I would like to get in top 1-2% or rank 1-30 how many points would I need? I’m at 400k points right now but I can refresh my top bots. I’m in the UK by the way:)

Since they cut the payout I'm no longer pushing for that. Not worth the time commitment for 750 shards.
First off, you'd have to be insane to assume the pbc will give you enough 3* to make up for it. Secondly, you got pbc and 3* shards under the old system. The bump in those doesn't come close to compensating for the lost 4* shards.
And finally, is it just me or did the old top 10 (x3 = new top 30) originally get 1,000 4* shards, not 1,500 like now. So the new milestone system cuts the payout to everyone past rank 30, but BOOSTS the payout to those top 30?
There wasn't any shards because there wasn't any milestones. I wasn't here for the system before that, but now we have shards in the milestones, we can get at least two 3* crystals and I pull plenty of 3* from pbc shards, so I think it's almost a guarantee you'll end up with 300 4* shards. In addition to the rank rewards it isn't so bad
Though, 1% - 2% now gives you 750 4 star shards. In the arenas just before this, you’d get 900 4 star shards for 1% - 2%.
I believe you only get 100 4 star shards from opening a 3 star bot. If you place in the 1% - 2% rank, you get 750 4 star shards + 100 from opening the 3 star you get from completing all the milestones. That’s still 50 4 star shards from the previous crystal arenas. I can see not awarding 5 star shards yet, but the 4 star shards rewards are disappointing.
I’ve opened 15 PBC recently and only got 2 star bots. That’s only 1500 3 star shards — not enough for a whole crystal.
Things were promising after seeing the milestones and rank rewards for the basic bounty. Though it seems like every arena update, Kabam takes away from the crystal bounty. At least I’m still holding out hope for the alpha bounty that’s coming up.
you get a 3* from milestones and placement dont you? So that's a guaranteed 200 4* shards, then if you get a 3* from the pbc, which I know isn't guaranteed, you get more. I dunno, it seems fine to me.
Remember that u can get 3* from forging 2*. So u can possibly still get 1 full 3* from 15 PBC.
Good point. I completely overlooked the 3 star crystal you got from rank rewards.
I’m assuming alpha rewards today will hit the same numbers...
It has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with global arenas or regional arenas. The math doesn't change, more players in the pool expand the number that can qualify in each bracket. 2% of 3000 players is 60, 2% of 9000 is 180, it works out the same.
Player participation is what changed.
More players going for full milestone rewards instantly raised the bar. If the arenas were region specific, you'd still be complaining that the same points you used to get aren't getting you into the same rank reward bracket.
Welcome to the new normal.
2.1M got me 117th place, in the top 1-2%
Last crystal bounty for me was 1.770 mil, took me to 3-5%, placed 241 and landed me 500 T4 shards. Not worth the time invested tbh. Literally played my bots on CD up until the reset, at work (which ofcourse is the dumbest thing i can do), whereas before this same amound would land me 950 shards with 1-2%.
I think i'll just drop bounties altogether, way too much time for too little in return, at least with the current participation. And don't tell me the milestone rewards are easy reachable, 1.5 mil for full amount is no easy feat, unless you spend money on energon like it's christmas and just spam recharge your bots, or you have a full rooster of 4 star bots and play almost continuously to reach them until the reset hits.
Actually, you're right, to get ranked in the 150s, my score was a lot higher than it used to be before. I should drink coffee before posting cuz I don't know what I'm talking about.
