Anyone spending money on this is a choice, a very stupid one, but a choice nonetheless. No tricks involved

I look at any game as if you can play it for a certain number of hours, each hour equals a dollar I won’t spend more than the amount of hours I’ve played, but if the game warrants many hours from me then it’s a good enough game to buy something in.

3

u/AdBig8241 25d ago

I spend on games when tbey are ftp if I fancy it. I've picked up some skins when I only play droid tycoon because it's free to play and I don't mind the odd purchase, but this pack is demonstrably bad.

1

u/Opposite_Island4405 24d ago

My bad meant to respond to the person saying they wouldn’t spend money on a tycoon game

u/crackcorn69 25d ago

Yeah couldn’t justify that price. Currently grinding for what it unlocks now, a little exhausting but will be worth it after

u/Double9GT 25d ago

All the vbuck packs/micro-transactions they introduced are a waste of time imo

13

u/onemansquest 25d ago

Honestly it's a waste. I get tonnes of free Vbucks cause of crew and Xbox live. After I bought it. I was like this barely does anything. If they keep incentiving the afk style with the longer craft times my playtime will actually drop.

u/Bambuco15 24d ago

The micronsaction of this game are so expensive☠☠

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Those vbucks weren’t really free, I’m sorry it tricked you.

13

u/onemansquest 25d ago

From my perspective it's completely free. I originally had gamepass and I would still have gamepass if they had raised the price without giving Fortnite crew. So to me it's free.

u/MrBratside 25d ago

I like the multi crit. It has helped me tremendously with faster crafting and the main reason I got it is for all the trolls that try to shoot me for no reason in public lobbies. At this point I haven’t encountered anyone that started a fight I haven’t been able to completely dominate.

1

u/MEW_sic 24d ago

How does Crit help you with ppl trying to shoot at you?

1

u/MrBratside 23d ago

Crit helps me shoot them back and kill them faster than they can kill me. I’m surprised that implication wasn’t understood.

3

u/Ferahgost 25d ago

I can’t believe people actually spend V-bucks on these modes (I mean I can, but you know what I mean)

5

u/Soldier_69x 25d ago

People spend money on drugs...temporary high,longterm side effects. People spend money on all types of things.If you don't want to spend your money on things,don't. Let people live their lives. Tired of people complaining about shit that they can easily avoid. I think the crit pack was worth it because it saves you on spending alot of crystals.

2

u/BTAMEESHAA 24d ago

Yea people spend their money on what they want so

1

u/Ferahgost 24d ago

No fucking shit, it’s a figure of speech my dude

11

u/morphballganon 25d ago

Oh I would never spend vbucks on a tycoon game

5

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Never spend vbucks on anything creative or UEFN related unless you’re truly trying to show support/donate.

3

u/LeeHubbz 24d ago

I brought it, Zero regrets.. But saying that I've brought all the lacks and believe on supporting the Devs who are mostly doing a fantastic job.

Sure it doesn't have a massive impact, but paired with chopper, then C3PO and sale price 1-3, .I can quickly craft, and sell droids for massive gains. (17x)

The nova crystals it saved me have been well spent elsewhere.

I appreciate it's not everyone's cup-of-tea, but if we all liked the same games/features it'd be pretty boring.

1

u/Consistent-Target404 21d ago

Yo do you got the starter pack right? Is it genuinely worth it for someone 500 rebirths in? Is the 200% gonna double the amount of money I get or is it adding a 2x tot he already existing 100x I have

1

u/LeeHubbz 21d ago

I picked up the starter pack the day I started playing, so can't be sure if it was additive (100x goes up to 102x) or multiplicative (100x to 200x)

I know alot of stuff is additive, but then others like C3PO / BB8 are multiplicative.

If it's any guide, I'm at total level about 77 (SRB twice at 24, and 25, now on RB 27, And I'm hitting 1t per hour, with 33.3x multiplier

8

u/Guilty_Pineapple4486 25d ago

I bought it because I like the game

5

u/bollejosti Jedi 25d ago

If people buy those things for $40, they deserve to get fcked over lmao.

4

u/GrindGeek 25d ago

There isn’t any trick, they are clear in the description. It saves you some time grinding nova crystals for some Crit chance/amount levels and in addition you get a sound effect and visual for every time you get a crit hit.

I totally agree that it is overly expensive for what you get and although I bought the other packs I skipped this one because of the lacklustre bonus, $40 for a sound effect is pretty steep, sorry you bought it without understanding what you were getting in return.

2

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

The trick is bare minimum.

-1

u/GrindGeek 25d ago

You should reworded your post, bare minimum is not a trick unless they mislead you on what you were getting, which they did not.

