This was already suggested before in the Discord through the Regarding the Badge System topic in the forums, but I decided to add it here aswell given the text limit of Discord.
I found interesting the Award System that was introduced in the profiles and I think it could be even more expanded and function as a rewarding system in game for some of its activities, keeping the players engaged and making them explore all the features possible in game constantly at the same time.
First of all, the OvTwo website could feature an award page or section in the stats of the players, displaying all the awards that were created through all the time OvTwo is active. There, people could check all the awards in which would be displayed in the following order:
-
Unlocked Awards => All the awards already obtained by the user. In case the list of awards obtained by the user can be checked by other players (depending of the user settings to keep them public or private), the common awards can have their description of how to unlock displayed to the other players but the hidden awards can’t be accessed by them, just the title and the icon;
-
Locked Awards => All the awards the user can obtain but are still locked. Those can be unlocked by doing some certain activities in the game and have on their description the task needed to earn them. Following here are some suggestions of activities that could be done considered as Locked Awards.
=> Impulsive Consumers: obtained after purchasing over 1000 items in stores (Casino Keys do not count);
=> Island’s Treasure Hunter: obtained after breaking over 2500 Tool Targets broken in Volcano Island;
=> City’s Department Cleaner: obtained after breaking over 2500 Tool Targets broken in The Hub;
=> Crazy Driver: obtained after riding 50000 kms in a vehicle;
=> Marathonist: obtained after walking 15000 kms in the game;
=> Stallion of the Cimarron: obtained after traveling 30000 kms with a mount;
=> Buildaholic: obtained after editing your home for 30 days;
=> Meteor Smasher: obtained after destroying 10 meteors;
=> Space Cadet: obtained after destroying 100 meteors. -
Monthly Reset Awards => All the locked awards that the players based in the leaderboard system displayed in the website. For this, there would have two different sections of the leaderboard, one displaying the user earnings through their time in OvTwo and a second option with the earnings through the month. At the end of the month/time limit, the scores would be resetted and after placing first in one of the categories the player would be rewarded with the award of that category. Examples of possible awards from that category could be:
=> I Never Freeze: obtained after placing first in the Icefall’s monthly leaderboard;
=> Bullseye: obtained after placing first in the Splatball’s monthly leaderboard;
=> Eventful Pleasure: obtained after placing first in the OvTwo’s events leaderboard;
=> Gambling Addict: obtained after placing first in the Casino’s leaderboard (That one will be based in a point system, with each item won having a different amount of points to it based on its difficulty. In the end, the person who get most points out of this in the month will win the award). -
Hidden Awards => Those awards can be obtained after fulfilling certain tasks in the game that will not be displayed in the award list page until you unlock them. As mentioned in the “Unlocked Awards” section, the description will only later be seem by the unlockers of the awards but not for the others who visit the player’s awards list. Examples of possible awards from that category could be:
=> Devil’s Luck?!: obtained after finishing the Casino’s leaderboard with 666 points;
=> Gotta Dig 'Em All: Obtained after getting all the Volcano Island’s Gift Drops;
=> Waste Collector: Obtained after getting all The Hub’s Gift Drops;
=> The Dealer: Find Seymour’s Secret Shop;
=> Ready to Party: Find The Groove Tube;
=> Honorable Gambler: Buy a total 1122025 Jackpot Keys (The Date of Public Beta release). -
Limited Time Awards => Those are all the awards that were available at some point and can’t be obtained anymore by any of the players. Some of the examples of limited time awards that old players won and were available are:
=> Jackpot Pioneer: obtained by @owen;
=> Christmas 2025: obtained by the players who participated of the 2025’s Christmas Event;
=> Closed Beta Tester: obtained by the players who participated of the Closed Beta of OvTwo in 2025.
BONUS => Recently while I was doing my wiki research I found this update regarding the Solo 7 and how they constantly updated it stating “the Architect builds new challenges for our hardcore Trial competitors” (which was noticed through the years). This is for the future, but my idea is that same award system somewhat syncs with a rotation system of trials, which also brings some of the old Architets maps back and keep changing them, along with possibly new ones, rewarding them with different awards depending of the season/challenge they are doing. They could serve as either a monthly one or a different seasonal category. Even a hidden one. (You can see all the previous versions here for reference.)
And that’s my big idea overall. Probably it might be a ton of work and maybe some late game idea since there are still other priorities but I think it could be a fun addition.
