Out of date BG rewards

The out of date BG rewards have made the mode pretty worthless. It’s a shame because it was fun competing. The amount of time and effort it takes to get high ranks has just made it pointless though with the state of the current rewards. You just made 6* awakening gems, yet they are still being rewarded. 6* sig stones pile up and are just dumped into whatever isn’t sig 200. 6* shards still being treated as a proper reward while I have close to 50 r3 7* are just pointless.

Update the rewards if you want people actually buying elders to play the mode.

Then why you playing lol

Yep fully agree i wont be playing alot of BG this season. Top 1 Rewards would not even make the tiniest change in my Account…

Definetly hear you, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Just out of curiosity, and others feel free to jump in and share yours as well, but I would love to hear what you think a realistic updated reward set for BG might be. Can't and won't promise any changes based off of this, but always good to have this info handy!

Definitely gc need to be buffed to hav a few tier 4 aplha in them atm it doesn’t live op to to content consider there already r4 in the game

captain_rogers

I think buffing bg rewards are easy, if you follow to approach of keeping everything in a single point, i. e. Buffing battleground store. Ik the store was recently buffed and while some items like t4a were great value for the price for valiants, items like 7* shards and relic mats are still overpriced. And another suggestion is to remove the shards from solo milestones and just give us trophy tokens instead, similarly more trophy tokens in VT. Gc rewards definitely need a big update since it's extremely outdated.

I feel like a general price decrease for everything in the store is fine, the 6* shard work as iso, and it’s not harmful to just have 6* stones in your inventory, if you don’t need them, then just don’t buy them.

the relic stuff is pretty cool to have, and I find myself needing it more often then I would care to admit, but again it’s pretty pricey.

The 7* shards are priced way to high for the amount, doing dse gives a near equivalent amount for free, the amount should be increased to 1750, or the price should be brought down to 2500, either or works. 7* have been in the game for a good while, these prices are adjusted as if they just released.

T4a feels fine actually, it’s well adjusted and set. I think I could see myself justifying buying some if I needed.

other catalyst stuff could be generally overpriced as well, t6b and t3a at 1500 is a good price. Having t5c at 1250 is great, since t6b and t3a and t5c are generally made to go together ( for the 6*s) they should be priced similarly, having the t6b and t3a at 2k is unjustified in my eyes ( I need to stop using justify ) especially after the offer we just got.
The t6c selectors are good priced, and I buy them as often as I can, the crystal is good where it’s at as well.

nobody buys the t5b, but it’s cool having it there just in case you want to rank up a random 6* for carina or something else, no need to remove or change. As well as the sig stones, those are fine too for the same reason.

this feels realistic, overall it’s just adjusting prices,

JackTheSnack

More t4a for sure

ChrisBosio

BGs feels like a "top off your roster" mode, at least for me anyway. I think it is decent for the reward ladder, but the top end really feels like they should earn latest and greatest materials to break through the top of their roster. 1.5 T7B for first scaling all the way down to an amount that a bottom tier GC player can earn 1 R4 through BGs in a calendar year? Maybe increasing trophy tokens a bit and upping the limit on T6CC as they are more and more important as we have moved off of 6* (Valiant/High level paragons)

I think some awakening gem shards and T4A would draw some competition.

Lost____one

I think having milestone rewards having some store currency would be a good addition and maybe more then 2 bonus levels or adjusting the rewards to be progression based.

BigTuna_2054

The amount of titan shards for sure need to be updated in the rewards for mysterium and celestial finishes. You could put smaller amounts of Titan shards in lower GC rankings. 2,500 titan shards for celestial is a joke at this state for the grind it takes.

Thanks for asking for input though @KabamPinwheel

Trek26

I think it should be a victory track thing so everyone gets it. Top tier player already get the best of everything so putting it in vt would make it a little more of a level playing field

KabamPinwheel

Of course! Whenever there is a pain point in a system, in this case the rewards, I get curious what the cause is. Value is a tricky thing because whats good for one person can be bad for another. I think its fair to say based on the thread that there are plenty of folks who think the current rewards don't have the value they want, but figuring out that next part, the subjective part of what would be considered valuable, that often requires a lot of group input. So I saw an opportunity to nudge this in a productive direction haha. End of the day folks criticize things that they're passionate about, if they didn't care they wouldn't comment, so because I know that that caring is there I know there's a next step we can get out of it.

Anyways, mini spiel just explaining why I always love asking for input in cases like this

Can go in order

Solo rewards - Most outdated. The milestones should switch to 7* shards. The rank rewards need to remove all 6* items like the awakening gems and sigs and shards.

Solo Ranked rewards for All the tiers from Uru to C1. The main rewards for this used to be the relic items, which the game team has already deemed outdated. Need to bump 7* rewards and rank items for all these tiers. Maybe even add a full titan to c5-6 tiers and then go down 15k titan shards for mysterium and so forth all the way down. The rank rewards are really just overall not worth it for the amount of effort and time it takes to play all those matches to rank highly.

