Legendary upgrade on rux = tragedy

Pls pop cap think it 23 times before you put that on rux, you know, if this is on rux the game will head into the pay to win route , you really dont want the same that happened to bf2 on launch on this game    

Edit : if you want to solve that it is as simple as selling it for coins instead of rainbow stars, because then people that didnt get it during the prize map will say that, that is a pay to win thing, which is not wrong, please dont make this a pay to win

  • Ugh god, more grind, freakin yay.

    I finished this month price map this week monday, same happed to prev maps, only few days before. And actualy after finishing every map i took 2 days break from game, because doin these price maps feels like a job, not fun. 

    With increased amound required bulbs i don`t think i finish it, or finish at the last day.....

  • @asabaida What are the odds on being able to complete every weekly challenge though? 😖

    The big problem is for new players - you can only get enough rainbow stars in a month to buy the upgrade with rainbow stars IF you complete the prize map in the first place . . .

    Basically most of us should be ok, a lot of us still have unspent rainbow stars & will have built up max bulbs to help with the map in the first place, but new players will feel under pressure to complete the prize map or buy the bulbs to do so in order to get the upgrade.
    And I think new/er players will feel the pressure to buy bulbs even more the following month if they face not be able to complete the prize map, because they won't have the reserve of coins many of us players do . . .
    This is seriously messy!!

    @asabaida  Hooray! I believe you completely, and only needing 204 would be excellent (I didn't count the amount of bulbs needed; I just trusted Zero). I apologise as well, @TLEsquire , because I assumed that you received approximately 270 rainbow stars ⭐ in a month, but @asabaida  is absolutely correct with the rainbow star calculations, I forgot the weekly challenges gave you 40 rainbow stars, not 30, so sorry 😳 🤭! There is a possibility of also getting extra rainbow stars, because you can complete 5 sets of weekly challenges on some months (not February) because of the extra days in a month. Thanks for getting all of that straight and sorted out! 🙂👍

    @ToastedSarnie  Some of the weekly challenges are very hard to complete, you're absolutely right! I don't manage to complete it every single week, but I still manage to do it most of the time. New players wouldn't really have a choice but to buy rainbow stars for the upgrade if they start playing too close to the end of next month! 😞 There's going to be more FOMO, strap in and enjoy the fun times ahead! This doesn't seem like it's going to go very well, gotta agree with you there! 😃 👍

  • @asabaidaThank you for backing up some of my math & counting my dear! We differ in the monthly amount of stars but both are "correct." Your 310 stars for a month is a "normal" 4 week month. I have an average of 323 a month by calculating a yearly total and dividing by 12 (to account for 5 week months). No month actually gives 323 but it takes into account that 4 months a year will give you 350, just certainly not February.

    As @ToastedSarnie points out, these are of course, only the very most you can achieve if everything goes optimally each month, which, let's face it, is pretty unlikely for most people.

    I just wanted to see the math worked out now that we have a few months behind us and after @Meadoz pointed out the bulbs needed for the maps have not been consistent. The numbers aren't terribly encouraging. I don't know how many hours it will take to grind out 470,000 exp for the bulbs not gotten from challenges next month but it looks like a lot

    @TLEsquire  hahahaha yes indeed... and yours was the more in depth version ... proper maths calculations 😃

  • @asabaida & @TLEsquire Swots, the pair of you!! 🤣
    No idea how many hours play it would take though & it also depends what you're doing to gain xp . . .
    PvP is hit & miss, depending on your own performance & all those variables like length of game, win or lose, what your team-mates are like etc, etc.
    I can usually gain a bulb from 1 & a bit Ops, I think? A full battle in PvE gives a little more.
    Newer players will have all that lovely general xp available first time round in PvE like chests & gnomes . . . not easy to calculate 🤔

    @ToastedSarnieThat is not the first time, nor is it likely the last time I have been called a swot 🤣🤣 I forgot that beginners will get the boost of the first times through PvE. Lucky ducks.

    @asabaidaYou did great feats of math-ery especially pre-coffee. I was worried about mine because I did them in bed right before sleep 😴 Counting the bulbs watching videos was even more confusing. I had to keep thinking if I counted one twice or missed one. I did each several times and I'm still not positive.
