Come on devs, show some respect for your players please.
Devs could not care less about our opinions. This could quite easily have been fixed months ago but all they care about is extracting as much money as they can from us
8.1 patch notes:
I honestly really appreciate this MUCH needed change. It’s the only way I could see the devs actually implementing it. (They do love their rotations, don’t they.)
One ask for the future though, it’s increased communication. Knowing 1 week before the implementation isn’t enough, especially after complete radio silence for the past 2.5 months. (and the last update being “no eta”).
A simple post from a dev or community manager 1 month ago saying “a fix is in the works for the next update” would’ve saved me, and likely others, a ton of dragonite that could’ve been used on this new “increased cost” recipe or for the weapons or even Stella. I know personally I could’ve saved 1,650 wasted dragonite with just 1 month’s notice.
Now I have to hope to get enough dragonite to afford the mystery cost new recipe before eklipsos rotates around, since I just crafted my 36th dragon yesterday.
Again, it’s a fine fix. It just took too long and the communication was missing.
Thanks devs for enabling the targeting of specific dragons. Any chance of a House of the Dragon crossover for the next set? A devouring dragon would be niiice.
I’m on Switch so I won’t be able to take advantage of the new recipes for a while (and why/whether it should require a client update instead of just a serverside asset update is an open question, though it’s probably fair if they just want to bundle the two together for consistency).
I’m currently saving up 5500 Dragonite before I attempt getting the last Cosmic Dragon. (Same strategy I used with getting the last Gem Dragon.) I wouldn’t be surprised if the recipe costs ~3,000 (equivalent to the expected value for getting said dragon randomly), but it’s markedly going to be an improvement.
