Anyone else getting a bit tired of grinding for a day to open a silver chest just to get some bloody silver. I have 40 million bloody silver, what kind of stupid prize is 100 000 silver? I have grinded all day to earn the 100 tickets, only to bloody have a really good chance of winning the some absolutely worthless silver! Shove your silver, it shouldn't be in the bloody boxes.

I agree the silver amounts could be higher. If you play the game for a long time, you will need the silver though... probably 10x more than your 40 million balance. Upgrades get really expensive at the late stage. Just pointing this out so you know it's coming.

It appears to be really successful, its also a life time commitment |

An example here...
To level Galahad to lvl 12 it will cost 30mil in silver. so 40 mil will not go far.

If 40 million is nothing, then what is 100K/200k silver for 100 keys worth? 100 keys, through gameplay, minimum of 20 games that you have to win in a row and be #1 all 20 times. 100k/200k for a gold chest is just trash. You can easily get that from 1 or 2 games.

"they should change the chest icons and put garbage cans instead" a clan mate said that and I agree.

Yeah it's tiring.. and complaining of getting that bit of silver when your balance is only 40 mil.. Sorry this is just a little funny.. 400 mil might not even cut it to fully upgrade your hangar from 10s to 12s..  Anyhoos I do agree that it is tiring to grind keys just to exchange them for that amount of Silver... 1 Mil, 2 Mil Ag would have been better, but hey, it's the Black Market after all! Not Goods Market! |

Don’t grind! The days of grinding are close to being over! It almost like saying, I will go to work to earn money so I can invest my disposable income into the lottery and counting on my winnings to get ahead. It just doesn’t work. It only provides hope and a big fat dangling red carrot about as far away as the moon.
Look at the following rough calculation. You will need about 13,000 keys to get a dash (assume that's what you are grinding for). And you will earn say 2.5 keys per game. That means you will need to play 5200 games to have an even chance at getting a dash bot. that’s 867 hours or if you play 3 hours a day that equates to 289 days.
Seriously, would you do it if the odds are like that? And I don’t think its that far off reality.
PS: by the time you get a few dashes in your hanger via grinding there will be a brand spanking new OP bot that will mount the dash on a pole.

And please remember, it's a f2p game, and the chests give you extra free stuff. Agreed, the prizes tend to be underwhelming (except for the ones my opponents seem to be opening...), but they're a small bonus to regular battle rewards.
Take your free crap and carry on.

Its 60 M now, the upgrades take so long though so irrelevant of how much silver I have I'll have a lot more before they're done. And 40M silver might not be much to upgrade a bot to lvl 12 but by the time it's done then i'll have twice what I need. It's not like I can spend it all at once. I don't actually mind the wait but either the silver needs taking out the chest or the amount dramatically increasing. And it's not a 'bonus', it's a game dynamic. |

I don't grind for the chests. I just play to get aggravated by stupid players and occasionally have a brilliant performance that encourages me to log in again. But the chests, I just take what comes. Every once in awhile I check my ticket count, and if I'm over 100 I'll grab a silver chest. I've gotten a couple of things I needed and bits of Au, Ag and more tickets. If I happen to get something really cool like a Haechi, great -- if not, it's all free crap. I'm not expecting anything from it, so I'm never disappointed.

^^^ This. Don't think of it as grinding. Just play the game for fun, blow up some bots, and when you've earned enough for a silver spin, press the green button and hope for the best. It's extra stuff. Heck, what were we doing in the days before the Black Market?
Today I was one box away from the tempest! Dang! Got 30 green keys instead. Do I complain and think great, a lousy 30 green keys? No, I'm thinking "Oh well, that's 30 keys I DON'T have to earn!".

Erm...as long as you're not buying keys, BM is free bonus stuff. Not that long ago it didn't exist and you wouldn't get any free stuff, so I wouldn't get too upset about it. Just take what you're given and move on.
NB - Eventually you will get something decent. I picked up a Doc from a bronze chest, which I was really pleased with because it's one of the few bots I din't have, but bear in mind I must have opened literally hundreds of them and that's the only 'valuable' prize I've won.

40M silver is a drop in the bucket when you're trying to max out your weapons. I'm sitting at over 235M silver and the minute I decide I want to go the max route, I know that silver will just vanish!

I don't mind the "itty bitty" prizes like 5 Au, 12k Ag, 5 components, because that's exchanging a freely-earned currency for Other Stuff.
What grinds my gears though is spending 10 keys to win...5 keys! Or saving 100 keys to win...60 keys!!! Those prizes really shouldn't be in there.
