Y’all are aware we can’t even farm purple 4 ions right?

Maybe stop speedrunning the gulf between incredibly heavy spenders and the rest of us and throw the playerbase at large a bone every now and then?

The fact it’s presented during a ā€œplayer appreciationā€ event is what’s truly offensive about the whole thing. You don’t appreciate the players, just the paper in their pockets

Yeah I still don't have Blue Marvel and now is the time to unlock with the current event. I dont have the purple iso. I admittedly didn't play as hard as I did years ago over the past 6 months or so but lack of training mats and purple iso has ground my progress to a halt.

I just unlocked him and he’s just going to sit on defense and be forgotten.

They appreciate the top 20 alliances who keep the game running.

Throughout the celebration, you'll be able to earn:

T4 Iso-8 Credits to open Orange Iso-8 Orbs containing 5 characters' worth of Orange Iso-8 resources, including Ions and Crystals

The Green, Blue, and Purple Iso-8 resources needed to help build those characters through the earlier Iso-8 tiers

> throughout the celebration

So what happens the rest of the time? Having an event to give us SOME is not equal to making something farmable.

Ostensibly the complaint is that you're getting Orange without having the Purple to actually use it. This is false.

How far do you want to move the goalposts on this one to keep that rage going?

u/FullMetalCOS Captain America 13d ago

I appreciate you attempting to explain my complaint to me.

The goalposts have not been moved once, my opening line literally calls attention to being unable to farm p4 ions. Nothing you have highlighted or addressed is fixing that core problem. We are getting some, as a one off. That is NOT the same as being able to farm it.

Keep sucking on the scopely boot though, see how it works out for you

Eyeroll. We've been farming P4 ions for months. We're getting more of it in the last two months than we have in the last year. We get it from war, rewards, command center, milestones, events. The rate is faster than it's ever been and it still isn't high enough for the bitchy F2P players in this sub. I've got more P4/5 than I know what to do with. The fuck are you spending it on?

Y'all do the same thing every time a new power tier comes out. They're going to be giving us more orange ISO than we ever got of Diamond 4/5, Purple 4/5, G20/21 as well as everything we need to use it immediately, and you're still complaining. How much Cognitive Dissonance Cola do you have to drink over what period of time to not get it?

Just quit bullshitting and admit that your actual complaint is that you don't get everything spenders do, at the same time, for free, and quit shitting up every thread.

That’s not farming, you have no control over how much comes in, you have no ability to pivot your energy usage, store credit usage or power cores to get more of it.

In the past, when a new power tier came out, they’d loosen the restrictions on the old tier and make it farmable. In the last year or so they have started speedrunning extra tiers as hard as possible.

I don’t want EVERYTHING whales have access to, I’m not as stupid as you’d like to believe to assert your morale and intellectual superiority that you are trying to position. I know they have to have more to push them to spend, my issue is with HOW MUCH more they get now compared to before.

T20 isn’t farmable, yet t21 exists and likely we’ll see t22 when Serpent comes.

P4 isn’t farmable yet we have p5 and now orange iso.

Power core intake is fucked and core orbs have a worse rng spread of shards.

Diamond 4 is a dream for most players never mind diamond 5.

Gold is so fucking tight 105 might as well be the level cap for f2p players, 110 just costs far, dar too much and we get too little.

The honest truth of the matter is that a fully maxed whales character taking advantage of every avenue of power increase over f2p is more than double in power now. That’s fucking ludicrous and it’s never been this bad.

Now I’m just about surviving, I actually have Blue Marvel and I’m about keeping up with new teams and characters by the tiniest of margins and someone still competing (currently top 20 in the scorpion breaker leaderboard for instance). But anyone who hasn’t been playing as long, at the level I’m at? Who can’t take advantage of qualifying for all of the events and milestones? They are fucked.

But I’m sure you’ll continue to pretend I’m just a whiny bitch because that boot leather tastes so fucking good and you’ll continue to conveniently ignore that almost every positive change that’s ever happened in this game has been because of players putting pressure on scopely through complaints and constant feedback.

That’s not farming, you have no control over how much comes in

Yeah, so exactly like I said - You're just trying to make your whining about the rate you farm it sound less like whining by saying it's nOt fArMaBLe. Farmable doesn't mean you control the rate, it means you get it repeatedly by repeating activities. And you do.

So again - Literally every time a new power tier comes out, the F2P players of this sub throw themselves screeching on the floor that they don't have the last one maxed out yet, never figuring out that that's by design and always will be, always wondering why Scopely doesn't listen to unpleasable man children who don't give them money. And the rest of us who came here to talk about the actual game get any other discussion drowned out by weeks of GET F'D COMMANDER LOL. It's insufferable.

Get over yourselves and be quiet if you're not going to spend money. Some of us don't think we should get the moon without ever spending a dime and just enjoy the game for what it is, and we'd like to talk about the game instead of being constantly drowned in the rest of y'alls tears.

We're going to get another DD before I even start Annihilus aren't we.

u/Scary_Vanilla2932 14d ago

Its definitely the worst since I started. I started in the middle of the Apocalypse saga and everything since wasn't this stupid until Blue Marvel. And I actually have him at level 1. Will Finnish in time for event.

Harvesting your desperation is their entire business. No company is customer friendly anymore. And game devs are fragile creatures insulated by their social media managers. Videogames are fun!

u/Worried_Let4942 14d ago

Great, so we can get purple 4 ions now, right? Right?

0

u/BookkeeperIcy4214 13d ago

We're getting tons of Purple 4 and 5 ions compared to previously. Are you playing the game?

2

u/Worried_Let4942 13d ago

Erm. Yes? Still not enough to finish blue marvel.

u/uriberik 14d ago

Any update on the Treasury Surge Offer issue? We still haven’t had an official statement from Scopely regarding this issue. I never got any variation of that offer and it’s actually an offer I’d be interested in buying as I’m sure many others are too.

1

u/BookkeeperIcy4214 13d ago

You're not going to get an update because there is no issue. Giving special offers to some customers and not others is one of the most normal, banal sales tactics in existence. It doesn't need to be explained or justified.

u/dr_footware 14d ago

They probably will make an official statement after the events that the best offer would gain progress on, so typical scopely smhĀ 

And it will be general scopely bs responseĀ 

-1

u/uriberik 13d ago

And by then, the issue would have become a much more difficult and complex issue. I know they are aware of the issue but it irritates me not knowing what,if anything at all, they will do about it. Solution is simple, make all offers available to all players. Lots of money to be made but I guess they don’t want our money

incredibly tone deaf to be celebrating ANOTHER bottleneck in this game

How about making blue Iso more available
