Introducing a new tier and locking acquisition of the only 6* behind purchases isn't a good look.

I've tried to be positive as much as I can over the last few months, but this is ridiculous.

Yes you can get 75 shards through the currently available quests but you can double that currently by spending money.

I don't like it. Maybe there's more to come but it's so super secret they can't tell us but that doesn't tiny kitty matter. Lack of communication speaks volumes.

And when you promise exciting new ways to collect exciting new characters... Only to deliver special offers that provide more shards than you can earn without spending it says all the wrong things.

Offers are fine but there should be at least equal chance to earn through play.

Anyway...I'm not mad, just disappointed even though I saw it coming.

They're in business to make money. It is not a "bad look" for them to try to make money.

If anything, you should be able to buy WAY, way more than double the number of shards given away for free.

Obviously they need to bring in revenue.

I'm not speaking to logic, I'm sharing a feeling I have.

They can do whatever they want with their game, and I can express my disappointment they chose to charge money for the shiney new thing they said would have exciting new ways to acquire, while they're already losing money due to other poor decisions.

And you can tell me I'm wrong.

How long have you been disappointed, then? They've been charging money for the shiny new thing since 2014.

To quote the devs from this very thread: "Their arrival will not only change how players acquire and build characters..."

They made a claim for something new, then just did the same thing they've been doing for years.

My disappointment stems from believing that claim.

And you're counter argument is to make a snide remark that completely ignores the fact they made the claim in the first place.

I've what explained clearly that my disappointment is my own fault for believing certain things and making assumptions based on a claim I know I shouldn't have put in stock in.

But feel free to ignore any context I provide in favor of looking at me for the sake of being argumentative.

I still say we need to hold off on this conclusion. Does this feel like the full rollout of 6* characters to everyone? It doesn't feel like that to me. There is more coming than this, otherwise no one will ever fully cover a 6*. They're just trying to make some money first.

^This.

I'm still expecting that there will be some new token with probably a new currency that will be like legendary tokens but with 5 star and 6 star draws. Mythical tokens, or something like that.

Seems kind of ridiculous that the side nodes jumped from level 78 to 600 in one day reset. I hope that is scaled for roster, otherwise that just is not fair, we have several lower level players in our alliance and they have next to no chance of using their own roster on those nodes. Perhaps they could have smoothed out the scaling if that is the case.

It's roster scaled as the side nodes always are. Mine jumped to 450 range.

Mine has scaled to 533.. and the highest that I have in my rooster is two at 468... (round 5)...

Mine are lvl618 now.

Hey! Can we stop complaining now about the Herald fights being too easy and start complaining about them being too hard?

Mine are over lvl 600 as well but I haven't had a hard time beating them. Maybe I've just gotten good boards though.

That seems right. Roughly 50 levels above your max (mine are 360 and went to roughly 430 as I checked again and it's 430, not 450).

Presumably will be another 50 levels by Sunday. But it's only 1 enemy and they are all stunable.

Mine only went up 7 on this swap. Frankie was 562 for me (I think my WS is my top at 503) this round she’s only 569.
