    I've been enjoying a mobile game and they have an online battle mode that pits your team against another player's team (albeit the team is AI controlled), but that has nothing to do with the suggestion. I'm mostly giving you the useless background of where this idea came from.

    Ok, here is the idea. Every one or two weeks, a "PvP Season" season begins and lasts for a week to 10 days. Any honor points made during said season place you on a temporary leader board specific to that season. Additionally, mentor bonuses and Premium bonuses are not counted for this to put everyone on even footing. At the conclusion of the season, there are rewards based on where you fall on the leader board. There are special rewards for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, but also rewards for the top 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. For example, there could be rewards of mysterious cubes, extraordinary/legendary items, currency, bonus honor, gems, ect. The rewards could change from season to season, and this could make PvP rewarding for more than just getting honor for the sake of the PvP fame tree. Think about players who spend 90% of their time in PvP and thus miss out on all sorts of farming or think about all the people who don't PvP because they are too busy farming. This is just the sort of thing that would be great to promote PvP and revive match types that are dying out like 3v3 and 6v6.

    Good idea. Just the idea of a seasonal pvp leaderboard being the main leaderboard would be an improvement.

    also buy other stuff for honor like melt points, lets say 25k honor points at level 30 gives 5k melts, 45 50k honor points gives 7k

    So the end game lvl PvP dominators, we all know who they are, get more free stuff and their secondary twink toons ruining low level PvP for every new player get the free stuff too? Suuuuuuuure, we'll all support that nonsense won't we.
    Bad idea all around. Purge the twinks, force them to level up and maybe in a year when low level pvp is close to balance then maybe. Toss that archaic Elo system that the dev team swears by and balance end game PvP then maybe. Stop chasing new players from the game and build up a bigger PvP base then maybe.
    But these things will never happen.

    Given that I said "Don't take mentor bonuses into consideration" and the fact that low level PvP matches are both harder to come by and offer less honor, I doubt any but the most dedicated twinks could end up in the top 1%-3%. Plus, I'm not saying the twink issue does't need addressing (just read my numerous posts about that topic any thread you chose), but this isn't as relevant to that problem as you make it sound.

    Second, you've been around long enough to know me and the things I recommend are generally geared towards making this game better. This actually helps F2Ps that are willing to work get a little more. Sure, the endgame PvP'ers will likely stay on top of these new leaderboards (BP does need to reward the people who pay the bills at least some), but I'm pretty sure that if I saw a reward that I liked enough, I'd be able to do enough PvP to get into the top 5% for a particular week. This isn't about chasing new players away from the game; it is about giving the veteren players something to do other than just earn more honor or farm more glyphs... What PvP needs is players playing and this idea is a way to do just that.

    Maybe, if you actually still cared about this game as opposed to just popping in from time to time to be negative, (You are 10/10 for that on your recent posts BTW, way to go! It takes real dedication to be that negative;)), you might see that something like this could do some real good and breath some life into the half dead realm of PvP.

    PvP no longer serves a purpose after LVL 40 fame is achieved or after the player farms enough honor to be able to take care of the next level cap extension on the PvP tree. It becomes a game of "who has more total honor than who" and that to me is without purpose, and any aspect of a game that has no purpose beyond existing for the sake of existing is doomed to die out. This, or something like this, provides PvP with meaning again and incentive to play.

    Because I am against giving rewards to players who are constantly given free honor due to the major unbalance the current Elo system thinks is fair makes my reply negative? Whatever.

    It's a good topic. I'm interested in how we can help the new players of DSO catch up. I personally believe you have a good idea here coupled with the opposite of what Mentor Bonus provides. Think opposite of Mentor Bonus in which a new player without an OP main is getting a bonus so long as their XP Level and Fame Level are +/- 1. I think that with your PVP Seasons challenge would entice folks.

    Its not an ELO system.

    An additional way this could benefit players and help reduce the effect of the stong getting stronger and the weak getting no attention would be to segregate the leaderboards into brackets based on PvP level. For example, group LVLs 1-15, 16-25, 26-30, 31-35, and 36-40. That way, lower ranking people could stand an even better chance at getting good stuff because they would be measured against people their own strength.

    Well whatever "system" they are using does not work fairly. PvP Fame brackets are a solution and I am all for game rewards for whatever achievements, whether PvP or PvE. But knowing that Fame Brackets could really help with balancing and actually going through with it from DSO development, well that's something I don't see them doing anytime soon. And it has been suggested so many times over the last couple years and still not even an acknowledgement from the producer or dev team that the idea is actually better than the current 5 lvl difference between players regardless of fame level they may or may not have.
    Balance the game and the thread is a great idea.

    would be good if you was given a option to join, with a cost of say 100 ander
    that ways its not free

    i do think these should be based on fame ranking system rather than just jumping in to eney duel
    PVP Ladder systems would be better if you could select your duel from a list
