4 Star "Deals"

Ok, so up until yesterday was the overpriced "deal" for a 4* Dinobot and enough resources to awaken his sig and rank him up to 3/30 for $50. Now, the "deal" Kabam is offering is only the awakening/upgrade programs to awaken a 4* and level up sig to 5--for the exact same price! Am I the only one that thinks some "deal" like this is making Kabam come off as a little too desperate to get into everyone's wallets?

To me its as desperate and annoying as the bum hanging out at Walmart with a dirty rag and even dirtier water offering to wash all of your car windows for a few bucks, and then begs to wash just one window for the same amount of money when you say no the first time.

Kabam, you've always been hit-or-miss with your deals in the past, but lately, except for that recent gold deal I think, you've been striking out.

    The first deal was restricted to a tactician bot, resources and awakening program.

    The current deal allows you the freedom to select which class you want to awaken. There's a premium price associated with having that flexibility.

    it could be a sign 5*s are coming very very soon.. hence why Kabam is pushing 4* deals like crazyy now. Just a speculation I could be wrong.

    Fifty was a good deal for two 4 star tacticians.

    Let's do some math. If you want to dupe a 4* bot of your choice, with 2500 energon you have 1/29 (total bots=33, but Hound, OPL and OG Megs aren't in the normal pool and Newbee isn't in any pool). With this free awakening program you have 100% chance do to that, even for those who aren't in the pool, even for Newbee.

    Free?? It’s $70 in my currency.

    they had a deal not long ago where you could choose the class and get the awakening program + 4 sig programs for the price of £28.99 though, so this is definitely inflated.

    What are everyone’s thoughts on the MV1 Optimus Prime deal?

    Wasn’t there a awaking program with the Dinobot offer? Anyways as for the deal for MV Optimus, last time I saw him in the store I believe it was 99.99. But that was awhile ago. So not bad if you ‘really’ want him.

    I guess kabam’s is not so creative when it comes to sales. People will buy only when they get the worth of what they pay. They are coming out with so not attractive offers! Kabam needs to work a lot on their sales part. They need to understand what their market needs.

    My thoughts... Considering how sought after Mv1 is, it's a good deal.

    However... The optics look bad after the incredible deal they put out on Dinobot (needed extra stuff because people don't rate him highly).


    If I were running Kabam, I woulda been a dirtball salesman and chosen to put these offers out in the following order instead...all $50:

    1) Awakening program
    2) Mv1
    3) Outstanding dinobot deal


    I would do this for two reasons:

    1) it wouldn't look like they are offering "less for more" in succession with each offer.

    2) they would have easily made more money as a result.
  • DaveJLDaveJL Posts: 1,779
    MV1 is more sought after and probably better, so they can charge the same and give you less.

    Stores do this all of the time, etc.

    Because it's been around way longer than this game. They are at 6* champs now

    ...6 Stars are why I went from Whale to FTP and eventually left MCOC entirely.

    It’s $70 in my currency... no way am I spending that kind of money on a game which just crashed twice in one raid :|

    Because 4*s still require a significant time sink to hit R5. When R5s start growing on trees that's when 5*s will hit. I seriously doubt this game will last that long.

    But there’s not bot with it. Any awakening gem with 4 added sig levels is not worth $50, unless it had a bot /4* crystal that gave 250k gold and some premium crystals. They should just add on so that it feels like spend $50 was worth it.
