  • Pub -- how do consecutive bonuses (for pubbux) work?

    I've been logging in every day for the past 5+ days and got the mega-bonus this morning. I logged in now (~12h later) and discovered my consecutive bonuses is reset to 0 now. Aren't I supposed to keep receiving mega bonuses every day until I stay offline more than 24h?

    Probably by design, but I think the design could be different. Lots of free games seeking player activity promote logons over the course of a month. Might be better to reward 20 days out of 30 in a month, for example, with each one incrementally better. Maybe some days could be a prize for free, like on day 10 you get a free turret or deploy etc. Plenty of other games do this to encourage activity.

      You get the mega bonus and then it resets, by design.

      Maybe a better design would be: you get the mega-bonus, and then the daily rewards continue to increase, but are not equal to a mega-bonus, which you are eligible for every 7 days. Perhaps with consecutive mega bonuses you could have a better chance of hitting the large bonuses.

      I'm sure there are newer and more effective versions of this Skinner box mechanic. This was one that I borrowed from a phone poker app a few years back. Might need updating. I'll add a ticket to revamp it slightly. Seeing your consecutive days build past 7 would be interesting and rewarding in and of itself.
