Why this game will ultimately fail

Mon Apr 10, 2017 3:23 am

Hi everyone,

My biggest regret in this game is to have invested so much money in a game which I believed had potential. At first, I spent to support the local developers, but it was indeed a bad call from my part. 

P2W - Pay to get screwed.
It is either you pay all the way to the highest prestige level or you don't pay at all. If you are in the middle like me at level 8. You are completely swindled and scammed as the rewards do not give you an ounce of advantage over non-paying players. The equip rewards are a joke as they can never match up to heirloom sets. 

Valiant Hero - Lucille
The MVP for being the most useless hero ever. Lets be honest, the only time the skill is useful is when you want to fight against a difficult boss. Capitol Legendary Stage boss comes out on round 8 when Lucille can only use the skill on round 8. The boss appears on round 8 and wipe your team before lucille can even do shit. If you are saying that my team is too weak, then again, what is the point of Lucille if it is not to be used with a weak team? (I mean duh, obviously a team of attackers would be ideal). 

Worst RNG System
I have done 25 10x summons to date and besides 1 faye, 1 ronan, 1 vincent, 3 cybella and 2 nadias. The rest of the 3* potentials I had were theresas/luthors/kahunas/zeds/izumis. It is a joke that RNG gives me so much cleric that my adventurer can just turn into a fking cleric himself. (Not to mention there are faiths to be changed with the valianites). 

Some of you might say this is not too bad. Well it isn't if no money was spent. I seriously wasn't expecting this level of crap when I spent over $100. But still, it could form a decent trigger team with the heroes I had. However, this is not the best part.

Lack of usable equips
Either you get sets or you are screwed. You can make 5* weapons but not 5* equips that complete the set. This is a joke to be honest. Basically, if I cannot farm equip sets or heirloom sets, I am stuck in a loop. I can't clear legendary events or complete those seasonal events. Even if you happen to get an equip set (e.g. from prestige), you are still screwed if the suffix is wrong. If the suffix of the equip is wrong, there is no point in upgrading them as the stats are useless if they are mismatched.

Non-existent Mid Progression
I joined at a bad time which the heirloom sets for damage dealers were over. The past events were for assassins/clerics/defenders/guardians. Well, I do try to get those sets as well but the RNG was such a joke as well. It became even better with the increased cost and the ever shit RNG. Lets be honest, so what if there are increased rates of 3* equips being dropped? They are food for enhancement right? What good is fodder when there is not even any equips available to enhance? 

Summoner Heroes
The arrival of these heroes just made my hard work go down the drain. While people are farming for those heroes, I am stuck at lower stages which I can barely complete. 

Runes
If you have followed this far, you would realise I cannot complete Capitol Legendary Stage. This means I am unable to secure a decent amount of 3* runes. I thought it would be okay if I exchanged for 2 - 5* runes in the bazaar. LOL. This is something that puzzles me greatly. Why is it so expensive to change for the rune ticket when all it gives are 2* or 3*? I have exchanged over 300 tickets before and I got 1 5* which takes up 3 slots (practically unusable). Well, I understand the rarity of 5*, but seriously 2*? I traded so much tokens to get 2* runes? 

If I could complete legendary, I could easily farm 3-4* runes, why the hell do I need 2*? You are just seriously screwing with players like me.

Conclusion
There is really nothing much I can do. Summons are useless because the Summoner heroes own your ass. Even if I get the heroes, I can't give them decent equips to be useful. I can't secure decent equips because there is no other way besides obtaining a heirloom set. Until a heirloom set comes, there is practically nothing one can do. There is no way to improve or progress even by a single bit. It is an evil cycle. 

That is probably the reason why people quit. You have a good early progression. Then you are screwed in the middle. This game taught me a lesson. Go big or go home. Either you spent enough to reach prestige lvl 15, or you do not spend at all. Valiant heroes are a joke, complexity of getting decent equips is a joke, poor rng for everything is just making a game exhausting and aggravating. There is hardly any satisfaction obtained from the game. 

