I don’t think that. I got the 9.99 poll, and though the LTs were the most compelling, I still said no. Ten bucks for a potential Chulk and Baglady… actually, one thirteenth of a Chulk and Baglady.
Yeah, I’ll pass. Guarantee a 5*, and we might be talking. Spending real world cash on the RNG is a no go here.
I’m on iOS phone (in the US) and it offered $14.99. I have made purchases before, though no more than a Logan’s Loonies.
I choose no, but in the Other comment field I put I would be interested at the $9.99 price that other players were offered. For the ISO alone, that beats what they currently offer (13,200 for $19.99). Could be helpful in a pinch when you’re trying to max a 4* before that 14th cover expires, a never ending race I seem to be stuck in these days.
Curious to see if what it offers when I play on my iPad tonight.
If they were Classic Legendaries and if they increased the Iso to say 20 to 25k I would buy them at $10 every once and awhile. If they were Latest Legendaries then no I wouldn’t.
I did, but it didn’t really “click” in my mind and didn’t affect my answer.
But what that actually means is a very interesting question and definitely affects how attractive the kit is.
Can we all just pause a moment to consider what they are proposing?
Whether it is $9.99 or $14.99, they are proposing a package that comes with 2 LTs and 9 CP, amidst all the other peripheral items. Based on Stark/Lode current values 20,000HP = 78,000iso, which means 1HP = 3.9 iso. Or, 780 iso per Dollar.
Let’s just say that it’s $10. For $10, I’d get:
700HP = 2730 iso
10,000 iso
2LT = 2,000 iso
4heroics = 1,000 iso
+9cp.
That’s 15,730 iso +9 cp for $10. That becomes 157.3 iso per Dollar.
This package then almost precisely doubles rewards per dollar spent, not to mention the CP gain. (Stark = 14.3 Dollars per CP. New proposal = 1.11 dollars per CP).
This all seems good.
But I think what this is really translating into is the death of buy clubs. You get 9cp. Not your alliance. You.
Not judging one way or the other. I’m not a fan of buy clubs, but I’ve certainly used a couple. Same way I’m not a fan of using Line to coordinate PVP shield checks, but.. You do what you need to do in order to proceed as far as you can with the tools you have.
10,000 iso is a laughably small amount. Considering we each need 350,000+ to champion one single 4*, that amount is basically nothing.
The rest of the stuff is cool but not that useful. I can get 700 HP in 1-2 weeks, and I only really need it for shielding and roster slots, and the tokens and CP will most likely give me covers I don’t need, so that’s like another 3000 ISO, which isn’t much.
Really at this point, the only thing I need to improve my experience is more ISO, but in order to buy it, it needs to be a lot, enough to make significant progress on championing a 4*, not just enough to bump it up 3-4 levels.
I’d like to level up my 4*s faster, but I’m resigned to it being at this current rate, especially because I’ve leveled up almost all of the good ones, so the only ones I’m leveling up now are more the lower-tier ones (SL, KP, AM etc… good but not terrifying as opponents in PVP).
I’ve seen this done with other F2P games. I think the theory is to not affect existing purchases – those “gotta have it now” types of buyers, and that this subscription offering will add new purchases that otherwise might not have happened. Additionally, it keeps you playing the game, since the rewards are coming later.
The sweetener is that subscription deals have greater “value” – an Agency Expense under current pricing is $5 for 600 HP. This theoretical subscription offering, for $5 more (assuming this price point and not the $15) gives you 100 more HP and a bunch of other things of varying value.
I think they need to serious consider 2 different offerings.
geared toward newer players (1*/2*/early 3*) This package is
—2 roster slots
—4 heroics
—40 cp
—700 hp
—5k iso.
10$
geared towards 4*/5* players. This package is
—2 roster slots
—2 LT tokens
—40 cop
—500hp
—5k iso
$15 bucks
the thing I think they are really missing in this offering is some form of roster slots.
ON the one hand, early players can buy slots insanely cheap, but the rush of 3* characters is overwhelming and they probably still need help in planing out their roster acquistion plan.
Late stage players almost always need 2 more slots a month (correspoinding to their new release schedule). and they should have the option between LT vs CP tokens. (and I think 4 tokens is reasonable and useful for even 5* players)
