Showdown Coins and their lack of purchasing power.

Currently I am holding 202,000 SD coins and let's be honest...there aren't a whole lot of purchasing options that are useful or worthwhile. It would be a great move by Scopley to finally give the players better options. 20x star fills at a time, 5x MP, shards of 4 to 5 year old cards, OH MY. Blitz has taken a backseat to SD it seems and it only makes sense to revamp this section of the game. Otherwise, why are we involved in daily SD, weekly SD and now daily SD that counts towards the Solo MLC. I'll be interested to hear thoughts from Scopley and the peanut gallery.

    Completely agree with you .. but the responses you will get is . The team are looking in to it but based on players feedback . “They are happy with the currant setup” and we do not feel it needs updating. I am sitting on double what you and building more and more up for 5tp a-day. Like the KoK pass it’s outdated and not worth the money any more let’s hope they do change it . But let’s not hold our breath waiting.

    I like this thing of sd coins also giving out mlc points, every point matters in my particular case. That being said, I agree there need to be more buying options in the sd store. As it is right now the coins are just pilling up with almost nothing useful to spend on,I buy the TPs and stars everyday and IF the 5* HOF tokens whenever they appear there... I would say: coins, more tp, even some props would be nice. Also 4sg tokens would be nice. Adding more slots there for random items would be the idea, not replacing whats there now, IMHO

  • Star frags and whatever TP shows up are the only things worth buying in there once you have the promoters. It used to be the only way to really get HOF tokens, but they are just ridiculously over priced. Especially now that they started showing up other places like faction feud war score events and the weekly cash kickbacks.

    I wouldn't mind seeing some more options for legendary straps, or strap parts, or medals added.

    Straps, strap parts, medals, plates and maybe boss tokens or something. So many easy to add options available. I suppose it's easier to just sell them for real cash then have to spend time developing and coding. Work smarter not harder.

    Funny you bring it up, while it's been mentioned multiple times over the years we spent a couple hours arguing about it with them last week. Most of the SD shop is outdated, like many parts of the game from years ago, 1s tokens aint even used anymore since you can't get characters bellow 2s anymore, 2s tokens themselves are not of much use anymore either. I'm sitting on over a million SD coins cause I have nothing to buy other then the daily 20 star shards and 5 tp and the "once every 3 months it seems" 5s hof token

    Personally I hate showdown and do the bare minimum whenever it comes up and even I have 850,000 coins. There is very little to buy. I would say add shards of certain skill plates or belts with guaranteed bonuses. Anything would be an improvement.

    Totally agree. SD is a required part of the game if you want progress.

    the pricewall isn’t at all attractive. Every active player should have all the promotors. The only think worth anything are the TP and star fragments, but the low quantity you can get makes it pretty useless even….

    I agree it if it wasn't to do a quest I think I'd stop playing SD. The SD store needs revamping. Even more now that their giving SD mode so much more time on achieving goals

    Thanks for the feedback , We have recently communicated the feelings of the SD shop being outdated.
