Are the armor unlocks for PvP now to cheap?

For the first place you now get 4500 TRP in GvG. To get access to Fancy armor, you need 1000 TRP once!
That means you have 3500 point left to get Fancy armor. Looking at the costs that means you can get 70 pieces of Fancy armor, 17.5 pieces of Obsidian and 46.6 pieces of Vaabian. Each armor has a max of 5 pieces to be complete.

People getting armor that grants no advantage easily?

INCONCEIVABLE!

Are they too cheap to obtain, answer no. Although contenders for #1 spot in MATs should already have fancy armor and weapons on multiple characters.

/end of thread

Basically all the #1 contenders will have everything they want from TRP.

anyone with a brain would spend them on keys anyway

People who don't care about money (i.e. the GvGers who got obsi armor from farming with their monk) wouldn't

As someone within striking distance of PvP obsidian armor and planning to get them by the end of the next mAT, I must not have a brain after all. I always suspected it.

Sure 4500 points are a lot. But you'll only get that amount after winning the GvG....like 8 people a month.

What do you want? Make the armor more expensive so those 8/month can only get 1 set of Fancy Armor, and screw over the rest of the players?

This thread is really not warranted. PvP players have a MUCH harder time getting prestige armor.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Look at the calculation on the bottom!

Yes, the 4500 are only for the number one. But the number two gets what? Taking one of the calculations from the wiki page:
For example, if 40 people played in an HvH daily tournament, the top 10 winners (25% of the finishers, 10 out of 40) would receive the following amount of points:
first place: 100%
second place: 90% and so on

Now take enough participants to get 20 winners:
first place: 100%
second place: 95%

100 winners = 400 participants:
second place: 99% = 4455 TRP

So the more players participate the more winners exist and the more points the follow ups get.

Only one team's getting first.

To the above post, that's idiotic. The most guilds that have ever turned out for a monthly AT is in the 70s.

65 participant in the HvH monthly, 56 in the GvG monthly wtf are you talking about?

14 winners. 33750 Total points over all winning guilds. Assume 8 players per guild.
TOTAL ADDITIONAL TRP: 33750*8 = 337 complete sets of Obsidian

These winners will max Zaishen title in no time...

If it doesn't give them an advantage in battle, I'm not going to care if they get easier access to nicer armours.

you're wrong that's not 337 set of Fow armor, thats 53920 zkeys for the rich PvE masses to buy.

dude u gotta look at it in terms of opportunity cost. Now 5 trp = 5k, before the zaishen title 5 trp = 3k, and even before that 5 trp had no effective conversion into money.

Basically now.. you win a tournament, you get veryvery rich =P

It's just armor.

well thats there reward...competitions shoudl have rewards.that'll draw morre peopel into them, mnore incentive.
its monthly also so its not that bad.
