This FAQ here might provide a bit of insight into the different options players are seeing: Different Price Offers

This faq is not specific to this store.  if you look it was updated 12days ago.  this faq was meant for the difference in purchasing hp/iso with real money. thus the comment at the end abput conversion rates.  brigby is just trying to throw out something generic to appease the crowds at this point. i feel for him. he is catching all the backlash for what the devs keep screwing up but at the same time, doing stuff like this is just gas on the flames.

k, I've read a couple of post, and I am confused, why some people pays 3600 hp and others 2500hp?, is because is random or just the personal lvl. Thks ahead if someone could clarify this for me?

The differences people are seeing in the store appear to be random.

Here is the new store I'd actually like to see: http://forums.d3go.com/discussion/63390/new-store-fix-for-vaulting-and-5-dilution

3 days in a row I get the 3600 "deal". On first day I at least had 4 3* and 4 elites. Day 2 and 3, 8 elites. Yeap... Not much of a special offer

I'd like the option to turn this new store page off because every time I look at what you are offering me feels insulting.  It's one thing to add a new feature.  However it is another to offer me a cover that I am missing to complete a node, and telling me that I can have it for 4,600 gold (basically $40.00 for token + roster slot cost) while still advertising that you are free to play.  

Meanwhile, we have bugs that cost players health packs (ergo, more $$ money) that you still haven't fixed.  Like Captain Marvel 3*/Storm 2* incoming wave bugs, as well as the crash bugs, and inevitable instances of something being royally **** up every patch.  You don't have time to fix that, but you have the time to slap your player base in the face like this?  Come on...

Thanks to the new HfH store, I always know what time it is.

In this economy 4's hold a 1000HP value (if that and kinda drop with each release)

You can earn 1000 HP in a little bit less time than 120CP if saving. (and this is you not placing high enough in most events subs to earn HP and mainly consisting of 3 star champ awards with the occasional amount from progression)

2500 to 3600 just doesn't quite equate. 
Even for the other tokens included.

Unless these packs begin to include legendary tokens, or all 3 colors, there is no foreseeable value at these rates.
VIP as said gives 2 Legendary tokens along with Hp and more over 28 Days. for 10 dollars.
These deals in currency are two months worth of that for a singular cover.

The UI additions are also not at all good. No other limited time store brings as much attention to itself.
it's important to remember when pricing these that they are digital goods that are unlimited in stock and that the more you guys continue to attempt to change and evolve the game, the prices of these goods must also change and adapt.

4's went for 2500 HP when they were what 5's are now.
Instead of adapting the price, you guys used the 4 star price as a benchmark for entry into the new tier.

I missed out on a Medusa yellow cover because no way in hell was I going to pay 3600 when others are paying 2500. If it were the latter I would've picked it up, since it's the last cover I need

But to pay more feels like a freaking scam to me. It's a way of cheating players and I really couldn't care for the extra tokens (4 tokens? more like 1000iso) and slight boost in ISO. It's really the covers we're going for and that is just a tinykitty cheat move on the dev's part.

I would have quite liked that Moonknight black, but point blank refuse to pay 3600HP when others are paying 2500HP for it. 

I dont even bother checking the store anymore.

Also making the color so that you can choose what you need, just getting "random" colors which never fits your needs, then maybe, just maybe I would consider buying it for 2500HP 

Spiritclaw

If I had five to ten more slots, I might consider saving hp to buy covers.  Slots are a much higher priority for me.

Uhhh, I realize now that we, regular players, more or less hardcore, have no power to change anything. I just happened to get hit in PvP (oh right 3* roster hit by 5* max champs), by the king of whales. I'm talking about 5* max champs, 2x max champ Coulsons, 3x max champs 4* Blades, and a Cloak and Dagger with silly 60 champion levels, while people are still trying to get few covers.

Honestly, one player like this probably spends more than 1000 average ones (or more), so as long as the main goal is making as much $$ as possible, instead of making a solid game, we're not getting anything. The bugs will stay, the vaulting will stay, expect more stores, less ISO and less HP.

That's pretty much the free to play model.  Less than 1% of the players finance the game that the 99+% play.  

Targeting, catering to and extracting the maximum from that less than 1% is the way games with the free to play tag make dough.  

As a part of the sub 99% I am glad they spend that way because I really like this game.

In addition to the price difference, one of the members in my alliance is not only getting the lower price but also has a choice of which character to buy - he has a selector at the bottom that I don't have.

I've got the selector, but also the higher price. This rollout is so confusing, I really wonder how they were hoping to get any meaningful sales data from it. Or maybe it was a test of the player base's communication skills?

VoltaicDuke

Actually my bad - he has the higher price and the selection - do those go hand in hand?

Need that Wasp cover, two dying on the vine, more of the wrong colour to come from pve progression but I still wouldn't pay 3600 for the cover. Maybe 2 years ago when they were more valuable but there's enough to work on and I'd spend 120 CP rather than 3600 HP.

Since the very first sale with Danny Rand featured, I've had the 3600HP version but without the supplemental 3* covers. 3600 for a single 4* cover and what amounts to about 12k Iso surely is not close to worth it. I bought that first one because of the extra goodies but without them? Not even a consideration.

Quoting for truth here.

That was, I believe, intended as an introductory offer.  Not to be standard, unfortunately.

My new theory (other than complete randomness):  if you are a spender, you get 3600 price.  If not, 2500.  By spender, I mean any $.  My offer is 3600.  I am VIP (yes, still) and occasional Logan's Loonies buyer (last one was during the PQ anniversary sale).  I would be curious if anyone who hasn't spent $ in a couple months has 3600 offer.
