Some of those guys spent hundreds of dollars worth of energon to complete the map, and not a peep from Kabam about what they will do about it.
It's not rocket science. Refund the energon. That's what any respectable business in the real world does when they screw up.
Instead we get a crap offer in the energon store and game mail with the word FREE all over it.
Might as well take a dump on a birthday cake and call it icing.
That's what everyone here should think about that offer.
You gotta be kidding me...
3 and 4* crystals are already free. You earn shards for them in free events and for free bots that you forge.
In fact, you cannot buy them. The only way to acquire them IS for free.
So Kabam takes something that is already free and gives it to you for NOT FREE, but they call it "free"
Senseless deals for people with no sense.
I spend, but I only spend when they offer me something exclusive, ultra rare, or % more energon for the same money.
4* crystals aren't that hard to come by, realistically. There's no incentive there.
Now... You offer me a chance at any bot in that 4* crystal that isn't currently on the rotation, you have my attention. Basically, a feature crystal but only with 4* bots.
How about going out on a limb, Kabam, and letting players choose the 3* or 4* they get with their energon deal? Free choice but not free. Let them spend 25% of the energon they would purchase to select their desired Transformer from a list of 3-5 olther bots. Or they could spend 75% of the energon they would get to choose specifically which 3* they can have.
In the case of the $50 purchase, and $100 purchase, I'd say let them choose the one they want. That's a lot of money to drop on a game played on a phone and not get what you want. Everyone understands the chance factor--me especially since I've lived in Las Vegas over 20 years, but its also a game and the purpose of the game is to have fun. Not much fun to be had if you're dropping big bills and you either get bots you don't have any interest in, or worse, get bots you really, really, don't want to have at all. They can be a balance established==I'm not suggesting all the time people get to choose, but for deals like this, you'd have happier players for sure, and maybe more people willing to spend more money for the definite ability to choose their Transformers prize.
for 100$ i would give 3 4* bots for example. now it sounds worth it. 50$ 1 4*, something like that. same with the 3* bots on lesser deals. i bet many will buy the deal i suggested no? this way you actually offer progress. for 1 crystal people won't spend 100$ because in a few days they can create that for free. but 3 crystals? hell that's weeks worth of progress and something to think about. kabam seems to be clueless in sales seriously. they almost never have attractive deals, when they do then it's probably a fluke.
Then again, if I were willing to drop $100 all at once on the game then I'm probably going to be a hardcore p2w player who already has 4* bots, so I have to agree that the price isn't worth it.
this.. they should start selling 4* Megatron /Grimlock/ Shockwave/Prowl/Rachet/MV1 with USD100 bundle (which includes the energon).. would definitely buy it (only pick strong meta characters to bundle please). 4* shards are already farmable and is technically free. What incentive is there to buy them if we can already farm them? And there's always RNG in those 4* crystals.. I'm definitely not gonna pay USD100 to get frustrated at a free spin that lands on a 4* Sideswipe, or worst 4* Arcee!
go back to PC or console gaming then. The culture of mobile gaming is currently this so accept it or just stay away from it. Mobility (able to play anywhere) which is what makes the prices higher than normal.
While I clicked "agree" I kinda hope this doesn't happen, because I'd probably lose $160 (currency conversion)
hope you get a good pull if you're buying it.
Yeah, and I did finally get a 4* Bonecrusher, pretty happy about that. I can get to around 450k over three days, but without spending energon that's about all I have time for sadly.
He means 4* featured, so to speak. As in, a crystal with only 4* bots, but one that includes the latest 4* bots, not just the old faithfuls.
In MCOC they had this for 5* crystals, so I hope it's coming. The system there was that you could buy a standard 5* crystal for 10,000 5* shards, or a featured 5* crystal for 15,000 5* shards (I think).
I remember I found it confusing at first because featured crystals have those unique names, but I could never find anywhere that offered uniquely named shards. Took me two months of playing to realize the 5* featured shards were the same shards as my 5* basic shards. But confusion aside, it's a good way to help advanced players fill out their 4* roster while keeping things relatively obtainable for newer players (I hope this happens before we go toward 5* bots)
I can buy a hooker or blow for 100 bucks as well, doesn't mean it's any better use of money it's all spending money on pleasure items and non essentials.
And as previous posters pointed out it's just adding value to a bundle existing. Don't think anyone would be buying just because they got a 4* crystal.
If you don't think it's worth spending the money then don't simple as any purchase or sale