Alliance rewards - these are all pretty outdated as well. Both milestones and rank need to improve. Add 7* sig stones. Bump the t4 alpha amount.

Xguard77

Adding 7 star class AG shards would be motivating. Maybe 5,000 (50%) per season in the solo event milestones.

55 Burgers, 55 Fries, 55 Tacos, 55 Pies, 55 Cokes, 100 Tater Tots, 100 Pizzas, 100 Tenders, 100 Meatballs, 100 Coffees, 55 Wings, 55 Shakes, 55 Pancakes, 55 Pastas, 55 Peppers, and 155 Taters.

BringPopcorn

Stop putting relic rewards if you guys don't plan on introducing new relics would be a good start.
And based on the 0 ammount of embers as rewards it seems obvious you guys don't plan anything new...

SirGamesBond

Indirectly confirmed we won't get old type of relics. It will be relics 2.0

Gamer

While that’s great it way to much unless it going to be 1m points to get it.

JESUSCHRIST

1. Remove the cap limit on battlegrounds related currency like elder marks and trophy tokens
2. Change all rewards to just elder marks and trophy tokens
3. Update the battlegrounds store to sell items correlated to progression level with lower progression level items not removed from battlegrounds store, players get trophy tokens as reward from playing battlegrounds and they can choose whatever they want to buy from the battlegrounds store

Zeke_the_Xbot

Not a huge BG grinder myself but, personally I feel like the solo milestones should be updated to focus more on store access. I don’t see the reason for the small amount of shards rewards. It just doesn’t feel like it aligns with the mode. Suggest just making it trophy tokens and reduce the cost of shards a little more in the store and add Titan shards to the shop maybe like 5 500 shard buys for like 1000 a pop to start.

Obviously ranked rewards both for GC and Solo and Alliance events all need a major upgrade. Relic mats also feel a little overpriced imo. These materials are no players major focus or at least majority players focus. I know the mode seems to lend itself as the relic mode but if a player is forced to choose between relic stuff and normal champion materials most are leaning towards champion materials.

So to sum up:
-Replace solo milestones or add trophy tokens to them and increase the shard amounts to.
-Another store update to include Titan shards and another price drop.
-Increase the rewards for VT mainly more trophy tokens.
-Overhaul the Rank rewards for GC, Solo and Alliance ranks. R3 7* mats shouldn’t be considered a big ask 1 year into their life cycle.

I don’t expect my expectations or anyone else’s to be met in full or near what I would hope especially since I didn’t declare any specific values for things besides a Titan Shard buy option in the shop. But I hope the team can bring something to the table so to speak.

N8buckeye08

I’ll add one more thing. The solo event milestones should really be a level selector. Frankly, it’s overly generous already to lower level accounts that want to grind out losses and get an account-changing 7-star in two months. Valiants should at least get a full 7-star every month if they max out the milestones. Even that probably isn’t going to motivate anyone to play much more than to make Gladiator’s circle and hit the 3 wins every other day. I’d say raise the top milestone to 400k and include 10k titan shards a month.

Double_Helix

This got me thinking back to when the BG store first came out, in season 1 (and then got an immediate, inadvertent buff when they changed the scoring and added more tokens). 6*'s were very meta at that point, and you could get 30k shards per week, or 50 generic sig stones, or some combination of the two (with enough tokens in the end-of-season rewards to cover off-season purchases). That allowed thinner rosters to open 12+ new basics per month, and more advanced rosters to open 8+ featured champs, or to quickly rank and max-sig their top champs. At the time, that store was *epic* and was by far the best rewards in the game. In todays terms, it would be like having access to 2 full titans per week or 50 generic 7* sigs, without ever running out of tokens. Admittedly, that store was too good and needed to come down to earth, but now the most meta weekly rewards in the store are, what... half a T4a and a handful of 25% T6cc crystals? The nature of the store has changed *significantly.* It's no longer a viable route to champion acquisition or sig stones. In fact, I don't even look at the shards anymore, since 6*'s are increasingly non-relevant and the 7* shards are sooooooo overpriced.

TotemCorruption

If the BG rewards are going to continue leaning heavily into 6 star rewards, then at least make T2 dust an option to buy from the BG store.

kvirr

THIS !

BeastDad

Step 1, remove all 6* rewards for valiant players. Or at the very least let milestone rewards be selectors.

I don’t want, or need a single 6* anymore. Give us the resources to make actual progress with 7*’s even if it is a small amount. 7* AG shards, titan frags etc.

TotemCorruption

There was already an uprising when they removed 5* sig stones for Valiants. I can't even imagine what would happen if they removed all 6* rewards....
Actually, I can imagine.

GroundedWisdom

I don't think removing Rewards is the way to go. They could add Titan Shards and T4A, reduce the cost of 7* Shards. However, just because some people don't focus on lower Rewards doesn't mean everyone wants them removed.
