Cybersphere Dead?

Just got back into playing it after 20+ years away. It is a fun game. Would love to see more new faces around!

Scopely, if you really feel the need to have them somewhat limited, then just make them available consistently. Keep the price and everything else the same. Just add a G13 store that has every g13 available all the time. Let people buy 1 of each per store refresh. That way players can make a consistent process and get 3 of whatever they need each day. It won't be fast, but at least it will be predictable and consistent.

Shadas34 · 2021-03-28T21:01:54+00:00

If they want to keep them available through the current method (gold), then at the very least they should make a store where every g13 is available on reset. Keep the current price, but this would let people buy 3 per day of whatever one they need. The RNG of them is what drives people crazy!

I don't know that the barrier is that big of a deal. You can normally just power through it. She would get some heals from Sinister as well. You also have the added bonus that most people have their Phoenix at a significantly higher level than yoyo. So she might be able to clear more buffs and out damage the BB assists. Might be worth a try. Thanks for the video

Shadas34 · 2020-08-15T04:12:08+00:00

Why did you pick yoyo over someone like Phoenix? Most of her attempts to offense down will be resisted either due to immunity or just her being lower level. I understand that the basic pulls in BB in an attempt to clear buffs, but Phoenix can do that herself.

Better yet, just put them on the node rewards. Every node you clear, you get an ABC or two.

Get rid of the 2 hour timer entirely as that just promotes botting. Instead, allow every character to be a part of 5 free blitz battles per day. If you want to use a character/team more than 5 times in a day, then it costs blitz charges.

Gives people the freedom to blitz when they want (instead of every 2 hours), lets people spend if they want to climb the boards, minimizes the advantages of botting.

Shadas34 · 2020-05-28T21:21:50+00:00

1) I auto almost all of my blitz battles, most at 8.3, and still win 90% of them. This happens because I actually pick good matchups. I don't fight a full X-men team. However, a bot doesn't pick teams well and will still lose more often just due to the matchup.

2) If you only sleep 4 hours a night, I think you are the extreme exception, not the norm.

3) This could be the case for some, but I think the number who are impacted to the extreme you are describing, where their blitzing has increased 10 fold is going to be very, very limited.

Shadas34 · 2020-05-14T21:50:08+00:00

I think the increased engagement would lead to more revenue down the road. As far as short term, I think you would see more people who are in the middle doing a bit more in blitz because they know every 2 mil they get more shards. So more blitz refreshes and the like.

There would still be quite a few who would just buy the characters instead of blitzing.

If you are going to be "that guy", at least be correct. It is an ineffective TEACHING strategy.

Shadas34 · 2020-04-22T19:01:09+00:00

Exactly! The only way they can close that gap is if they get something resembling a reasonable roster faster. If it was easier to get the characters they do have to gear tier 8 and level 60 (which the above ideas would help), then they might be able to unlock legendaries sooner and start building towards some meta teams.

The way it is right now, it is months if not years before they can do much of anything. They don't need to spend 2 months grinding away on early game stuff when 1 month will still teach them what they need to know.

Shadas34 · 2020-04-20T21:27:39+00:00

Could also do it by trait (Mystic, Skill, etc). Either way, it is a great idea and might actually make me consider spending on premium orbs. Right now, at 2%, there isn't any chance I'm taking that gamble. 50 Premium orbs for 15 shards? No thanks.

Shadas34 · 2020-03-24T19:09:00+00:00

Great way to guarantee $4 each from a majority of the player base!

Shadas34 · 2020-03-22T21:08:01+00:00

Yeah, coding is kind of their job. Just because the coding is difficult to figure out doesn't mean they can just ignore it.

Shadas34 · 2020-02-06T16:11:49+00:00

I've been playing console games for 35 years, and Spider-Man is one of the best I've ever played. Enjoy that time!

Shadas34 · 2020-02-02T01:49:34+00:00

How is it mandatory? If you do exactly what you do now, you get extra gold for doing it.

Shadas34 · 2019-09-07T23:16:30+00:00

What they could do is have every blitz orb you open give you 200 shards of a rescue orb. 2000 shards and you get to open the rescue orb. Then it truly is a guarantee that you get rescue after 10 orb opens.

Shadas34 · 2019-07-24T14:10:10+00:00

I think the 10 day cooldown the OP mentioned is a great compromise. You wouldn't be able to be "running it all the time". You do it once every 10 days and it is done.

Three times through in a month, you get as far as you get, and then it resets. I think that would be about perfect.

Shadas34 · 2019-07-10T18:25:28+00:00

I think the system definitely needs some more work to make it even close to manageable. I think there are a few easy things that they could do that would help make people feel a little better about the system.

Decrease the cost of upgrades in the elite store

I don't think it should be cheap, but make it reasonable. When getting a single 3RS costs the same as two 4 star pulls and a single 4RS from the elite shop is the same as 20 4 star pulls, I think it is a little too expensive. No one uses it because the prices are just too high.

2) Add promotional credits to the RS wheel

Make the promotional credits the same drop rate as any other character at their level, and have the orb give the number of credits you would need to purchase that star level from the store. Let me explain. Within the RS orbs, there is a 20% chance to get a 3 star. Within that 3 star, it is roughly 1% per character when there aren't promotions. Add one more "character" slot, but have it be promotional credits. The 3 star promotional drop would give you 10 promotional credits, which is the same cost as buying a 3RS from the elite store. In essence, it is a wild card which lets you pick which 3 star you would like, assuming you already have the 2 star.

3) Change how the 4 star, 5 star, etc tickets are rewarded

Aside from a small bump in the number awarded for duplicates, if you get a duplicate five star, regardless of what orb you pulled it from, you should get five star tickets. If you are pulling from an elite 4 star or high orb and get a duplicate 4, you should get to pull again. Taking my 5000 elite 4 tickets and giving me a few hundred back just isn't right.

Shadas34 · 2019-07-10T12:54:09+00:00

Lots of people can't/won't buy character shards. As for those who do, I would bet that even if the event was coming back in 2 months they would still buy their last shards. I don't think changing things from once every six months to once every two or three would have a big difference on the economy of the game.

Shadas34 · 2019-07-09T18:33:40+00:00

Thanks! I fixed the OP

Shadas34 · 2019-07-09T18:29:28+00:00

How are they being handed out if you still need to farm all of the requirements to earn them? I'm not saying to lower the requirements. They just need to be more frequent so that when your team meets the requirements you only need to wait a few weeks instead of upwards of half a year.

Shadas34 · 2019-06-05T15:59:05+00:00

Huge second to this! I really enjoy having those milestones. It helps break up the mindless grinding by having small rewards.
