I don't know if this has been done already, but what I think would be cool to add on to special offers is reserve stamina.

 

(the 20% x 25 stam per fsp upgrade is what I think would be fair.)

 

$5 - 25 fsp + 5fsp(bonus) + 125 reserve stamina

$10 - 52fsp + 10fsp(bonus) + 250 reserve stamina

$60 - 400fsp + 80fsp(bonus) + 2000 reserve stamina

 

Having the reserve stamina instead of epic potions/chests is becauase then you can use this for events. Lets say, we have a global event, and you just hunted. Well, because you spent $120 on the last special offer, you have 4000 reserve stamina. Its not made to be used for every special offer either. Every third one, every other one. Something of that nature.

With the extras we already get I don't see the need of reserve stam. Just my thoughts.

If i buy the $60 offer i get an epic chest that sells for more FSP then it would cost to buy 2000 stamina.

Probably already been shot down since the idea isnt crazy, but never seen it before.

 

Sure, take away the chest rewards and add this instead ...

 

'cos I'm sure you're not meaning in ADDITION to the extra fsp's and the bonus loyalty points and the epic chests - 'cos that would just be being greedy ;)


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 ...

That's what I'm saying. Instead of the chests. To  be used on global events, or just spare stamina on a hunt. I would think it would help guarantee the price in chests won't drop either.

It could be interesting, but as has been pointed out by Justinian9, the value of most chests (assuming 150 fsp - some go for more) will buy you FAR more current stamina than your suggestion (almost double in fact).

 

To that end, I think it's a non-flyer

I see what you mean. I didn't even think about that, but they could readjust the stamina amounts for the $60 purchase. And the thing is, it also helps the people who don't drop $60 every time. That way even buying $20, they still get a bonus on top of the 20% fsp.

And why shouldn't they get a bonus on top of their 20% bonus?!

 

I swear, HCS are such tightwads!

 

 

(Joking, obviously)

( if you dont own a debt / Credit card ) truly do not like giving Info like that online.. and UGC/s made it simple and easy to buy.. !!? will there be a new way to buy some points or am i stuck between a rock and a hard place here?

Maybe try those pre-paid Visa cards you can get at Wal-Mart and whatnot. You give them money at the physical store, and they give you a card that is basically a debit card loaded with the money you pre-paid, except that you don't need a bank account. So for safety's sake, if you want, you can put only enough cash on it to cover your intended FSP purchase.

Would make use to the reserve stamina link next o your current stamina on the top bar..

I really like this idea and know it would bring in more donations for the game which can't be a bad thing!!

..pffft all these 'greed' claims.. Excellent debating skills with the moral ethic attack but let's get back to making this game better

How is the cows giving more and more stuff "free", "better" for the game ? - Change the epic pot to an amount of reserve stam for a trial, by all means, and let the cows run the numbers to see which gets them more income. I'd go out on a limb and say it'll be from the epic pots..

That's an easy limb to go out on..

Why aren't more donations better for the game?

More donations ARE better for the game - of course they are ..

 

and I think that they'd get more donations from giving the epic pots as part of their special offers than they would from giving reserve stamina.

 

Asking for reserve stamina IN ADDITION to the 20% bonus fsp's AND the loyalty tokens AND the epic pot is just being greedy.

 

Ultimately, the more the cows give away "free" with these offers, the more players will want ...

Okay, lol. This will be my last post on here. For the $60 purchasers, they could get 6000 reserve stamina instead of the epic potion. They still get the 20% and the loyalty tokens, but no pot. The people who don't spend $60 in one purchase, get 20% of their purchase as reserve stamina (so 5$ = 30fsp + 250 stamina) so that way, even the people who don't drop 60 at a time get something. It will also make the potions more of a rarity, and should bring up the prices, and keep them from having to make them better, and better, and better every time.

Easy way to do this would be to have a new container and, in that, there'd be the existing pots AND a choice of "X" amount of reserve stamina.

 

That way everyone could chose their preference :)

You can still use any number of prepaid debit cards, such as The GreenDot card, or Rush card.  Personally, I have always used PayPal, but you have to have an external account of some kind to fund it.


Just one old lady's opinion

To be honest anything adding value to what our money gets us somehow being bashed strikes me as marginally nutty.... actually totally weird. To be blunt bumping up the amount of FSP given for donations wouldn't be outlandishly bad either. This coming from someone who has repeatedly donated $60 US for 400 on a regular basis.

 

Just the simple concept that if I get more value for what my pay put into the game gets me, I'm going to be far more willing to do so as I see a tangible increase in value that I get out of each donation I make. I know for a fact of several players in my guild alone who would donate and those who do would donate far more often if their money went further in this game.

 

Mind I'd be open to a subscribers feature like Eldevin too if it meant HCS would start doing banner ad advertising again and maybe get a few upgraded servers for the game. If HCS keeps adding value to what I get from supporting them I'll gladly continue to support them as I have been out of customer loyalty on that basis.
