@@TRB-Liverpool u got liked by brawl stars u should be happy?
Definitely the best Supercell team. I love the transparency and connection the team has developed with the community!
Bro clash of clans is far better their devs literally contact all major creators monthly and change/add features regularly/tell everyone why they aren’t changing something. These guys are ok but there’s big issues they won’t address to cash grab
@@jasetheace37 Brawl stars literally do that
@@aidanmacneil3099 they don’t… they release OP brawlers every 3 months as a cash grab which consistently screws the meta in half the game modes, they add more and more shit you have to spend money on. They completely ruin matchmaking and don’t fix it for 3+ ongoing months, etc. at least it’s not clash Royale
@@jasetheace37 of course they are going to add more things to spend money on. They're a business. Also they don't release brawlers OP on purpose. Its much easier to see in hindsight that a brawler is too strong after millions of players have access to it than when only a couple dozen people have played it.
@@aidanmacneil3099 ok, a few things. If they were “the best dev team” they wouldn’t have a dying game to the point where they need to cashgrab that much. Clash of clans has been out 3x as long and they’re so well run and community driven that they make money without needing to cash grab. This game is going down the Royale path where the game is going to die if they don’t get more community support and players back. If they want to cash out they’re doing a great job. If they want a successful game and to return to peak performance from 4 years ago, they need to do something about the trajectory they’re on
Sneak Peaks: - Rosa Hypercharge will come next update - There will be a feature that allows you to get multiple starr drops - There is a chance of an egg skin coming
rosa could be broken if she hasn't got a shield or tank's trait nerfed ;-;
More
Yeah, skins in the shape of an egg are necessary
I believe the multiple Starr drops will be gained through a clan chest like there was in clash Royale.
@@CvpOfJoe it's a great idea
It would be great if we could have some inventory where star drops would be stored so we could have openings like before..
Thats really true nice thinking
It would be really great actually
Wow I realy like the idea
Gotas de estrellas xD?
They said they won't do it 57:31
They should do this forever ❤
Yes sir
I must say, it is so genuinely awesome that you guys do this. This seriously is something that shouldn't be taken for granted, and by extention, the honesty no matter how controversial or not the topic is (Brawl pass only for real currency). That could have easily been excluded for the sake of PR, but it was addressed. So much respect.
Shelly: Why you have time to explain
Lol 😂
Indeed Wsk, indeed.
NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, GO!
Yooo wsk!!!!
Shelly「Let's do this!!」
Thank you for having me on it was a pleasure 😍
🎉
Congrats on being involved on the podcast!
@@TheAtmy_Ninjago it didn't blow up
The game really has a bright future and it is really the best mobile game and the best game in super cell ❤️❤️
She died.
@@volthahahah not
@@volthahahahit isn't a human
The graph is really sus as player engagement increased thus the amount of rewards distributed will definitely increase because more engagement is more resources for the average person. So the question is how did star drops increase rewards adjusted for engagement. Their graph showed variance before the introduction of starr drops with decreasing engagement which means some part has to be attributed to engagement.
@@shyamsingla716which graph?
01:42:54 Big brain moment! It's so balanced, Upgrading brawlers with only power points and coins for gadgets, gears, star powers and hypercharge.
Thought so as well. Gold is a scarce resource because its involved in too many things (gold/silver skins, upgrading, gadgets, hypercharge, star powers)
@@matiasamengual856 I'll add gears also to your list
@@MarioMoss69I hope they give starr Shelly to everyone for free just to spite you
Hello, This podcast was EPIC, I really liked how Danny continues to be entertaining and how you guys answer the Community burning questions!!! applause for you guys, you are AMAZING TEAM for this AWESOME Game!!!
2,5 hours!?! You guys really put effort into these podcast! This really shows that the team cares about their game and community! Keep it up! ❤
One thing I would really like in Power League is to make finding brawlers easier since in that little time I really panic to find the correct brawler and then pick some bad one 😅
And this just gets worse with every update!
