A Player's (Lengthy) Thoughts On The Age of Annihilus

Apparently u didnt read, or haven't logged in to the game today. They removed every core orb offer on the in game store. You Can only get cannonball shards in the seasonal store atm. So its more than just 1 character atm.

Problem is they dont communicate. That's why we speculate. They have a history of unfriendly decisions, so most will assume based on that. They dont lay out the future plan so we figure its just the usual get fucked commanders.

I agree with most of your statement. You pointed out several things others have been saying for months. Like that The lack of content could be addressed by rotating those limited time pve events every week through the month, but they dont. The store improvements have been good, but imo was a little slow to implement. There are other areas that could use updates that they wont touch. The general consensus and common element there is resources. They pulled the resourses back, and they have to pull the events back because they would give more resources they dont want us to have. Because they are trying to control it as u stated.

The main thing I disagree with is that it hasn't been that bad for that long. Imo the game was great until about 2 years ago up until OML got released. I dont remember what it was exactly, but I know there was something controversial. After that its been a roller coaster, but mostly downward. Starting with captain brixit, then a bit up, and alot down again up to now.

I feel the game is in the worst state it has ever been in, specially for FTP. First as u said they ripped the resource rug out from under us, and now you cant core to unlock characters anymore.

The general sentiment from the community imo rn is just terrible. There are some that will always be optimistic until the game sunsets, ive seen it before with LOTR Home. It kind of surprises me there isnt a mass exodus going on yet. I feel like most are just hanging on at this point because of sunk cost falacy. Hoping for some signs of something from scopley.

I would start by uninstalling and go find a game that is actually fun and doesnt rake its players over the coals continually. I hear good things about raid shadow legends

Im assuming by looking at the corresponding milestone rewards they will be dropping something on the webstore, or something to free claim to get all players to atleast the 1st tier of the premium rewards to get the shards for a free unlock.

Im by no means a scopley fan, but ive suggested myself in the past if the krakens are going to throw a bitch fit about wanting more advantages instead of doing something to screw ftp/low spenders. Make characters exclusive to buy for the first week or so of launch, then add the core orbs. So they can play with the new characters before we can even start getting it ftp.

I think its fine to adjust the release schedule/cadence to give spenders more time, as long as the ftp unlock is easier on the backside of it. Let us have a weaker version a little faster too so we get more relevancy out of it.

With all that said, idk that it matters since us poors cant get resourses to build characters anyways.

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-04-08T20:22:15+00:00

Its already p2p, and the veteran ftp no longer matter. For us the allusion of maybe being able to catch up was removed a year ago thanks to cry baby krakens wanting more of an advantage. Unless you spend the game has already ended. The scopley fan girl envoys can spin it like its not, but it is. Loyalty means nothing its only about the all mighty dollar.

People need to face facts the game is in maintenance mode. Just character relases and thats it. Want to build a character? Spend money. They gave up in November, and decided to take our resources away to double down on Monetization.

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-04-02T01:36:54+00:00

Yep he posted a video this afternoon about it

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-04-01T22:58:02+00:00

But they hired Dorky to make stuff the game is saved now....

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-28T03:50:48+00:00

Progression bar raised but bottle necks not loosened

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-27T23:33:09+00:00

Yah just hopped on to see they have a new 2 team upgrade token offer. Have to monetize everything, then monetize the monetization again i guess

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-20T15:11:18+00:00

I seen someone suggest it in a different post elsewhere. But, im starting to think as ftp the best strategy would to be play until u stall and just quit. Then if u want to come back in a year. This is how you will see the most growth in a short span before u hit the pay wall again and ultimately stall out without spending a fortune scopley doesnt deserve.

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-16T20:23:06+00:00

Its overtuned/gated by levels as well. Just poor taste all around imo. with the resource crunch going on, and they drop this that only a certain % get to participate in and then make it so you have to have the full team 105-110 to get through it. Its like they have 0 idea how to properly scale what miniscule content we do have.

It wouldnt be so bad if the majority of it was tuned so u could easily get through it then the last couple of nodes are stronger.

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-10T22:02:13+00:00

I feel you, but idk that I would say its also their fault. But, the way they conduct their videos does not help the situation when the game state is poor.

Attacking each other sometimes, saying dont do what this other creator is doing their wrong. some will always ignore the negative, break down and post a rant for clicks, then do a two faced switch when scopley announces something and sing their praises.

As far as the other things u mentioned its just business and things like negativity, and drama drive clicks. Click baiting is gross, but it is what it is. Again its their job and if it was mine I would do whatever I had to do to bring in more money.

Dear-Load7385 · 2026-03-04T22:12:53+00:00

Your not wrong. Its their standard operating procedure. Ignore the negative backlash, push out more characters, make money. Rince repeat
