So is this doubling the price for the same pack gonna be something that lasts the whole new year?

Great start to 2021 CG!!!

Sincerely,

    Well, aside from the price increase, I prefer them being on crystals, that way I can consider acquiring them in a F2P matter instead 🤷🏻‍♂️

    A small silver lining to a blatant loss of pack value

    4.99 pack vs a free pack with 2-3 days of in game currency...... the free one seems like a better value to me, not a loss in value.

    ...no not really. It is literally a better deal, as anyone can get it for free.

    OK, let’s just get down to it since you seem to be so persistent – speaking “literally” for real this time:

    You stated an opinion, not a fact, so you shouldn’t use the word “literally“. What you are “literally” doing is arguing the meaning of the word “value”, which is semantics 😘. Finished being cheeky — my opinion is that the value of the pack is less because you get less for more. Done

    One cost real money, with no other way to get it.

    One can be purchased with an in game currency, that can be earned daily for free.

    Those are facts. Those facts make it a better deal, that is not an opinion.

    A better deal, because it is accessible to more players without using any real money in the game.

    You are judging this by being purchased by real money, which is fine, but not the only way to buy the second pack.

    I still disagree and consider the pack of less value (there’s that semantics thing again 😘). I overtly stated this is my “opinion”, a word you clearly do not understand along with a few others (literally and semantics). Try your hardest to understand the word “done“ this time. Done!!!

    This is clearly a matter of perspective... related to an opinion.

    If I was f2p, maybe kyno's explanation makes sense. However... for all the people who are not f2p, this is a slap in the face and double the price, almost making it a barely worthy deal. It used to be a worthwhile pack. Is the goal with this pack to help f2p players? If that's the case, you're way off because they don't waste their crystals on lower level gear like this anyway.

    If the pack is for whales who are just trying to save a couple bucks from buying the pieces straight out, then again, the value system is way out as most of them by their crystals.

    Kyno, aren't you a moderator? Are you a f2p player and don't even support the game you work for?

    *off, not out
    *buy, not by

    Are you wanting to discourage whales from buying things? Because it's working with this kind of M.O.

    Lastly, how many f2p players can make 1200 crystals in a few days? Most i know are in the 200-500 range at best in arena.
  • Options
    2-3 days of in game currency would only be possible for top 20 payouts in both fleet and arena. This would take most f2p more than a week, and they'd likely rather get the specific piece they need.

    Low level gear? Kyros? Carbantis? Stun cuffs? Stun guns? Gold eyeballs? lol, just, lol

    And sadly yes, not a lot of us can make that amount of crystals in a few days, but there are, and for example in my case, I got to buy one, I get to earn 1,200 crystals in 2-3 days indeed, I get top 5 on fleet arena, and that's everything I need to earn a good amount of crystals, but at the end I'm F2P

    Now, the best scenario is obviously a good value pack which you can pay off on crystals, but hey, I'll take it as it is rn

    It is technically possible for a f2p player to get 1000+ crystals per day.
