I would love to see a new rare Brawler, because Rosa was the last rare brawler released 4 years ago, so a new rare brawler would be nice to see after a long time.
The problem with it is that there are so many brawlers, that there arent any new mechanics that can be added that are basic enough to warrant the rare rarity, plus new rares dont really excite people so players will not want to play them.
i thought gus was the latest
@@OnlyClovergus is super rare .
oh yeahhh
@@OnlyClover He is the latest super rare
New gadget idea for R-T: When R-T is split, he can use the gadget to teleport his lower half to the upper half. This way, if you split in a bad spot (especially in SSD) for example without being able to get another super, you're not doomed to showdown gas
I like it
Good idea
I like that plus brawl stars likes your comment😳😳😳
As an R-T main I actually tought about another gadget replacement for in line:R-T is able to control his legs for 4 seconds (without being able to attack but idc bout that)
this exists in the game already
thank you for being so transparent!!! it’s neat to see when a lot of other games aren’t
Quick mega pig suggestion- if you allow people to continue playing it even after using all their tickets that would allow people who really enjoy it to continue that enjoyment and would also help improve matchmaking. Currently once your tickets are gone you can only play if in a team with a club mate who still has tickets.

Thanks Danny for talking so slowly and clearly, because while everyone is watching it on x1,5, I struggle with the comprehension because of my English lol
😂
Keep working, you'll get there. English is a hard language
@@shanespencer3813 English really isn't a hard language compared to French
@@el-low6663it has a lot more random rules so would be harder to learn whereas I would argue french follows set rules

The feed back from y’all and willingness to answer questions is super appreciated. It makes the problems in the game feel less annoying or frustrating and more temporary.
What?
yeah unlike clash royale
@@nightshade4502 Do you have any complaints about supercell?
@@equate6456 What's wrong with Royal?

I just finished watching the whole podcast, It was a nice experience and I hope there'll be more episodes in the future.
I have an idea for story mode; Simply release one chapter for a character at a time, and it's just a introduction; like you're spike. (Introduce a small amount of his bio or maybe more than his bio) And kinda do a tutorial to versing a character. So anti tank, fighting tanks, then eventually the chapter changes to you being the character that verses them. This would create a tutorial to play them, introduce lore, and teach people counters to those characters.
It would stop completing in 20 hours doing a chapter at a time on a brawler, and maybe give a recolor skin for completion.
What is this?

@@Michu533what
First time ever watching any broadcast this is amazing
2:15:04 they answer no to the question but Frank quickly sings the godzilla theme that is now present in the lobby lmao
Yea
Really appreciate for this podcast, a lot of effort was putting to this, especially the Larry and Lawrie situation ❤
Any major collabs?
Frank/Dani: intense sweating
I think so
I hope one piece
Just think it's worth saying:
Thor hammer revealed at same time they seem on edge about movie collab.....marvel collab?!?!?
+ we know they like comic book dc/marvel things from their community posts
I hope they're gonna give us cheap skins like super rare or epic skins
@@Raandommemes-to4lq probs not and when it's a collab skin its gem exclusive so the collab ppl can make money like bt21
I like that brawl stars is involved with us players and listening to what we have to say
You have my aproved
I dunno if anybody in the right place will read this however there's a bug when willow uses her super on sandy while she's in her sandstorm ,it's like the game doesn't know if it should hide Sandy's location or not and ends up just glitching.
Also an idea for willows star power name abracadabra
Essentially when willow hits with her super when hypercharge is active ,she levitates above the map making her invulnerable but also can see in all bushes (Janet's super/Tara's gadget so it's doable) and her super lasts X2 on the afflicted. Yes I have amazing ideas like this all the time
this is gonna be really op
esp since with x2 time you could reallyitrrally kill anyone
the invuln is basically like micos super which literally everyone hates
honestly i think just add poison to the super as a star power since sp usually doesn't affect hyper
@@tetra8157 sound a little scared 😂 naw your probably right they could nerf the parameters but I just think it would be cool to see willow flamed purple floating in the middle of the map destroying foos
Would love possibility to give/buy gifts for your friends in the game :) either from your own library or by just buying it from the store as a gift. This could even allow swapping skins, which might increase in-game purchases and make the community friendlier.
Also maybe add gems to stardrops now that you can pretty much just use them for skins (at least when all brawlers are unlocked).
This is a great idea beside this may be overpowered since maxed out players will give out power points left and right begging for coins while the new players will do the opposite
I was thinking more about gifting like skins or sprays or emojis! 😄 Maybe coins/power points etc could also work if there was a tough limit though 🤔 that could limit abusing gift-giving
😮
I’m already EXTREMELY HYPED for the next update! I love the podcast and Keep up the good work!
to tell the truth, I really liked how each of the participants expressed their opinion and thank you for appreciating the community❤❤❤
I don't know if you already have an R-T Hypercharge planned and ready, but what do you think of his hypercharge making him like he was in the bug where he fired his main attack and also his super in the radius around him without splitting into his stationary and moving half? It would probably be too op, but R-T is my absolute favourite brawler, so I'm a little biased about how strong I'd like him to be haha!
i want the star drops to be a little buffed, how about that?
Wdym they're really good rn like who would be sad after getting 3 rare star drops per day and also after a serious luck you get legendary but getting some never used SP it's really cool
they are
Good idea)
An NICE Idea.
50 coins, power points...
It's almost nothing

