Toribash
Original Post
Create Incentive for Veterans to Play
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 rlly like this idea.
After 20k games each 1k games gets u somthing, achievement or somthing unlocked.
This would bring the fun at the begining.
Maybe 10k games is way to much for people to play. Imagine u check your qi and it's like 20647 games, at that point u know u are going to get somthing at 21k game so u will play a few more games. u hit 21k games, play a few more games for fun and realise u have a little for 22k games and play a little longer to get that. and so on and so on.
Small reward for each 1k games, maybe achievements or somthing...i like this suggestion.

my suggestion is to forget everything you once knew about custom belts and beyond. Forget TC as a whole giving someone who knows how to get infinite pools of tc MORE TC for free is just going to bankrupt the game i say once you reach custom that the game changes in ways like:

-New Never before seen DLC that comes once every time the game updates such as a custom member only voted 3D item (a 3D item that has been voted on by the party of existing Custom and higher Members) you have to be or have been and are higher than a custom belt to obtain this DLC when the a update comes. or maybe it should come once a year or once every 6 months as a message that is sent out to all custom belts.

-The ability to have Custom Move sets (in a menu option you can make a 1 frame move/ moves that are hotkeyed to a letter, number, symbol, or a combination of them) this reward lowers the chance of things like accidental spacing or missclicks). The number of Move Sets you can own increases on every thousand games. NOTE: this should be something that -so it does not interfere with the normal controls- is activated by pressing and holding a certain key like the Control key (ex: Ctrl+A+B= kronos kick) then pressing it in that order again will undo the command and the joints will return to their most recent positions.

-Access to a Custom and higher only Forum board were the link to is located in every clan forum and on the toribash Forum front page along with the toribash website.

-One free month of ToriPrime and VIP only granted upon reaching the exact number of matches needed for custom belt. It should come as a yes or no option that is sent in the message on the forum telling you that you reached custom. The message should be able to be accepted at any time and if denied is not granted again. The message should have both a "do you want to deny the free month of ToriPrime and VIP" option and upon clicking it a "are your sure you want to deny the free month of ToriPrime and VIP". It should also have a password check to make sure that you are who you say you are when you select Yes or No to the TP or VIP. (this is to prevent people from "accidently" leaving their computer on and someone sabotaging their choice of TP and VIP and needing a GM to obtain it for them) This message is a one time only deal making it hard for someone to want to try to alt their way to getting free TP or VIP and even if they do it will just be handing more money to the game* but i doubt that anyone will sit there and do another 20k+ games the hard way.
*QI booster or by buying Qi

Not all these ideas should be inherited at once, if at all but i believe that something that is new and improved will keep long time members and bring back others. Keep watch on this Post more and or Better ideas may be coming soon. If you have something you would like to point out or add to the list of ideas Quote this message. Ive tried really hard to make the Idea of Free TP and VIP and the Custom Move Hotkey fool proof so it can not be tampered with.

Your argument would make sense if implementing this very simple suggestion took even 30 minutes of time away from developing gameplay features.

This has absolutely nothing to do with developers. I'm not asking for hampa, dranix, and the gang to stop working on 2v2 Toribash so we can get rainbow colored hair. Just asking the item forgers to do the job they volunteered to do and slap a Qi sticker on it.

In the time it takes to even read through half of this thread the idea could already be implemented. Seriously there is zero reason to not just put a 30,000 Qi, 40,000 Qi, 50,000 Qi, and 60,000 Qi requirement on some of the next colors/hairs/objects coming out all the time and or the ones that are done but just not released.

I'm sure they could do it easily but I think people have agreed in this thread that adding new items is not going to keep or encourage veterans to play. At this point you are practically begging for a new free item as a reward for all the noob bashing you have done.

Read more carefully fist, these items will not be free or gift. U will have to buy them once u hit the qi limit.

Fist is still right. adding new items wont bring people back. and the market for those items will be very small.
Most people arent that high in qi, and the people who are dont want to play this game.

They wont be like "oh they added an item that takes 30qi, let me start playing the game so i can buy this unnecessary item."
this is the last time im posting on this thread because frankly i feel as tho im being ingnored. I think instead of just giving to the older players we give to the new as well because it will be them that will be most likely to fund the game.

The first prize should come when you first start the game it should be something that is a 1 time only and non-transferable thing (as to not have people making alts to obtain this privilege or item)

Then the next prize should be at 10th dan. after 10th dan there has to be something that can be given to you that can give you a better tie to this game making you want to become a long time member. This prize is most important because in Toribash this is most players 'Mid-life crisis' point, the point in which they decide is it worth it to stick around and play another 10k games to make it to custom.

Then for things after custom look for my most recent post other than this one. anyway thanks i like this idea but i hope the people who actually have some decent sense in them win it out here AKA: anything that does not have TC mentioned in it. it will bankrupt this game to have so much TC in the public with things like betting servers were money gets spread evenly at times.

I for one, wouldnt play an extra 10k games because of a "non transferable item". Giving people free stuff isnt the way to do it. The only way is to add something more to the game.

When i started the game, i had so much fun losing or winning, didnt matter. It was the new aspect of it, and at this point, i only find enjoyment from making money.

Maybe its just me, but i wouldnt play this game 10k more fights for an item.

(im kind of repeating myself multiple times it feels like on this thread.)

Reward for loyalty that you have to pay for makes no sense at all.
"Hey guys we know you played our game a lot, so we've made an item that costs a shitton of TC so that you could buy some TC from us or Jsnuff and then get it!"



Let me explain why adding something that only 20 players will buy is not a "win win".
Having an exclusive color for custom belts and higher isn't good because it will be hardly used both if it's awful or awesome. If it's awful we have custom belts whining and refusing to get it, if it's awesome we get everyone else whining and constantly asking us to sell it for USD (which will eventually end up with us selling these items to anyone, rip exclusiveness).
Having custom belt only objects is way better, but it still requires IFs' work which is a bit harder than making videos on YouTube. Most of the items that are "ready but not released" are dedicated to some theme and there are reasons why they're not public yet. Picking them and giving to custombelts would mean less events with exclusive prizes for the sake of several custom belts who can't live without new stuff. And it will also mean no profit from these items for Nabi.

Seriously, why are you begging for items that hard? I've asked IFs a few days ago if we could have something to reward old players and they were fine with that, but can you wait until it is at least decided whether to make new item(s) or choose something that we already have? It's not like there are more active custom belts now than there were a year ago, and back in those days nobody whined because of not being even more "special".
I still like very much goughys idea. Get some kind of reward at each 1k games after custom belt ( achievement or item or idk, somthing ). This would make people play, because they are geting somewhere. Idk what this could be but i find this a good idea. Maybe make 10 new achievements for 20k to 30k, and 2 new achievements for 30 to 35 and 35 to 40 and them over again from 40 to 50 and 50 to 55 and 55 to 60k games.
And maybe some bigger reward at 30, 40, 50, 60k games.
Or unlock certain stuff, maybe discounts at some items, or new features. If all these ideas could be mixed in a intelligent way i'm pretty sure something cool would come up and expand the game after custom belt.

Sir, toribash is dead after u hit custom belt, there is nothing. I remember i was very excited when i was about to hit master belt and then custom belt and then....blank.
