BATTLEGROUNDS! PAY TO PLAY!

So I guess by getting rid of the energy timers for champs they decided to lock all the rewards behind paying for the energy to play. Not energy token refills. The energy tokens themselves. If you want them. Pay for them. Can you earn them? No. Is the game in that desperate need of money that you have to charge people money to play it? Oh but you can still play with regular energy and get some scraps! Get out of here. This is coming from a player that buys the sigil every month, that gets the summoner event tokens, that buys July fourth packages, and… well used to be a big spender on the gifting event. Kabam finds a way to make a fun game mode but then forces you to pay if you want the rewards. I’m just about done with this game. You lost a whale.

This was the most exciting game format ever to be released in MCOC & could have been the best by far. What a shame it’s ended up like this. I can’t even begin to describe how disappointed I am. Fingers crossed they can turn this around & make it what it should have been.

You earn them as you progress in the victory track, buying them is jus the easier route.

I don't understand. Almost all content in MCOC requires energy use to participate.

If you find the game mode fun you can play the free mode all day long as I understand it.

I for one do not want BG to be only about the rewards and the leaderboard. I want this to be a fun time, and with all of the many many many ways we have to get rewards and rank up materials and shards these days, I am not fussed about how BG hands them out.

Can they improve on what they've put out? Sure, and I'm guessing they will. But this iteration has been out for like four hours now, so don't you think it is a little early to quit the game over your gripes? Not that I care, but it just seems like a massive overreaction.

You can earn them without paying though…but to your point you can earn MORE of them if you pay

I agree with OP a fantastic game mode ruined by pay walls. I did a few fight won some lost some yet still have no BG tokens because I didn’t progress past a point. Where before i would have had a few hundred by now. Kabam seem to be missing players points of make this game better and fun or we leave

Simple solution, each milestone should have 50 tokens rather than every 3. Looking at the milestones for the solo and alliance event, I doubt many will reach the second one.

Preferred solution is to let energy refills count for rewards. It's a limited resource and people would still buy refills for units. Not being able to compete without paying isn't fun. Appreciate skill can get you some tokens but for the milestones you need more tokens.

If you were a true whale..you wouldn’t be complaining lol. Just go buy $200 and buy elders marks and victory shields. If you were a whale, you wouldn’t even notice the pay wall, or care.
But you are a casual spender. Think you have your terms mixed up.

And if you think they built, teased and hyped this new event mode just so you play for free then you are living in some fantasy land. And though you say you’ve been playing for awhile, it shows you haven’t learned anything in how they develop content.

Elder's Mark MUST not be limited as it immediately kills the competition aspect of the game for the top rewards (solo and alliance events). There should be a way to earn them outside of pure cash purchase.

Depending on where you are in the Gladiator's Circuit, you should be able to earn Elder's Mark.

Uru～Quantum - 30 Elder's Mark per 5 wins
Mysterium～Celestial - 30 Elder's Mark per 3 wins

Add a few in Arena, Side Quests, and/or Event Quests.

I know you said almost all game modes, but Arena and Incursions requires zero energy and has no entry fee.

I'm right there with you about trying to have fun with it but people have a legitimate gripe about the elder mark cost vs how many elder mark you can earn without spending units.

Arena and Incursions have a separate type of Entry Fee in the way of champion cooldowns. It different but it is still a limitation of endlessly playing the mode which a "cost" to participate.

the problem is there is no point to push without grinding every other mode of the game for units for more elders marks and energy refills because you won't be getting any decent rewards without using elder marks

Such a big miss conception of the word Whale...
Buying 7/4 or CM deals is within a spenders range...
Whales will spend a thousand dollars on cav crystals trying to get 1 champ...
