It’s good that you’re planning for this before rolling the feature out; I hope the team has also taken into account chips needed to unlock a hero’s red skill and to attune mods, so everyone can use the new hero at something approaching full potential, even while maxing their red skill remains the province of whales.
I’ve noticed some contests have been more generous in their scoring than usual, or have offered more bonus points for hero usage in ways that even new players can achieve. It’s been inconsistent, but still better than most contests from the past year-plus. Personally, I’d love for all individual contests to allow players to earn 250k-300k points for using certain heros in specified modes; that would be enough to make the first few tiers accessible to F2P and new players, which I think would drive engagement.
I might be in the minority on this, but I’d honestly prefer to have those 3-4 times a year, maybe during the anniversary or a major holiday; they make for a fun change of pace, but if they happened too often I fear they’d become boring.
This, 100%. Also, while I like Discord and find some aspects of the forum annoying, there are some advantages to the forum as well. For instance, and I know this may be hard to believe, but I do like the ability to compose longer posts with more elaborate formatting than Discord allows.
If Prize Walls are going to be reduced in frequency to that extent, I hope their rewards get a corresponding increase.
