Hello Everyone,
We are working on a solution that will help any players who frequently reach their Giggity Watts cap and other issues related to that problem.
Our current plan is to add a system that will let players exchange 1000 Watts for a random epic card (from the Stones pool) and 50 Legendary Stones. Each time you do this, you will have a 10% chance to get a Legendary instead of an Epic!
We hope for this feature to go live this month. As we work to get it added to Throwdown, we’re open to your feedback and questions. Let us know what you think!

Meh. Not what I was hoping for.
Basically 10,000 GWs for a legendary card. That's a pretty poor conversion rate. Also, what pool is the legendary drawing from? The Nixon pool? The Stones pool? Or the current BGE GT pool?
I'd much rather have been able to use GWs for Mom Box pulls.

@Modchi - Is there anything in the works in regards to exchanging epic stones & epic pc stones for something else. There are a lot of top tier players that dont even use epic cards anymore thus making these stones useless and pointless.

10k gws does not mean you automatically get a legend. Its every time you pull you have a 10% chance. They dont stack.

It means a 10% chance of leg not a leg after 10times doing it...basically it means 25 gws for 1000

So for players who don't or rarely use Epics it's basically exchange 1000GW for 25GW? I mean it's better than just asking for them to be removed but it's not much of a solution to an in game problem that isn't the fault of the player.

Meh. It's close enough to use as a data point.
For example, I've tracked pulling 210 SEPs and have gotten 20 leg cards. So that's close enough to 10% that I've been using 10% as the quoted pull rate when discussing SEPs.

Not what I was hoping for... Rather exchange 1000 watts for 1000 GT....maybe only allow this conversion only when one has 20000 /5000 watts?
But seriously 1000 watts for an epic with only 10% chance for a legendary is just lame....
Other suggestions
1000 watts for 8 mom box pulls
5000 watts for a legendary
1000 watts for 1000 GT
1000 watts for an SEP
1000 watts for 3 24h research speedups

i think it would be better to just remove the giggty watts cap all together or if youre really wanting to do a conversion how about for turds, wonder warf coins or even nixons. 1000 gw for an epic which is 25 gw isnt really all that great of a deal for the vast majority of the community who doesnt use epic cards.

So convert 50 epics for 1000 watts. Convert 1000 watts for one epic. Kong math

This is a letdown. Revert the numbers and you have a 90% chance of converting 1000 GW into 25 GW. Would much rather see the ability to convert them into research speed ups.

For people who are capped on watts, an epic is only worth the watts it recycles to because they don't use epics. So you spend 1000 GW's (worth $7.14 by way of the giggtywatt amplifier, as one valuation method) and get what is worth 30.5 GW's (expected value is .9x25 + .1x80). It is better than the current situation but it's a lousy deal. There are good alternatives above.

1000 watts for a trade to Epic only worthonly 25 watts? KONG SCAM

I would rather bin 10,000 gw and guarantee a legendary than buy epics I’m going to bin for gw’s and have a chance of a legendary

Remove all currency caps and implement an overall currency converter!! 1000w to convert to 25w. Lmao!!! We need something worthwhile, not a slap in the deck!!

The main problem is, that no one who accumulates 5000 GW is in need of an epic card. What we need is a guaranteed legendary card. So I’d suggest:
5000 GW for 500 legendary stones
This way people would get their legendary card and the balance of power wouldn’t be touched, since the legendary stone card pool isn’t the strongest to begin with.

Wow really? Who is the decision maker for you guys at kong? This has to be the biggest let down you guys have come up with yet. If I wanted more epics I would spend my golden turds on drunk bge again.

You people are unbelievable... you bitch, gripe, and moan for something to be done about it, and then when they do something about it, you bitch, gripe, and moan about that!

I can see months of thought went into this but at least I get to tidy up my inventory as I exchange 1000 watts for 25 watts.

some ppl really do complain just to complain on here
they want 1000 GTs for 1000 GWs but theyre the same thing cuz im pretty sure GTs chances are around 10% for legs, maybe less lol
anyways. research speedups woulda been cool too.
but im in need of watts so it doesnt affect me either way

10,000watts for 250 leg pc stones for current bge kinda like the chance pack whiskey Brian idea. 40,000 watts 1 lg pc, 160,000 max quad leg pc or 20,000 watts for 1 leg which can only be obtain through this etc...last a month the cycle out
