[Medal] Flat Rate / Escalating Spoils Medal

Post by will_mp40 »

Concise description:
  • Flat Rate Medal and/or escalting medal

Specifics/Details:
  • Well i dont know if this has even been brought up by anyone. But it is quite annoying that there is a nuclear medal but none of these medals. In some cases the escaliting medal makes the games harder as it takes a lot of skill to take out more oppentents to get more cards. Also there would be ambition to play these games as there is something to go for aswell as points. However it is only a suggestion and so i dont know if it will be a good idea in other people's eyes

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • More players would be likely to play for these medals and it will make these games alot more exciting

lackattack has already said that there won't be an "Automatic", Escalating, Flat Rate, No Spoils, or any of the reinforcement medals, Basically the more popular settings. Flat Rate is already considered popular enough.

Introduce flat rate spoils medal and escalating spoils medal

Post by SimplyObsessed »

Concise description:
  • Introduce medals for flat rate spoils and another for escalating spoils, with the same 20 for bronze, 100 for silver, 400 for gold, 1000 for platinum formula

Specifics/Details: It makes sense, as we don't only have medals for the more quirky aspects of gameplay (the 'standard' medal for example). What is the rationale of only having a nuclear spoils medal and why is it more medal worthy than the others? Escalating and Flat Rate are equally valid settings and require different skills. It would be nice for that to be reflected in the medals system.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • Something new for the more experienced players to try to achieve, once everyone's got their platinum medals we could find the site getting rather dull rather quickly and this prolongs the fun.
  • I think it would be nice to have a set of the different spoils medals.

I concur and like the idea, although I suspect I'm already platinum escalating and pretty close with flat rate.

unfortunately, this is unlikely to add much for the more experienced players as we'd probably already have them or be close.

Well, we do, but if they are too easy to get then the joy is reduced. If you had infinite medals you wouldn't take any pleasure in getting another one.

While it's fun to get an easy one every now and then, you want most of them to be difficult or the bloom will soon be off the rose.

levels now go till platinum and not that many players would get them both platinum straight. not to mention that it's additional fun for newcommers. what about the teammate medal? lots of people had it straight in gold when it came out.

Less than 1% of active members got gold that quickly. Only 162 have gold or higher now. That's a lot different that what this would be.

I reckon that it's easy to get medals. Many people would get as soon as implemented.

But it may be some of the easy medals that attract new players to the site.

There are easy medals? These ones could be the easiest ones to obtain, but it's not that bad.

If something it could have another value like 2000 battles won or something.

Time to add medals for all settings, gives one something to aim for when selecting or starting games
even the popular settings should be added.

don't want to get bored and do something else ;-)

There is no reason to give a medal for nukes and not the rest. The question is what harm will it do? I know that personally i ll be happy to have one of these new medals, probably in gold and with an acheivable platinum. Most of the platinums i have left i know i ll never get. Escalating or flat rate i could.
