This feels like an important question that never seems to be asked
The devs are reacting to metrics they gather, we react to the devs reacting to numbers.
But what do you actually LIKE here?
I like developing my roster. Roster slots are what I will spend real money on, I also like VIP because it helps this (tokens, bit of iso, a chunk of HP towards a slot).
Daily Deadpool and Champion levels are my favourite part of the game.
I farm Command Points, some tokens, and iso8 from Story Mode.
I only really care about top 100 in PVP for an extra cover, using it like a slow Daily Deadpool.
Iām all about the Pokemon syndrome while being an f2p player. I donāt care that much if my roster doesnāt have a championed OML to destroy the competition. For me, the motivation to win in PvP or PvE comes from the fact that Iāll be able to achieve a more complete roster.
I still do optimize my roster for winning - I donāt have more than Juggernaut as a 1* star, I avoided opening LTs for a long time in order to not have scaling problems with 5*s, etc. But if I can manage to roster that useless
cover without making any sacrifices, I will - instead of, for example, rostering powerful duplicates.
I have a wide roster of 3*, and am slowly transitioning to 4* land. Developing my roster depth (through champing and farming) are both fun. I enjoy PvP, but only to get t100 or 800 points. DDQ is pretty stale, but a way to get guaranteed covers, so that is nice.
I actually like PvE the most. Not for the grinding (which I donāt do) but rather figuring out the best use of my roster with the boosted characters to find a fun team that can easily above its level. With that in mind, I enjoy getting covers for undercover characters to see how it changes pairings.
I would like having reasons and opportunities to use new characters, other than oml and the top 4s and 3s.
Iāve built up and championed many cool characters, and Iām dying to use them, but most of the times that I do, I end up feeling āgosh, I shouldāve just stuck with the good ones, because these enemies just trounced me.ā
My alliance.
DDQ, especially Crash, even with Mr. Failtastic.
The actual game play.
PvP.
Boss events.
Simulator, Gauntlet, Growth Industry.
Fine, throw whatever Choās event was called in there, even though he sucks.
-My casual alliance, (no pressure, no demands, fantastic).
-When we reach 3 million in the boss events
( like I said casual alliance it doesnāt happen often so when it does I like it.)
-Hitting 2000 in season simulator
-Hitting 4000 in season
-Hitting 1000 in any PvP. ( doesnāt happen much but when I do achieve it, I like it)
-Reaching 25cp in any PVE
I like, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Kamala Khan, 3* Cyclops, 5*Phoenix, Quicksilver, THOR, Thing, Black panther, ā¦without you guys I wouldnāt be where I am in the game today. Thank you.
(look at me, Iām talking like theyāre real. Lol)
-Defeating Carnageā¦I tinnykitty detest him as an opponent.
-Alliancebros
-Beating a tough enemy team without having any offensive powers fired on me
-Hitting 1300 in PVP
-Getting a 4* from a heroic token since I always expect those to be 2* ISO fodder
-Popping a legendary and seeing that sexy, sexy purple card (I havenāt had an unusable 5* cover yet so I guess this one has a limited shelf life)
-Adding 3+ champ levels to a character at once
-Opening a hoard (havenāt gotten to do this in a while since I am forever starved for ISO)
First and foremost, this community. Iāve said it before, but I have met people that have become actual, real friends. Iāve met countless other āinternet friends.ā Dealing with Mercs and other Commanders when Mercing myself, makes me realize how many awesome people play this game. Those that take the time to CC, those that offer advice and help on the forums/Reddit/FB, those that merc/bring in mercs, all in an effort to HELP OTHERS!
The game play at itās core is really fun. I like match 3 games, I love the āfightā aspect added to it.
Boss Battles.
The feeling when you see that purple icon after opening an LT.
I like lots of the same stuff other people have said. Boss battles, alliances, Crash of the Titans and DDQ generally, I like the 3* tier of play, I like championing, I like building a roster. I even like the cheesy dialogue in story events.
Ultimately, there are only two things about the game I donāt like, and those are 1) the constant begging for more money, and the associated design choices that exist to manipulate people into giving in, and 2) the lack of supported ways to play the game (for example, the way that the prologue is such a huge piece of content that just sits in the UI doing nothing, instead of offering a way to enjoy it being there). Which is really sad because if those two things were gone, this game would have a real shot at being pretty darn successful. But the devs subscribe to a philosophy of dogmatic F2P design choices that destroy player goodwill and keep the game operating at a base level of fun, which stifles the gameās potential.
The progression, the tactics, the roster development plans, overcoming the odds, the lucky escapes, the lucky breaks, the planning, the accomplishments.
I like that each match 3 game is really short. 3-5 mins per game. Which means I can play in between my free time.
I like that I can āpauseā the game for an infinite amount of time. I have games which I played halfway, pause while I drive, and complete the game in the carpark. This gives me flexibility in scheduling.
I like the sense of satisfaction when I draw a cover I need. This gives me a sense of progression.
I like that I can choose to skip events when I donāt want to play or canāt play. I just skip a pve and a pvp as I was overseas. No big deal in the grand scheme of things when I lose out the iso and the 50 cp. I console myself that I probably pulled a cho or IW with the cp anyway
