No More 1k Hats? - 3

Saber Alumba · 05-03-2016

A lot of people are talking about this as if the news post clearly states that guild hats will be removed ... Please note that is says guild hats "under the current system", so it is possible that the new system may still have a guild hat as one of its rewards, however achieved in a different way than accumulating tower hours as it currently stands.

What happened to xor anyways.

True, I haven't talked to him since like 2012.

They should decrease the amount of towers, to increase the competition. I also think instead of getting a 1k hat reward, guilds are rewarded with a hat (or other prize) if they finish in the top 3 in hours for the season. Since there is a leaderboard for this, I feel like it would make people more willing to compete, because they're not only playing for their own time, they're also trying to limit the opposing guilds hours.

... or maybe this idea sucks, I dunno, my experience in towering is very limited.

They did the same thing back in 2011/2012, but reimplemented it after a few months.

What are you referring to that we did?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

From what I remember(and other people verified this from saying the same thing) There was a point where they announced that every guild wouldn't get a 1k hat. After the top 10 guilds got 1k hats they made the mistake by continuing to give them out rather then making a new competitive system. When they realized how dumb it was they tried to stop giving out 1k hats but they quickly went back to doing it

I remember specifically towering with Exciled Elements when they announced that 1k hats weren't being rewarded anymore and it was going to be replaced with something else, however I always thought they did the removal of 1k hats because of guilds getting 1k in less than 2 weeks on the FB server and then later reinstituted them because the new reward was never decided upon.

I forget which guild it was, but they got 1k in about 10 days I think. They controlled all 5 towers most of the time. (1000/5)/24 = 8.33 days to get 1k hours if all towers are held for 24hours each of those day

Yeah Slacky's right I think it was actually said in the news aswell as annouced but later staff when back on themselves (cough*like the work on what we already have than make new town*cough)... But yeah said that they will stop and each guild that gets from then on would get a generic item(that was never made/thought up of) There is few guilds with two 1k hats:
zZ FATAL Zz -1st fb
Redrum if counting there fb squad as same guild -2nd fb
FUTUR3?
not sure if any others got ...

but begs the question for what the new prizes will be if they couldn't even decide on a generic item.

Rip Regashi. At 880 hours and the leader is banned.

I dont remember there ever being a post about removing 1k hats. However, I do remember there was the announcement for no more gif/animated 1k hats. I may have been a new player, if there was ever an announcement to remove 1k hats.

Yeah it was FUTUR3, but there were others too, like Luck, New World Order, Exciled Elements and a lot more.

That was in the last 2 years, maybe sooner

Livid · 05-03-2016

Im looking forward to the new system, more competition, less afking for a hat.

TeK · 05-03-2016

Anyone know if guilds that finish with under 1k hours will have those hours transferred into points (or whatever is coming)? Mainly talking about guilds like (probably) Regashi, Assertive, whatever BFM is being done rn, OpTiC DrEaMz.

Also will 1k hats have to be submitted before the end of the month, or do guilds just need 1k hours by then?

I doubt it, that'd kinda be like rewarding people who failed with a head start
