    So I was thinking after the goddam #$@_ time in a row that I got a carronade after combining 10 carefully saved and bought and collected pieces that there's gotta be a better way. And so I thought why not offer players the chance to re-roll their result? You could easily offer the first re-roll for combined rare pieces at 10 pearls, second re-roll at 20 pearls, third at 40 etc. While upping the re-roll for epics for a starting value of 20 pearls for the first re-roll.

    I reckon I would spend more pearls doing this than gathering 3900 for an off chance at a weapon I don't bloody want

    So you feel like the game is not RNG enough allready, and want an other option to spend real money for RNG minigames?
    What about put an full loadet epic item in shop and sell for Perls? Like, Tons of pearls? I would rather do this than spend my money gambling a litte more...

    edit/ dont get me wrong, i dont dislike the idea. just want to point out that the game lost a lot of controlled actions already.

    Yeah, don't get me wrong either. Definately I would prefer to buy items from the store, but you gotta work within the system, and if the Devs have decided one way then why fight the system? 10 pearls can be saved over a while at least, and I would re-roll that for another chance. Maybe even watch a couple more ads, solutions mate, can't roll the clock back.

    Actually, I have a different idea in mind but I would like to share my idea with pieces.
    Instead of rerolling, I am thinking about 2/3 items showing up after combining so that the player can choose which one they want most. Not sure, but I think this could also balance (if you get something you want out of the ones that show up, great. If not, bad luck) the progressing of players.

    Responding to the rerolling idea, NOT saying that it's awful, but just saying if you could collect "reroll tickets" and use them (plus more resources) to make it work. *Purpose of this suggestion: Avoid spamming and abuse of rerolling for payers

    Hope my suggestions and points help with the discussion. ;)

    Maybe, you could buy re-roll tickets with stars? put that next to useless currency to some sort of use. I like your idea to have a choice of weapons btw.

    I HAVE an idea of before combining items,it will ask you what item do u want,1 slot or 2 slots,and combine and item according to the chosen slot.also,it can reroll it for 7 stars per turn(maybe except green items because green items are already.......lol)

    i dont want to fight the system, every comment i make is with the hope to reflect how this game feels and due to this help the devs make a great game (or make a great game even better). i would rather leave than fight, there are enough games to play and time is short :) (oh my dear steam library. Gaben, take my money :D) . But i like it so i try to improve it sharing my view, i hope i will never offend somebody by doing so.

    Would much prefer actual choice over more rng to fight through.

    Fx a suggestion from the old forums (and above as well): Once you combine you are faced with 3 choices and get to pick the one you prefer (could perhaps be 2 for non weapons).

    Having seen how freemiums usually develop the OPs suggestion is about 8000times more likely to happen though :)

    This would let people spend their money how they want, also it lets you get off without having bad luck or getting angry from getting a bad weapon.

    Id also like to add that if you scrap something, Please EXCLUDE that particular item from what you can get once you combine item pieces. The item shouldnt be completely excluded from the item pool. But at least add a feature like last scrapped item is excluded from what you can get. Nothing worst than scrapping an epic that you dont want then get that exact same item back once you finally combine 10 pieces. Its heartbreaking.

    That's why I suggested my method. To prevent pearl-purhcases from spamming reroll absolutely break the progression (and matchmaking) system. Having 2 or 3 item choices showing up gives people choice to pick one they prefer most, and at the same time doesn't ruin the RNG (because you also have a chance to get unlucky).

    @dikshift I'm guessing you've never been hit by a high level carro? Those things are insane.
