Ok I really did not want to rant... Maybe because I'm old and retired I'm just a miserable old 「fluffernutter」, I don't know.. but I tell you this just pisses me off... and here is what it says, "these tokens are awarded as a sign for special recognition to the best and most experienced commanders. Only they get the right to access the rarest and most valuable components needed to upgrade robots and weapons to mk3." Are you 「fluffernutter」ing kidding me!!
Come on man, so how do they evaluate WHO is best and most experienced, sounds like just give them to the top 100 or 200... lets make seal clubbing that much more fun.. lets just 「fluffernutter」 everyone who doesn't fit in THEIR best and experienced players (BASED ON WHAT) MONEY??? BIGGER SPENDERS??.. This really rubs my 「bum-bum」 raw..

Oh and also, see what you guys think of this, so if they say best and most experienced players, (commanders), give me a break.. but anyways, so guys tanking down to expert, then they have a 40 game winning streak and they are top player... now they get awarded tokens.. stick a fork in me.. 「whiskey tango foxtrot」

I think you answered your own rant. The "best and most experienced" will be based on how much you want to spend during one of those leaderboard "events" no doubt.
Although I do remember reading something the other day where they are re-considering how and who gets the special tokens due to the amount of player complaints already.

Leaderboard.. I thought this was some kind of anti-hacking idea? So spend and get points for leaderboard and you can get mk3, meanwhile back at Gotham City, hackers go rampant with hellburners mk1 and other nonsense, or bots that have been Supercharged from folks from countries I won't mention.. so instead of working on the real problem let's shake down the good citizens.. just like the boosters..

I think everybody realised that when they said "most devoted players" it meant whoever spent the most. All I can say is there had better be a way to get these easily.

Great rant.
Be bloody awesome if the tankers getting their huge point and win streaks got all these tokens. PIX’s own version of the perpetual motion machine.
I’m with BROWNCOATS4EVER… Fat lady is HOWLING.

I have a Warrior Scorcher that’ll be ready to Enhance to MK3 this evening, but I guess It’ll have to wait. I’ll probably get two dozen more weapons to MK2 before they award me one MK3 upgrade token.

My question was if they'd downgrade all current Mk3 gear to Mk2.12? That would open a wide door for a lawsuit, so I doubt they'd do that, but it is Pixonic after all. They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
My understanding was it was always related to Leaderboards, which as they are currently structured are won by spending alone. The current one seems more based on play, but that is clearly influenced by your current level of investment in your hangers. If your gear is mid-pack, you're going to have a hard time hitting the same marks as heavily invested players.
...so, it will ultimately boil down to how much you spend will allow you to spend more.
p.s. - I am enjoying my time away from the game, but not my time away from you lot.

Higher tier weps probably cost more I assume ãwhiskey tango foxtrotã that's just some extra douchebaggery thrown in for good measure. I upgraded a magnum to mk3 yesterday on IOS and didn't need the token/s as yet, even after the update. Hopefully it's not gone though yet so I can upgrade another one later today. *Edit. I'd like to rant that you can't even say "Double U. EFF. Tee. EFF" without the forum changing it to an even longer "whiskey tango foxtrot". 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 is that 「dookie」?

So I just realized that Enhancing to MK3 will no longer cost Au, but these mysterious Tokens. Yet another currency?! Now I have thousands of Au saved for MK3 Enhancements that can now be redirected towards Pilot Skills.

So let's think about this for a moment- ok boy likes girl, girl... sorry wrong chat
Seriously, ok so they make boosters to where you use them each game, every game, after of course, giving you 70 cents on the dollar. So now, to get to 1st place (for my group at least, which that top dude is at 2300 pts right now) and I average - maybe 60 per game (could be much lower) it will take me like 38 games just to catch up to where that guy is now.
Before it cost 1500 gold to go to mk3 could even be less on savings day (like 1100), now if you were to replace the boosters you lose -just to catch up.. and by the way you only get 1 token!! But that's 5700 gold for me to catch up (150 gold to replace boosters lost à 38 games)!! It takes 2 tokens on most weapons (I think) and my Leech is 3 tokens (I don't know about other meta bots, maybe more)
So in the end it will cost somewhere around 20k gold to replace the boosters to get 1 robot up to mk3.. OR... OR don't replace the boosters, and you run out trying to get to mk3 now that mk3 is worthless because your durability and firepower went down because you have no boosters left.. im guessing overall the boosters lost does not equal the value of gaining mk3... We are really getting 「fluffernutter」ed by Pixonic on this..
Now since new ownership has taken over, the monetary loss to the players in this game has been astronomical when you consider all the players this affects... if you look at boosters redo - replace by buying more (Gold = Money, one way or another) or lose them and weaken your account. The mk3 set up, like I had just went over, and no more play store coupons (now no discount on packs). Maybe other monetary losses that I'm missing???
I myself have been trying to preserve boosters, replace as i use, but now realizing it's a money pit and I'm playing right into their greed .. I'm going to make a commitment to cut out spending altogether. Infact, it would be so nice if YouTubers and others in media would step up and grow a pair, and organize a buying boycott that would really take notice to Pixonic's bottom line.. Right now Pixonic is getting away with whatever they want to do and no one has the balls to do anything about it.

Is it correct that it will cost 2 tokens to take a wpn to Mk3 and 3 tokens for a bot? It looks as though this current leaderboard rewards 1 token for first place. Sheesh, if so - I put in a long session yesterday and got to c.1,500 points - second place to some machine already nearly at 3k... So looks like other than the odd few bits of gear already at Mk3, my ceiling will be 2.12 max for all my other stuff. Of course, Pix may well decide to offer tokens for sale - but I'm not going down that rabbit hole.

I bet it won`t be long now before Pix introduce upgrading Mk3 to 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc. to ensure players start spending on those tokens.

I reckon this is going to backfire like the PVE. There wonât be critical mass to support these tokens and it will flop. There are not enough players that are that committed, stupid and/or rich.
Seriously?! ONE token for coming in first in this leaderboard. It takes three to mk3 my Hawk. I have more real life to live and it does not include wasting it by grinding away at this game. And, I already spent way more than I should have and this kind of antics is not incentivizing me to spend more.
I’m just playing for fun till the servers shut down.
Just pop more popcorn and watch the 「dookie」show unfold.

You can get ONE more from completing Operations E! ... Operation 'D', which is 40 levels long, each one being 500 OXP, so 20k OXP in 9.5 days = a 「dookie」 tonne of grinding... Nope. not happening.

As far as I can tell you can currently get 2 tokens. 1 for first in leaderboard and 1 for an incredibly long operation.
So in reality 1 token. And it takes 3 to upgrade a bot. stupid.

I agree. The truth hurts. They even put a Mk3 token at the end of an Operation thingy. My likely answer is naaaah... I may slowly get Mk3 tokens here and there but I'm not going to go nut$o trying to get them.

You’re right. PIX just wants to give you the D, but it only takes 2 Tokens to Enhance a weapon. (Pats self on back for taking bots to MK3 before weapons)

Same. The final Pulsar reached MK2/12 on my Warrior this morning and to my horror cannot send it to MK3. Weren't paying attention to this tokens bs.

You should at least be able to trash your current mk3 and get tokens rather than Ag.

So yeah, you can get a token if you complete 40 levels of operation D.. but then if you want the token, you have to spend $14.99 to unlock it.. haha, they are such pricks.
