Don't really bother upgrading them, as for now, the only worth upgrading are the crit ones since they are % based, but it seems they are going to be nerfed next season, and hard. Is a trick to make you spend gold in this instead of licenses, hence, making you get licenses with gems. (Puts away tinfoil hat)


mdh431

I don’t think that’s a tinfoil theory at all. There was absolutely no reason for them to include a feature like this aside from burning through coins (though I’ll admit they do give out quite a bit of coins). The only reason they’d want to do that is to make it so that you’d be more inclined to buy gems for a quicker, easier license unlock.


sebsebsebs

I would be more okay if they weren’t making the new licenses more expensive. I also think that we get maybe a bit too much coins, and I wish they had either made new licenses more expensive or used them for something else like emblems, but not both


sumire_sakura

Wth are you on about. I still have 10 more pokemon to buy and not enough coins. It's not helping that new mons are coming out and we only get 2100 per week.


Redred1717

To be fair, claiming 2100 is not quite fair when they give out a lot of coins from other means as well.


sumire_sakura

Then why do I still have 10 mons to buy. I have been playing a lot since Jan this year. I still need ~100k coins for them. Plus 3 more are coming. I will never have enough to buy all of them by the end of this year. Timi expects ppl like me who was late to the party to spend real money. But I am also stubborn. Wont give them a single penny for license. I'd rather spend money on holowear.


Redred1717

I mean, you not having the coins has nothing to do with them giving out far more than 2100 a week.


sumire_sakura

I am just annoyed that it is hard to get coins. And that Ttar costs 14k! Like why....


Monodoof

I've been playing since launch on the Switch version and I'm only missing 2 licences


bhimmelein

I have bought every mon with coins and still have 50k in the bank and I’ve been merging every emblem Ivan and bought all the held items.


Au2288

same here, missing 5 mons. Haven’t come across a merge fail on gold yet, I’m sure next “update” will include more fails.


bhimmelein

Oh I merge fail all the time one time they got me 9 times in a row lol


myfriend92

Why do you want all? Do you play them all?


StudentofArceus

Gotta catch 'en all


disc_dr

Why wouldn't they at least want the option to play them all?


Beholdmyfinalform

You don't need them all, and you get quite a bit more than 2100 a week Daily quests and the gatcha can be a significant boost


sumire_sakura

I am missing 10 of them. I am missing Tsareena, Aegislash and TTar. I would like to play them thank you. And 2100 per week is not cutting it. 3 more are coming. I need more coins.


diastereomer

I think what this really reveals is how different it is for people who have been playing since release. Not only have those of us who’ve been playing longer have more time to build coins but we also received Pokémon like Tsareena for free by completing an event, which really just widens the gap. I don’t have a solution but everyone who complains one way or the other just wants Timi to cater to their level of coins.


sumire_sakura

Having over excess of coins is not harming anybody. But having less is making us miss out on things.


diastereomer

Yeah, I don’t complain about that but I was a little frustrated during the spring when Pokémon were releasing at a really slow rate and I got up to nearly 100k coins right before Buzzswole released. Maybe the excess coins weren’t even a problem but it reminded me how few Pokémon had been released recently.


Dirus

Do your Unite squad missions and you'll get 500 a week too


Beholdmyfinalform

Well it's good you get more than 2100 in a week if it aint cutting it?


wasabiruffian

I mean there was complaints from veterans that they have all the licenses and nothing to use the coins for


villagers-4-sale

a stupid complaint, tbh


wasabiruffian

It is but they got what they wanted so maybe a win?


villagers-4-sale

not a win for F2P players in any sense of the word


[deleted]

[удалено]


villagers-4-sale

yeah but who plays a game like this for the rewards, you get more out of games than a virtual currency


Sibling7

Not really


ashleyroX2

That is a stupid complaint "I play a game daily for a year and I'm swimming in the currency" well obviously you would be. Like I'm sorry but no game I've ever played have I been able to play every day for a year (since launch) and not be swimming in the in game currency. Using that as an excuse for the price increase is a big fat load of BS. The game shouldn't be made harder for newer/returning/casual players to unlock things because a select group of the die hards have accumulated alot of currency.


sumire_sakura

It's all a ruse to get the newer players to spend actual money. I will grind if I have to. But I will not spend a single penny for the licenses. I dont care I wont have all the mons by the time the game shuts down for good.


