So the idea here is that No one buys bombs anymore. No one, bye bye bomb buying features. The reason for this is because it really does distant players from the game. You log on, buy bombs, drop them then leave. I mean that's pretty much as shallow as it gets.

So whats this AWESOME NEW FEATURE?

Follow along closely.

This link is a link that will show each NPC and their Alignment. Meaning that in nearly each and every region there are Exile and Legion NPCS of all levels. For the sake of this suggestion we'll stick to a small area for now like Dread Plains.

The idea of this suggestion is that instead of individuals buying bombs, they go to NPCS and "Hire" that NPC for a price to do an x amount of influence/damage to the opposing side (similar to dropping a bomb).

So if I were in Dread Plains, as an Exile Varium player I will click on Exile Leader and under all of his options there would be a "Hire" button that costs 100 Varium. After clicking that button I can see on the bottom of the screen that "Ghost God has hired Exile Leader: 83 Damage".

The best part? Free players can partake too. Because right next to Exile Leader theres Exile Soldier. Your free player will click on Exile Soldier, hire him for the credit equivalent, and there you go.

The absolute best part? Maybe implement another button on each NPC who can be hired and show the amount of times that NPC has been hired by the top 10 players (leaderboard basically).

And guess what? Depending on the region, some NPCS are stronger than others and it's actually fair between who's exile and who's legion. Respectively, Lvl 100 NPCS will do more damage than LVL 40 NPCS. NightWraiths Legion, Charfades Exile, Matrix (lvl 100) is Legion and King Alaric is Exile.

Benefits?

-NPCS get to partake in regional wars
-All Players get to partake in the fun
-It's simple
-Less spam as it requires you to click on the npc, hire, confirm the purchase, and repeat that process

It's fun, simple, everyone can partake even the NPCS and it solves the problem of buying problems while including a new simple feature that wouldn't take long to create. Just put in a button (similar to buying bombs) except you cant stack the bombs (they automatically are used).

There can be more features such as NPC's not being hirable for a hour if too many people are hiring them (being exhausted), or cool chat phrases such as "Ghost God has Titan Making it Rain. Damage 83" or "Nightwraiths hacking the Terminal! Damage 83".

This does nothing to change the current system, it's the exact same thing with minimal flavour added and slightly more annoying to use.
This does not change the fact that varium can decide the outcome of the war.

What exactly is "Fun" about it? It's just the bomb system but you can only buy one at a time. How is it any less shallow than what we have?

Not only that, but in terms of just straight up feel, it's a symmetrical system. There's nothing to really differentiate the varium and free options, the varium option just doesn't require credits.
If you look in the War 2.0 Redux thread, you'll see an idea i threw around of using a boss + a core to handle it. An asymmetrical solution like that is often the best way to go about it.

You also have to find ways to limit the amount of impact varium can have, while still providing something that feels good to use without massively skewing the war to the side with more money.
Combine an asymmetrical approach (doesn't have to be mine, but the one proposed here doesn't fix anything) with the idea that influence is only ever gained when opposite faction members are fighting, and your war is suddenly way more in balance.

xendran is right, let the exiles take this win as well since we know they have the varium users and more people, ed needs this feature to earn bucks so no ways it is to be removed

The thing with this is that you cant save "it" in your inventory. You won't be able to stack bombs. Each NPC will have maybe a 200 Hiring limit every hour. Available for both credits and varium.

Don't you see? The problem isn't necessarily buying the bombs. The problem is that 1) Its not fun, and 2) Varium users and ONLY Varium Users can stock pile these bombs and decide whether to use it or not (for war rallys or not). With this theres no picking and choosing and by picking/choosing too late you miss out on your chance.

ANd exiles wont win every war. In every region the NPC levels are different// the amount of NPCs with certain alignments are different. One place might have more Exiles than Legions, and vice versa. ALSO some NPCS (LEGION) are level 100, meaning that their bombs are way more effective than other individuals.

Ill take a look at the redux thread but, honestly, this idea is simple and very effective. This will work even if sides aren't "even" or if the numbers are skewed. And, if the following gets implemented, then the two together would turn out perfectly.

quote:

To be honest, devs, I would really like for you guys to consider making the dailys for each alignment different. What I mean by this is that WD, 1v1, 2v2 and Jugg championships/dailys wont be awarded to just the faction with the most wins or influence that day. Instead it would be awarded to both the top legion and exile factions of that day .

Why you ask? Well players mainly like 1 thing more than anything and that 1 thing is called "winning". A player would choose to win over any thing else which is why so many players want to become exile. We have the heavy spenders and, in war, only 1 side can be rewarded with the war prize. So follow a long with me for 1 minute.

By making those rewards go to the top legion and exile factions, instead of just 1, there are 2 chances to win the daily or WD: Legion and Exile. In its current state exile top wins are an average of 1400 1v1s and 380 2v2s (jug is a different story since theres not really a challenge there).

But for Legion? The highest legion fac wins you're going to see, for now at least until this idea is implemented, is an average of only 300 1v1 wins, about 100 2v2s and, once again, jug is a different story.

So what'll happen then? Well players love winning. If it is that easy for any legion faction to win 1v1 or 2v2, plenty of players would switch in no time to "abuse" this feature.

Almost done. So Players switch over, create a legion faction, get all happy with winning daily legion championships back to back and before you know it more and more players switch over. This feature will, undoubtedly balance out the sides.
