Need suggestions for Perks. by Posighdun March 17, 2017 at 2:03 AM UTC

I know for a while now, every now and then one of these threads pops up, people make suggestions and then nothing happens. PieZ and myself could just look at the other threads but most of them are outdated and we don't want to add perks no one wants.

Essentially I would just like some suggestions for perks. These perks would not only have to abide by EULA but also would have to encourage non donors to donate and current donators to upgrade.

Suggest away!

 If you donate maybe you get like a special arrow trail colour?

Posighdun March 17, 2017 at 2:03 AM UTC

Some ideas I came up with;
- Earn XP faster.
- Higher chance of winning crates.
- Premium Lobby.
- Donator only subform.
- Higher credit rewards @ end of match.
- Claimable credit packs.
- Claimable XP packs.
- Beta testing.
- Buy crates with credits.
- Discount in cosmetic shop.
- Access to exclusive gadgets/cosemetics.
- Better chance of unlocking cosmetics.
- Donators can only create teams.

Donators can only create teams.

A couple things:

- Earn XP faster: Violates EULA
- Higher chance of winning crates: Already a thing;
- Premium Lobby: meh
- Donator only subform: meh
- Higher credit rewards @ end of match: Already a thing
- Claimable credit packs: meh
- Claimable XP packs: Violates EULA
- Beta testing: idea is to get as many players testing as possible, bad idea
- Buy crates with credits: meh
- Discount in cosmetic shop: Already a thing
- Access to exclusive gadgets/cosemetics: Already a thing

- Donators can only create teams: Violates EULA

This is actually a great idea. I'd love having a bunch of different firework trail colors for my arrows. :^)

Lol dev revs
a good perk is giving donators a special trail when they donate.

I'd love to see something like this.

Or even if it's added to the general things you can buy with credits

Acceqted March 17, 2017 at 4:03 AM UTC

If a nebula shop reappers,

access to different items.

TooSweetSki March 17, 2017 at 4:03 AM UTC

access to different items.
That will violate the EULA

That's a really awesome and unique idea! Love it!

Posighdun March 17, 2017 at 4:03 AM UTC

Depends what items are being sold.

TooSweetSki March 17, 2017 at 4:03 AM UTC

Depends what items are being sold.
If the items are purely cosmetic, it's fine. If it's ANYTHING other than cosmetic then it's not.

lgmatias March 17, 2017 at 4:03 AM UTC

open up match betting dog

Xuph March 17, 2017 at 5:03 AM UTC

i dont know what tHE matias has meant but it gave me an idea if he did not mean that already

u could do that ONLY BEFORE A MATCH STARTS, and on a public server not on a scrim you could gamble a certain amount of credits. the plugin roughly calculates the chance of a team to win by counting the number of donators in it and diamond is higher than gold and will result in higher % in the calculation. then, before the match starts i can /gamble red 1000 which will gamble 1000 credits on team red winning or being the winner till the time limit. if team red has no donors and team blue have some, say the odd is 10% for red and 90% for blue i will get 9000 credits if red wins, and no credits if blue cause i did not bet on them.

How? As far as I've heard XP doesn't change the gameplay if you get to a higher level. Maybe I'm wrong but how would this violate EULA? It's like giving donators a multiplayer.

Without going into much detail, the plan is in the future to allow users to use XP for something. We are keeping this currency equal for all users from the beginning to allow this to be possible. You can already buy multipliers for credits.

Goodnighht March 17, 2017 at 5:03 AM UTC

Ideas: (These aren't necessarily for ranks, but just ideas to add.)
-Custom inventory. I'm not sure how easy this is to develop, but if you could set a spawn inventory for each map that would be amazing.
-(For Walls whenever it gets added) /surface was super helpful before and was honestly the reason I donated. It would be amazing to have that back, and because you can't give it to donators just give it to everyone.
-An in-game shop. I know this has been discussed, but a shop would make playing more fun. Maybe base it off kills for that game? So that you can keep credits and multipliers for donators.
-This might seem a little "gross" to a lot of people but I think that adding a preview of badges or particles for donators only would get people to donate. ;p
-Maybe cosmetics as a spectator in games? Just make sure players can't see it. xd

XP does not give an ingame advantage (high level people still have the same opportunity to be as good as lower lower level people) I thought the EULA was only against using irl money to improve your chances ingame (such as getting better gear to be better at pvp)?

After doing some research, and talking to an attorney friend, this is not possible.

You see, this network operates under the governing law of the state of Minnesota (US) which has some strict gambling/betting laws. These laws state that any wagering of properties that can be earned using hard currency may not be used to wager on any skill-based games/events. The issue with credits is that while they are pseudo-soft currency, real money can be spent to aid in the earning of them, which would put them in the real of a hard currency. With this is mind, we cannot (without abusing some shady loopholes and putting the server in potential legal risk) offer the possibility of wagering any form of property on any of our events/matches.

Sorry.

Have another sale for a while, maybe 50% off for a month.

Server is hosted near Montreal, Quebec, Canada. But the owner keenanjt lives in the state of Minnesota where he has the server registered as a business so all state laws apply to the network.

Why not? I don't see a problem as long as the server only allows them to speak in team chat/not at all.

How about if a certain rank you can spawn in with an extra gapple or on Maps with limited arrows gain an extra 32 or something?

Hang on, what if they're stuck to just spectating a player via spectator mode and nothing else? Then they'd be able to spectate but only see what the players can see.... Idk, just a suggestion...

Give a tekila to donators

Crimson_Aught March 18, 2017 at 2:03 PM UTC

Im ready to donate ;-)

@OP
Maybe add super jump or fly for donators in lobby.

Skquid March 18, 2017 at 4:03 PM UTC

If the items are purely cosmetic, it's fine. If it's ANYTHING other than cosmetic then it's not.
Well, can you bring the shop back for everyone? I miss the spanky spade.... But yeah, donors should have access to exclusive COSMETIC items

xNemoII March 18, 2017 at 5:03 PM UTC

able to fly in the lobby

kon333 March 18, 2017 at 8:03 PM UTC

able to fly in the lobby
Then the parkour will be easy....

profbananaslug March 18, 2017 at 8:03 PM UTC

Then the parkour will be easy....
not like there's any reward for doing it
if you fly up to the top you are just robbing yourself of the fun you'll have jumping to get up there and then sense of accomplishment or whatever
