    Hi there,
    I want to ask 2 questions:

    -WHY DID YOU PUT OFF GUARANTEED EPIC CELL FROM SCRAPING T2 RARES ITEMS?

    -this game is made to have fun with many ships and weapons, surely with a main set, but.. so if you don't let us up our weapon tiers (really harder now with this last WOW update -.-) what should we do with all saved epic items in inventory? We will never be able to make them all t5 in this way.

    Solutions: remove cells, like you removed needed talents to up tiers or at least reduce needed cells to its half.

    Remove power cells or make them more available like in the market and cost as much as weapon pieces but not just one cell since you need 40 to go to tier v

    When did this change? After the 4.1 update?
    Can anyone else confirm that you no longer can get an EPIC Powercell from scrapping a Tier 2 Rare item?

    I asked someone in global and they said, scrapping a t2 rare gives 5 rare powercells now. Lol I'm speechless

    WTF! Why would they change this and not tell anyone? OH Wait a minute, this is BattleBay, half of every update is left out of the patch notes and we just have to find out the hard way when they make changes.
    I hadn't quite reached the point of running out of Epic Cells yet (I just started getting enough dupes to take some items upto Tier 5). Now I am trying to save up Epic Parts. But very soon, those Epic cells will be gone once I take a couple more items up to tier 5.

    I only got one epic power cell from scrapping my tier v rare turbo so there is no guarantee on any epic power cells.

    They need to make a system where we can trade in lower level power cells for higher level power cells.

    I’m a little confused about why they are making it harder to get power cells now. This type of game generally seduces players with progression - lots and lots of little bits of progression. This effectively shuts it down for a lot of players. And maybe you could argue that they are trying to get people to buy cells, but at the cost of them I’m sure very few people actually do. It seems that more people would leave in frustration than the sales would mske up for.

    Maybe I’m wrong. They have the data to mine. But from my perspective running out of power cells would kill my interest in the game.

    I am having shortage of Rare power cells , i think they should put powercells in market shop or just remove it because i have lots of rare items i can but material from market but can't get powercells . this thing doesn't make sense . this game keep everything very random , you can't choose between Interceptor or Reaper pieces . you can't choose what when you gonna get from boxes or when you finish ten pieces. you can have copyies of item but can't have power cells .

    Dear god get rid of the fricken power cells already. So frustrating to be stalled completely on progression, but then get matched up with substantially stronger players and get clubbed.

    Power cells won’t go away. It’s Rovio’s way to earn a living. Sucks that they’ve basically done a bait and switch with power cells. They eliminated the event reward for cells. Now this. Next will probably nerfing the number of cells from guild quest rewards :(

    I take it back. Scrapped a level 11 rare and got 5 epic cells. Random is ok I guess :)

    Only the people with money to burn buy power cells and that's all rovio cares about, but that seems bad for the long term success for the game to stay relevant by keeping players interested and playing. Even free to play players are important to the game because they're the majority and without them this game that I love will not be around forever. I am not a big spender btw I'm VIP every month and the once in a blue moon great offer.

    Scrapping a T2 rare will give you 1 or 5 epic cells, or a legendary cell.
    Nothing has changed.

    Not really...You can't buy power cells with in or out of game currency, and lets face it, Power Cell shortages were still common even when they were available in the Events. Power Cells have never been balanced properly in this game, as evidenced by the complete uselessness of common and uncommon cells followed by shortages of Rare, then Epic, then Legendary.

    You can get them with lots of scrapping, but it's both tedious and annoying. That requirement to mass scrap to progress in this game without a reasonable user interface to do so is even more annoying than the existence of them in the game.
