Tiered token unlock system

[crisp scarab]

In my opinion, the best way to go about a unlocking system is with a tiered token system. Every level up, you get a token and can use that to unlock a weapon or gadget of a tier.

For example, tier 1 would be AK 15, MK20, USP, whilst tier 2 is SVD, Honey Badger, RPG Tandem etc.
Higher tiers get unlocked with higher player levels. For example, Tier 2 would be unlocked from level 20 onwards.

So people can go for what they want, without it being fully free and people able to go to the meta options immediatly. If you want to focus on ARs first, you can do that etc

I personally wouldn't mind this system but I am also find with the current every other game level system.

I like the idea but I really don't see how it would fix the current problem 🤔 people are just gonna stick to the m4 and ak15 until they get the good stuff down the line which with that system would take just as much to get there considering they are tiered, also that would introduce a new problem that people might regret unlocking something and are gonna flood support asking for token refunds 😂

It's gonna be very dependent on the tiers and what is on them

[crisp scarab]

Fair enough. Not saiying its a perfect system, its just something me and twelve talked about in Patreon Chat

[cursive thistle]

I'm not shutting down the idea, I like the idea we just gotta think more about it and develop it further

[hollow juniper]

the system bb uses is imo similar to pf

which would be enjoyable, but pf has a huge amount of guns compared to bb

[cursive thistle]

To fix those issues

[crisp scarab]

Yeah, fair. Would need to be fine tuned anyway

[hollow juniper]

current system imo is ok but pretty grindy

token idea sounds cool, reminds me of mw2022's battle pass system in a way

[cursive thistle]

For weapons it's a touchy subject but I'd really like it for gadgets and maybe(?) attachments or skins 🤔

[crisp scarab]

The reason I also suggest it for weapons is so people that only play ARs can get a few more of them, as opposed to what we have rn

Still that they cant go for FAL immediatly or whatever becomes the most broken setup

[hollow juniper]

there's not that many gadgets in the game per class though, and i feel that the reason skins are locked behind kills is so that you can say that you have this amount of skill or experience with the gun by what type of skin you have on it

[crisp scarab]

But they can somewhat focus on 1 type of gun first, and then when their avaible tiers are exhausted, go to other types

[cursive thistle]

Ah I see what you mean, personally i don't really care if it's AR or SMG or whatever as long as it does the job but i can see your point that some people can't stand SMGs or whatever

[crisp scarab]

Yeah, or unlocking recon/support equipment

[cursive thistle]

Yeah that's true i was just throwing it out there 🤷 but i agree with you

[crisp scarab]

Eventually, they are your only tiered option. But you can get stuff for your main class first

[hollow juniper]

some battlefield titles have a progression system where you progress in the weapon/gadget category to gain more access to tools in that category

[cursive thistle]

Fucking ranger ghillie is rank 150 ffs

[hollow juniper]

like 1 and 4

[crisp scarab]

Armor, I dont even know if that would be included

[cursive thistle]

That could be a shout actually

[hollow juniper]

aren't the other armor options purely cosmetic?

[crisp scarab]

Or if that is still level depending .Since most are cosmetics only

[crisp scarab]

Yeah, some are still better for concealment than others. But still cosmetic

[hollow juniper]

i'm talking weapons unlocked by kill challenges or other requirements rather than rank in most cases, not all, because some are still locked behind rank

[crisp scarab]

I still think skins should be kills with a certain weapon

[cursive thistle]

As long as you have the basic options unlocked the rest are cosmetic, the ranger ghillie is rank 150 but in terms of stats is the same as one you unlock in 35

[hollow juniper]

but i have a more grind-oriented view of progression and unlocks because i come from phantom forces

[crisp scarab]

PF I havent played in a long while. Was only like level 100

But yeah, I get what you mean

[hollow juniper]

and in that game, although you can purchase guns/attachments with credits, you don't have to due to its level system

but it's very quick and there are much more guns than bb

[crisp scarab]

You dont have to, but you can save up and get stuff early

[hollow juniper]

212ish. don't remember, haven't played since they nuked california

[hollow juniper]

but again, based on a levelling system, which battlebit could also do well if it had more guns. then comes the problem of balance and power creep

[crisp scarab]

Yeah. Which is why the tiered system is good. So you can only unlock the later stuff at a higher level

And cant go with meta gun number 5 immediatly

[hollow juniper]

the ui is also a bit clunky. gotta scroll down past tons of locked guns in different categories to find the one you want

[crisp scarab]

But yeah, For any suggestions or Ideas relating to the tiered token system, I would be pretty open, since I can always edit it

Tiered token unlock system

There, so it's more obvious at a first glance

[crisp scarab]

So, should armor and such also be unlocked via tokens or just by level, like how it is now?

[sharp heath]

SYNTHETIK 2 has this token system but it's a very simple one.