Thank you for answering a lot of questions also watching in 1.5 speed was the best thing ever to happen in my life!
I just got why the name is “Time To Explain” it’s a reference to the first short “No Time To Explain”
Thankyou everyone on the team ❤ we really appreciate the communication with the community:D
Hy row❤
Yes
Hello row sharts 😁
Wasn't expecting to see you here
2:07:17
Lmao that’s crazy that they actually acknowledged the meme 😂
Lollll😂😂
Some changes can be done like remove megapig wins if you are kicked and get your tickets back
Will there ever be a way to buy a background and a lobby musician in Brawl Stars? e.g. deafult would be the one that will always be available for a new season or event and then be available for purchase later
Finally another podcast. Couldn't wait for it
19:05 I have to agree, I got my Byron mastery complete from silver III during this time, though it was still a pain when vsing Larry and lawrie
Congratulations!
@@Im_Arceus thanks!!
I couldn't take advantage of the mastery fever for Larry and Lawrie, winning with Doug was almost impossible +800 trophies was literally doug vs 3 larry and lawrie 😒😒
@@beholdenpie I did it during mastery madness, it was much easier, good luck on your grind!! another mastery madness is coming soon less than a week
@@furioso122 a guy got 1250 trophies with Doug, truly a warrior 💀
And, about this collab, Baby Shark is here in Brawl Stars.
Thankyou for making the game better
I love listening to these so much! It's so interesting and enlightening to see how the teams have to deal with issues of any kind, and stay calm about it as well. Each episode always puts more newfound appreciation into Brawl Stars. The pacing and comradery in each episode is so nice to have in the background while I get work done, so thank you!
It really doesn't even feel like they are destroying the game with each update.
I’m pretty new and I gotta say
I really love this game and the community.. I wish the best for you all 🙂
Welcome to Brawl Stars! 👊
@@frank7786 thank you.. I’ve been enjoying it so far
2:15:04 They sounded skeptical about a collaboration, I think they could really bring a bigger audience with collabs and I don't count bts they won't explain why.thats what people want.
Don't they want more funding???!
Hasta que entras a Twitter y wattpad 👹
Hypercharge idea for squeak: it’s his normal super but the blombs from it are primary blombs instead of secondary blombs.
That would be way to overpowered
From no time to explain, to time to explain
I love this podcast, you acually giving us your responses to very important questions is a great way to interact with your community. It just goes to show how great this game is and how great the team working on it is equally. Im excited to see more of these in the future!
Been waiting for this one!!🎉🎉
What???
We need more Community Events like #100 Star Drops for example a Omega Pike my Idea Is that all full Clubs (30/30 Players in a Club.) Must full Up the Mega Pig. I Hope you can do a Community Event Like this or a other Idea
u know what would be nice it would be nice to store ur credits in something so when a new brawler comes we can put the credits in the brawler
I watched the whole thing at 1.75x speed and got it good. Now I am going to watch a movie , thanks for something to spend some time on Sunday Eve
Watched the whole podcast, a lot of useful information and can't wait for the next update!
Im have big question do you do Gray supercellmake?Cuz Grey Is good browler And he's don't have lot skins😅
I personally would like a redesign of the browball or the same mode, but only the map is vertical and 5 by 5 and the map itself is not just vertical but round with a large gate. It will be nice if this happens. As a football fan, I really want this, especially since it will be the first 5 by 5 format you even currently have the same temporary mode, but how many new ideas will then be with the 5 by 5 format, even if something doesn't work out, what difference does it make if you already have a blank in temporary mode, that is, you don't need to do almost anything if people don't like it, well, it will be in temporary mode, okay, I hope at least mine the idea will be noticed!.
Thanks Dani for explaining everything thank you so much 🙂
love these podcasts, and i would love to see more guests like when you had spen!
I have a question, the Brawl pass skins are back in the catalog after 1 year, right? So why didn't the R'T Scarlet skin and the El Mayordomo skin come back? I wanted to buy them so much
I played 40 rounds with bad randoms , lost plenty of them now i watched this and im happy again
This is really cool! Hope to see brawl talk soon...
24th is brawl talk
brawl talk its on 24
Brawl talk:23th
It's goana be a brawl talk on 24 february
Its on 24 december
Danny why not on the legendary star drop we get credits or a skin but like 10% of getting a brawler we will like that
brawl now: time to explain
brawl then: NO TIME TO EXPLAIN!

