Tournament Prizes

[guitarwiz1]

Not sure if this is a bug or a bad case of RNG, but 18 out of the last 20 tournament prizes were helmets.

It doesn't matter which side of the map I'm on...I'll get another useless helmet. I won some bear skin shoulders and a horse. Had a chance to win a sword but I failed that one.

Everywhere I go...it's helmet, helmet,helmet.

What kind of prizes has everyone else been getting?
I'm about ready to throw in the towel and just buy my equipment.

Horse, Chest armor, swords, a good spear, ah yes helmets good money.

well i only do Tournament when its start of the game to get Tier 3 gear so i dont need to waste too much gold. but i try to go after the gear set Helmet, Shoulders and chest piece if i'm lucky a good horse armor. and sell the rest for more gold.

in regards to tournaments i actually forged a 2 handed sword and it ended up being the tournament prize in another city about a week later. since the tournament update i have been coming across basicly everything except body armor but thats probably gonna be rarer due to the cost ranges of the prizes. good armor is expensive and for some reason they put a cap on how expensive a tournament prize can be.

Roughly 90% helmets here too.

Would be nice to see more reliable variability in the prizes.

Maybe we could also get 'national' events that are harder but with better prizes.

i kinda miss mbw tournament where there was a feast and you get relation with the town and you can talk to the king or find a lady in waiting.

I used to think the tournament prizes were just fine, but then I only got the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kettle hat or spatha in every imperial town. Really wish they were more diverse or you got at least a bit of a cash reward.

I think some of it is because they have more helmet 'variety' at this point in the game than other armour types, especially in the mid-tier. You see the same thing in towns as well where you will find a dozen-plus helmets on offer and then some crappy gambisons. I think it's just a matter of the art team playing catchup with themselves right now. If the Tournaments are drawing from a list of 100 items, and 80 of them are helmets, well it makes sense you'll see a lot of helmets as rewards.

For whatever reason, they decided to prioritize helmets first. Probably because they are easier to make variations of a single theme. Nasal helmet with padding, nasal helmet with mail coif, nasal helm with leather. Repeat with kettle hat and so on. All pretty minor variations that you can bang out in a 3d rendering program pretty quick. Body armour is probably a lot more challenging simply because you have to animate it, size it to fit different units, and all sorts of other niggling little details that just make it take longer.

Hey I thought I was the only one getting nothing but helmets for tournament rewards.

We should all get together and make an army of naked screaming men wearing nothing but tournament prize helmets.

After posting this I started the game, joined a tournament and won a sweet axe.
The next two tournaments were helmets, so I didn't even bother.

when i started playing i remember winning a lot of nice weapon with a unique name but now just helmet. xD

You can actually get something else but helmets in tournaments? I thought you'd need to download a paid mod or something to get anything else.
