We literally bought the market out of orc forces and inflated the price to about 1k for a couple weeks. I’m pretty sure orc force became the new cool for awhile. People were wearing full Orc and such, couple maxed out servers, etc. We have great great tools to do super fun things. Ill totally reach out again when I have time to do the next league. Specifically, a lot of toricredits are necissary. The staff would have to be ok with funding something for the purpose of buying out the market lol.

An event idea of something that's never been done before will get very high percentage of eyeballs focused on it, instead of repeatedly hosting the same events over and over.

In terms of event prizes, raise it a little! 3k TC for completing a task in an event isn't enough at all, and don't assume all players are beginners so 3k would look big in their eyes. If it's not worth getting then most people wouldn't even participate.


Events Funding:

The Event Squad should fund and promote new events made by the people. Staff should always ask for people opinions and ideas for new events.

Sometimes a player could have a brilliant idea for an event but does not have TC or decent prizes to offer to make an event. That takes foresight and courage as a leader as an admin to say I will make sure we fund this because this is the RNA of our game and maybe one day this will bring more new people to the game, and can certainly be as new ideas for Toribash Youtube content makers or Instagram reels which also would bring more new people to the game, that's what has to happen.

Radical changes absolutely need to happen to every area of the game, modmaker being one of the most problematic ones IN MY OPINION due to how incredibly outdated it is. But there's other blatant issues such as how staff don't care about the competitive scene, at least when it comes to actually doing events. Sponsoring Kane/Fl0w's Endurance Onslaught was an amazing call though.
The neglect for replaymaking as a whole is also BEYOND flagrant. The closest thing we get to that nowadays is some "parkour" event which is actually just a race for the finish line, which really doesn't say much when we talk about replaymaking. There's absolutely no support for ukebashing, sparring, tricking, parkouring, MMA, nothing. Where is SP Cup? Why don't we do more events catering towards replaymakers? They're a huge part of the community, and I'd argue they love the game more than most, so why is there nearly no support being shown? I understand that judging replays may be subjective, but still, at least there'd be something.


I also find that areas like the stock folder and the Torilegends are totally mishandled by those responsible, not intentionally though. It's just that deciding who is currently good or important would take people who actually are active in the game currently, which is definitely not what happens. This leads to issues like the latest stock change, where for the first time EVER in the history of Toribash, a player got 5 of his own replays put in there. This is something that used to be absolutely frowned upon, I vividly remember Millie saying the only way you'd get into stock with more than 1 replay is if you were an absolutely amazing player such as Swexx, where are those values now?

not trying to counter your point since this game does need some form of incentive to keep new players engaged. here’s a few things that i can think of:

1. Battlepass - Allow players to have the ability to grind for something every ranking season for a decent tier 100 reward.

2. Global Ranking Leaderboards - This offers another reason players could start grinding. Bragging rights, self improvement, potential end of season rewards, etc.

3. Ranked mode - Test your skill against other players of the same skill level in multiple different competitive mods. I would prefer that they separate the comp mods into their own individual ranked servers because some players (like me) would like to play their main mod.

4. Qi - I personally feel that it takes way too long to earn cool looking stuff to put on your tori when some items are locked behind 20,000 games and on top of that they are very expensive. I’ve played 12,000 games in the past 3 or so years and still can’t get the colors that I want.
