Idea Airdrop

Idea: Introduce a random spawning entity that can be opened to receive tokens/cosmetics/cash loot.
~
Details:
* It will spawn only during the Battle Phase;
* Airdrop will spawn in a random part of the map;
* This entity has a 5% chance of spawning every 1 minute during the battle phase (?);
* The chance of spawning will increase every 1 minute (e.g: 1 min - 5%, 2 mins - 10% etc) (?);
* Anyone can open Airdrop by pressing "E";
* Airdrop will be similar to the "Pirate Chest" as it will contain random loot;
* This random loot can be: Cash-Tokens-Cosmetic Items;
* Airdrop is "delivered" by a helicopter;
* Only 1 Airdrop can be spawned during the Battle Phase (if it spawned).

Hey Kolser i like you´re idea but reciving COSMETICS THAT COST TOKENS is a bit "weird" since like Viral said you could get amazing like a rainbow fez or 100 bucks it is a great idea but cosmetics are a bit op (if they are pernament) but a +1 from me if the cosmetic idea was tweect with.

 

We can still put only <50 tokens cosmetics. Plus, new players would love to get some of the cosmetics (we got quite a big amount of them), right?

 

I was thinking about something like this the other day while playing a pirate round, yesterday was actually the first time I noticed the chests (they weren't there before). If I were to have a problem with something it would be, like the people above have stated, that there would be the chance of getting some super rare stuff too easily. However, I see that you have posted a solution to that particular problem, but I feel we might be able to solve it better. Perhaps if there were some way to make it still possible to get the super rare cosmetics from the chest, maybe the more tokens it costs in the store, the more rare and hard to get in the chest it will be. The idea of knowing that you could get something that would cost 100 tokens is pretty thrilling, and would probably make people want to fight and battle over these drops.

I give my + support

 

Yeah, I like your solution of this "problem". Percentage can decrease from 50% if this cosmetic costs more than 50 tokens and increase if it costs less than 50 tokens. (Heaven's Wrath can have a chance of 1% but Fez can have a chance of ~70% (?)) I'll make a list of drop chance for every cosmetic.

 

Kolser i have to say one thing. anything 50 + shoudnt be avalible or atleast 90 + since that are items you should grind for.

 

Airdrop won't be interesting for players who already have cosmetics that cost more than 50 Tokens then.

 

well you can still get like 20 % of the tokens the hat was worth or more idk

 

Just remember the fact that airdrop will spawn with a small chance.

 

List of the cosmetic items (not VIP ones) and their chance of spawning with Airdrop

This looks great, thanks for taking the time to make this, it looks good to me. If these airdrops end up happening way too often and then everyone has everything or if it just becomes a problem at all, we could either reduce the percentages of the chances of getting the cosmetics, basically scaling down the percentage chance, or make the chance of an airdrop dropping at all lower, even though it's already pretty low. Remember, that's an IF.

 

Oh, my bad, I've forgot that we can have Cash and Tokens as well as Cosmetics. I'll edit my post and reduce the percentage of some items.

 

Kolser, Now i like it since all the % overlap eachother the lower % will be way less possible to drop but you still need to add a VIP section with the VIP hats.

 

Interesting idea but I'd move to not give cosmetics at all, just the tokens. So players can buy what they want.

 

If we're fine with not adding any more weapons for VIP players (so it won't be so p2w), I guess donators can have at least individual cosmetic items.

 

Some new players might not know that we got cosmetics; if a player with 0 lvl will get something like Santa Hat or a Shinguard for free, it will probably give him a desire to play more (not sure if tokens can do the same). Plus we won't have a diverse selection of prises then.

 

Furthermore, Airdrop can contain 3 slots for prises (basically 3 items in a line for players to choose~Maybe 2 slots with tokens and 1 with cosmetic; 2 with cash and 1 with tokens) and anyone can take 1 item but not the whole Airdrop (first 3 players get the loot).
^But that's too much, isn't it?
But to cover that idea, the chance of cash spawning in an Airdrop can be increased>
I didn't list amount of cash and Tokens that you can get from the Airdrop:
Cash:
* $5,000 - 80% chance of being in an Airdrop (70% if we're alright without this idea);
* $10,000 - 75% chance of being in an Airdrop (65% if we're alright without this idea);
* $15,000 - 70% chance of being in an Airdrop (60% if we're alright without this idea);
* $20,000 - 60% chance of being in an Airdrop (50% if we're alright without this idea);
* $50,000 - 45% chance of being in an Airdrop (30% if we're alright without this idea);
* $80,000 - 25% chance of being in an Airdrop (15% if we're alright without this idea);
* $100,000 - 15% chance of being in an Airdrop (5% if we're alright without this idea).
Not sure if we need to add this ones ^
Tokens:
* 5 Tokens - 40% chance of being in an Airdrop;
* 10 Tokens - 30% chance of being in an Airdrop;
* 20 Tokens - 15% chance of being in an Airdrop;
* 50 Tokens - 5% chance of being in an Airdrop.

 

100k and 80k is a bit too much.In my eyes the max should be 50k or less

 

The player would have to go into the store to equip it anyway
