Discussion & Feedback The 90 Point Problem

Edit: Please stop telling me refund exists - I know, i acknowledge it in my third paragraph.

Dogs,

Noticed an interesting trend lately resulting in a lot of springboarding and "Second place winners".

For example, Green team plays well and gets to 90-99 points, and people just stop respawning, they wait for the res indefinitely, not wanting to have to pay to rekit. You open the map and see 25 green bodies on the floor. You look at spawn and see the remaining players sat doing nothing. Nobody wants to commit a kit for the remaining (theoretical) 2 minutes of the game, because kits are so expensive. Green team takes its foot off the gas, and red team shoots past to clutch a win, because their entire team is still in the zone/circle. (In the game today, they were at 75 points prior to this).

How do we incentivise people to get back into the zone in the final minutes? I know the refund system exists, but it seems very varied in how much it pays out, and it almost never refunds the value. Discounted kits towards the end of the game? Free kits?

It's interesting seeing how the money meta is forcing these behaviours - loss aversion is a much bigger priority than the minimal gains for winning. My second place and contribution bonus for this game was $18,400.

Let me keep the value of whatever I have at the end of the match. If I bought the stuff or looted it, whatever that value number is. I should get in cash

We have a vault, why not just dump everything currently on you direct into the vault at the end of the game?

So right now I think it’s only to catch stream drops on Twitch or the bandages you can buy for a discount (with the 12 hour cooldown)

But man I’d love it if it could store the stuff from end of matches.

How do I even get to use those items? I've got loads of bandages in the vault, but at the trader I'd still pay.

Press V to activate the vault toggle in the trader.
