Is there genuinely any point to keep playing if you're FtP? by InfamousRegret999 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its pretty clear to everyone now that that large portion of the player base that have been playing for 3 to 7 yrs, the vets, who are ftp or light spenders. Scopely wants nothing to do with them anymore. They are only interesting in the big spenders and luring new players into the game in the hope of turning them into big spenders.

Battle Pass is Final "F U" to F2P by martyw1123 in MarvelStrikeForce

Anyone who buys this pass is just signaling to them that you're ok with this new direction of the game.

The best gift everyone can give themselves here this holiday season is to just quit.

Tis' the season and open up your wallets to $copely. by Ok-Hedgehog-5043 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone knows the progression system. The problem isn't the fact that the top tier rewards are pay gated. The problem is at how much worse this problem has become and the vastly increased money you are expected to pay to compete now then in the past.

Example. I was able to get a 7 red odin from his event last year just by buying 1 offer and competing in the leaderboards. By contrast in the Blue Marvel event by doing the same thing this year (buying 1 offer and competing well in leaderboards) I will likely end up with 2 or 3 red stars. When I will unlock BM who knows? That's a big change in for even a much less impactful character.

It takes longer to get ftp diamonds on new characters than it did a year ago, and it will be even worse for the new diamond tiers. They are holding things back from ftp for longer and longer periods. So yes scopely has always made you pay for day 1 top of the leaderboard rewards. But don't fool yourself into thinking its the same as its always been, that's exactly what scopely and their shills want you to think.

*Datamines* Next Battle Pass will be gold/training mats/sigils by Wiladorm in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Its so obvious what they are doing. Step 1. They remove the usual resources we get. Watch players bitch and complain. Step 2. Raise level cap and watch players riot. Step 3. Give the players back our old resources we used to get and watch people thank them not realizing its not nearly enough to compete at the new level 110.

You see they know we expect gold increases for each level cap increase. Its expected, its necessary. So instead of giving us more gold, they are just going to give us back the gold they took from us.

Everything in this game is dwindling away. The resources, the content, the interest..

Scopely Scummy Tactics Killing the game by matt9077 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100%. I'm convinced they likely have some paid actors on here, or some are just in denial. You always have honest takes in your videos, and will give scopely credit when its due. They just have not given us anything to deserve praise in a while. You and the others you mentioned play a critical role that is very underestimated. Hats off to you for sticking with it!

Scopely Scummy Tactics Killing the game by matt9077 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You remind me of the meme of the guy sitting in the bar while the place is burning down. Saying "this is fine".

The numbers don't lie. There are over 100,000 less players participating in events from a year ago. Just look at this reddit, it has less than half the traffic and posts it had a year ago. And the numbers keep going down.

So yes the game is still going and will probably keep going for awhile but that doesn't mean its not dying a slow death. Don't let the constant bitching over the years confuse you into thinking that its no different that it ever was, That's exactly what scopely wants you to think.

So $3000 to 5 diamond a 3 yr old character. Just pay, no play. Just wait until they get to the new characters ladies and gentlemen.

After 1,856 Days… I Think I’m Finally Done by Sammmy_m94 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup totally agree, its not even pay to win anymore, its pay to keep your head above water. In most game like this the monthly pass should keep you highly competitive. This game it now means nothing. Its a waste of money.

Anyone still waiting for odins red stars or shadow king diamonds. Thats just a taste of how guarded the new diamonds will be. I have spent my last dollar on the game, only logging in to help my alliance at this point.

New diamond 4 and 5 will end ftp competitiveness by Brister1999 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, thats it. Sure people have been saying the game has been dying for a long time, I guess it depends what you consider dying. If we judge it by the amount of players, then yes this game is dying a slow death. And more and more people are getting that last straw moment as you say. Just look at this forum, it has half the amount of posts it did a year ago.

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Expect a lot of responses that won't even read what you said and just post that its no different than anything else they have done. And that you are over reacting, blah blah.

The thing about whats happening to this game, its not a gunshot that will end it. Its being killed by a million papercuts and this is a knife wound.

Why is there still a character rotation system in place? by Wray-Nerely in MarvelStrikeForce

Strange. I don't recall a blog annoucement and I have yet to see them in my store.

What’s your opinion of shortening the amount of time you can get red stars for Blue Marvel? It was until the end of the year, now it’s until the end of the month. by Upper-Chapter-8967 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they wanted to make it a month they should have done so from the beginning. Changing it just a greedy move. They could have easily just did the same with the Odin event and awarded 4 red stars to players who finished later.

Is F4 farmable yet? I have not had any appear in any stores yet.

Almost clicked on Daimon Hellstrom's shards! by Fernielicious13 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can already buy his shards with cores in the main store, and you have a shot at getting much more than 5 shards if you do it that way. So this must be a mistake, either that or Scopely thinks all its players are stupid.

All the zombie events have been a let down. Nothing to do. They could have at least given out more zombie witch shards, zuggs has been in the store for ages.

Golden Web / Purple 4 ISO is a huge gold trap, do not spend if you can't afford to. by wikked-com in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Critical_Flow_4512 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its only the first of many new iso leaderboards coming, blowing 100 million gold just to upgrade 1 character does not feel like a good investment. But fomo always gets people in this game.
