Agree with the above ideaā¦ why not adding old HoTMs like Hel (the 1st HoTM) elemental link? itāll make them again relevantā¦
Or giving balancing update for stats and skill of trashy heroes like Persius?
ah - I know!!! itāll not bring any $$$ in - so why bother
Costumes was a way (paying) to make interesting again the vanilla heroes, give a costume to the best (and rarest) heroes make the previous costume nonsense!
This could mark a good time to quit
I asked the Small Giant Staff if we could get information on what the game designersā plan is for Summoning or acquiring these new Costumes, and got a reply back:
This will āhelpā restrict access, but also means most folks wonāt donāt have much of a shot.
P2W will now pay to pull Finley in Pirates summons which will generate a lot of money. Then theyāll pay in Springvale. Then theyāll pay in ToL. From a financial decision, this will increase summoning in old portals and is probably good for their revenue, even if 10% of players quit. The whales pay the bills and there are plenty who will keep paying. My Mystic Vision money just isnāt that valuable.
Iām done with the game after this. Spent thousands over the years and seeing this fills me with regret in having done so. This will kill the game. S1 heroes needed boosting, but heroes that are already OP like Finley, Kilhare, etc. Just an absolute money grab.
Also play in a top 10-20 alliance, have over 60 max 5* heroās and will quit the game if this happens. Itās a joke that S1 heroās will effectively be getting backdoored already. Why buff the most powerful event heroās? Sargasso is crying out for a buff but no Finley the most powerful gets the costume buff. I am not paying twice to improve heroās who should be getting a regular buff. Also not to mention that I spend money getting other seasonal heroās to watch them get nerfed, hmm Frigg and Odin anyone.
I know why you would lead with this - Iāve seen some of the nonsense that gets directed the modsā way - but I think (hope) many of us realize that you all are probably our only hope of getting the message to SGG about just how bad this is. I mean, I was just trying to explain to my seven-year-old yesterday what it means to āoverplay your handā, and lo and behold, SGG gives a textbook example this morning. I canāt imagine any player being happy about this - big spenders, small spenders, F2P - who is this supposed to help, other than Zyngaās balance sheet? This feels a lot like killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and it makes me sad.
Not an exaggeration, Iām really nauseous to saw this announcement.
Money, money, money. SGG and Zynga are finally willing to steal us a lot of money and kill this game.
