Limited Refer-A-Friend Reward Opportunities

471 votes

I believe a rework of the Refer-A-Friend system should be HIGHLY considered by Alderon Games.

With the skins slowly rotating out of availability we run into these problems:
1. Newer players will never have a chance to earn older rewards.
2. Older players who have already referred their friends won't be able to earn the newest rewards.

* Please consider the fact not everyone has a huge amount of friends, and - even in their own friend groups - not everyone is interested in playing these types of games. This leaves only popular players/influencers able to spread their referrals and obtain the newest of skins with ease.

Here are a couple options to fix these standing issues. (There are sure to be more in the comments):
- Allow players to buy referral skins and keep referring friends as an option to earn skins for FREE.
- Allow players to earn old AND new skins if they have referred people for that specific tier.

Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read this!

YES YES YES! I have played since the release onto consoles and I only have one referral (Wildfire allo) and it was a link I accepted from somebody else, I have friends I do but none of them even know what that game is and aren't gonna spend $70 on a game they won't play. They just don't like dinosaurs and that's fine. I don't have the rest of the old ones or any of the new ones, I don't have hundreds of friends to harrass to get the game so I can get a skin its not fair. you should be able to have the option to buy skins individually for a fair price (maybe same as current skin packs 350 or 150 coins) but the refer a friend system should just be a way to earn the skins for free if you do have friends you want to bring to the game. Only big time youtubers like velocci or other people can get their code out easily because they have a large fanbase or if you buy 6 copies of the game each time for yourself and its a waste of hundreds of dollars.

A system that allows for friends to refer you when they purchase skin packs or anything from the store should be in place. That way, you're not limited to only people who recently joined the game.

You should not be able to get old skins they are exclusive for a reason. If you don’t play when they are available then you don’t get the rewards like the rest of us. Just because someone is late too the party doesn’t mean those who have supported the game since the beginning should lose there exclusives.

As a backer, I'm upset that there are skins I can't get simply because I'm unlucky and not as popular as many people. The devs should absolutely rethink this system.

I fully agree. I have 8 friends referred from last year, yet I don't have any of the 6 new skins. It seems totally unfair to me, as at no point has it been specified on their website that there were going to be new skins, that referrals would not count towards the new skins, or that there was a deadline for referrals not to count towards the new rewards.

We could also have some kind of "referal token" when we refer someone. It would allow us to "buy" one referal skin of our choice. lets remove the "tiers" and just let us chose the skin we like the look of the most at least! including current and past ones.

My short opinion on this matter:
1. No, you cannot return old rewards, in this case we either return everything that was there (starter kit, etc.) or nothing (just my opinion).
2. The simplest solution would be the opportunity to “refer a friend” not within 24 hours, but at least within a month.
3. Alderon Games could notify new players about the existence of the "refer a friend" system and explain how it works, because people, especially new ones, are intimidated by the very concept of a link being offered to them by a stranger.

I have wanted some of these skins so badly but everyone I play with has already been referred and finding players who aren’t already referred are so hard.
