Cost of new AM Repair and Revive Kits

Let me get right to it. The new kits are too expensive. For example, a Tier 1 Squad Revive Kit used to be 45 energon — up a whopping 677% to 350 now. Yes, I know it’s a percentage based kit but trust me when I say no math model out there justifies the new energon cost.
Seriously has me considering retirement.

And the old kits can't be sold.
I hope you make these changes before going live with the new am map. Don't lock us out. Remember this decision will impact your player base and the word of mouth along with social media communications is a strong way to defame your name. This is a global crisis where in financial institutions, Govts, etc have cut down on their costs for almost everything. I wonder what was kabam thinking.
Btw US has reported the highest unemployment rate in their history, yesterday! Also it has hit many other countries worldwide.
If I had one sentence to share with the decision maker(s) about these new prices, I would say this.
This change is the antithesis of Loss Leader Pricing and will cause players to drastically reduce spending, likely quitting the game altogether.
And just to stress this point in one last thread, even if the revive price was lowered, dying repeatedly because the AI has a new unfair advantage that they haven't had for the last 3 years of fighting just isn't "fun" anyway
Yeah, I was one of the folks who asked for percentage based ones in the past... but this is crazy.
And what will happen to the occasional kits sold in the raid store? I see there aren't any prices tagged to T3 kits. Are they obtainable through raid rotation, then?
Actually, I want more Energon to be given out.
(I think I sound a it greedy. Like Starscream).
Someone must’ve stepped on one too many LEGO pieces at home during lockdown because this is not a negative flag worthy post.
Hah. Looks like the flag is gone now...
Like what's said above, a player base of loyal players which will decrease in the next few months because of this ridiculously revive kit pricing.
AM is for most players the most fun part but looks like Kabam is taking that away for many...
Best regards
How long before we get to hear something about this subject?
But seriously...
Instead of reducing the price, kabam could give them out as rewards for missions or maybe put them in the T3 ore crystal as well AM crystal.
But yeah reduce the cost as well.
Definitely the math needs to be done of how many kits would it take and cost to equal such in such % health, or possibly even give us an energon discount on the new % kits
(I’m assuming she means in the AM crystals)
So those will come out next week with the new AM, but they also decided to bring the new pricier kits to the store this week and remove the old ones.
I second the need for confirmation here. Pretty serious implications.
That's a very good question. We will need to wait until tomorrow for an official position from the Kabam team... many players already uneasy with the findings.
Did you happen to screenshot it? Last time I opened AS crystals (Thursday?) they were still the old fixed value revs.
Just out of curiosity, I just now spun a single AS crystal. This is what I got.
Not happening for me. Did you click on the kits after you opened the crystals to confirm the %?
