Really the main reason I play on Kit is because of events. I basically gave up on going into casual primarily because of the reasons that @IceBreaker420 (so cute id recommend kissing him) pointed out in his thread.
A lot of the times I find myself logging on to play an event such as Find the Button (Still remaining unbeatable on the map ftb2, don’t @ me), because I find a lot more joy in it than playing in casual. Only problem is that I have to wait for some media member or higher to host the event for me because, let’s face it, the events are expensive and these guys get to host it for free.
To this day I cannot understand why such a dominant part of the gamemode requires (or rather costs) so much to be played. There is absolutely no reason for me to spend 450 tokens for 30 seconds of TNT Run where I lose tokens no matter whether I win or lose (Winning gives you 250 tokens [= 200 tokens loss], losing gives you none [= 450 tokens loss]). What’s funnier is that some events that cost 700 tokens don’t give you any tokens at all (Solo Dodgeball, one of the most popular events, being a primary example of that).
What is even harder for me to understand is how come that events that require a rank to be hosted cost more (not even by a small amount, 250 tokens. Almost enough to buy a kit pass with it) than events that don’t. How does it make sense that not only does one have to pay IRL money to host an event, but also pay more than the average price for it?
Now that I’ve stopped crying, here are some event-related suggestions:
- Lower event prices significantly. I believe around the 150-200 tokens mark would make a lot more sense in order to get an actual profit if I were to win the event.
- Host events automatically every 15-20 minutes if an event has not been hosted in that time.
- Remove/Reduce the event cooldown. It’s so annoying and some people are abusing it by hosting events with a long cooldown (such as Sumo who has a 10 minutes cooldown if I’m not wrong) so other people cannot host the events they want.
- Provide discounts for higher ranks to host events for fewer tokens.
- Add token prizes for all events that don’t have it yet (Dodgeball, Find the Button, War [perhaps give fewer tokens here as it’s a team effort], etc).
