Excess resources

What do you guys think about having excess resources convert to the other at a low exchange rate? Say for example your sugar storage is at max, then 10% of any sugar earned is converted to gold and vice versa. Both of these resources are used in conjunction with others, either parts for upgrades and time for training (sugar) or duplicates/PCs for evolutions and captain level for boats (gold). Because of this we often see that one storage is full while the resource we actually need is lacking.
Pros: less frustrations watching resources go completely down the drain, build your resource reserve slightly faster, leads to faster upgrades for f2p players, faster upgrades means keeping the interest of new f2p players for a longer period of time, the longer a f2p player sticks with the game the more likely they are to spend money which leads to increased revenue
Cons: decreased revenue from pearl purchases for resources (but seriously is anyone actually doing this, and also if someone really wants to speed their progress they will still need to buy resources as the exchange rate wouldn't be comparable to p2p progression rates)
That's the only con I can think of but feel free to post them if you think of more.

Even if we can buy something for sugar it wil be great!
We can buy weapons for gold (and make parts from them) and adjust the limit of gold.
Why we can do same with sugar? All players wich I know think about it

 

A conversion with a loss is definitely needed. But don't sell us short though, 10% is pathetic. Start the bargaining higher! As far as quests are concerned, sugar and gold are pretty equal. Sugar amounts are a bit lower so it is more precious.

Don't see why you can't expand your sugar and gold silo with pearls like other games. Each increase cost goes up exponentially. Why on earth is the sugar capped at 2M anyway, even at level 50. Most high level skill tree training wipes this completely out. Maybe you don't want to offer the ability to expand your silo until you hit level 40+, since the sugar cap is meant to control progress at lower levels.

Playing Battle Bay should not feel like I have my feet tied and one hand behind my back!

 

Hello, since the update it has become very easy to fill the stock of sugar while the gold stock is much more sought than before. Could you send in the gold stock, the sugar that overflows?
I have another idea: the quests, we should have the possibility to choose between gold and sugar as reward.

 

Not sure I agree with your statement. If anything I have found that sugar is now in more need because of the breakdown of leveling equipment. Rovio's math does not quite work out and it is way more than the previous system. I was level 28 with Mortimer before the update, and I would have needed say 4M sugar and 10 days to get to level 30. Now I have FOUR mortars all at Level 28 and need 1.5M for EACH to go up only 1 level. So now I need 12M sugar just to max all 4. I make sugar quests as a priority on all daily quests and now I keep running out and need to go untraining for several days before I can upgrade the next thing. Also this leaves nothing left to upgrade my weapons. Its a sugarmageddon!

 

Well, I play more than 100 games per day, so sugar is really the last thing I care about Maybe it's hard to get it for casual players with 10 games per day, I don't know. But gold is needed to buy pieces in the shop, to level up boats etc... I'm stuck at level 39 boat for a very very long time I think. Too much things to buy with it. And I prefer to buy pieces to upgrade a shield for all my boats than to upgrade only one boat with gold. Of course, I understand that those who already have levels 50 boats don't care about it.

 

Agreed. I expect the same unbalance occurred with ship levels. I would love more gold to buy more parts too!
