Im worried about the system that makes you use points to buy characters instead of passively earning them. It means new players can't grind out characters they are limited to earning a certain amount of points per day.

Functionally it's the same and the tunings are similar.
- For new agents, all players are opted into the Agent Recruitment event and start earning progress to unlock the new agent. No more forgetting to activate the latest contract and wasting a couple of games of XP against an old agent contract you don't care about anymore.
- For older agents, you earn KP passively just through playing. The advantage here is that you can bank up KP and then decide on which agent you want to unlock (versus having to decide days/weeks ahead of time).
So no more free skins from the contracts? Bummer. Finally got all agents and wanted to grind to a skin
The agent gun skins are still there!
wait what if I don't have all agents unlocked yet? Will they unlock automatically or something cause the dev said it will only activate new agent contracts
Old agents can be unlocked using Kingdom Credits.
All new agents from here on out will have an Agent Recruitment Event, which is like an event pass, which turns on automatically.
I hope we can get the agent teaser cards. For the agents who got those, they're the best cards to use if you main the agent IMO.
I want those cards too!
Yeah, I'm usually pretty cynical but it feels like people are really overreacting based on the concept of the system. It definitely could've been awful if they f**ked with the numbers, but if what's shown in the video is accurate, this system is just going to be better for everyone.
Thanks for believing in us! I’m hoping when everyone gets to try it out, they’ll see this as an exciting change.
how does this affect people with all the agents though
You’ll still earn Kingdom Creds, which you can spend on the stuff that used to be in the Agent Contracts (KJ Shorty, Fade cards, Reyna sprays, etc.). Or you can spend those Creds on the old battlepass stuff.
Basically, if you own all the agents you can spend your Creds on other fun stuff. And when a new agent comes out, the agent pass activates automatically and for free so you don’t need to spend Creds there either as long as you finish the pass. Win win.
i’m wondering how it will effect my trying to finish their contracts. i want to get all of the free cards skins and stuff from the contracts, but if it’s gonna take 8,000 of the new currency i don’t think it will be worth it
If there’s a contract reward you’re trying to finish, finish it before the new act. The level 10 skin is a lot of XP right now so if you’re close it’s probably better to finish it before patch 7.00 since you’re part way there already.
Nothing changes.
This is correct! You can just spend the free Kingdom Creds currency your earn on old battlepass stuff now which imo is pretty cool. I’m excited to get some of the cards I missed, like the Yoru painting card.
Nothing, have slightly less things to spend points on.
Or you can spend it all on old battlepass stuff!
Assuming the numbers in the video are generally correct, this system should at the very worst be on-par with what we currently have. And while there are some scummy elements to KP, it essentially turning XP into a store-able currency has some big benefits for the players:
- You can 'store' your daily progress for future use, like buying new agents when you return from a break, or instantly buying the new agent's gear without having to grind weeks for it.
- In a similar vein, unlike XP which is locked in when you earn it, KP lets you change your mind about where to spend it, so maybe you're working on some agent gear but a cool spray shows up, you can spend your KP on that instead.
- New agents are unlocked by XP, but you still earn KP, so you get to double-dip a little there.
- The video shows 200K XP to unlock agents, which is the same as what it is now.
I'm all for being skeptical, but feels like people are seriously overreacting here. Worst case, you ignore it entirely and just play the game as you always have. For most people, these changes just mean you'll get to pick up a banner or spray every once in awhile that you wouldn't otherwise have had.
This is a pretty good analysis! When you try it out, lmk what you think. Genuinely curious to hear how everyone feels once they’ve tried it out.
