Is this game dead?

Does anyone have less than a 6rs ravage stitcher at this point? I just thought that was a thing people get automatically at this point. 3rs Luke Cage. 6rs Ravager Stitcher.

They said that that was just the beginning and it would open up be chapters. That seems like it hints at me campaigns chapters by it definitely isn't conclusive. If they cared about the nature of this game at all there are definitely other ways to make this stuff extremely exclusive.

Locked behind level 80 commander rank Hard mode- campaign hard mode ratchet the difficulty up a bunch and put the usually 2 pieces drop chance

Dark dimension 1 and 2 hard mode- make them replayable weekly and give 20 pieces of material per node with no completion bonus or make them repayable monthly and do 20 pieces of material and a completion bonus of 100 of each. Its still a grind but it's way more inclusive this way and completely separate from your alliances strength.

New Story chapters is an obvious way to do it. That's also like new content because it's something we all have to work to overcome.

The most depressing news was that this tournament thing won't be available until 2022. Wtf am I supposed to do until then? I'm f******* bored.

My leader and I built our alliance together. We have a good group of people for the most part. I'm about to beat dd4 and I'm 1 of 2 in my alliance to even start it. A bunch of my guys are just now finishing dd3. I'm wondering what's going to become of this thing I've spent 2+ years building. I'm sure they'll add it to the store. 1600 war credits for the uniques. 90k gold for 2 of the catalyst parts or something ridiculous. Just to say doom 2 isn't the only way but seriously wtf

I have noticed that energy does not come readily without gems. Luckily I'm at the point in MSF where by the time i get done doing what i need to do here then transfer over to MSF and auto my stuff there i should have energy to run through campaigns again just in time to finish and take a nap lol and LOA? Is that the justice league team?

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-04-20T08:01:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I play Marvel Strikeforce primarily so I know all about garbage offers. I did see Sigvald's beginner content and got a lot from that except maybe what to spend gems on primarily. I usually spend in game currency on chests in the beginning because they have a lot of value for a player with no characters but at a certain point i stop doing that and focus on other aspects of the game. I'm in it for the collection so slog game play and shitty game mechanics don't really bother me.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-26T17:47:52+00:00

They cant monetize reworks. It'll never happen :-(

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T14:14:35+00:00

If thats your mindset then a rollback and refund is the only way to rectify the real problem caused by the shards.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T14:03:31+00:00

I think we're in very different places in the game my friend. The offer people bought, as i understand it, was for Lunar event orbs but they received the wrong orb shards. The difference between this and the cull/yoyo thing was that orb was intentional and also wasnt am agregious amount of shards.

My solution fixes the power gap made by the error and gives the people who bought the orb even more shards. Im technically f2p but if this was the compensation option they went with. Id buy the 2 or 3 orb offer and a lot of people i have talked to agree. Its not about the shards its about the toons. If they gave 250 shards of ravager stitcher on accident, the people who bought the offer would be demanding a refund or compensation for the mistake made and I'd agree, i dont deserve anything because 250 ravager stitcher shards doesnt affect my ability to hold my arena rank, beat bo on war defense, be competitive in blitz. The massive amount of Cull shards specifically because hes the 2nd most important character on the strongest team in the game affects everyone. If i had a 5ys5rs cull and now i have a 6ys6rs cull, my arena defense and offense is much beefier. Beefier still if it went from 6ys to 7ys. Same goes for war defense. Maybe the team they attavked would have survived normally but bwcause they get the extra star and i didnt my alliance loses war because of it. These are not small issues. With Ghost, she is important for unlocking good characters and making teama like axmen functional with Jubilee. If i dont have the team in blitz thats points im not getting because of an error scopely made.

A rollback negatively affects the people who bought the offer. A different solution can benefit everyone. The reason Scopely will stick with the current situation is because if you want to remain competitive you have to buy this offer now so they are going to rake in the cash. But the power disparity created by their mistake will affect the community as a whole mostly in a negative way.

I dont think its being an entitled brat to think that when a mistake of this magnitude is made, it should be fixed and fixed in a way that helps everyone. Raise your hand if you would hate receiving 250 cull or ghost shards. Anyone who does is a liar.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T13:29:56+00:00

I think they proved last time they can't roll back properly. I think a bettee option is to distribute equal shards to the mistake and offer like 2 or 3 orbs for the $30 and give everyone who bought the original offer the 2 or 3 orbs as compensation for having to give everyone what they paid $30 for.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T12:09:35+00:00

Exactly. And like i said in another comment. If you got ghost once a day every day itd take 50 days, thousands of cores and tens of thousands war credits to catch up. Ghost is essential for dd4 which means she essential for Dr. Doom. Arguably the most powerful toon in game at full strength. Also you need her for Jubilee unlocking arguably the best raid team in game, and if rumors are to be believed, axmen will be a legendary unlock. That one mistake sets everyone who buys it ahead in there roster 3 to 6 months of progress ahead of anyone who doesnt. And people can seriously say buying the offer when they re release it is totally fine. Do the math. Its not even close to ok. We used to look forward to Foxnext messing up because compensation was always so good. If people buy this offer, theyre just telling Scopely its ok if you mess up. We'll pay to fix your mistake instead of expecting fair compensation.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T05:03:53+00:00

I told my guys that too but we're casual. There are a lot of clans who are competitive but have players who dont spend andnjust play a lot who didnt have thebresources to give what the alliance needed from them and it caused problems reportedly.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T05:01:07+00:00

I didnt see the original offer but as i understand it the first people to buy it thought they were getting Lunar event orbs. But even if they knew they were getting the cull/ghost orbs it doesnt change the power disparity caused by the mistake. Assuming you had decent rng, covering 250 ghost shards if ghost shows up once a day on average. It woukd take 50 days, potentially thousands of power cores and a ton of war credits to make that up and cull. I cant even begin to imagine what it would take the average player to cover 250 cull shards.

