Thoughts on new Battlegrounds store

Choices, prices, etc.

Comments

Not sure what I was hoping for, but this is not it. The price of 6* sig stones seem ridiculous. 20 generic stones costs more than 10k 6& shards. Nothing in there really looks enticing imo

I get that it’s still in beta (3rd round how many more will we have to see?) but personally the energy cost and lack of anything exciting in it will stop me from wasting time on it.

Meh, it’s like incursion prices, not reallly worth it but something to build on while bored. It only takes a month to earn 2,000 6* shards on incursions lmao

GrassKnuckles

It's better than the last 2 betas...

I get that’s it’s a beta, but how many beta’s do we need. This a month long! Feels like this is the actual game mode now, but Kabam wants to drip feed it out. The reward costs feel a bit outdated already.

Normax_X

store is fine but 45 unit refresh cost is atrocious

For beta it's good but somehow I feel that for effort you must put in to the Battlegrounds soon will make them to become boring and not worth it same as Incursions. Basically Battlegrounds will be Incursions 2.0 if nothing gonna change.

If these rewards will be the actual ones… the game mode will die just like Incursions.

I LOVE Incursions (when I have a good partner) but there’s simply no reason to play it for the rewards. Battlegrounds will suffer the same fate if Kabam is that stingy with rewards.

I guarantee that if they made the rewards awesome - like a 1-2 generic gem, and awakening crystal, 20 signature stones for 6 stars, people would love this game mode.

The graphic of the stores shows a T6b but you cant even buy frags. False advertising.

But it's not. This is a beta with a beta store. These don't reflect the actual content that may or may not be in the store upon official launch

Free stuff for trying out the beta. I call that a win.

Am I terrible at math, or does doing all the challenges (which are on a 27 day cooldown) give you a total of 6k Trophy Tokens and then, for example, you have a limit of 15/15 1k 6* Star Shards that totals for 204k Trophy Tokens...on the same 27 day cooldown...

Do you get seasonal ranking Trophy Token rewards?

The play marches solo objectives reset every 48 hours, and the wins solo objective resets every week. I'm assuming you're cav and meant to say 21.4k for the 6* shards, regardless, those reset every week too

Both the challenges and the store are showing as resetting in 27 days for me. Bug? And no, I'm currently Uncollected, but the cost of 6* Shards shouldn't change once I hit Cav, since I can't even buy those shards without being Cav? Currently it shows as 1360 Trophy per 1k 6*Shard

Where the 4 star shards at? I thought I'd get some iso from this like the incursions

The costs seem to be very close to what we'll see in actual mode
May be the rewards should also reflect that cost
Also it looks like we aren't getting any additional energy refills
Kabam seems to expect a lot of beta testing this time since the milestones require 30 wins which roughly translates to 60 matches per week, & even more for higher rank players due to pervasiveness of modders
And 60 matches mean roughly 13 energy refills per week, assuming that no match is wasted due to bugs, glitches & modders
Those 60 can be brought down to 40-45 or even lower depending on how many milestones one goes for, but it still seems a bit excessive IMO
I'm all for extensive testing with 60 or even 100 matches if it didn't cost this much

It's beta
I gonna get 6 star generic stones
I am happy, as I can care less about 6 star shards (except very few I have top tier champs in each 6 star class), Aq glory store is my t5cc,t2a,t1a,t4cc,t4bc,t5bc sources so I don't care about the same.

I believe when live BG and store comes up we will see slightly reduced price and increas in amounts which I am expecting to happen. Only complain I have is energy issue ( or refreshing champs can be reduced to fair amount of unit ot some other way should be introduced)

Curious where you're at progression wise, if you dont mind saying.

Picture shows t6b, no frags to be found. The post was asking about the battleground store. The current one. Beta or not, they can fix the graphic.

Reward/effort ratio seems out of whack. Game mode seems fun but there will need to be more enticing stuff to keep me interested.

It’s fine just need to lower energy cost to 10 or champ refresh to begin refreshing as soon as they lose 1 energy.

Sean_Who

Won't judge it based on it being in beta. I will say, it's not enough of an incentive to get me to play and give feedback on the beta (which I'm guessing is what they're trying to do with the rewards).

Energy cost is the killer for me, so I'm not even inclined to push for the objectives but I hope that the store isn't based on objectives in the live version.

Mysterio

As someone hunting for 6* shards. This store offers me a lot of shards for a lot of time. I don't know if it is the best deal but just looking at the shards, it is not bad.

I am throne breaker with act 7 100% mate. Have 1 r4 , will have for 2nd too once I do the last Carina abyss challenge.👍👍👍

If spending a few units on masteries is outdated and in need of a tune up, then spending 45 on a refresh is even more absurd

rockykoston

The cost at the moment isn't proportional to the time spent at all. Not even close.

Nice. Was mostly asking cuz you seemed enticed by expensive sig stones, rather than cheaper rank up or 6* shards, but went on to mention utilizing the glory store for t1a. Personally can't remember the last time I bought t1a from the glory store and might buy 1 or 2 t4b per cycle.
