How many players are willing to pay gems for skill points?

[Vidia]

Skill points can be used for attack, defense, stamina and hero strength. It is very important and now it is fixed and can only be gained through mastering 5 grade maps and leveling.

I wonder how many people out there are willing to pay for extra skill points ? The upside is that players can increase skill points according to their budgets. The downside is that it would widen the existing gap between gem players and free players.

I bet Funzio is also very interested in knowing the answer to this question too.

Maybe they will do an event with this prize in mind.

Interesting question indeed :) dont know about gems, but have no doubts that virtually everyone would be willing to pay gold for skill points. What is a bit unclear, though is how actually beneficial these points are? Did anyone see quantification, or try to quantify, perhaps?

hero strength increases could quickly be beneficial in farming for better weapons/armor. 1 hitting monsters on the final map would be a significant thing.

I like the idea, but it would have to sufficiently costly to avoid everyone ramping up constantly, but not so costly as to make it out of reach for the majority. Maybe a box prize (the 10 gem type) as suggested.

I like to avoid games with godmode. Especially if you have to pay for it. Let's leave at least SOME strategy to this game and not just how big is your wallet.

[ShawnBB]

On the contrary, I would like to trade my attack skill points to get some gem...

[femaiden]

if they let the cash shop players buy skill points then it will break the game

[Hapl0]

Femaiden, that's why it should be an event, maybe like this one currently in MW trough PvE (a boss appear random and u have to kill him 50 times in two hours to achieve the prize).

[Hapl0]

Of course, whoever has a lot of hero points had the advantage here but the game should let win all styles of play.

Well, if you're reading this Funzio/Gree, I say no no no no no no no to this idea!

I just saw this thread and idea. I completely agree. Once they throw in the option of buying skill points with gems, it's going to get stupid and off-balanced. You'll have the people who spend a lot on a lot of gems, with 300 hero points of strength. Or 120 stamina. Etc.

No good on buying points with gems. Other games have already fallen down because of the implementation of this.

Rubbish, long term free players will get quite far by figuring out the patterns. Also any free 'gold' units from events for free players is amazing! So take as many as you can get. The percentage of gold players to free players is so small you are hanging your hat on a bizarre fear.

And why, you should be happy gold players exist to keep the game running.

My thoughts are indestructible units should be 'damageable' meaning if they die they stay locked out of stats for 7 days allowing free and other gold players to hammer gold players and try to switch off their units opening them up to being raided and their back up cash units exposed to being casualties!

Thats my idea and I'm a gold player.. I'd love to hit other goldies and even face the challenge of having mu most powerful units wounded and out of action, forcing me to play safer.

Go for gold wounding/damaging upgrade!

EDIT: oh skill points. Not really but a reset option I would (allowing you to reallocate all the ones you have like you can swap nations in MW)

Wow KOD, luv ur ideas.

[Kiss Of Death]

Wow KOD, luv ur ideas.Thanks! Apparently I'm full of them... Or as some player have hinted... Full of it 😜

Ok -- whose bright idea was it to suggest gems for skill points?

Anyone seen the top 250 item in this event?

Yes, but given last round with top 500 and top 50 and top 50 winners spending between 660-1100 AUD to win... thats an average of $990 or 9x1500 gold... thats 77 triple crates with change. or 231 Indestructible units... given max units of 1500 at 500 allies thats 15.4% of your units that can't die...

15% rare = 35, 25% uncommon = 58 and 60% common = 138 units that can't die.
So for that money in the event you get woo hoo 4 average uncommon units (sorry 1 might sc**** rare) units and do you get both or just the best one for top 25? even if you get both... (and with top 250/25 instead of 500/50 you can expect much more money being thrown at it by the usual spenders) and the only mollifying part is the two biggies boost you by 1600/1380... even just taking on 35 rares at over 100 A and D each you kick that. and with a full 15% of your army untouchable if your at 500 allies... and most arn't... who gives a rates about 20% off... I got that with my free Inferno Hydra 2 events ago.... +100 attack skill is nice but who can actually say how attack skill works... no one because Funzio don't tell you... it just sounds big....

Go the crates and be a winner, go the event and be a hopeful winner with lower stats than the person who now boosted their army by nearly 7000+ attack and defense on crates and is mostly untouchable anyway.

Love it!

And I agree with your math above. Which is why I didn't buy gems for this or the other event. I even made a separate thread about the chest units. :)
