Have you ever felt of wanting to get free gold boxes from campaign? Today I will showcase a topic on regarding getting 5-6% chance of getting a gold box in missions

But this method is entirely different from getting gold boxes on the map in campaign. Unlike the "getting gold boxes after missions", you get the gold or silver, or even mythical boxes within the missions!


After you finish the missions, you know those light brown things you get in the mission that contains either of the following bonuses:
- 500 SM
- 1000 SM
- 100 XP
- 200 XP
- Normal Item Box

But the remaining HP is the one factor upon your chances on getting a box.

300 hp remaining - .5% of Silver Boxes
400 hp remaining - 3% for silver boxes
500 hp remaining - 5% for Golden Item Box
600 and up - 6% for mythical item box or gold item box

Cheat Engine users? There should be some sort of automatic "Cheater Spotters". ?

- end -

Please do vote, thanks! :)

PS. The stuff I said in the close parenthesis are jokes. (excluding "Thank you")

It's a good idea on paper, but with the healing drone and repair kits getting 6% is too easy. Also campaign missions are infinite, this can be just as easily abused as trading.

By making the %s low you're essentially drawing out the time it takes for people to farm the items that they would've normally payed for. All this is doing is moving the problem.

You are discouraging exploits by making the chances slim, but anyone determined enough could easily get a free gold box in one afternoon, all by smashing the easy missions, and letting their health regenerate vs the last buggy. Do that process twice a week (Saturday and Sunday, when most people have free time) for 52 weeks, and that 104 gold boxes worth of tokens Tacticsoft just gave away. For free

Maybe have it so these chances only occur in missions bought with keys, but still that's a lot of missions.

You do know that not all players have a Healing Drone Hmm? This cannot be abused as the percentage seems low. And by your ways of seeing "People determined enough could easily get a gold box", seems not true.

Look, not all people will have 300-600 hp remaining in a mission. I mean think about it! Not all players are experienced enough to make a mech that will have 600 hp remaining in a mission. The highest hp I had remained was roughly around 583 hp. Although there aren't any guarantees that the Campaign AI's will have low damage weapons.

This is also one way to motivate players to work hard for something you want. Not some cows opening up they're wallets and buy all the golden boxes they want. Consideration for players who will literally do anything for free Golden Item boxes.

Fine, since you want everything to be balanced, I will do tweaks.
1. Only 10 Infinite Missions can be done in a day.
2. No repair drones or kits allowed

PS. Nothing is "Gave away". You earned it. There aren't gold boxes you can get for free. You technically paid your time on getting a gold box. And not all players are that lucky on these type of things.

This isn't about me wanting this to be balanced. This is about Tacticsoft losing money when people realize they can use their time to gain gold boxes instead of tokens.

You need to understand that the implementation of this will just push potential customers away.

"Why would I ever spend money when I can grind gold boxes in campaign for free?"

I say, make the chances 1% when someone beats a mission with more than 500 health left.