Sorting them is so hard. They need to make new options like sorting by mastery, by alphabetical order, Brawlers marked as favorites, etc.
Brawl Stars never disappoints, another great podcast and congrats Spen, you’ve come a long way 🎉❤
Ноунейм с галкой
Thank you :)
Thank you guys so much for makimg a wonderfull game❤
Let’s goo Hope this will be a good Time to explain
Its a good day for a podcast
frank is one of the most frank person I've seen in gaming
What a great podcast!! Huge thanks to spend for joining in!! ❤
Fact is that brawl stars community is even reading our comments hats off to you guys
Fact
Fact
Fact
Idea: while the team works on functional hypercharges, they could give other brawlers stat buff hypercharges to allow the meta to be more diverse
or nerf the hypercharged brawlers
@@aka2384 then they would be worse before hypercharge
This is exactly what I’ve been asking for :)
Algumas skins da power league estão indisponiveis para mim, sendo que eu completei todas as 60 vitórias de todas as temporadas (inclusive essas skins já estiveram disponíveis na minha loja), são elas: piper mariposa, meg totem e ash pinata. Isso é normal? Quero essas skins de volta na minha loja.😢
Another podcast another valuable informations. This podcast is one of the many reasons why brawl stars have the best devs. Also hopes Lola gets her hypercharge next and no longer be considered as "underrated"
Keep up the good work team. I appreciate these quite a bit. Clearly shows how well thought out things are and the practical approach to the game. Stay humble, it’s a great look.
It’s really amazing on how the developers listen to their players. Literally the best community I was ever in…
I feel like if they had the podcast back then they could justify the gear update. Love the transparency and honesty!
I think an idea for Starr Drops and pins is you could maybe move common pins down to be able to get from Epic drops and remove them from Mythic, because Mythics are so much rarer that when u finally get one and its just a common pin is disappointing. But an epic is far more common and isnt as annoying to pull a common from
For the pearl hypercharge, maybe instead of the pyrolytic burning circle, after she uses the super she could send waves of cookies around her, kinda like the spike or rico gadget. I feel that would fit her character a little more 🙏
Or maybe the burning area could suck people back into it
Them actually talking about Pearls hypercharge actually makes me feel a lot better. I hope we see some changes to it as well but this was nice
CANT WAIT TO WATCH IT ALL!!
Hi popstar janet
I'm very excited for this brawl talk. Good work team 👏🏻
Muy fan de los podcast la verdad, es muy bueno que se reunan entre todos para hablar de los futuros planes del juego y que va a ser lo proximo que venga. Aparte de como va el juego en estos momentos . Adoro brawl
Thanks for explaining❤
In a future update, is it a possibility that players who get star player on a losing team keep their trophies? Similar to how underdog gives you some/all of your trophies back, if you did really well but your teammates didn't, you wouldn't have to be punished?
This was a very nice session. The transparency of this dev team is amazing. 1.Some things that I have always felt is that why couldn't we choose between all brawlers from a given rarity pool in the starr road(Eg. I have been playing for 2-3 months and I really wanna play Gray but I know its gonna be like a year before I unlock it). Even if you guys keep the current system, and decided to rotate the available pool of selection seasonally, we might have a chance to unlock brawlers which were introduced later and and are very far down the starr road. 2. If we get a gadget/star power from a starr drop for a brawler and we don't have both of them unlocked, we can perhaps get a choice so that individuals can pick according to there playstyle. 3. The mythic/legendary starr drops can be very disappointing when they turn out to be pins,etc as they give no progression, instead of brawlers, coins. Felt like sharing my views as the community managers and dev team is really great in this game. (P.S - Understanding the club league system was nightmare as a beginner).
I love these talks and the transparency they bring. Thank you for doing these!
