    I would find this helpful. I never seem to have enough sugar.

    I always try to stay on top of the weekly quests, and in fairness, most of mine are sugar, but it’s often not enough. If I upgrade a rare t3 weapon, it pretty much kills my entire supply.

    I definitely don’t get enough from battle. Perhaps if I won all my battles it would be okay, but 50% are losses, which you get very little for. So you’d need to play all day to save up the ~600k needed for my ‘medium level’ crew (not even my advanced ones which 1,000,000+).

    The other alternative would be to buy sugar. But there is already too much stuff you need to pay for: inventory slots, removing adverts, skipping timers... but when you also need to pay to start the timer (and sugar isn’t cheap), it’s starting to feel like paying to pay.

    I don’t want to sound salty, but I’ve been playing a lot less the last few weeks, and I cancelled my VIP. I just don’t have time to grind 4 hours a day worth of battles to make it worth it.

    I buy pearls, but it’s still not enough to do the things I want to do, namely upgrade and combine all the stuff cluttering my inventory, and keep my crew training.

    That's not a good idea.
    I think quest are league dependent because rn m getting all sugar quest and all of them are above 100k+ so I am always full of sugar and sugar from battles is good too.
    Just try to increase your league all your problems will be solved.

    It’s not enough. If I were able to max my sugar out, I’d probably train Bhurt, which would cost me all of it. Then I’d have to wait 7 hours for another quest, or grind for ages to get enough to upgrade a weapon... then I probably need to start saving again for training, or I’ll be stuck training Mortarmer (even though I scrap every mortar I receive).

    So I never have enough sugar to advance the lower tier weapons in my inventory (all stalled at L11). I barely have enough to keep my training going.

    Soon I’m gonna run out of crew that I can train for 2-300k, and then I’m going to start having days of downtime.

    Guys.. If everyone come out here and post all their “personal issues”, it won’t lead nowhere.. it’s not because you have an issue with this that it should be solved in a way that would affect all battle bay players.

    Most of players can fill up all their sugar supply only by battling and weekly quests. You see tons of people complaining that they keep getting sugar quests with all their supply full. You have sugar from battle, from market, from quests.. you have those resources more than any other else. Adding sugar to guild raffle will be other waste of opportunity, since materials parts, even if you don’t use, they don’t have a “maximum” and can be stored. But not for sugar. Most ppl would waste 3500 tokens on something they wouldn’t get, it would be truly a waste.

    I had problems with sugar too, when I was way levels bellow. What I did was train crew that I didn’t use the most, but I could train the % supply from battle, and yes, I makes a lot of difference if you do it with many of them. Just pick two or three crews you don’t focus on and improve bonus %. And it’s normal,
    Sometimes you won’t be able to train the crew member you want and you will be stuck.

    I do comprehend that nowadays it’s very expensive to upgrade items, but it still can be done by ourselves. Guild raffle show be used for better things rather than gold, sugar, parts or cells.

    I already have a lot of the +5% talents trained. To the point where it would be difficult to use anything but my main weapons without retraining.

    I don’t see it as a ‘personal issue’, as I know there are other people at my level who struggle with sugar (I’m in Master 1). And it’s not like powercells and uncommon parts are useful to everyone either.

    See topic by @benguin8 :

    https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/game-economy-sugar.14750/

    (Edit: I posted in that topic 2 weeks ago, and I still haven’t been able to move forward with my Bhurt training. 2 weeks Bhurt has sat at the same level waiting for sugar, even though he’d be my first choice to continue training on).

    Perhaps the game needs some rebalancing after all the power creep. Back in the day, when you could get into Master 1 in your mk3 with t2 rares, 5k sugar per battle and common care packages might have been fine.

    However, nowadays you’re running into mk5 with t4 rares below 1k infamy. If you are already up around Ace 1 / Nightmare then maybe you don’t feel the creep as much, as the top is still the top, but the middle point has slipped way down, so you require better gear earlier, and you need to manage it with lower rewards.

    Kind of like those Uncommon parts and power cells are now, so for my money (tokens?) that sounds fair. ;)

    Simple answer to this would be "guild raffle rewards can always exceed your gold/sugar cap" so they wouldn't be wasted.

    How about just replacing the powercells with care packages?

    That’s a great idea. Replace cells and parts with care packages and crates. That would make the prizes much better, and help people out with sugar/gold.

    Not everyone plays 100S of games everyday,atleast training and levelling up the crew with resources should be easy enough that even ocasional 10-15 games player can keep their training uninterrupted.

    Just increase the quest rewards of sugar

    That’s not what I said. I said AT LEAST they can be stored. I’m not saying that it’s worth it.

    DEVs also added % bonus on captain level. That’s other way of helping.

    Also, great idea to implement. Would be an extra and not impact on ppl use of tokens.
