I like the coins idea and I believe the prices of the items at the coin vendor are fair. Especially the gold coins.

However, there needs to be another way to acquire coins. Bronze coins can only be acquired by doing the daily mission. Silver and gold coins can only be acquired by particpating in tournaments, the gold only by div1 weekly.

Doing the math, for 1 item of the new Defender set (84 gold coins) you need to participate in every weekly div1 tourney for 1 month (4 weeks, 8 tourneys) AND must place at least in 1/2 bracket (11 gold coins). That's 4 months for the whole set. The time will be shortened for finishing better though, which makes people try harder i guess.

We should be be able to buy either the items or the coins with GBs, preferrably the coins. This would also help put more money into your(Vogster) pocket also.

Here's an end of post afterthought...

Also, you could do an exchange system of coins. I.E. 10 bronze = 1 silver, 100 silver = 1 gold.

Its like you read my mind i agree with your idea on that coins exchange issue. Altough 100 silver coins for 1 gold coin is a bitt harse. Mabye 50 or 75 silver for 1 gold coin should be good enough.

Simply because i don't like to play gangwars or tournements. Because i am terrible at those matches. And that means i never am able to get silver or gold coins. Butt with your idea i have fun in my own way.

So this could be a good solution for me and for any one that plays like me. So we still get to enjoy this game a little bit more.

And i do play my daily mission every day they are fun for me.

Hopes this thread get trough to them you have a good point here.

I agree that you should be able to get gold coins in other ways, not just tournament (for those who are not able to play because of times, etc).  They should still be a challenge to get, something similar to the daily reward missions.

I do not agree with getting coins by purchasing them.  This would circumvent the entire basis on which getting the best gear was designed: it is earned in game and not simply bought with real money.  This would be gamebreaking and would would probably destroy some of the best aspects of the game itself.

The number of coins was just an example, but 100 silver coins isn't too harsh imo. for getting to 1/2 in daily tournement, div1, you get i believe 155 silver coins...

Silver coins will soon be flooding everyones inventory. They are awarded for every tournament with the exception of weekly div1, that gives out gold coins.

And you don't have to be good to get the rewards of the tournament, they have it set up so that every player gets some kind of reward of coins. All the way down to 1/256 bracket. (I'm not in game so this might be off a little)

Maybe a tri-level daily mission?

for example yesterday's daily was kill 20 enemy players with a RL. (BTW - Awesome noob-tube match on Iso yesterday, was lots of fun)

first level would be the kill 20 for bronze coin.

second level would be kill 100 for a silver coin.

third level would be kill 250 for gold coin.

And to keep players from getting 1 of each, once you turn in the mission, you can't do it again for a higher/lower level. meaning if you kill 95 and turn in the mission, you still only get the bronze and you can't try again for the silver or gold. If you get 105 kills and turn in the mission, you get the silver coin ONLY and the daily is done. Basically you would be turning it in when you get the number of kills for the coin you desire. I don't how difficult that would be to program with the current mission system, but sounds good to me.
 

 You dont get 155 silver for coming 1/2, its 55 or something, for 1st place its 100 and 2nd place 75 silver and i totally disagree about the pricing from the vendor. Take it from a player whos been there, apparently the rewards description is incorrect in the russian client and maybe others which shows that you should receive 200 silver but you dont.

As for the weekly you win 20 gold coins for coming 1st, but then your expected to pay 264 gold coins for the new high level defender set. Thats 13 tournies and a bit and only if you come 1st place everytime, I'm pretty sure everyones heard this rant before but the last threads been buried and this is a point thats worth pushing. Whats worse is the rewards are bind on pickup so tournaments are no longer a viable way of earning money, so if you were to only focus on playing tournaments such as myself youd be running into the negatives very fast. 

Another thing that should be taken into notice is how ridiculously cheap the 5 slotted weapons are such as the W&M SG1 and SG2 which can be earned with 1 div1 weekly victory compared to their price of 100GB on the BM.

I probably am incorrect about how many you receive but the point i was making was that a win (100 silver coins per your post) in daily should be able to be traded in for a gold coin if the user wanted.

I agree that the balancing of the cost of the items compared to each other needs attention. Some are very cheap compared to the equivalent of the crafted items.

Well, I would summarize it:

• Remove "Bind on PickUp" from Coin Vendor stuff
• Implement and Exchange System for Silver to Gold coins.
• Perhaps make the Coins tradeable at all. Would at some kind of a new "ressource" to the economy
• Adjust prices of 5 slot weapons
• Implement other ways to collect coins

For the last point I have some suggestions:

1. Give Bronze Coins for iddling in Clubs
2. Add Minigames to the clubs or lobbies where u can also earn coins
3. I heard of Lobby Crates and Hide & Seek games. Reimplement such stuff. Maybe you could add some civil couriers in lobby, which look like players from afar but can be chased and if  u trade with them u get stuff or sth.

I also like PugFuries Idea of a extended Daily Mission.

But Maybe make it different than just "kill more, earn more , gather more score" but more complicated. Like for example:

• score 1000 points in PvP without using boosts or without wearing pants or shirts or without using boosts or without using skills
• score 1000 points with a preset class equiped
• Search the courier which is appearing in a random SnG match

Stuff like that I mean, which is not just "bigger" but just more delicate.

Also I think it should be possible to do Bronze Coins Missions AND silver and gold coins mission and they should be different from each other. Maybe you could even make it a weekly mission for gold coins. Like "Participate in territory wars and capture at least two territories".

Speaking of Territory Wars. I would like the idea of some kind of special loot from capturing a territory. I think you could implement the old Drop system from the Bleedout Tournament to TW instead?! 

Just my 2 cents.