If I knew if this was that bad, I would have used google play method to get my money back and let them ban my account.

I almost wanted to sympathize with you except you said Lucille is the most useless hero ever.

I totally agree. If your heros cannot even take 1 hit of the legendary capitol boss, then ur team is not up to it. Sorry, even a decent 5* with 4* gears can easily tank 1 hit from the boss, place lucille at the far back and there is no way she will die.
I have my bad experience with capitol even with good 5* and its all because i place them wrongly and use the wrong set of heroes that are residing in my pool. So i believe you just have a wrong set of heroes used for the event.
Let say you only even can farm for 2-3* in heroic capitol, have all 3* is what we are have, i can tell you that good 4* are very hard to come by in capitol, its a chance, but most of the time its not. 
So talk about pulling heroes, i have tons of luthor in my pool and i just leave him there, since you pull so many times, u should have enough valiant currency for a hero selector, think about what you need and select one.
All in all, all i can see in this post is whinning when you only want the good things and dont have to work towards it. Since you say you came at the point when the attacker heirloom over, meaning you just came in a few months back and you wish to already be on par with people that farm for more than 6 months. and yes, unless u pay up to prestige 13, u already have gem advantage over f2p, we f2p have to reserve all the gems and gold we have, while you can spur at 1 point.

About the runes, +15 those 1 dot 2* runes and they are enough to get you through every content with decent 4* equipments.
Even you can complete legendary capitol, its not easy to find full sets of 1 dot 3* and 4* runes.

I am sure everyone here would like to get a Lucille because she is pretty useful.

If you can't finish capitol legendary then do the heroic till you are good enough for legendary. 4 star runes are hard to come by in legendary and getting the right ones is another story. It all boils down to patience.

This game will fail because you did not give any constructive suggestion but only complaints :)

You can't clear legendary capital even with said hero and prestige 8 eq?
You got bad gacha even tho you got vince, faye, nadia, ronan and cybella? My old self who use full max *4 squad with 1 Kane + 1 ally will cry upon reading this.
You got useless *5 equip with no complete set eventhough they revamped it so it can still have bonus stats with only 2 pcs?
And Lucille is USELESS? Blasphemy!

Well i always see people like you in every gacha games i played. I stopped taking this seriously when i read the part where you can't clear capital legend with that decent resource.
Even my friend who is inactive AF with bad hero draw, bad resource management (Jumbled equip sets, wrong rune placement, horrible faith and wrong hero priority) and no money spent can clear it with a bit of guidance.

Don't blame the game. Instead you should find a guild or community that can help you manage your units and guide you through.

I only agree about the summoner part. Yes, it's killing the arena with the same boring comp everywhere.

A little tips for you, bring leon zealot to pull the boss closer to your squad on legend capital, and use faye's shield before the boss spawn to mitigate his first strike upon spawning (Yeah need to time it correctly)

I'm not gonna lie, I had like 3 full grid of 2* +15 attack runes, And i use them until i can get another 3 full grid of 3* with a mix of 4* attack rune.
You see, the rune upgrade is not as bad as you see, a full 2* +15 attack runes nets you a 950 attack & extra 20% base attack (white stat).
I DO NOT think the rune system is bad.

Lucille, LOL-ed alot man, yes, not every hero can be useful all FOUR jobs, but Lucille is one-in-kind for her Party Invulnerable Shield for 2 turns. The CD makes her ideal for PVE content, I dont know why you complained about it just because you couldnt clear Capitol 3 'easily'.

This guy just basically think that you can get everything by money-- not by the time you spent playing this game.

"I-I spent $100 for heroes but I didn't get any equipment and runes."
Screw that, I can even clear any legendary event with 4* equip from the story maps and 5* from armorsmith with your current heroes (1 faye, 1 ronan, 1 vincent, 3 cybella, 2 nadia, ronan), and some 2* runes (+15). Don't go the 1slotted rune if you don't want to spend your resources.

"But why should I spent money to upgrade lower class equipment you dumbshit"
What? You expect to get full 6* equipment with 5* set runes on 1-2 month playing?