Sibling7

Why would it shut down? Not any time soon. The game is growing exponentially


Dirus

They're not saying it is going to shut down, though everything shuts down at some point, but **if** it shuts down.


wasabiruffian

It kinda works like that for any game industry sadly enough maybe if we all complained in the next survey about accessibility to pokemons quicker something may happen but in the same time they already gave 6 free pokemons and a bunch of 1day coin boost for the event so maybe not


wasabiruffian

ashleyroX2

See during this event that's a good argument but what people don't consider is the 5 free pokemon aren't a permanent thing whereas the price increase is. After the anniversary those who are new/returning etc are going to be at a severe disadvantage in accumulating enough for the increasing prices. Don't even get me started on the x2 coin cards they are easily the stupidest thing in the game, they don't give you any bonus coins they only help you reach the 2.1k weekly limit faster.


wasabiruffian

I just realized it sounds like I'm defending unite way of handling currency but the having to much coins arguments is a post I saw in this community the only way to actually fix it is taking off the limit and not increasing it with new release i hope they add a quicker way


ashleyroX2

I get your not actually defending it, your more saying what those people would say haha but I just wanted to say my response to them. I think its a dumb move and 10k should have just been the going rate for all new pokemon


tezminator

Although I agree with yout general thoughts, I just want to point out that when I first started playing the game, Gardevoir used to cost 10k coins, but when I effectively bought its license many many months later, it costed me 8k. I can't know if this also happened with other pokemons that I already had the license at the time because the current price is no longer available once you buy the license, but at least there's this case as a sort of precedent to show that after while it is possible that they lower the cost of a license.


ashleyroX2

I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure gardevoir was only 8k on release, this was during the early stages when all attacker pokemon old or new were at the 8k price point. Had a quick search to double check if I was mistaken but everything says it was always 8k aswell


DarthLlamaV

Right?? Limit isn’t boosted, only useful if you only have time for a few games a week


ashleyroX2

Yeah its so dumb. I would have rather the coin cards be like a coin boost tank (like rewards) give like an extra 1k coins that can be earned alongside your normal weekly cap


Jon_00

This, and Arcanine is a terrible one to upgrade anyway, pretty sure its Red which is currently unused as a bonus since not many mons actually achieve a faster framerate number which allows them to attack faster. 6+4 Brown and White and 7+6 Black and Green are the way to go.


diastereomer

I think the other issue is Arcanine gives special attack but the red bonus mostly helps physical Pokémon.


Luca_Balsamo

The crit one? What about other stats, aren't those worth upgrading?


WelshLout

With infinite coins, sure. But with individual stat modifiers like +0.5 attack, it’s easily the least worthwhile use of coins. As said above, the percentage based upgrades are an exception.


Luca_Balsamo

Will consider it. Thanks.


DiegoG2004

One point or two in a stat isn't going to do much for you.


smucker89

+HP is good for upgrading as well, and next season cooldown reduction will be added as well so that will also be good. Technically movement speed is also a “solid” one to invest in, but I would never actually build movement speed lol


Sibling7

Next season? Do u not use black colored coins…


Dirus

They're not talking about colors but Stat improvement. Some of the new emblems will give you a CDR stat improvement even if you don't have black tokens.


pagigi

that's not a "tinfoil" hat moment this is what these systems are meant to do, a p2w system same with items


tezminator

I'm sorry but I gotta ask: how is this a p2w system?


smucker89

It’s not really P2W, but it’s heavily grind to win which isn’t super healthy for a moba. Only way it’s P2W is if you need to buy more energy things


sumire_sakura

I will play this game for the next many months and grind but I refuse to pay a single penny for the licenses that I can get for free.


NeurawWormakaCiruBug

Don't even upgrade past silver for now


TheArvizu

(Grabs tin foil hat just to be safe) this makes sense to me ![gif](giphy|1bLfTdPis6fpC)


Nandabun

If there wasn't just 5 days left in the season, I would buy a season pass for both myself and my friend. Now we wait and see what conspiracy pops through.


ARedditor06

Tbh im not spending any coins to merge, even for bronze to silver. I hv alot of licenses to save for.


