PvP Diamond League - Is there any advantage?

Gameplay Chat (PC/Mobile)

I have stayed in the Diamond league since PvP was refreshed and always make sure to stay each week. This week however, and it is only Thursday, the top 8 are already on 100,000+ (#1 on 223,000).
I am at 17th place on 36,000. I can’t remember ever seeing a board like this.

So, considering the mountain to climb just to stay in Diamond, is there in fact any advantage in staying here or should I allow to drop down for an easier life ?
I probably won’t need to play so much pvp when I’m not trying to maintain the status quo !

The only real benefit in reaching Diamond is to get the Seasonal challenge for the Immortal Souls or to get a top 3 spot for the week for Gold Marks.

The only benefit in staying in Diamond and not placing in the top 3 and not relegating is “maybe next week will be easier to get top 3 in Diamond” or “I don’t want to deal with PvP and I’ll stay in Diamond to be ready for the next season.”

Usually, Ruby League is semi-easy to place top 3 to get Gold Marks, but its also a lower amount of Gold Marks than Diamond League.

The biggest loss of relegating to Ruby League is not doing enough PvP to get the weekly PvP rewards. If you ever get a weird week where you can get relegated to Ruby and complete all PvP rewards, it might be worth it.

As the above poster said, only benefit of being in diamond is the seasonal goal (once off) and if you play enough to be top 3.

Literally since the first season I’ve bounced one week Diamond one week Ruby.

I’ve also never not once been able to finish all my weekly goals (ie 6500vp) in Diamond League while being relegated.

You can “easily” win Ruby League usually with about 25k vp. Sometimes less Sometimes more(usually first 2 weeks of a season people try hard)

This means I’m almost guaranteed gold marks every other week vs Diamond League which is almost always 100k vp+ just to place.

And I don’t care for grinding so hard.

Every 2nd week is chill :laughing:

I try to get down to Ruby every other week. My Diamond ladder always sucks (100k+). I never get the ladder that my guildmates get where 25k gets 3rd place. This ladder system for rewards is one of the least thought-out, most unfair that these bozos have come up with.

Many thanks for your answers. I always do my 6500 points (weekly) on Monday and I am not too stressed about the seasonal immortal souls.

I like the idea of bobbing up and down, as Ruby seems to look quite different, and to quote Supa-N00b " …I don’t care for grinding so hard" :laughing:

I’ve played every day since 2014 and my heavy grinding days are well behind me :sweat_smile: so I am pleased to hear that I don’t need to :partying_face:

Thanks again !
