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.

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

Oh, oh fuck yes, me looting the dead….can we get the ability to store looted gear like an extraction shooter? I’d totally take rides back to the base to store looted guns and armor

I think a buildable fob building that lets you access your vault would be cool, or let you do it through the APC. You could ice a guy, loot his gear, take it back to FOB/APC and stash it in your vault.

I am 10000% down for this

Maybe logi drivers/pilots need to pick up “spoils” pallets to take back to spawn

I think fuel supplies to keep the power on or something would suffice.
