With those you actually know their featured crystals are coming. With this $500 deal they were just shady and in the wrong. You can feel otherwise that's fine.
DZ
Would just be nice that this "b" word would come not only when the 5% top players are losing something. And I'm part of those 5% top players...
It's just a matter of coming all together as a community. But we are leaving many players behind... hope you guys can learn from mistakes and not spend 500-800$ (depending where you live) when nothing is fixed yet in this game. So I don't think this should be reimbursed... it was not very supportive to those trying to tell kabam this offer was outrageous. Where were you guys then instead of spending?
But yes for the rest things need to change
Yes, but it's been a while. I can't remember one recently. I asked them about it a few months ago and got the "at this time" response. It's why I never went for featured champs. No guarantee that you would get them, and if you did, it's almost impossible to bring them to max sig since you have a limited number of chances to dupe them.
Anyway...this is overall a good change, IMO.
why? What is the reasoning behind this?
Here's the thing. The Unit Deal was most likely planned well ahead of the decision to change the 5* Crystals. It was a chance to get one of the Champs listed that were not in the Basic Crystals. That was a guaranteed 1/31 chance. It was totally optional, and was part of a 3-part offer. How much real money you chose to spend depended on how many Units you had on-hand.
There are a number of new Champs being added to the Basic in the future. That will make it a 1 in 35 chance to get what you want, and no money is required. The odds of you rolling what you want are less.
Then there's the Subfeatured. If the Basic has the highest probability in the Featured Crystal, next comes the Featured, and the Subfeatured last, that makes it significantly smaller than the chance at a Basic.
The main point is, it was an optional offer that gave a higher probability of rolling a Champ that was not in the Basic or the Featured at that time. What people spent on was their choice.
It should come as no surprise that they are eventually being added. The game is continually growing. It would make no sense to think they would create a vacuum where certain 5*'s would run twice and never come back again. Even the ones not being added could be added in the future. (DS, SW, etc.). Just no plans at this time.
Now, as far as compensation goes, no one is entitied to compensation because new Champs are being added to the Crystals. Where do we draw the line? Do we expect it for everyone that spent Units Grinding for a Champ in the Arena after it's been added to the Crystals? Do we expect it if they decide to add 4* Ronan, Rhino, and Red Clops, for everyone who did ROL? No. The game is changing all the time. Improvement is not a bad thing.
Finally, the idea of running to the App Store everytime there is a change we don't like is getting absurd at this point. It's not a means to an end to threaten bad reviews and spending halts.
Hey GW, were you Websnatcher in the previous forum?
I totally agree. Why no matter big is your wallet or no matter in debts some are, nobody should have bought that deal in support of all the community... waiting for them to fix things first.
With that being said; why on earth are we making personal attacks against other players? Are we not all one community? As someone who literally agrees with different points from both sides of this conversation, I find myself sympathizing more with the OP for the mere fact that he's brought up a valid argument to Kabam, while
at the same time welcoming others points of views.
In general I agree with the fact that no one should have purchased that obsurd deal in the first place. You (OP), and other members of the community, have a responsibility to lead by example, whether you like it or not. It comes with being a player whose opinion reaches a large portion of the player-base. I just ask that when arguing for things such as reinmbursements, you spend some time investigating how it would effect not just the top % of players but the community as a whole.
That's exactly what I was thinking...
If so it's ironic that we start out with Spider-Gwen. At least Kabam even recognizes how horrible she is... Can't wait to get her as a 5*
No, you can change your avatar in the account options menu.
How easy will it be, exactly?
I don't mean to sound flippant, but nothing is permanent in online games and that includes value propositions. Everything that is expensive will one day be cheap as the game evolves. That's a truism. They shouldn't have to say that, and they certainly won't give anyone specific time tables for this. But all the effort you or I put into the game and all the money you or I spend on the game will be on things that will one day be easier for the players that come after us. If you want to fight to get to the top, you have to understand that the expensive pinnacle you are trying to reach will one day be the moderately expensive basecamp players use to get to the new summit, and thereafter be the cheap tourist trap gift shop on the trail.
You are spending time and effort to get there first, and your reward is getting there first. There is just not going to be compensation given to the ones that are first just because the rest of the pack has an easier trail to follow to get there. That's just not how this works. The people that don't think that is enough reward for the time and expense will be replaced by players that do.
Anyone who isn't at the top now, regardless of how much they spend in the future will never catch up with those already at the pinnacle.
Doing so would be foolish, but as the saying goes 'A fool and his money are soon parted'
Same thing I was thinking lol. When he starts commenting about high tier content with his list of 0 achieves or even Master clears, we'll eventually deduce who this was from the old forums. 3000 posts, 0 hard content beat sound about right?
Company knows for months they're about to put some of the best champs in the game in cheap basic 5 star crystals. Company hides this fact and pushes out as many deals possible that would be horrible in light of the above changes. Company claims to be transparent and forthcoming with it's customers yet hides this incredibly important information. Company announces last minute after all these deals have cashed in and thousands of customers feel rightfully cheated that they spent their shards or cash to buy champs they were told would be only be available twice and gone after that.
GW goes through multiple lengthy posts to defend all these actions and how there's nothing wrong with these practices. Sounds a lot like some Damian character still working on getting through Act 3 and proving grounds yet commenting on end game content...
Actually the first few who completed it did it while there was a PI increase bug for all champs being exploited and had a clear advantage if you wanna get technical about it. So much so that Kabam shut down LOL and readjusted the number of legend titles and Ultron classics being handed out. That said I have not done a single path, not worth the time or money to me anymore. It is expensive and time consuming regardless of when you do/did it.
You are the notorious Mayhem Effect. Now known as MayhemEffect.
I know it's hard to guess but I was Time to clobber in the previous forum, now I am Time_to_clobber
Wonder who Pharaoh used to be.
Nothing wrong with CW.
Its a rule of buisness if they cant make their customer happy then the business cant forward.
In my opinion instead of 5* feature crystal they should have to guaranteed give feature 5* in price of 20k 5* shard.all of us know how hard is too get shard and the champ available in 5* even we dont need it like ip which is really a bad idea for 5* crystal.kabam should have to understand the time is come for revolution
