Hello Dear Boomer!

If you played Boom Beach since start, you might have known a time when Boom Beach thrived with new users, so many completions, it was a time when Hopping was a rewarded with not the only the resources, but friend-ship, brother-hood, sister-hood, joy, most importantly happiness in every Boomer. 

Sadly, the tail ended short, 5-6 months ago, supercell chose to "Patch" the rewards of hopping and destroy Book Beach. This ended badly for boom beach, more Boomers leave playing boom beach than new players, and maxed out players are out of choice. 

Thus, sign this petition to bring back Hopper Rewards under terms Supercell choose. And thrive Boom Beach Community, with new users, bases, many more. 

 

 

Here's an full history, of how TFs hopped back in the day by SKIP (Band):

 

I think SC stopped that multiple rewards about 9 month to a year ago. It was at the same time they did the update that took away the benefits of kicking, which as RocketNinja pointed out was far more beneficial to players that were serious players. By removing that awesome feature, SC really hurt the global aspect of boom beach's social aspect of the game. It caused many TFs and players to burn out because the time and work to help and enjoy playing the game with so many great players as they had been - it just became too much

 

Here is the background of hopping and how it worked: you start in a TF, an OP is started, at that point you could choose to hit OP, then get kicked. Go to next TF, that TF starts OP, choose to hit OP, get kicked. You could continue this as much as u wanted and had time for. In order to get the OP rewards from the OPs u played while hopping, u had to get back in that TF before their next OP ended. Essentially a 24-48 hr window to get back depending on when u were kicked.

 

The benefit of kicking was this: by kicking the player, the reward was preserved for u and able to be collected. if a player had just left the TF, the reward was forfeited. The 2nd benefit and most crucial: an OP could be started, the player kicked without attacking. They could then be invited back to the TF. At anytime during that OP, the could rejoin using the invite and still be able to attack in that OP. This led to a 3rd benefit which we used in our family of TFs. We would jump around to our TFs completely run by us, start our OPs, I kick everyone and send invites. Then they could full boost when they had the time to play and go back around and hit all the OPs in the 3 hrs of full boost

 

Now this was all back in the day when invites could only be done if you were Facebook friends or friends via Game Center. So this actually promoted a great social part to the game, and promoted an open concept to playing boom beach. Instead of just playing in an inclusive TF and maybe only getting to be friends with small group of players, you were able to play the game with as many friends as u wanted without the confines of being stuck in 1 TF day in and day out

 

The thinking behind SC making the OP reward still available to be collected if you were kicked was because they understood that there would always be dicks who played this game. And those dicks would kick players out just so they couldn't get the OP reward for whatever reason (and maybe it was a legit kick because the player kicked was a dick). Either way, this was why SC never published that this was a possibility that OP reward was still available if you went back after the 24hr kick timer ran out

 

The reason "hoppers" has a bad taste in some people's mind was due to a small portion of players being assholes. They would join a TF for an OP, make some craptastic OP hit, end up in some way getting the TF to kick them out. Or maybe not attack at all, just start mouthing off in chat and get kicked on purpose. Then rejoin 24hrs later and still collect reward, and most cases the TF didn't know they were getting the reward. But they sure knew that player was a jerk hence making hoppers look like jerks as a whole. However, the large portion of players that hopped wanted to help the TFs, providing solid OP hits, Intel dropping.

 

I and many of my friends spent more than a year trying everywhere we went to overturn this 'bad taste' of hoppers. Trying to show TFs that we were all about having fun, meeting awesome new players, and truly helping in every way possible (Intel, OP hits, showing and learning new techniques).
