    I totally agree with you. I have also experienced it. Devs should look into the matter closely.

    Could you further explain on the question I have raised? Confusions are being spread that 48 tickets a day X 3 = 144 tickets which can't equate to getting a legendary perk.

    Depends on your average star gain and matches played simply.

    You have a base of 5, and an ability to gain 144 free tickets = 149 tickets total. Let's say you use them at 50% efficiency, which means you end up with 74,5, round it up to 75 for simplicitys sake.

    With 75 matches, you need an average of 1,66 stars/match to reach the legendary perk.

    Again though, this number changes based on how well you perform and how many tickets you actually use.

    How does that help when comparing to the first event,
    the wait time is doubled , where else the stars requirements are reduced by approximately 29%?

    In first event somebody got 5 LEGENDARY perks, clearly they had to change something.
    Changed to wins and we were all in agreement it was the worst, so they listened and changed again.
    Crunching the numbers, it looks feasible to get a legendary perk, but will be harder.

    Because your effective playtime was not halved, as you waste more tickets eg. during the night with the old system than this one.

    There's people who say the devs don't listen. Here's their proof that they do listen.

    No it depends more on how the team performs, in the 3v3 last week I got 7 kills, double the amount of damage of anyone else on my team and we still lost so just because an individual performs well doesn’t mean team will win. That means unless u really lucky to get good teams all the time it is unlikely u will win half your games..

    Also increasing the timer to 30 minutes for ticket regen punishes f2p unfairly and rewards p2p who can but the gems, so once again the devs show they only want money before game balance(yes I fully understand you need to make a profit but without the f2p players there wouldn’t be enough players to keep the other players in the game).

    You lost me there. Based on my understanding, i lose double the tickets with the old system as compared to now , but i gain more game play time during the day.

    When you calculate the loss of "Opportunity to play" at night , you cannot disregard the "Opportunity to play" at the day time.

    Doesnt looks right to me.

    Agree totally, under this new system you get less tickets while you are awake so u play less games, hence lose chances to gain stars so less chance of getting leg perks.

    All this equals forcing us to use pearls and will widen the gap between p2p and f2p

    In retrospect, the win battle is the most unbiased way , where else stars favour defenders & Shooters. Personally i am a shooter.

    Some may argue that the noob players are a burden/leech/obstacle towards the win, but isnt that how the infamy system works as well.

    Can you play while you're at work? Or at school? Or reading a book? Or playing basketball with your friends? They gave us the opportunity of having the utmost fun with the game and still have quality on our lives

    This event requires stars, not wins.
    So if you perform well, you can still earn stars and progress.
    If they had disregarded the opportunity to play in the day time also, then we would have seen no reduction in stars.
    They reduced the requirement by 29% to compensate for the matches you are losing in the day.

    My suggestion is:
    • Stars instead of wins (like it is now)
    • 1 x round of each event so those who made it up to Legendary then is over.
    • Option to change each perk you got from each level with pearls with the same amount or a bit more like when you want to remove it from items.
    • Tickets 5(free) + unlimited purchased with options like guild boosts to use paid or free. (Balance on that is the 1 x round of whole event)
    That will be fair for all who do not have time to spent on deathmatch and the only limitation is that you get 1 perk only.
