For those of you who do not play Big Bang Empire, the new training may seem different, strange, and unforgiving. It's not really a big deal. You just need to keep tabs on how much time you have to use. The only thing I am not liking is if you do make a mistake, you have to spend donuts to continue. I would like to see a notes option added.

Go for highest points available when beginning some workout and then hope that you do not produce too many fails. All you need is luck

My suggestion comes in 2 parts.

The first part is about perception. Feel free to tell me it's stupid but it's really not. And my ego is not fragile enough to be damaged by comments in a forum.  

When I fail on the third round of New Training, the game gives me a message. These aren't the words but this is what I feel like they are saying to me: "YOU FAILED! YOU ARE A FAILURE! DO BETTER OR YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP FAILING AGAIN AND AGAIN! YOUR NAME WILL BE FOREVER ETCHED IN THE ANNALS OF FAILUREDOM! CHILDREN WILL LAUGH AT YOU AS YOU PASS THEM IN THE STREET!"  It reminds me of a coach I had in High School.

(Slight exaggeration to make a point. Also attempting humor. Not sure how well that's working out.)  

I suggest changing the game's wording. The message it delivers should be something like this: "You have completed training and achieved some of your goals. Even greater rewards await if you do better next time."   

The second part of my suggestion starts by changing the description of the 3rd training round, so you have First Workout Goal, Second Workout Goal, and Bonus Workout Round. Then put all of the current rewards in the first 2 rounds (i.e., if the whole training session awards 6 Brain total, then give 3 Brain in each of the first 2 rounds rather than 2 Brain in each of the 3 rounds like you're doing currently.) Next, make the rewards for the Bonus Round different. Randomly award 2 out of these 3 rewards: Skill Points, Epic Item, a Donut. (The New Training gave donuts at the beginning. Taking away something you were giving before is never a recipe for satisfied players. And 1 Donut doesn't unbalance the game. Plus it might motivate players to spend 2 donuts to complete the Bonus if they get 1 donut back.)

I think a lot of the angst people have about New Training comes from feeling like the game is setting them up to fail. It doesn't have to be like that. If people only have time to do the first 2 rounds, let them succeed in completing the first 2 rounds. THEN, if they want to budget their time to also complete the Bonus Round, OR if they want to spend 2 donuts, let them also receive the bonus. Everyone wins!

People tend to think about pay2win like it's a bad thing. I think of money players as paying for me to play F2P. Do wallet warriors have an advantage? Well, yeah! What else is going to motivate them to open their wallets? The trick is balance. The game has to be fun for F2P players and P2P players.

Tweaking the New Training as above (or something like it) would be a Win-Win.

Complaints usually get ahead before the new patch arrives guys. The current training system allows you to chose from various different trainings, it also grants you legendary items, pets, donuts, experience and even coins. Change is good. The old style, was too basic, was just click and earn. They made the hideout and the training changes, they've made the game more interesting. The positive feedback's outweigh the negatives one by far.

I was not fan of new training before, but now I accepted and can live with it. You need to think and use your brains somehow, not just "click and go" like old version. Only thing I do not like much is that when I get medium (or easy) workout part and still receive that "failed" message, but well, it happens and as long as it is not 9 out of 10 times...
