Anyone else think this would be a good idea?

Same Scenario · 12-17-2011, 01:32 PM

Another way of earning a large amount of credits would be having Daily or weekly challenges instead of just having the lottery sort of like halo but for FFR. xD

**ScarletSky** · 12-17-2011, 01:34 PM

Not a bad idea, it'd be kind of like skill tokens now but easier I suppose.
I like it, needs a bit more structure but nice.

**wildfireskunk** · 12-17-2011, 01:57 PM

The idea is good, implimentation may be difficult (or easy? I can't code).

Week long targets for credit bonuses like "Get 25 different AAAs this week", "Hit 500,000 arrows", "Play 300 different songs", etc. Maybe have them tiered, so that every skill level can join in. "Get a AAA on 5/7/9/11 difficulties", or "Pass a difficulty 2/4/6/8/10 song with 90% goods or more", with each milestone granting an additional credit bonus. Targets are always a great motivator (tournament is a great example), and I know the challenges really made me play Halo Reach a lot more!

"Insert X credits to see what this weeks challenge is!"
Receive 150% of your credits back if you can complete the challenge.
Each week there is a chance that a special prize might be added so submit every week just in case!

Sound good?

I like this idea a lot, would put a little more use into credits. And upon using the credits, you then feel obligated to get your credits back and complete said challenge.

I really like Zageron's idea, and agree with you yo man. +1

Depending on the difficulty of the challenges I'd increase the % a bit (if they were like I recommended I'd be hoping for more around 200%), but so long as they're achievable by everyone from newbies to pros, sounds nice

Maybe make it so that a special new token has to be earned this way as well? Make it kinda like for a chart that's a 9/10 and make it like a 35% chance every challenge that you can unlock it or something.

Would that be doable? Because I think that would make this a lot more bad ass.

**Netjet!** · 12-17-2011, 02:10 PM

@Wildfire: Each week could vary? Maybe have:

"Insert X credits to see this week's challenge. Win 100+y% of your credits back, or a special prize!"

**alloyus** · 12-17-2011, 02:20 PM

Do it

Yeah, pretty much what I had in mind but didn't articulate well XD Have it change dependant on the difficulty if the challenge. Harder challenges mean bigger prizes! It'd want to be a big prize though, since being a weekly challenge you'd hope it would require a lot of work. Thus why 150 or even 200 might seem a little low.

**sticklydude** · 12-17-2011, 02:25 PM

But couldn't someone reveal what the challenge was the others?

Obviously, but I think that eventually it would die down enough that the majority of the people playing wouldn't have a clue what the challenge was.

Alternatively it wouldn't really matter? There's not much of a reason to hide it, as long as the challenge is somewhat challenging. You could just pay to accept it, and take your chances from there. Hiding it doesn't really serve a purpose since the credits you pay don't exactly go into a pot or anything.

**Zakvvv666** · 12-17-2011, 02:47 PM

How about know the challenge but you MUST pay credits to be able to complete it, and the % of credits you get back varies based on the difficulty of the challenge.

Yes, you would always have to pay the credits to complete the challenge. Just because you know what the challenge is doesn't mean you'd be able to do it! :P

Exactly why I said that, but also make sure the easier challenges don't give too much :3 or else FFR whores like me will end up with millions in no time xD

The purpose of this is to remove credits from the economy. There are 877,333,046 credits and rising in the economy.

If that's the case, make people pay just to know the challenges then.

**Conorn** · 12-17-2011, 03:05 PM

I approve of this.
