Yeah.
I'd agree with more packs instead of less packs and more rewards. . .

And if they said that they listened to the community. .
Who the heck asked for LESS PACKS?

"Elite/Hero/Legendary Feat Gift Pack"are the rewards for the Last 16 rounds, if you clear it, more rewards will be added to the Elite/Hero/Legendary Feat Gift Pack; each time you clear one of the phases of rounds of the Great Ninja War, the number of gift packs given to your Group will be reduced as you advance through the rounds, but the rewards in each gift pack will increase!;

What does this mean for smaller servers that only have a couple of groups? Would this mean that, say, Server 1, who has 8 groups and 3 rounds of GNW, would get more packs than a later server, who may only go through 2 rounds of GNW?

Or, in the same way, if we don't progress further in the rounds, would that mean that, in addition to having the number of packs cut, our pack's rewards would be lower as well?

There's a lot of questions here, since the wording here is still pretty vague.

I kind of like this, the mega super groups will break up and we will have a bunch of smaller more even groups now maybe.

you guys also gotta remember they follow the cn for the core base and cant change things that the cn do not have so things like events and updates they can choose to help but things like adding ninjas or modes that the cn does not have they can not do

I vote for more packs and worse rewards. Although they might not change it as it follows chinese patchnotes.

Same here

More pack with less reward is much better than fewer rewards...

Fewer rewards makes it feel like gamedevs want servers to become low populated :(

Dont do fewer pack pls! do more pack woth less reward

Already I am on my way of convincing my group to try and go for last place in the GNW. Just so we can give packs out to everyone. It doesn't break up the GNW as it will make it more competitive to see who gets last place.

how do u guys know that first place who gets the least amount of packs wont get double the total rewards? if that happens i dont care if i have to wait 2 months when i get more rewards than the people in last get in 4. if people wanted packs so badly now then every server would have 8 groups with 10 people in each group, but instead we stack alot of people in 1 group because we want to win more than we want packs.

Exactly but even this way you still don't know how many packs may hold. If the standard number of packs give out unchange it's mean 1st group will get 7 packs, 2nd group will get 8 packs and 3rd will get 9 packs.
So even if you run a 10 members group, some maybe won't be able to receive packs and have to wait.

I don't see a problem here, as long as TOTAL rewards go up with rank, what does it matter how they are split in packs. Would you rather have 5 seals pack every week or 11 seals pack every 2 weeks, this is a no brainer. If rank one still gets more total seal scrolls then rank 2 and etc it's fine.

So only 1-3rd place get packs?

it is not all about 1 person but helping as many as possible. The difference between a legendary and an elite is 4 seal scrolls not that much in the long term even when handing out multiple packs to multiple players.

And there will be less competition and resentment over who gets a pack or not.

Its actually 5 difference its 10 8 5 or do you mean in new packs?

Ok, a difference of 5. Still doesn't change the fact that people want to feel rewarded for the work they put in. Less packs means more squabbling for packs.

IT is yes.

who ever said we were going to have less total packs than we have now?

we might have more packs than we currently do at first place. and even if we dont then who cares? people in low pop servers had 2-3 groups in GNW and instead of making groups to farm packs they stacked in those 2-3, obviously alot of people dont want those seals, so if your group mates want them they should go to a new server and make a group with their alts just to farm the ~60 seals a week for their main

Yes, run to a new server and create more dead servers.

There are going to be less packs the higher the ranking goes. So even if rank 1 is 9 packs as normal getting more packs would still be better for bigger groups. Less fighting over packs. When you have a group size of 90 and 40-50 people show up then people can go for over a month without getting a pack. People like the people and the group and have bonds of friendship that hold us together.

When you come from a merged server then you can talk as we constantly have 8 groups in the GNW. We want packs for certain but we aren't going to trade friendship for more packs.

More packs > Better rewards for larger groups it really doesn't change things all that much. The rewards have to be astronomically higher to risk the extra pressure of less packs and thus less rewards to those who deserve something for their time and support.

Atm top group gets 8 so if the rest got more like 9 10 11 12 etc that would be good it would be bad if they cut top group to like 4 or something
