Idea New Booster for CTF

When you go into the "Booster" section on the Brawl shop (or just /booster in-game) and scroll through Capture the Flag's booster options, you'll only notice two available selections: Map and Credit booster. Another potential way for brawl to make money off of CTF is to add a "Class Booster":

Class Booster Specifics

• Time lengths would be 1 hour, 3 hours, and 6 hours (Same as the other boosters)
• Info: All classes will be available for the amount of time selected above
• Price: Anywhere from $1.99 USD to $3.99 USD

The main incentive for earning credits in CTF is to purchase the classes. With this booster active, people won't have to wait until Friday to test out and enjoy the classes. I see this as a way for players to have more than 1 day to experience the classes, and for Brawl to make a little extra money in the process. Let me know what you think!

 

Would really depend on how many boosters would be bought. Besides, once people have all the classes the credit system becomes useless.

I suppose to address this concern, this specific booster could be made player specific instead of server specific.

1. My opinion same as for unifer response
2. True, but if people do end up buying the booster it would equal more profit for brawl. Like the "hacker" tag. People said no one would buy it because it was $50, but some people did buy it.
3. I don't see the problem with this one, if they would choose to spend money instead of playing for free in the laggy mess that is free Friday, then why not let them?
4. I don't really understand the wording of this issue, but the price is around the same as the other boosters. Maybe you could clarify this for me?
5. True, but doesn't that also apply to the credit booster? If most regulars only know where the store is, and most regulars have all the classes, then by that logic the x2 credit booster shouldn't exist.

Thank you for your response, but would it really be that bad to add another money making option? Worst case scenario would be few people buy it, but that would still be more money made then people playing for free on Friday.

 

I think the intention is more for people who miss Friday, or don't like playing on Friday. If they're testing the class out, then they'd probably be more likely to decide which one they want. Then they can make an informed decision on which class to buy with credits, or with money. Or if people have friends who would like to try out a class, but don't know where the store is, a regular could purchase it for someone else.

I understand why you're skeptical of the idea, and there probably are better options for money making, but every little bit helps. Do you have any suggestions I could use to improve the thread? What do you think this idea needs to make it a better option for implementation?

 

Hm, you're right. No one would buy it. The price would have to be significantly lower for people to consider it, and with free day it would be ultimately useless.
