change in boosts cost

Unknown

Everything reset for me as well, the only 230 fight I can find is the last fight of Family Reunion.

Personally I'm glad boosts are more expensive. I find that they trivialize the game, especially PVP. It's clear with the Thorverine changes that the devs are trying to slow the game down and make it more strategic, and nerfing boosts is completely in line with that philosophy. The change hurts me a lot, as I relied on boosts + Wolverine to blitz through Lightning Rounds, but I'm still glad that it happened.

No way I'm spending HP on boosts so I'm treating it like they removed the +3 all AP boost (unless it still drops in game and then it is for special occasions). Really poor timing to do this in the middle of an event that is way harder than they intended. Gosh forbid they do something to fix the enemy levels before they make it harder to beat. I've been boosting like crazy to get through these 230s and still getting wiped out on occasion with bad luck. Now it is going to be more expensive for less boost. thanks guys... I guess the good news is that if I slog through it there will be less competition but not sure I want to slog though it. Will have to see how hard it is with less AP to start off and no super charged Wolvie 3* .

EDIT - all my fights are still 230. Resetting them would have made all the difference. Oh well..

I don't get what the big deal is. +3 boosts were super op. I would of just removed them all together but if it makes a little money for d3 to have them in for hp then so be it.

The boost changes have completely ruined me in the PVE event. I can't compete against others who have paid a lot more then me.

And I've put in 25$ into the game. The 300 HP event without brackets or progressive awards that I went into stupidly robbed me and now this...

Can a player who hasn't updated the app continue to play events and pvp? Or is the update mandatory to play? If it isn't, then this is a huge issue about fair competition since for some players, boosts cost essentially nothing while for others it costs HP. Not to mention the new hero abilities.

This is becoming more and more an hybrid between a sick joke and a straight fraud.

Instead of providing real improvements, they try to grab as much money as they can before we all get fed up?
This really does not look like a good long-term plan.

Honestly, I'd rather they just remove it altogether. Charging HP for it is edging dangerously close to p2w territory

Boosts cost is a server patch, you can't avoid it.

I agree with you guys.

Either remove the 100 HP cost of the rainbow or just remove it from the game.

The game is already fairly pay 2 win. This is outright obvious P2W like Clash of clans or something.

But I'm thinking the Patch patch is part of the client update. Does that sound right?

Unknown

Well.. that explains that, I was looking at my HP and thought "Pretty sure I had more than that..."

That's extremely awkward.. I didn't even look when I just bought one, didn't see it on the patch notes.

Punishment for lack of awareness I suppose.

I dont know if any1 remembers me saying so but I got 1/2 my $$$$ refunded a while back because I was unhappy with changes. Haven't spent a dime since because I hadn't seen anything going in the right direction despite trying to stay positive. I was gonna spend like 10-$20 on Thursday to give me a little cushion on my go, be able to enter a few advanced tourneys etc etc. was happy with Pve event and most new characters and features. After totally fkng the Pve scoring and then the boost prices which I was already taking an ISO loss to stay competitive in Pve. I'm going back to my spending boycott til I see changes I consider favorable. If you like the changes more power to you have fun but I'll keep slowly increasing power for free and take my occasional wins.

You can avoid it temporarily. Eventually it will catch up and say 'Update downloaded, applying now' but it's not instant.

Which makes the idea of installing this change in the middle of a major event that players have already invested time and resources into even funnier. There are people who are merrily paying 200 ISO for 3/All and clearing missions frantically with Still Bugged Patch while others who've updated are staring at them in envy.

People wanted Deadpool in this game? The yellow voice in his head appears to be the lead dev.

It wasn't a manual update. It auto loads it. All I can say is that 1. This game is slipping out of my thoughts worth all the money grabbing. Also, the sneaky bull lvl of this change was pretty high. To release patch preview notes and not mention this? Pretty not okay. Maybe I really SHOULD sell thor and wolvie...cuz I am not about to drop hp on 3+ ap. Which means its even more important to have a stronger team than the next guy.

Glad I didn't drop hp on the avenger tourney yet...o might be selling half my team AND not being able to boost by ppl stronger as easily.

Ok, they made the rainbow boost expensive.
TIME TO RESTORE ALL THE FUNBALANCING DUE TOO LOW AP COST

Personally, I think PVP will be much less aggravating when some mid-level two star can't jack me for 45 pts with a triple boost on.

I will miss Spidey's instant team stun lock with stockpile all and stockpile blue/purple.

I hope they hold off the on the Spidey nerf for a few weeks until things have stabilized... at least until this wretched PVE is over. You better be worth the aggravation Daredevil!!!!

I might have understood if they separated the boosts into PvP and PvE and charged gold for PvP, but hey, this leaves me with more time for M:AA(come on new SO) and some WildStar-beta(and maybe even school if I get really bored).

Been here almost from the start even if I mostly stalked the forums, see you guys in another game.

Now to present abuelo 2 cents.

*ahem*

This is f***ing b*llsh*t

This completes abuelo's 2 cents.

Same here. I stopped playing Warframe when I found MPQ. I guess it's time to go back. Although I will try to do my best until this event ends. I put too much time trying to get Daredevil to let the devs ruin it for me. When I woke up this morning I was confident I could be in top 10 of my main. Now I don't even know if I can place top 50 (#37 as I write this).
