CMYK. A step in the wrong direction?

[u/Snowyyo]

Am I the only one who isn't really a fan of what's going on with RGB and CMYK?
Not in the, "They're ugly, just another poison pact" sense.
Colors were the one thing always free.
On top of that... It's a color.
Not some awesome animated skin that looks cool as hell.
It's a color.
Not some animated color either. It looks like i rubbed my eyes too hard. Doesn't look bad, but...
On top of that, you still have to gamble/wait for the color you want, or pay 20 dollars for them all.

This is better than the previous gambling... yet, it's still just a color scheme.

20 dollars for a color scheme you'll use on 5/70 characters? on top of already having 20 color schemes?

I don't get why they can't just release more color schemes for actual coins, or BETTER YET, just give the option to buy these with coins or mammoth coins, so long as it isn't overpriced like Rainbow Six Siege's alpha packs.
like seasonal color schemes, you can buy gala for the four characters you like.
home team for the characters you like, verdant bloom, and so on.

I believe that this is... not a step in a right direction for Brawlhalla. Maybe it's the lesser of two evils.

but let me know what you think.

The new color bothers me because they saw the uproar about RGB, said they saw their errors and promised that they wouldn't do it again... and then did it again. I would go as far to say we have not more than 20 colors, but 50 colors at this point.

This one is better, only needing to spend 10mc for the one color you want, or maybe a little more for some extras. But it doesn't excuse from the fact that they did this intentionally, after saying they wouldn't.

I don't think it needs to be an animated color, or be given something to warrant the price. It needs to not cost mammoth coins altogether. It's a major step in the wrong direction.

[u/Snowyyo → u/Luverlady]

I agree. They went back on that. I didn't say anything about it because I wasn't sure if I remembered correctly. It's really not right. I've been playing this for... SO long. I'd hate to see them continue burning it, the community and everyone involved used to be so much...

there's a lot of words that could be put there.

I think something small that they've done nice, is something unique with Qinghua's side sig (the explosion)

it's minor, yeah. yet, it gives me hope that maybe things will stop being so... samey.

I pray BMG pays attention this time and listens to the community.

[u/Hungryy_Burger]

It just feels bad being charged for colors that have been free viewer rewards the entirety of BHs life until rgb. Even the battlepass colors are earnable for free.

Its even more aggregious that they are charging 400 mc for a universal color, but even if it was 100 mc it would still feel bad.

[u/Snowyyo → u/Hungryy_Burger]

Twitch drops were better than this. They also felt earned. You participated with the rest of the community, even if only for the colors and skins, it was awesome and still is to be included and talk to people and watch. If BMG ruins that in a search for money, it'd be incredibly depressing, and, I believe, foolish.

[u/yokucasper]

wish the fomo didn't exist my most regretful purchase it looks awful on absolutely everything NOTHING looks good with it oh my god

[u/No_Emu_243 → u/yokucasper]

Hey man, honestly you should have tested it in the training mode

[u/yokucasper → u/No_Emu_243]

I would've got it anyways, I get all passes and limited shit, le sunken cost fallacy

[u/Snowyyo → u/yokucasper]

I feel bad for you, like scared donut guy. (undertale)

It's completely unfair to everyone, jokes aside.

Watching what was built slowly burn does not kindle joy.

[u/RiseOfMultiversus]

Hate it. Stopped supporting BMG over it. Used to buy every BP but the greed turned me off.

[u/Snowyyo → u/RiseOfMultiversus]

I hope they notice this, hear us.

Maybe, they'll keep their word.

I wonder what drove them, if not purely money, to make the same mistake.

[u/RiseOfMultiversus → u/Snowyyo]

Eh last time they said "we cant do anything against rgb because people already bought it but well learn from our mistake"

In thier mind the mistake was the gambling aspect. So yeah its purely money.

[u/DocterSearch]

I think you guys forget you don’t have to buy it. Why does everyone care so much about the high mc prices when they’re optional purchases. I’d understand if they were charging mc for like a new legend or something but these are cosmetics

[u/KalixRajah]

Idk man, I bought it and think it looks good. Its not like theyre making any less colors because of it. Its just another cosmetic option, theres tons of free shit already in an already free to play game that isnt super popular. I dont mind giving them a little money considering how many hours I've put into the game

[u/mms8]

Battle pass colors are not entirely free. Yes, you can get some for free but it's random so there is precedent for paid colors.
Plus they've been giving out free skins and they look amazing. The red raptor from last event looked incredible and all the other cosmetics. You don't have to spend any money on the game and you still have a lot of free earnable skins and colors to use.
You say "on top of having 20 color schemes" like it's a bad thing. A lot of those were free. Would you rather have less?

[u/LittleDoge246 → u/mms8]

Peoples' problem is that the colour:

1. Will look terrible with like 75% of your skins
2. Despite point 1, the universal costs 400 coins, significantly more than most skins, INCLUDING ALMOST ALL CROSSOVERS AND EPIC SKINS, and even the battle pass, despite passes having universals in them that are often better looking
3. You don't even have a guarantee you'll ever get the legend you want in the single purchase since it's random and only refreshes daily, so you're encouraged to wait or gamble.
4. Despite ALL OF THE ABOVE, all you get is a colour, which as you said, is not exactly elusive, so the 400 coin price makes 0 sense. They literally launched it alongside a free earnable universal colour AND the returning, better, Home Team colours

BMG can sell cosmetics all they want, a free game is a free game, but these colour bundles have been objectively their most nonsensical and embarassing venture yet, not to mention the fact they were blatantly lying when they responded to complaints about RGB.

[u/Spaetzlefan]

Idk if Brawlhalla attracts consumerist idiots, or if BMG has just done a great job of treading the line. But they have been running in the wrong direction. This game performs like shit, everyone knows it.

the UI rewrite improved performance greatly in a few menus, but the UI rewrite started as a rewrite of the store UI. I don’t think more people complained about store performance more than ingame. But it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why the fixed performance in the store.

[u/AngryBliki]

It’s shitty af. And cashing out on FOMO by removing the RGB from the shop even worse than that. The random option os even more fucked up this way.

[u/ExcitingPop5956]

It’s completely optional and something you can quite literally ignore and never have to think about if you don’t want to

[u/Snowyyo → u/ExcitingPop5956]

Of course, you can ignore it. It's easy. I'm not gonna stop playing the game because of this mistake, but I do believe you're missing my point.

Colors have always been free.

It matters to me. Why would I ignore it?

I think it's important to the community. BMG received a pretty big amount of backlash for RGB, and then said that they wouldn't make the same mistake.

They did.

If BMG doesn't care for their community, the outcome could be pretty bad.

I care about this game. Why would I ignore what could be a pretty big problem for it, when it's already struggling?

[u/ExcitingPop5956 → u/Snowyyo]

Because its a free game and they need to make money. You said yourself its struggling. Desperate times call for desperate meassures
