So I did a small calculation based on literalry one screen shot and it looks like a good match will give about 340 silver without any modifiers.
I excluded additional income like battlepass for simplisity so keep that in mind.
This means I need
3 good battles (real: 4-5) for tier I gun
9 good battles (real: 13-14) for tier 2 or 3 gun
15 good battles (real: 22-23) for tier 4 or 5 gun
Squads have on average 7 soldiers so 21, 63, 105 good battles for one set of weapons for one squad.
3 squads with guns give 315 good battles in worst case scenario.
Equipment costs additional 20-30% per type.
So for: a grenade, a medkit, a melee weapon, a backpack you need to pay additional 80-120%.
That gives 567 good battles in best case and 693 in worst case for 3 fully equipped T5 squads.
So roughly 800-1000 real battles.
Those are quickly made, eyeballed calculations made for informative purposes.
it was expected, however, prices were high even before.
We should wait how it works, if income is way too low than we will have enough players to make demands, as of now we are just speculating.
But ppl got blinded by the big numbers of the conversion, thinking they got a lot…
I got shut down by some cat or another (don’t remember which) telling me:
“New economy is good! You combine each factions so no need to buy more than once!”
(Japanese faction still exist but sure)
Here’s my reaction, in some cutesy anime picture:
Well right now good average match, lets say 25 min, would average 25k xp with premium. (average would be shorted but this will make it easier to calculate)
That’s 1 silver weapon order, 0.5 silver soldier order and few bronze orders, 3 and 6.
To purely convert it into silvers would get us 500 + 500 + 600 + 600 = 2200 silvers.
I truly hope the 4x on test server refers to XP not silvers gain, or it’s already 4 times worse, with threads 340 silvers per match - based on shorter matches, but still difference is jarring.
On top of that, soldier prices go up 10x, pistol prices go up 10, weapons 2-3 times.
It’s not making it any easier to convince friends to start playing this game.
And yeah, we don’t have to grind Germany 5 times, but what’s the argument for Japan.
They are way worse than current BP rewards that gave 2-3 silvers wep orders which was enough to buy mid or high tier weapon and always 1 silver which was enough to get any of the troopers since they all cost just 1 silver. 1000 coins is not equivalent of 2-3 weapon silvers or 1 troop silver. We got Gaijined as always.
They better improve coin gains and make things less expensive before they launch game on steam unless they want to meet the Blizzard in the negative reception (+2 free or grindable slots for everyone)
