Badge rewards

We should get rewards for earning badges.
Badges are earned by feats of skill so why shouldn't we get something from them? Something like a premium chest for every 20 badges would go a long way in helping us make progress and feel like we are earning something for our effort.

 

Yes. We need this.

 

Absolutely agree!

 

Thinking about it, premium crates are kind of garbage lol. They should make badge crates (similar to star crates but with different tiers of rewards).
Tier 1- Rare items(20 badges) Chance for parts and power cells (bundled together), perks, items, item pieces, or care package (gold, sugar and pearls)
Tier 2- Epic items (40 badges)
Tier 3- Legendary items (80 badges)
Tiers 2 and 3 have same rewards as tier one but at a higher rarity.
*Stated badge requirements are to show scaled cost, actual necessary badges would probably be different*

Edit: An after thought, each feat could award more badges based on difficulty. I.e. Penta kill is worth 5 badges, double kill is worth 2, 1 badge for every 2 nice shots, 1 badge for every 5 long shots, etc..

 

Maybe just add some achievements based on badges. Structure is already in place, so maybe it would be easier. I would also like to see how many of each badge I have achieved over time out of interest (like you can with weapons achievements even after completing the legendary achievement for that item)

 

I thought of that and the main reason I came up with this system over that one is because with achievements it would be one and done for each rarity. With my suggestion you could continue to get rewards throughout your entire BB career.

 

Some ships have higher potential to get more badges than other ships. For example, fixer can do team heal miracle, and lifesaver, and shooter can do a whole bunch of weapon related stuff due to their abundance of weapons. Other ships like defenders and speeders don't have much potential to get that much badges. Also, this will encourage people to run into mines on purpose to get minesweeper.

Rewards are too valuable for a low price. For example, event legendary piece rewards and legendary item achievements already made it much easier to get legendaries than it used to be before. No need to make it even easier. I think we should just be able to obtain parts, pieces, and powercells from them. The higher the price, the higher amount of resources and higher chance for higher rarity stuff. Legendary pieces should still be extremely rare.

 

Too late for this. this like captain's journey. People with max badge won't get anything.

 

I don't think the badges that are essentially negative should count (minesweeper, the torpedo one, friendly sunk from splash damage that hits you), if anything these could take badges away.
Legendaries are easier to get if you nonstop grind events which a lot of people don't have time for. Getting a legendary piece from one of these would still be pretty rare considering the RNG models they use and I did mention that the price points I put on there are inaccurate.

 

This is talking about the battle highlight badges not the captain level badge cosmetics you get from season rankings.

 

Oh, lol. That's even less likely. They're constantly reducing gold/sugar rewards per battle to squeeze that VIP/ad money. No way there's going to be extra free stuff.

 

In some cases these can be useful though. Minesweeping is useful in some cases, and something like Popular implies you're a high priority target. I do think getting any form of legendary from this should be somewhat rare though. Badges have their rarity marked with stars; Nice Shots only have 1, while something like a pentakill or blind shot has more than 1. The counter should take note of this.
