Unlike most of the voices in this thread, I think, I’m actually fine with this update, because… well, it doesn’t really affect me.
One new gem spending mechanic, that I will ignore, a few design changes in the shop, paid ads that I don’t have access to but don’t need to care about either because of the low rewards and frequency…
I’ve had so much troubles with previous updates, that kept adding features to an already overloaded game. This update is the first in a while, that just sits there and doesn’t bother me.
If toying around with the shop keeps the team busy enough to take a break in adding yet another couple of minigames and timeeaters, if this all slows down the gacha concept a little, I’ll be more than okay with it.
Sure, it looks funny that almost the whole page of patch notes concerns the shop, but I dare to say, more of the same please.
Thought I was gonna run out of gems, maybe, eventually with these offers being great, but now Im not worried at all. Ill buy a few every now and again if they are decent.
From a personal perspective, these have gone the same was as the cash shop, and the value of the items has been assumed to be higher than what they are perceived from a players perspective. If there is a cash flow issue, as others have assumed, then instead of adding more things at the same value, maybe lowering the cost of the items to begin with, to get more people to buy them
I see a “First Purchase Bonus” on gem packs, is that new? Seems you get double the gems on first purchase, that’s not bad.
Should add this to the listed VIP perks in shop
This is great, gives a better value instantly
Oooh, is the price for this offer increased to match?
Overall, a meh rating from me as far as updates go. The daily deals are a nice idea, but the prices on most of them seem way off. 500 gems for imperial deed vs. 200 gems for 150 writs? 300 gems for a medal of Orpheus?
I was briefly tempted to buy one of the mythic troop 30 day packs, but I don’t need ingots or traitstones, so probably won’t do that.
I don’t think anything in the update is detrimental to the game though, so: meh. Hope it helps you get some money though, I’d like to see the game stay around. Will watch some ads for ya
@Kafka A player came across a Daily Deal without a VIP offer and Discount attached to the 3rd. Not sure if this is a bug or not. Just seemed odd since every other I have seen is discounted 25% or not available. EDIT - Ignore the ping Kakfa, I just misunderstood. Apparently several are VIP only and not discounted.
Hard to determine what the value is for Xathenos. But in regards to Zuul’Goth. The devs have put a value of $450.00 on him based on flash sales for power orbs. So getting ZG from path to glory sounds too good to be true. But since it’s not written anywhere that ZG can’t be obtained from Path to Glory. I think the devs would have a hard time denying a claim if a player pushed on the matter. Zuul’Goth is definitely a mythic troop. As is Xathenos…I just can’t imagine someone pressing for Xathenos in this current time of GoW.
All “special” mythic troops (Xathenos, Zuul’Goth, Sacred Treasure) were excluded in the past, it’s highly unlikely they’ve now been added to the subscriptions.