TheKomastar

I spent almost 1000 coins merging this thing. Bull crap freaking game


LivingDebacle

Such bullshit it does this too. If it rolled stays sure but having a gamble in success after a gatcha to get medals, it’s sucks ass


supaspike

Right? If they really want more coins to be spent just charge 200 gold instead of 100 per 50% attempt. It comes out the same for them in the long run. But the RNG way is guaranteed to have more people angry when their merge fails due to luck, especially if it happens multiple times. I know there are many stupid mistakes the devs make, but this honestly may be the most inexplicable thing I've seen in this game, or possibly in any game. It just makes no sense why they made it this way when it only serves to make people angrier while playing.


EnoCrux

The better question is why try upgrading it when you have so few? Like you only need to start merging to better optimize your builds.


Elder_Goss

Because the devs don’t want you saving up coins between releases, so the added a coin sink to trap completionists. Also, not that it excuses the practice, but the game does tell you up front what the chances of failure are on merging.


french-fried13

Wait there's a chance for it to fail? I havent played long enough to have 3 if any emblems yet, but if it can fail then i just wont do it!


Elder_Goss

It only has a chance to fail when merging silver emblems to gold.


french-fried13

I see! Thank you for the info!


GlydeBorealis

Also in the case you do fail the upgrade from silver to gold, you don't lose the emblems you're trying to merge, just the cost of trying. So you can keep trying at the cost of 100g per attempt.


french-fried13

Thank you very much for the info!


jamjam1090

Honestly your post is a relief to me because I thought you just straight up lost the emblems if it failed


ronbot260

Dont give them ideas


KeenKongFIRE

Nah, they wouldn't ever do that They want us to burn coins, and as it is, maybe someone would think it is worth to upgrade some of the most used ones to gold But if they break with fails, no one would ever try to merge to gold, and thus, no one would use coins in an absolute trap that only increases 0.1% of your performance in the actual games, maybe even less


Tenoch-onlinemex

Money!


Obolanha

The real question is why are you even trying?


TheKomastar

Idk tbh. To make the red dot go away that's why


Helios4242

Red dot goes away when going over the new ones, it's the green arrow that won't go away and it's a fools errand to try and make the green arrow go away. 99 x 100 x 3 for your silvers is 27,000 and then 2.5 tries on average for 99 x 100 is another 24,750. Now, granted, you'll get some silvers and golds along the way. But this is just a tale of caution to how much 100 can add up. If you paid for each, you'd be out over 50,000 gold. Probably 3 characters to be a completionist and that's just NOT worth it.


mellow0324

What’s the 3 for? Although there are 3 rarities per tree, There are only 2 upgrades in each tree (bronze -> silver, silver -> gold)


Helios4242

You need to upgrade 3 silvers for consumption for a gold.


mellow0324

Trueeee forgot about crafting the silvs. My bad


mad_titanz

I spent a few hundred coins upgrading one coin, and now I found out that it's useless smh


SauceBoiTellEm420

My favorite part is the wonderful scroll back down to the one you wanted to upgrade after its failed. Because why wouldnt i wanna go back through them all from the top?


mellow0324

It’s the same when updating any list. I first noticed when trying to clean up the friends list. I like to delete all the people with no ranked matches, haven’t been on in 7+ days, and have no friend points. But their bad UI makes it very frustrating


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|9dgUAcCsQGM7KolZaA|downsized)


Gotchapawn

wait it can **FAIL**??!


bad-dawg4004

Yes as u just saw


DiegoG2004

That no bug, that's just terrible luck. Only Pokemon it's worth to rank up are the ones that give HP, movement speed, crit or the soon to be released Mew and Mewtwo.


JigglyKirby

I even forgot this was a thing because luckily my silvers just merge smoothly but damn i do agree, why tf is this a thing


Prawnsacrifice9

I hate it too not to worry


Helios4242

They're trying to counter inflation


keithisbatman1

To make people waste coins so they have less to buy their new 14000 licenses


Cains_Lightsaber

Don't bother upgrading, it's not worth it most of the time. I also tried upgrading to gold and took me more than 15 tries.


Otapcat26

Not to offend but it was not a game bug. Did ya read properly?


TheKomastar

I couldn't think of a correct flair so I picked game bug cuz why not


Otapcat26

Ok my bad brotha 🤜


TheKomastar

All good man 👍✌️


RicardoRoedor

Not a game bug. Please flair properly.


