Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

At least take out the card pricing mins and max in the auction house so the 400 credits from the season rewards MEAN 400 credits, like you said earlier. There is no reason for the mins and max on the auction house at all other than you don't want us competing with the prices of your credit store.


It just feels insulting when you tell us 400 means more than a card because its 400 credits, but then make 400 credits mean nothing by setting high mins on the auction house cards. wtf?

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Through all of the negative reactions of the season rewards, can anyone explain the thought process and the necessary need to dramatically nerf season rewards?

Simple, people were beating star seasons too easily and pocketing 3 stars to sell for on AH.

The players easily winning were the ones who adopted stars first (so we can assume paying customers for the most part).

Those customers were given an upper-hand (rightfully so) by being the first to play star seasons where it was mainly bots. What soon happened is these players realised its easier to smash seasons against all bots to get 3 x rewards.

More rewards = more dupes = more AH sales = no longer needs to be paying customer to get MVP packs = all the truck lineups we see today.

I follow a lot of top star players and even here the feeds are littered with "heres my rewards" (show off 3 stars) so clearly the star seasons arent 'that' hard in CD's eyes. I agree, but damn, i thought they'd just make bots harder or increase the season matchmaking time to make u face more humans lol

So yeah, ultimately its a business and they cant make the game too easy, which it clearly has become for some.

Oh, 3/2 lineups still work though

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Hey the planted forum posters stopped posting after being called out what a surprise!

No, I'm here.
Just lurking like I've always been.

The fact that you think I'm planted by CD and couldn't possibly see this update as a net positive, tells me I shouldn't argue with you.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

This update only benefits you guys. Does not help us out any. You screwed up the season rewards by taking cards away from us, didn't listen to us at ALL on the AH, which basically forces us to buy more credits and in the end that takes money from us and puts it into your pocket. Give me ONE reason that this helps us, not including the RttC stuff, but other stuff altogether.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

I just checked out the new update, looks cool. I'm a little upset because in my Star Season I was going to make the Finals no matter what, so now my 2 Stars have turned into 1. I might as well just tank in the semifinals, get my Star and get out.

That is fine...always thought 3 stars was too much. Make it 2 stars and credits, not sure how many.

But WHY screw over the little guys in the lower tiers too?

I went from getting 2 Legendary cards for finishing second in my season to getting 1 Legend and 60 credits because my season took 3 hours too many. How does that help anything?

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Here are my thoughts

1) DJase, the chronic rager is at it again, threatening to quit, which I found to be hilarious

2) What CD has done, from their perspective, is smart. They've made it harder to get to the top tier of cards, making you either grind forever, or making you spend more money to achieve having all the star pro's you could want.

Additionally, they did give us what they wanted. We got season credits, we got the AH, a new game mode to get rewards. They just did it in a way that still allows them to make money. It can't be stressed enough that they are a business, and like any other business, if they aren't making money, they cannot survive.

The loudest statement that the players can make right now is to not spend any money. Especially some of the top players who I imagine have spent thousand's on this game (and probably paid for all of CD's kids college tuition by now).

We all played this game, and asked for the changes that they gave to us (how beneficial these are to us as players is a whole different discussion), but the changes were given to us, so that we could theoretically get what we wanted, and for CD to continue making money.

Just my thoughts.

I wasn't arguing anything bud. You certainly changed my mind though wow! Of course just a lurker.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Guys you do know that season rewards aren't waht matter....400 credits CAN make a lot if they jsut TAKE OUT THE MINS AND MAX if the auction house.

They aren't letting US set the market...cause they don't wanna change their credit prices.

Those card values are all speculative though. 400 Credits is 400 Credits. Credits have a flexibility that cards simply do not. Players wanted more ways to win free Credits, so we gave it to you.

This MEANS CRAP, if you don't let us set the market for the auction house. 400 has NO FLEXIBILITY.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

I'm not going to make changes based on feedback after the first hour, no. We will look at the data and feedback from the next several days/weeks and adjust accordingly as we have always done. We just turned on the new features and changes. We're not going to knee jerk react. If we didn't believe in the changes we wouldn't have made them.

First of. Kudos for standing up here if that is correct english.


I like the new event danan. I like the Design, the ui looks great. I would love to dive into it, figure out strategies. But this rewards thing really poisened the Water. Please take this reaction from us serious. Not everyone is trolling here. There have been some serious posts from some pretty decent guys like Chris who should be one of your top customers. Please don't account this to a momentary upsetness. Once my upsetness will die down I will probably loose my last affection for this really good game.

I work in IT too. I am a Business Analyst for a Company in financiell services. I most certainly don't want to lecture you on customer Relations. You are my Senior by Age and Position.But take this as an example for what I mean.

Our customers are our colleagues that use our in house developed crm System for example. We once added a minor adjustment to the way customers are beeing presented in the gui. A developer proposed it and we all thought it little effort big reward. So we threw it into a Release. Our Liaison from Operations was thrilled and greenlighted it. Well. Lets just say the average Operation guy wasn't so thrilled as our little tweak in the gui took away a certain standard gothrough for guys talking to customers on the phone in our Service Division. If only we hotfixed it immidiately. We all knew at once we made a mistake. We lost some trust there. The operations Liaison was more clever than we were. 30 mins in He sent an Email to people "I will bring the old stuff back. You can trust in me "... 😁 😁 😁

Just give us a sign that you will listen. Obviously you will always have someone not happy with a change. But Hey. It's pretty obvious we are an overwhelming majority here.
