I' for one, am kinda happy I wont be incentivized to hoard 7* shards. I think that was the aim with this update.
i'd like to see the cost of titan crystals and how we can accumulate these. Personally rushing to judgement is pointless.
One of the first complaints the community had when 7* were first announced was the risk of 6* rosters becoming obsolete. I certainly dont want my roster to become obsolete right away, we've all spent time and other resources building it, this slow roll out helps alleviate this.
It's always going to be a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" deal with Kabam. We, as a community, have a knack of always assuming the worst and complaining about every single announcement.
I for one am very happy with how 7* are shaping up. I will be able to open maybe 10 when they drop, I assume that will net me 1/4 or maybe 1/3 of a Titan crystal, and that's perfectly fine.
Even if you are at the very top of the game, the acquisition of any kind of 7* will be slow, and I repeat, that's a good thing.
I would like to think my account is pretty stacked. I have all content finished, I run the highest level of AQ/AW and I spend when there is reason to spend. I would never call myself a whale, I'm not planning on spending thousands on paragon crystals and I dont see 7* replacing my 6* roster right away, maybe 1-2 champs at most right at launch.
We're not meant to instantly replace our 6* rosters, again, a good thing.
If you're meant to open 1 titan crystal in a year (which sounds a bit of an exageration), is it really that bad? You will still open basic 7* crystals. Not every piece of content is meant for everyone immediatly.
We have progression levels for a reason, you're supposed to advance at your own pace. If you want to go fast, you have the option to spend. Keep in mind you are not obligated to spend and anyone that says you need to spend thousands of dollars to compete in, lets say, masters AW, is straight out lying.
Slow is good.
Kabam could go back to 2000 shard crystals if they wanted to for Titans. They could call it 50,000 shards. That number means nothing without the context of acquisition rates. Until we have information on both, there’s no way for us to have an informed opinion on the subject.
And if you're going to call it a cash grabbing move, you should disclose how much cash of yours they will succeed in grabbing.
Every single day this game grabs hundreds of thousands of dollars of cash from spenders, so that hundreds of thousands of other players can play the game completely for free. People keep throwing around the term "cash grab" like it is supposed to mean something, presumably bad, but the way it is used around here all it has come to mean is "game makes money." Which it has do, and it does in a very progressive way. Rich people spend thousands of dollars so poor people can spend zero. As opposed to the good old days when everyone had to pay hundreds.
Once upon a time, "cash grab" used to mean something specific and derogatory. It meant something solely designed to grab quick profits at the expense of all other concerns. Now, it just means the person using the term is a bitter person trying to use buzzwords to concoct as much controversy as possible by trying to turn the process of having spenders subsidizing the game play of the majority of players into a dirty thing. Maybe people should start calling out this nonsense every time they see it and call it out for what it actually is. it isn't thoughtful commentary. It is thoughtless derision.
And for someone like me who rarely ever opens featured crystals cause I don't follow the hype or chase the brand new shiny champs, losing out on a featured crystal isn't a loss to me, however, I do understand that will and has upset a lot of players. So I think maybe they should have implemented the 7 star featured later on down the road, while also doing the Titan crystal, that way, it would still give the players the choice. But also, to be real, a 7 star featured crystal would most likely cost 20k, which would be absurd.
