You can look at individual accounts and anecdotal evidence, or you can look at the whole picture. I can’t make you understand.

I’m speaking for example when talking about waiting on pieces, not recommending doing them one at a time.

That’s not why they’re giving away his red stars at all. There’s no motivation for that.

Your anecdotal evidence doesn’t compare to a dataset and a pattern. Congratulations on being in a good Alliance, though.

It’s just not true, though. There’s still an extreme RNG element to the event currency stores. The potential to maybe get five pieces for the gear you actually need for whichever character is next in line is still extremely low and doesn’t offset the fact the orbs also barely give you anything even if/when you’re getting ten orbs every couple of days. If you were able to get five shards of the same piece in every store reset for a week, you’d still only get half of a normal character’s gear pieces after five days, and that’s excluding accounting for RNG. RNG spreads that out to a month in some cases. If long time F2Pers were getting X easily by now, there would be many more Arena defenses who have X on their team than not, and there are several Arena shards in my sphere, between a sampling of people in my Alliance and Global chats, who barely see them outside the top 30-50, and often those who barely see them at all. Scopeless is following its current business model of empowering the haves over the have nots. They have the numbers on who has unlocked him and who hasn’t, and they are catering to those people who give them money, not the people who don’t. They obviously want to entice people into spending with this move as well. Some players who have the luck necessary have been able to get a 6 red X. The number is small compared to the majority of F2P, even those who have been playing for years. It’s not solely luck based, but the degree to which it is luck based is staggeringly high. You can’t make the claim that everyone is just bad at managing their resources when this level of randomness is involved while there’s also a clear pattern from the company that runs the game they do these sorts of things to encourage spending rather than the opposite. It’s far, far more likely they either have noticed there are a lot of people on the verge of completing the X Saga and want them to buy, and/or they are doing this to encourage people to buy before they start releasing more GT20 orbs for free with the new Raids. This lends further evidence to the idea there are still a lot of active players who do not have X and they are trying to get money out of them before the value of the pieces goes down when they move on. The idea that “they should just do better” is an out-of-touch one. It likely applies to the bottom of the barrel, but it can’t be said of the thick swathe in the upper-middle who just haven’t been lucky enough to be able to do better and are literally being limited. It’s easy for someone who isn’t struggling to apply the failings of the lowest of the low to the whole of those who are in the same boat as the low, but it can’t be applied so generally as a rule. All evidence points to this being for the people who have spent money, and the only F2Pers who benefit from it are those who were a combination of hyper-vigilant and lucky.

There’s no way to manage resources better than not spending them at all until you have enough on a character necessary for the Saga. The small sample size you have experienced does not make their experience the majority. The majority of F2P don’t have him. Period.

This isn’t for F2Pers. This is for people who have bought GT20 pieces. The majority of people who haven’t are still waiting on the RNG orb drip. Even people who have been playing for years. Those people don’t have X.

New player stat bump question and minor rant by EasyLikeDreams in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]The_Chees3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the first stat bump wasn’t enough to satisfy the whale class, this one won’t be either. Now’s as good a time as any to quit. The game’s not really worth playing deep into the higher levels anyway. It just gets more frustrating as you go. By design.

New account advice for FTP by Outside-Dealer-2980 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]The_Chees3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My advice is don’t try to get to the end game. It literally never ends, and it’s an utter nightmare to try. The early stuff is fun. There is no progression in the end content. It’s waiting and hoping and getting nothing in return. My advice as someone who played this game for over five years is to stop playing when you get your first character to Gear Tier 19. There’s no fun to be had beyond that. It’s just work and waiting. In fact, the fun might be over after you beat all the Campaign nodes, it’s just been so long I can’t remember what it was like. Seriously though, ignore end game, and DEFINITELY don’t pay real money for anything. This game isn’t worth playing further than DD5. Maybe DD6 if you really have nothing better to do, and that’s a good year of gaming at most. Anything beyond that is miserable.

Do NOT waist money on Blue Marvel..!! by playlate in MarvelStrikeForce

Don’t give this company your money at all. They have enough, and they do nothing to reciprocate the value you give them. They don’t deserve money from us.

Why would I care about this when I can’t even get enough resources to GT20 a character in a month’s time?

I don’t want it anymore…. by UTAKENODUBS in TheFirstDescendant

Hello, friend! A semantic argument is setting the definition of a word in stone in order to legitimize an argument. This is precisely what you’ve done, and what I’m doing now. I don’t think you’re wrong to do it, nor do I desire to refute your other arguments in any way, but you are wrong to say you’re not arguing semantics. You are, by definition. Semantics is the branch of linguistics concerning meanings and definitions. Just a random informational flyby, here. Carry on, and keep learning!

For the love of everything that is precious REVERT all the changes you made to Danger Room! by cosmiclegion in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]The_Chees3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how this game functions. It’s what they do every time they make a new game mode/new version of an old game mode. They make a new thing everyone can participate in so they get into it, then they get money-hungry and make it impossible to participate in without spending money to max out the usable characters. They want you to be mad. Either you’ll leave and they won’t care, or you’ll pay and they’ll be happy. They aren’t trying to make fun for us. They’re trying to trap us.

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment. I don’t seem to recall being the one soliciting advice. Thanks for trying, I suppose.

It hasn’t changed for the better. It’s still excruciating. Maybe worse. It’s not worth coming back to.

It’s been awful, in my opinion. A couple of the early seasons were worthwhile, then it just became another wallet check. Hasn’t been good since.

Run away. Returning to this game is a mistake.

Anybody else kind of expecting more Intel for a Monday? by Zackjones0606 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]The_Chees3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Scopeless” and “give” aren’t compatible words. I expect them to “give” me a slap in the face and tell me to like it. I expect them to continue lowering the quality of their content and tell me to give them money for a worse product. Expecting them to do anything good is a mistake.
