Sad realisation (in General)

I'm stuck in 7/20 for ever. Anyone want to share why?

Congrats on hitting the 7/20 BA refresh :)

Your growing slower then Koy. IE gaining less MPR per month/day/week.

Flamey September 23 2007 8:53 AM EDT

been in 7/20 for a while now.

That explains why I will not get into 6/20, if at this rate is there a point in time where I will actually drop into 8/20?

48Zach September 23 2007 8:56 AM EDT

I guess so.

QBRanger September 23 2007 8:56 AM EDT

If I am growing faster then you, then there will be a point where your MPR is less then the cutoff for 8/20 BA refresh, so the answer is yes. Provided you are growing less then Koy.

My challenge bonus will for ever decrease as well. Currently getting from -1% to -6%.

I was hoping to get into 6/20 so I could not get penalised rewards, and also to miss less BA.

I'm starting to think things should be the other way round, at least with the number of BA, when you're at the top you should be working harder to stay there, this in effect gives slower players to catch up. Right now, it's easier for Ranger to play, he misses no BA, compared to a 10/20 player who can miss quite a bit.

*This in effect gives slower players a chance to catch up.

Also, currently its -2% to -6%.

No - the change point from 8/20 to 7/20 is 40% of Koy's MPR. You could well be growing slower than Koy but unless your growing at less than 40% of his speed for a prolonged period of time you will not drop back to 8/20.

Yes - so if you grow 60%+ MPR as Koy you should be able to get to 6/20 soon enough, I think.

in this thread (http://www.carnageblender.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=002DxY) i spoke of the catch 22 i was faced with regarding tat choice. you are now facing that same exact issue as i was. there is no good solution available to you at least that i found. i wish you better luck than i had.

Yes, hitting 6/20 was a real boon for me. Once I saw how close I was, I just worked at it constantly until I hit it, and now life's about 5-10% better rewards wise.
I have to say that being in this bracket makes me feel over-privileged. I can fight anyone I can beat and suffer no penalty, whereas before I had to fight at the edge of my abilities and still suffered up to -10% penalty.

Has reward based off of Score AND MPR been proven? It seems that I get higher rewards while fighting people with the same score but higher MPR.

Consider an NCB? You can easily get over 2mil mpr with one now.

Flamey September 23 2007 6:03 PM EDT

This'll be for everyone that comes up to this level. Not just this level, you can't just say, nah sorry, its impossible, start an NCB.

I've had this character since I started, I'd rather not start a NCB where I can not buy BA and not staying in a clan.
