    PSL Lab First Edition - General Thread

    in Unofficial Events Archive

    Posted

    I get JJ's initial reaction. But it's a team event making it distinct from the larger community PSL, self-funded.
    Using the name PSL is just useful as a shortcut to everyone understanding what kind of event it is (no matter what kind of language they speak) thereby understanding the rules etc.
    Credit was given for the walls of text, got no problem with it.  

    Short-term Solution to 64-man Tournament Rewards

    in Suggestion Box

    Posted · Edited by Draekyn

    While you've made efforts when it comes to tournament rewards I don't think we're quite there yet. The shinies are underwhelming in an overflowing market where even the highest-value shinies are worth 1/10th-1/100th of most limited vanities, you're still intent on providing non-shiny rewards to official tournaments for reasons I can understand.
    Although K9's suggestion is what I'd really like to see (see link below), and this doesn't replace an actual long-term solution, here's what I'm suggesting:

    A distinct & recognizable particle effect added to any tournament reward pokemon that would serve as additional bragging rights and that might incentivize winners to actually try & fit those pokemon into their teams.
    Bragging rights are what most people play tournaments for anyway, prizes are often just a bonus ranging from somewhat helpful to completely irrelevant. 
    While waiting for an actual solution, might aswell double down on those bragging rights.

    On topic, if you're out of ideas, older MMO staff had plenty of great ones some of which have already been mentionned, recycle those if necessary
    If you're short on staff willing to host non-automated events, hire more, broaden your recruitment parameters even if specifically for that purpose, it's worth it

    I do also recognize having custom rulesets have become less implementable because the average playerbase of PokeMMO doesn't speak just English anymore. But these events could be hosted to all kinds of language groups in the game. Even just a couple of custom ruleset tournaments per month would keep this game far more interesting than it is now, in my opinion. 

    To that point, I'd argue that (chinese aside) the game population is broadly the same. Some used to learn English through the game sometimes solely for the purposes of participating in forums discussions & those kinds of events.
    The game itself adapting to its various language groups is a net positive, but that + automated copy-pasted simple tournaments + a growing population has made the community feel a bit more fragmented.
    There are obvious solutions to that issue though, either as Orange suggests here take the time and effort needed to translate those rulesets (you do have a Chinese counterpart to these forums so it's not outside the realm of possibility) or as I'm seeing in the Doubles UU discord server, language representatives will step up and do it themselves if allowed.
