I don't understand why we can't submit the items like in a project so we don't have to sandbag them in our inventory.

Trade Weapons for Weapons: Why not add some interesting trades in a 2nd section below where you can trade 1 purple + 1 blue + 1 green weapon for 1 tempest? You're still trading down but you're getting something that you want. The durability of the tempest would be the lowest of the durability of the weapons submitted.

It's kind of dull that every major reward requires the exact same materials. Why not have us collect something more niche. The 3 ducks for 1 turbine is a step in the right direction except... most players don't like bird city.

Give Trinkets more use: Imagine if you could trade 2 Film Reel + 2 Snow Globe + 1 Lance Mixtape for a moderately kitted Bettina 4 and 25 gold coins. I think that would be a step in the right direction.

Nomad Trader Loyalty Rewards: Imagine if each time you complete a trade with the nomad envoy you score loyalty points. Eventually you can trade your loyalty rewards for some cosmetics, Patches to put on your backpack or jacket.... country flags... clan flags... or Accessories (trinkets w special abilities) that you store in your base in speranza which give small passive buffs that do not effect pvp. Max 3 active accessories per player. Example: 1) An accessory giving a passive buff of 1 extra inventory slot for any blue or higher tier augment (rare). 2) Crawling speed increased by 10% (uncommon). 3) Basic material stacks improve from 50 to 55 (rare). 4) Each ferro shot has a 25% chance to deal double damage to arc (epic).

Imagine if there were solo AND squad based daily quests. Share your ideas below.

I am wondering how to introduce quests that cater to different difficulty levels. Maybe after completing a normal Daily Quest a harder elite version can unlock. Or perhaps players can choose between normal/elite. The quests can scale if you choose to play with 2 or 3 players. For each player it adds 50% more for the conditions rounded up.

Examples of Solo Elite Daily Quests:

-IOR (In one round): Deal 3000 damage to arc with the Ferro, and destroy 3 fireflies. (3 player version would be 6000 damage and 6 fireflies)

-IOR: Deal 3500 damage to arc with the rattler and destroy 3 fireflies and 2 comets.

-IOR: Deal 1000 damage to arc with blaze grenade traps and explosive mines.

-IOR: Destroy 15 flying arc with shotguns during a night raid or electromagnetic storm.

-IOR: Deal 100 damage to bastions or bombardiers with pop triggers, and destroy 5 hornets with any weapon.

-IOR: Destroy 20 arc with the hairpin. Ticks do not count.

-IOR: Call 2 supply drops + deliver 2 field crates + destroy 5 hornets.

-IOR: Destroy 30 flying enemies with the Kettle or Ferro and Deliver 1 field crate.

-ITR (In two rounds consecutively): Deal 6000 damage with Grey weapons to any Arc. Destroy 2 rocketeers with grey weapons.

Examples of GROUP Elite Quests:

-IOR: Destroy a Turbine without it being dealt damage by any deadline.

-IOR: Destroy 1 bombardier, 1 bastion, 1 vaporizer with No teammate dealing damage with hullcrackers or wolfpacks or deadlines.

-IOR: Destroy 60 arc with Hairpins. Ticks do not count.

Players who complete these quests could gain Quest Points and eventually redeem them for stash upgrades like basic material stacks going from 50 to 55 to 60 etc. Or other meaningful rewards such as Trinkets that are placed in your Speranza Hub and offer very small passive buffs that do not effect pvp. Like a trinket that improves your inventory space by 1 slot on any augment. The rewards matter the least here… I’m sure the devs could come up with something.

Please share your ideas!

Let’s face it... currently the trials are not really that engaging or rewarding and many of us choose to do them as a means of creating our own endgame. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was additional reward or incentive to perform well in the trials and there was legitimate excitement for getting really high scores? Because currently all you need to maintain hotshot is a decent score each week. Nothing really high reaching. So lets come up with something more rewarding. We can keep the current rewards but add something more:

Imagine this: Based on how high you rank in your division 1-50 (no trial points for 51-100) you gain trial points and prize points. Also the points are higher based on your division. With daredevil, hotshot and cantina legend offering the most points.. You can redeem the trial points eventually for stash upgrades and other passive buffs to your stash or inventory.

Examples of rewards for trial points: Upgrading your metal stacks from 50 to 55 to 60 to 65 (same for other basic mats). Upgrading crude explosives stacks from 10 to 12 to 14 to 16 etc. Upgrading advanced mech/electrical from 5 to 6 to 7. Complex Weapons 3 to 4 to 5. And so on.

Examples of rewards for prize points: Loot boxes that contain misc items but also contain entire high tier loadouts. The loadout takes up only 1 inventory slot and you can examine it to see the contents. You can then choose to ‘’open’’ the loadout and then it shows up in your inventory screen. The loadouts cannot be traded or given to other players and they are tied to your account.

Experimental idea: Imagine if in the loot boxes you could also get an exotic variant of existing weapons? Basically a more powerful version but with meaningful balance built in. In order to prevent cheaters and dupers from filling the economy with these weapons we can make them Unsharable just like the loot boxes themselves. Cannot be given to other players. And the weapons themselves will not be too powerful but still provide a meaningful upgrade and mostly towards white, green, blue weapons. And any direct damage buffs could be towards ARC only.

Examples of exotic weapons:  A ferro where every 4^(th) shot is an explosive round. When that round connects with an arc it detonates after a 2 second delay to deal double damage . VS players: the 4^(th) shot deals just regular damage and no explosion. A rattler which has a larger clip and higher armor penetration. It also tags every arc enemy it hits and the tag remains for 15 seconds for your whole team to see. Note: No imbalance for pvp.

If you have other ideas or variations please share! Whether for the rewards, passive buffs, or weapons or anything else.

does u/embark u/theFinals have any clue how smurfing is killing their game?
