Gold Crate Upgrades

[PawpsicleSticks]

Many players are outraged about the extra gold and hero exp needed for leveling heroes coming with the 1.7 patch. This was because players had extra gold. A more welcome fix would have been to make gold crates actually useful. Nobody ever buys them, and they don’t ever drop anything useful. Adding gold crate upgrades would be a good way to get people to spend gold without punishing those who are lacking gold.

Every 500 gold crates (Equal to 4,500,000 gold) gets an upgrade. The 3 paths are badges, hero chips, and gold/exp. The extra items drop once every three times, and buying 10 gives no extra benefit. Getting enough levels on the badges path gets rid of white badges, further on the same gets rid of green.

I’d like to add that this would be great regardless of whether or not it’s used to combat hoarding.

Also the upgrades to guild crates is required. They drop white and green badges all the time. These aren’t required at all as they can be crafted easily. They should drop purple and orange bits instead. Guild crates are only useful for chips for featured hero. But most of the times we get only while and green badges. There have been no upgrade to them since the start.

Totally agreed! @Polaris, something needs to be done about Gold Crates… Orange Badge Bits need to be added, two-star heroes need to be added, memories need to be added, XP drinks need to be better, and get rid of the Credits, why would it make sense to anyone to spend Gold in order to be awarded LESS Gold?

Something like:

Full White to Blue Badges: 45%
Purple or Orange Bits: 30%
Hero Chips: 15%
Memories: 5%
XP Drinks: 5%

And then, as the OP suggested, add an “upgrade” feature like the Diamond Crates got…

Make Gold Crates worth buying, and people won’t hoard Gold…

As it is, I can’t see anyone wanting to buy Crates for low level badges, low tier heroes, less gold than they paid or the worst XP drinks…

THEY NEED AN UPGRADE!
