Platinum Boxes

So, here is an idea that I thought could enhance gameplay if the coding is possible: Platinum boxes.

When a player earns a platinum box, they get a temporary enhancement (for let's say most enhancements last about 7 days); this enhancement is chosen from random, and a player can only open one Platinum Box per week. (Of course, some enhancements would be more advantageous than others.)

Possible enhancements could be:
1. Base speed attribute is increased to 101 for 7 days.
2. Troop build time is halved for 3 days.
3. All crop oases occupied by player become level 10 for 7 days.
4. 2 "free" warps per day for 7 days.
5. Player receives 300 gold coins (the actual amount would depend on how much much platinum boxes cost).
6. VIP for 30 days/1 year (again based on how much the boxes cost.)
7. Attack/Speed/Defense/Attack all become 100 for 7 days.
8. All skills become level 10 for 7 days.
9. Minimum crop total for any city become 1 for 7 days. (Starve proof!)
10. Player may disband 1 sub that they own. (one time shot.)

Any way, you get the drift... I think it would liven the game up some, and Haypi would benefit by selling more coins. Good idea? Bad? Interesting?

Good idea but very unlikely. That would mean the loss of income for Haypi. Can't have that happen now could we.

Ok, then they could cost coins. How about 80, but they also appear like silver and gold chests? NPC for 80K cash, and cost 40 coins to open? There should also be some "dud" occurences, like a nugget off a silver chest.

Great idea. It bears looking in to

Lots of "duds" already. Seems like the majority to me. ;)

An intriguing idea. Haypi could easily increase profits by not putting in things such as free warps or VIP, which cost coins, but I stead those other suggestions: increasing an attribute to 100, or 101 even, maxing a skill for a day or two, making it I possible to starve for 24 hours. Then charge for them-100 coins to buy the chest, open with 50. On the other hand, it would just further increase the distance between coiners and this that don't, so they wouldn't be happy to see those that buy coin having even greater advantages.

I disagree with this idea as there are many players who do not coin to play. Coins were originally meant to provide a boost of help but when enhancements were installed it create a deprecation of class and cash for players willing to put out more than others. It's already annoying enough to open up the current silver and gold chests just to be reward with a nugget or some money.. So paying 50-100 coins for these platinum chests would simply be out of proportion of worth.C. It's an interesting idea but it could use some changes..

You can compete and win without coins, and without enhancements, and this would be no different. Yes, it becomes easier but it by no means guarantees victory.

i like the idea butmaybe they should cost 50 coins and 25 to open and only provide the sub delete and skill and res enhancement option :)
