2 weeks later. Not in an alliance.
I think the only reason why some alliances or people doesnât like mercs because the difficulty to find a new member or some mercs only want some rare titans.
Whatâs the purpose of the game? Itâs for fun and release stress from real life. Cheers
I got np with mercs. We just donât have a use for em in our alliance. Other Crew-'s do use mercs from time to time tho
Weâll all get there at some point one way or the other
@zephyr1 @littleKAF if i merc must i stay in the alliance until titan dies to score a titan kill on valor??
Yes, you must be present for the Titan dying, and have hit at least once.
another question⌠if i have hit titan in my alliance then go merc if i get back be4 titan dies will i still get that credit also or will i need a new hit??
Iâm not sure, actually, but you could also just merc and hit, wait for it to die, and then return home and hit, and wait for it to die â and avoid any complexity about whether hits from before mercing will count.
so i would guess hit mine 1 time after getting back just to be safe
QUESTION:
If we request a merc and they overstay their welcome after the titan is long dead, Iâm wondering if they still get their titan loot in the event we have to kick them (in case they get caught in our war matching, for instance).
Iâm going to be very grateful for any mercing help with the upcoming 6 star titan requirement for PoV and Iâd hate to rip a player off for their already reduced rewards.
If a merc is booted AFTER the titan is dead and everyone receives their loot, when said merc logs in heâll still get his.
I emphasized AFTER because if booted before death, even if merc returns, he will not.
Not sure if you ever got your answer, but just in case:
If you are not present during the duration of a titan (from first hit until itâs death) you will not get loot. Even if you leave and return before it dies. Your name legit disappears from the list of hitters on that titan the moment you depart.
TGW, miracles happen - I agree with you !
22 months laterâŚ
No matter. Your crew won. Youâve successfully managed to drive away the vast majority of the disgruntled low income riffraff who got tired of paying $100 every month for new heroes. So, congratulations! Iâm sure the game and the forum will be vastly more successful and entertaining without us.
Enjoy your limit breaking overpowered champagne filled Season 5 Superhero Ninja Mutant Cowboy Aliens, and all the other assorted exciting ridiculousness that this game will have to offer at grossly overinflated prices!
TGW, thatâs just silly. All I did was saying that I agreed with you on mercing.
But hey, you obviously prefer to throw accusations at meâŚall the things I wanted and achieved. Yes, I like the game as it is with regular events. Why donât you tell me what you want:. Back to the way it was 2 years ago? Season 1 and 2 and thatâs all? Well, if thatâs what you want, you can have it. Just ignore anything post Season 1 or 2 or wherever you like to be stuck in time. Ah, but thatâs not what you want, cause you want to be in the top 100 too. Well, thatâs just not possible. Then you have to pay a bit. Just like in real life. So create your own game!
Lastly, whatâs that about limit break? Comes up once a month. Same for everyone. You create problems where there are none. Btw, well written! Just like your short stories.
I have zero desire to be in top 100. I barely even play this game anymore. I like games that I pay for one time, and get to play and advance as much as I want, without spending obscene amounts of money.
And I actually have created my own games. They are mostly short, but 100% free to play. When I create bigger versions of them, Iâll probably sell them for $1 per copy. Because mobile games are not worth hundreds of dollars, not even the best games. And no one will ever have an advantage over someone else for spending in my games.
âJust like real lifeâ - games arenât supposed to be about real life. They never were. They are supposed to be the exact opposite of real life.
You are still stuck on this âpay a bitâ thing, thinking that $100 a month is reasonable for one mobile game. Itâs not. It never was.
And yes, I would like to go back to Season 1 and 2, at least until I have all of those heroes. I canât âignoreâ anything beyond that without warring and raiding against 4800 TP teams. Pay hundreds of dollars just to stay competitive? That is pay to win, you do understand that, donât you?
Feel free to enjoy being in top 100 and pretend like itâs worth the price to stay there. If thatâs what you wish to spend your money on.
Oh, and, limit breakers will get monetized, like everything else in this game. Only a matter of time.
I really liked the concept of this game when I downloaded it, I liked it enough that I was willing to spend some money on it. But I spent what I felt was a fair price for a game like this, and I didnât get even a tiny fraction of the heroes in the game. There is no way to grind for them, you have to buy them, and they donât even have set prices⌠you could get the one you want for $20, or it could cost you thousands of dollars.
Thatâs absolutely absurd to any rational person. But in the mind of a gambler, itâs perfectly fine. Itâs all about that rush. Thatâs what youâre paying for. A short lived adrenaline / endorphin rush. And youâre paying way too much for it. There are many far less expensive ways to âget your kicksâ, including many that actually guarantee that youâre going to get what youâre paying for.
TGW I tried most of the things that give you a rush, and they are a lot more expensive than this game, but the high is better, so I assure you, I am not paying for that in this game. It would be nice if you stopped making assumptions about my motives. I play solely because I like this game, and I find that itâs a fair price considering the time I spent playing. If I went to a pub/club Iâd spent that much in a few evenings or maybe only in one depending on what kind of place it is - and that I canât afford.
Anyway, good to hear you found new games and are even developing one yourself. This is the kind of outcome I was hoping for when I replied to one of your posts for the first time. You seem to be in a much better place mentally, so carry on with what youâre doing.
Thank you for that, and I didnât mean to suggest that you were chasing a rush, nor do I recommend doing so. Price wise, this game does not give me the value I expect for the money. I have games that I spent far less than $100 on that have given me much more enjoyment than this one. If you like it, and you can afford it and think itâs a good value, more power to you.
I donât care for the gacha model, I think itâs a ripoff, and I think it deceives many people who get hooked on the game and just want to get better, no matter the cost. You clearly know what youâre doing, and youâre staying within your budget, so thereâs no reason for me to preach to you. Itâs your life and your money. Iâm just vocalizing my own opinions regarding video game pricing and lootboxes. Video games to me are meant to be an escape from âreal lifeâ, an affordable form of entertainment where you can do things you canât do in reality, and where your success is based on effort and skill, not luck and income level. Clearly, this game is mostly the latter.
I hope you continue to enjoy it. Though I wonât lie, I also hope that others who didnât realize what kind of trap they were walking into, realize it and stop throwing good money after bad. Games donât have to operate this way, or be this expensive in order to be profitable. I tried in vain to get them to change, so that the game could continue to be fun for players like me, but they chose their path and theyâre sticking to it. Why wouldnât they, after all? Running a casino is far more profitable and far less work than actual game development.
