    Greetings CTFers!
    Ever since I earned the last bit of credits I needed to get the last class that I could get with credits (Elf) I've been wondering what I could use excess credits for. I know that I'm definitely not the only one with a growing number of credits that serves no purpose anymore. So, does anyone have any suggestions for alternative uses for credits that could be implemented?

    One idea that I'm in favor of, is giving away extra credits to players who need, or want a little extra. One more question, should there be a limit to how much a person could give to someone else? Let me know what you think below! :grinning:

    My credits are going to waste, and I'd love to see someone actually put them to some good use.

    Transfer them with a daily limit of ~1000.
    We don't want a surge of engineers or dwarves the moment this new feature is released.

    Edit: Okay 1k seems a bit low but I hope you can see where I'm going with the idea. There should also be a limit on how many credits you can receive in a day.
    Because Brawl is a company who wants to earn money, perhaps make it so that donators can transfer more per day and have no cap on how many they can receive?
    I know it's a dumb incentive but it's something I guess.

    Edit 2: To elaborate, if the limit were at 5000 per person per day then all it takes is for 2 regulars to give the credits and they would have a class. The ratio of regulars to players who don't play often is pretty high compared to other game modes on Brawl/other servers.
    Perhaps implement a system of "Bonus Credits"?
    The credits you give to someone will be given as bonus credits to them. Each normal credit they earn, they get a credit from their Bonus Credit pile. This way the incentive to play is still there and those who are lazy will still buy classes from the shop.

    Perhaps you could purchase a rank (vip, mvp, etc) after you've gathered a massive amount of credits? Or you could get a medal on the forums (called hoarder perhaps?) for getting a huge sum of credits? Brawl could have special mini games that require players to pay credits to play (like an arcade, except not real money, f*** EULA). We gotta do something, as of now, credits are pretty useless to players who've purchased everything

    What my idea for credit gifting goes as follows -

    Make voting relevant again. Using votes, you get tokens. With enough voting tokens you can turn your vote tokens into an upgraded gift token. Gift tokens would have a limit on how much on you could gift, like 5k. Using a gift token, you could then gift those credits, and once the credits have been gifted, the gift token goes away.

    Maybe try making credits a global currency instead of just for CTF? Personally, I'd be fine with wasting my credits on Party ****.

    Or make it so you can convert other game currencies to ctf credits like party coins to ctf credits

    I've always thought that excess credits could be like a currency for CTF (like voting tokens), and only that the rewards are limited on CTF items.
    Kinda like 10k -> 1hr credit booster
    1k -> a certain class for x games etc etc..


    Or it could be like a trade for coins in party instead I guess

    I wouldn't personally suggest items from the brawl shop being able to be bought with credits. As much as I'd like it, ultimately brawl needs to make money as well. This is pretty difficult already without this idea. I think we could definitely should be using the credits somehow, I just think it needs to work independently of what's in the brawl store. I would suggest other gamemodes, but the fact is then people would flock to those gamemodes who give out the most credits, which doesn't benefit others.

    That would be a good way for giving HG an actual playerbase.
