How about achievements done get you "Client 2 Points".

At the end of the Beta, you can use them like a form of currency for various prizes.


... This is actually a good idea. If it was easy to do and not a royal pain in the ass for the devs.

Bageese sounds suprised at the source of this idea. But kudos to church!

I agree with Churchill (and you have no idea how much I hate admitting that).

A points system would allow rewards that benefit different classes, and letting the player pick his prize would make everyone happy. A few things such as a successful Emp claim should ofc have a different prize, unobtainable through the points, but for everything else just go with that.

I think they're just trophy prizes. No "benefiting classes" items. If they are anything other than trophies then its a stupid idea.

I disagree, this is very very important for SS and testing should be awarded properly.

Of course you'd disagree, disagreement would directly benefit you. Rewards should be nice looking trophies.

Why would it directly benefit me? Everyone could win the prices.

I disagree with your disagreement! The vast majority of players WANT to play the beta and would do it even without prizes. Prizes should be something that looks cool and makes you stand out, but not something that gives you an advantage in the game 5 years from now. Imp Tweaking is a perfect example of how horribly wrong that can go.

prizes shud just be trophies yes, leads to people being in less of a rush as u dont get an epic prize and so more bugs may get found :p

How about varying amounts of space points per achievement so that testing the C2 beta potentially gains you free time on Live? That's something that no one can call out as unfair as people are just getting some of the time they invested back, or if the are epic, more than the time they invested.

imp chests are the most fair of prizes, this could be used for the easier or more abundant milestones, such as amount of bugs reported, level achieved, what not, but for something like being the first to kill bana queen, being the person to hold emp, and IF possible, being the first to kill emp, there should be a different prize.
