    Haven't been a VIP since 2019, so snapped this up as soon as Steam updated the price to GBP 0.79 (GBP 0.99 on Android)!

    After a few restarts, the price dropped to €0,79. That's a steal.

    I restarted again and still no love for Kindle Fire. Oh well.

    I wish VIP did more, like auto-complete DDQ

    If they sold unlimited packs, you'd have some players playing 24/7 (or near enough to it) and then others would need to do that to keep up with them. It turns into the whole tapping thing again. It's a bad look for game developers to have players die playing your game.

    What would they play 24/7 that they couldn't do already with their roster depth? What would you repeatedly tap?

    PVP.
    Instead of hitting someone 200 times, they'd hit 2000 times with unlimited packs.

    5 healthpacks cost 200 HP.
    1 Stark = 500 healthpacks.

    What's the probability of unlimited healthpacks going for 9.99?

    Look, according to you the new VIP package should probably be priced at 300 bucks.
    Let it go.

    That's a one time special deal. It's not permanent. Let's talk again when it's permanent. It will be back the normal package once this $1 VIP is used up.

    It isn't ever going to be permanent so no more talking needed! Yay!

    If I've read Ice's post correctly:
    The ~$€£1 VIP is this month only.
    The new VIP rewards are permanent.

    Let the "more talking" commence!

    Fiddlesticks! You've done it now! With Hound Inflation (TM) this thing is going to end up costing 500 quid before he is done!

    Mod mode off

    That may end up being cheaper than actual inflation if things keep going the way they have... 😄

    Mod mode on

    Please keep on topic @scofie, which is not the global economy.

    I meant the $1 deal is not permanent.

    They used to sell 30 healthpacks with 10,000 iso-8 for $3. I think that's the baseline.

    I don't think they'll ever sell unlimited health packs. Health packs serve a really important purpose in the game, in that they limit playtime. I know "health packs=profits" is a meme, but very few players actually buy packs, even among the most competitive. For those who spend, who want to grind...well, even the spendiest, grindiest players today can't afford to play forever.

    Personally I HATE HATE HATE health packs more than anything else in this game (including Chasm and any other OP character or any other annoyance short of the old flashing when you made a match 3).

    The very idea of health packs limiting game time makes the Devs into some Nanny or my mother when I was a kid. I've never played another game where there was an idea of some kind of built in time limit.

    Anyway, I wish they've revamp the daily resupply (or the vault fillers like ISO, Red ISO etc) so that we could select from among ISO, Red ISO, Health Packs, Boosts etc and then only get that particular reward.

    Or they fixed health pack usage so that your 'free' ones came off first before your saved ones.
