Official word on iOS/android differences?

Noci

This is the first game I've played that treated different groups of users differently. For example, some groups received the 21 day sub offer, some the 7 day, and some none at all. Just recently only the android users received the offer for the starter pack while iOS received nothing.

Has CG/EA stated why these differences exist? Can we expect this trend to continue? My fear is that different groups will get advantages over other groups without any real reason.

Forgot to mention Poe on iOS and pharma on android

It's a common practice for CG/EA. They always favour one over the other, in HoDA it was iOS with exclusive free characters and good deals. In this game it seems android is flavour of the year. And yes you can expect the trend to continue.

It seems pretty unprofessional and has completely soured me on what's otherwise a decent game.

It's only a matter of time until a platform is offered something like 70 fotp's, 70 Maul shards and 15 Vader shards on the cheap while the other is left in the cold.

There really should have been more of an uproar from iOS users after the end of year pack. The end game meta is about turn meter control and the clone seargent is probably the best controller in the game.

If you thought clone sergeant was awesome at turn meter control, you haven't met my good friend Stormtrooper Han.

I'm a big fan of Han also. It's just that there's a configuration using CS that lets your entire team take 2 turns before all but the fastest characters on your opponent's side take one.

I had no idea. That's sad to hear. Not that I wanted the starter pack, but going forward, I'd hate for anyone to be left out of anything. If there was a reason for it, e.g., Apple gave all users 500 gems for Christmas, or Google offered a discount on a pack, then that's fine. But to not be even offered a pack or subscription is kinda lame

I think theres not more ios outcry because most of us arent aware of the differences. I had no idea until today.

@Sparsile, what's that config about? Can you share a bit more of it? Hints? Lol

We iOS users are pretty much getting used to it, there is not much thing we can do.

P.S.:You forgot the Samsung Pack aswell

Noci

I would be okay with the Samsung pack if Samsung paid for that promotion. It's when CG/EA randomly decides to get certain people certain benefits/options.

Yeah but IOS got the limited Leai & Qui Bundle & crystal pack with purchase of the IPad Pro/Air2/6S+ That was right before Christmas so it's kind of fair. They really should have ran it longer than a week though.

Noci

Still looking for an answer, EA/CG!

There was a samsung phone made as a galaxy of heroes collectorish item...which explains that pack.
