I couldn't find a similar suggestion to this, but I wanted to suggest a reward based on getting a certain number of medal points. It's not like unlocking battle market items where you have to get the badges first in order to purchase them, just a free reward for reaching "X" amount of medal points, somewhat similar to how you'd get various rewards for completing a certain amount of missions - either a ship mod, really nice planet artifact, or even a permanent ship ability. There could be a reward for when you hit 1,000 medal points, 1,500, or 2,000 or maybe all three or some other increment of space between the points(doesn't necessarily have to be 500) Any thoughts?

I like free stuff

I'm a college student. our favorite word is free C:

I'm thinking NPC slot?

Hadn't thought of that, I like it. Maybe even 2? If they would separate NPC's and PVP on two different tabs then they could be identical - 10 PVP options and 10 NPC options potentially

1 npc slot for 1500 medal points and a 2nd for 3000 medal points. i also support splitting pvp and npc into 2 tabs of 10.

What this one says!

Yea, +1 here

I can see that medal points are a reward of sorts, but I guess I'm thinking of something more tangible for a cumulative amount of points.

Ignore him Pitch Ninja, Darth Flag only seems to stick around to shoot down good ideas

Fixed that for you, Umbozo.

Thing is, medal points are, in and of themselves, a reward for doing things you would be doing anyway (in most cases). I'll grant that most people won't spend the GP for the race change medals if you didn't get medal points, but those are more like the exception to the rule. Keep in mind that nearly all of the medal points are given for doing things that you're already getting "tangible" rewards for. So, really, medal points are already rewarding you for an otherwise rewarded task. Also, bear in mind, that medal points, at certain levels, unlock battle tab items. Therefore, in essence, you're already getting rewarded TWICE for doing stuff. Asking for a THIRD reward just for doing what you would do normally, is simply needy and greedy.

As for the specific mention of unlocking more NPC slots, not until the spawn order is fixed. A fair portion of the galaxy is already ignoring slots 7 and 8 because of NPCs spawning at the bottom, I don't see many people actually wanting to use 9 and 10.

UmBozo... Cute.

I will disagree that it is needy and greedy. Also you say you are already being rewarded, yet once you have Bainar, what point is there in getting medal points? The original suggestion was aimed at high medal point totals, which could bring some point back to the medal reward system, beyond the current limit (900 points)

Also did you totally skip over the part of the discussion where people suggested splitting the BT in two, each with 10 slots... Seems so.

I eagerly await your likely condescending retort, which outlines why your opinion is right and the idea, as with 99% of stuff others post on the forum, is rubbish

I love the idea of splitting NPC from PvP on the BT and would have no problem with a mission adding new NPC slots once you had reached a certain number of medal points.
In saying that, I think Darth Flag is right, simply to reward based on the medals (and rewards) already received seems unneccessarily generous to me.

Three rewards for a task isn't needy and greedy? Ok... I'm sure pretty much everyone around here knows I've never been a fan of the badge system nor the medal system. But, it is what it is. I do enjoy some of the perks of those systems. However, badges and medals aren't really why I partake in any particular activity, unless they are requirements for something specific. Such as Blues/Yellows/Darks for ally ranking. I'm over 1400 medal points, without doing ANYTHING that I wouldn't have been doing anyway. I've got a fully ranked (and rarely used) Bainar. So not only have I availed myself of that opportunity for having 900+ medal points, I've also gotten all the little rewards for each individual medal, AND the rewards from the tasks themselves. If you absotively, positutely NEED some other incentive to gain medal points by, you know, playing the game, propose additional, distinct, and REPEATABLE Battle Market items, for example, requiring higher medal points.

I consider the "split the BT" suggestion as completely irrelevant. The bottom spawn issue has been around for roughly 3.5 years now. If we can't get Dan to do a simple code adjustment of a couple/few lines to get them to spawn from the top, there's zero likelihood of a complete redesign of the Battle page. Quit dreaming in that pipe, it'll lead to brain damage.

Opinions are never right or wrong, and I've only stated mine. Take it for what you will. But when something can be substantiated by facts (see my "opinion" of split BTs) then, yeah, I'm right. Oh, and by the way, more than 99% of the Suggestions forum IS rubbish, because very few people even consider the overall ramifications of what they are suggesting or the necessity. All they are concerned with is how something would benefit themselves.

Big time +1

so split pvp and npc into 2 tabs of 10. then have 2 missions (npc hunts ?) that are unlocked with 1500 medal points / 3000 medal points. completion of those missions drops an arti that adds an additional npc slot.

Darthy, We already have items restricted based on medal points . so those could be seen as rewareds. But splitting NPC's and pvp in two separate pages so we can stop scrolling is a good idea. So if this way gets that then woohooo. also a little extra some thing would be nice seeing as many medal points are cash based. this could cause more to spend money!

Never said it wasn't a good idea, Pony. But you know as well as I do (since you've been playing about as long as I have) that the spawn order issue has been around for roughly 3.5 years and has been brought up repeatedly by some of the most influential GL players. If it hasn't been fixed by now, it's not going to be fixed. Dan has apparently decided (for whatever reason) that things are just fine as they are. Again, we can't convince him to make the minor coding change to give us top-spawn rather than bottom-spawn. There's not going to be a major restructuring of the Battle Tab into two sub-tabs.

I dont give up! if I did and others did we may not have the DMC and the ... oww jeeze i see where your going... never the less i'm a hopeful Lad and will keep trying. Munch like that little train. but rather then choo choo! you have clippy clops and rather than a helpful blue steam engine . You have a some times drunk unpoilte troll.
