Suggestion for silver

Post by Psilo »

I think we should make 1 silver = 1 point.

I think 1 silver being half a point is a bit disapointing and makes doing CTF's especially when you're losing annoying because people stop trying too quick because they remember "oh yea it's for HALF a silver". Personally I fight it out to the very end but when other players don't it's lame.

I don't think the scale fits, every other event and even invasion world events where you stand around hidden and AFK(yield 5 point trophys) with no effort.

I think CTF is a lot of fun and a player can turn the tides of battle, so let's try to make the prize at least decent.

1 point isn't asking for much! It's also less confusing than 1silver = 1 half. Doh :x

Thanks ^^

I think silver should be 10 points and team leaders get neon hued unique items. :D


Anyone remember how much silver was worth on OSI? :?

1 point is not asking for a lot guys, could you give me some reasons why it would or wouldn't be good?

This was before my time, but my understanding is getting silvers for CTF is a compromise. You used to get 1 point from CTF, then when i started you got nothing but a small sum of gold because the staff wanted to make trophy points harder to get. Now we get half a point for winning CTF. Lets be happy with that so we don't lose it all together again.

Making trophy points hard to get?

Lol.

Anyone with a bard and motivation can farm enough money to buy all the silver and trophy's they need.

Getting 1 point for a CTF game that takes like 20-25(not sure) minutes to play should the least of of our worries.

You get what, 2 points for bagball and you can do that game 3 times in a row. So you can get 6 points in literally about 10-15 minutes.

Oops, actually it's 1.

I confused that trophy with another statue of a man.

Okay, so 1 point.

My reasoning really for changing CTF to 1 point as well is that CTF takes more team work to win and it yields less than bagball.

I like bagball, but unlike CTF bagball can be won by 1 star player. People make a touchdown without any help a lot of the time lol.

CTF requires you to defend, get the flag back, heal your team, cast walls, have friends dispel them as you get the flag so you don't get blocked in and killed by an army ect.

The strategy in CTF is seen everywhere and games last longer so i think it should be at least 1 point.

Either way I'm gonna play CTF more than bagball because I find it more fun too.

CTFs and these games are for fun.. not for items..
The GAME itself is to be for fun, this is an accuracy based shard be thankful the staff allows us to play these games man!
The coins and trophies are just insentives to play, but if you don't enjoy competing for them dont play!
