New Store - Heroes for Hire (4/11/17)

Stax the Foyer

The prices are fine.

For 2015.

Brigby, next time you talk to the developers, please remind them that 5*s exist now.

I'm Shield Rank 80.

I currently have six different character covers available that include 4 elite tokens, 4K iso and a CP for 2,500 HP. That'll definitely be worth it on the right covers.It's objectively better than the 3,600 HP vaults and now we don't have to wait a week in between them.

Mine are:
Red IMHB
Yellow Medusa
Red War Machine
Yellow Wasp
Green Ghost Rider
Purple Star-Lord

Mine showed about half of those initially, but now only shows Iron Fist. And the price was 3600. For 2500, I would buy one.

Same thing happened to me.

Either different for the various ranks, or there's been a change since some of those posts.
(Shield Rank: 65)

It's exactly my vault (SR 67, no VIP-status).

Ok so you have two issues which are commonly complained about.

Vaulting and 5* acquisition. You had the chance here to fix both and make money and did not address either really.

I know some people get that 'multiple choice' store which kind of helps with the vaulting but at 3600 hp you're not gonna get many takers. Why?

The main reason is covers are not as rare as they used to be so trying to price it close to the old Hp whaling price is silly. People paid that because covers were rare, this price point is a year too late. It also does not even address 5* acquisition.

Create a new store which offers:

1 5* cover (not a token)

2 vaulted 4* covers

and charge 8k hp and it will make money and address both of the aforementioned issues. Also...stop doing these stealth price point choices, announce the price points in a survey and see what people think via that method. Stealth releases like this don't engender good will when people realise other people are getting better deals or choices

For what it's worth, I rebooted my phone and tablet and it's still the same available at the same price. I'll update if it changes.

This is all pretty farcical. All my offers display at 3600HP, yet others are seeing 2500HP.

I like the idea of a store where you are guaranteed buys. However at these prices there are only a few covers I'd even consider buying:

 Teen Jean (5/3/3) Blue or Green, Thoress (0/5/5) Red, Nova (5/2/2) Yellow or Black, & Iceman (0/5/4) Green. 

Outside of those 6 covers I will never buy this. Those also are extremely unlikely to change because all other characters are either vaulted but not good enough for this price, or non-vaulted and laughably easy to get. This might be more appealing if they hadn't vaulted so much.

My vault is 3600 whilst others in my alliance and alliance family have it at 2500. I might pull it at 2500 but not at 3600

DesertTortoise

I'm VIP and it's 2,500 HP. Could that be the difference?

Nick441234

I'm VIP too, still displays at 3600HP.

I think they are just doing price point checks again. They had 3 different stores they wanted to test and used us as paying beta testers...again

WEBGAS

WHY this difference in prices? mine was 2500hp for IF,Cage3,Panther,Strange;hulk 4000 iso and 1cp and 1 elite
I am rank 94.....my teammates paid 3600 and the difference was +6000iso and +2cp and +2elite

DrDevilDinosaur

SR 80 and I'm seeing the 2500hp cost. That's how much it used to cost to buy a 4* with HP, so it definitely looks like a reasonable cost to me. The one & done limit, and specific colour cover are sufficient to prevent whale abuse.

There's a good mix of current and vaulted characters, which makes this a more appealing prospect for finishing off those 12 cover champs people may have in their rosters.

I... I actually think this may be a very good idea.

killerkoala

in the bottom there was a tab to see upcoming offers, game reset and now their gone. it was HB and after that medusa for me.


BTW i'm rank 97 (cost 3600 HP) had 4* IF (needed green offered Blue) + 4 (3*) + 4 elites + 10k iso +  and 3CP




The should be working on making colorless covers instead of weird offers (vintage Heroic and now limited sales)

Alsmir

Just FYI on my fresh SL5 mobile account the offer is:
3* Iron Fist
3* Luke Cage
2500 ISO

for 1000hp.

Is anyone even trying to test it or are all the prices made for super whales?

Nick441234

I can tell you now I wont be paying 3600HP, even once, if other people are seeing the same offer for 2500HP. Why am I being charged more?

If they actually made the cover available in this store to be colourless that might sell a few more of these deals...

Hi Everyone,

Following the previous update to Deadpool's Daily Quest, we wanted to give players additional ways to improve their roster, but this time tying it closely to the DDQ character rotations that players have grown accustomed to. 

Starting tomorrow at 7:00 AM EDT, players will have access to the Heroes for Hire store page. This page gives players the option of purchasing a cover for a hero as well as getting some Tokens, Iso-8 and Command Points.

• There's a new store in the "Recruit Heroes" section of the game called Heroes for Hire
• Each day, a new hero is available to be purchased.
• Players under S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank 30 will have the opportunity to purchase a offer that includes a 3-Star cover. 
• Players at S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank 30 or higher will have the opportunity to purchase a offer that includes a 4-Star Hero.
• These offers come with Tokens, Iso-8 and/or Command Points.
• Starting Thursday, 4/13, the offers will be timed with the featured 3-Stars and 4-Stars of Deadpool's Daily Quest. 
• The 3-Star offer features the 3-Star from Dat Required Character mission.
• The 4-Star offer features the 4-Star from The Behemoth Burrito mission.

• The first day of the offer will be special Heroes for Hire themed offer:
• Offers for players under S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank 30 will include Iron Fist (Immortal Weapon) and Luke Cage (Hero for Hire).
• Offers for players at S.H.I.E.L.D. Rank 30 or higher will include Iron Fist (Danny Rand), Luke Cage (Hero for Hire), The Hulk (Indestructible), Doctor Strange (Stephen Strange), and Black Panther (T'Challa).

In addition, this will be one of the rare times we decide to offer a direct avenue for acquiring a specific character you want.

Why on earth would I buy anything in this game anymore when the devs have proven they'll just alter anything of any use and offer pennies on the dollar thereafter?  No more nonsense. No more ducking player feedback. It's just mind numbing how badly D3 has missed the mark at this point. 

Over 1k days in this far, and I'm gonna give them 30 more to fix this major mistake or I'm outtie 5000. 

If you don't like the offer, just vote with your wallet and don't buy it.

Er, theres no proof that he even put in any money to begin with? 
\

Not really relevant IMO. If you like an offer, buy it. If you don't like the offer, don't buy it. Sales numbers will show which ideas are appreciated by the player base and which ideas weren't so good.

Sure. 100 players ignore the store, then 1 whale drops few thousands of dollars and devs claim it was very popular and a massive success.

In which case the whale's spending presumably goes down in other stores too. In the case of whales I suspect they keep a closer Eye on exactly what they are buying anyway. I doubt that would be enough to call it a success.

Still tinykitty offer 1000HP/ 4 star guaranteed is reasonable but this is just tinykitty in all kinds of ways 

Agreed. Might as well just get the VIP and have a chance for the bonus.

Shield Rank 77. Mine says 2500.

I'm fine with that. My Medusa is 4/4/4 and I could use one more cover to champ...
