It took me 2 years of playing before I got my first legendary. But that feeling of unlocking it for the first time will never be forgotten. RIP to those who will never have the feeling of unlocking a legendary from a box.
Yeah I kinda get that legendairys are rare, but nothing was more satisfying then getting one. I got spike at like 800 trofs but then it took me to 17k to get my second. and then they all came very quickly.. but I did buy amber on 1 day for like 50 euros XD. also when I got closer to having all brawlers the legendairys came quick. I got leon as my last legendairy and I wanted hom for long and it sucked I got him as the very last one hahaha
I'm honestly scared for this update. Boxes have been all we've known since beta and no matter what supercell changed they kept boxes. However, I trust the dev team because I know they want us to enjoy the game and come back to it.
As a brawl stars veteran myself, I had played the game since 2018 and this update is going to be one of the biggest ones yet. Although I will miss the excitement and disappointment when opening the boxes, I think the new system implemented will be interesting and would excite all the current players. But that's just my opinion, what do you think?
Really excited about this new change, this definitely has the potential to change the whole progression system on brawl and make it fun and refreshing again, and honestly, the lick was actually really bad, like you cannot define a player based off of luck, I mean someone is try Harding and they aren't getting anything in return, they would definitely leave the game and thus this new system also makes the game grippy, well all in all, this is a huge change about which I personally and others might have mixed reactions about, guess we can only see what time has for us. Lets wish THE BEST! #8VQUCRCUR
I think it's safe to say, brawl boxes was still one of the first kinds of experiences but during the global release. Unlike battle passes which every player should have been exposed to thanks to games like fortnite. But opening boxes and getting a legendary is something I never really experienced before, so I'll never forget it
I think this change will be so risky for the devs. That feeling of getting a brawler you have seen played and wanted is so awesome. Same thing with the legendaries. Greedily I’m happy that it will be easier to get brawlers but it too bad that the feeling of randomly getting a brawler will be gone for relatively new players. For me I know that I will be getting every new non chromo on day 1 so it’s no longer special and it being easier now will be great but I’m my opinion it’s a feeling that kept me playing for some time when I hadn’t fully fallen in love with this game so I think for that reason it’s risky to take out.
This is a common strategy supercell and similar companies use. Once you amass a huge amount of players it is good to make progression easier to keep the new players and not making them frustrated because they can't get the brawlers they want due to the constantly growing size of the roster.
@Sacrificial Lamb Change is always controversial. Lootboxes are just downright an evil practise, especially in games like BS which have an overwhelming child player base.
I personally think that in the brawl pass there will be “Power Point” boxes. Each box would be like a mega box but just the power points. I think this would be a good idea because it would distribute power points between brawlers so most of your brawlers are at a decent power level
If they do this, I'm probably quitting. The feeling of pulling a brand new brawler from a box is just the best it gets, video game wise for me. I've played this game for 4 years and boxes have just been a big part of it. I've probably opened thousands of boxes over the years and I am going to hate this. The game might die because of this, hopefully it isn't another major screw up by the devs like when they first released gears :/ And of COURSE they're making the brawlers gems. ShOcKiNg that supercell would take away a fundamental part of their game just to MAKE MORE MONEY!! We have never seen that before 🤣
I think they should give us an amount of credits based on our current progress in the trophy road or legendary chance. Might not be too effective tho, but I think it would balance out for the older players a bit more?
I have mixed feelings about these change as a player that has been playing for more than a year now and still not getting a legendary.. And it kinda sucks for me that I will never get the feeling of unlocking a legendary brawler from a box
I can see that the removal of brawl boxes is bringing confusion to all players but I am sure why they removed them. Lately on roblox and other famous games for young ages they are gettting banned from countries becouse of the lootboxes(it is when you open a pack and you get a random reward) and becouse brawl stars is afraid that it will get banned it removed boxes
I streamed all 13 hours of the livestream, and got rage quit Tara. It was so fun, and tribe did play especially well to get into the semi finals, but zeta devision zero really knocked it out of the park in the last match, so kudos to them
I’m gonna miss boxes a lot. In fact, I’m not really excited for this coming update. I get that there are reasons for this, but nothing in this update could ever match the feeling of unlocking a legendary. I still remember every detail of the morning I got Crow. Bye bye boxes. It’s been a wild ride.
To everyone saying that you lose the happiness of getting a new brawler, the pain of not getting anything from a box outweighs the happiness of getting one.
