    Hey Brawlers,
    I had a quick idea when thinking about Team Fortress 2 and I felt like it could be implemented onto our Hardcore Games server;

    Weekly Kit Trial.
    This would be for AFTER BETA.
    In Team Fortress 2, you can test out any item in the store for the duration of 1 week, once you test it you can not test it twice, you can also only have one test item at a time. My proposal is to introduce these "1 week trials" to the Hardcore Games, where players have the ability to try kits out for a week (or perhaps a day?) so they get the motivation to purchase the kit afterward.

    This is quite a flexible idea, you can change the length of the trial, the amount of times you can trial, etc - this is only a rough idea! Feel free to discuss your concerns in the comments, I am more than happy to see what you guys think.

    Cheers,
    Ryth

    I like it, it's a popular marketing technique in real life as well. Some players are unsure of the kit they want to buy as they don't know how to use it. Once they get the feel for it, then maybe it'll push them. Great idea.

    A week might be a bit long but I do think that this a great idea. This would hopefully give new players a taste of what kinds of things can be done in HG and maybe inspire them to buy kits and play more.

    Also would be good for a "try before you buy" type of thing.

    A week isn't that long. Also, MCPVP had a feature where you could swap a kit within the first week of purchase, they should bring that here

    Perhaps if you trial a kit for a week, after that week is over you have a week of "cooldown time" before you can trial a different kit?

    I think that would be good, would make it so you wouldn't burn through all of your trials for each kit so fast. Also maybe when a kit gets buffed/changed, you would be able to trial it again to see if you still like it.

    I like the whole idea behind the buff/change concept so I agree that that should be implemented incase this 7day kit trial idea is implemented.

    Does anybody else have any comments on this?
    Do you all agree with the 7day cooldown after trailing a kit? (therefore you don't burn through all the kits quickly)
