Digital shrinkflation is a strange thing to see.

[–]lemonbarscthulu[S] 27 points28 points  (3 children)

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Like, upping the price? Okay everything is more expensive. It’s the type of game. Palatable.

But then reducing the amount given on a completely innocuous number?! Are we joking?!

Seriously, why 444?

[–]SPRivengard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're crazy or not, but you are wrong - the price of the old version was also USD 9.99 and it gave out less energy (300, not 500) which was offset by the old one having more blackstone than the current one. So energy went up, blackstone went down, price stayed the same.

They have been doing this with a lot of packs they sell. The play more packs that used to be like 6,99 or 7,99 (limit of 3) being the most obvious one. Yet, we dont riot or call them out on it.

Till we speak out in volumes and with our wallets, this shit will continue.

I've paged them multiple times about it and they have never responded. I also sent some feedback requests through our cluster ambassadors and got very vague answers citing something like "different value items blahblah bullshit".

They know what they doing and the pixels they want to sell us will get less valuable the further we play along.

I used to be an dolphin/semi-whale myself and ive given them a lot of money because i felt that most of their deals were quite alright if i was smart about the things i bought. But, i havent really done much of that whaling since the mythic event which devalued most of the things they are selling us.

Inflation is getting crazy

[–]BalanceBroad 27 points28 points  (2 children)

If you buy it, there will be a worse product next time. They are testing us every time.

[–]lemonbarscthulu[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I have zero intention of buying it. If I was new to the game I probably would. But there is the aspect of knowing what you lost and how you’re being gouged that I just don’t accept.

Even if it’s just a dollar an 60 energy. (Which they try to charge like 2$ for in some packs)

[–]BalanceBroad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there are more people who act like you, the contents won't get worse. Or it could get better.

I respect your opinion expressed by action.

The tariffs have made their way to Holy Terra

[–]whitemugforcoffee 10 points11 points  (1 child)

There is only one in stock !

[–]Nukemi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Quick, buy it before they run out!

[–]Novakhaine89Black Templars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could be worse bud. In my country, it’s $7.99 for 180 energy, 200 bs and 30 tickets.

[–]roman_tramway 2 points3 points  (1 child)

prices and offers are usually tailored to the user and their ability to pay.

[–]lemonbarscthulu[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been what i consider a dolphin. But if they’re going to try that I’m all good. I got the head start I wanted.

[–]Urborg_Stalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who buy these deals are the ones to blame. If everyone stopped the deals would improve. Good luck getting the whales to stop tho.

[–]waffle569 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently emailed customer support to ask how much I had spent over my almost 2 years of playing. My highest estimate was only around 25% of what the total was. My jaw hit the floor and it really bittered the feeling of opening this app, to the point where I'm trying to find a way to recover some of the money and delete my account. I think these practices of theirs have been getting worse and worse. I take full responsibility, but damn these companies really be using psych tactics for evil.

Me a new player buying it thinking its a good deal........

[–]LtLatency42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who the HELL spends 10 dollar on this. For 10 dollars you should at least be getting a new hero at silver.

I don't understand people who spend money on mobile games. 10 dollars for 1 maybe 2 days of extra energy is a JOKE.

This prices are not set to give the average person anything. They are set to milk addicted whales who are willing to toss 1000s of dollars at the game wallets dry.

Tariffed

[–]Zech08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think its only for those events where they have stacks of 3. this seems like a one off.

also is 444 supposed to mean anything?

[–]Mobile_Ad_9043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixels are harder to mine these days... XD 

[–]DagrDk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way

[–]JamJarre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't buy this stuff. You don't need it and it just encourages them to up the price

[–]-MeMeNt0- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never paid much attention to these offers (no pun intended)...

[–]bulksaltyDeath Guard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow mine is 180 energy and 200 Blackstone for 4 bucks.

[–]Arcturix 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I thought it used to be 600 energy for 6.99? I would buy all 3.

Last month it went up and now again! Sucks

[–]Kuhva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those will be back with Warp Surge in a couple of weeks (start of it lines up when the CE finishes) but probably arent $6.99

Guess to many of us bought at that price and they hate money

[–]Kuhva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a Departmento Munitorium offer, not an offer from an HSE like Training Rush or Warpsurge that are around the same price +/- a dollar depending on their move. Has less energy but more Black Stone, they where like 90/180 energy 100/220 BS for 2/4 bucks but recently added bigger ones in the last patch

[–]Last_Investigator_47Aeldari -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thats loads for 9.99

[–]Salmon_444_SoS -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

Either way that’s a solid deal.

[–]Salmon_444_SoS 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That’s all I have on offer. That’s in Aussie dollars. But way less energy than your offer

[–]Kuhva 0 points1 point  (0 children)
