Should bonuses be given to the top 3 players on each teams leaderboards?

Should bonuses for players scoring higher be given the extra bonus for doing better than others?

Example: First Place: 500 Credits, Second Place: 250, Third Place: 100

it’ll only encourage xpfarm

Interesting concept. I feel like this will encourage players to get more points so they can top score so they will revive, do obj’s and more. Sadly some may take it the wrong way, the TDM way.

Eh I meant to go for mixed after thinking it over. It’d be nice but at the same time why bother? Bad players are going to be bad regardless of if you dangle a bonus in front of them.

I’d rather just scrap the focus on pubs and just play 5v5 with its own set of rewards.

Isn’t the bonus that they already have more EXP and get slightly better credits?

(uWotm8-AU) #6

That’s a great idea.

Any way to persuade people to play in a team friendly manner should definitely be implemented.

@Jostabeere a bonus means to receive something for achieving something, so the top players receiving more exp than others in the match isn’t a bonus, and since when have the top 3 from each side earnt more credits?

@Jostabeere more xp =\ more credits.

It is so easy to be on the top of scoreboard. There are ways to play around the system and thus making teams spamming all medics.

Well…I noticed that players who are at the top of the scoreboard get more credits than players who are under them.
Source: Playing multiple rounds in 1 room with a streamer and compared my income to his income.
Technically every player who was in a game from the beginning should get the same base fee without missions or boosters. It wasn’t the case. We both played the same time. I received 190 Credits while he received 228. He had more points than me.
Edit: I had to confirm this. So I asked @FalC_16 to play a game with me from the begin. We both played the same time from the beginning to the end of the game. He received 49 CR, I got 55. I won the game. So I am pretty sure winners get a slight bonus.
Would be nice if @RazielWarmonic could ask devs about it and confirm/reject this.

No, pubstompers will always get that reward and noobs will never succeed and get rewards if this happens, making it unfair.

(KorpKyuuSama) #11

It depends. Like something visual, so it doesn’t get out of hand.

If you top your team the name will appear in golden letters in the final score board xD

(RyePanda) #12

+100 credits to top in combat xp, support xp, and game mode xp. Make it so if a player wins 2 categories, he gets the reward for one and the player who got second in the other category gets the reward.

(Daergar) #13

Nonsense, everyone must get a trophy or feelings will be hurt. It is not polite to be better at anything, have you learned nothing?

Also, imagine the day that winning would actually bring with it a noticeable bonus of some sort. Hah.

(Sorotia) #14

Isn’t getting the most XP already a bonus?

I can’t see this being any good, will just encourage people to farm more and will work to kill what little teamwork there is at times, in this team based game.

(MilkyBear) #15

How about a board that show Best Objective Specialist, Best Assault, and so on, … Or even a small vote for the best player after match (like overwatch).

(Naralin) #16

It could be nice indeed but pretty much unfair because some mercs just farm XP better than others.
As an Aura player I have to admit that sometimes I just play awfully and still get 1st on my team thanks to healing stations.

If you have players with a little knowledge of the game you don’t even need to place them correctly, they will just run into them to heal.

It might lead to merc stacking.

(srswizard) #17

I’d support this, if score gains weren’t incredibly imbalanced for specific mercs.
All it takes for Skyhammer, as an example, is spamming ammo packs in the vicinity of allies, every time the cooldown allows.

(DMaster2) #18

Oh god Aura for days. No thanks, it’s a bad idea.

(Aazhyd) #19

In a team based game, this idea is horrible. There are several ways to farm XP and we definitely don’t want people to ignore what’s going on and just farm to get the top score.

(hikikimori) #20

I’ve always gotten more credits and xp in games i’ve topped the scoreboard.
