Most ideas for compressing 100 mist over time just turn it into 100 CE or 50 CE or something like that if you don't use it for a day. How about making it so the crowns per level are increased if you don't use it for 24 hrs? This would keep people from freaking out and trying to use all of their mist every day. The current system kinda gears this toward grinding, as opposed to casual play. Gotta get max crowns per day for your mist after all.
Think of it like this; You don't play for a couple days cause your on vacation. You get back and "GASP", your mist is glowing with... something. I dunno. Anyhow, you enter a level, and the crown drop rate is increased by 25%, or maybe 50! Not a steal, but helpful. The crown supply wouldn't spike because it's only 25% extra for not using your 100 mist for the time it would take to regenerate another 100 mist.
Say you play only levels that give 100 crowns. Playing 10 levels with your 100 mist gives you 1000 crows. So using 100 mist twice more for two more days gives you 3000 crowns. Now if you use 100 mist one day, skip a day, then use your powered mist, you make 1000 crowns the first time, then 1250 crowns the next time. That's 2250 total.
So here's the trade-off equation, if your only 100 crowns per level; 3 days + 300 mist = 3000 crowns, 3 days + 100 mist + 100 compressed mist = 2250.
One way you get more money per day, the other way you get more money per level. A fair enough trade. I'm for it because I can't always play all my 10 levels since I gotta share a computer with my brother, and I got lots of homework. Now it IS winter break for me, so I've got plenty of time on my hands, but I'd enjoy seeing this idea supported and implemented, or at least noticed and speculated. Please comment if you at least read this, thank you.
A NEW compressed mist idea.
I'll always say that unless you don't have access to computers at all, you can just login to craft some crap in 5 minutes and auction them for a total of 4k.
yes,yes vacations, but you don't have them all the time do you? It will only benefit on some occasions.
you win 4000 - 2% auction tax - random mats - 800cr crafting cost = like 2250 Per Day.
and there is the bonus chance of gettin UVs.
Hell, following your mat of 100 mist = 1000cr, it's better to sell stuff than play.
"people could just make accounts just for this and make cr for nothing, and 100cr? you get 200 from the first level in the tier. You also get get more than 100 mist per day"
1)100 crowns was used for easy math. I know you make 200 in teir one, give or take.
2)You don't get more than 100 mist per day, what are you talking about? If you let your 100 mist sit and do nothing, it just becomes stronger. More quality, not quantity. You still can't exceed 100 mist.
3)Multiple accounts is already a problem, though this wouldn't help it.
Example; Jimbob has two accounts.
He plays 3 days straight on them both, on 100 crown levels. Makes 3000 on both, puts it all on one, and makes 6000 total over 3 days.
Now he plays straight on his main for 3 days, and plays once on his extra then waits a day and plays again. He makes 3000 plus 2250, summing to 5250.
5250 is obviously less than 6000, this doesn't help multi-accounts.
"Hell, following your mat of 100 mist = 1000cr, it's better to sell stuff than play."
I KNOW. It's just for easy math, to display the increase. Copy pasta what I did with say, 900 crowns per FSC level.
" It will only benefit on some occasions."
Of course. It's not made to be ground breaking, it just keeps people from wanting to always use all of their mist every day. It lets grinders go "I don't feel like playing SK today", and just laxing without losing a whole days worth of money. They still lose 75%, but it's better than 100%.
Now honestly people, I know 100 crowns per level isn't realistic. Just a number for easy brainmath. Can we get more to the point?
Tuhui was "to the point," just diagreeing with you. The point is valid. This'd be open to abuse from alts, and could potentially even undercut Three Rings' CE income by encouraging players to store up Mist instead of using it daily.
If you look on the wiki it takes 22 hours to get 100 mist so you can get more than 100 mist per day and i did not want to make this point but we don't need any more cr in the game, energy is already 7k cr to buy.
Maybe you could have an option button to compress 100 mist energy into 20CE at a cost of... say 700crowns?
It makes more sense, the amount is little so using multiple accounts for that would be pointless and, it IS cheaper than CE although it still has about 70% of the cost.
And in game sense: to compress mist energy into CE, a large amount is needed to output a smaller amount with the cost of converting services, so 100 mist into 20 CE with a 700 crown tax.
Overall it still more meaningful than directly changing 100mist into 50CE for free, if that is the case
>Less people would buy CE and packages
>OOO would have significantly less profit (don't forget the developers!)
>Spiral Knighters would start abusing it
So if you don't intend to play for one day...
100mist+700crs--->20CE
people could just make accounts just for this and make cr for nothing, and 100cr? you get 200 from the first level in the tier. You also get get more than 100 mist per day
