To CG: Order66 raid boxes proposal
Disclosure: I also posted this as a response to Meathead's post.
This is a forum-copy.
On the box tiers: you are heavily nerfing medium-large guilds with the 90mill and 130mill box switch. Also, for 1.500 GET3, guilds will need to reach 28 mill instead of 22.5 current.
So: proposal: MOAR boxes. Going up in 250 Mark 3 increments. (500 Mk3 increment proposal below)
Guild Million raid score | Mark 3 Auzor proposal |
10 | 500 |
12 | 750 |
14.5 | 1000 |
18 | 1250 |
22.5 | 1500 |
30 | 1750 |
41.5 | 2000 |
52 | 2250 |
68 | 2500 |
75 | 2750 |
90 | 3000 |
100 | 3250 |
110 | 3500 |
120 | 3750 |
130 | 4000 |
147.5 | 4250 |
167.5 | 4500 |
190 | 4750 |
215.5 | 5000 |
245 | 5250 |
263 | 5500 |
283 | 5750 |
304 | 6000 |
327 | 6250 |
351 | 6500 |
375 | 6750 |
390.5 | 7000 |
407 | 7250 |
424 | 7500 |
442 | 7750 |
460.5 | 8000 |
480 | 8250 |
500 | 8500 |
520 | 8750 |
This is not a straight curve, as I adjusted it to fit the current boxes & sometimes the newer ones.
(nearly always to player advantage; so I kept the 90 mill and 130 levels. But did go with the newer levels for the higher boxes).
The incline CG proposes is still weird: instead of gradually increasing, there are steeper slopes to the 'curve', that's a result from trying to fit in current boxes to an exponential tweaked curve.
This would come to 34 boxes.
If you halve this amount, to 17 boxes, it would be:

263 (CG: 245, but only 5250 Mk3) | 5500 |
304 | 6000 |
351 | 6500 |
390.5 (CG 375, but only 6770 Mk3) | 7000 |
424 | 7500 |
460.5 | 8000 |
520 | 8750 |
By adding in an extra 6 boxes, we get a much more gradual curve. And by intelligently keeping the reward levels at 90 mill & 130 mill, we don't have as much of a leap from 68 million to 98. (seriously, Meathead?)
This will already require plenty of new (yet to be farmable!!) characters.
I'd suggest using more color differentiation between the box tiers, like gear. So white -> green --> blue-ish --> (maybe red here?) -->purple --> gold.
This will benefit the large guilds especially. But the shifts on the 41.5 & 68 million (from 67.5 & 78.5) should be well appreciated by smaller guilds.
Medium-large guilds (ahem) would love a 110 mill box, and a 167.5 mill would be a stretch goal, maaybe.
The 265 mill box is now at 263 million still, but did get an extra 250 Mk3 tokens added.
Crucially, the steps on the hamster wheel for the whale guilds are now smaller, and much more gradual for everyone.
Auzor out.
