Do you feel let down so far by the “revamped” monthly achievements & Arenas

Let me be clear of my intentions here. This is not a complaint fest, but to get general consensus of how players feel the direction the game is going. When they announced the changes they talked about revamping monthlies like it was going to make up for everything. Personally I’m feeling let down. It’s nice to be able to get 5*s from the store. With 3 I was hoping the “revamping” meant we were going to get more bot chips, doesn’t look like it. I play many hours, more than most. I find it almost impossible to afford 1 5* let alone 3. Just my honest opinion.

The extreme grind fest is not worth it. Doing 1.5 mil points at least for me equals 2 series of 90 fights. That's 180 fights or 4 hours of playing, for 10k bot chips. Just got 2 away missions where I've done nothing and got the same amount of chips. So yeah, arena rewards needs to be at least doubled.
So, so, so true.
@ktomov hit the nail on the head perfectly.
The total (w/o rank rewards) of bot shards this week is 94.5K.
And the new 5* bots in the event store, are 1M EACH.
WTF.
Even if they double the chips in 2 weeks.
Good luck!
The only reasonable way to do it, is aiming at 3m chips in two months. Otherwise it's 2.4m chips (29 obj completed) for two random programs.
the new monthly changes is great for upcoming players because it's not hard to hit the 16 objective with the many different ways and earn a 4* sig unlock. this will help them speed up the 4* L&R process. man, this would have been super helpful for me a month or two ago.
did they change the rewards/milestones to the Arenas? I know they said they have changes in store but it looks the same to me..though I don't really track it closely.
This.
Meanwhile the captain is yelling encouraging things at us from inside the last life boat as he's lowering it down to the water about what a great job we're all doing and telling us to ignore the sluggish steering and the sounds of rushing seawater filling all the compartments.
Captain (rowing away): "And help yourselves to the caviar and champagne down in the dining room, boys! All you can eat!"
Well, last active Jan 15. Maybe he's on vacation or something?
Edit: Just don't go and look at the activity in the other forums....
Looks pretty active on the "other" game.
This GAME seems to be Hamlet: The Return
"To be, or not to be"
"To pay, or not to pay, that is the question"
A very simple question actually
They could at least double or triple rewards least enjoy the grind before the game dies
Yeah, like what Tranformers Battle Tactics did before it died. I had almost every character in the roster because the last 60 days (I think) was just fun grinding.
This goes against the founding credo laid out by the whale dairy farmer's association: Mulgeatis et Aridam or if'n you don't speaks the Latin, "Milk'em Dry!!"
I'm a grinder and sometimes I spent money, but not much. The issue here is that the objectives are impossible to be done, even if you're saving tons of crystals. How the hell are we supposed to get 3 303 000 bot chips in a month to do all the objectives. Even if you're whale and getting King Grimlock's royal booty, that's still just 57 500 chips. Just for the sake of what impossible target this is - this means you have to get cthis royal offer 57.4 times. Make it 58 * 105 euro = 6090.
Now that's just money, fine. But even if you're grinding, you have to invest much, by much I mean pretty much and I'll explain myself in the next couple of lines:
I've been playing since end of May, have spend small amount, but I've played the game every day. By played - I've spent around 7 hours a day (by google's Wellbeing). In that time I've managed to progress, upgrade and get almost every bot in the game. This being said, now I have to say that I've made a pretty good roster. This month is the first time I hit the 1 million bot chips. What's wrong? I've spend 8 months playing this game. Grinded everything possible of it, managed to master the spotlight, but you know what? I CAN'T for the love of god think of managing 3 million shards with that kind of rewards system.
Now don't get me wrong. I know that there are better players. I know that there are players that have been here for the last 2 years and they have the squad to push for 2 million mark, but 3 mil looks impossible, even if you grind the F out of the game.
Now on the objectives - I'm pretty sure, Kabam's idea is to get just one bot a month we want and probably try to dupe it, but that's the other problem - you can't if you're not saving your chips for 2 months. First 5* is 1 000 000, the second 1 400 000. How the hell I'm supposed to get 2 400 000 chips, with top arena rewards for a day being 15 000?
Disclaimer: That's not a rant Kabam's mod, that is just constructive criticism. Dunno how your math turned out, but for me - you want your players to play 20/24 to get something in the game, which is not gonna happen. Also with the resent announcements - they aren't going to pay for the deals.
So either you make the game targets achievable or look how the boat sink.
We need all bot chip modes tripled!!!
Mate, is not about what I can do and what I can't do. It's about changed milestones and lost rewards in the process. I'm not whining because I can't hit a certain milestone. I'm just expressing my opinion of what is possible and what's not in the game in its current state. Surely you'll agree that a "rare" away mission that gives 4900 shards, doing nothing for 3 hours is better than fighting 4 hours to get the same amount. Yes?
Also there are certain bots that without their signature abilities are simply nothing, but with sig, they're game changer. Can you grind 2 400 000 shards in a month?
At this point I'm saving all my shards for next month and will be doing this till the bot I want is in there. And will probably do it for the next month also. Will get the needed for the bot I want, but in the meantime I could very well just open the game once a day and just get the calendar rewards and do 3 raids.
Arena is what my progress is bound to and this kind of arena rewards are simply a spit in the grinder's face.
Think about it in terms of dollars and cents. Kabam doesn't make money off arena grinders. They do make money off people buying Grims and popping whale crystals in hopes of getting the monthly 5*s.
