--THIS TOPIC IS NOT FOR BUG REPORTS OR TINY DETAILS YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDED.--
Everybody knows by now I rly like this game, but lets face it... A lot of good teams are quitting SM.
Its because there are less & less tournaments worth playing for. Firefall has a 1 000 000€ season? I mean wtf...
Anyways, im not gonna start talking about other games, cuz i dont care bout them. I just wanna make SM better & get more players. The playerbase is really the most important factor for any game.
These are my suggestions that would make SM better in a random order. Lets go :
1. Free Elite&Joust
--> We need more & new players. Zotac had almost 200sign-ups every week for Joust. Last week it had 20.
( = WTF? )
--> More players = more advertisements, cuz players always tell their friends about games they like.
2. New environments.
-->A new setting & atmosphere for maps. Every maps looks almost the same. For active players its getting boring. ( maybe not the right word. ) In CS you have like Jungle, Snow & Desert maps.
3. Better ranking & Echelon-sytem
--> I know its in Beta so i wont complain about the Echelon.
--> Currently on 75% of the servers you get 0.0 LP because they only go to 50K ...
So NADEO reworked the ranking-system ( u get points even if u lose and its great ) but everybody has more than 50k... For me... you can remove the LP ranking system cuz I always get +0 ... If you would remove it... i wouldnt notice any difference.
For a lot of players the LP is important. They want to rank up & get LP. Why isnt this fixed...
Also a lot of double ranks... If im #1 , i want to be the only #1 of the world.
4. Achievements.
--> Give us achievements : get a 50m+ shot , do a +3 , get a 100m+ shot, dont get hit an entire map, ...
A lot of players like this and really just play to get achievements. As a reward for achievements you could get a planet reward , an extra star, a cool emblem , a golden skin, ...
People who dont like achievements can just ignore it. Where is the harm in that?
= Keep ur active players playing. Give them a reason to stay.
Also steam-achievements are cool.
5. With the launch of the new environment NADEO should readvertise the game + host another big event with €10k+
--> What big tournament will there be after escw? Nothing.
6. Lower the price to €9.99
--> Why not? I dont wanna start a discussion. Changing the price probably has its pros & cons...
This is how I see it : Lower the price with 50% but you'll get 2x more players... 2x50% = 100%
7. Give mapcreators more freedom. Let them add custom items... & other stuff.
--> I wanna see Elite maps with cool random stuff thats different from the standard blocks...
Why not? I dont understand. Who knows what people will make?
--> Why cant someone create like a 'dumpster' and add that to his map? So he can replace a fence for example...
Its just a custom item placed upon a standard block. Basic physics... ( im probably oversimplying )
8. Interface update ( maniaplanet )
-->The game is finally getting a good look. The last updates really made the game look better, but the menus & maniaplanet in general look like its stuck in the past. Just look at the chat-system.
( no offense, im only trying to help )
Give us a modern & fresh UI. Its time.
Also the website could realy use an update. ASAP. Its so poorly designed & its not user-friendly at all.
Maybe not all my points are super important, but my topic had to be made. The game needs to get bigger like was promised to us. Currently SM has 400players playing continously. It should be 1k by the end of this year at least.
Leave a comment with ur opînion & maybe leave other suggestions.
Thx.
