I'm sure this thread will get locked once the devs bother to update the forums. But they updated FB 30 mins ago.

    Non US players will get ripped off on VIP prices.

    Also expect an admin post in about 3 hours.

    Operation Money Grab is a go.

    "How can we make the game more fun and interesting?" "...."

    "How can we increase monetization?" "Oh, I have tons of ideas for that!!" "Okay, great. Let's do it!!" icon_lol.gif

    Does anyone else get really annoyed by how these new character interviews always refer to "Strength Tiles" which aren't a thing?

    Improve your roster so that you can face scaling that renders that improvement meaningless!

    Thanks... but no thanks. The VIP program will likely increase the gap between rich and poor in this game. The non-USA gamers are likely to get the short straw here. This seems like a feeble, misguided attempt to drum up some interest, and perhaps to squeeze out a few more bucks before the game tanks. Sad that they had to resort to something like this, rather than simply add the (already needed) rewards for free (or at least a MUCH lower price.... please remember, this is a 2D game for mobile, not a state-of-the-art console release).

    Please note, this is by no means a "quitting thread" - I am simply pointing out an issue. I plan to still play as F2P, as I have been since their XFW nerf, prior to which I was a regular financial contributor icon_e_smile.gif.

    Operation Money Grab is a go.

    I'm sure some folks will lap it up. I see it as similar to being pick pocketed on your way to and from the cash machine. VIP should have been awarding exclusive game modes and what not, not just offering 2 ways of buying the same resources.

    Fittingly, the sign-up link at the end of the article is broken.

    Yup pay to win there. Too big of an advantage with faster heal. We already don't want to play as much as we do now. But now they add increased healing to get people to play more. I guess in their data sets, the more time people spend in the game, the more they will buy. Just like how casinos think the longer you spend at their casino, the more money you will lose.

    PVP is gonna get worse now. Not only will people use shields, but now they use shorter shields because they heal faster and can hop more often. Thus the non Shielders will get hit even more than before.

    Oh I have no doubt. There's $100 buy clubs every day, another $10/mo is nothing. Hell I'm sure I'll convince myself I'm dumb enough to need the extra rewards here and there.

    I'm just commenting on the lack of subtlety to what this program does.

    Lol wow, I hadn't noticed how bad it was until you pointed it out.
    creates Black Strength Tiles
    creating a Strength Strike tile whenever you match Green tiles
    creates a Strength Attack Tile when you match Black tiles
    Moon Knight is also great at providing strength tiles
