Brawl Stars Dev Tracker

They are set now, there isn’t a pity system added this time

You can, but it’s because Star Points were a mess and pretty much the only thing you could do was buying the PL skin Now you can buy a lot more, but if you wanna the PL skin, you would have to save your bling for this instead of something else

With that said, I think the PL skin unlock and it’s benefits might need some adjustments still, but we don’t know when we’ll tackle that yet

I agree that this could become really demanding in the long term, and we are open to change if needed, but the reason we done that is actually in your message: most of the people would stop after their tokens were done or the daily quests, now there’s something more

The argument of “play the same to get more” considers that you are not collecting all 3 everyday - collecting 2 daily or missing some days should still gives you a progression buff, but not as much of course

The idea of an improved rarity the further you go is really nice and might be something we use for events (imagine an event where you get guaranteed epic or something) or double Starr drops per milestone.. we didn’t have time to implement the event parts, but it’s something we wanna play around still!

We have the philosophy at Supercell that we play the game like anyone else. Some of us are F2P, some are heavy spenders.

The effort shouldn’t be more though, since if you play the same (playing PL and CL) you should get more than before still

Is it the daily task that you feel is too much, or the 8 wins (or both)?

Even if you miss some of the days or drops, we’ve added more to the Starr Drop reward budget, so it’s not only rewards being reallocated, but we added more rewards overall

We wanted the drops to feel really good on higher drops, if we had not moved rewards from other places, either good drops would be a lot rarer or every drop would be around 1 digit rewards

If we take your analogy, I’d say that before you would get 1k to build a house, but your working time is somehow flexible, haha Now we pay you 1200 but you have to show up to work every day - and then I think it would work better, there is a benefit, but it might stresses out people who would prefer flexibility over a raise

Bro, that was pretty good!

Hahaha :D Thanks! I’m always reading them though - but this time since the problem seems to be more on the communication side rather than on the actual content, I felt it would be useful to add more context for the changes

That’s a fair concern and we are open to still tweak the system. As someone else pointed out, people are getting more doublers than what they can use, so SEEMS a bit off

I’ll bring up to the team! But don’t expect any changes in the next months, since the whole team is on a break now and in august we’ll be focusing on the content for the next update

Thanks for the feedback! looking back now, I think the biggest problem IS the communication here, so it is still a problem on our side. Because it’s literally a buff for the same playtime as before, but it’s really hard to communicate that because the features themselves are not sending this message. “50% nerf” is such a powerful title it’s really hard to see beyond that :(

Regarding the Bling Challenges, they were released to promote the feature more, but it’s such a lot of Bling that I’d say it’s hard to have it again, maybe for a special event or something, but it would have to be a big thing to justify it coming back - with that said, Bling in challenge is something we always wanna have, even though it’s not much

It makes sense, but not if we include our casual fan base: - PL is only played by a portion of our player base. The majority of our players don’t play it - and they are also really important for us - playing PL as you played before still rewards you MORE because you are completing Starr drops on the side. I know it’s not as clear because the 50% nerf vs something you can’t clearly see is hard to believe, but note that if you get a random cosmetic, that’s at least 1000-bling worth (4 ranks in the previous PL) - CL is on the same boat but even more niche. The rewards of CL were MASSIVE for the effort you had to put in, and even then the adoption to this mode is pretty low - this leads us to believe that the problem isn’t on the reward side, but on the design of the feature - reallocating the rewards of these 2 modes where casuals (who are the majority of our players) hardly engage felt the right call to make to achieve our goal - the summary is that, if you play these modes you a...

Jumping in to clarify some things, hope you find it useful!

I think the problem with a “quick calculation” is that the context of what is actually happening is not taken into consideration, so I’ll add some extra info and respond to some of the main concerns here:

If you compare 1 to 1, new pass vs old pass, of course there’s a nerf, which was mentioned and shown in Brawl Talk - however, these rewards that you would only be getting at the end of the pass, you are getting during your normal progression from day 1. No matter how you look at it, this makes progression FASTER, even if you get only rare drops and considering the progression during tier 1 to 70.

“But how about when we get to the end of the pass?” Then you are still collecting 3 Starr Drops a day that should actually be MORE than what you would get from the previous brawl pass tail rewards

“I don’t like that I have to play every day” This argument is something I can get behind though. We d...

A thing of beauty. 🙌

It's indeed a bug. We disabled it for now and will address the issue before re-enabling it.

We'll likely remove the 170 "extra" gems in the coming days in an automated fashion. I suggest not to spend them, since you'll just end up with a minus balance. 😉

Ironically I was also one of the affected people myself, but since I pretty much always have gems on my account, I didn't realize until someone pointed it out... 😅
