That, but also unchecked power creep, insulting approach to introducing alpha aethers, and the exhausting tempo of new hero introduction.
Also the whole matter of blatantly ignoring beta tester feedback.
Agreed, so am I. Balance changes are definitely necessary, both buffs and nerfs, else the game is bound to become stale and fizzle out. No one’s getting refunded their life savings if the servers go offline in a year from now.
This all said, even if you didn’t intend it this way, the thread reads like:
#NoSpend: “Please do not spend until issues are dealt with.”
You: “Spending is better than ever now! Thanks, #NoSpend! ”
Great effin pull. At least I know that he’s not a glitch meant for everyone to pull and never get.
I may just try later I haven’t spent in a while. It is my birthday soon I should treat myself to a bit of joy or 1.6% chance of disappointment. It is what it has always been.
It’s baffling that SG dropped the covenant summons randomly without an introduction on the calendar.
SG, “oh ok I see you all don’t want to spend. You all haven’t gotten over the balance change yet? Ok so we’ll just release an insanely OP hero that no one is going to get since no one is spending?”
Let’s be honest here people are spending and those that are spending the most are those that are upset with other people that they’re spending their money how they want to spend their hard-earned money and it shouldn’t be a problem to anyone how someone else wants to spend their money because it doesn’t benefit you.
That was basically my rationale. “Eh, it’s been a while, let’s go waste some cash!” Also, Happy future birthday!
From what’s been said, Covenant quest and portal don’t have a set date so they won’t appear on Calendars.
Eh. It doesn’t matter who’s getting upset, it’s the fact anyone has the audacity to get upset and shame people for doing as they see fit with their own money. You don’t earn their money for them nor do you get to be upset how they choose to spend it. Everyone should focus on their own and that’s it. Don’t wanna spend? Good! Someone else wants to? Good! That’s all there is to it.
have I been tempted to spend my gems? yes, gems, (not cash). I’m not brave enough to test those odds though, and will wait until Summer Solstice… I’m very close to scraping together the 8400 gems needed for a 30-pull there (assuming they do not change it from last time). and at least no vanilla /S1 heroes…
hopefully SE runs around the same time, as I may need to free up some roster space too! (and am not confident I’ll get enough gems in time to expand my roster either)
