Timing between Loot Crates / Who is eligible for a new Pack
- If the default timing between free packs is one week, then there should be additional (but limited) ways to earn free packs through answering a certain number of issues during the week or achieving other milestones.
Examples:
- Answering any issue during a Sun-Sat week earns you 1 additional free pack.
- Answering >5 issues during a single week earns you a second free pack.
- [1] Casting a Vote on a WA Proposal also earns a free pack up to once per week enabling a bonus for WA members per the more extreme "WA Only" loot boxes solution
- [2] Your nations creation date / birthdate
- [3] A one-time reward for joining the WA
- Accomplishing a specific card-system related milestone (IE: Opened 100 packs, collected 10 of a single card, upgraded a card if that feature comes into play in the future, etc)
Only WA members can receive FREE time-based loot boxes; non-WA members would have to purchase packs or earn them through achievements (likely controversial but there has to be some way to prevent some of the puppet armies)
Probability of pulling region cards / 4th Card percentages
- While it is good that you have a chance of getting cards from your region, perhaps the percentage chance that you get a card from your region in the deck is proportional to the time you have spent in the region. IE: Spending 180 days in a region with >100 nations equates to a 99% chance of drawing a nation from that region in your deck. Spending 0 days in that region equates to a 1% chance of getting a card from that region. This will prevent many of the traveling puppet army effects seen during the mini game
- Its evident that there is a fairly high percentage chance that the 4th card will be from your current region, and the rest will be fairly random. Perhaps regions which your region has an embassy with would factor into this equation as well.

Memyselfani wrote:One thing that was a big issue was just finding cards I was interested in. I ended up looking for people with large decks and browsing them, not necessarily to buy from them in particular, just to identify cards I was interested in. It was pretty hit and miss. I was collecting only anarchy, so even someone's large deck would only have a few. It would be nice to be able to search a global database. I don't even know how many anarchy nations there are in total, though I estimate about 4000. I have ~250 of them. By the end, I was buying every one I saw that was for sale (other than the legendaries that I could not afford), and worried that even though I had cash, I would not find enough of them to spend it all.
Same would go for someone collecting a region. I found a region that was all anarchy, so i decided to get them all. I had to go to the region page and click through each nation to its main page, then to its deck, then to its card, just to see if anyone was selling it.Then back button through it all to get back to the list. I put buy offers on them after I had winnowed it down to about 20 I didn't have, but managing that was pretty much untenable. Would have been nice if I could change my offers from a single page (that did not refresh on each click), or checkbox each of them then make a bulk change. Another thing I did was put an offer at junk on some cards just as a way of bookmarking them until I had enough cash to make a real offer. A 'dossier' or wish list of target cards would be nice.

For some nations that have done a lot of trading, this page takes a minute to load, and honestly it would be nice to be able to view all the "Wanted" cards, separate from the "Bought" cards, separate from the "For Sale" cards, separate from the "Sold" cards. It would also be nice if we had some central place where we could see sales and offers happening worldwide, kind of like the "Happenings" page.

Galiantus III wrote:The second problem is that people can switch their WA nation, which means depending on how this is organized, puppet armies could exploit it still, by switching. This cannot be done on a weekly basis, but must be done on a proposal-by-proposal basis, if it is going to have any chance of working. And loot boxes would have to be distributed at the end of voting, only.
- The problem here is that someone with a whole lot of time on their hands could exploit the system by creating ten puppets every day for a year, then henceforth receive ten loot boxes every day via their massive puppet army. Considering how long Macedon has held on to some regions, this is not at all a far-fetched scenario.
- Same problem as the above. I just create 10 nations every day, and join them to the WA for my free loot box. And (just guessing) I don't think Admin wants to add to the already complex task of dealing with WA multying.

Aeiouia wrote:The idea of having nations sign up to a "Card Registry" or something akin to the WA that allows them to get loot boxes comes to mind. However, I can imagine that that is a bad idea since it would be a huge addition to the site and another thing that the admins would have to watch over, essentially doubling the need to look for WA duplicates. So, yeah. Not that great of an idea, but I will throw it out there anyway.
Nationstates the Gathering wrote:I think the idea of restricting loot boxes to WA members only would do this to some extent but I don't believe you can do that due to the number of users who would legitimately want to participate with just one or a hand ful of nations and do not have a WA Presence.