Watched the whole thing, really enjoyed the insight and sneek peaks! 🥰
I have a suggestion for my hyper charge, the hero Stu, which is to make the hero when using the super on any hero who pushes him backwards
6:15 this point is really interesting and it's really true the feeling of having that power for a short duration is amazing!!
I love how there willing to sit down and talk with the community. It really shows how much they care. (Also I won a BS pass giveaway from the event yesterday and i haven't received it and I'm unsure where to go to ask)
About the game modes here are my sugestions: I think that ko, wipe out and bount could share a tab from Monday to Friday, and on Saturday and Sunday duels would enter the rotation of that tab. Brawl Ball could share a tab with Basket Brawl and Volley Brawl. Hot zone, heist, payload and siege (I hate it) could share a tab. Gem grab and Showdown could each have their own tab.
I really want to see when the find a team feature improves. I want to find teammates for +800 trophies but we’re stuck with randoms. I hope the devs do it asap
Another amazing video from Brawl stars! 😊
If there is a problem in stardrops it's that its limited 3 daily and low chances of getting something good since day one to this day 1 to this day i only got 1 legendary and it was a gadget in my opinion it would be better atleast if they add more wats to get them like from challenges brawl and free pass
As someone who played everyday and collected all Starr Drops Till now, i can assure you should be winning more Legendary and Mithics in them if you win all daily 8 matches
I got Legendary like 3 times and epic and mythic many times. Super rare eh. Rare a lot
And you know i have now at 26100 trophies and i enjoy getting just a super rare
Yeah u still get mythics and epics but it's only powerpoints and token doublers it's not that good anymore
Nice Podcast October! 20 days at Brawl Talk Time! 🎉
I really appreciate that they do this!
I my opinion I think the most important thing that you guys need to to with Stardrops is the possibility to stack them. So that we can loot them all at once. But nice brawl talk! Keep going!
Me when I saw the notification:🏃🏃🏃
Brawl stars have an incredible way to reinvent themselves and never get old. I open the game and I know I'm going to have fun, even when i hate the update. 🤣 Hyper Charge was definitely an excellent choice. I did not like it at first, but I see that it worked out really well. But I still think they should have a usage limit. They could be 1 or 2 per match in 3x3, so the button on the screen and the icon on the brawler would disappear after use, which would leave the screen cleaner for the player, as well as giving an easy-to-understand signal to the opponent. And it should be free usage in showdown, after all it is just about caos.
@brawlStars I'm already seeing a change in the coin drop rates in the Star Drops. Already changing the feeling of progress. Thank you for listening to the community.
If your players only want to play 10 brawlers out of 70, that's a design flaw you need to address by making more fun brawlers, not build monetization around it!!
It depends on what people like and what their play style is, I really like Chester, Stu, and Gus but someone else may like Bull, Rico, and Belle. It's not a design flaw, it's just what people prefer to do
This game is so cool, i've played it my entire childhood, and I'm still not bored after all! Brawl Stars is legendary, spending a huge place in my heart, this game is perfect, the brawlers, the design of them, the backstory... and These people are making this game, just to make us happy, and have money from doing it. The only bad rhing about this game, is.. i mean ARE TOXIC players. they are ruining the gameplay, and being annoying. Thank you For reading this comment❤❤❤ And As Colette says... BRAWL STARS FOREVERRER!!!
They should make true gold/silver skins wearable on top of any skin you have !!! Mythic and Legendary drops really needs a buff, getting a horrible pin is so frustrating
I haven't seen such a passionate team game developer like brawl stars. Most game companies just ignore their fans feedback, brawl stars takes them into account and actually show their opinions about those feedbacks.
