We had discussion in blondes few days ago about conventions and game in general that I'd like to pass here and see other peoples opinion on.
After the previous temple that had us go trough timed missions, the con temple feels refreshing in a way that we can do whatever mission we want. We arent restrained into picking only one type of missions, and ignoring all the other options for the week. Starting to think the bigger issue that makes game feel like a chore (so people leave) is actualy the flawed desing of temples. They basicaly take one aspect of the game and have us focus primarily on it for 7 days. Solo and studio rankings are nice thing to go after and get highest you can for better rewards so that part works. What doesnt work is the temple "chores" we go trough. Lets summarize what types there are.
Point per successful x type of mission (3 point for strenght mission)
energy used on x mission (1 point per energy spent on time mission)
Point per duel (it was 3 pts per duel won, lately 1 per duel)
Collect pandas, coins, silk sheets (1 point per 1 item you get)
Experiece (1xp = 1 point)
Conventions (10 pts per 1 contribution you do to con overall)
Buy skill points (1 point per skill)
sell items (Points based on items quality)
1 point for each movie point
2 points per collected movie star
25 per completed party mission (so everyone can share 1st place in solo competition)
2 points for completed boss at party (any different then the one above?)
There is variety, exept times where we get same temple twice in span of few weeks.
But if for example this week we get "Points per successful strenght mission" and the next we get "spend energy on charisma" arent they the same thing?
To go back to conventions, if you are like me and dont care about those specific item rewards there is 0 incentive to get top placing and spend diamonds for it, just chip in what you can and you are good no matter if it passes or not. I'm not saying remove temples, but current way they are chosen is terrible. Feels like you have a circle with sections for each and just spin the thing and let rng decide. And throw in con's now and then to please the plebs (players).
I went trough temple announcements thread and here is the breakdown of all the temples we got so far
and how many times.
2 point per collected movie star - Once
2 points for each completed boss mission at a party - Once
Duels - 4 times
Experience - 4 times
1 temple point for each movie point - 4 times
25 per completed party mission - 4 times
Buy skill points - 8 times
Sell items - 9 times
Energy used on X mission - 9 times
Collect pandas, coins, silk sheets - 9 times
Convention - 12 times
Point for successful X mission - 15 times
