maybe do something on the lines of what kong does or use to do

have rank 1 alliance get "x" amount of tokens and then do everyone in the top 20 or so get a low amount but still amount of tokens cuz u dont have to boost at all to get top 20 and in reality dont need to boost to win,
that way, u dont have to boost and can still get some sort of token amount for top 20 finish or whatever then ahve the rank 1 aliance get a larger sum and only alliance to recieve any.
i also like the idea about relics holders getting tokens. people would fight for relics

but with me only being back for like 3 eras so far, ive seen more "batte hugs" then in my years of playing before my break

I disagree and I will actually tell you why. A lot of new players who just joined BD count on getting 2cd or 3rd to actually get blues.

This will help 1 time winners stay winners, the game will have even more of the same people winning. Doesn't give anyone a chance of winning unless they boost reds which not everyone can afford.

Plus if you do the apply the token thing right now its not fair for the players who are trying very hard to get 2cd or 3rd in current eras. If you add the token thing, it should for all new eras.

This new token rule also makes the game way less competitive. Yes, it gives people a desire to come in first, but doesn't give people a desire to get 2cd or 3rd. Pretty much you are telling all alliances to just quit except for the ones who can get first.

BAD BAD IDEA!!! I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of less "hardcore" players quit because of this. Makes the game even more unfair!!

FINALLY..........

now the REAL BATTLEdawn will comeback....

no more PEACEdawn..

i agree 100% thanks admin ....

Just reposting what I had said on another tab.

To me diplomacy is a big part of the game, I prefer diplomacy over fighting. I have been playing BD since OC when medals/rewards were not given out. I came back since then and really enjoyed the medals/token incentives so got back into BD after being gone for over a year. Once this goes live I'm done with BD, goodbye BD

it does sound good on the face of it but i totally disagree, this will not be helpful in anyway. if u want to remove battle hugs get rid of TK players

Great update! No really, AWESOME! Totally NOT increasing the gap between boosters and nonboosters!

Let's say I have 5k blues. I play competitively, try and win. I get edged out by a red boosting alliance and dont get #1. It was extremely close, and we ended up #2. BUT, I used up all my blues now. The redboosters get ALL the blue tokens this era. Meaningless to them because they propably boost a very large amount of reds, but it means the end of competitive play most likely for the nonboosters. Sure, a select few could still end up winning the era even with nonboosting, but lets look at the MAJORITY of our small community.

How many do you think will stick around after losing all their blues? You are trying to incite competition. Might work for the first 2-3 eras where people still have their tokens. But what happens when those tokens dry up? Gone will be the newer players, gone will be a majority of the nonboosters. Another brilliantly thought out update!

Historically, monopolising something has always ended competition. Its basic capitalism. So let's give the people who propably do not need blues, monopoly over blues. The ones who win, will propably keep winning now. Era's will be more "predetermined" than ever

Yes, my point has propably been brought up before in this thread, I've read through quite a few posts. But I simply want to repeat all of that to make it OBVIOUS how bad of a update this truly is. By the time the admins realize that as well, it might actually be too late. Old time nonboosters might quit, newer players might quit (let's say i join BD today. As if im ever gonna instantly win a era. Why stick around when there is no chance of you winning any time soon, and not even a reward for your efforts?)

I've seen Korupt's arguments, and basically, not everybody is as pro as you are at this game. Your reasoning might work for players like you, but players like you are 1 in a million. Good luck playing a MMO with only a handfull of players. Only the "hardcore" players will actually benefit from this update. And this is the minority of all BD players.

You are trying to stop battlehugs, all you are doing is stopping battledawn.com, turning it into Kong.
People who will help will help regardless. Especially the top alliances, since they are close enough friends. For example, let me win this era, you get next era. Your update is now made pointless (except for the negative effects)

wreckages, UFOs, achievments, voting. all 4 of these are reliable ways of getting tokens, if you are active enough throughout an era, you will have enough tokens saved up for another era EASILY. i only boost about 600 blues on an average era, although i can boost reds, i most often choose not to, its not NEEDED its helpful, and only that.

You must have glanced over the text instead of reading it.

And calling ufo's, wreckages and achievement reliable ways of getting tokens is ridiculous. UFO's and wreckages don't ALWAYS give out blues. and the amount you get from UFO's is negligible.

Achievements are a 1 time thing. Or should I use a new account every other era, because medals are overrated right?

Sure, reduced tokens we get from voting means I only have to vote for BD like what, 2-3 weeks before I have a decent supply of blues? I will just play a era every month or so then!

That's the most common mindset BD players have (if they actually have the patience to vote everyday or even stick around). Yes, you are totally awesome and can win with only 600 blues. But if everyone could do that, there would have been no battlehugs in the first place now would there
