Added Incentive for BP Events

[hurricane2014]

Bp events have been lacking lately and something needs to be done to get people to participate in them again. Nobody cares to try in them especially alliance bp events when the reward for champion league is MAYBE 1 platinum, that isnt worth peoples time. I think limited missions during bp events would help generate that extra interest. I DONT mean build uv limiteds but instead a new type, BP limiteds. So for example lets say mission 1 gain 500k attack points, Mission 2 gain 1 million attack points, etc. So it would function like the uranium/titanium reward missions for gaining attack points. Oh and PLEASE for the love of god we need new events and soon. The same 3 over and over is quite boring. Another thing Tadaaah can you maybe post some feedback on these threads to let us know they are being seen and taken into consideration? While I do realize that not all suggestions can be implemented I don't think it's asking to much that you at least acknowledge them and have some sort of presence on this forum. Thoughts?

I think it is a very good idea, so long as the BP requirements were somehow scaled (maybe by level). So, for a level 30, the requirements might start out very low (gain 100,000 AP), but for level 45 the requirements would be much higher (gain 1,000,000 AP to start). [And I say this as a level 45 player, with 1.3B BP]

Also, for this, and maybe more generally for all LTE's, it may be time to recalibrate prizes. Getting 3 batteries when I have 494 unusable ones in my inventory because Ive maxed out all my upgrades is useless. Likewise, getting a junior level commander just gives me 200 star points to use. As the worlds mature, it is time to recalibrate prizes so that people who's started later can catch up to those who have been there a while.

Couldn't agree more, and the crates need to be reworked for more mature worlds.

I wouldn't say that they are "boring" for some player, just the majority who have no chance of winning. The prizes for placing below the top 10 are simply not worth much effort for a player who has been in the game for a while. And the newer players certainly don't have any chance of placing at that level, their rewards are terrible.
A schedule for each monthly "cycle" would be a welcome addition, since we now have the end of month Global Domination event.
Allowing older players the option to move to a new world with a good portion of their inventory/CDRs/Boosts would certainly spice things up again. Allowing mobility between worlds would be really interesting.
Tadaaah does respond over in Modern Warfare much more than here. This forum is, unfortunately, not very active. Only a handful of player post here, and the bulk of it isn't very useful. Discussions tend to be a venue just to bash Gree, and it's relatively rare that someone comes up with something constructive or a good suggestion.
Hopefully he checks here and responds.
Cheers

i would suggest a double xp weekend where commanders earn twice the xp ... but its pointless suggesting anything

It does seem like we're talking into a wall here, doesn't it. Even an acknowledgment and explanation would be nice.

Hurricane,

I think this is a great idea. My only concern is players will obviously boost to complete LTMs which would defeat the purpose entirely as well as cause the typical boosting issues. However, if it worked, it would definitely make players more active during bp events. Also, there would be an incentive for GREE as well since more gold will be spent on ports to complete the later missions in the LTMs (which I am sure will have ridiculously high requirements).

maybe the bp event ltm will be ltm1 (earn 10000 bp defending your base) ltm2 (30000) and so on ... this will give an incentive to defend rather than run. not sure if this mechanic is exploitable. thoughts?

I think this idea has legs, but this type of reward system only encourages players to play within events which is good but, if it ran monthly/weekly, that then rewards players to play inside and outside events it could have a better effect in game.

We need to get away from events Gree needs to creat goals that add interest to all players targets and rewards that anyone can work towards no matter their level
I would like to see an end to events as they are, as they only reward the strongest players in a world.(I am sure the few are very happy)
I am sure the games getting boring for most players, I have nothing to work up to I have finished research unlocked 10 outposts (only the experimentals left to max lol...) now I just working on getting better commanders but that is pointless as the gold players have stuff I will never get, why am I playing?......
Why is anyone playing that's is outside a worlds top few alliances.


Only tiered events hold any interest for me as they give anyone a chance at a better reward but who am I kidding the rewards at best will never catch me up to the big players or get me a commander I would need to hold a npc 34/38.


So gree create some goals that are outside events that are geared for players levels. Alliance ones and player ones. One like this thread suggests, new research, new upgrades, new ways to make commanders , uses for items the game drops( batteries, cores, scrap metal, the junk we all get).
Maybe a new system for units upgrades so we can research specialisms for units, commander training so we can create our own custom commanders.

New content not just new events!

I agree their is no current incentive to defend, its better to get a pop cap in to clear a capture and just leave your bases empty.
These are the realities of the game I cannot defend against top players so its best to just run or call a pop cap in.

Result zero game play

Fix. ideas like above.

Next attacking. why would I do any outside an event, it just paints a target on me, all I get is BP that has no point only to drop rare resources which you don't need if your not attacking. I can level my commanders on npc bases no need to hit other players.

Fix stop npc base giving Xp to commanders over level 50 or less.
Make it the game gives more Xp from attacking and defending in normal battles, or create Xp events or give more out as rewards for normal game play.

There is absolutely no reason to defend when the attacker gets double the AP, no matter the outcome. If you're a free player against big coiners, just run and hide, it's the only way to survive now days. Especially in matured worlds

Sad but true.

I guess that's a NO

Of course it's a no. And if you write them on their Facebook page, they delete it.

anyone else remember when gree told us about world events they also said something about being able to steal BP from another player somehow???

I remember yes. Woulda been a good idea to stop feeding too if you could steal bp.
