Best Of

The biggest most obvious problem, the conversion rates. These rates are abysmal to say the least. The prices on items seem fair but the conversion rates are absolute dogshit. To me the only things worth buying are T6CC, the T4A, 7* Sigs, and Relic mats.
Next, the cap on the conversion rates is such a stupid and disgusting thing to do. I like many people I know, saved and didnt claim a lot of glory hoping to trade them in for a good amount of essentia for better purchases, but not only are the rates horrible, theres a limit to how much you can exchange, half the items are priced awfully.

Another problem is getting rid of all the other stores right on launch of the essentia store. Like they plan to do with the mysterium store, the launch of essentia should have also been a gradual change and shift to this new currency.

The last few problems, is the lack of items to purchase, and the HORRID pricing of raid tickets. Like half the essentia players can get at the moment will be used just for raid tickets, which is made worse by the fact that raids start today.

Honestly this is overall just a good concept, with horrible execution. I do not mind Kabam spacing out content and updates like the new Carina's coming out weekly and not at once to gain retention for the game, but adding the caps to already such horrible rates is not a good first look.

What happened yesterday was deliberate, the choices you made were methodical and determined long ago and I know the community is dying to know the REAL thoughts and expectations behind what happened.

1. The rollout was horrendous, removing all the other stores with no real warning, the traders outpost not updating at the same time was just concerning and I can put this down to a bug maybe they were supposed to land together
2. The purchases within the stores, some of them are just pitiful but don't harm anyone, 1 6* sig stone a week is laughable, 5 signets is terrifying... That won't even cover 2 BG matches so was you expecting people to spend units here? Not to mention the traders outpost and having less availability there than before.
3. The glory situation, you know people have glory in overflow and even if we didn't, glory from last week and the coming week is a lot more than the petty 400 a week trade in, so we were always going to have it expire so you just wanted to watch earned resources disappear?
4. The raids tickets, this a huge decision you made, this was not a mistake it was intentional. Use a 3rd of our Essentia or 1000 units is outrageous, this is nothing but greed and inconsideration for the actual game itself, if this hadn't changed I know that most allies would not have touched Raids this week. This was disgusting.

After the last 2-years have so many problems, issues and general bad decision this is truly the cherry on top. We all saw you scrambling away in the background, changing things after seeing everyone's reactions and even now the changes haven't all implemented, there's still a Glory cap so I can't claim my radiance and the only thing I can spend Glory on now is raid tickets... I have over 800, I don't need more

I really hope, for the sake of this game, we get a real response to this, not more ****

The worst thing about this whole Essentia debacle is realising how stupid I was for getting excited about a new addition to the game.

We watch the livestreams every month and we buy into the hupe, I get excited about new champs, new game modes, new QoL changes, and in this instance, the idea of a new currency in a new store.

I was excited about converting all of my battlegrounds token, Glory, loyalty etc into the new currency to spend on rank up materials and maybe some previously unavailable items.

And then we see the new store.

Cap limits on currency conversion. While we're still being rewarded with the old currencies.

Such a massive let down.

Thanks for making me feel so stupid for getting excited Kabam.

This will not be forgotten and it will absolutely have an impact on me for every new announcement into the future.

I don't like feeling stupid. You made me feel stupid.