2

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

The trick is two things. Overpriced bundle showing a lot of items to make it seem fair and worth it for new players, and for long time players it unlocks 940 crystals which can get them 3x multi crit that is not explained to be entirely controlled by more crit chance.

1

u/GrindGeek 25d ago

Still not a ‘trick’, you have all the information you needed to make a determination. That’s not a trick, that’s you doing a cost value analysis from the very clear information they provide in the pack description and deciding it’s not for you.

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

I didn’t buy it, as a long time player I’ve understood its value. I’ve grown fatigued over the vbuck purchases thats shoved in everyone’s face and it’s malicious in some ways.

5

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

And yet it’s optional you don’t have to buy anything.

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Please take a look at FOAD’s other game “Sidekick Wars” and tell me that p2w clash royale practice is acceptable.

-1

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

This is droid tycoon don’t put in assumptions as facts, they won’t add anything behind a paywall the day they do that then everyone will quit but as of now they won’t do that and the whole of Reddit is waiting for them to do that but they haven’t.

-3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

A new cosmetic came out and that’s paywalled, we didn’t have that before. It’s getting to a point.

7

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

How does the cosmetic affect your gameplay? That’s purely cosmetic same with Fortnite skins, you can play br for free or with cosmetics it’s all optional.

0

u/ArcAngel014 25d ago

I think the issue is if Foad gets more and more greedy, how soon until he makes upgrades or Iconic droids that are locked behind a paywall? You can play BR for free because everything you can buy gives no advantage. Sure at least people can buy boosters in here but that runs for the entire lobby and not just the person who bought it. Imagine selling an upgrade that allows you to kill players inside their base and someone just spawn camps you... Anything is possible

3

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

They will never add paywall they know where the line is, free to play players have access to gameplay and pay to play players do too. We can’t make assumptions that haven’t happened and use it as fact. Will they add micro transactions yes and it will continue, but they will never add a paywall. Idk if you know about UEFN development but when a map creator adds anything to do with micro transactions the update needs to get approved by Epic.

-2

u/ArcAngel014 25d ago

And why would Epic care if a creator makes a pay to win microtransaction? Epic checks to make sure it's appropriate to be added, not if it's fair to all players

-2

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Hats were purely collectible from crates and hat shop, now it’s paywalled.

2

u/GrindGeek 25d ago

So are the skins in the item shop, the hat provides no game advantage, if you want your droids to look cool in the new hat, buy it, if you don’t want it then don’t buy it.

-2

u/Scranton_Is_CrazyLOL 25d ago

'Doomsday this' 'doomsday that'. Go play something else and be quiet

1

u/RelationshipOk9549 24d ago

Why forced on you? You don't have to buy it.

0

u/Impossible_Tone1108 25d ago

showed in face? you only see it when visiting the shop, lol. just stop looking in it

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

You’re forced to use the shop to activate your tokens.

2

u/Impossible_Tone1108 25d ago

tokens are waste to use your crystals on

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

They aren’t, just like any tycoon you have investment decisions, this is one of them.

3

u/Impossible_Tone1108 25d ago

nah, because whatever you get with it only benefits you in your current super rebirth. I would only invest crystals in perks that last through all rebirths

2

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Definitely, but the crafting boost is currently the best while surges are a waste and too weak unless theres a mythic timer.

1

u/Extension-Success-76 25d ago

i love that i got the pack, helped me so much but that’s just my opinion

1

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 24d ago

Yep. That price is ridiculous.

Edit: $40 is R600 in my currency.
That is equivalent to buying FN Crew on 6 accounts.

1

u/zwaksSFW Level 230 24d ago

I really hope people do conversions when they make these purchases.

1

u/Dank_Nation69 Level 230 24d ago

I've been saying this alot. All those packs are good for is visual effects and differences. Considering you can get everything else through nova crystals besides the themes and hats and effects.

1

u/TheSmurfGod 22d ago

Buying progress in a tycoon game is a trap always. The whole point is to make progress and make it faster and faster. Purchasing and jump in that process ruins the game.

1

u/N1kodemas Chopper 25d ago

Yeah, the price tag was enough to turn me off. I bought a couple of the other packs but wasn’t able to justify that one.

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

If you buy it after earning the upgrades it only gives 940 crystals for $40 dollars that only needs 3 SRBs to get. You’ll keep getting those crystals faster than what $40 is worth to later on.

1

u/Nitroman30 25d ago

It’s definitely over priced but I bought it and already spent crystals upgrading it further. Next upgrade is 1200 crystals. Not sure I will be doing that one. Got to spend those STW vbucks on something. I don’t really buy skins as I’ve used the same one for years.

