[dev1048] Please make Tags Stockpile

[Dfoley]

So 1+1+1+1+1 > 5? Please explain your math.

Let me post again to say that I DO WANT tags to stock pile, I just don’t see them letting you do that.

No you technically aren’t doing any more than you could POTENTIALLY do before.

Also theytak, you are incorrect in that you need to do nyzul to get captain, it is 50 assaults not 51. You only need to do 1 nyzul clear to get the 5th tag, and you don’t even need captain rank. After you finish all 50 assaults (before getting captain) if you have finished nyzul you will be given the extra tag.


The thing is:
150 days of never missing a tag is a lot different than what the average player will experience of missing one here and there, and that 150 days slides to 160-175 days.


Here is an example:
Average Joe has no static and wants to do assaults for captain rank
Day 1: He gets 1 tag,
Day 2-4: waits 3 more days to have 4 tags saved up
Day 4: He builds a pt (probably ~1hr ish to find 2 other people willing to help)
Does the 4 assaults (average 3-5 minutes per assault, they are all a complete joke now)

Day 5 -8: he forgets to go pick up a tag
Day 9: he goes and gets 1 tag
Day 10: he has 4 tags again but not enough time to play
Day 11: he does his 4 assaults and fails one because it is a retarded follow/escort mission that bugs out for no reason (uncommon at best, out of 50 assaults only came close to failing 1, and it was the escort the appakalu one)

Etc ... By the time he has finished his captain rank it has taken 60-65 days with 10 wasted tags that he will never get back

Same average Joe with tags stock piled:
Average Joe collects 65 tags
Does 5 assaults -> rank up -> 5 assaults -> rank up etc (given JP midnights id say at best you could do 5 one day 5 the next)

From start to finish, the same 65 days spent, however now he has an extra 10~15 tags that he can immediately use on Nyzul, potentially going from floor 1-100 with 14 tags and 5 other non short-bus-special players. While with the current system that’s another 10-15 days of waiting do at most 5 tags per run. (4 more realistically if you count that the average nyzul player doesn’t have captain rank).

That’s what I mean by speeding things up.


EG 2:
Joe has a static, and they only want to meet every Sunday at 5pm
that’s 3 wasted tags a week
and that 150 days for nyzul/assault blows up to 265 days with 100+ wasted tags
