Discussions During Gameplay

[ScrumpyJack]

There was a good discussion tonight about the lack of enjoyment being foreseen because players do not have enough gold to upgrade their tanks or to use their tactical weapons.

Now of course it is not in the interest of Splitscreen Studios to give away too many freebies but the consensus of opinion is that you do really need to use gold to "Enjoy" this game.

You don't need a lot of it, just enough to buy the ammo for your lovely Tactical weapon or to upgrade to the next prototype as these are goals that players want to achieve. Yet they are already disheartened that it's gold, gold GOLD.

Some ideas thrown around tonight for obtaining gold were:

1. Everytime a player attains a new level.
2. When a PVP mission is won; maybe rewarding the winners with the amount of gold as there were opponents.
3. When a player advances to the next map the gold dropped by Marauders increases by 1 each time.

The other point of discussion was neon ammo, currently the drop rate is too low. If players were rewarded with gold to buy 7 credits worth of ammo then maybe the drop rate is ok.

The main feeling is that SteelLegions has the potential to be a really good gaming environment but is currently too gold orientated. With a few tweaks like these people would get into the habit of using gold and when they run low would consider "buying" some until their next set of missions or level was complted.

Thoughts?

I agree with you fully Srcumpty.
We were also talking about the prototypes, maybe some of them should be available for Construction parts AND gold as well? But some of them should only be obtained via gold, like the 8% ones. Anyway, this is how much each prototype should cost in my opinion:

1% prototypes = 2500 CP
2% prototypes = 5000 CP
4% prototypes = 10000 CP
6% prototypes = 20000 CP

The alloys should also be obtainable via CP and gold:

1% alloys = 1500 CP
2% alloys = 3000 CP
4% alloys = 6000 CP
6% alloys = [[Gold only]]

The top prototypes and alloys should stay gold only,the gold buyer wouldn't want people to save up CP and buy them would they now?

Anyway people, what do you think?

i m agree olso

and i can add somthing more

1% prototypes = 5000 CP or gold 25
2% prototypes = 10000 CP or gold 150
4% prototypes = 20000 CP or gold 350
6% prototypes = 40000 CP or gold 790 [Gold or CP]
8% prototypes = [Gold Only]

1% alloys = 3000 CP or gold 50
2% alloys = 6000 CP or gold 250
4% alloys = 8000 CP or gold 450 [Gold or CP]
6% alloys = [Gold Only]

if the lasy one's who don't want to find CP they can buy it with gold...

1 more think .. crew member's die very fast when fight alone .. can crew member to count only at mision's ? them don't help when we fight against marauder for CP . and if they help.. they die so fast !!!

1)Agree with Scrumpy about Coins reward for any new level, but not for PvP.



2) Prototype (and only that) can be available to all players, not only by Coins, but by Construction Parts too.

(Though I think quantities suggested by Tyrannus are too low.)




Those are 2 good ideas and ll be a good add on for the game




Regards


Good night

you can get gold for free already, click on get gold and then on get gold for free or something, they you can do stuff for certain 3th party's and you get gold, however, I don't trust them.

 

[ScrumpyJack]

That's true m8, but it's not about going to the Sponsor Pay part of the shop to get gold.

We must remember that youngsters will want to play this and they won't be able to use the Sponsor Pay stuff.. I know if I had kids I would want them doing that. We are trying to put forward some IN GAME ideas that can get those less fortunate then us a good slice of the real action and not just left on the sidelines.

Now these are only suggestions and suggested values, I have no idea what the final values should be but I can guarantee whatever they are people will still moan hahaha.

So again, the idea is to come up with some ways that players can earn gold so that they can participate in the game more and have more fun if they are not in a position to buy some gold.

Cheers

yeah, i know, btw, I also hate tactical weapon as you can only use it when you pay,

I think they should give us a lot more oil from marauders, or atleast other ways to get it,

maybe trading?

you get ore from some mine and bring it to another where you can get oil from,