Tbh i'm afraid of it. Overwatch 2 ended with the box system for skin and put a new system which you can use coins to get the specific skins you want to. But is extremely hard to get it, unless you pay to. And they can do it here in Brawl Stars. A company don't change to get less money, and loot boxes are very lucrative, i guess we have bad changes coming.
My first legendary was 10 elixir, I will never forget how mad I was at the time, I think I’ll miss the RNG system but it doesn’t really affect me at all because I have a maxed account now.
Honestly, I feel that the entire probability system was what separates Brawl Stars from other games, and that removing it will make it more like other games.
Quite the contrary, every single other game has some form of gachaing / lootbox system nowadays. Good thing we are now stepping into a direction that doesn’t have to involve luck
The box progression system worked before because there werent that many brawlers and It was easier to level them up or unlock one that you wanted but with the way the game is now ( 60+ brawlers, 11 levels, 2 gadgets, 2 star powers, and 6 possible gears per brawler) that system is now obsolete and It is a surprising but very good decition from the development team
I got my first legendary (Leon) this October, but as awesome as it was, it was really disappointing realizing that even though I’ve been playing since global, it took me this long to get one…
Can we get a brawler with a super that tethers itself to an enemy and slowly saps their health? You would need to stay close enough to not sever the connection and if the enemy moved back it would break. Would make for an interesting gameplay mechanic
I've been playing brawl stars for almost 4 years i have left 3 legendary brawlers to unlock. I will miss them so much when i open brawl boxes also because the hype and ilusion of having a brawler randomly will dissapear. but i think this new system of progression will completly change the game i hope for good and this system has it also pokemon unite where by playing the game you get 2 currencies that are esential to buy pokemons. so it takes a lot of time to get all of the pokemons especially if you are a F2p player. So as i talked previously it will change the game entirely because now is not a matter of probability but of time.
I have all legendaries right now and my first legendary was crow and it was like when I had 6000 trophies and only 3 months of playing.. And when I had 7000 trophies I had total of 3..crow,leon, sandy like I opened three legendaries in 3 weeks.. It was like a just another type of feeling to open all legendaries through boxes But yes pretty excited for the update and looking forward to it.. Thanks kairos
I personally don’t like the change. Of course the luck system made some players get way ahead but choosing the brawler you want doesn’t sound that exciting to me. Every time I unlocked an epic or above I always had this great sensation of unlocking a brawler and that probably won’t be the case anymore.
I think that this is good for both the game and the devs because we get to choose who we get and when. While the devs get more money from the brawl pass and shop.
The obvious question is.. what’s gonna happen to our saved up boxes… I have almost all the last season boxes (brawl pass) unopened and this season as well… they gonna go poof??
I wonder if the change is going to make it harder to unlock and upgrade new brawlers for people who are close to maxed or box hoarders? I have always been a box hoarder. When there is a new brawler that looks interesting and i want to play, i usually have a spare 2 seasons of rewards to unlock him and upgrade to level 9. And just the process of opening a shitton of boxes is fun. Idk how to feel about the change, but that may be due to me being lucky on getting all the legendary brawlers.
I can't believe they are removing brawl boxes. I thought the brawl pass update was big but this is at a whole other level! This is honestly a sad moment but also a big opportunity for brawl stars.
#byebyeboxes saddest part will be that i will miss those fun and crazy box opening videos where the creators were just spending their money but it was fun no doubt, well we will miss the thrill and excitement of the shining no. at bottom.
I think it's a really smart move from supercell. In Europe at least, more and more countries ban loot boxes from games or ban those games entirely since it promotes gambling or plays into gambling addiction. And I totally agree with your stance on that. Kind of sad to see boxes go though, it was such a core part of the game for so long. And I loved your unboxing videos, like the Leon, Amber one or the stunt vid for Stu which was epic!
Its not just them, Overwatch and Dead Ahead also got rid of their lootboxes, it seems like a positive trend (althrough Chinese companies will still try to gatcha scam)
I wish that since boxes are gonna get deleted and the rewards in the brawl pass are gonna get replaced I want that some boxes are replaced by gems because I hate that you have to keep the gems from 2 passes to get one and all that remains is 11 gems >:( I wanna buy skins, tries from challenges, icons, brawl passes more frequently, ecc....
