I was thinking about the overall uselessness of credits once you get to a certain point in the game and was trying to come up with creative ways to spend them. I was thinking they could have a Money Leaderboard showing wins from ghosts, current totals, money won and so forth, for those who want the pride of all that ssx cash. But also increasing the max customs to 10 or 20 million to make things interesting.

Also i was thinking about for those who dont want to spend all of their time leveling up the new characters or old ones they dont really care to level up. I generous offer of 25m for level 10 and 50m for level 11 or something similar. Being that the influx of cash flow is on the rise from the new update.

Or even some concept art unlockables, i'm always a fan of the artwork and whatnot that goes into any game.

What do you think? Any other Ideas? Or do you just want to collect until zuckerburgh gives you a call :p

I just want to get good at the courses I find interesting, same as with previous SSX titles.
That's where the glory is. I could'nt possibly give less of a crap about how much moolah you've managed to accumulate. I do, however, care about why your score/time is better than mine, so a ghost leaderboard with quick access to replays would be of some value to me, as it's not that easy to spot details during a stressful ghost chase.

I do think increasing the drop cost for custom GEs would be great - 1m is pretty low.

I also like the idea of artwork unlockables, they're always good fun.

Otherwise, I'm kind of against making things more expensive - not everyone has the ability to earn mad money. I have more than I'll probably ever use, but it doesn't bother me.

Also, depending on where you are in the world, the new GEs aren't necessarily a cash cow. Where I am there are very few players in GEs when I play so the payouts aren't huuuuuuuge (depending on your definition of huuuuuuuge of course ;) ).

Haha it is kind of annoying having all the cash and not much to spend it on, especially when most of the chars are maxed out, I love that concept art idea!

Also maybe just a random suit, e.g a yeti suit for like 200million? I would love something like that ala the abominable snowman that was in the past SSX's (3 I think?)

TBH though its not a huge problem, and not somthing the dev's should be focussing their time on at the moment :) (more ranges!!!!!!!! ;) )

I want it to be easier to transfer Credits to other people. At the moment the only way to do it is a tiny short winner takes all GE with friends. Boogie couldn't even see the stupid event i posted which was pointless.

Cant it be implemented that you can SEND credits to people on your friends list?

A function that should have been there day 1. It's that obvious.
Along with unified gear storage.

You might want to try setting up a custom GE again - maybe Boogie will be able to see it now. I could never see any custom GEs but since the GE changes of the last couple of days I can see HEAPS of custom GEs all over the globe.

I'd really like a credit gifting function as well. I tried to give credits to my mum weeks ago, but I couldn't see the custom GEs she was setting up. I even got her to bring her console to my house so I could operate both at the same time, but nada. I'll be trying again this weekend to see if it works now.

The funny thing is I am finding that I treat my fantasy SSX bank account like I do my real account........I am tight as fuck! :heh I rarely buy/use mods just because I dont want to blow the dough which is stupid at this point since I have more than I will ever spend most likely (nearly 500mil in the bank) I just wish my real account was as big as my SSX bank account!

Having said all that, it would be kind of cool to have some SUPER rare/expensive items at some point so we actually have something to spend our $$$$ on. At the same time, I would much rather the devs spend their time giving us more mountains so it is low on the priority list for me I guess.

transferable credits sounds like a great idea I would also think they should be redeemable for MS points :-) maybe something like 500 MS points for 5 mil.

Considering you can buy credits with real currency...

:lol

I'm tight too. I can't remember exactly but my lifetime earnings are a bit over 200 mil, and I have 180 mil in the bank. :heh

I did buy a heap of cheap level 8 mods which I stack together to fill the bar though. I never buy any higher level mods though - too tight for that.

That is a great idea. Considering trick multiplier mods in particular (any others?) have the exact same effect no matter what level they are at, it makes tons of sense to buy the cheapest and lowest level version of those possible which I need to start doing. Some of us lived through the great SSX depression so I feel like I need to hang on to my dough now in case it happens again! :heh

Yes! uber rare suits with goofy attributes. I think a Michael Myers suit would be killer :rolleyes (seriously though)

I agree on the priority i would much rather have the bigger stuff taken care of...but if they ever get bored with all the ranges and characters...

If they wouldn't have capped the # of items one could have in his inventory then we could all spend our credits on collecting every item in the game. This would've been ---> challenge accepted!

Maybe we should be able to buy prestige tokens with credits. Every token will cost 1bil credits and will appear behind your name in Explore and GE. It will also give your ghosts a different color depending on how many prestige tokens you already bought.

Just an idea, it's not like all those spare credits are ever going to be useful anyway. And it might be fun to see an occasional purple/green/yellow/orange/red ghost.

That would be awesome. But instead of 1 billion, how about 650 million or something like that.

I like the idea of 'extras' like the tokens MrPanic suggested, or artwork or movies and stuff like that.
Just random aesthetic perks. Like pay x amount and whaddya know, Serenity has fireworks. Or have an auction for 'ownership' of a drop and be able to rename it however you'd like. Or pay to change whose character lines your character speaks (putting Kaori's lines on Psymon or vice-versa I would definitely pay for).

Just any random but fun things that don't effect gameplay.

Nah, going prestige should be a painful moment, and nothing would hurt more in this game than a billion credits. Especially with how easy credits are earned now, lets make it a challenge.

That's a great idea too, so you can buy expensive cheats that don't affect gameplay like fireworks everywhere or all opponents have big heads or your character gets a squeaky voice or turns into a ghost himself. I would totally like that!

I like this one!
It doesn't scream e-peen, it does practically nothing, it's simply a stupid little thing that's there for you, personally, if you feel up for it.

Yes, we find the board design we want, raise its stats accordingly with credits and the level of that board increases as we raise its stats. Oh and we should be able to buy perks for our boards too making them epic/legendary boards!
If anyone's tinkered with the ball customiser on the game Stardunk from the App Store, you'll know what I'm talking about.

1bil for a different coloured ghost? I like the idea of a big cash sink but I'd need more than that. Something like a giant crown or a pimp cup. Something that I can actually see when I'm jumping out of the helicopter.
