    Would love to know the new pricing in Australian dollars as well! I definitely would spend more if the price matches in AUD Thanks!

    Thumbs up about time

    long overdue
    it's a step in the right direction

    I'm not even sure if the value you can get for 4000 plat today is close to the value of 1700 plat some years ago

    that being said this change will have the following results:
    1. increase plat buyers interest/satisfaction(which has been at an all time low recently)
    2. convince more people to consider buying plat
    3. slight increase in the plat only item availability(again due to how bad the rng has become...soon we might have different crates for each piece of gear lol)

    on the long run I don't see this change affecting the game economy that much in a bad way(and if it does I'm sure they'll just lower the rates even further)
    but it will most definetly increase sts profits by a lot

    Im calling it now, the guranteed drop will increase to 1000.

    Knowing sts, they will either do this or change smt about the drop rates of the "valuable items" from lockeds

    The change in platinum prices with 1,700 platinum now costing $50 and 4,000 platinum costing $100—will make things more expensive in the game, much like printing more money causes inflation in real life. As platinum becomes harder to get, the platinum-to-gold exchange rate will likely rise, making it more expensive to buy things with gold. This will drive up prices for vanity, gear basically everything, making them less affordable for most players. To keep up with the rising prices, players will need to buy more platinum, which means spending more real money. In the end, everything from gear to collectibles will cost more, hurting the overall in-game economy and making it harder for casual players and normal plat users to keep up. This is all up for debate though just my personal opinion.

    We will be granting Platinum to make up for the pricing difference for those that purchased Platinum within the last 7 days.

    Yes, we have plans to adjust Platinum pricing for Pocket/Star/Dark Legends as well. There is no date on when this will occur, but it's currently high on our todo list.

    All you gotta do is make the drop rates worse lmao. Guess what they do when they put out new items? Guess how long they sell those items? Have a fun 2 years flushing your money!

    Will that adjustment based on new 4000P pack cost or 1700P?

    For example, one bought 2x1700P which cost $109.98 and you adjust. Will they get 600P+ (4000P - 2x1700P) or just $10 worth of plat?

    Either way it is nice you guys are willing to adjust, thanks!

    We're going to prorate using Platinum ratio of the package you purchased.

    Unfortunately, no. Free Platinum from offers mostly fell into two categories: player fraud/abuse and refused payouts from 3rd party providers. It was too much of a hassle to deal with. I also looked into offering video views for Platinum, but the views per Platinum ratios did not work for us.

    Perhaps you can make a quest that takes days to complete for a few free plats. Example, completing a daily task x #days.

    Stop assuming my posts are emotional. I don’t care that much.

    Once this update goes live, we're going to be granting extra Platinum:
    • 600 will grant 200 Platinum per package purchased within the last 7d
    • 1700 will grant 155 Platinum per package purchased within the last 7d
    • Adventurer's Kit will grant 20 Platinum per package purchased within the last 7d

    These grants will appear as a single Platinum Adjustment in your purchase history and the adjustment will NOT count toward Account Rewards.

    It shows that u dont know what youre talking about, but two things

    1. Crates isnt the only thing you can do with plat to make gold

    2. If sts can change platinum prices (to make people open more locks) they can also worsen the drop rate of gears from locks

    Can someone simplify why some people are complaining about the changes? (I dont get it) As someone who spends a lot in this game I love, I don’t see any negative effect of an improved in-app purchase rate.

    Are they worried that their stored gold will get less value?