Thank you for sharing the graphs. They are very illustrative and you can’t argue with numbers. We often forget that the most engaged players are only 1-2% of the player base. Do that more often! Maybe even in the news inside the app itself.
The graphs don’t mean much when no numbers are attached tho. A peak on the coin graph could be 2 more coins or 200 and it isn’t clear which when the legend is missing.
Props to you guys for actually taking time and responding and clearing many things up
Yes 😎👍
I must give them credit for how skillfully they avoided monetization as the reason for alot of stuff. They where like politicians in there.
If the Brawl Stars team sees this, I would want them to implement a feature for music. Listen, There were some bangers in the past seasons and I wish I can hear those songs as much as I want in game then waiting for a new season or game mode that brings back that music. They should add an option for what Lobby music you want and options for what battle music you want as you play. This would be a great addition for players who miss specific songs if it was from a season or from the old beta days
Grazie per il leggendario
This is amazing! I wish my question will be there next time
2:25:03
Just like what V said from the 1st episode if the podcast regarding the Dani Piper Skin is that the problem of a Fan-Made Brawler being added to the game is possibly the person/creator of the Brawler's social record or reputation especially after the Brawler's official addition into the game. (Just a humble opinion, also i love the podcasts please continue💚)
Did you watch 2 hours 25 minutes in 20 minutes or did you skip to the last chapter because you're impatient?
@@Dni.. obviously skipped
@@Dni..he’s just built different
@@Dni.. Ah my bad, I must've skipped something along the way
Remember, no miners
Kit needs a slight heath buff for the last four levels and he’ll be perfectly balanced but at the moment he’s glass cannon
I was wondering if it was possible to add an in game player run/dependent economy. Kind of similar to a lot of high tier pc games, you could have a market where players could sell skins, star drops, hyper charges etc. I understand it would be a massive endeavor given that it would basically break the current economy, but I just thought it would be cool.
Something I think would be cool is a way to show how many skins/titles on the battle card or something like that
Thanks for this video Dani
It bring the excitement when you see that six or seven so that meant you would get a brawler but if the star drop is legendary it isn’t garintied so you can’t put your hopes up
New idea for rewards i call it trophy mastery like the mastery but have rewarded for collecting particular brawlers trophies
Creo que es importante ver más allá del juego, el Lore y los personajes. Crear más ropa, historietas, juguetes, etc . Eso seguro le mostraria el juego a personas que no saben de su existencia
Yo its good to see all of u back on the podcast!!
2:17:07 excited about that!
Thanks for this transparency, Brawl stars team. I think you are going in the right direction. I am one of those high trophy players that gets so frustrated with the new brawlers and the fact that me and the people I push with have to bear the burden of the “well it’s just the 1% that suffer” every update. But listening to how you approach the issues makes me a little less frustrated.
Keep pushing for improvements as you are doing, and maybe once a year throw us high trophy players a bone instead of making us take the toll of the casual community haha.
1:03:31 or convert pp to coins. When you reach a certain point, like possessing more pp necessary to upgrade all of your brawlers (of course different for each player) you are given then chance to not have the balance lean in not being able to upgrade anything cuz there are no coins at end game and luck does not benefit you. So instead you can trade them, even if it’s bad. It’s better than having them piled in the back with no way to continue progressing. Just very unfun
Use to be able to buy coins with club league points.
These two hours and twenty-eight minutes will be awesome!
Progression vs Cosmetics
I don't know why, but I don't like that everytime I get a legendary or a mythic starr drop I get a random skin or a pin, which I am never going to use or remember that it even exists. I am a player who does not use pins and is not interested in collecting thousands of brawler skins. At the end of the day, the skin of the brawler is not going to matter when you are matched against a power 11 team in power league or in a 3v3 match where you are out-played because of the power levels. I want to level up my brawlers and focus on upgrading them to power 11 and getting the super expensive hyper charges unlocked. I would prefer progression before any kind of cosmetics, why don't I have that freedom to get the 2k gold from the legendary starr drop which would make more sense for me.
Coins are such a huge bottle neck right now, doesn't make sense to show the graph which shows coins earned, show the graph which shows how many coins players have to spend in the game and how the sources of coins insufficiently provide for that requirement. And as I mentioned earlier, cosmetics is something which should be kept optional, and progression should be given the main importance. They just want to delay the time taken for players to max out their accounts. Because if they launch power 12, people will quit, period.
New gadget for doug: his next super won’t be used by himself but instead can be given to a teammate (teammates gets an extra life)

