Proposal of Kudos system
Icon changes
- each player has rank icon which is based on level and elo. It should have about 10 possible shapes for level and about 4-5 possible colors for "elo/league"
- each player has a "dude" icon assigned randomly and "avatar" icon assigned randomly
- self "dude" has a teal glow, "friend" dude has a pink glow - for faster orientation in lobby
- admins and developers have access to special dudes
- after the player name, cup can be displayed if player is in top 10 and special reward icon will be displayed for those who donated any kudos
Kudos
- kudos are form of currency, given out in return for donations or contributions
- kudos allow you to get special (cosmetic) rewards
Getting kudos
- donating 1€ gives 10 kudos
- specific tickets or tasks can be given a kudos value by the lead developers, the person to complete them gets the kudos
- players can otherwise be awarded kudos for contributions if core devs agree (majority/unanimous depending on value)
Kudos milestones
- if you donated any number of kudos, you will get a special icon next to name
- if you donated at least 50 kudos, icon will be bronze and avatar will be framed in bronze
- 100 kudos = silver, all unit unlocks cost 0 XP (and no level limit) + ability to change and use special lobby icons and ingame avatar
- 300 kudos = gold, all unit and comm unlocks cost 0 XP + ability to upload own lobby icons and avatar
Rewards
Kudos Only rewards
- Banner flag for commander - 100 kudos
- Requires implementation
- Overhead halo icon - 25 - 100 kudos
- New colours/effects for commander weapons - 50 kudos
- Green gauss, red lasers, black EMG etc. Can have minor stat variations for visual difference but no truly unique weapons.
- Custom commander skins - 100 kudos
Kudos or XP rewards
- 1 extra profile for commander - 25 kudos or 25,000 XP
- unique weapons - 25-50 kudos or 20,000 - 50,000 XP
- unique comm chassis - 100-250 kudos or 100,000 - 250,000 XP
To unlock one of each would require 25€ or 19€ and 60,000 XP. To unlock 20 unique weapons (One for each weapon type, 2x for both weapon slots), 5 chassis, 6 skins and 6 extra slots would cost 200+150+120+60=560 kudos/53€.
