I'm quickly reaching my point of no return from this game. I love the game and have spent a lot of money on it. There have been so many mistakes made since launch -- and the game, I fear, is very near it's own point of no return.
A quick look at the forum and anyone will notice a disturbing trend: 1 game-related post for every 100 regarding player frustrations in one way or another. It's sad. I wanted this forum to be a cool place to go to find neat things game-related and learn from fellow players. It is now a site to report bugs and such (this post included).
A list of bad moves on the part of the devs:
* They removed 3* evo shard drops completely in a "hotfix" 3 days before update. Those not frustrated by bugs now had a new frustration.
* They released an update, only to find it was full of new bugs, so they delayed the release. Meanwhile, they didn't add back the 3* evo shard drops. They could've very easily with another "hotfix" until the update was ready. Player frustration reaches a new level.
* They nerf several characters that didn't need to be nerfed and talismans that people had spent time and money working on. Player frustration increases even more.
* They will not answer tickets filed weeks ago. Players now feel ignored.
* The trooper badge store has bugs and it is the ONLY way to get skill shards. Instead of fixing it, they slap players in the face with an alternative fix: pay $50 and you can get 3 skill shards!
* They drop the sands of time maximum to 80. They say that was what they intended from day 1, but the timing couldn't have been worse. Players are already frustrated with bugs, and now have to deal with nerf after nerf unecessarily.
* The missions all drop a lot less than they used to. Not just 3* evo shards. For example, I filled my sands of time 4 times yesterday between leveling up and purchasing with ironite and between Underworld madness and battlefield madness I got a total of 4 green 3*evo runes. This is pathetic. If I played normally, this means that even after 4 days I wouldn't be able to 5* 1 green talisman. The grind has slowed to snail pace.
I don't see a reason to play until the update. I can't get materials I need from grinding, I don't need trooper points because the store is broken anyway, and the grind is just tedious with no reward.
If the update doesn't come soon, I fear I will join the many who have left for greener pastures. It is unfortunate, because with good content constantly introduced I could see myself spending at minimum $100 per month on this game without hesitation. Heck, I have spent over $1k on Marvel Future Fight because of devs constantly rewarding players when they had bugs and they released great content month after month. I Left that game for this one. Maybe I made a mistake. Please turn things around. I want to continue to be a LOTB player and support you guys. Right now I can't possibly justify even playing for free.