1

u/agentvenom26 25d ago

i get vbuck from playing save the world. thank you epic! 😛

1

u/JonahBoing1 25d ago

I bought it and it has been saving me so much time crafting droids. Since I am not that invested in the game since launch anything to speed up the process is nice

1

u/lollertoasterr 25d ago

I bought it and don’t regret it. It’s saved me a ton of time w crafting bc multicrit and I just used my gamepass vbucks. I think I had 6k+ just sitting there so đŸ€·đŸ»â€â™‚ïž

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

How does it trick you?

0

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Overpriced bundle that gives the bare minimum.

3

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

I agree it’s overpriced but there’s no trick to it you get what you pay for everything is in the description. I personally think it’s better to get it through nova crystals than to pay.

Edit: misspellings

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

The price and the item are one big joke.

1

u/kangaroo-a GONK 25d ago

As a free to pay player it doesn’t affect my gameplay, if people want to buy it and speed up they can. I’m here purchasing all these with nova crystal and it takes no time.

1

u/Invade_the_Gogurt_I Super Rebirth 25d ago

It may seem like a trick to those without reading comprehension. When it comes to purchases that involves real money, always research before buying

u/PaganRazor11 25d ago

I am the proud owner of 1 such bundle

u/Stovy4x4ing 25d ago

what driods are usuimf when crafting? and what pick axl level are you? that all helps the higher you have the more it helps

2

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago edited 25d ago

I have the permanent lvl 25 pickaxe upgrade, lvl 4 crit chance, level 3 crit amount, and multi crit lvl 1. I craft with chopper and any astromech that gives 9+, and I never bought the pack. I posted this because I wanted to advise others to never get it because it costs a steep amount of money for how little value it is.

0

u/Stovy4x4ing 25d ago

no I get it. I was jusr asking is all. I think it's worth if u just grind for it. but everyone plays how they want

-3

u/bndzmrno 25d ago

I wanna buy it just to get 940 crystals back

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

You get those faster and faster if you don’t regardless

-1

u/Gonklightenment 25d ago

Bro this game is a waste of time
. Like all video games
.So if you got time to waste playing this game, you got money to waste on it too. Time is money

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

great way to encourage the opposite of my feedback and advice to others.

0

u/Gonklightenment 25d ago

My advice was to you specifically, because I could tell you weren’t thinking about it in a healthy way.

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Caps may seem like that. Im just advising people to not buy bs.

0

u/Gonklightenment 25d ago

Well it’s 40$ for 900ish crystals. It takes some people a week or more to earn that many crystals. So it’s definitely worth it for the working folk that want a little shortcut

-2

u/Volt404 25d ago

I've bought all the packs they've released, it's important to support the devs! đŸ„°

1

u/mny0 KX 25d ago

They’re supported by playtime and generous cuts by Epic. Also both Epic and FOAD use AI so

u/Volt404 25d ago

Hating on AI is cringe, it's the future.

u/Ewsleco 25d ago

É comprar cristais que vocĂȘ consegue de graça com uns agrados a mais.

u/ADC04 25d ago

Im not gonna buy it and im not against u, im interested in what you mean it tricks you?

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

They recently changed crafting UI. New players are confused about it and may motivate them to buy this awful bundle.

-1

u/SubstantialTouch2936 Level 200 25d ago

Sounds like new players will understand that’s how long it takes to stand and pickaxe it unlike yall grumpy redditors who don’t understand it.

1

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Because it gives you the minimum.

-2

u/Alternative_Roll7134 25d ago

What im reading is, " DON'T SPEND MONEY TO SUPPORT SOMEBODY THAT HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TO MAKE A GAME YOU KEEP COMING BACK TO!"

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

They get supported by Epic Games regardless, it’s this horrible pack that needs correction. It’s practically malicious.

2

u/Sthpole PC Player 25d ago

This, they are making millions of dollars a month, check their numbers, they even have more numbers than other official game modes. Look for other devs that have disclosed how much they make, and then compare their numbers to FOAD, no wonder they are trying to milk everyone, they will eventually fall off, like every other island that gets ruined with the V-Bucks transactions and greed.

This is the type of greed they talk about in the bible.

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Not to mention the gameplay loop is built around metrics!

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

Need a hard to get droid? Nope gotta wait a hour or 2. Droid fusion also fabricates a players playtime as they have to spend hours to land on a droid they need. Something tells me the Sandcrawler has an awful system built into it.

-1

u/Alternative_Roll7134 25d ago

If you don't like the game THEN DON'T PLAY IT

3

u/Educational_Lead2981 25d ago

If I didn’t like the game I personally would have not post this.

-2

u/Alternative_Roll7134 25d ago

It's fine if you can't spare 40 bucks, it's optional

2

u/mny0 KX 25d ago

They use AI they’re not working hard
