Balance Changes, Rewards, Loots and More!

Pas mal de râlerie ces derniers jours suite aux changement du buff Orb Prime et des raptors. Epic admet que c'était plutôt malvenu et ça devrait rechanger prochainement. Ils en profitent aussi pour adresser un autre point de friction : l'inutilité des points de réputations et la présence de boost xp et réput dans les coffres RNG.

Hey folks, here is an overdue update around a lot of recent (and upcoming) changes to Paragon. We’d also like to add extra context where we can; hope it helps with some of the discussion we've seen so far.

Without that context, our changes can feel jarring, and we’re committed to sharing more with you. As a live game with vets having over a year of experience and new players joining everyday, we get that our changes can feel odd to either group of players. Most of the folks seeing this are active vets (you’re on the forums or subreddit), so we’re aiming this at you.

Raptors // Orb Guardian // Prime Cards
We hear you -- these changes were jarring. Like any other "rules" or gameplay, we're taking your feedback and you will see adjustments in the future. We didn’t provide the upfront context on these, and we’re sorry about that.

There will be updates here over the next few builds and beyond, numbers will be in upcoming patch notes.

Loot Crates
Rep Boosts and Exp Boosts will be removed from Loot Crates. We’re finally hitting the right amount of available content to remove these, thanks to skin variations and banners going live last month. These changes will take effect in v.39.2.

If you have all of the Common Tier content in Loot Crates (it can happen), you will receive 45,000 Reputation as a substitution in place of the boosts...."But I have a jillion Rep and nothing to spend it on..." See the next sections. →

Rewards, Chests & Star Chests
We understand that experienced players want:
* Better Rewards from Chests
* More chances to get Rewards

Better rewards come from more new content (less boosts more everything else). We're just starting to deliver what we consider a healthy volume of content for players along the veterancy spectrum. New skins and emotes are on a good cadence. New systems like skin variations and banners are still early but expanding nicely. Mastery is due for a major overhaul to add more player value. Cards are already in line for a complete overhaul later this summer.

All of these things are part of providing better rewards.

More chances for (better) Rewards is tougher, sort of directly at war with better Rewards. Vets who have been able to earn rewards over the last year are, frankly, ahead of our current content/reward curve. The change to Star Chests is an example of a partial system feeling bad.

We added Daily Login Rewards to effectively replace the old Daily Chest system, but left those in place until we could ship Star Chests. Now that Star Chests have shipped, we removed the old Daily. Confused yet?

What is missing for you are the upcoming Weekly and Monthly rewards. That “Coming Soon” image (Note: These are not final) on the new Home Screen the placeholder for those upcoming rewards. Date of launch, to be announced soon. As a vet, these changes, in a staggered order, have led to confusion. We hope this context helps.

TL;DR: New Daily Login + Star Chest + Weekly + Monthly; paired with better Rewards overall should indeed be superior to old Daily + Match Victory rewards. By reducing number of tiny “small” rewards and focusing on meaningful clear goals and Rewards; we believe you’ll have a better experience.

TL;DR #2: Weekly and Monthly haven’t shipped yet, and we didn’t provide context for their upcoming release. We understand that “feels bad man.”

Items for Reputation
Yes, we are working on a store update that will add some items to a special section for Reputation Purchase. It is likely to be a rotating time limited selection of skins, variants and banners. It will be an experiment like anything else in the Beta, you’ll have to give us feedback as we go. Shipping date is TBD, but folk here are working on it.

Next Major Balance Update
The next major balance pass is coming in May with v.40. New Hero, changes to existing Heroes similar in number to the 38.3 balance pass, and lots of new Card changes. A few of the card changes will be reworks that will again be an indication of the general direction we’re taking with the new card system we’re working on.
