QOL request: bit trading store

[Drewman]

I’ve been playing since the beginning and I’m sitting on hundreds of thousands and even millions with some badge bits that never get used. Can we get a swap shop for them?

Something like:

3:1 for a random bit
10:1 for a random bit that you have less than x for (maybe 1000 or so)
25:1 for a bit you get to select.

So 1250 bits from a badge you no longer need can be traded for enough bits for something you actually need.

It can even be more in depth and have a crafting system. For example, the above ratio could work only for badges of the same color. To trade up from an orange badge to a red badge could be 1250 orange bits and a full red badge to craft a red badge you need.

Just spitballing here, but this abundance of bits we don’t use needs a sink of some kind.

I suggested something along these lines, but different a bit long time ago. Nothing like that was ever considered.

Basically the idea was that you could exchange X bits from lower rank for 1 bit of newer/newest rank.

And the calculation was:
1 bit you get for 2 different bits introduced in the same rank (say E0 introduced bit for 2 other E0 introduced bits),
1 bit for 3 different bits of previous rank (E0 bit for 3 Y30 bits)
etc.

Meaning you could get 1 E0 badge bit for 33 Y0 bits exchanged or 53 R0 bits… or even 62 O0 or 67 P0 bits.
Given the fact that gold crates give thousands of full blue badges and that you can get trillions of blue badge bits from raiding the campaign - those wouldn´t be included in the idea.

This all could have used the building previously used (in the very early beta) for Vault.
@Samm maybe a feedback to share.

Note: it wouldn´t work the opposite way (aka getting more lower ranked bits for a higher ranked bit - as it might to a degree screw up the economy)

Thanks for the suggestion! A trading store would require a lot of dev work, vfx, etc. I don’t think we’d add a whole new store. What about a Guild Perk that reduced or eliminated the type of Badge Bits that aren’t useful? They may be more open to something like that.

@Samm

that reduced or eliminated the type of Badge Bits that aren’t useful?

uhm why not just select like 7 raidable stages and change the Badge Bits then contain once per big update then?

That would be better
Theoretically something like badge bit map with normal campaign stages is doable by community…even.

A guild perks to remove them? That seems like us spending our resources to get less resources.

We just need to be able to do something with them other than sell them. Especially since several years worth of collecting them is worth less than a single days worth of gold from surge.
