new Darwin Permanent boost and new avatars

[Iraqmonkey]

I have to be honest about the boost. TOO BIG. way way way way way way too much. you guys are pushing the envelope too much, too fast. the game has become extremely lopsided. Smaller player can't compete anymore. You should ease up on the attack/def boosts (After you even it out for attackers, of course) maybe bring back a specialty avatar outfit that boosts energy and one that gets high discounts on purchases. You could focus on making a Gang War avatar too or a "Brawler" that gets boosts in the brawls only. Even it out a little for attackers and spread out to the other branches. From a business stand point you could bring in a ton of revenue by getting mission toons and Gang war toons interested in buying FP's. Better yet how about a specialty toon that has huge bonuses for working the Hit list. IE +20% attack vs hitlist target, +50% critical vs hitlist target. Call him the Executioner or punisher +50% critical vs hitlist target

I can help come up with some designs if you need them

I agree with everything you said except for what I quoted here. This game has been extremely biased toward defense toons from the beginning. The numbers do not work. How else do you explain a pure defense toon getting beat by an attack toon that is half the level, with less LE, and lower numbers on the equipment page?

LE items for specialized toons, i.e. for gangwar-, defense-, attack- or brawlertoons will cause playdom sell less LE items.
That is why they come up with new extreme boosts for everybody.
The only problem is that this will make the non-LE boosts a bit more worthless each day, like the class bonus or territories

Maybe it would be a good idea to make new classes / territories - maybe even sell them as LE items!?

An outfit for the Avatar that caters for Lower prices on purchases, I dont think the Avatar has anything to cover the cost of Armour, Melee or henchmen....and how about with that outfit, you give us something related to a stamina boost and a gangwar boost......start covering areas of the game that you have introduced but have sadly neglected with the Avatar gear, because you keep favoring attack and defense items....so its high time to do one Avatar set that steers completely away from this...there are a lot of Gang war toons in the game, a lot of Brawlers and who would say no to getting further discounts on the equipment??

Attackers and defenders spend money on the game...mission toons dont...do the math

[AussieGurl]

Maybe Playdom has some method to their madness with increasing the Defense items to the point they have, yes it may be lop sided, but it is also a good way to make the bot users a little more impotent...it will make using a bot not so appealing if most (if not all) of the attacks on other players are losses. When someone puts another players ID# into a bot to gain an advantage in an attack, thinking they will get all wins while they go play other games, or do missions.....only to find they incurred nothing but losses....then do you think using a bot will keep its appeal??

People have been complaining a long time about how the game has been screwed since people started using bots, well I think this is a great way to combat it.

And Jay....Mission toons may not spend money on the game, but a lot of gang war toons do...and besides....if things were offered up that offered items more to the needs of mission and gang war toons.....dont ya think it might just get them to open their purse strings a little to invest in those items???? Yeah now do the math!! Getting mission, gangwar, attack and defense toons buying these items....= Big Money!!!! Providing attack items for a mission toon....is like pissing in the wind, and the game is designed for Mission toons as well as other builds, so they too have the right to have things designed for their needs...

What would be so bad in having a complete outfit designed to offer, better % of damage in gangwars, bigger discounts on ALL equipment, a boost in energy (for mission toons)???
