1x summons versus 10x summons

@Gryphonknight

@zephyr1

100 Atlantis Coins = 300 Gems (I’m less generous, I compare to a 10-pull, not Singles). So I treat the Coins as 900 Gems. That’s $4.50.

I value them at 350x gems specifically because they are not a 10x summons.

I can save 200x gems by doing 8x 1x summons instead of 1x 10x summons.

Since I usually do 3x to 6x summons per limited time summons, being able to do a 1x summons saves me 900x to 1950x gems per limited times summons.

Marketing

Rewards seem targeted at C2P users and also users targeting specific reward brackets.

By using daily reveals, pressure is placed on players targeting specific reward brackets to purchase each offer to improve their rewards bracket or stay in their original bracket.

Also each offer is staying below the $20.00 USD cut off for many causal mobile users, but still allowing them to pick their favorite offer.

The Tabbed challenge event offer ( currently on offer 3 ), seems to be designed to please all non F2P users and apply maximum pressure to purchase without being an actual hard sell ( technically pop ups are not a hard sell no matter that they can feel that way).

Interactive tabs encourage interacting with offer instead of just ignoring the banner.

Wonder if we’ll see somethin similar in atlantis…

Infeel.thst they are trying to find the a range that f2p/c2p simply cant resist all of to make sure they maximizing profits with co tinue cash flow versus random purchase frenzies. A f2p who is only 300 gems away from that long awaited ten pull should be more apt to spend 2.99 than 20. I mean that’s cheaper than a lunch at Wendy’s which is already cheap at $5. There had to be a spending range that everyone will.gind fairness in and one easy way is to have whole bunch of really cheap offers all the time. 200 people by 99.99 deal great but 200k people buy the 2.99 deal. Now we talking.

New Challenge Event Offers Discussion (January 2020)

There’s a new Challenge Event offer format, with new offers revealed over the course of the Event (prices in USD): [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] [image] As Challenge Events have had the same offer format of 5x 200 Gems for a long, long time, this is an interesting shift to add additional offers. Thoughts?
