Pretty simple suggestion: there's nothing really appealing out there for people to earn in Toribash once they've hit 20,000 Qi. It's clear that this lack of promotional opportunities for Veteran players has an impact in their activity, or complete lack thereof.

The closest thing custom belts can talk about "achieving" or "earning" in Toribash is of course "God Belt"; however, that small cosmetic change isn't enough because custom belts can simply change their belt name on a whim to "God Belt" without any problem. That, and one three letter word is hardly a consolation for 30,000 more games to be played.

If you're here to agree or disagree that this is in fact an issue, please post. Additionally, this thread could be used to brainstorm suggestions for what exactly would serve as an incentive for Custom Belts to keep playing.


Some "stream of consciousness" suggestions from the top of my head:

1) Exclusive colors for 30,000/40,000/50,000 games played.
2) Custom made 3D Objects for 30k/40k/50k games played.


It's fiscally reasonable to create incentive for players to move on for thousands and thousands more games. The longer they stay here in Toribash, the more likely they'll throw money at the game. And although it'll never happen under the current people who are in charge of this- it'd be leaps and bounds better if these Objects/etc. can't in anyway be purchased or transferred.

I think there should be some incentive for 20k+ Qi to keep playing but i don't agree with your "stream of consciousness" suggestions

1) Meh I guess, but I can't imagine up any Colours that look "cooler" then our current pure, void, demon and other high qi items. I know it sounds crude but.

2) I think the beard was made for this purpose. But that's for oldies so more recent customs (if they exist) would miss out so this could be nice. Maybe just give out a beard to all 30k/40k

3) I just think there would be to much Tc flying around but that's 1000% my opinion, free boosters would turn heads though.

What I would like to see is

•Custom belt lobby's, I would see this as a couple of old friends reminiscing and just chilling out and having fun, the whole point of video games

•An insignia of some sort ingame # would work quite nicely I think

• a list going down of the players with the highest qi

• maybe a green name in the forums

• Legendary handed out to all 50k and above? Not really sure about that one I'm kinda running out of ideas

1) I dont think there is really a point to that. We got ultimate and nobody goes there anyway.

2) I understand the oldschooler´s "+", that signifies that they have bought the game (I think), but this would just be like "Hey, look at this symbol, it is telling you that this person has played over 20k games, not like you could know that when looking at his belt in-match or with /stats"

3) Eh, maybe? I guess some people would like to see that.

4) As augans said and coupled with point 3) this idea is useless.

5)"Hey look, I am a legend. Why? Well I played 50k games thats why!"

Some new items for 30k QI plus would be nice I think and I don't see why anyone would complain.
TC boosters is just bad in my opinion.. if you have played 30,000 games + I'm sure you are good enough to earn TC without 'extra' help from a booster.

1) Exclusive colors for 30,000/40,000/50,000 games played.
2) Custom made 3D Objects for 30k/40k/50k games played.
3) Permanent TC boosters that increases after 20k/30k/40k/50k/etc. games played.

1) Nah.
Idk why but I dont like the idea

2) I agree
Custom 3d item sounds cool :O

3) I agree.
Maybe...
20k - 20 TC
30k - 50 TC
40k - 100 TC
50k - 250 TC

what about people who buy qi?

supported on most of your ideas I mean if I got a free booster for getting 30k id sure as hell go for it I mean who cant resist free money. making the boosters available past 30k make them a more "valuable item" so-to-speak. it would make some players want to go after the faster version of getting the booster (real money). and with that the game can pay for these new additions and add even more.

Try to turn Toribash into an E-sport. That'd motivate everybody, not just oldfags.

That is a different subject entirely. This aims to reward players who've spent hours and hours on Toribash to continue the game. Obviously if Toribash were an e-sport, more veterans would be playing now but that's just so off the mark of this discussion and deserves a whole load of threads not to cover how that'd even be possible.


@Nerfpls: What about people who purchased Qi? Those people, even if you don't like them because you think they didn't "earn" their belt are also some of the major money contributors which keep Toribash going. You sort of need them. In fact, if there were incentives for hitting high Qi, that probably increases Qi purchases, which increased money going into Nabi Studios, which increases how much actually will get developed by paid programming staff. Which is good because who wants 5.0 to look like 4.0 + some stupid changes nobody cares about?

We need a hat economy like the one in Team Fortress 2. Once you hit a million qi, you get a hat. If you bought qi, it'd be a different color.


Well, I honestly think it'd be a better approach. I don't want a pat on the back for grinding my teeth off beating up whitebelts in some public server just to belt up.
