I think to get more interested in more kills>>>Each Global have a number(other than top 100) that gives an extra chest, maybe 2 chests.....for example players between 10k and 10.2k kills get a chest. this could be refined as it`s just an example.

I like the idea of giving a chest to players that achieve XX,XXX amount of kills... i think this number has to be achievable by players with low max stamina and little access to global booster as players with little to no disposable income  should get something for maximum effort.

 

I believe the number of kills should be set by the Cows as they set the event time limit they will place so they would know how much stamina can be gained during the event and what effort would have to be placed by avg players in FS.  I like a number closer to 20K then 10K.

Yeah, something like this:

20.000+ kills = 1 Extra Chest.
Top 100 = 2 Extra Chests. (Not counting the extra one for 20K+ kills)

Here's just an idea.

 

Remove Top 100 and replace with this.

 

As Global Event, all players that qualified will get the prize as mentioned.

 

For additional personal reward,

at 15,000 kills get 1 potion;

at 25,000 kills get 1 potion;

at 50,000 kills get 1 potion;

at 75,000 kills get 1 potion;

at 100,000 kills get 1 potion;

at 125,000 kills get 1 potion;
and so on
 
This will encourage people to go for the kills.

This will encourage people to go for the kills.

 

 

Whilst it would encourage big-stam players to do more (I suspect), it would also widen the gap even further between lower levels and higher levels and thus reduce the incentive even further for new players to stick around (content releases permitting, of course).

 

That said, the current GE system just rewards those participants (above the qualifying amount, I mean) with big stamina banks or those willing to buy copious amounts of current stam.

 

Whilst some see this as a "reward" for upgrading a character, I see this more as I "why should I bother doing more?" for the lower level / lower stam bank players.


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

These 'events' work great, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it. The new frag drops are pretty cool for those that compose.

How about top 100 get 2 and anyone doing over 25k get an extra 1 (or 5x the required)


That's a nice, simple idea. I like that one. I'll take this kinda idea to Hoofmaster. See what he thinks.

And Ruby has been achieved! Nice work everyone!

yeap,  there should be a mootivation for average stamina banks to go further more than just 5.000   kills  :)
perhaps that extra box should be ruby as well,  despite what community achives..

Perhaps, though I'd be more inclined to start at Community Achievement first and if it does not help as much as we'd hope, then look to baseline Ruby. We'll see.

well it's up to u.   for what it's worth,
all i want to point is that average stamina banks, that have not a chance to reach top100,
should be mootivated somehow to kill more than just 5.000 so that they can
help the comunity and themselves as well.
but being a ruby box, will make everyone go after it,  but it's what the comunity will achive,
then there will be still ppl who will wait to see how the comunity does and decide afterwards
if they'll do the 25.000 point kill

No, no. We'll look to implement that and the "No Frag Log Messages" for the next Global.

Also Grim, could you list the latest top 100 contributors of of this event, in stead of the first event?

In other words, reverse the order of the events on the Top 100 Global Quest Contributors page.

 

Cheers :)

What about rewarding as a ratio of the amount of stamina? So someone who got 1000 kills, but has a max of 500 stamina (x2) gets a bonus, but someone with 1000 kills and 1000 stamina? With the bonus scaling somehow. ie rewarding when kill:stamina ratio > x, where x > 1.

Preposterous. You can't reward someone more for having an un-upgraded character. It completely devalues the whole idea of upgrading ones character.
