This is somethibg strictly for the whales, its there to give them something to do with the hero points that they purchase in the buy clubs.

Whales buy 40 packs for the free LT

Got the 2500 offer and I took it. As it speeds up the 4*IF covering process and gave me some good championing rewards from 3*. I would not take that offer if it was 4 elite tokens instead of 4 guaranteed 3* covers. Plus I might be going for it once every season at best as 2500 is still very steep for FTP player. One reason I did it - we don't have the next realease scheduled so I have time to get 1k for the slot. 

At 3600 i would not make a deal (as I didn't do a single one on the specific vualts).

So... instead of fixing any of the bugs or adding in fun new content or any true progression into 5* land, they spent months repackaging the same overly expensive weekly 4* vault that apparently was a big failure?

You know, there's a saying... you can't shine "garbage".

Also why should I ever pay 3600 hp for something others are getting 2500 for? Please stop using us as unpaid beta testers.

So going through it on Discord, we can't find the commonality between the different offers. The 3,600 HP vaults do offer more tokens, iso and CP than the 2,500 HP vaults but I think we'd all agree that the difference isn't worth the price and the players should have a chance to make that decision if they think it is. Also, a number of people don't have the 5 upcoming 4-stars available as optional vaults just yet. 

We can't isolate what makes the vaults different, it is not platform, shield rank, days played or anything else that we can figure out.

Not sure that it's linked to r123 or r124 either, but I don't think so.

RNG, brah.

Man, I went through a range of emotions on this one. Had I been offered the 2500 option and not the 3600 one I may have made the purchase long before coming to the forum to poke around (I currently don't have Danny on my roster, that art haunts my dreams). If they stick with the 2500 price, keep the guaranteed 3 star (and not give elite tokens in their place) and turn back on the preview for upcoming stores I will likely spring for a couple. I agree that I feel...used by not having the same option as those with identical ranking

Suggestion for the devs:

Instead of offering some people the 2500 deal and other people the 3600 deal, just offer both to all players.  It's less confusing, it doesn't seem underhanded, you still get feedback on which is more popular, and you would get more sales from the few people that buy both.

For me I won't buy this often.  Maybe every once in a while for a 5/5/2 vaulted character that would otherwise be tough to get.

I'm not sure that giving some players a discounted price on 4* covers is the best way to maintain the appearance of fairness in a competitive game environment.

So, instead of making a CP Vintage 4* Heroes Vault (which was actually requested by players) you guys have made another overly-expensive vault for rich players. Great job, Demiurge.

I dug into this theory and there doesn't seem to be consistency on that either. Someone on Discord is 10 days apart from me in days played, the exact same SR, updated to R124 like me and they play on Android while I'm on iOS but we have different offers. There's other Android users with my offer as well, so it's not just that.

They seem really interested in increasing HP sales in the last few weeks. Times must be crazy tight. They don't even have the money to hire someone to knock out these simple bug fixes anymore.

The main differences I see between the 3600 HP and 2500 HP offers, are 4 Elite Tokens, 6000 Iso, and 2 CP. So, per devs thinking, that difference is worth 1100 HP? What?

Of course, after all 20000 HP = 78000 iso according to the shop, so the iso alone is worth 1500 hp.
You're getting a bargain

The saying goes: "You can't polish a turd". But that isn't true, the MythBusters put a high shine on a couple of turds!

Why would the whales buy these? just to **throw** away hp? nothing for them in there.

I like having options, and 2500 HPs if it's a cover I need to champ a favorite hero isn't too bad. But otherwise, I probably won't be using this feature. So, I like this, but I don't know that I'll use it too much.

Also lost a LOT of respect for Brigby due to his (in hindsight) obvious dodging of answering about the pricing structure. 

When did this game go into such decline?

pheregas

I can +1 the difference.  The 3600 HP vault gives you (for every character) 4 additional Elite tokens, 4,000 iso, and 2 CP.


Looks like we are beta testing the pricing structure.

What in the **** is going on?
They cant even implement a new store without us all scrambling about trying to figure out why we are seeing different stores at different prices.
Sure id be happier if id been offered the cheaper store, because thatď make it easier to understand........   not!

And even for the non forum players, it's not like they aren't going to find out from their alliance that they've been taken for 3600 when others only had to pay 2500.

And besides the obvious of making the introduction offer a 4 that will be in the latest for months, if it peggy many would have bought against their better judgment.
