The problems:
- PvP rank chasing is not fun for a lot of players.
- PvP progression is a reliable way of getting singular 4* covers
Proposed solution: A new shield which costs X amount of HP that eliminates you from the rankings, but never causes your progression points to diminish
Reasoning:
- There are PvP ratings in PvE, but players often decide to forgo this aspect for progression.
- Top PvPers go far beyond progression, sometimes into the thousands of points. Progression markers are an afterthought for them, and will not hurt them.
- You’ll likely get more HP spending. Causal player who would never shield prior to this, will spend HP to climb the progression rankings.
- More options for more players without hurting each other’s style of gameplay.
- This erases frustration from some players. Less players frustrated = more playing = more spending
