(GL) Abumi Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) What do you want to see?: I would like to see the hotshot crate probability numbers readjusted more. Currently it is too low for meaningful profit at all and defeats the purpose of engaging players in a different means by granting players opportunity for progression in currency used to participate in different aspects of the ImperialRP Why should we add it?: It should be added because hotshot crates are already expensive for new players.Having tested over 4,000 crates. On average you are losing 30-50% of your original investment and for new players starting out with 0 GC that just won’t cut it for long term use of the crate system. The 5,000 and 7,500 are too common and the 20,000 GC rarity came to an estimated 10% drop rate making it a lot easier to just straight up lose your money in comparison to its original values before it was reworked (this in no form infers that the old values were balanced). Another thing to note if there is no money to be made out of crates. It becomes another addon filling/lagging the server and I really think crates are a cool concept to give reason for players and fellow staff members to afk overnight to best support GL servers and bring our community to greater heights. The crate system is the main way of making money ingame unlike other servers such as GL policeRP that have AFK jobs that have a higher wage increase compared to the normal job to promote AFKing overnight as said earlier. One of the solutions I was brainstorming in my head was to remove the 5000 GC drop all together and instead have the 7500 GC drop increased to compensate while raising the rest of the rarities by small progressive increments to more so balance the loss of 1 of the possible drops out of 7. It increases your odds while still making losing money not as punishing for investing your time into the content. What are the advantages of having this?: Allows for another outlet for sensible progression without spending irl money or climbing battalion ranks Grants an engaging activity to promote activity on the server even during late night hours for afking on the server. More GC for NCOs and officers to host sims with rewards correlating to GC and prizes as such to keep players active on the server and wanting to come back for more fun. Can add more people to joining the merchant to purchase items that otherwise would be barred off by the GC divide between players Who is it mainly for?: New players and long time players looking for engaging content to do outside of the daily regiment RP.

Nacho Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 +Support If the probability rates you posted are accurate then there's no point of purchasing crates. No one wants to lose GC especially since the only thing you can do with it besides give it away is buy crates to make more GC. Obviously the pistol crates exist but once you get the best pistol from those, why buy it again? There should be more outlets to spend money so buying the [profitable] hotshot crates that Abumi is proposing is more desirable. As Abumi stated above, if hotshot crates are desirable, then people are more likely to AFK open then, boosting GL activity and stats.

Manager Beckett Posted July 2, 2021 Manager Share Posted July 2, 2021 Crates are mainly used for pistols/weapons, we have a whole casino system for making money. Plus, we lowered the rates because people starting abusing them with third party software that repeats unboxing at a ridiculous amount. And I'm guessing you're one of them considering you've tested '4,000' crates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
