Let's see, if you do 1000 Reputations a day you can get Phoenix in 5000 days. 5000 / 365 = 13.7 years.

Good idea, but the point of this was rather mastery at the start. I personally would rather they reduce the requirement but any changes on this would not be appreciated by those who earnt it the 'hard way' (Abusing TJR, ASL days). With Phoenix mostly unified, surely they could reduce that insane 5mill req. We're overdue contracts however, but I don't think the game has any direction.

My favourite contest 👀 let the best team win!

The missions to unlock the Phoenix were announced in a vlog on April 7, 2023. Three years have passed, and while some players have already earned Phoenix, others would like to do so but are deterred by the fact that obtaining the Phoenix requires months of continuous play using the exact same combo. It is no longer a secret what the Phoenix does or what buffs and nerfs it applies. Nowadays, encountering a player using the Phoenix has become an everyday occurrence for the average player, someone who plays for, say, one to three hours, simply because the player base at higher ranks is shrinking. Many players enjoy experimenting with different combos, but if their goal is the Phoenix, they are forced to stick to the same combo constantly. My idea is to revamp these missions and the entire system. Instead of grinding 5 million reputation points for each turret and hull individually, players would accumulate a combined total of 5 million reputation points across all combos. Once a player reached this 5-million mark, they could choose just one Phoenix, for turret or a hull. Upon selecting the Phoenix, the reputation counter would reset to zero, while all points earned prior to the change would be added into a goal. For instance, if a player had accumulated a combined 1,543,623 reputation points across all hulls, they would start with that number after the update. I believe many players would welcome this change, as it would make obtaining the Phoenix much more straightforward.
