Hourglass Faction Rewards for Levels 2-100.

  • There really should be some cosmetic rewards for leveling the Hourglass up to the Curse.

    Like for those sailing under the banner of the Pirate Lord: a Red Reskin (Like the Mighty Athena Cutlass) of the Pirate Legend Outfit, Equipment and Weapons.

    And for the followers of Flameheart a "Corrupted" Pirate Legend outfit, along with Corrupted PL weapons and Equipment. (Weapons could be a re-skin of the Soul Flame Weapons)

    Maybe even a re-color ship set for both.

    Having something to get during the grind to 100 would entice more players to stick with the mode.

  • @reverend-toast you literally get a new title every 10 levels and a variant of the faction figurehead every 20 levels. Arguably these are the best and most noticeable cosmetics to have on your pirate/ship.

  • At least you get rewards from lvl 2-200. Cosmetic unlocks from hourglass levels stop at 200. Theres no rewards from 201-999. You are expect to grind like crazy for commendations for those nearly 800 levels for unlocks. Arena was very similar long grind with few rewards. Once you gain the rewards no reason to play so people abandoned the mode. We see the same happening here except the base curses at 100 are good enough for most to call it quits. Some really crazy hull designs would have been cool to grind for. Like a Servants hull made entirely out of giant bones or something...

  • @tesiccl No they aren't. and the titles and figurehead are terrible. Sails are way more noticeable than figurehead. And does anyone ectually look at opponents' titles?

    A title isn't good enough for fighting on repeat every 10 levels. Let's do the math, 1 level up is roughly 4 wins, at 10 lvls that's roughly 40 battles won, which means for an average player, 1:1 win/loss ratio, that's 80 battles fought just to get a dumb title that you will barely see.

  • Currently, there are titles from 10-100. Along with the trinket rewards you unlock over time and ship decor. Though I do think it would be cool to have a bit more added, nothing super major though. Maybe a tattoo and scar reward at levels 25 and 75 for each faction.

  • @magus104 Getting the prestigious rewards (Gold variants) do make sense to have the long grind... but the grind from 1-100 is longer than 100-200... and without there being any meaningful cosmetics, it is a LONG grind (Over 100 wins) that people are giving up since the curse feels unattainable. Having something to get leading up to it would entice people to keep at it... which in turn would put more people in the queue... so ultimately it is a win win.

    I do think Titles would be a good thing to get from the ridiculous journey from 200-1000.

  • @fysics3037 oh and there are faction figureheads, there's lots of progression, but I do think they should add some small rewards for the pirate rather than basically just the ship.

  • @red0demon0 it is more than enough in my opinion. as a player grinding to 1000, levels 1-100 and 100-200 are the best in terms of rewards. I wish I was at least still getting rewards. If you took the original post and replaced "100" with "1000", I'd agree.

  • @tesiccl I am not sure if this is sarcasm or not... but personally I find those figureheads super weird looking, and they don't really go with any ship sets.

  • @red0demon0 It only takes 4 wins per level in the last 10 levels. Otherwise, it takes 3 from 80-90. And 2 from 10-70 (with slightly less rep). Level 1-10 is 1 win per level.

  • @reverend-toast it was not sarcasm :)

    That's also not precisely true, it takes 4 levels after lvl 30. 2-3 roughly around lvl 20

    Matter of perception, the majority of players aren't going to grind passed 100, much less 200, and even less so to 1,000. I didn't include anything passed 200+ because I had assumed it was a given that it's artificially leveling, especially for Athena guardians passed 100+. It is an absolute drag of a grind and one that the average player will most probably never go for. If it wasn't obvious before then it should definitely be certain now that if I'm arguing about lvls 2-100, then the same is true to a higher regards for lvl 100+, and even more so for 200- 1,000

  • @mastereyad I do agree there should be more from 200-1000... but like doing the Tall Tale 5 times to get the Gold Hoarder Curse... its a ridiculous task to show dedication. The most meaningful standard rewards should be from 100-200... but there should still be more than just an ugly figurehead and titles from 2-99. Getting a reskin outfit would be good for everyone, and again, would give non-dedicated PVPers something to feel like they are accomplishing something during that time.

    I unlocked the Ghost Curse pretty quickly... but the grind for the Skelly curse has felt super tedious, and I just want to collect (Steal) treasure 😛

  • @tesiccl "a variant of the faction figurehead every 20 levels"

    I know it was not your intent, but thanks for the lols...

    IMHO all of the rewards should be consolidated down to the first 100 levels, the reward after that should be the Skeleton or Phantom ships.

    The current rewards are terribly out of whack for the time spent and they are not that great. How many people really run either curse more than a week or so?

  • @tesiccl a dit dans Hourglass Faction Rewards for Levels 2-100. :

    @reverend-toast it was not sarcasm :)

    The fact that it wasn't sarcasm baffles me. :P Figureheads are the cosmetic I notice the least on a ship.

    All good tho, to each their own.

  • The developers should add rewards, right now the mode looks weird between 201 to 999 levels there are no rewards. Then what is the point of these levels.

    Agreed. I think more rewards before the curse would keep people active longer. But it would be awesome for more post 200. That grind to 1000/1000 is rough

  • @reverend-toast said in Hourglass Faction Rewards for Levels 2-100.:

    ... but the grind from 1-100 is longer than 100-200...

    Honestly curious: what do you mean by this? Does it take fewer wins to get from 100-200?

  • @red0demon0 if thats true for you and it takes 4 wins at level 30 then your game is bugged lol
