What did you receive for your old boosters? I had: 600 damage 70 health 50 1d health 100 or so key booster 5 speed boosters 14 Ag boosters 1 30 min ability cooldown The exchange seems fine to me. It remains to be seen how fast I burn through them. No doubt this will be monetized somehow.

Someone on YT has a calculator that will show how your old boosters combined for the current number, so it makes sense to you.
Also, the new boosters are bugged and can't be used...
So beware until the bug is fixed that you don't burn your gold reserves trying to activate boosters without an activationj buttion.

Good to know.

Won`t this be because activation is automatic - you don`t get to chose when to use them, they just activate automatically for each game?

They are intended to be auto-egaged, no selection required (or allowed). You should be able to see that they’re working if you have resource boosters, the others would be hard to verify.

Took a SS before a battle
Then before the next one
Can see where they made the changes in Battle Rewards chests.
If you run out though it will be a heavy drain on your Au to use them.

Yes, so for me the question becomes 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is the purpose of boosters if pix has removed the option for us to choose when we want to use them? Is the whole scheme to just give us some sort of visual pacifier in the interim as they are slowly phased outâ¦or phased in to yet another scammy scheme down the road?

Indeed they are now Auto- use Rollo Tomasi, mine just did not activate for a number of matches. This may be intended to stop tankers from saving boosters while dropping leagues, without actually addressing the issues of tankers & hackers. Once again a huge disappointment from Pixonic. They have time to make things suck up everyone's resources, but not fix actual game issues. Some of us like me save mine to use during my live streams.

only got around to a few matches this morning waking up earlier than normal, and wanted to check out what the big hub bub was for boosters. Only thing I see so far, is death clans and spawn raids are more prevalent, both ways. I’ve seen way more Expert 1 and master 3/2 with most if not all mk3 gear, and NO team effort mentality. Maybe it was an off day. I liked the boost, but it also goes both ways as well. Games are much faster. it’s a dog eat dog world. Makes you think what calamity is next in the works.

What a joke, no option to run without them. Rarely do i use them, now I'm forced too, every 「fluffernutter」ing game for 「fluffernutter」 knows how long, what a bunch of 「fluffernutter」ing crooks. Who knows if the conversion was legit? They couldn't have built a toggle to turn off. Unscrupulous, dodgy, AF. Deliberately pissing of players now, not even trying to hide it now, along with weapons going through walls, lag, hackers, MM and targeting issues. Same maps and just a relentless supply of new content 「dookied」 out continuously, this game is a shell of it's former decaying lifeless body.

I wrote that and then got this, lol. …as well as individual booster categories - as in some parts sold separately.

I got a ton of the new ones converted from my old ones and I'm okay with it. The new Defence booster itself is impressive because it includes the speed boost in it, which I normally would never have, and Attack has the ability reset shortening built into it, too. The Resource booster isn't as big a deal (although I don't mind the 200% gold), but the big question is going to be how many of these they give away vs. sell. I think these will be a big part of clan task rewards.

The resource booster doesn't include "honor" boosts, which is sad. That really helped with some of the event tasks.

I reckon the tanker concept flaunted by Pix is a red herring. For maxed or near maxed tankers this change wont make any difference. They will still utterly trash everyone else. I would also argue that if a non maxed tanker was using boosters than all he needs to do is drop say from Gold 1 to gold 2 and presto, the effect of defense and attack booster changes have been mitigated (if they were using boosters). Will get more rewards too. Tankers with league appropriate gear dont need boosters. Also, if Pix keeps offering free boosters at a particular time during the day than all that needs to be done is to tank before that time. The stock pile will be depleted indeed but the daily booster offer will mean that they will always be on hand. The tanking solution is easy. Run a script and say if you pick up someone in Gold with 10,000 wins and the hanger strength is above a certain value than bump up to Champions League. Run the script frequently. But do people actually think that Pix cares about the tanking problem provided it is not out of control. The game frustrates many into spending. Tankers are the frustration agents in lower leagues.

Not only that, but why the 「fluffernutter」 would a tanker use any booster to begin with? Feels like it'd be a waste, I wouldn't think that anything besides a silver booster would be noticeable.

They still can be earned in daily task, but you can't stack them unless doing all task at once or buying them. Which I think is Pixonics goal to push people into buying the booster bundles.
As far as tankers or just normal players having to mandatory use boosters, I have encountered many using Destrier & the like in Champ leagues. I'm guessing this is some form of protest to keep the current league they are in. We all know running boosters usually result in up-tiered matches which usually result in a higher loss rate, and / or low placement on the winning team. This usually drops the amount of cups.
Just goes to show Pixonic will screw their own league system to push everyone into Champs for a quick cash grab. I bet the server analytics will be way off for quite some time until things normalize.

Ive burned through all but 20 add damage boosters ever since they announced the overhaul.
Because overhaul in pixspeak means "screw u". Esp. Wnen they tell ya they are gonna exchange anything in your inventory. The key word is change.
Btw i got 12 attack boosters for my 20 add dams.
Well one less thing to manage. Problem is the change opened up a prime piece of digital real estate on the hangar page....
I cant WAIT! to see what new portal to 「fluffernutter」ery opens when the new button is put in. Betcha by next update. Wheeeeeee!
Im not happy about the change. I run mk1, mostly legacy bots. Having the ability to pick and choose certain enhancements AND WHEN TO USE THEM seemed to be working well.
I could not use them for instance where they offer no advantage, such as sessions w/ unplayable lag or too many death squads in the mm.
I think the worst part is that pix, without asking, took CONTROL over a game currency THAT I EARNED.
The only part of it they got right was the booster per game idea instead of fixed time whether you were playing or not.
Heres the other plroblem.
EVERYBODY that has a stash is going to be on steroids for the forseeable future and addicted to them when you run out. Everybody thats been playing a while and stacked boosters or spends a lot of money are getting essentially mk4+, BUT AS A SERVICE. ONLY GOOD FOR THE MOMENT YOU BUY THEM IN GAME TIME. INFLATION PROOF ALMOST.
Everyone without them is going to get smashed. That includes me. Im not buying the dam things so i guess its quit or get better.
NICE JOB PIX

And no, I don't think this is to stop tankers, I think this is to stop rage quitters and those that stop playing battle. Now if you rage quit or walk away from a battle "because" you actually lose something.
When you've just been seal club'd and you decide it is time to just leave, a voice at the back of your hear will say "are you sure you want to waste those boosters?"
