Diablo 3 Awards Update

As I mentioned in the comments section of my last report, I've completed several timed runs in Diablo 3 to level the CF award rate so that it matches the baseline for the club (which is centered around JA duels). Moving forward the following CF values will be awarded per Elite:

  • Normal/Hard: 0.10 CF per elite
  • Expert/Master: 0.15 CF per elite
  • Torment: 0.2 CF per elite

Wiki and Gaming Portal values are currently up to date based on these values.

These values were taken by performing three timed runs, each run had a sample size of greater than 50 elites killed during it. Group sizes from 2-4 with different gear levels were considered throughout these runs. Based on the time it took to perform these runs CF values were determined by comparing this to the JA match standard.

I'll be re-running these Tests once the expansion hits, and probably breaking Torment out for a different award for Torment 1-3 and 4-6.

Pendants of Blood are still planned to be awarded for first 60 and then periodically based on Paragon levels after that. That system is not yet live, but will be before the Expansion launchs.

Thanks for the update Val.

Are we messing around with the weekly caps at all? Seems like by bringing it in line, we wouldn't need to worry so much about having to artificially limit the amount of CFs people can earn, as much as just let time limit the amount people can pull down naturally.

I'd like to see how everything goes with the new values in place, and how the Expansion affects them. Removing the weekly caps in the future is a possibility though.

I thought the suggestion was to lower the weekly cap, not remove it completely.

In the last post I responded to that suggestion. Lowering the weekly cap instead of reducing CFs earned would still allow CFs to be accumulated at previously insane rates.

With new lower CF values being earned, in the future, we may be able to look at removing the weekly cap because the values are now in line with other gaming platforms.

This is terrible! What do you mean I can't earn 210 CFs in less than a day anymore? An outrage, I tell you!

Also, my god, this makes much more sense.
