I can post an updated trophy distribution on Twitter tomorrow, haven't done it in a while. 40,000+ Trophies likely still means you're in the Top 5-percentile of all players. 😉

In other words: less than 1 out of 20 players achieved 40,000+ Trophies.

Also, didn't it have a much lower play-rate than regular Solo Showdown?

Yep. People choose regular Showdown over SD+.

  1. This isn't news. We've written in detail about the ins and outs of this when it was an actual topic.

  2. It's rare that one individual in game development teams make any decisions, it's usually the product of an bunch of factors. I just happen to be on socials because I believe having a communication line with the community is important.

  3. The TL;DR on why it's not coming back? It didn't eliminate the main reason we tried it out: teaming. It just a.) pushed teaming about 50-100 Teophies higher and b.) inflated trophies faster for some individuals (without increasing their baseline skill level, which is a problem)

  4. We do have ideas for alternative SD variations and it's likely were going to try something out in the firsr half of this year - read: likely, not guaranteed. If it sucks in playtesting (ex. If we don't have fun with it) we won't release it.

Skins we promised exclusivity, we’ll honor it. Skins we didn’t promise exclusivity, won’t be exclusive

I do understand that it could get confusing, specially with the seasonal skins that were in a weird limbo because we followed a specific release pattern before, even though it wasn’t officially announced. But we made sure to announce it was their last time in the shop when this was true

We’ll still have exclusive skins and seasonal skins though, but not as many as before

Good question! App Developers set currencies in USD. The rest (conversion, VAT) is handled by the platforms, ex. Apple and Google and not directly impacted by us.

What about power point conversion to coins if we have every single brawler at lvl 11 and 4000 pp in the bank?

I believe that’s how it’s setup right now, in my account for example, since I can’t spend more power points (because it’s all maxed) it converts to coins if I try to get them

We are aware of the complaints, and we do have some theories around that but we need more data to back it up

We buffed the coins distribution to address the fact that gears, gadgets and star powers can only be got with coins, and the current pass should be very similar to what players used to get from boxes, so THEORETICALLY (we might be wrong - dunno yet) players should be getting more than before. Our hypothesis is that since players now have a lot more freedom on how to spend their resources, it’s a lot easier to spend everything quickly, where before, since Power Points were randomly distributed, you had to accumulate coins until the time to upgrade the brawler you want pops up, so that could be one reason why players feel there’s a shortage of coins

Either way, we are still checking some data (like if players are upgrading more or less if compared to the previous economy system for example) and see what we are going to do

Wouldn't that just be better though? If your 30 days didn't reset it could be 59 days if you were unlucky

Ah, yeah. It resets after 30 days. Forgot to answer that one :p

“Guarantee” i play every day, never received a jackpot, didn’t even know they were a thing until I saw this post. Stop lying and give us coins

it’s ok, dani, it’s just the internet

Could be either that one day was missed or that was confused with the free stuff we were giving away lately, the UI I guess is not so festive, so it’s quite easy to miss it

Also, if you get a jackpot, do your 30 days guarantee reset, meaning if you are unlucky, your next jackpot is 30 days away.

Nono, the test was some players having it on and other didn’t (like before this feature was developed). Of course we expected that the ones with the calendar on would have a higher retention, but we wanted to know how much - spoiler alert, it doesn’t change much, but it’s better

Trying to clarify the questions in this thread about jackpots:

  • it’s once every 30 days, not every month. Starting from the day you login. It’s a random a day among these 30.

  • it could be credits, chroma, coins, or power points

  • new players have a pre-defined jackpot in the early days (to help retention)

  • it was created to make the daily shop more interesting, but it’s not the same as a loot box because it’s a bonus and we don’t monetize on it

  • we had an A/B test with the 14 day calendar to check how much it helped retention. Players who contacted support because they didn’t get were getting it triggered manually (this is not happening anymore because the calendar is now on for everyone again)

  • everyone should get it at least once among 30 days

  • basically, login everyday to guarantee yours

there's a long answer here, which is not getting as much attention as my previous silly reply :D https://www.reddit.com/r/Brawlstars/comments/10je7qp/comment/j5nfqu8/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3

As some have said already, the engagement on the local channels were really mild, Spanish and Portuguese being the most active ones, but still not great

In order to grow those channels and provide frequent and local content, we would have to expand the team quite a lot, and even so, it might not move any needle…

It was a really hard decision and that’s why it took some time to be made, but felt like the right one as we could then work with the local community managers to focus a lot more on helping content creators and other community tasks that will help the global channels, but nobody was laid off as some are suggesting as well

We know it’s sad and there’ll be a moment of grief for the ones who were following those pages, but at the end of the day, your comment will be read just like before and the main content can be auto-translated

If you still wanna get local content, I’d recommend following one of the creators in your region, some of them will...

It’s the best map in the game imo, every brawler is viable except Frank because he’s trash

I take that personally. 😂

Came here to say that we explicityly said "sometime soon" (and in the update notes wrote "...in preparation for Duels becoming..."), but other members of the community already did that.

To make it even more clear: I can confirm, Duels will be permanent with the next update, which is currently slated for end of February. ;)
