Posting to get folks' thoughts and opinions on the current state of Skial points for using within the !store.
Pinned post from Bottiger for reference and an in-game screenshot of what appears when you type !store:
(Menu options may change depending on what server you're playing on: Trade servers will always have more options as opposed to standard map servers.)
It seems like the most bought things are the following from my observation:
Credit Parties
Titles & Rank for showing in text chat. (To my knowledge the website for adding title suggestions has been down for a while - https://www.skial.com/threads/skial-titles.82731/)
Autobalance immunity for 2 weeks (non-donator option for avoiding being autobalanced - usually folks just leave said server or donate to ignore this entirely.)
Saxton Hale (Get to be Hale/Boss next round - I dunno how often this is actually used now with the Freak Fortress server - I only remember from the Hale Server prior to the v-script version's release to casual.)
Some options like buying a shorter !votemenu cooldown I don't think I've ever seen in-game. Cool - you can spend the extra points to have the option of a vote failing once more. Humiliation immunity doesn't even exist anymore I don't think. (Unless its on one of the misc servers I'm just unaware about.)
The trend I see is that people will play, get to enjoy the server and become a regular, work to earn the title they want within the !store and buy it after grinding time played in Skial servers. Great - now what to do with the abundance of points we have left over... credit parties >:D
Some of the options within the ingame !store don't contain anything to buy with points as well. "Items" and "Donator" category I have never seen anything within as it usually just kicks me back to the main menu. Other options have been turned into commands that anyone can do without having to spend points on. On the OG post above by Bottiger you apparently used to be able to buy keys using skial points. I know that is impossible now and will never be a thing again due to prices of keys and presuming a nightmare of a system to maintain. (Still nifty though.)
It would be nice to see more options being added to spend Skial points on whether it be new titles, new fun options for within trade/surf/misc servers, etc.
No hate to what we currently have for options - it just feels pointless after a while if you play on Skial servers enough to earn a surplus.
While I will always hear about the glory days of !bet, I was never around for that time frame to get an opinion on that matter so I got nothing further to say on the betting behalf. But what do you folks think? Whether its more titles, fun options for misc servers, or more of those sweet sweet temporary character light trails in-game - it'd be cool to have a couple new additions whether to what we have pre-existing or something new entirely.
If I missed something or am just flat-out-wrong with one of my observations as I'm a Dustbowl addict and rarely play other servers - let me know.