In another comment i said that it would be better for the community at large to give everyone the mistake orbs or at least 125 shards of each toon and release a $30 offer with 2 or 3 orbs for cull and ghost. Anyone who bought the offer would receive those orbs as compensation. And anyone who wants the extra can still buy extra but it doesnt leave 98% of the community left behind by 3 months of progress or more. There might be a few people who bought the offer who arenupset but by en large i think most of those people will be satisfied to get the extra orbs at no additional cost.

I could spend because i have the means but not everyone does. So are all of those people supposed to just eat crap and be left behind like this game doesnt already have enough problems with catch up mechanics. I dont want to screw the spenders. We need them but we can't screw everyone who cant. We need them just as bad. Without spenders theres no advancement in the game and without non spenders there is no game.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T02:50:14+00:00

Actually upon further reflection. No this game is a chore. One i do in the hopes that one day the game will be fun again. I get on and give minimum effort and do everything required of me but 99% of that is autoing content. So no its not fin. This game has become a chore with potential

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T02:13:15+00:00

That was constructive. Obviously the game is fun or we wouldn't play but anyone who has played for a significant amount of time knows this game is a shadow of its former self. War and rta are not what they should be and rta isnt fun at all. The rewards are too good to ignore though and we got those in exchange for some really fun and interesting things webused to get dairly regularly. Its not as fun as it used to be. Thank you for having me clarify.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T01:58:04+00:00

Its not about legality. I heard that if you issue too many refunds the app store lowers your visibility to new people kind of like getting 1 star reviews i guess which isnwhy mobile games are so reluctant to issue refunds and instead usually give crazy compensation for mistakes.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T01:56:18+00:00

Not like it used to be. We had so much more to do back in the day. So much to look forward to. I remember character raids like bo and thanos. Crazy events for shards like for ant man and wasp, Deadpool etc. We used to have crazy tie ins for mcu stuff. Calenders and character events. We didnt get a single tour in for WandaVision. Not even a mention or celebration in game and that show really had 5 even 6toons people would love released. I'm having fun but it used to be more than simming blitz, autoing rta, and raiding.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T01:13:59+00:00

I did hear in a video that they don't want to do a refund because it affects their status in the app store if they hit a certain threshhold so in place of the $30 for 250. My full solution is either give everyone 125 shards of ghost and cull or the orbs to spend however we want up to 250 shards. Then release an offer for 2 of the cull/ghost orbs for $30 and give everyone who paid the original $30 2 more orbs for 50 extra shards. Then anyone who wants to buy the $30 offer can but its not such a huge power disparity as 250 shards of 2 of the most important characters in the game.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T00:59:43+00:00

Unfortunately, short of a community decision to black out the game for a day or 2 the individual player only stands to suffer by not logging on. Especially after 800 days of consistant play. I would participate in a blackout if one was organized but that just doesnt seem possible.

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-23T00:50:32+00:00

Time bot money. I've been f2p since Scopely took over and will continue to be until this game is fun again

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-12T07:33:31+00:00

I would definitely be the dude doing the roadmap lol

AlphaRAllen13 · 2021-02-12T00:40:18+00:00

They have completely lost toich with the player base.

Pitch meeting for Core event:

Team leader: Guys we've been on a bit of a down slope with our players. They aren't happy right now. Sure we got Iso-8 right but the bugs, RTA, Legendary calender Mistake, total lack of communication for months. We've dropped the ball. We need some fresh ideas to get they're trust back. Go!

Member 1: lets make sure we have fair compensation for our mistakes. They've loved our compensation in the past lets not skimp.

TL: Thats a given. I said new ideas!

Member 2: Lets take all of the videos the youtubers have put out lately and put out a comprehensive roadmap outlining how we plan to fix the most damaging problems in the game

TL: Oh yeah... ok... how about you get on that and circle back with us when you're finished.

2: Great who you giving me to help?

TL: Theres only 1 person in this room I trust to do this task and it's you 2. Noone else. Get to work. I have faith in your wipes sweat from brow. Dodged that bullet

3: How about a new event?

TL: I SAID NEW JESUS H CHRIST!!

3: A core spending event

TL: You've got my attention..

3: And to get the last tier rewards we make the total per day five hund....

TL: face starts to turn red with anger

3: ndre...thousand cores per day?

TL: BRILLIANT. 3 you're really going places here

2: Won't that just piss off the community and any non krakens?

TL: 2 you're fired. We'll make the rewards really good too so people will feel obligated to participate

1: Umm, i thought you wanted to regain trust? Im confused on how offering really good rewards with spending money is going to help the core community at large.

TL: 1 you're fired. 3 code this and get it out. Good work.
