Revamped Krogmo Bribes

Due to the removal of mist energy from the game the krogmo bribe function is rarely being used. I believe that since energy, which costs players money, is needed for the bribes the possible rewards should reflect this. Adding items which will always be useful to the playerbase to the pool of possible rewards would make bribing krogmo far more popular.

Here is a sample reward pool that I think would make the players feel like bribing is worth it while still retaining a net energy loss compared to energy prices at the supply depot.

35% +1 krogmo coin
25% +2 krogmo coins
18.95% +3 krogmo coins
10% Random bombhead from the current pvp bombhead pool
1% Mirrored Lockbox
.05% Random aura from a pool of auras that doesn't include the ~3 most recent promotions

The last 10% in my opinion should be different depending on if the bribe was done in lockdown or blast network to encourage play in both.

Lockdown: 9% 1 spark of life 1% 1 UV1 ticket

Blast Network: 10% 5 random fire crystals

Keep in mind that while some of the numbers seem bad the whole winning team receives the prize so it has to be balanced accordingly.

Obviously the numbers and prizes are just suggestions based on what I believe players would want while still being fair and can be worked with to find something acceptable.

The benefits of this change are the bribe function will be used more often and since the rewards are a net energy loss it would result in OOO making money instead of the function not being used. Another benefit would be possible increased activity in pvp which helps the longevity of the game. Also, I don't know how the bribe function is coded but it seems like it would be something that would be simple to implement.

Good Idea

In my opinion I would cut down that bombhead %.

1% for a mirrored lockbox? That doesn't really sound rare. Plus, mirrored lockboxes are worth alot.

That was just a sample, it doesn't necesarily have to be that specific object, but instead something that reflects similar to that value. Maybe a special Krogmo box that can hold all sorts of goodies like Trinket slots, Weapon slots, UV Tickets, Acessories, etc etc.

@OP

I enjoy the idea, honestly. Having the bribe extend outwards to other content beside coins would make alot of people use the system, and at the same time encourage players that want krogmo coins to buy the boosters from the Supply depot since there will be a percentage that doesn't guarantee that you will get coins, people will be forced to play it safe if they really want 'em.
