Poll: Gamer Title [Skillz]

Like me, many people are probably very excited that they can earn up to 20points a game with costume brawl. I made this thread to see whether or not people like the way it was done (10 + X consec MAX 20). Previously, roller beetle, and all the other games gave their set amount every time... however if you won, you would stay and still receive the same amount of points.

I think that We should receive +consec points for dragon arena, roller, as well as wintersday dwayna vs grenth. However, add limit. Like 30 skillz or so. Its crazy to getting over 60+ skillz points each win.

It's possible to get 30 gamer points per win now. I like it, it results in less grinding. ^^

Don't you get sent back in Rollerbeetle? Consecutive wins wouldn't really work there unless you were in a continuous game until you lost.
As for the idea itself, I love it.

It's a good change that really shows that Linsey and crew are willing to make the title grind go down a lot. Someone who wins 100 times gets well over rank 1 of gamer now, compared to 70% into it.

I have to admit that I have never even begun to care about the Gamer title because of the ridiculously short time frame you have to work on it. However, this weekend I have found myself looking at my Gamer title, wondering how many points it would take to get that next level. The number of points you can gain in one sitting is pretty astounding.
Since there's not a poll yet, or if there ever will be one, /signed. It's almost made me care.

Actually it caps out at 10+40 per win.
As for my vote, less grind ftw. =)
Edit: A taste of things to come for the big November update?

I like this change, I went from 300 points to 1,300+ points in 2 win streaks of 14 wins and one of 8 wins, in just two days.
I hope this change is for Snowball and Dragon Arena. I might actually play snowball if it is.

Seems like a welcome change, so yes definitely it could be implemented to the other mini-games.
Even with this change, the title is stupidly difficult to get for most people. Like me, who only do a couple matches for fun then go do something else.

It would be a good change if they first did something about Syncing......yes I am QQing coz I am not in a sync guild and have to go with randoms 
Raiku
I like to know if it is maxable
Medion
No please.
Not because I don't wanna have it or because I want to be the only one to have it (lol, still rank 1 here). Making it easier to get the title will for me change from unachievable to something I could potentially get a semi-decent rank at. And when it's achievable to me, it's changing into farming (for me at least), which I don't want to do.

Wow, that is some mad gamer points rewards there. I didn't even bother with gamer, but this gives me another reason to do costume brawl (the other being mad balth points for unlocks).

The crazy gamer point rate has sucked all the fun out of the game. It seems impossible to get a good streak running without synching right now.
Edit: I was talking about Costume Brawl, of course.
WTB: a plain old fun festival game with no title award or any other motivation for synching.

PvP farming is under way apparently. CB is no fun because of syncing

Maybe I'm lucky, or you're all lying through your teeth. I haven't faced 1 notable synced team. I've went from 600 gamer to 2121 just off some lucky random PuG teams.
I'm not playing it for gamer, it's just extra, I play for faction and tot bags ^^.

I havent noticed ANY synced teams. Noting that I went to 499 to 1,027 points. Just with some really good pugs.

/signed, its just a fun title and the new system actually rewards good plays as well.
i synced 10 games with friends, and ye syncing is a bit lame, easy wins. i can easily imagine a good team can get 50+ wins this way. Sadly, but true. The only way to solve this is to make less crowded areas mix up with other parts of the game (for example, people syncing in asia districts are mixed up with people from europe/america to create a bigger player pool, thus less chance of a successfull sync)
my highest was 45 when i played war and had to go [sweet sweet parents]. it was a random team and lots of fun. you see people trying to communicate on splits and taking initiatives, it easily tells who is experienced and who is not.
I dont think you should put any value to the title besides the fun factor. If you want to get it just for HoM, well r3 isn't that far with the new point system (assuming you can play a bit and point system affects all events)

So far I've played with a bunch of lousy teams, but then every so often I get a team that's willing to do some common sense things like not split off to fight a team of 4, run away from a pitched battle to chase someone leaving their team to die, actually KNOW how friggin' important the battle cry shrine is, and KNOW that kills win the game and can actually follow calls. All really day one, page one, paragraph one, line one kind of general skills. All you need is the basics and coordinated movement, and if they've ever seen the compass before it's not asking a lot.

Well, many of the games Ive played in have involved at least 2 from the same guild on one side or the other.
I have just finished a 25 win run with an excellent pug group - we were going well until we met a team consisting of 4 people from the Keys Guild +1 other that may or may not have known them, so yes, there are syncers - I personally think its unfair but Im not anet.

Synced groups aren't too much of a threat to be honest. It's more likely they want to play with each other in the event rather than farm gamer. There is no best build here, strategy is as likely to fail on their side as it is on yours.
I've gone to 40+ wins without any syncing, there may have been some guys on my teams that were in vent.. which I doubt that as they would've just pinged vent.
I do wish they put a pause in there, when nature calls it can get uncomfortable

I agree syncing is SOMEWHAT on the lame side as it SOMEWHAT violates the spirit of the event, but I'm a die-hard defender of the bible according to Sirlin which pretty much says: if you're allowed to do something that's going to increase your chances of winning then you're only cheating yourself if you don't do it.
So, do you want to be a lamer or a loser? Not a great choice. Personally I'd vote for doing something to make syncing much harder. Since I'd bet my left nut that's not about to happen, fundamentally I can't condemn people for gaming the system to win more. If I felt I had to, or really intended to farm as many points as I possibly could, I'd be doing the same thing.
Meh. If I wasn't having more fun than I've had in months I'd probably muster up some more righteous fury.

syncing will be there, but i haven't really come across any synced full teams in CB yet. and until 8 of 10 matches are synced teams i don't see it as a problem.
As well, come on who doesn't like syncing dragon arena with a friend or two or three. haha.

You just need to find the build you're best at using, and hope for as few idiots as possible on your team.

People on these forums REALLY need to stop overexaggerating on the syncing "problem." It is not as common as everybody thinks, and every time some people lose, they just assume, "oh they must be a sync." No one wants to admit they aren't the most awesome player every and sometimes they just lose to a better team.
Really, this is just like Snowball fights. You lose again and again and again until you get a team with the majority of the players know what they are doing (you could usually drag one guy worth of dead weight through snowball) and then win 10-15 games in a row every time unless you face another good quality team (and then, by definition, somebody HAS to lose).
Just because somebody wins a lot of games in a row doesn't mean they sync, it just means that they finally randomlly got placed with a team that knows what they are doing.
If you NEVER seem to get 10+ win streaks in event games... then you are probablly the guy who is dragging the team down (and thus why your team never has a majority of compitient players0.

I like the new system of getting more Gamer points for consecutive victories. If they're doing it in Costume Brawl, I'll expect to see it in the other festival games as well.
Only thing I'm disappointed about it is that it rewards syncers and people that have large blocks of time to burn, but I can ignore that in favor of less grind and bigger numbers.
