    What? You mean a single pull of the mythic slot machine isn't worth the cost of 1.7 AAA full release no gated content video game titles?

    I'll save my $60 for Mass Effect Andromeda.... thanks icon_razz.gif

    You think the outcry now is bad?!? Just wait til everyone in platinum grinds for 27 days and the majority of them get dupe mythics. Everyone is going to quit. That will be by far the worst experience any game can give someone.

    Elite Packs need to be just that "ELITE". We should only be getting Masterpiece cards at that price. If you must add mythics to it, add the broken mythics from each set like Drowner, Starfield, Olivia. No one wants Yaheeni and throwing Yaheeni in there is giving us **** down our mouths and telling us it's mana. We still know its ****.

    I think they could fix every issue here by giving a single iso8.png per win in QB. 400 wins isn't unreasonable for a chance at a masterpiece. They won't have to make the masterpiece packs masterpiece only, they can leave the new event as is (faster mining for those willing to pay), they can leave the gem packs price the same, it would all be fine.

    I vote for iso8.png mining in QB. (Or a weekly unlimited node recharge, iso8.png per win event).

    Disagree. I don't have the time to farm quick battle all day and don't want to be disadvantaged by those who strategically have been playing the game longer than me, allowing them to have purchased Olivia and dominate the format with Nahiri zoo decks.

    I'm 100% okay with jewels not being a grind currency and your proposal change it from a reward to something you can get as much of as you're willing to spend time in QB to get.

    Yes this is a huge mistake!
    This is a complete failure.

    No amount of free jewels or free crystals will fix this. This needs to be changed and quickly.

    Six pages and 110+ post to this thread and only two or three of those are positive. The discontent from the community is clear.

    I'm seeing red flags up all over the forums. Players are taking about demanding refunds, refusing to spend, boycotting events, lawsuits, and quitting the game.

    Once again it seems the players have been alienated.

    I've also noticed the number of players registered for an event has disappeared.

    I actually quite liked knowing how many people were playing, any reason this has gone?

    Probably because it's just going to be embarrassing now after the update.

    I didn't notice that, but it's hilarious if true.

    Unfortunately, that 27 days is not going to happen for most of us here from the looks of it.

    Its amazing how they could get so many things wrong all with one "foul" swoop.

    I agree it should be masterpieces only at this level... perhaps elite cards, but not sure how that would be judged.. especially by these particular developers (see Ornithopter as a masterpiece). 13 coalition top 2 events still seems like a steep price for 1 single masterpiece card... can't even imagine the rage of getting another dupe.

    Its almost like they want to just start over with the player base. Get all of us long time players to leave and start a new economy. The problem is we are letting our opinions be known on their app store ratings, so I doubt people will be clambering to get in the door.

    I'll give kudos to the team for the mechanics of the event, the events at least for me for a while have been dull and boring, but the progression nodes a really good step in offering a real challenge to the more experienced players. That said, this event is for more experienced players so i would change the periodicity of the event to once per week.

    Now onto the bad news, the prizes are worth the cost of 60 crystals. I wont repeat what has been repeated in the last 6 pages. The upside ratio of getting one of the modern cards is not worth it. I would pay 10 crystals at most for the current violet crystal exchange rate of the event, but not more. Making it once per week and at a more cheaper entrance cost would work better.

    Bloody hell, I haven't even downvoted my Playstore review yet. Thanks for reminding me.

    Yeah that reminded me to go do it too! If I can deter even just 1 person then I know it was a good deed and I saved them from frustration and disappointment.

    Just changed my rating to 2 stars, stating that the game has been moved to heavily PTW. As others have said as well, if I just barely started playing this game, I would have quickly deleted it because of the 60 manacrystal.png price tag on an event for very little in return and the 400 price tag on the glorified mythic pack. And especially the $100 price tag on the 550 iso8.png would be the nail in the coffin.

    Just play with Baral, and beat the opposing decks before they get their advantage! Oh wait...definitely a P2W plan there.

    100 iso8.png was a intentional well designed ploy 4 your money! They want u 2buy anything with iso8.png bundle & buying more manacrystal.png to get K-pks & for events. Point is spend! spend! spend! When u finally get Ur OverPriced iso8.png -pack the MastPiece order goes, 1good 1ok & 1garbage, in with Legendary, Ditto goes for there order too. I was duped $700 300 manacrystal.png per K-pack 60+ K-pks NOT ONE MasterPiece +2 iso8.png -pks.GL W/ these odds! Now, I'll spend $0/gquit 4 the win!
