lower cost of BP moves

[Shaniqualela]

extreme speed is 25000 BP

choice band is 15000

 

choice band sells for 600k+

 

with new breeding it basically makes BP moves one time use and its too expensive. thanks

 

i ran through the TT today without any healers (full restores, leppa berries, revives) and you get 2750 so its a huge grind too..

yes please, either that or better bp payout - like you guys said would happen.

Still only 2750 for completing it without any healers post update :(

Easier fix: just award BP to players who participate in the matchmaking function like the community has been suggesting for about a year. It's immune to match fixing (you battle randoms only) and you can guard against scams by either making it winner takes all BP or awarding no points for battles where one or more trainer has less than 6 pokemon in their party.

 

Granted, this makes the battle tower useless, but it's a shit-tier invention anyway. The AI is too weak to play like a human would and making players grind AI endlessly for the big rewards is shitty gameplay, that's why most MMO's make top tier items only available through Raids, PvP or other human-interactive elements. You're giving players rewards for simply playing the game, rather than playing it well. In a normal MMO, the battle tower system is like giving players legendary weapons simply for grinding for 15 hours.

Yeah that sounds like a good idea. Either the BP cost / payout needs to be adjusted or there needs to be other ways to get BP.
Grinding quick claw slowbros, and fulll teams of static/poison point or explosion isn't hard it's just fucking annoying and tedious Edited February 2, 2015 by cgaribaldi94

come on guys we need this...

theres moves that are 20000+ BP and if you use no healers (which means 5k entry + money on revives/potions/leppa berries) you only get 2750 BP at the end. thats way too much of a grind for a single move
