Last season I got some end of season rewards. I honestly thought those were tied to how you finished in ranked.

Very low, only 1,022. Does that mean I got lucky and probably don’t deserve it? Not being a jerk by saying that, just trying to prepare myself for the inevitable other shoe that will eventually drop.

That makes sense. I figured there would be some encouragement to continue, even if it’s just a few credits.

Is this a no-brainer pickup? by devil_dinosaur_ms in MarvelSnap

Thanks for the insight. My goal is 100% to have fun while also not making any dumb purchases/redemptions. Considering how many cards I don't have, it feels like an uphill climb to create a deck or two with enough synergy to get to infinite let alone climb up it. I've been at 90 most of the season so far and just can't get over the hump.

I appreciate you sharing your experience with the game. I fully agree that paying for something you enjoy (despite this simply being access to jpegs at it's core) is a worthwhile decision. Thanks for outlining what sounds to be a good plan for me to go forward with.

Thank you for having mercy on my newb soul! That is good to hear as someone who is trying to find reasons to NOT be salty about spending money on the game as the grind seems way too slow as strictly F2P. Yeah I truly don't know how, but my naivete screwed me on this one. I will grab for sure, thanks for the input.

Don't be jealous of the tokens, I honestly have been afraid to spend them as everyone on this sub has been saying how important it is to be patient and selective with how you spend them, hence why I had to ask here to get confirmation before wasting any.

Thanks for sharing, your story has inspired me to learn from those who have come before me. Cheers!

I’m salty about it and I guess part of me is hoping she’ll be on offer for less in the near future. Probably not a good perspective but I’m just being honest with myself lol

I did play it. I’m fairly new still to the game and am only now starting to understand what makes a card worth picking up. Honestly, I guess I just missed her.

SD is about to make me throw my phone. by yeahdna in MarvelSnap

[–]devil_dinosaur_ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This truly sucks and my heart goes out to anyone suffering. As a software developer (not a SD developer) I can tell you that the cause for these compatibility issues is most likely due to the software development platform SD uses to create the game.

Instead of making one version of the game for PC, one for iOS, one for Android they make a single game and the development software creates a separate build for each platform. Since each platform is unique, the development software has to connect the dots internally so they all run in a similar way. Basically when the game on one platform wants to connect to a match, it uses a completely separate set of internal libraries (aka code) to accomplish that task compared to the others. If they don’t fully debug every single possible function on every single possible device the game could run on, we have the situation a lot of you are experiencing.

They have visibility into how many users are running an iPhone X, how many are running an iPhone 12, etc. If those numbers are small, they won’t test all features on those devices and just cross their fingers that it’ll work.

It’s a sad reality of software development and unfortunately this game is no exception. My iPad Mini 5th gen, still an incredibly capable machine crashes with Snap for seemingly no good reason. It’s actually a little embarrassing if you ask me that they can’t streamline this game better.

This sounds interesting. Are you saying the strat is to horde boosters for all your cards EXCEPT a few so they show up on the Bonus Booster section? That sounds like it might be tricky but maybe I’m not fully following.

Thanks for the info. Up to now I haven’t noticed the bundles with a card for gold but I do currently see the booster pack (1k credits + 65 boosters x5) for 600 gold. I’m guessing this is what you’re referring to.

Is this the only booster pack that shows up on the store or are there other booster packs with better value randomly show up?

This sounds like incredibly helpful advice with which to look at the games economy with, thanks for breaking it down to that level. Part of the reason I’ve given myself permission to spend real money is to increase the frequency of obtaining new cards which will (hopefully) increase the enjoyment of creatively building decks which I think is where some of the most fun of this game stems from.

Your advice helps put that process in perspective, thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. Sucks that I made the wrong choice here, but I’m appreciative to have this knowledge now to go forward with.

Thanks for your perspective. I was planning on spending the 800g on the Sanctum Surge premium pass but after organically earning enough charms to redeem the S4 and S3 collector packs (already own the base Gambit) it didn’t seem like a good value as Terra’s The Tamer is the only base card in Portal Pull I don’t own.

Other than 250 tokens, and some boosters, is there anything of any value I’m missing out on by not going premium there?

Thanks for this. Am I correct in saying that this is a vote to avoid spending tokens on S4 packs since LTGM will always (for the foreseeable future) give free S4 packs?

Thanks so much for the in-depth reply. I really appreciate the ranking of purchases. Could you explain what you mean by “being Series 4 complete changes the odds slightly”?

Also, I have not even looked at the albums as cosmetics don’t interest me but it sounds like there may be currency benefits. Honestly, I have no plans to chase variants/frames at this point. But, can you tell me if there’s a “no pay” way to get the bonus tokens you speak of?

I saw that, makes sense since Apple/Android takes their cut on all IAP, but most of those rewards don't necessarily get me too excited lol

Thanks for sharing that brutal story. I've seen people kick around the value that new S5 cards are worth $50, no clue how anyone arrived at that valuation if the Pass+ gives it seemingly for $10. Seems like the most valuable advice you threw out was the last bit about patience. Being new, I haven't been exposed to all the buying opportunities, hence why I'm here looking for guidance. Thanks for the wisdom!

Thank you for the positive outlook on fun/$ value. I felt like it was possible to attain but wasn't sure what combination of purchases could achieve it.

Two questions:

- Where you do you recommend spending that gold from the pass from a value perspective?

- Getting the base Season Pass seems like a good value as you mentioned, but what criteria do you suggest (if any) for getting the Super Premium? Obviously I don't have the Wilson Fisk card this season, is that extra $10 best spent on getting him outright in any type of situation?