Reducing the rng of unlocking new brawlers is an interesting idea. It makes the game less frustrating but also less exciting. I think the main positive of this change is being able to choose which brawler you unlock, since some players join the game wanting a single brawler, then get tons of brawlers before the one they want. My worry is that it will make the progression too linear though. The thrill of opening boxes and the joy of finally getting the brawler you want is incomparable, and that's going to be hard to replace without boxes. I think this update could work if it's implemented well. My one hope for the change is that some rng is kept, such as getting a random number of credits from certain rewards with a chance of getting a jackpot. My prediction is that Omega Boxes will be our main source of tokens, so here's hoping to to them keeping the the old joy of getting lucky.
It’s unbelievable that they are actually removing boxes! They’ve been a huge part of Brawl Stars since the very beginning! And I think it’s pretty crazy that next Brawl Talk will be on a Wednesday!
Bro your videos are too op and it's so shocking to listen that they are Removeing boxes bro I like your videos I see every video and i only use kairos in the shop...
I will miss the boxes that feeling of getting leon is legendary in my life and that moment is very special for me I can't forget now I had all brawlers but I will miss those boxes opening video
I wonder how he will do the new brawler unlocking challenge… without boxes. my opinion : i am gonna miss the boxes and this challenges. i have 2 legendries after playing the game for 4ish years, casually. ill never forget the hype i got when unlocking them and the memories that came with it. R.I.P boxes you will be greatly missed. even the brawl box.🪦🪦🪦
Been playing this game for 3 and a half years and I have every brawler expect all legendaries excluding Leon which I even got when I hit 20k trophies which is just wild. I'm so glad that I can finally get more brawlers
Although it feels weird, I feel this will be a very positive change for progression in the game. I remember my disappointment missing out on werewolf Leon because I didn’t have him unlocked after waiting for him since his release. It took me a couple years before finally getting him, but i still need to unlock multiple legendaries to this day.
@Ladislau Molnar then either you would get the hero/brawler with it or have to wait either way Being able to get the hero/brawler with the skin is cheaper than the actual brawler offers and its gonna feel p2w even tho its not, and waiting to unlock the brawler isnt fair imo, the best choice is the one Supercell currently implemented
@Aria plays clash mini you dont need that much luck, theres a "luck" feature, its called that way, it basically increases your chances for a brawler when you dont get one, its practically impossible for you to be playing since global and not have all the brawlers except maybe the last few brawl pass ones, the person above you most likely just lied :/
So as a player with every brawler currently (not many are maxed out) would it be a good idea to open all my boxes now or not. I still have a lot of power points to collect but not sure if it’s worth it
I have been playing brawl stars from 2018 and it was my dream to unlock crow and i still have not got crow. But tbh I wanted to unlock him from boxes, i also have been saving up star points for gold mecha crow and now I have like 125k, yeah. But ngl i feel quite sad that boxes are going, they were a huge part of the game
#byebyeboxes I hope someone else gets the golden code (I already have nearly all brawlers (bonnie, buster and eve left). Some progression would be nice though, so if I win I would like a normal code.
my main concern with this change is the ability to buy brawlers using gems. The cool part with boxes is that geting brawlers is random. Sure, spending money could increase the odds, but its rather negligible. By allowing brawlers to be bought with gems, it would make the game a lot more pay to win. EDIT: Upon further inspection, its possible the gems are placeholders for something else.
Honestly I don't mind. Having the brawlers buyable with gems doesn't do anything to make the game more pay to win. You still have to upgrade and learn how to play the brawler. Like sure, someone could buy a Leon. But if they suck at Leon then they're not making it very far without upgrades, and maxing out brawlers is still really expensive and not a smart idea to do.
It really changes nothing paying to have to brawler does not mean you have a higher chance of winning with that brawler. It would only really have an effect in terms of legendaries. Because most of the player base does not have them but there are only 6 right now out of 61. Not the biggest competitive advantage.
I think this will make it feel so much better to get legendary brawlers. Knowing you worked so hard to unlock that character will be much more satisfying than grinding for boxes just to not get what you wanted
This is an interesting thing, I always enjoyed opening boxes but I do think this is a positive and even if new players won’t experience randomly getting that legendary, it’s better in the long run because they’ll know it was hard work and dedication that got it.
I have every brawler, and every star power and gadget, so..... I'm just wondering what kind of rewards I can get, considering I don't even open my boxes anymore because there's nothing left to unlock
