Save your Badge Fragments and Components - Balance Update is coming!

Hey everyone!
We are currently working on a balance update that will probably be applied in the game in the next couple of weeks. One of the things that we have already defined is that if you use all Legendary components, you will have 100% chance of getting a Legendary badge. Of course, we are also decreasing the number of components and badge fragments you normally find after missions. But we are still going to have components events and those will be the best time to get them.
Anyway, there's a lot more stuff to come (including player's requests) and we are still testing some of the changes, but I'll be sharing the details with our content creators so it can be shared with you guys before the actual update. One thing that I can also tell you (because I believe it'll be the following question) is that we are NOT going to have a council upgrade together with this balance update.
But long story short is... save your components for now!
Thanks for reading!

And also ... I've just been crafting like crazy to try to further complete some sets ... waaaaaaah
Edit: But I didn't use those 2 Leg frags though. No components to put them with yet.
Last Stand BE have 4 places available for genuine GW players.
I can be contacted by PM for recruitment questions.
100% guaranteed legendary if all legendary parts sound awesome, though. Just hope it will not be even harder to find those all legendary parts needed (because it is already damn hard as is).

Fewer drops, 100% 5* badge results from all 5* stuff. Just less likely to find it.
Then I think, well, I'll have fewer 4* results, so I'll wind up with maybe the same amount of 5* badges / month, but less 4* badges per month.
@Kaz is that what your intention is for this change? If so, I would like to vote against changing it at all. Or post a poll. That sounds like a bad idea.
I REALLY hope the UI gets updated so it's easier to manage and scrap our badges, but I doubt that's going to get changed, so it might just be wishful thinking on my part.

But yeah, the heads up is nice, for sure. No council update is also nice to hear!
I don't know if is just my bad luck or what but the hope of getting badge fragments decrease from 1 to 0% to me.

Bit bummed about rebalancing drops of items but I'm hoping that 100% legendary from legendary should make up for it!
Don't go to crazy with drops nerf though 🙏
Is the 100% chance of success only for the Legendary frags\comps or at all levels?

Basically what they want is for you to spend the what 5k gold to buy the special crates to get the legendary frag, but then you have to wait forever to get the matching components, Another NG update where they twist what they are doing to make the consumer feel better. This is the stupid shit and the reason the company is struggling

Its okay twist the 9m deficit in revenue compared to last year please
I don't know what you could possibly lower it too except 0.00%.
I know for a fact that I haven't gotten a gold fragment on my 2nd account in OVER three months since I now take screen shots of them and also write about the rare occurrence of receiving one in my diary. I also get over a thousand stars on that account and get to open quite a few crates.
Not happy with that part of the news at all. 😳😳😳

If u really care about the players and want to balance the game just set the 100% chances or increase the % to get legendary badge with all legendary components, its unfair be able to craft 1 badge like in 2 months and get a epic one.
With the nerf part, I don't see anything other than a strategy to sell more badge bundles to be honest. I'm not buying this "balance" thing.

I have to disagree about Critical Damage badges. How do you not find them useful? My Shooters hit 50k damage and can one-shot level 32 fatties because of badges.

Not to appear ungrateful for attempting to better something, but I have not crafted a badge since the last crafting event. This shows how many (or lack of) fragments I have collected. I do not do Hard Mode Distance every week, because I cannot make much progress & I've been trying to chase summer tokens, Ive done Hard Mode a couple times I must stress...
If the fragment drop goes down even further, it might as well go back to when I didn't have the level to even do crafting. At a minimum, could having the craftsmen building upgrade increase the drops more? It will be months at least before I get there, but it would be a light at the end of the tunnel.
Another though, just to throw pasta on the wall, let's get rid of Bullet Dodge which is honestly how useful, and make a scavenger badge that increases the chances of badge components?? I know, silly thought...

Edit: just realized as soon as I posted that's not likely since you have to be a certain council level to get components
It's possible to give a different gift to a player if they don't have the scavenger building in their camp, so that`s actually an interesting idea and we'll keep that in mind.
And I understand your concerns about the rare item becoming rarer, but don't worry. We'll keep monitoring it after the change to make sure it doesn't turn into a bad experience.
