I don't want to speak for everyone doing Expert, but for me, the main reason for doing Expert is simply to get the relic, and the 16000 feature bot chips.
Here are some examples of rewards that I think would make it more compelling for these higher end players:
- 4* bot -- the superior crystal just needs to go... I get it 3-4 months ago because there was so much value in everything else, but it is mind boggling why it's even there now. Personally, I do Hard mode first, because there is nothing in Expert that I've "got to have now", and the 4* bot in Hard mode is more exciting than the whole of the rewards in Expert.
- Signature programs -- I'm not even going to ask for awakening programs here, but some 4* signature programs would be excellent and I think it would make sense for the difficulty.
- Moar gold!! -- This still seems to be overlooked. Between forging and needing to use up T2A before they expire, there is a LOT for high end players to be spending gold on, and even without AM costs, gold continues to be the main resource holding players back from using their other resources.
- T3C -- This is the obvious one, and I certainly don't expect a full T3C here, but I think all players, especially the F2P players would really appreciate this one.
A Predacon? Who exactly...
We need t3c crystal shards in expert next month.
But as well, i think medium, hard, and expert should all be increasing steadily in both difficulty and rewards or else we're going to need a 5th difficulty at some point.
Many people are R5ing one or two of their bots, and will be pretty much maxed out by summer. We'll need 5*s in a bit, t3c becoming easier to get, and then t4b and t4c...
Totally agree with you, 3 months ago the rewards were amazing & worth the time & effort but not anymore.
At the moment I have 3 T2A, 12 T3B & 25 T1A but I can’t use them because I don’t have enough gold.
Give us something different Kabam like what @tekkn1kal suggest, replace the superior crystal which is gave 3* only with 4* crystal, gold reward (I am talking 5 figures number) signature programs & if you really wanna make us super happy add T3C spark.
Unrelated, but also t3c spark shards in raids would be nice. (1000 for 75,000 limit 2 or something like that)
You can do it using 5 2* or ranked 2 3*
Thanks, should 2 3k health and 2 2k health, all 4 3 star be able to win.
So are you saying those who are stuck with just 3 star have no way to get 4 star and these rewards should give at least 500 4 star crystal shards to them. Medium difficulty reward. If so I agree.
T3c are needed
But t2a are tough to get even so.
I’m with you buddy! Hehe
Sad
I have a feeling that everyone is wanting better resources for the same difficulty, but I could be wrong.
Still wanting to know more about the Relics. We basically have all sort of buffs (exp, story, arena, AM).
We are at the point where if I could only do one, the only way I would pick expert over hard is if the relic was another +4% to AM one.
If someone does feel like they are not getting anywhere, or achieving something after completing a task, that takes incentive away from from wanting to continue. Especially if they plateau, other hit a wall, that's going that causes frustrations, instead of excitement when meeting the challenge.
If you have a good set of 5 maxed 3* ( don't need any forge levels, but it does help) you can complete exploration on hard for the 1k shards. Depending on your bots and skill some energon might be needed for revives/repair.
How much energon, which exploration? Spotlight?
