Loyalty System Introduction
Today, I'm gonna layout some details about this system I want to develop to further reward players coming back to these tournament and participating in these posts.
Rules are going to be very simple. For every tournament participation you will get 1 LP (loyalty point), If you finish in the top 10 you get 1 extra LP.
You can also earn an extra LP by reposting tournament related posts to help me spread the word about these tourneys. There might be some additional posts/events where I will be giving out more LPs.
One important thing to do before you are eligible to participate in the Loyalty System. Just leave a comment under the latest tournament post (this post at the moment). You need to do this only ONCE. I want to rule out some of those bots that only auto-pilot through tournaments and reward actuall players.
Like I said, the first time I teased this system, all prior tournament participations will be accounted for and you will get LPs from that. Next post I'll make a table of participants and their respective LPs. Everyone that already has some points accumulated but isn't still registered for the Loyalty System will have their LPs removed if they don't register before Begginner's tourney #10 finishes. That's around 5 weeks to register.
Loyalty Reward Structure
Keep in mind that this is something I'll experiment over time and things will change, I'll be adding and removing available rewards but I'll try to stick with the structure as long as it makes sense to me and I can afford it. So the structure currently looks like this:
# | Reward | Loyalty Point Cost |
---|---|---|
1. | Chaos Legion Pack | 100 LP |
2. | Random CL Summoner card (excluding legendaries) | 90 LP |
3. | Random CL Epic card | 50 LP |
4. | Random CL rare card (excluding summoners) | 10 LP |
5. | Random CL common card | 5 LP |
To redeem rewards you need to comment on the most recent tournament post with "I want to redeem reward # X times." for example "I want to redeem reward 4. 5 times (essentially redeeming 5 random rares)
SO, what do you guys think about this reward system? Please leave some feedback and ideas in the comments below. I'm gonna need to trimm some DEC rewards from the tournament to keep this running for a while. If it gets enough support I'll be able to return to the original DEC rewards. We'll see.
It turns out, there's not much of an interest in silver league tournament so I'm gonna postpone that idea. Also I'm gonna lower a bit an entry fee for Gold+ participants to 75 DEC.
