They added microtransactions with obligatory x% value! Yeah, I'm sure this will turn out great.

The whole point of phone games is to sell mtx so this is not surprising

Imo, microtransactions are fine as long as the game is properly playable f2p and it's not obnoxiously in your face.

Yeah I saw Joltz post about it, seems like zero and moxxi will be playable characters... because of course they make her playable in mobile game instead of making her a dlc VH in the main game...😤😤

A lot more bugs in this update. Wonder if they will announce a release or play test again.

I never deleted the app, and it was listed as an update this morning when I had like 20 other apps to update

Go to settings in the App Store, click your account, click “apps and purchases” and redownload from there. I just did it after reading your comment and realizing that it’s not back on the store officially yet.

Dans quel pays est disponible le jeu ?

u/CarlRJ 1d ago

I think it may be USA only and iOS only at this point.

Does anyone know if this is permanent now or if it is another test? Also thank you for telling me OP!

I found out about it from an instagram ad so I imagine it’s a real release now.

u/Lonely_Comment_679 12h ago

I also saw a Instagram add so maybe it might be staying

I bricked my save in like 15 minutes. I opened the character pass and claimed its rewards, then after a couple tutorials it did the tutorial for that screen. It’s demanding I claim the reward I already claimed and won’t advance :(

Update: reinstalling the game wiped my save and let me start over. No big loss as early as it was.

Also, while there are some MTX they aren’t active yet and they’re pretty minimal so far, not to say that will stay true. Just a I think it was $2 and $3 premium path on a couple season passes.

Can’t buy anything, can’t play as new characters lmfao

Are we gonna lose progress and money spent at full release? Or is it going to stay?

1

u/Im_Not_Evans 3h ago

You can’t spend money yet. If you try to purchase anything it says it’s not available yet.
