    Honestly, a 6-hour timer would be more annoying cause it'd force you to log back on every 6 hours like arena. If I'm gonna play I wanna sit down and play. Not have to do it 2-3 times a day. I stopped doing arena for a reason.

    This is just Incursions with Arena added. Terrible idea.
    Why is 6 hours more annoying? I get why it’s still not your ideal playstyle because you want to play in one go, but at worst it’s the same as 18 hours for you. I don’t get how it’s more annoying.

    You could do your big sit down and play like 30 mins away from the timer reset, then you can straddle the timer and get a big session in. Surely that’s better than having 18 hours?

    Anything that has you logging into the game 2-3 times a day as opposed to 1 is annoying. AQ and AW rewards are good enough to be a mode that I'll do it. These don't look like it's worth it, like the arena isn't. Also, there's no incentive to push your score cause it's just gonna cost more and more. It's incentivizing tanking. Really not well thought out.

    Also, Having to use energy AND having champ limits is just awful.

    That's fair. What if BG objectives threw in some BG champion refills every so often - like they do with the re-rolls? So you could use them like you would use energy refills?

    45 units of value, but you can only use them in BGs and it allows you to do your BG spree?
    This would feel a bit better. Still not what I would consider a great solution, but certainly moving in the right direction if they were available somewhat regularly.

    What's forcing you to log in more lmao, this isn't aw/aq so just pretend it's 18 hours and NOTHING changes on your end.

    And that puts you back at the play 3-5 matches then wait 18 hours, which is also awful.

    Mate your argument was that 6 hour timers would be more annoying than 18 hour timers.. goal posts.

    This Beta test is not indicative of what the store will be like when the mode goes live. This is still a Beta Test.

    Great. When can we expect official BG release @Kabam Miike ?

    Question, will the Objectives come back? I didn't have the time to grab the Profile Pic last few rounds. Thanks.

    With that much of requirement to enter (45 units per champion!!) or 18h waiting time + 30 units every 4 matches-,
    people will have to wait ~10min to find a match (after the first week or two), so good luck collection data (and UNITS) in this BETA trial. (not to mention this lackluster store)

    I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying that until they find a way to deal with it then the feature shouldn't have an actual cost to it
    How can they test cost adjustments without them?

    Why does this 18 hour number keep coming up? There is no 18 hour timer. A 6 hour timer starts ticking once your champion is fully depleted of their 3 charges. At that time, you can either wait 6 hours or pay 45 units to get all 3 charges back on that champion.

    Personally, I think that a possible fix for this is two fold: first, increase the total number of charges on a champion to 5. Second, give each charge its own timer that can run concurrently. So if I use a champion at 2pm, and again at 2:30pm, and then I put the game down to do other things, I will get a charge back at 8pm and another at 8:30pm.

    I really don’t like that the timer doesn’t start until the champion is fully depleted, that means you eventually *have to* wait the full six hours. You can’t play a couple today, a couple tomorrow, and always have your full deck. Eventually, your champion will run out of charge, even if you only use them once per day.

    I’m thinking about a player who is busy during the week, but has the time to play a fair bit on weekends. They played a couple rounds during the week, but now they’ve got time to really sink their teeth into this mode but can’t because a bunch of their champions are down to just one charge because they used them a couple times several days ago. That’s not a good feeling. That’s not fun. Champions should start to recharge prior to depletion.
    I think people are saying 18 hours because it makes it sound like 6 hours per charge. So 1 charge is 6 and the full 3 is 18. At least that's my assumption

    Yeah, that’s the math they’re doing, but it’s a full recharge after the 6 hours. It’s not 1 charge per interval, it’s the full 3.
