Event Ladder System

[Lockzilla]

Also as it states. Diablor / RRA can challenge the top event ladder to wager some points if he wants. Anyone can.

Were thinking of more ideas, but as of right now were not going to judge the Event Ladder during this time due to the announcement of the server reset. I want to see how it does 1/2 months after ladder reset.

Out of all the event winners you posted 5/10 top ten are clan LocK

@Savior Your point about only being able to benefit from events by joining clan lock isn't exactly valid. Sure, the event ladder is one thing that they have a clear advantage with, and that is something that will be changing, however for the events themselves it does not matter if you are in a clan or not. Everyone who participates has an equal chance at winning them as everyone else.

We have already diversified the times that we run events somewhat, and that will continue to be expanded on, but I'll also say that I'm going to be adding a PvM boss speedrun event starting in February to try and add some competition to the PvM side of things.

Let me know if you have any more ideas.

Sorry if something I said was misunderstood or said wrong.
I didn't mean them being in a clan gave them an advtantage of winning the events.
I just meant being in a clan gave them the advantage of winning the event ladder altogether.
So the 1# prize every time would go to LocK clan simply because all their points add up.

Just to point out. I have Acyroma hand the gold out equally to everyone that participated in the events, this is how the gold was handled last Event Ladder winnings:

Hello my clan. We have won December Event Ladder Rank Gold Winnings! Yay! LocK continues to be proven over and over again as the #1 Clan on BOTH servers!

Here is how we are distributing the gold equally out.

Revandarth - 650 GOLD
Brimstonejack - 1000 GOLD
LocKziLLa 1000 Gold
Samiam - 650 GOLD
Eric - 650 GOLD
DrLukifer - 1000 GOLD

Your going to have a total of 4950 GOLD SENT. The other 50 reminder gold will go to me.
These are based of whom won. BlueVex aka Chris doesn't want any GOLD. He donates his gold to Myles
So I didn't count him in this. and certainly not going to have him donate Event Ladder winnings to Myles

I simply did the math. How many times a single clan person has carried us through events.

Revandarth got 1 point
Brimstonejack got 2 points
Lockzilla got 2 points
Samiam got 1 point
Eric got 1 point
DrLukifer got 2 points
Bluevex got 2 points (but hes not including on this)


So my point is, not one person is making a BIG get rich scheme with gold. As you can see, it was handle equally out to everyone who participate in the events and got us a point.

I'm also aware that you divide the winnings equally, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still the top prize.
It's still unfair that with Lock Clan winning every time they will always get to divide the top prize.
No matter who's getting it in the clan, it's still being given to your clan, and overtime your clan is still being benefited most.
With the way the server is right now, with the amount of clans there are, every single event ladder will be won by LocK clan.
And that is a fact until someone else makes a clan, simply because the points from all clan members being added together.
I'm just saying if all players points were separate, other players would actually have a chance at getting the top prize.
It's impossible for anyone to compete with an entire clans points combined, unless they have a clan or are in a clan.
Solo Event Ladder and Clan Event Ladder should be two separate things or events are just there to feed gold to Lock Clan.
Or to feed any other clan that could eventually be made and decides to take advantage of the situation.
And then once it gets competitive no solo player will ever win in the event ladder ever again.
It's just set up very wrong in my eyes, the clan event ladder points adding is a great idea, I just think it should be seperate.
And I think it should be added later on when there are more clans because like I said, LocK clan will always win.
Clans are basically non existent on Annihilus, LocK clan is the 1 and only clan here that does anything really.
Yeah there's a few others but they're all just for show and they arent very big or active at all, so it's like they don't exist.
Anything to do with clans should wait, because Annihilus has only 1 clan, or atleast only 1 good clan, and that is Lock Clan.

I would agree with you on the solo clan ladder, but there isnt enough clans. This was designed to push people to make clans. So separating both of them won't work. Not to mention that's more gold going out each month.

Well I'd say changing it to ranking people based on their own points earned would be better if only 1 option would be chosen.
But if the event prizes were lowered then maybe both of them could possibly be added.
