I got a $60 Amazon gift card for Christmas that I haven’t committed to using yet. I like the costume. The tokens and HP are good, especially since Gobby and BSSM are two of my worst covered 5s (BSSM is my worst) and I’ll be in the thick of building a 3 farm in the next several weeks.
But I still am having a hard time pulling the trigger on this. Mostly because I don’t want to give the impression that this is a good, sustainable offering for costumes moving forward.
Still haven’t made up my mind 100 percent, we’ll see.
I wish we’d have had more heads up about the Masked Vengeance vault. Would have pulled quite a bit, instead I’ll pull a few and probably get no 5*s. Exciting.
Also the ruination of a good idea (costumes) continues due to price gauging… yay?
I think the Thor deal had more HP, a much better Costume (IMO), and CP you could use on anything, not just one store. Compared to the Thor deal (which was ridiculous in its own right) this deal seems 99% ridiculous.
It looks like they are experimenting with which resources people value more to provide a reason to charge the high price. This has less HP but 5 tokens gets you more legendary pulls than 75 CP does (3, but you can spend it where you want). I don’t either think either is worth 75$ but the sales data will let them know which is more preferred.
Vote with your wallets! Which means vote by not using your wallets. We can accomplish a lot by doing nothing.
I do like the idea of a periodic classic Legends store though…but I wish we had more warning! The lack of communication makes players hoard resources for unexpected opportunities. Please stop making us hoard resources!
By the way, we’re still waiting for costume availability (and I quote), “to players who reach particular achievements in the game.” So far, the only achievement I am aware of which I can accomplish to gain a costume is to open my wallet.
Also, the costumes so far have been largely underwhelming. Who’s clamoring for a Green Goblin costume? I’m still trying to wrap my head around Deadpool with lady parts, Kamala in jeans, and Cage in shorts. Are these things truly meant to inspire spending?
I’ve been suggesting constantly rotating 5* special stores for ages (and I’m sure I haven’t been the only one), so well done for finally plucking one of those out of thin air. Please let this be the beginning of them being a regular thing, giving people a vaguely viable route to cover old 5*s.
The bizarrely expensive routes to get costumes continues to be a weird policy, but I wouldn’t pay 99 cents for them, so I’m probably not best placed to comment.
I am glad the devs are using costumes to develope more revenue streams as it does not give an advantage to spending, but dam $75?? I also play clash royale and they sold emotes for $3.00 for 3 and then eventually in game currency. Yes they had some special packs for $20 with chests and emotes.
I ended up spending HP into the vault that had the C4ge costume and got it, but i did that because I was chasing the C4ge cover in there (which I also got). I’m still totaly f2p
