Hello! I was talking with some clanmates and got to thinking about loot variety and obtaining sought after rewards with consistency whilst increasing player counts in certain game types. Here's a list of my ideas I'll go through my thoughts about each one later: - A crucible variety playlist - Consistent bonus xp for less popular playlists. - Consistent viable pathway for sought after rewards, such as reds Here's my thoughts on how these interlink slightly. -Crucible variety playlist With this I was thinking of how on previous versions of halo games bungie developped there was massive variety, and just like with d2 you can select game modes, but some times I get the hankering for momentum control but its not available, a real shame in my mind! What I think could be doable is a variety/mixed crucible playlist of the various rotator modes. Whilst some gamemodes may not be as popular as others it provides variety and changeup to playstyles, feels fresher to get the game mode you like as well I would think. Thinking back to Halo I don't personally like oddball and yet it was included in a mixed playlist, it made me appreciate the gamemodes I like better and eventually I came to enjoy it slightly more as I kept playing it and figuring it out. -Bonus xp for playlists that have lower player counts A further motivation for playing this playlist or others that go below a certain threshold of player count, I think could come from a continuous guaranteed 2x XP and/or vendor rank progress within gamemodes, and further with coninuous losses there would be an increase in xp to garner further motivation. (nothing egregious, something like 50 losses in a row would next like 4x or 5x xp on next win or something). -Consistent loot pathways Another bit of motivation could come from something akin to trials but in a more casual manner where something like 10 wins in a row would net a guaranteed red weapon drop of a seasonal weapon. I think that some of this could also be applied to gambit losely, and with strikes, potentially tieing scoring highly in a row or completing within a certain time in a row? Let me know what you think. Thanks!
