I feel like I remember a grace period of 2 weeks being said before. On the other hand, I might be thinking of a more generous game, so maybe not.

I thought it was that or a week but according to support... NOPE.

I am in the same boat, I bought a Stark during the 4* Hulk DDQ to cover max him. Now there is a sale, of course.

Please don't tell me what to do with MY money. I work for it and I will spend it how I please. If i feel like spending it on coffee, clothes, alcohol, porn or a Sale on HP; Hell even on health pack, It's my money. Please mind your business and lets help each on how to beat 395 level Juggs, Venom and Bullseye.

People are merely expressing an opinion and advocating for their position. Do you yell at the radio when the local car dealership tells you to, "come in and take a test drive!"?

Don't tell me what to do, car dealer!


Okay, sometimes I do that. But seriously, people are just expressing how they feel about it. If you feel bossed around by that maybe there's something else at play?

i would love to see how much they sell on the 20 or 30% more sales compair to normal prices.. i mean if they sell 40% more on sales you would think they would just keep sales 24/7

Why is anybody still giving these guys money? Buying any amount of HP/ISO at even 99% off is telling D3/Demiurge, "everything is OK".

It's interesting that the price of the game has effectively increased two years in. Not that its not viable as a free game, but if you choose to put money in, you get much less for your money than you used to, due to the shift towards 4*s. The price of HP is the same, but the value is substantially less than it was a year and a half ago.

The problem is, the prices are long overdue a change. The amount of HP and ISO sold ingame are unrealistic based on the current status of the game. How many $100 bills you need to turn a lv70 4* into a lv270 on ISO side alone? New console releases are $40-60.

Nice to see people log in on christmas to still defend d3 lol.

Anyway, the sale of isn't enough because HP and ISO don't mean the same thing.

Throwing money at this game still feels like tossing money into a void.

Spend 100? thats 10 covers on one single 4 star.
Spend the more reasonable 20 bucks? 3 3 star covers, 1 singular 4 star cover, some left over.

100 bucks in iso? LOL, Just LOL.

The argument 'i'm satisfied' or 'stop complaining' isn't at all an argument. its just bitter posting to bitter post.
Don't like the posts? Ignore it, I do.
Suggestions? You mean giving the guys that want money from us the ideas for us to spend money on?
People have been talking about iso prices being to high for ages.
5 star tier coming in should hav adjusted HP costs a while ago.

I would totally spend money on this game, if during a sale, the prices were dropped instead of just giving slightly more for the same price. Also I'm super OCD and don't like the weird uneven numbers the HP are offered in during sales. If they offered 1000 hp for 5 dollars I would probably buy that any time I needed a roster slot, but instead I play for free and they base their business model on whales and token junkies.

That is actually how I approach buying HP. I paid a lower price for a normal stark salary by finding Google Play GCs on sale. For example, I picked up 2 during Black Friday from Sams Club for $80 each. That is the only real cash I've spent on the game which compared to how much time I spend playing this game isn't bad.

I don't think people are complaining that they aren't getting free stuff. They would just prefer a DIFFERENT sale.

For example, let's say you were in the market to buy a new TV and 2 competing stores were offering the following deals:

Store #1: 60" Super Plasma Ultra 4K TV 30%
Store #2: Buy the 60" Super Plasma Ultra 4K TV at full price and we'll give you an 18" TV for FREE

I'll let you decide which offer you would take.

I would honestly take store 1s deal

I agree with this as well. I'd be much more willing to spend money if the price was 30% off for the same HP as always. And they've done that sale before.
The odd unusable 20 HP makes me annoyed, and doesn't make me want to buy more HP to even it out. It makes me want to waste 20 HP on recalling a TU character for literally no reason other than to return to a spendable number.

But, since they've run both types of sales before, the answer is very likely that 30% more product sells better than a 30% discount no matter what we think of it as a sale price.

Also, tangentially, I am firmly of he opinion that the cost of a roster slot should be capped at the $5 IRL cost, because that's a pretty typical impulse buy price point. So either adjust roster slots to cap at 600 HP or adjust sale prices so 1000HP is $5. (Let's not even get started on the price of ISO!)

This might be the first sale where I don't drop coin, mainly because if the new features don't live up to the promise to improve the 3*-4* transition, I'm probably not long for this game.

However, I have to take issue with:

30% more TV would probably be more like throwing in a 40-inch 1080p TV... Which I might actually consider, depending on my circumstance. Comparing a 30% off sale to a +10% value sale is a little disingenuous.

While I agree the example was lacking, the discount is probably still a better value than the incentive in general.

30% of 60 inches is approximately 18 inches, I invalidate your argument.

Its not a good invalidation. TVs have a much higher diminishing return than say... Hero Points.

The better idea is in the case of say... Food.

You can buy a box of food for 30% less of the base price, or you can buy 30% more food for the same base price.
People can't fathom needing a smaller TV when they just got a big one (unless they have kids), but thats because TV is a luxury item.
When it comes to something less imposing than televisions or other large-scale pieces of technology, people are actually more willing to fall into the middle ground.

Personally, I wouldn't want to make 2 trips for something I need anyways, so I might as well take advantage and buy 30% more for no extra cost.
Between paying $100 for 130% of groceries, and $70 for 100% of groceries. I don't want to get into the deeper math parts of it, but if you account in all extraneous factors involved its actually MORE efficient to buy the second rather than the first.
