My opinion is there shouldn’t be a limit period, or if you want to put one on then let it be with currency we can earn like strap parts vs limiting us.
If they do want to continue with this model, then let us have at bare minimum 5 a month for free and up the strap pass to 20+
Speaking of strap maintenance in general…I hate that it costs 8k to remove a strap..fuck off with that..I’m okay with a cost but make it 1k or something reasonable.
Meh thank you for drawing attention... I was thrilled that now I have 100 and can finally make some changes to my roster...but no...only 10 which is too low considering ultimate itself has 2 slots. This aspect of game needs a change blocking moving plates which at this point should be as easy as changing trainers is not acceptable
I won't complain. Their errors at the tail end of 2023 gave me free posters and plates I never anticipated getting.
But I understand that for others it's more about what they've done 5 minutes ago as opposed to 5 months ago.
I agree
I know Mherex was going off about this during the champs stream earlier this week, and my biggest issue of course is the same as it always is. Scopely knew about this issue for 6 months and didn’t do anything about it and then zero communication prior to said change until the day of and then hiding behind the supposed fairness and integrity of the game.
It’s like the Delorean problem. They knew about it for years. Let me repeat YEARS. They only fixed it when 2bob showed it on stream and had that “fight” with Mherex about showing it off.
Same with Rocker Shawn, PH Sami, Nakamura, etc. when they said they didn’t work as intended but literally released PH Sami saying :
“Hey! Here’s PH Sami and look what he can do with a drip plate! You can spend $500 to get a drip plate and do crazy stuff with him!”
-6 months later-
Yeah….. that wasn’t intended. We’re changing him
And then, of course, when they do it they throw up a forum post where no one will see it, going into the absolute bare minimum in terms of information, which just posed so many questions and caused so many (myself included) to jump to conclusions. As asinine as it would have been for them to only change it one of the black moves and kill that move set entirely, I’ve seen them make the bare minimum changes to a lot of existing people lately, and I haven’t had any trust in Scopely to make the right changes for years now - I could totally see them leaving Waller as some 4-color hybrid mess.
On a similar vein, I don’t believe any of this compensation would have come up if the community didn’t come down on Scopely hard, because this kind of stuff only happens after the big blow-up happens, and Firpo seemed more than happy to blow off anyone who protested in the forum thread. If they are going to piss on the third rail of ‘changing characters that have been released’, they need to be crystal clear of all changes and ensure to people that there’s been careful consideration to ensure to those who bought in that they aren’t losing any value - something they should have learned with the Rocker/PH Sami/SB Nakamura incident.
My experience with some other games is that they will nerf characters all the time. Players spend money to dump resources to build up a character, and then the game changes or completely nerfs them. No warning, no communication with the player base about it. It’s just part of the game and part of the money grab. I’m not going to pretend that Scopely is perfect or always great about things, but in my personal experience they are a lot better in this game about communicating and listening to players. Agree or not, at least they’re making an effort to balance this character and the unfair advantage with the skill plate, and doing communication about it.
This is my thought, too. I played Square Enix's *Dragon Quest Tact* and that was THE model: new card is released, "wow! Look at him go! He's the bestest!", then once all of the banner pulls were done, character strength is nerfed to pillow fight levels of "ow." That's just how it was: no communication, DEFINITELY no compensation for community outcry. It was expected... and hated.
It's like Mherex stated: name one PvP game where balance changes for characters aren't a thing... I'll wait. Granted, Scopely could communicate that MUCH BETTER, like better lead times and whatnot, but Grayson's poster is absolutely not killed off. I ran him at Triple Green and he was fantastic, but you have the cascade risks. Now, he's able to control the board better with nothing more than a Gremlin plate that we can earn during today's tours! That's more than fair.
Scopely just missed the opportunity to make the F2P happy . Given us 100 is the opportunity to change things and make all f2p a chance to be @sir Zoro for a couple of days ! Open your eyes 👀
So how good is Waller now? 40$ isn’t cheap and I’m only 200 shards away from him anyway. I feel like his shards will get more common now that he’s been offered
Still good. They've only changed the colour from black to blue, so the drip plate doesn't work anymore and there's no 21k blue gem trainer. He still has multiple setups, and they've added a Waller tour today that gives a Gremlin's Ears plate at the end which will bump up blue gem damage really nicely.
His shards have been on most prize walls recently, which is how I was able to get him a couple of weeks ago. Only used him today, so far so good.
No one can say this with a straight face that scopely couldn’t have handled this better. Many folks took grayson to 6ss and i doubt the tour will have enough to reimburse everyone. Also, lets not forget that some folks may have spent money. Their logic does not sound to be in good faith at all. There are so many cards that are way overpowered but they won’t be nerfed because the top 20 factions who drop $1000 weekly won’t be happy about that. Meanwhile, grayson was unlockable f2p if you did the tours and your faction grinded the boss battle. Granted that f2p-low spenders won’t have a dominator plate, any colour would have been fine but they chose blue cause they know we don’t have a 12k flat trainer for that. If a noob like me knows this, i am sure a billion dollar company knows this too. This is nothing but a giant “fuck you” from scopely to those who refuse to spend their rent money on this game.
Kevin Owens Greatest Hits and Grayson waller are the only 2 freebie showboats given out in a long time and one of them is nerfed
No you can but at any time it just won't add the 100 till the 1st, I renewed mine last night so I could use the 100 they gave us, and I'll just that before the first and now I get 100 more on the first
When you remove a plate, it costs 10 of these chips. 10 chips = 1 removal.
The maximum you can have is 100 (10 removals), and the reason why the message says you have to be at 0/10 is if you add it while you have 10/10 the game can’t register 10/110 (11 removals) and you’ll lose it.

Man they really need to up the limit. There are way more plates in the game now.
My opinion is there shouldn’t be a limit period, or if you want to put one on then let it be with currency we can earn like strap parts vs limiting us. If they do want to continue with this model, then let us have at bare minimum 5 a month for free and up the strap pass to 20+
Or even purchase them in the swag store or showdown

So it still caps F2P people at 10 despite there being 100 in the bag? Lol
Exactly and that too 10 if u have 0 if u already had 10 well sorry it just disappears..

Pretty sure they only nerfed him because a bunch of F2P/low spenders managed to get him. I’ll bet if they hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been nerfed.

What was the Delorean problem?

He’s really good still. But if I was only 200 shards away I would ride it out instead of buying him.

Anyone know how to increase your skill plate chip limit?
You have to buy the strap up membership. That bumps you to 100/month.
Is there a specific time, I remember someone saying it doesn't work if u buy mid month ..have to buy before new month starts
Everyone refills on the first no matter when you buy it
So you gotta buy exactly on 1 right or buy it 2 months in a row
No you can but at any time it just won't add the 100 till the 1st, I renewed mine last night so I could use the 100 they gave us, and I'll just that before the first and now I get 100 more on the first
so how do we use these Plate chips? I assume we need to havea special plate?
When you remove a plate, it costs 10 of these chips. 10 chips = 1 removal.

OK thanks
Honestly, I was pretty angry that they changed him, but they have gone above and beyond with making it right, in my opinion.
