Clarification on new reward structure

Does the top 1k still get a gold crew I see the word dilithium is additional reward along with merits but there is no mention of ranks 51-1000 receiving a gold crew. Also how do you guys feel about the change seems like a step in the right direction as long as ranks 51-1000 still get a gold copy.

    @Shan can you clarify if ranks 51-1000 still get a copy of the gold as well ?

    I'm curious about this too as the post seemed to point toward only top 50 getting the 5* with dillithium replacing it for the remainder of the top 1k.

    Ditto... is there still a Legendary for placing top 1000?
    If it's limited to just the top 50... Ouch.
  • Synthetic CommanderSynthetic Commander ✭✭✭✭✭
    That would surprise me if 50-1k got no legendary. I would not be bothered to compete for NEARLY as many events, especially as I complete more 4* crew.

    As I read that statement only the top50 will get the gold card. My feedback: that's a very steep downgrade and I don't like it at all!

    But I will hold on the torches and pitchforks until confirmed

    Hang on tight, I believe something is indeed missing from that message!

    If 50-1k don't get a gold crew anymore I'm threshold and out for the rest of my life playing this game... competing for top 50 is already too difficult
  • AJD284AJD284 ✭✭
    If they are indeed removing getting one copy of the 5* from ranks 51-1000 then that is a terrible move. It is already hard enough to get into the top 1000, to restrict it to the top 50 would be asinine. Please clarify this Shan, as this could have a major impact on event participation, or lack thereof....

    If it is limited, I think I may have just spent my last dime on the game. I'm really hoping we get a bit of clarification soon.

    I think we are safe as well as dB ... for now

    Hmm a bit like my 1/5 Admiral Cartwright ;)

    I think you missed a 0 on the end of all those Dilithium rewards.... What a joke.

    There, fixed it for you, DB.

    Rank 1: 5000
    Ranks 2-5: 4000
    Ranks 6-15: 3250
    Ranks 16-25: 2500
    Ranks 26-50: 2250
    Ranks 51-75: 2000
    Ranks 76-200: 1750
    Ranks 201-350: 1500
    Ranks 351-650: 1250
    Ranks 651-1000: 1000

    Wait surely there should be 0s added on the end of the ranks too

    While on first reading, I would agree that this announcement suggests that only the top 50 would get a gold from now on; on closer examination, it may be, as usual, just poor wording on DB’s part... it could be that they wanted to say that 1-50 ranks would have the same reward structure for all event types now and that we will also get free DIL while top 1000 is unchanged (still get gold).

    Will wait for Shan to clarify although our fleet chat already assumed the worse

    so rank 10 gets 5k dil, and rank 2-50 get 4k dil? sure would be a fight to get ranked exactly 10th. :open_mouth:

    It's fairly unlikely to be honest! :D:D:D

    It could be (probably), although since nothing changed in that announcement for 26-50 not sure why they mentioned them in that case.

    For so long the community has complained that there is very little incentive to place higher once inside the top-1000, unless you're inside the top-50, since all those places receive a 1/5* legendary crew reward.

    My assumption, giving DB the benefit of the doubt, is that they are going to start using dilithium (new) and merits (increased and more varied amounts, most likely) as the rewards to more effectively differentiate the various tiers inside the top-1000.

    I think it's a great move, if my assumption holds true.


    EDIT: the only frustrating part is that I apparently made my push for the top-100 achievement a couple weeks too early, as I missed out on the 175 dilithium reward! lol

    I was being more literal about the "end" of the ranks, thus only one of the 2 ranks listed is at the "end" of each row. :smile: 10, 2-50, 6-150, etc. Chaos!!

    Finished 19th in our last Galaxy [Plague of Plagues], so for me, this announcement is a day late and a dollar short for an issue that was brought up previously. I enjoyed my 1/5* in an acrimonious manner...

    This is DB's way of getting another buzz feed flying through their forum. I'm enjoying it.

    They'll get it right.
