i appreciate the offer of extra sp as much as anyone else but i actually found myself playing less during this bonus sp event and i will state my reasons why below. this is just my opinion of this round of bonus sp compared to other similar events from before.
the cap increase was great, the way the bonus was gained was ok but i found these combined added a wall to the sense of achievement something which drives most players and added more grind. compared to the triple sp event despite the bonus the player was able to cap out in a similar amount of time as a normal week therefore the sense of achievement was great. when it came round to the current event i found that the increase in sp gain per fight was small per fight and the weekly cap barely got touched giving the impression of more grind instead of more fun while earning extra sp
there is no denying the triple sp was great for allot of players and i'm sure the double sp event was good for a few too. i just ask that next time you make it feel a bit more passively gained rather than grinded for. i understand it was done this way to prevent afk players benefiting from the bonus but the nature of afk and sp gain in this game helped reward them anyway. they just afk'd twice as much.
my suggestion for next time is to keep the weekly cap the same but add a bonus pool.
weekly cap 190k (or whatever it is)
bonus cap 190k
the game then will reward players as normal from the weekly cap but the bonus cap is only taken out based on the modifier for the event. in the case of this past week lets say you earned 1000wp/sp from weekly cap then you would get 1000sp also from your bonus cap. for sense of achievement you have 2 caps to aim for, for afk then you will only ever benefit from the weekly sp cap |

I never cap to begin with so adding a larger cap was pretty much a fake 2x SP event to myself and most casual players, nothing really worth logging on for other than the usual 3-4 games every other night or so. Definitely would have made an effort to play more but the gains were very minimal unless you were smacking into the cap |

Funny thing, they didn't 2x the passive SP gained in a match to minimizing AFKing, but in the end it took so long to cap out, and I have only so long to play without getting burned out/taking care of other more important things that this 2x event actually drove me to AFK for the fist time. Honestly I'm starting to feel like I'm being punished every week for not spending at least 11 hrs a week playing. Sorry, I have a life. I Have a full time job and I'm married. I can not devote all my time to ensure I don't miss out on the weekly cap. |
