Leaderboard

Soooo, after yesterdays/todays "clarification" changes for the Party WQ there has been a massive dissatisfaction throughtout the community. The lack of communication for such content as of lately is a really big issue and needs to change/be addressed. First of all something positive. I, and I believe a big part of the community, really likes the idea of the Party WQ. The simple concept idea of it is very cool, it's a nice touch for events. Unfortunately this is basically the only positive part about it - the concept idea of it. The execution of praised concept idea is abysmal. There were no clear rules, no clear explanation and any complaints towards the content is completly missed or ignored. The current issues: - 12hours hunt - hunt only during weekdays (monday - friday) - the 20% top contribution threshold - (no weekly lockout - will explain) - zero communication/accountability Now, to explain all the issues a bit more in detail. The leaderboard hunt being 12h makes it basically impossible to compete for anyone who works a normal 9-5 job on the daily basis or has any responsibilities in life. The 12h hunt wouldn't be as big of an issue if it would be for a non-event content which is permanently accessible throughout the year. However this is an already time-gated contest. The leaderboard hunt not being accessible during the weekend also plays into this exact same issues. Why we are not able to hunt on the weekend already is absolutely beyond me. The 20% top contribution threshold - to put it very simply and as polite as possible: a decision completely disconnected from the community. There isn't even a way to directly check if you are in the top20% or not. Absolute nonsense. Let's get down to the biggest issue by far - the communication/accountability. The fact there was 0 communication about such a crucial information is a big red flag. This isn't just about the current content but a massive issue over a long period of time in general. But this might be a topic for another thread, let's stick to the current one. Reading such comments from a staff member just shows that there is 0 accountability shown. "But this way it's fair for everyone starting next week" - the content has already been released since 3weeks. Why on earth was this information never communicated to begin with. This entire part just feels like a slap to the face of the community. Suggestions/Fixes: - 6/8hours hunt - hunt resets on friday 12am gmt+0 (the current ending period for the contest) and starts immediately at the same time for the next week (saturday 00:01am gmt+0) - top10 teams get access to the hunting grounds (~40players weekly) - lockout the players who got access to the hunting ground for 1week cycle. - communication To explain my suggestions: 6/8h hunts are still a big time investment but make it WAY more accessible for more players. It's pretty self explanatory in my opinion. The hunt reset suggestion is for the exact same reason - more accessibility for more players. Someone who works a 9-5 job maybe can't invest 6/8hours during weekdays into the game but has a lot more free time on the weekend, as example. Removing the absolutely nonsense of a threshold and changing it to a top8/10 teams system gives a very clear definition who is allowed to access. With the current system there are so many ways to completely manipulate the top20% which is an issue. To make the content even more accessible for players add a lockout for the top10 teams for an entire week cycle. As example: Me (Callmerengod) + 3 of my teammates make it into the top10 teams and get access for the hunting grounds in week1. All 4 of us will not be able to submit anything for the leaderboard for week2. Starting week3 we are able to submit again. This way the maximum amount of ppl being locked out for an entire week would be 40 players. Obviously this includes alt accounts. So if I make it into the top teams week1 and would be locked out for week2 I would not be allowed to submit on an alt acc for week2. The same goes for the other server. If I'm locked out week2 on silver I would not be allowed to submit on gold during week2. Well, now to the most obvious part - communication. It's a shocker but just communicate. Especially such crucial information needs to be communicated. It happens that you forget to add it in to the ingame dialogue - we are all humans, mistakes happen. But then simply communicate it, apologize and take accountability for it. The fact it was known for weeks that it's missing in the dialogue (be it deliberately or not) and didn't even take 5min to adjust it yesterday, after some backlash, is already an issue. But then taking zero accountability for it and not even apologizing for something which needed to be communicated from the start is a bad look. I'd like to hear some other ideas from players on how to make this content better. I think I speak for the majority here (correct me if I'm wrong) when I say that we all love the idea of the WQ. But it needs changes. Thanks for reading, you can keep the typos for yourself.

The idea of a Party WQ is quite cool indeed and I really hope it will be explored more during the future events. As it is right now, it feels half baked. It simply doesn't align with PRO's standards. The commitment it takes to reach a decent score surpasses the "rewards" by a mile. 1. Hunting time Reducing it from 24h to 12h was a pretty good decision. Now players don't have to hunt for an unhealthy amount of time and they actually get a chance against the macro users. I don't agree with Kamui's suggestion to lower it even more as that might have a negative effect. The contest would basically depend too much on luck, while currently I'd say there is harmony between the luck you need and the dedication it takes to hunt for 12 whole hours. However, the point Kamui makes is valid. People who work Monday - Friday have barely any chance to reach a high score. To fix this, imo it would be better to be able to compete during the weekend as well. Thus, you would be able to choose the 12h timeframe anytime you want. In this way, there will be more parties overall, more chances for players with tough schedules and in the end more players being able to hunt. 2. Rewards The rewards are lackluster and I think there are 2 things that should be fixed. Right now you don't get to choose when to hunt the ultra beasts. That sucks. After spending so much time to be able to hunt, players should at least get the chance to choose when to use the 48 hours. In this way, a player from a team who reached top 20% in week 1 will be able to hunt for 48h whenever they want during week 2. In this way, everyone will be able to choose a favourable time and they won't miss out on other stuff like multiplayer bcc, fishing contest, world quests, outbreaks. The teams who were top 20% during the first 2 weeks missed on so much stuff as there were 3 World Quests and also the chance to encounter anniversary larvesta. The spawns are underwhelming. I get the goal is to catch the ultra beasts, but they are already pretty hard to encounter and there is no guarantee you will get a decent one or a form. The second rarest pokemon are uncommon. I would argue you get more value from hunting on the event island instead where you can encounter 2 or 3 rares in each map. Both Haunted Cave Depths map should receive a second rare pokemon to make it feel more worthy to hunt there. 3. Polishing / Testing Unlike content from the past, this contest felt extremely rushed. There were (and still are) quite some issues with it which makes it look kinda amateurish. The 24h period to hunt was a bad idea from the beginning and I'm happy it has been addressed quickly. Several pokemon lines or pokemon caught from some places weren't able to be submitted at all. Again, thankfully it has been addressed. The Essence cultist is far from the PC and since you need to submit the pokemon one by one it takes a while to submit everything. The option to create a party of 2 to 4 players should not be a thing. It should be a fixed number. Currently if you create a party of 2 or 3 players you have no way to reach top 20%. Players not knowing it and creating such parties are doomed from the start. I hope in the future such new content will spend more time in the oven instead of being released unpolished. 4. Communication The top 20% thingy should have been announced from day 1. Not everything has to be treated as a state secret. Transparency is needed and appreciated by everyone. - All in all, the Party WQ is a step in the right direction and I'm pretty sure we will see more cool content from the fire content team.

As someone who works a 9to5, you almost feel left out. During the week, I have no way to hunt for 12 hours straight.

if I want to complain about this decision is there a place where I can do that? I don't believe its a fair outcome especially when I already transferred servers. 1. both the owner and the "buyer" knew about the 15 min rule and violated it 2. they were warned a fair amount of time before. id love to at the very least be sent back to silver and have my free transfer available again.

So, in conclusion, I'm being punished by having my traded item returned without my Pokemon being returned? Because now the money and the exchanged items have disappeared from my system. @Yeda @Darkiler