I suggest on starr drops if for example you collect the first star drop the chance of getting a higher star stays the same as right now but if you collect the second Star drop u the chances will increase by 1% and the third star drop by 2% so more you play and win more u get reworded and that will motivate players to get the three star drop more
DADDY SPEN MADE IT
Focusing on one big thing and fixing QOL things is amazing. I’ve been waiting for it for a while now honestly since it took like 2 years to release all the star powers and gadgets and pins etc etc. I’ve honestly thought we’d have already hit our cap of brawlers at around 60 but thats okay I just don’t want to be overly saturated with them… it used to be super fun when a new brawler was released but now we just expect 2 per update. I think that improving all the old mechanics, brawlers, systems balancing visuals etc is really exciting and could improve the game even more and really has excited me over the years (also no more bugs and complete mechanics ((hypercharge and a mythic gear for each brawler))
The fact you guys make these and people watch 100% of the videos are awesome to me.!
I have a idea for power leauge: If you are in bronze 1, then all brawlers are power lvl 1, if you are in mythic leauge 2 for example: All brawlers will be power level 9 regardless of what your original level was.
I think it should be raised a little higher. I feel like if u have 4.5k trophies then u prob have a couple like lvl 4s (though I don’t really know I’ve been playing for a long time and progression has changed).And only having one gear slot and no hyper charge slot in mythic doesn’t feel right
There is a Hungarian saying: The music is for a good lunch! Or maybe The podcast is for a good lunch? *because it was released Sunday noon*
As an update for Starr drops, it would be amazing if you could choose a desired brawler, gadget or star power that you want as an option, that gives you an increased chance of getting it, if u get a brawler of that rarity or a star power or gadget. Not a guaranteed chance, but it makes players have a bit more freedom in what they want to get.
This is about to be fire
Thank you ❤
Waiting for podcast #5 !
Wait, wasn't it only the 3rd one? I am really behind
@@saulvongutman yes you are
@@ToxiOxi thank you
What an amazing podcast and so happy to see our boy Spen there! :] , Thanks for addressing everything the community needs, gonna be the best game with devs in the world.
I loved this talk, it’s always nice to hear the thoughts behind the decisions made about a game we all love. Based on this, what the heck are we going to do about teaming in showdown. Personally,It’s the sole reason I don’t play that mode, also want to note that I’ve been playing this game since release and have grown with the game. It’s been a problem for years now. Keep up the talks, I wish clash Royale would do this as well. They have some explaining to do.
Glad to be in here in the first minute
One question to the brawl team: why do you choose the 6 Brawler to get hypercharge, why not other?
Pearl:Newest brawler, makes brawl pass more worth it Colt, Spike, Shelly, Bull:Classic brawlers, in game since beta Jacky:Trash, so hyper charge makes her better
@@Alexbell-gt6erPearl and Jacky do I understand, but The others were broken before the update (not all and not broken but strong) and Shelly for free, nah idk
@@dercocacooler23the current season is themed after Shelly Colt and Spike, and bull was also pretty weak
Also they were the first brawlers, which means that probably you have already upgraded them to the max so you might have the option to try hypercharge right away through the shop.
@@skillato9000 good point
I have always and will always love the team, I think the changes are great and it’s clear that they care about the community. Not one update have I been disappointed, and thank you brawl stars team for always valuing our opinion! ❤
you make the game much better, thank you for the wonderful updates and for the new podcast❤
Ideas for BS: 1. Available on PC or PS5 2. Ability return trophies for AD (if you lost) 3. + 250 coins for AD (available every 60 minutes) 4. Mini games 5. Boss fight & Robo-Rumble available in friend game 6. "Good randoms" skins for Buzz, STU & Poco
Please talk about the wintrading/ cheating issue that is happening at the moment! Also, there is an issue with people using mods to get easier servers, is there going to be a fix?
i assume that this is something they are very aware of but they dont want to mention it to a mainstream audience so knowledge of those exploits doesnt spread
two hours is crazy bro but the effort placed into this is just awesome man
What if 8-bit's hyper charge would increase his range, damage and movement speed, that would be amazing. Or his turret range deal damage and make him faster or enemies cannot go inside his turret range or his turret range will have an increased buffer range that slows enemies moving towards the center or a combination of all of these
HYPEEEEEE!!!
