Thank you for replying! I'm actually starting to understand the perspective a lot more now so I'm very thankful you took your time to type all of this down for us

One last question if you ever get the time to see this, would there still be any bling challenges in the foreseeable future like last season? Would it remain with nerfed rewards maybe? Or is that off the table completely now and won't come back?

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

Genuine question

If the point was to increase play time so on and so forth, doesn't the CL, PL nerfs defeat that purpose? Wasn't one of the reasons bling was added was to increase engagement in PL? Doesn't this nerf directly take away excitement from playing in those modes and will eventually lead to their fallout? Especially club league. We've already lost half of our club members who said they don't think CL is worth all the effort anymore.

I don't mind starr drops but I do think maybe the PL and CL nerfs were a bit overkill. I'd say the nerf in those should be less than 50%, and adjust the starr drop's rewards accordingly. Because I don't think CL and PL will survive as they are now especially CL. Too much effort for much much less rewards than we used to get even before bling release

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...

That’s next level CSI stuff I’m honestly impressed with the skill and dedication! but one tip: when you read “gadgets” I said “gacha” which is quite similar! If the others were right or not, only time will tell :D

Sorry about that!

Following up in case you haven’t seen the message on the brawl channel: it is a bug and we are working on a fix for that! We should have a maintenance do address that this week still!

The plan is that event challenges, or something that is more casual and fun, will have unlimited chances by default. When it’s meant to be challenging (like the hardest challenge or the game mode specific ones) there’ll be limited chances.

This should make our events a lot more inclusive and fun for the majority of the players! Although I do get the argument that the “challenges are not challenging” this change shouldn’t change a thing if you have been completing the challenges before. Unless you’ve been losing the previous ones and enjoying it :D

It’d make some of the cosmetics a bit less unique, but it’s a small price we pay for salvation

Very very disappointing. Furthermore, this sets a dangerous precedent. I see that in the end, we will only be able to use blings to buy skins like Pink Piper or Blue Tara.

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but these skins have a different rule because they are a result of a partnership with another company - they were not supposed to be available for Bling, so that’s why we changed that with the maintenance

If we do have other partnerships, it’s unsure if they will be available for Bling or not, it all depends on the agreement we do with them, but it’s a case-by-case scenario

The plan is still to have the majority of the skins and cosmetics available for Bling

Thank you for the reply. And sorry for the tone, i was furious at the idea of not being able to get the 2 skins i wanted.

You see, i know they've been around for a while but, from what i've seen chatting with friends from the club and other people online, a lot of players wait to see what will the next PL skin be before deciding if they want to buy it or not because 25k SP are a huge deal so most people tend to be careful with said skins.

So they buy the old unlocked PL skins when a new one they don't like is released because they wouldn't worry then about not being able to afford both. I always carefully waited a few seasons before buying most of PL skins because i knew it would come to a point where i couldn't be able to afford them anymore.

But with such a short notice on what would have happened with these specific skins, some people have found them with old PL skins they liked not bought yet and not showing in the rotation.

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

Hello Dani.

First of all, thank you for not even considering responding to me to the post about PL skins and bling in which i tagged you today even if i see you're active. Of course, you don't have to, you're busy and all, but it's still weird seeing you randomly commenting on the same exact topic here.

Anyway, why won't we be able to claim our unlocked PL skins anymore for the same amount you said we would be able to eventually claim them? We unlocked them for a specific price for them to show up at. It's not like we didn't grind for it.

And, most importantly (because this is my main concern), why aren't you making them all avaiable now simultaneously in the shop, like you did with the mecha recolors, instead of making us wait for them to appear in the awful rotation that doesn't show up some star point skins for entire weeks? This way, i won't ever be able to get the 2 PL skin i wanted (and i could technically get now with the amount of PL i have) before t...

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!

Hey Dani, how much will the light and gold mecha skins be after you purchase the normal versions of them? Will they become cheap like with mecha mortise or will they be as expensive as other legendary skins? I really need to know because I have over 90k star points rn and I need to know if it's worth to buy them right now. Thanks in advance.

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

Will OP be rewarded ?

Hmmm, not really, sorry… because we bought from another artist who had the same idea before. It might be a bit insane if we have to go back to all the skin concepts ever created and check for coincidences. People could have the same idea without ever talking to each other, as it seems the case with this one (as OP also wasn’t aware of the other older concept) As I said, when we are aware of it, we reach out to the artist. But we don’t have the personnel, and I think even if we had, we can’t keep track of all fanart created with our IP :(

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 s...

Sorry OP, I wasn’t aware of your skin

We did reach out to another artist who had the same idea some time ago and we actually bought the concept from him https://twitter.com/brawlerscomo/status/1412007749123203073?s=46&t=q-TzrouyOUQgawOx_Z4LKQ

If we use someone’s concept, we will always reach out to the person. If we don’t, it’s because we weren’t aware about it
