Timed challenges should really be balance. I mean how would a mid-level free2player such as me compete against some dude that have fed 500 Million of food for his firesaurs?
That's why timed challenge should be separated by either Monster Powers or Player Level.. I understand there's no way to fix those premium players to compete with free2players but separating players by levels or MP is enough to at least increase your position in the rankings don't you think? Really, The last rune lords, I saw @Haka-Taka at 3rd place, Im pretty sure he is high level with max islands and many runes so why am i facing him at rune lords?

Timed Challenges Balance
Post count: 3260Reputation: 1318Joined:Hi TheSwedishHippo
Sorry if i went crazy last event and tried for higher Rank but guess what ? i am totally free2play just like you but propably i played for longer timeI understand your point but the game mix cash and players in same event so this can work as a goal for every one to improve his game and try to compete ... it took me months\ years just to shift from gold reward to gems reward in Gold fever for example but this guided for for always improving my gold production
IF we have many separations i fear that the motive to improve will not be there beside the game already separate players under level 28 with different events till they reach 28 and join the bigger one
So Where do you think Sp should draw the line ? and how many groups are ideals to separate players into ?19 May 2013 - 4 October 2018

I would like it better if "timed challenges" were replaced with global or team leaderboards in the dungeons each week, so we can see who has performed best.
At the moment, I can only get the 20 gems from Gold Rush - the other timed challenges I have no hope of doing anything. And who thought it was a good idea to make someone get 3500 Rune points just to earn 1m gold reward? That doesn't even make sense.

Post count: 4481Reputation: 1650Joined:@TheSwedishHippo Don't Really agree with you on that one, the challenges are already balanced so every group of level's can reach the 3rd node. Players like Haka Taka (f2p) have reached this by playing for a long time If your not that level then you can't compete either because your not a longtime player or your don't invest (and thats alright) only way I can see that work if you got also lower rewards too, otherwise it would be completely unfair against longtime players and p2p

Post count: 0Reputation: -6Joined:Timed challenges already are balanced that lower players don't have to do as much as a higher level player. For instance on the gold challenge at my level I have to collect 180M gold. A lower level player doesn't have to collect that. The same goes for the other challenges. It is hard enough for me to collect that amount of Gold just like it is for the feeding event or any other. You have to feed a lot of food to get the high spots in the feeding challenge.

are you working on your gold production ? If so then you must have seen your self improve , even if you not in top 5000 , you should see your rank go higher and higher each time till you enter top 5000 then 500 and so
This is one of the long-time goals in game and keep you motivated to improveSame goes for feeding , you can turn your gold into food and wait for feeding event to spend them sadly we don't get growing food event anymore but you should keep growing food on fixed rate
As for rune lord any player even free should get at least 3x3296 =9888 point each event by preparing a level rune x in advance and collectit when event start , then craft 2 extra during rune event ,,, if you finish the rune lord and with 3rd node reward you will pass the 10k point easily think enough for top 5000 this is without spending any resources into this
Just put some effort , No pain No Gain

Post count: 108Reputation: 24Joined:@TheSwedishHippo It's about playing smarter... and of course people who have been playing longer would have the potential advantage due to accumulating more gold, food, monsters, strategy, experience etc.
If you have this mindset you will likely give up. Like @Haka-Taka says, it's about working on your game bit by bit, if that means recording how you go to see your progress then do that. That's what I do and I have seen improvements.
In the end it's a game, and if you want to do well, you do need to put in a little effort otherwise the rewards would be too easy and lose their value.
Personally, I know which timed challenges I can do well in, e.g. Gold Fever (I've gone from 15,557 in September to 3,592 end of December), Rune Lords (with the tip Haka Taka mentioned)
The others: Growth Spurt depends on the timing, and I can take it or leave it (prioritising saving gold for the next 72 hour challenge), and Love Season (if it ties in with a breeding event I can get 25 - 50g)

Post count: 365Reputation: 107Joined:@TheSwedishHippo Cmon now, do you really expect a low-level player to be churning out Black Lotus Roots as much as a level 100+? Effort really doesnt count so much when all you can put out are Blue Lizard Tails, lol. Just dont mind your ranking and just fill your "quota" for now

Post count: 4481Reputation: 1650Joined:@TheSwedishHippo why should someone that spends less time and or money in to a game get the same as someone who does. We already have that its called 72 hour challenge. Already this challenge is an incentive not to level.