You should do a special series where you guys invite people from the community and have a conversation and see their point of view.
Can you please add a selling skin option? Sometimes i regret skins i have bought and instantly wish i never got them. I think it would be an amazing add! Just make the amount you receive back slightly less maybe
Just increase the gifts that coming from daily gifts we still get similar amount something since first global launch 5 credits do nothing u guys can do exact same thing as login gifts example every 5 days we can get a starr drop and when it is on weekends we can get 2x starr drops that will make the game more playable
I love when the brawl team does these podcasts it really shows how much they care for the community and the game overall. Keep killing it BS!

35:00 so that explains the weird piper shot on the recent video. It is probably a new sniper brawler perhaps from the swamp love trio
in that video you can see it’s a piper who shot that cupid like arrow, so its not a new brawler
@@zRyZe__It could be a placeholder. If you look at last season’s brawl talk, you’ll notice there’s a Barley with Larry’s walk animation, probably since Larry used Barley as a baseline. It could definitely be a new brawler using Piper’s model as a placeholder

Time and time again you guys prove, to me at least, that you are one of the best teams of devs out here in the gaming industry. I’m so grateful to have you guys behind my favorite video game. As someone who was there from the very start and being there through the highs and lows, I love what the game has become today and I wish nothing but growth because Brawl deserves it. I truly believe that this is *THE* best game I’ve ever played. 5 years in and I’m still excited to play every day.
