Quest idea: Contract from Below
Posted: 26 Dec 2016, 05:40
Hey guys,
A friend of mine had an idea today (for quests) that I liked and would be willing to implement if there is enough interest. I'll quote from my friend here:
"It would be a loan system for tournament entry. It would add a bit more roleplay to Quest mode, and be useful too, I think. It could be named "Contract From Below" or some other appropriate reference (I was hoping there was a Goblin Banker or similar but couldn't seem to find such a card). Essentially this would appear as another button on the Tournament screen when you have a tournament selected. Clicking on it, you would be offered to have a portion of the entry fee paid for you, for a drawback.
A drawback that makes sense, would be for the portion you were "loaned" would then be added to the cost of the next tournament you wanted to enter (potentially + a percentage). As for how much the portion is, I think it would be nice if it were simply the difference between the entry fee and your current credit amount (that way you're always guaranteed to be able to enter at least one tournament). But there are various ideas that could work (for example, maybe it's just half the entry fee, for a simple solution). Or maybe there's a cap of how many credits would be offered. Lots of stuff could work.
So basically, the reason tournaments are expensive is because they supposedly contain valuable cards. So you're gambling that you can indeed get enough valuable cards from that tournament, that you'd be able to sell them and pay off your loan in order to be able to enter future tournaments. Probably you wouldn't be able to take out more than one loan at a time (or even potentially one loan per quest, period). Again, many ideas could work."
Let me know what you think, guys.
