    It wasn't as much a matter of not liking a perk as the fact that there were 8 perks and usually it was you may really want one, 4 were useless, and a couple more may be interesting some day. In order to get a 50% chance at the one perk you wanted it was necessary to hoard 4x900 coins (3600). My first two Legendary Perks were not only identical (meaning both can't be used on the same item even if I wanted it), I knew right away this whole system was stacked against the player. The RNG system was built to encourage coin hoarding.

    That's a load of crap. Maybe it was too good for new players (IMO it was), and maybe limits could have been put on unlimited grinding (IMO reasonable), but for Ace/NML it was far more balanced than giving one Legendary piece per Container. Far more.

    From prior thread in which it was asked about losing coins:
    I guess it was naive of us to assume that this statement, taken at face value, meant we were going to be given one last event to purchase the same things that were always available with the coins.
    But I guess they could have raised the price of the crates to 200 coins per crate and the above statement would still technically have been correct.

    Your complaint stated above is not about perks, but with your inability to get parts and pieces.

    This exactly.

    I had 350 last week that I wanted to spend on pieces, but decided to hold them back until I had 900 for a perk. Now that option is gone without warning.

    The worst part is, 5v5 TDM events are one of the hardest events for me to grind coins on. I doubt I’ll even manage to hit 900 this week. So I’ll probably be forced to spend all my coins on perk crates, which have a 95% chance of giving insta-scrap.

    Might as well have just deleted my coins.

    Well .. we will see what this new system is, but I have a feeling NML is about to get a lot less crowded .. if it's as I fear.

    If there are no more item pieces, there is no more progression left for me .. and I don't think I'm alone .. for those with max epics+ willing to stick around, they'll dominate NML for the years it takes everyone else to catch up .. for everyone else, the lack of progression will be game over.


    There were complaints about guild rivalries, matchmaking, balance issues, fire bonus calculations, unregistered hits or inaccurate splash circles, lack of variety, lack of new ships/items, gear score issues, seal clubbing issues, etc. and so on ....

    But, other than early access to legendary weapons possibly messing with early level progression and a few players taking advantage of it with #nolife grinding and seal-clubbing, there were no complaints about event item pieces themselves. In fact, they were probably the best part of the game for 90%+ of the players.

    So, it's an interesting tactic to modify that system .. the fan favorite. The one thing that kept high-level players interested in your game.

    Anywho, I'll reserve judgement until after I see the new system, but, in the prophetic words of the magic 8-ball: "outlook not so good."

    Unless this new system is somehow better than the current one, we're back to taking 6-12 months to get enough pieces for a single legendary item

    They could have given an option to exchange battle coins into new reward, so everyone doesnt have to waste their coins on perk boxes which always give garbage.
    I have been saving and got 6500+ coins, but now me and everyone have to spend them on useless perk boxes.

    I assume this is mostly about the whales not having a large enough advantage over the ones grinding and seal-clubbing T3+ legendaries out of events ... which is understandable. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    But .. it's easy enough to create a new level of item rarity for those willing to drop tens of thousands .. and to adjust the drop rates and raffle/shop/event legendary availability up a bit.

    Mythic or Dark items, for instance, could be the next level .. and since graphic design is the one thing they excel at, they can even add some projectile effects to them.

    Anywho ... that seems like a better option than taking the best part of the game and reverting back to strictly p2w ticket timers or killing progression in some other way .. assuming that's the direction this is going.


    But, perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself.. People don't usually surprise me, but it has happened before.

    Either devs listened to the community or we misunderstood what was displayed (maybe cut off somehow). Either way, nice to see that everyone gets what they want for the last coin event and the devs aren’t as heartless as some previous posts have painted them.

    Thank you Developers for keeping the piece crates for one more week to allow us to spend our saved up coins.

    It is entirely possible to progress without money or event rewards. I made it to nightmare completely f2p before events were a thing
