Opting out of gold bags would be a welcome addition since I dont actually need conq gear.

Getting gold doesn't change your chance for purple.

Correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding is the rolls start from the top and work their way down after each failure, meaning if you get a gold bag then you don't get a purple one and you also do not get a roll bonus for purple, blue, green for future rolls. So getting a gold changes your chances to getting a purple that time to 0, and makes it lower in the future due to not getting the purple roll bonus, which would make opting out of gold bags (if possible) a viable way to increase your chances at lower colors.

Yes you are right.

Some people will never be pleased.

Getting a bag only wipes out the bonus for that specific bag.
Winning a Gold bag does not give you a bonus for purple/blue/green, as rolling stops when you win.

Update...another gold and green. I have had a few greens. Playing against AAO is the way to go...just saying.

I got that Wargrimnir, when I said "So getting a gold changes your chances to getting a purple that time to 0" I just meant because you can't get 2 bags and u already got gold, so no purple this time.

On a side note, in chat yesterday someone said they had been playing for a year and just got their first gold bag, so I know at least 1 guy out there is ecstatic over the changes. I think they are great but also think AAO is probably giving way too big a bonus, I got a gold and a purple back 2 back while getting destroyed by order zergs, barely did anything maybe 3-10 kills each zone and sitting on a BO for 20 minutes, meanwhile when I play nonstop for 4 hours straight in a close match it's a guaranteed white bag unless I've already gotten 10-15 whites previously (which is fine, golds and purples should be rare which is why I think AAO bonus is OP atm). When I got the gold I said in chat how I barely did anything, I think 3 people said they also got a gold, and 1 guy whispered me he had gotten 3 gold/purples that night while order was destroying us, think we had %360 AAO at the time.

Feels harder to get a bag other than white in this system tbh.

Not really) Much easier to get bags now!

Got my gold and purple bags only with big AAO.
And only whites with locks on my side. Even with top 3 kills places and high contributions.
Feels like it's better to lose nowadays than win.
Well, at least defenders have motivation now, that's really great, good job is done here, but for attackers... I'm not so sure.
Imho system needs some tweaks for attackers. Maybe just a little buff for their chances to get bags because defenders is quite okay.
I always love WAR for the thing that if you don't win, you don't lose anything. It really helps your mental health

White sure.
Not gold or purple.

The main change, that gives us reward even if we are not finished zone is priseless! Thanks ROR gods!
The only thing spoils my life now )). I burnt 3 gold bonuses in low tiers. If we ony could be given t4 bags in t2-t3 zones! Reward chance for color bags might be reduced a bit, but we would have no fear to play low tiers and loose out roll bonus ).
