    Part of the problem is that when we had the credit system, you saw PROGRESS toward your desired material every win or loss.

    Now it's more all or nothing, with NO IDEA when your time investment is going to pay off.

    Even if the rate of acquisition were identical (and I suspect it isn't) it would FEEL so much slower.

    What if we made a token system. Tokens drop from the win boxes. Token shop has the items people want.

    It would be remaking the old shops, essentially, but it would restore that feeling of slow progress toward desired goals over being the victim of a randomized gifting system, 90% of which you may not want. And your 10% you want probably won't match mine. This way we would both be happy.

    Anything that restores choice and agency to the players always has my vote.

    What do y'all think?

    It would be Awesome to have a progress toward your desired goals with a token shop system, But i'm not sure if EME can do that or they need to ask the PVE heroes of BHS for it, if then we would be screwed cause all that those kids care for is PVE.

    Why not put Deathwrack materials into the Spacecats Token shop and reward those tokens for a win in BGs?

    14 tokens (14 wins) = VM mat.

    That sounds quite decent.

    But they should be not bankeable.

    They need to do something because as it stands, even if you're winning, its too much of a shot in the dark whether or not you'll actually get the mats. It's so disappointing to get a few chests in a row that only drop rejuvenation pots *=* No one would have wasted their credits on those.

    Today i played about 30 matches or so, NOT a single VM material Jackpot on those 30 Matches for all the 40 Players that were taking part of them, BUT what i saw was a brawler from MT server get into our base on the defense round even before the gates were open for us to get out and ride a siege canon to shoot our crystal as we were watching powerless.... i just LOL hard and stop for tonight, they can't put decent jackpots on the battlegrounds neither ban those who uses 3rd party programs to get into places where they are not supposed to.... its laughable....

    This is why you screenshot or video capture! :D

    I'm gonna start SSing every reward, because I have yet to see a VM material. All I've seen is Dragon Scales and Feedstock.

    Then would you also roll 6 dices at the same time and take a video to show us how many times you get 6 on all of them?

    That is rng, you could roll 1k times those dices and never get 6x6 on them.

    Tokens are a good idea, If implemented correctly.
    PvPers want an equal chance as PvErs gearing up through what they like.

    If the ratio of tokens was small enough maybe 4 wins for a mat, then it would be worthwhile.

    (that's 1hr if you will all games in fwc) compared to a dungeon with a guaranteed loot drop, is 15 minutes.

    And when that happens in a BG, and your only way of getting VM is through PvP(BGs) then there is a problem, and that problem would need a fix. Whether it be increased VM chances of appearing or as a few others have mentioned some sort of token system.

    No, that would be too op, because dungeons take a way shorter time, but you aren't guaranteed a material since you have to split with the party. In BGs you also aren't guaranteed, because you have to win first, but there's no limit to how many wins of a BG you can get in a day.
    The ratio of tokens per material should be depending on the rarity of said material.

    @Spacecats
    Each win in a BG would award 1 Token.
    The ratio of Token(s) to materials should be something like this.

    EX)
    8 Token(s) - Talisman of Lakan
    6 Token(s) - Badge of Loyalty
    4 Token(s) - Lakan's Banner
    3 Token(s) - Lakan's Scale
    1 Token - Ominous Ore

    And as @ElinUsagi mentioned, they should not be bankable.
    Make it happen pleasu! @Spacecats @Halrath @Denommenator

    Well, it was a nice rant while it lasted... RIP all hopes and dreams.
    Will post SS's when I've got a few, so you guys can see how barely any VM mats appear.

    sorry, could you please tell me what SSing is?

    I agree with the token system. what we have now is not enough. at this rate it will take me about 10x longer to get all the mats from pvp than it would from pve. :(
  • ShinkouryuuShinkouryuu ✭✭
    Looks like the mass amount of Camel Scales are out of the Jackpot table, now you can see more feedstock and Lakan's Scale which is a looot better than those nasty dragon nails, still the actual VM Mats are hard to spot but i'm half way happy of not having such lame reward on every BG i win.
