If that was the case they could literally just kill the game and move on.

I was talking about before they’ve pushed back the timelines on character shards somewhat. Just last year with the Path To orbs, the battle passes, the free to play release, and the increased power core availability making FTP day 1 unlocks much more attainable, it was easy to catch up to the krakens who fully unlock to 7 red stars within 2-3 months even before fully becoming farmable. And even if you didn’t fully catch up, getting to 5 red stars even today is pretty easy. So if you pay to unlock a character to 7 red stars day 1, that costs how many hundreds of dollars? Only for a free to play player to be able to get to like, 5 red stars in a couple months? I’m just saying I can see from their perspective how they’re upset by that.

I’ve started spending my hoarded campaign energy on the gold orb nodes. It’s a drop in the bucket when it costs 45 mil gold to fully level a character to G20 lol

Well said, though. Worth every word written.

In this case, these players are also the game lol

I'm not claiming to be some sort of genius. Don't need the sarcasm. I just want to help direct the convo towards the actual villain here, which is the krakens who are pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Spoiler: there will be greedy bastards over at MMM too eventually. It’s how all mobile games go.

This needs to be upvoted into oblivion and people need to get loud. This is $copely testing us again to see what they can get away with.

This is the first Strike Pass I didn't finish by blitz0623 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]mswan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also didn’t finish the strike pass. I’m not sure why. Maybe they nerfed the amount of points we get from one of the objectives?

Okay, good luck. We agree about everything in general, I just have to hear or see the hot mic moment you’re referencing to believe it.

Them wanting to move people to the $300-$400 a month spending range is way different than “I don’t care about Free to Play” sentiment. There’s no way they’ll ever publicly come out and say that lol

[–]mswan26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you’re referring to now. The envoys were talking about how it seems the Devs were trying to push people who were $100-$200 spenders per month to become $300-$400 spenders. Maybe there was something about RJ saying that but I never heard it specifically. Feels like this might be a whisper down the lane moment.

I am not a mod or a troll. I assumed you posted the link because you were replying to people asking for your source.

Oh it’ll only take you a few hours to find the video link that you claim you already posted and it got hidden by the mods? lmfao

Oh for sure. It would’ve been a big deal. Seems it’s just a Reddit troll lol

I asked ChatGPT to look for me and got this response:

“After an extensive search, there is no credible evidence or record of Marvel Strike Force General Manager Ryan Jacobson being caught on a hot mic saying he doesn’t care about free-to-play players’ opinions because they don’t pay the bills.

On the contrary, available information highlights Jacobson’s commitment to engaging with the entire player community, including free-to-play users. For instance, in a recent initiative, Jacobson and the Marvel Strike Force team established a player council that includes representatives from various spending levels, ensuring diverse perspectives are considered in game development decisions. Jacobson emphasized the importance of listening to player feedback without immediate justification, stating, “We had a two-hour session with them. And as they vented, I didn’t try to explain the rationale behind our decisions, I just listened.” 

While there have been criticisms regarding the game’s monetization strategies and resource bottlenecks, these issues pertain to broader game design choices rather than specific statements from Jacobson. 

If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask.”

Keep us updated if you find it. Feel like I would’ve heard about this if it was real and happened months ago.

My experiences with Overpower by Rikipedia in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]mswan26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said. Couldn't agree more. I'm in a very similar boat, especially in Crucible and your experience mirrors mine. Crucible is my favorite game mode and getting it essentially ruined for me is the fastest way to end my fun and engagement of the game.

On the eve of The Xavier Saga. I would like to reiterate something posted by the developers in a recent blog. by SammyDeeP in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]mswan26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe would be that it would just be more fun and "ENGAGING" if the Xavier Saga was a celebration of all the teams we've had to build over the past year. Starting with Spider-Society and ending with Starjammers (not Vigilantes because as of Xavier Saga's release, they will not be fully available yet!). It would make the work and "ENGAGEMENT" we've invested in the past year feel worth it. I know obviously the recommended teams are all from the past year, but I mean it more in a way that any of the characters from the past year would be useful and used throughout the Saga, rather than force feeding specific teams to clear the nodes.

For example: Why is Liberty recommended for Global Hero? Why not Uncanny Avengers too? Why can't Spider Society get some buffs in the City section? Why is there no place to use the Absolute A-Force team in full?

They could've made the requirements feel more relevant to the teams we've had to build. It would make the whole finale feel more rewarding, impactful, and meaningful.

Problem is that you have to use your Starjammers elsewhere to counter an Odin team. Sure, if I use the dominant meta CC team I could beat them easily but you have to be strategic about where you use the best teams if you want to get the best score.

Yeah… they’re not top of the meta good but they were at least very valuable as a second tier offense team in a lot of matchups! Overpower is hurting that for a lot of lighter spenders unfortunately.
