I've got 19 medals that I"m sitting on right now which would bring me to level 62 I think....and 5000 is barely a half level for me right now.

By the time I'm able to earn another 13 medals, 5000 is really going to be a drop in the bucket.

I second this. I think I'm the only person close to it, and I'm at 72/75 with 2 incentives waiting to be cashed. The only way for me to do it is to miss 134 more CR, which is almost 5,000 CE anyways. 75 is a good goal to get, but its only 1/6th of a level at this point and its an expensive incentive with lower payoff.

I'm at 71, and have 2 more that I have yet to cash in as well. I'm going to have to let the "missed CR" start ringing up. I thinking the same as you wrt cost vs payout though.
 
I think the "God of War" medal for 5000 missions is kinda unrealistic too....10000 CE for 5000 missions done?

Need to have some medals and incentives left at higher levels. It'll be months till I get 5000 missions though.

Just wait for the level 6 medal incentives to come out just as we are starting to get bored!

Are there even that many missions left for you?

Or do you just keep re-doing all of them?  :P
 
Just a thought, part of what makes games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, and the rest of the evil zynga empire so addictive is the "collecting", and the "limited time" aspect...

Perhaps adopt somthing like this?

For example, unique, non-consumable items to "collect". Example, challenge coins, foreign kit, local foods, bazaar items, autogrpahs from morale tour celebrities, local animals, bad romance novels in care packags, whatever...

Complete a collection, get a bonus of some sort....

As for the "limited time" aspect, maybe limited time missions? Complete the mission in the alloted time frame, get a unique permanent item....

Having the ability to see what other people have collected through their game profile would make it more enticing, because people can "show off" their collections....
 
To add to that, some ideas for limited time missions, "other element" missions, example, deployment of different aircraft...

Example of limited time missions...

C-130

Mission 1 Load Aircraft

Mission 2 Fly to KAF

Mission 3 Conduct supply drop

Reward: C-130, reduces CR Regen time by "X" amount

Or play as another ISAF country for a limited amount of time?
 
Would it be possible to be able to "reserve" medal incentives?

For example: I get 125 Merit Points and unlock the level 4 medal for that, but I don't want to use the medal yet and I want to use my Merit Points. So what happens is I pay for half of the medal, use my Merit Points, and I can pay the other half to enable the incentive later.


Edit: To make this seem more realistic, we could say that the "reserve" feature is actually "Apply for Medal" and the wait time is how long the DND takes to process the paperwork.
 
Wow... so far behind on this thread!

Roll up the rim sounds like a good idea... maybe in the spring time, when Timmies does theirs. ;) Little known fact: I thought I might be ready to go live with the game when RutR was still on, so the original Timmies cup image was the fancy red one. Don't worry, it'll be back. ;)

On the PER, could you put what our current successful mission streak is?  Would be nice to see how close I am getting to possibly beating my record.  Thanks!

Good idea, it's now done... thanks! (I can't believe I missed it!)

A suggestion, not exactly for the game itself, but for the toolbar at the very top of the page, under Forums, would be to include a shortcut to the Afghan Ops Game Discussion forum, instead of to just the game itself.

(Sorry for the run-on sentence)

Understood and done... thanks!

airmich said:
In 'Stats', is it possible to have more?  Such as who has the highest successful missions, streak, most CR and MPs spent etc.  I just think it would be fun and interesting to see what else is out there put into one area instead of having to always click on individuals names.

Another good request, and done! And now you've made me a sad panda... take a look at the only spot I show up on the top stats!

Could you add a "Locations Locked Down" row to the PER? Thanks.

Done!

NavyShooter said:
On the OPS page, when you run your mouse over the items you need for a mission, it pops up a little window with a larger picture of those items.

Can we add 2 things to that window?

1.  How many of those items you have onhand

2.  Your skill level with that item.

Thanks,

NS

Done!

Hey Mike,

I was looking at the Medal Incentives, and I noticed for the 75 medal incentive, 5000 CE is kind of low. By the time I get that, 5000 CE will net me like 1/4 of what I need for promotion. It seems not really worth the effort to attain. Any tweaking you think you could do?

I've changed these incentives a bit. Yes, there is a tier 5, and it's 100 medals! :) There are 125 medals total.

Adding a 'Try Again' button to the AOR section like the training section would be useful.

Done!

Sorry, no layaways. ;) It would be fairly complicated to track that, and I don't think it would be used very often. The 'unspent merit points' line is probably the only viable case, and part of the challenge there is balancing the rewards of holding out against the benefit of using the points 'now'. :)

I think I'm finally caught up... thanks for all the great ideas folks! I didn't have time to implement all of them yet, but I have noted them down and hope to get to them someday. Although it feels like a tidal wave of requests at times, keep 'em coming! It'll help make the game better one step at a time.


Cheers
Mike
 
Your a busy man Mike, liking the new changes.

Cheers
 
Changes look good Mike, but I think maybe you were rushing with some of them:

Lognest Failed Mission Streak:

Would you have the same difficulty with CE implementation/layaway? :

To divide the CE granted from capturing an insurgent into 5 allowing us to press a button to 'cash in' 1/5 of the CE. (For level jumpers)

Not true mich, I was rushing with all of them! ;) The typo's now fixed, thanks.

Task, I'll have a look and see if something like that might be feasible. The 'simple' solution would be to drop the CE returns on int dossiers. ;) Don't worry, I won't do that.
 
Mike, on mission 2 at Arghandab, you should change the title to include a set of "quotes" around the word "friendly"....especially when one of the items needed for the mission is a first-aid kit!
