    Like the title indicates, I'm here to save Battle Bay.

    Here are some of my ideas that will save Battle bay, stop players from leaving (quiting), and get players back (who have left). And overall just give Battle Bay that fresh new feeling it hasn't had in a while!

    - First off, an indirect but somewhat effective buff to defenders and fixers; standard shield buff. All standard shields will have 3 defense points per tier. (Tier 5 of any rarity standard shield will add 15 defense to your ship).

    - Defender buff. +15% boost to ship and turret agility base.

    - Carronade buff. Spread reruced from 12° to 8°. So carronade is more effective at mid-range combat.

    - Triple torpedo. Cooldown reduced from 15s to 12s. (10.2s with full Blastian training)

    - Gear lube. Event perk. +gear lube effect + ship speed.

    Uncommon - +10% effect. +10% ship speed
    Rare - +15% effect. +15% ship speed
    Epic - +20% effect. +20% ship speed
    Legendary - +20% effect. +25% ship speed

    - Repair box. Regular perk. Crit chance.
    Uncommon 2.5%
    Rare 5%
    Epic 7.5%

    - Frost items reworked in order to adapt to the change that left them extict;

    Frost Blaster changed to Frost Bolt. (Now travels on the waves).

    Frost launcher changed to Frost Napalm. (Self explanatory)
    OR
    New item. Avalanche. A frost item that acts as a napalm. Strong effect in center not so strong effect farther out of the ring.

    Or if devs don't like those ideas make it so the first shot doesn't completely remove frost but makes it go to 3.0s

    - A breather. Make rivalries last 5 days a week. And the events will fall in between those 5 days. Then everyone gets 2 stress-free days to just have fun in the bay and not worry about not making the 900 coins for their legendary perk or not getting 1st place in rivalry.

    - Snipers (and all other cannons) have a chance to crit Tesla Shields. This is a fair trade. If the sniper crits the shield, it's most likely broken. If it isn't the Tesla Shield user made enemy waste a shot.

    - New crew member. Splitter. (sounds cool?)
    In this crew member, his trainings will have some ship agility to all ships, and turret speeds to all ships. Some boosts to specific ships. Projectle speed for the Electro-arrow and duration for redirect (2 new items that follow).

    New item. Electro-arrow. Red item. 2 slots. Type: curve (will have a curve like the blast cannon). Range: longer than a blast cannon but shorter than a sniper. Projectile speed that of a blast cannon. This item will electrify an enemy for 7.5s. Every 2.5s it will deal the respective amount of damage to the enemy (a total of 3 times). The enemies within 5 range of him (max 2 players, so the 2 closest enemies near him in a case where he is close to all 4 teammates) will be effected by half the damage he is taking, so he will want to immediately get away from his teammate(s). (This is why I came up with the name Splitter for the crew that this item is linked to). I think the damage of a max epic Electro-arrow should be around 500 damage. Dealing 1500 total to the enemy and 250 per tick to enemy's nearby teammates (in a great situation this would deal a total of 3000 damage, 1500+750+750, considering your teammate stayed right next to 2 teammates which isn't very likely).

    New item. Redirect. Yellow item. 1 slot. Type: Bolt. Purpose: confusion. Tilts enemy ship's view back and forth. Also, in the item's setting you rotate their movement by 0°-360°. So if you set it to 90° if they try to move straight forward they will actually be moving to the side. The cooldown should be around 15s and the effect shouldn't be too long.

    Their screen's view will react like this




    Well, that's all I have for now...

    Cool ideas! Hopefully the Devs consider them once they’re back from break.

    I like the item ideas but this alone—a crew member that increases ship stats—would be an awesome buff for everyone!

    I agree with everything, mostly about making shorter rivalries.

    Great job!

    Amazing ideas but its a lot to do at once. I think that the new items should be put on hold until everything else has been sorted out;)

    Thanks! Yea I added all the ideas I had. I don't expect them all to be added, especially not all at once, but wanted to give a list of things so maybe they will pick 1 or 2 from it if I'm lucky :p

    Not bad ideas. I doubt they would fix any of the major issues in Battle Bay causing players to leave, but they would be a welcome addition... except for the tilt gun. That is a very out-of-the-box idea, but I just don't see that ever being implemented. There's several other yellow items that I'd like to see first... Stuns, smokes, teammate-boosters, etc. I'd love to be able to shoot a teammate with a speed bolt or a bubble blaster.

    Smokes and bubble blasters, these sound cool also.

    Great post Joey. Fantastic ideas and input, very positive outlook.

    The development team should gift a random legendary item for user who really contribute to this forum like this post. It will encourage others to do the same.

    Great job!

    The main reason most of my friends and guildmates have quit Battle bay is because if the time it takes and not being able to take a breath and just relax on the game like old times. I believe the 2 day break alone would have saved many from quitting before. Better late than never on that one. And the rest are just some of the things I personally would love to see added to the game :D

    Yea, I understand that part. There's definitely a lot of (optional) grinding. This was the first event I grinded hard. Mainly because it was my favorite event. But the whole time I was grinding in event, I couldn't use the guild quest items (I also didn't have them, but whatever).

    However, players are not required to grind out every rivalry/season/event. And many of the top players don't need to grind these because they are already so strong. If a player wants to grind non-stop to level up, that is on them and I would feel weird asking Rovio to put artificial limitations in place to force me to play less... That is really up to the players to have the self-control to take breaks. If your guild is forcing you to play so much that you can't take a break, then maybe you should consider another guild.

    Overall good ideas and I do empathize with your thoughts on staggering the schedule, but I'm not sure I totally agree with it.

    Yea I understand, but in many cases people have grown with their guild for over a year. And being in a different guild wouldn't feel right to them and decide to just leave the game. I can name up to 10 people just in my head which that situation is 100% accurate. I personally am not that stressed into the game with rivalries and such because I have more than plenty of spare time on my hands but I feel for others
