TOPIC: 2009 Onyx Proof Tokens Are In!

Re: 2009 Onyx Proof Tokens Are In! 15 years 4 months ago #13

Look great!  <br /><br />    Okay - now I need to go find and re-read the thread that says how to get some.  :)<br /><br />          Yes; I, too, like the idea of finding some in a treasure pull.<br /><br /><br /><br />JKW

After a lot of careful thought, we decided to keep the proof tokens out of the treasure boxes.  People are crazy enough about Ingredient tokens, but adding in a whole other color to collect would be crazy-time.  Of course, you are free to drop your own Onyx proof tokens in a Treasure Box too...<br /><br />BTW, we did add in a few "treasure box only" tokens this year -- like the Alchemist Pouch in 2007.  So, you do have something to go nuts about.

<br /><br />I'm really glad to hear about the treasure box only tokens - I hope you put them in the Retro Dungeon as well as the TD:DC.  (are you?).<br /><br />I do still hold out hope that you'll eventually (even if not this year), put a different color tokens in the treasure boxes - or even just make all the treasure tokens in the dungeon a different color (maybe white?).  It may be "crazy time" trading - but I think it would be a good kind of crazy time, as people have a lot of fun trading the onyx or ivory dungeon treasure tokens.  You should do a poll and see if people would like to see a different color token in the treasure boxes as special "dungeon only" rewards - I'll bet you'd be surprised at the overwhelmingly positive response (or maybe I'd be surprised at the opposite).<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Mike

I think that's a good decision to limit onyx tokens to non-boxes.  Hard enough for those of us w/o HoPs to get those dungeon-only tokens.<br />

But what if the boxes contained ONLY ONYX backed tokens or ingredients/combos...  Hard to complain about pulling a 50' rope token if it is an ONYX backed 50' rope!!!  Kinda makes any pull from a BOX exciting - not just "did I get an ingredient or PURP or combo item..."

Or I suppose ingredients could have the black back.<br />

<br /><br />Sure - maybe all "Dungeon Only" tokens could have Black Backs?  (although I'll still keep recommending that ALL dungeon tokens to have a unique back - what better way to incentivize people to do dungeon runs?).

Gah!  No... please do NOT add more complexities to the dungeon only treasures.<br />It's hard enough sometimes making sure that people are only pulling one token - don't fuel the greed.

I kind of like the idea, Jammies.  It's a nice way to let the "newbies" know that there's something special about the Dungeon-Only tokens, so they don't trade them away cheap not realizing they are special.

I agree, it's a bit nuts.  However, if Jeff goes that route, I throw in my request for Puple Dungeon-Only/Special tokens.<br /><br />

I kind of like Dave's idea of having ingredient tokens on a black back.<br /><br />Kim

The nice part about having ONYX backed 2009 set items in the treasure boxes is that someone who does a run and has maybe less than 10 bags to their name - can get something really rare and uber cool!  (Would set builders also have something to shoot for that they could opt NOT to buy...YES! and that is awesome in my opinion! More of a challenge - and might stimulate even more player trading!)<br /><br />I'm actually more excited about things that can not be purchased or things that are not incentives for a "big buyer prize" seeing as how those kinds of things are now tied to REALLY REALLY large buys now-a-days.  (I get the same excitement from a Volunteer perk token - that is a small part of the reward for my efforts - but something to treasure and use!)<br /><br />In my opinion the PYP and random Golden tickets are as extreme as token buying incentives need to be...<br /><br />...it might be time to look in on the folks that want some nice reward just for making the run (not saying that the adventure is not enough - but just think about the awe-factor of every token draw wielding something you could not buy with money...almost makes it more "treasure-like" - that's what I think the future holds...people are already upset if they don't pull dungeon only ingredients, or combo items...you sort of soften that some by making the rest of the stuff in the box "dungeon unique!")  <br /><br />As for the dungeon ingredients - well they are already "dungeon unique" so they really don't need to be ONYX - but it would be one more way to set them apart. I'm 50/50 on that...<br />
