First Event: 200 A-Coins, 20k Credits
Second Event: 250 A-Coins, 25k Credits Latest Event: 100 A-Coins, 40k Credits
I had 4 tokens so this is definitely the new rate. A-Coins took a real hit (boo) but the bump up in credits is nice. Personally I actually needed the credits more. Hopefully they are still experimenting and A-Coins will go back up to a more generous level next time round. |

I doubt they'll increase the A-coins but hey miracles can happen, right?  Reason being is that both the 2nd and 3rd events appear to be aiming for that total value of 50k creds or 500 A-coins. They're most likely just finding the right balance. |

I imagine if they crank A-Coins back up, then credits will decrease. Overall that would probably be best for the widest swath if the player base. They do seem to be experimenting a lot lately so I wouldn't be overly pessimistic that A-Coins won't go back up somewhat again. It's possible though that they drop even further in the next round. They are giving away a lot of tokens this time so I'm curious about what they'll do. |

So they recently nerfed the A coin payout for completing X amount of dailys and now this reduction, although I'm not that surprised as I believe a larger part of the player base was regularly saving for conversion rather than spinning for useless skins,I would not be shocked if they did away with the conversion entirely soon.

Agreed but Hopefully not during the Jav8 event. Huge Jav fan and shelled out real money to finish the event and get the 8s. I’ll amass tokens and see what I get, I guess. |

When I saw the stats, I was disappointed that it really is just one missile. I thought for sure it would be like the JR4 and JR6 where 2 and 3 missiles are shown on the weapon respectively but they fire 4 and 6 respectively. But, the magazine capacity for the JR8 is 1 and the base power at 1 star is 4k, with sucks and unusable for me right now. It's gonna need a ton of upgrading before it goes in my active arsenal. |

When did they nerf the daily payout? I still get 200 A-Coins once I clear the weekly tasks. |

Played with it a bit. Mine’sRank Three Level Five which does 7,187 damage per missile. I’m underwhelmed so far. No doubt it’ll shine when properly leveled but that will take some time unless I want to take Plarium up on more upgrade offers. My take: Plarium got me on my love of Javs and the interest in the new. I’m either going to have to be very patient gaining BPs or shell out some more money to see the fun. It’s nice the developers made Jav8s so easy to obtain this event but something seems off. Like opening a Christmas present and finding socks inside. Oh, and I wish the missiles were multiple instead of one big one. |

When did they nerf the daily payout? I still get 200 A-Coins once I clear the weekly tasks. I think he’s referring to the payouts when we don’t use event tokens acquired. At one time the payout per token was 200 A-Coins and change. Not bad, and enough some players were forgoing the event prizes altogether. Skins or A-Coins? I imagine Plarium took notice and watered down the payout per token. Heck, event tokens at $.99 apiece would be a much better deal than Plarium’s 80 A-Coins offer for the same price. |

And now Plarium has made it official and announced there will be no more A coins in future crate conversions,just 10,000 credits per token.They want players to spin rather than convert.
Instead of reading and understanding the stats from these crate events and realising players were more interested in A coins than skins,BP's or a minute chance of winning what they were spinning for,they decide to nerf and force players to play the stupid events.

Well Pooh. 😳 I just had to have it (Jav8s) telling myself I’ll get A-Coins for the event tokens amassed. 🙄 Usually, I’m mister frugality but I hadn’t spent anything since Labor Day and decided to chuck some money at something. Thanks for the info. |

Mayer just posted on YT saying there will be no coins for the current event tokens. Spend them all.

I mean epically lame, yes (thank you soooooo much Plarium), but outside of Jav8 and maybe the 5 keys, all the other prizes seem equal or less in value than 10k in credits. Seems like it would be better to stop once you get the Jav8s and convert the rest vs spend them all. Not much better, but still.  |

PSA: I purchased the 9.99 pack of event tokens to get instant dissatisfaction. The tokens went almost directly from least valuable prizes to the Jav8s last. That fits with what other players have related from buying tokens for the Disc gun events. There’s a strong gotcha element in these events and I think it’ll be rare for players to get the Jav8s and have leftover keys. |

Consensus is, if you don't get it in the first spin, you're not getting it until the last one. |

Anybody crunched the numbers value of the spins vs 10k creds conversion?  |

Hello,
First post here. I've always used the event tokens and never thought about keeping them for conversion purpose.
Could anyone please confirm that the conversion rate is now 10k credits per token ?

Could anyone please confirm that the conversion rate is now 10k credits per token ? Welcome to the forum! I think it might be a bit less now. The last time around I got an uneven number of credits back, like 32,500 or something. But I wasn't paying attention to how many tokens I had before the event ended. My guess is the rate was between 5-8k per token. Of course, they could adjust it again this time around. And that would be for the red tokens (from the valentine skins crate). I heard on YT that the pink tokens (for the Gauss 10 crate) will probably convert to a mix of tokens and A-Coins (like 30k credits + 100 A-Coins) but they weren't sure of the exact payout. |

Thank you for your welcome and for this information, Footloose  It's disheartening to learn that the credit payout has possibly decreased even further... But if the pink tokens do convert to A-coins as well, then that'd be good news. I'm anxious to find out  |

Well, I got my 4 red tokens converted and it looks like the new rate is 7,000 credits per token. Grrrr. Don't understand why they had to drop the conversion rate even further down. It was awful enough already.
Anyone convert a pink token? I used all mine (to no good effect) but I'd be curious what the rate for those was.

Yes, and I've got better news on that front : I ended up with 200 A-coins + 80.000 credits. However I think that's for two pink tokens, so maybe the new rate is 100 A-coins + 40.000 credits per token ?
Someone else please confirm. |

So now we have green tokens for the Longarm 12 event. I suppose they'll be the same rate as last time, i.e. 100 A-coins + 40.000 credits per token.
