[2023] I have a few problems with the bling system.

Hey there! I can understand the frustration based on your name, haha But lemme try to address some of your concerns

First, I do appreciate how constructive and honest the feedback was, sometimes these are taken for granted!

But anyway… I know it’s natural to compare the old system against the new one, but that’s not the best take, because with this new system, we wanted to address a lot of issues with the previous one, so:

• most important of all: every active player is getting more skins in this system than before, plus, now people have the freedom to use it how they like it

• It’s calculated that a F2P player could get up to 8 149 skins with bling per year. If you buy the pass, this number increases (to 14ish maybe?)

• the mecha Bo and crow were a bit of a mess - their Star point price had no relation with the gem economy - we took this opportunity to make the system more consistent, now all color variations follow the same pattern. Crow and Bo follows the same logic as Mortis and that’s the logic we wanna have from now on

• similar to above, the Star Points economy wasn’t great. The distribution was really poor where high skill players had waaaaay too much and casual players way too little. This new system should make things more even. You still earn more bling if you are more dedicated and skillful

• also because of the above, we had to make a harsh conversion (10:1) so we have a healthy economy. We are giving players a lot more options, and we feel that still being able to monetize on skins is a fairer way to sustain the game (because they don't affect in the actual gameplay) Still, veteran players have an advantage over new ones, and if you wanna buy a skin with SP now, you still have time before the update

• skin rarities should make this system clearer. This is VERY subjective though, so I don’t agree with your argument, specially seeing our numbers where El Corazon was one of our best 49 gem skin. If you want to be objective about it, they all have the same “changes”, therefore, the same value

• regarding legendaries and mythics not being available for bling: we already have a very F2P-friendly economy, and we made it even friendlier. We need to have something that can control the risk (because there’s some risk in that, although we expect that the excitement will pay off). Besides that, it makes them more unique and exclusive (since hopefully you’ll have more gems laying around)

• the trophy economy had some changes, but ultimately, you’ll get around the same, you just get those “doses” of bling faster, so you don’t need to wait 2 months to collect those. Pushing only 20 brawlers should make you able to push the ones you are more comfortable with

• Star points skins got more expensive, it’s true, but as I said before, players now have a say in what they want to buy and you ultimately should be getting more bling - enough to buy 8 149 skins per year (without spending gems). We just needed to fix the star point economy, which was bad

As you said, let’s see how things go, but I’d also like you to experiment the first months of the new system so we can make adjustments and discuss based on something more concrete!

Again, thanks for the constructive feedback and sorry for the typos, I’m typing from my phone without looking back - #yolo

Yep! it’ll be the same logic and prices as the Mecha Mortis!

Yes!

Yea, also available for gems! Thank you for your support (:

We were mainly worried that this huge amount of skins could literally do some harm to the game performance (when opening the shop), so our guess was that those skins were long enough in the game that players who would want thos, would have bought already

WITH THAT SAID, I'll check tomorrow with the team if we can force all the PL skins before bling comes! So try to login around 7:00 UTC!

Yep, it's a fair point!
They are all in the shop now! Enjoy while you can! :D
