Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Fine that don't use minimums...use average. The average price for a Star card on AH is at or around 5000. Even if you consider the ones that don't sell (and we haven't even considered into the selling for below minimum trick), the Davis', Shaq's, and Robinson's of the world all sell for far above the minimum and can bring that average back close to 5000. To be safe, let's arrive at $4000 per. Therefore, because you took two chances away, we can assume you lost an expected value of 2 * 4000 * 30%. Done. It's not hard to speculate if you use simple statistics.

This is a money grab, plain and simple. The time required to progress beyond Epic just became like 10x longer, which will force more impulse purchases by people frustrated that they cannot even get into seasons that reward Legendary/Star cards and they cannot get Legendary/Star rewards from RTTP because they don't already have 25 cards in those tiers.

By cutting rewards by 2/3, it also forces people to make pro versions of cards by going to the AH, which means more credit purchases (and a 30% sink to ensure that the market never stabilizes).

Do you REALLY believe he's gonna believe you?

I'm not trying to change belief. Just stating the facts. People are going to believe or feel what they want. That's valid, and although I know lots of people are expressing angry feelings right now, I do appreciate the responses. People are passionate about the game, so am I. I think the changes we made in the update are good for the game. Some don't. We'll agree to disagree and see how it plays out. We're not opposed to making changes, but facts right now are what I've stated.

The bolded is completely unture. The new game mode will allow to to catch up just a quick if not quicker. Between RC and the new RTTC you will have a shot and a Legendary or Star card weekly along with the seasons

If you invest a lot of $$$$$
Cause everybody will get the same opponents - so how should we compete with a Legend QG LU?

Bull$hit. I put in all my available time in the last RC and ended up with a single Legendary card (37 points out of getting 2x which at least would have resulted in a pro version once I grinded). There's no way I'm getting a star card from Rivals Clash without dropping more money for boosts than I would have to pay just to buy an MVP/HoF pack outright.

Further, the RTTP isn't going to give star rewards to someone who doesn't even have a single star level card. It takes 25 cards, and to work your way up to star level rewards is going to require way more than the 5 Legendary cards I have (2 PFs, 1 PG, 2 Cs) that can't even make a proper lineup.

Wow. So now just winning one round in the Playoffs nets you the max amount of Star cards? That's kind of harsh. 400 credits = 2 star cards.

After this pan out, is there any possible chance of us getting the "old" rewards back?

If no, then why not?

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

It's not so much the change as such. But the way you refuse to listen to your User base.

Please clarify. You are not going to consider a change from the reaction your customers just gave you. Correct danan?

RTTC will play out just like RTG which means you should be bale to reach the tier above the one your in by playing the +2 matches. Sure it takes a little more time but hey the idea is to prolong the game not have everyone have all the best cards right away.

This is an artificial way to prolong the game. Adding content prolongs the game. This is the lazy way to make the game longer.

Maybe you should state some of your beliefs and reasoning then instead of just saying what the facts are...we care more about your reasoning.

* Why pay 30% tax in the auction house?

* Why have the difference between quarterfinals and finals be such a small amount?

etc...

Be more transparent.

I was already bumping into difficulty improving my deck tier before this gigantic nerf. This will only make it basically impossible unless I want to give them hundreds of dollars, instead of merely grindy for a few months.

Everyone does not get the same opponents. If your lineup is the the Epic Tier you should be able to get the Legendary reward. Yes you will most likely have to play the +2 games to finish it off but it can be done.
