You take 60k shards that gives you 4 chances at a feature. With no better odds then going for the same damn fighter that's in a regular crystal, but now you can buy 6 instead of 4. Odds are better doing it that way.
Simple fact kabam took a **** on the people who actually make this company money. They have never taken care of the people that make this company money and all you that drop your little dime in should respect the guys who do spent big because without them you wouldn't have this game to play.
This....as I stated before history repeats itself. Anyone playing this game for even a year (nonetheless 2) should come to expect and/or assume that with any of the higher dollar purchases, some disappointment will come in one form or another.
And again I get people can do whatever they want with their money...but....BUT....in a time like this where multiple aspects of the game are severely broken and the playerbase continues to spend like they do...ask yourselves why Kabam doesn't have quick turnaround on their fixes? Why should they?! It's a best case scenario!! They're making money hand over fist while providing a BROKEN product lol!
I guess my point is maybe the players w a seemingly endless bank account should be a little more cautious and put in a little more thought before typing in their Itunes password for every damn offer that pops up....
I started my post off by saying this change is good for the longevity of the game, im not a whale by any means. I would call myself a mid/high tier player. Definitely not on the level of many of the names i see here. This benefits me greatly and im excited for the change.
That being said, it was really shady for them to offer the 500$ deal. The fact they are changing the system shows they know its broken. More notice would have been great, but instead of informing their player base last week or earlier, they chose to formulate one more deal to maximize profit.
We should know better as players, but that doesn't make their actions acceptable. Last week that was a good deal for the spenders looking for a trophy champ, today 90% would not buy the same deal.
It was a shady business decision.
We can only hope there will be changes made there.
I don't think anyone has accepted the double dash evade, but kabam is telling us they can't fix it without a major update. Seems like something their great and ever growing beta team should have caught though.
I said it once and I will say it again. Hell I might as well post. A quote with it too lol.
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Learn from the past.
Yea agree, its going to be really hard to dupe a 5* with this new system.
Still you can't fault someone for making decision on misinformation given by kabam. It's literally the only thing we have to make in-game decisions on. Yes, they have constantly been misleading, but then what do we do? We still have to progress lol.
Unfortunate, hope shards are more available.
Everyone is too forgetful in this community lol. They talk about kabam not earning their trust back. They talk about the game being unplayable without wasting items to make up for bugs in the game. The list goes on and on, but people aren't doing anything about it. They still buy whatever they want from an undeserving company. I am sitting here perfectly content bc I said enough is enough and stopped spending like I used to. I made the decision to have my alliance stop pushing in AQ.
Everyone that bought this deal has a right to be mad, but to expect compensation when this has happened in the past is crazy. I get what you are saying too about still having to progress, but at what point is enough enough? I have people retiring left and right and my alliance is a top 50 alliance. Barely hanging on right now bc of the evade and parry bug and the lag in the game. If everyone stopped buying these crazy expensive deals then nobody would be mad lol. Rant over.
Also just want to say thank you to OP for all of your hard work on the Prestige calculator. If Kabam were smart, they would incorporate it into the game and offer you some real monetary compensation since you basically have been doing their jobs for them for the last two years.
Had I spent time and shards previously ona champ that will soon be in the basic crystal, or caved and spend $500 for one last shot at one of these champs, I'd be pissed.
The suddenness of all of this highlights a few fundamental questions related to 5*'s and the game economy in general:
Do you guys have a plan? Or do you guys have part of a plan? What percentage of a plan?

The normal 5 star crystal 10k shards
With this you can still can awaken the champs that you have already and if you want to add some new champs it should be normal champs like SW, Thor etc. It won't include featured ones.
The normal 5 featured crystal 15k shards
This is the same as the current one, same increased chance but with random chance to get a sub-feature hero not the normal ones.
The sub-feature 5 star crystal 15k shards
With this crystal you have a chance to get all the champs that have a feature crystal as 5 star version with the same price as feature ones.
With the amount of champs and having this champs separated and more organised this would help all of us.
I mean if you want to dupe your SL you still have a chance to do it in the normal ones for the same price as 10k like it is right now. That doesn't have to change.
If you want to get Gweenpool or Dr voodoo you can get them on the new sub-feature crystals for 15k, of course you could get someone that you don't like but it would be fair for everybody else that paid that amount of shards in the past.
And finally this are 5 stars champs guys they are supposed to be high-end rewards not like 4 stars that all of them you could get them for 2k shards. They have to be apart like they always be not just randomly get a featured champ with 10k. That's all I want to say.
I agree but that also depends on the big spenders to stop buying these ridiculous (expensive) offers and hopefully it will force Kabam to bring better valued offers... If this was a $50-250 offer instead of $500 offer then would we still have this discussion?
Kabam offers are too expensive and we should seriously not spend that large amount even if you are worth billions... The more we spend, the more expensive and ridiculous valueless offers we will receive from them.
This company hasn't ever been straight up from the beginning and since the new owners have taken over, I don't see much change in there offers.
It's your choice but I don't think at this point you blame anyone but yourself. It happened and will continue to do so. Matt is right. Some compensation should be dispersed, but if to anyone the people wise enough not to willingly get Kabammed. I hope you,we, get it. But come on. What do you expect spending on this game at this point.
I'm gonna go with before the offer was made... ?
Yes, whales would probably still have bought this, but others would have had more information to go into their decision to make this purchase. Many have bought this because Miike said his favorite line "we have no plans at this time." to re-release featured champs. They bought this because that statement expressed that this was huge value. You can potentially get a 5* champ that wont be seen again for a long time.
Well now the flood gates are open, and that value you thought you were getting isn't so valuable.
