^Agreed.

When the topic of how to reduce rage-quitting by incentivizing staying popped up in that other topic in General, I had honestly forgotten about this.  I'd like it again if I could.

 

This is exactly the type of reward I was talking about when I said the multiplier bonus for staying in the same server for consecutive matches, "needs to be more than the worthless XP, HC and MC that most of us already have more of than we know what to do with."

I hadn't seen it before either. Its a good idea.

 

It would be neat to have unique free-only cosmetic parts as rewards for being a good Hawken citizen. I'm fine with them being the grindiest item in the game too.

reward player a temporary skin (eg: last 1 week) from the salvage

Temporary skins = No thanks

How about you can trade salvage for X amount of HC, or trade a certain amount of salvage for (permanent) skins/cosmetics

Could even add a random aspect to what skin you get, like unboxing in TF2/CS:GO.

Although hopefully with less bs.

This is an excellent idea. I am also for additional goodies from scrap beyond just HC, like scrap-only cosmetics.

 

I am also for unlocking items/internals through scrap, but only when the game has way more items/internals than it currently has so as to not decrease the longevity of the cash shop too severely.

Maybe a little reward in HC and/or one new achievement to "compensate" as well.

 

New related Cammo/s look/s like.. unlikely to me. Although would be a nice touch. Perhaps one new pilot emblem?

 

Anyways.. Just my 2 cents. ;)

[Liquid_Speaker]

Seems like a legit idea. Would like to see a scrap mech added in if that could happen. Collecting random drop parts could keep people from leaving.

Why just have it as sellable parts? You know, it would be cool to form a collection of salvaged parts each with their own descriptions/lore and whatever. I certainly wouldn't sell anything that wasn't a duplicate. THE COLLECTION MUST GROW.

what about using salvaged parts to make mech bobbleheads for your hud, even more things to collect.

Keep 'em coming.  This is good stuff and, yes, this will help a whole lot towards keeping people from leaving at the end of every match.

I am resurrecting this thread. It is exceptionally salient as a suggestion, has an overload of positive feedback, no valid criticisms as of yet, and I think it needs to be looked at again by Reloaded.

 

It's a joke though, I don't report threads. I can't imagine anyone doing that excepting that one sad sack.

The Problem

 

As we all know, there are serious issues with people leaving matches either mid-game, or directly following a match. Naturally, this leads to serious issues with matchmaking and game balance. One solution that has been put forward is to give a reward to players who stay in the same server for several matches in a row.

 

 

 

My Proposal

 

Add a chance for a player to receive a salvage bonus at the end of the match, given out at the same time as the HC. This salvage bonus would be in the form of a mech part salvaged from the battlefield, perhaps a limb or maybe even a cockpit. These salvage parts would be exchanged in the store for HC. I envision there being three or more tiers of salvage quality, with the higher tiers being less common, but worth more HC. The probability of receiving a higher quality drop, or even a salvage drop of any kind, would increase with consecutive matches in the same lobby. There would need to by a cap on how long this probability increases in order for salvage to not be completely OP in terms of HC collection; perhaps the cap would be five matches or so. Some careful consideration would be needed to determine the HC values of the various salvage tiers. 

 

I think this is an interesting way to add a reward for staying in the same server for multiple matches while also incorporating the game's lore. I also think this is a good way to keep new players interested, and lessen the impression of an insurmountable grind. The fact that there's a chance something good might drop at the end of a match has an addictive quality as well, and may keep some people in game for longer than normal. At the end of the day this would function similarly to already proposed rewards, but I like the idea of tying in the fact that a bunch of mechs just got blown up. 

 

LOVE IT!

Oh.  OK.

[So_Say_We_All]

Yes, this is a fine idea to an important problem.

How does that sound to you?
