Yes, please do thank me for speaking up before the game balance got destroyed and there would be no more point completing events because 16 gems is nothing compared to the hundreds you’d be getting from the shrine. I would explain further the negatives of a shrine like that but I know that can’t change the greed and envy some players have.
Also, any mention of the shrine rate being reduced is ridiculous. As Exu says, they’ve always varied the rate and it was only 15 days for a short time. The standard we should expect is 3-4 weeks.
Don’t you think a monthly or every 3 weeks sanctuary is abusive, because it is literally the only way to quickly earn gems and many times treats us very poorly for it to come only once a month. For example, I know people who have gone an entire year without winning more than 800 gems in a 500 shot, meaning they don’t exceed 800 gems and many who for 6 months in a row have only been getting 600-700 gems in those shots. So progress is slow. As an F2P player, I know Neo is a game of time for us but it’s the time that sometimes we don’t have to play PvE which is another main source of gem income.
With regards to the doom and gloom talk about the VIP system giving P2W players too much advantage…
Firstly, you’re all free to express your opinions on how this addition to the game makes you feel.
However, please keep in mind:
Do not name and shame players
The VIP bonuses are one-time rewards. So the proper gain here is from the new gem deals available, most of which are very similar to what we regularly see although now they will be available more regularly
New players starting out won’t be able to buy into an advantage much more than they could already. Great points raised here by people about ingredients required and PvP is highly skill-based
The fortune shrine has been around a few years and there are plenty of examples of players who have many awakened mythics thanks to its existence. This will continue and if you stick with the game you’ll have a strong account able to compete with top people eventually
Players were recently asking for more benefits for paid gems and otherwise incentives to spend. This VIP system has given many good incentives for spending but it’s not where they get a boost compared to free players, they’re simply getting more for their money
I shared my VIP screen just for a bit of fun. I did not mean to cause any drama with it. People who want to be all high and mighty about being F2P can be put to the test now, but let’s not make it a big thing.
Regarding the Sanctuary of Fortune, you are right, thanks to it, most F2P players have been able to awaken mythics, but at what cost? I mean, you awaken a mythic after saving for months, and as many know, a team does not depend on just one monster. I still can’t believe that a friend of mine spent 1200 gems on a legendary (Strungeonidas). It’s one of the best, but I don’t understand why so many gems for just one monster . That’s the disadvantage of being F2P, you gain experience but go through too much trouble for so little.
Players like you who have been playing for years as F2P have great collections with which they can reach the top, examples of this are CFN Devilmoon 007, K1NG 7 Seals, LOG Yuki, AKT Babayaga, just to name a few. That is both the advantage and disadvantage of being F2P - you become a skilled player with a lot of experience, but it takes a long time to level up your account to reach the top 25-10.
I have only been playing for about 9 months and I already have 2 awakened units and good legendaries. Many top players I know through social media believe that this season, if I put in the effort, I could reach the top 50, which in my opinion is a bit exaggerated considering the time I’ve been playing. It would be a great achievement for me, and I wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone and show that I can indeed reach the top. It’s all thanks to the good work I’ve done with my account and the advice I receive. However, a player with the same amount of time as me and without advice won’t get very far.
Would it be possible to know if the offer of double gems on the anniversary for 14 days will continue like this? Will the offers for double gems, ingredients and tickets in the normal store continue to appear? @Dev_VKC
The same cost the spenders have to go through. Most people can only budget for a certain amount of spending and they have to try to get the most they can with those gems. They will also have experiences of spending a great many gems to only get a little.
The cost to get a big advantage in many awakened mythics is enormous. Not many can do that! Those that do, they’ve committed a huge amount of money to get to that point so they truly have faced a big cost for it.
It’s very easy to convince yourself other people have a different experience to yourself, that they have an easier time or something. However, to build a top account in this game you need tens of thousands of gems and there’s no easy way achieve that.
Except that 16 gems is nothing in the current situation. Some events I’m pretty sure many players won’t even touch anymore (i.e. biweekly mission) because to get 2 or 3 gems is just too little compared to what it will get you.
Well, considering that it can cost you around 2k gems to awaken a mythical, at a rate of 2 new mythics per month being released and that shrine will most likely give you around 200 gems every 4 weeks, it does sound like the amount of gems players should get don’t need changing and people are just envious and greedy.
. That’s the disadvantage of being F2P, you gain experience but go through too much trouble for so little.
