What I think the Summoner Compensation Gifts should have been. (didn't feel appreciated enough)
Okay. So we all know the Summoner Compensation (oh sorry, it's 'Appreciation', isn't it?) Week gifts were pretty trash, but I want to talk about how Kabam could have made these gifts better, without fundamentally changing the sorts of things that were there. Pretty much, how much should have Kabam buffed these gifts? Here's my OPINION.
Alliance Quest Gift: Higher level potions and revives. Maybe just take the potion and revive stuff that everyone gets anyway and make that the Alliance items version and stick that there. Also make it 5 of all the map crystals. x6 map 4 is just so random and map 4 isn't really that great. 25k loyalty is pretty ok tho. Probs needed 100k tho cause alliance war gives so much of the stuff.
Alliance War Gift: Note that this is coming from a guy who absolutely DESPISES Alliance War, and doesn't do the stupid thing anyway. But whatever, onto my ideas. Firstly, give 3-5 of each of those boosts. Next, add some Greater Boosts on there as well. And again, what I said about the Alliance Potions and Revives in the AQ gift. That's it.
Questing Gift: Firstly, 1 or maybe even 2 fully formed 4* champs. I suppose 2 would make it too good so yeah just 1. Next, needs way more than 2 energy refills. That barely lasts you 1 run of Act 5! We need somewhere between 5 and 10 energy refills. Also, take the potion and revive stuff we all get, double it and turn them into single champ ones, and plop that on the end. Nice. Now that's a gift!
Arena Gift: 50 Stamina Refills. Now that's gonna give you a significant boost. Also, give us 10 or so of those crystals that give the super beefed up boosts. You know. The 2-3x points ones? Now there's a nice synergy if I ever did see one. But anyway,. I also think the PHCs should be replaced with GMCs at least. Yes, I know that not everyone is Uncollected, but hey at least those crystals are a bit better. I mean GMCs are more likely to make a more useful impact on our score, cause WHO THE HECK USES 2* CHAMPS IN ARENA MUCH ANYMORE ANYWAY?
Universal Gift: Just keep that at half of the rewards of the other ones combined, and you're good.
Shared Rewards: Hey that's pretty dang good. IF IT HAD BEEN LIKE ONLY A WEEK OF OVERHEATING AND BAD SERVERS. So let's go at least 3k shards, 150-200 units. The potions and revives can stay as is.
And that's how I think Kabam could have made people ACTUALLY FEEL APPRECIATED from this Summoner Compensation Week.
Note to Kabam: I don't hate you. Really. I might use some less-than-desirable language elsewhere, but I don't hate you guys. I just want to see this game flourish instead of wither due to your excessive milking of it. And giving it and its player-base some high-quality sunlight is one of the places you can start. But then again, if you can't understand that analogy, I wouldn't expect you to let this thread stay up for very long.
