Let's face it, the current money/unit offers have not really evolved with where the game is right now. The vast majority of the deals we have been getting make little sense for our current progression level. There have been way too few offers that could be considered as a well thought of and well-designed offer. Case in point: Nexus crystals that allowed you to choose from three possible champs, and offers that allowed a choice between "roster improvement" or "rank up resources" were well received by the community. But sadly, we have gotten very few of them.
The game has been around long enough to have a critical mass of players at end or near end game content. Deals that made sense a few years ago makes little sense at this point. For example, today's $50 offer that includes one Supreme Ascendant Crystal and five Epic Ascendant Crystals could have been much better if it will consider instead the contents that will be included if there will be a GAME ASSISTANT helping in our progress (see below).
So what does this GAME ASSISTANT do or what is it for?
Once every month this GAME ASSISTANT will appear as a special announcement much like the way special announcements are made when they come around. Note that to use this Game Assistant is completely optional so that the player has the option to reply "NO THANKS" when it appears and you have to wait for the next month to use it. Those who choose to use the GAME ASSISTANT can avail of the following options as based on the questions it will ask:
1 Do you want to focus on roster growth?
For the rest of the month, those who choose this option will get deals and offers for roster growth which will include champion crystal shards suitable for your current tier level. Beginners will be getting the appropriate 2* and 3* deals, mid level players 4* and 5* deals, and end-game players 5* and 6* deals. Nexus crystals will be the main type of crystal available if fully formed crystals are offered.
The Game Assistant will then ask which specific class of champs you want to grow for your roster. So you will be able to choose class specific shards for your current tier. If you are cavalier/end-game level you can ask the Game Assistant to help you get champ growth offers that offer only the class you're looking to expand. The crystal will still be random but at least you will only get the specific class for the specific tier level you need (e,g, 6* mystic champ).
2. Do you want to focus on champ rank up?
For the rest of the month, those who chose this option will get deals and offers for champ rank up resources that will include the rank up resources most suitable for your current progression level. The Game Assistant will guide you to choose very specific offers so that if the only real thing you need for the month are more T5B shards then the offers you will get will be T5B centric offers. You can still get T2A or T4B but you can be assured that the $50 you spend will provide you the actual resource you need.
The Game Assistant will guide those who choose rank up resources to zero in on the resources you need to rank your next champ in line for ranking. Gone will be the days where you pay $50 hoping to get T5B and end up with more T2A that you don't really need more of at the moment.
3. Do you want to focus on champ prestige?
For the rest of the month you will be getting deals and offers that could help awaken and/or increase the prestige of your champs.
The Game Assistant will ensure that deals and offers you get will be including either random, class awakening or even generic awakening gems AND signature stones. You will no longer have to wait months and months to awaken and/or increase the sig ability of the champs you would like to empower.
For this option, the Game Assistant will filter game offers so that RNG still decides which kind of awakening gem you will get but this is much better than hoping for that once in a blue moon awakening gem offer or the odds of duping your champ play in your favor.
This kind of addition to MCOC that is completely optional will help those who are in a "stuck point" where you keep your fingers crossed certain offers and deals come around or wait for those bi-yearly deals that make waiting such a painful experience.
We have already seen some great steps taken by the game development team to improve the quality of offers we have been getting recently. Unfortunately, the rest of the deals like the one offered today could be significantly improved. Providing a Game Assistant that can help a player receive deals and offers that zero in to a specific need will ultimately make the deals have more sense and well worth it. And nobody has to wait for weeks or months to get out of a serious stuck point.
So would an idea like this benefit MCOC or would it be very difficult to apply to a game that seems to be very dependent on RNG?
This can also be an option available only for those who are paying the $10 monthly subscription (if it makes sense that it should be this way, if ever).
Thoughts, insights and feedback will be much appreciated. Thank you.
