I thought of the option, but since the reasons for not buying it may abound, Iād hope further details would be provided instead: in my case, my lack of spending is directly related to the interactions (experienced and observed) with/by company representatives in these forums.
Also just bought the pass to support the game /developers (in the past i bought some gems, i didnt really need).
But atm the communication here is just non existent and doesnt motivate me to buy the next one.
I didnāt buy but have considered it very briefly. The decision was simple; a company that is satisfied with a bug laden product is unworthy of investment.
No pass for me, never will be until they fix a number of issues with bugs/Imperial Deeds/medals/tokens/souls/coin purses need to go or be converted into something useful. It starts with communication tbf, improve that and I may invest, but right now, the game experience is not being improved and hasnāt for some time.
I mean did anyone expect 8 power orbs and $10 for the elite pass? Thatās the customer service you get for payingā¦
Where are the instructions, whereās the customer service for those paying customersā¦
I bought a pass, and Iām happy with the value I received in return. I like supporting the game but I prefer it when I receive some worthwhile in-game recompense.
That said, Iām very disappointed with the completely unannounced return of the blue orb grind to maintain my troop collection, but thatās IMHO independent of the value I received from the pass. Others are welcome to have varying mileage on that one.
I bought the pass today. I think 10$ not a big deal in every 3 months.
But I disagree with the value. It is the first real p2w item in the game, you get troops which brakes the game balance. Till this point you could get everything for with time.
The rewards were somewhat minuscule, I really did it for the feelings boost āpaying the devs for years of workā brought. $10 is a fair price for 10 weeks, so is whatever the elite pass was.
But Iām really disappointed to reach week 10 and find out thereās a new troop that takes 8 power orbs to craft just like Zuulāgoth. Iām supposed to feel victorious, like I got something on all those plebes who didnāt pay like meā¦ instead Iām slapped with another troop that makes me care about ascension orbs again.
My wife surprised me and bought the elite +. It was a situation where I had to say thank you, but was actually poād.
The rewards are trash. Gold keys and a cheese vault key for rewards after the Mythic? Then to find out Enraged Kurandara isā¦ To even have that troop as a brainstorm and think it should released is a joke, never mind actually releasing it.
This dev team doesnāt deserve my money. They donāt listen, they put in little effort with no creativity, and constantly release bugged content that they never fix. They have ājumped the shark.ā
I bought the Elite+ Pass.
Did I satisfied with Elite Pass rewards (10$)? Yes.
Did I satisfied with Elite+ Pass rewards (15$)? Absolutely not, they are trash.
Though, dishearteningly enough, it looks more and more like there is actually no one left to offer coffees to.
My opinion, if it wasnāt clear: I encourage you to to buy one if that amount of money is trivial for you and, in any case, just to support the game, not for its return of value (though it is arguably the best bang for your buck offer you will find in the store, IF going through Campaign Tasks is not bothersome for you).
Today, Iām feeling a bit enraged, but, if I try to see past thatā¦
Would I recommend the Elite+ pass? Not at this point in the campaign. For the next campaignā¦ eh, you can pass on it. I mean, I did like having things a bit early. An extra week of fully upgraded artifact wasnāt bad - it could make a difference in GW. The extra rewards I didnāt even notice, theyāre insignificant for where Iām at in the game currently. All in all, not an extra $15 of value IMO. I suppose itās something you might consider if itās the last days of the campaign, youāre behind on tasks and have no way of getting the last reward with it.
Would I recommend the Elite pass? This campaign, yes - $10 for a new mythic and a cosmetic mythic pet is a good deal. We donāt know what rewards future campaigns will have, so canāt say āget it every campaignā, but assuming similar reward structure, Iād say itās worth it. Itās not expensive, it helps with kingdom power and makes some other things a little less tedious.
