Just curious regarding arena rewards, what is the point of showing all the rewards for every rank in arena when in reality its only - 6 path or ninja student.

Also in-game explanation under rules and in-game explanation under rewards are contradicting.
Under rewards, it says:
"When a new season starts, you will gain rewards based on the highest rank you achieved in the previous season. Rewards will be issued via in-game mail."

I got my 6 path reward, and I'm happy. But honestly it feels bad for those who didn't. So many people caught by surprise here. To be fair, the rewards *on is so much bigger and obvious to click compared to the '?'

Maybe fix the in-game explanation under rewards so people don't get their hearts broken again. This post was last edited by tim***@gmail.com at 2017-2-17 00:39

So the minimum reward thing is only for this time round but changed in april?
Or rewards below 6 path rank per season is only unlocked after achieving 6 path once?

You have to admit this is pretty confusing and not intuitive. And in fact this is the first time I've seen such information. I think its also quite unfair given that matching has been down since 2.0 and information regarding all of this is not well/fully explained and even wrong in the client itself. Oasis needs to accept some of the responsibility here. More than half your player base don't read the forums. And those who do are still equally confused.

Would it be to hard to just reward everyone based on their rank? At least this once? and then implement whatever you wish to. Even now matching is off.. i have another account perma stuck as ninja academy student because i can't get any matches since this maintenance while my this account who has achieved 6 path is enjoying 15 second matches. There are still many issues and we can understand that.. but its frustrating that players are punished for it.

Let's all be honest here. The system proposed isn't fair. Those that think otherwise, I'm guessing it doesn't affect you or your friends or you are seriously underestimating the difficulty to get 6 path sannin in this new system. It's not just about willpower and that people are lazy.

Let me just explain some possible future drawbacks to this system. Again the rewarding is "All or Nothing". So you will have 2 groups of players, one who will do it religiously until they get 6 path and another who wont touch arena even once.
But the problem comes because in order to get 6 path you need opponents. Not all 100 players (for simplicity) who strive to get 6 path will get it. maybe 15-20 will be stranded at different ranks along the way with no one to match against. Not because they are not strong (refines etc.) or dont have good strategy, but because they are the weakest among those trying to get 6 path. All those he could easily beat aren't even trying. As it is, I don't think you can be matched with people far outside your rank.
Repeat this cycle and the stranded 20 will stop playing ranked. Then among the 80 still competing there will be a new bottom 15 who cant achieve 6 paths even though they have done it with ease previously. See the pattern? The All or nothing reward structure will eventually kill the system.

I'd really suggest to reconsider the rewards system. I'm tired of seeing friends quitting.