Mais um podcast incrível, da equipa de Brawl stars, eu admiro o vosso trabalho❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lou's bypercharge could be once the enemy is inside his super, they won't be able to escape
Thank you for the transparency
Thanks supercell for games that are best of all mobile games!❤
Where is that TimeStamp Guy😢
It's in the description. Timestamps are in description. Hope this help you .
Great to hear about the game design and how things are thought and planned. Please fix the "New" badge in the Shop never disappearing :P
Great podcast like always;although I feel like even with the exclusive skins having recolors being the best decision,it also is like a slap to the face to some og players who couldn't get some exclusive skins because of the gem paywall or they were 1 gem short on getting them like Trixie Colette or witch Shelly that can't get the the chance to buy them anymore.Imo atleast seasonal and brawl pass skins that are exclusive to come back for players who played at the time of their release.37:20
*Ура подкаст*
Молодец
It would be amazing if game impacted the rates of epic, mythic and legendary starr drops, increasing those rates and decreasing the rates of rare and super rare Starr drops. Also idk if this is just me but I would rather get a useless gadget or Star power than a goddamn pin like every time I get a legendary (like once a month) I get some goofy pin. Other than these two changes I feel like Starr drops are kinda perfect the way they are
I think it would be more reasonable if higher fame levels made it so when you do get cosmetics from starr drops, theres a higher chance for it to be something better that way you get more valuable skins and pins but it wouldnt have to affect the game's normal progression
@nelleriver5359 bad idea, Starr drops shouldn't affect anything else
The last question is the most appealing for me
I love podcasts!❤
Suiiii
i would say that they should maybe release the hypercharges for the worser brawlers in the meta right now like frank, edgar, gale. All these brawlers that need some place in the competitive meta cuz i really love playing one of these brawlers, namely edgar, and i just dont want to keep getting dunked on. if they released the hypercharges for these brawlers, it would be more enjoyable to play edgar and the others.
You just sux edgar is pretty strong
yeah i agree, but they also have to consider the rarity because you can't be giving all the hypercharges in an upda to mythic+ and chromatics. i think they're gonna have a few rare/super rare brawlers with each rollout just bcuz not everyone has every brawler. also edgar isnt that bad
@@lightblitz7554edgar is the worst brawler right now along side frank
@@karimek10 far from it, they are just not good against marksman/controllers and thus in certain game modes are outclassed, in others they stomp them. ESPECIALLY Edgar
I would love to see more button layout option, like bringing just one button to the other side, or hide the pin button Maybe even some skins or sleeves like with trading cards, I think is not a priority bur it could be a cool idea
Hear me out: a level for a random brawler as a reward from a star drop Different levels will be more or less common Levels 2-4 rare 5-7 super rare 8-9 mythic 10-11 legendary
I love bs podcasts
But very long
@@cagansozen7108 yep
❤
Really glad to the brawl stars community to maxe this beautiful explains ❤
An idea for powerleague is that there is a casual side and competitive side where the progression is on casual side and then bling is on competitive side.
أنا عندي إقتراح للسكن الجديد إن يبقى اسمه كايبر و ضربته العادية إختاروها إنتوا إنمى الزخم يبقى إنه يضرب شعاع عندما يصيب العدو يتحول على الشخصية التي أصيبت و يبقى هكذا لمدة 7 ثواني إن أعجبتكم فكرتي أخبروني
you can do it! love you all brawl strars team!!
Missed opportunity for Jeff to say "Ma name's Jeff" while introducing himself.
Amazing as always, just wanted to put my thought out here for a potential Janet Leon hypercharge: +40 Speed extra super duration, leon can use one set of ammo while invisible
1:43:03 This is actually an amazing idea I get it would take a while to make this change but I really like the idea of this .I mean we'd still have to use thousands of gold to "max" a brawler.But I really hope this comes into the game
Most of the community have faith and trust in you. And that you would never walk to a dark path as Clash Royale did. Brawl Stars Forever! ❤
