There have been some threads recently about Cbill income and daily missions and such.

I would like to discuss these in relation to premium time. PGI wants to keep rewards lower to push people to spend money on mechs and such while players want increased rewards and/or missions.

I think they should just make premium time more worth it.

Cbill bonus on premium time should be doubled or tripled. XP bonus is okay right now but could be increased as well. You can also tie missions or just better rewards for the missions to premium time.

I have several friends who I play with who do not even bother with premium time because it is not enough bonuses for them. If the rewards were increased then more people would buy premium time. Then those people would play much more as like any game once you have bought premium time you make a commitment to focus on that game.

Thoughts?

Perhaps improve hero mechs as well, seeing how one hero can cost more than some entire games...

im al for more small incentives to play.some kind of "dailies", little things to do every day. could be made like the achievements and for sure should be some fun/troll things, too.

From nonsense like "write all-your-base-are-belong-to-us in all chat" to things like pheonix down or kill 3 kuritas. Make a kill with an LBX or don't get damage before you kill and so on.

Little things that give a little bonus, be it some consumable crap or some bucks or whatever.
of course should be random for every player, no need that everyone floods the chat on the same day lol.

They have this in Heroes of the Storm, they give gold for certain daily quests...

"Play 2 games as a Warcraft hero"
"Play 3 games as a Starcraft hero"
"Win 3 games"
"Play 8 games"
"Play 3 games as an Assassin hero"
"Kill a Treasure Goblin"
etc.

I just want premium time to only count when I am playing the game. Would love to buy it but I'm not going to buy something I will only use in spurts.

[Kira Onime]

I'd like for them to give us more activation options.
Currently you only have 2 choices, "30 days" or "all of it".

This is how premium time works in every game I have ever played and should stay the way it is. Otherwise premium time would be more expensive.

Let's just try to make premium time better.

That's still much better than the original option of all or nothing.

If you play a lot its worth it....if you dont its not. This is the way every game i ever played was like. If you are here often subscribe or get premium time/currency. Otherwise just grind it out....letting it waste away for weeks when you dont play is silly but if you activate it use it.


I dont see this changing much and they are not going to just double the cbill increase....dont you know anything about Paulconomy?

Also, check the site before you start a thread. Literally like 3 of these already rolling around....and the one someone commented on how if it only ran when you played and you bought 720 hours and only played one hour a day thats 720 days of premium time. You would literally buy it once and be set for life......

How is any business suppose to make money with that kinda of model for a product? It may be great for us the consumer but the business would just pull that item off the shelf once the sales went down.

There is not much you can do to it without either making it more expensive or dropping the Cbill gains for those who dont use it which is a much worse option IMO.

I'd still like the option to activate only 2 weeks at a time.

Also, read my post before saying something I didn't.

My post is about making premium time better and more worth it.

I dont want any pause in premium time. I don't think it is needed and am happy to pay for premium time if it is worth it.

Increase the premium time bonuses and more people will pay for it. More importantly it will give people more reasons to play if they have premium time enabled.

Honestly compared to other F2P games the premium time here is a complete joke... all it does is give shorter grinds? Really?

Total waste of money.

Sounds pretty typical to me.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Wanna make Premium more worth it? Improve the base amount its increasing. A 100k avg +50% is only 150K. But, if the avg was 150K+50%, that is like 225K. Or, a 200k avg for 300K with prem....

Of course, if they wanna make Premium time +100%, I wouldnt complain. Might make it actually worthwhile then. Then payouts might feel a little less like...I did all that for this!?

[2MyBalls]

I would be happy if premium time would get a "buff"

but be realistic... we don´t have any insigth in the business-plan, or the income of PGI. They will have the numbers, what is more benneficial for them.

I only hope PGI realise, that if they make us happy, we can make them also happy .... like in a good relationship

[crashlogic]

I think premium time would be fine if it only ran in game time. In otherwords the clock should only run when playing.

you missing the psychological part of "premium-time"

Premium is not only to reward you, its also a good tool for a developer to bind you to the game... if you not playing = you get the feel, throwing money out the window... noone wants to feel that

[One Medic Army]

When you compare MWO's premium to most other online F2P games with premium time (WarThunder, WoT, etc...): MWO's premium time is crap.

[LordNothing]

i dont like that you have to either buy in small blocks and loose value or commit to a month of playing and buy a full package. i like the idea of banked premium time but as i understand it you can only buy it as part of a mech pack.

i think more bank size options would be nice. id like to see 7-day and 3-day banks available in a set of 10 or so.
