MCOC Next Month

In April , 8.4 is expected to be released, and following its release, most players who pursued a path in Necro will either receive a gem or enough T4 to rank up another champion to rank 3. This sounds good; I have no issues with that. However, also remember that in April, spring cleaning is coming. Even if they don't have a massive, crazy sale like the one on the 4th of July last year, they know spenders won't spend if they can't get another 2-3 rank 3s. Kabam's logic will be that 8.4 and Necro are available, so it's fair. Meanwhile, there's a revive nerf, high energy consumption, and BGs have become a joke. The metas are entirely tailored to the new champion release. If you don't drop $200, you now have to face meance defenders before you say just ban 8.4 will give players who already were valiant even more of an advantage.

So what now?

    8.4 giving the people who did the extra work to start more of a head start makes complete sense to me.

    Personally I’ve waited. I have no interest in going back into Necropolis right now, so I’m not. I’m okay with not being Valiant until 8.4 comes out. If you aren’t, go back into Necropolis, or plan to spend ~$400 (if Cyber Weekend is any indication) for the materials to rank up.

    I’m not counting on 8.4 coming in April. Personally I think May makes much more sense.

    Don't spend if you don't want lol 😃
    You're not going to face spending whales in war at all and even if you face in BG, it is what it is.

    What now is to 100% Necro if you want 3 7r3 after 8.4

    I cant remember if it was Miike or Jax that commented on banquet rewards being structured in a way to not disturb the balance . I seriously hope this is the same for Spring Cleaning. Last year july 4 basically was the death of f2p players in BGs

    It's April. The release cycle is April. Expect March if anything but definitely not May. It's April.

    If I recall properly, they said in Spring sales we would get another R3, but only one.

    And whales cannot ask for more than one R3 neither, since its the rarest thing still in MCOC along 7* Sigs.

    Banquet has a spending potential of infinity. Spring cleaning doesn't. Spring cleaning will probably got you a lot more for your money than banquet.

    8.3 was October. New store content is every 6 months. It will be released in April.

    If I had used a picture of Justin Timerlake instead of the last sentence, would you have seen that I was not serious?

    Just play the game and not overthink it?

    That's crazy talk.

    you saying this shows your not a competitive player and there's nothing against that everyone plays the game differently but if you don't feel like it will impact you cool but if you are competitive you'll notice the implications

    100% exploration of an entire act will shadow any offer, leave the sales for the whales in the pi race.

    Just replying to you just so i have this saved when rewards and offers drop i hope you're right also for game economy sake
  • NightheartNightheart Member Posts: 2,078 ★★★★
    I'm expecting at least a rank 3 gem for full act 8 exploration pretty sure it won't be generic

    that's what i'm saying with the constant release of the unavoidable damage and undexable specials you can only ban so much that whaling events have killed interest in bgs hence why the solo milestones and lack of players in gladiator circuit

    you're right with the idea that there is limitation compared to banquet but remember that 4th of july sales is also less then 2 months after the spring cleaning which just adds more of a split to the player base. before this gets taken out of context im not against spending its your money do as you please with it.

    While you absolutely could be right, I’d rather prepare for the worst and not be disappointed than prepare for something that very possibly could be a pipe dream and be unnecessarily frustrated.