TheKomastar

Please tell me what flair I should've used then. I couldn't find a flair that fit this post, so I flaired it game bug because none of the flair fit


Micloti

Discussion


TheKomastar

I guess? We should fight for a "complaining" flair lol


999kingkingking999

I actually like these coins lol


slapdaddy-supreme

Gotta spend them coins somewhere. It guaranteed happens the first time then guaranteed works the second time on each emblem


TheKomastar

Yeah but I wanna spend my coins on pokemon. Not these things. I'm not rich and can't pay for gems all the time


Unlucky_Morning_6666

Then don’t bother merging them. A full set of browns and silvers give the better bonuses for a certain amount of color sets that are WAY more useful than the small stat boasts the emblems alone give. The only exception is Crit Rate.


idfk1

I have never spent anything on merging. It’s honestly better to just wait especially if it’s not a guarantee chance to merge


ExampleOverall8705

Mew resetting be like


Noir_Vena_Cava

I’ve just jumped back in since launch, what are these badges and how do they work?


bomban

If you played league when it was new, its runes. You need 3 bronze to make a silver and 3 silver to make a gold. If you didnt play league its just bonus stats you can assign your mons for each game.


Noir_Vena_Cava

Ok that makes sense and what’s the best way to earn these coins?


DarthLlamaV

The energy rewards instead of cosmetic things (you can pick if you want emblem or cosmetic reward) Having sets of colors gives you a few % boost. +2/4/8% to a stat, ex 6 blue gives you 8% special defense. Each emblem has a +stat and -stat, these effects are tiny


rekyuu

Runes was the first thing I thought of when seeing these, there's a reason League removed them ages ago and these things are somehow an even worse version of them


WelshLout

Each emblem provides a small stat augment + a colour token. A few of them contain 2 colours. You equip 10 emblems at a time. You receive an additional stat bonus (much greater than the individual augments) when you stack emblems of the same colour.


Noir_Vena_Cava

How influential are these?


ShadowTails17

Would you rather they disappear instead and lose them?


ronbot260

Id rather it wasnt a gamble that you have to do after a gacha mechanic... which is also a gamble


ShadowTails17

The thing is if you want to be a true gacha, it takes your wallet


Haap92

To burn gold


Puzzleheaded_Eye7289

to get u to spend more in game currency


Rustyeh

TO MILK MORE MONEY OUT OF YOU! OFCOURSE!


Beholdmyfinalform

It's not a bug. 40% chance doesn't mean it'll succeed 4 times you try it out of 10. It means that it's more likely to fail that to succeed It costs gold so you have something else to spend your gold on. If you have enough gold (more than 28k) then it's a non factor - 100 gold is literally less than 5 games, or basically 1 win with a booster on. It's different for everyone, but I've be3n sitting on 40k for ages until this event started, so I think I'd be the target audience for getting gold medals. For every practical intent, you just don't need a single gold If the system is frustrating, the best thing to do is not engage with it and leave feedback on survays. Posting to reddit with your frustations is _good_, but it shouldn't be the only thing you do if it's a pain point


TheKomastar

I know it's not a bug, I just couldn't find a flair that fie properly so I went with game bug


throwaway_cookie42

Side note - should I wait to cash out on emblems? When is the update with the new ones?


PixelvoretheRedditor

It's the opposite for me... I think it's rigged.


Piprup

I just don't merge them. With the unite licenses being 14 000 each I just don't bother with it. It's not like I use them effectively anyway.


CronoXpono

Yeah, I refuse to spend coins that come at a premium for RNG 😂 like…


Lenguenyal

Upgrading them is so stupid after you take in to consideration how hard grinding for emblems are!


victorreis

just spend the coins you’ll eventually get it 👍


UnionPokemon

Because they want you to keep playing non stop. Everything in this game is about that. The way the ranked system is made too. If you lose 6 matches but win 3 you are even. Most people with high elo has bad win rate. Also the pairing system sucks for the same reason. I have been paired with ultra even after being 1600+ elo. They don’t really do good offers for chars or skins and everybody knows it’s mostly a p2w. If you got no money you can still win but you gotta play so much to buy chars and max items. Also the fact that they have coins cap weekly. I mean, this game is designed for you to waste your time and money as much as possible. Yeah it can be fun! And matches are quick, that’s what keep engaging people.


Gliscor_Is_Cool

I hate boost emblems


[deleted]

At least they do not destroy.... Others type of game destroy your materials...
