Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Lol, thats arguing that its fine for trucks to keep being trucks without spending actual money themselves and pass the cost on to lower level players. Nice.

Like i said, i was a paying player but since seasons were so easy i stopped. They probably don't like that regardless of how you justify who bares the cost of credits.

Those who pay always had the upper hand (and rightfully). Pro MVPs are unbeatable for free players.

If NWGameDad considers this a "good day", I'd hate to see what a bad day looks like to him

Agreed. In fact i said the same first sentence in my other post.

What im trying to explain to you guys is CD wants those players to KEEP paying.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

One additional thing what I just read - the draft board resets are related to the tier you play in the RTTC.
Is that a joke?

My QG LU is Legendary, as I just started the game. My RTTC LU is Epic+, if I would now play the RTTC it would reset my counter if I draft an Epic?

That is punishing new players, we won't be able to have 25 super strong cards. And storing picks is not possible without restarting the app every time.

That's the last straw!

Where did you see that? Must have missed it because of the tears in my eyes

They'll keep spending regardless. They'll spend for packs anyway and they'll spend on RC. Ask the top players and they'll all probably tell you they spend more now than ever. Oh, and now HOF > MVP, so there's more to go after. Soon, Playoff cards will take over. The more you get lower level players paying, the more faster you make money. Virtual economies work very similar to real economies.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

If they wanted to nerf the rewards they should be like this,
Only doing star tier for now:

First Round: 2 Legendaries, 0 credits
Semi-Finals: 1 Star, 1 Legendary 100 credits
Finals Runner up: 2 Stars, 200 credits
Finals Winner: 2 Stars, 400 credits

Again these changes are minor, but it keeps an incentive to always want to win vs. tanking. Competitiveness is an important aspect in keeping competitive and fun seasons.

I'd also want to know if that's true. I'm at 271 boards right now in star tier and waiting for my first star reset. About 2 hours ago I got a leg card. If that was my reset because in RTTC I'm in leg+ tier I'd be madly pissed off!

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Let me join the fun, the new season rewards for lower seasons (in in epic) is stupid now. The qg resets needed to be lowered with the extra cards added previously and now the chance to get a card in the tier below the reset needs to be greatly increased to make up for the smaller opportunity to get dupes from seasons. I'm going to hang around long enough to finish my current season and to play rttc once and then I'm done unless changes are made. Cd won't care, I never spent money on the game, and it was never going to hold my attention for too long but I was enjoying slowly moving up the ranks (about to move into leg qgs, just waiting on my epic reset)

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

+1 for bad seasons rewards change.
+1 for overall bad update

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Nope...star and 150 credits. That is all. Great plan!

I am stuck in Legendary tier, but my season reward for winning is a star card and 150 credits. Is my motivation to move up to a Star season really only 250 additional credits and no additional star card? People are going to be bailing from Star back to Legendary. The actuarial at CD should be fired after this debacle. No need for me to buy any more packs since Legendary is the new best season!

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

The biggest problem with this app the entire time has always been the customer service aspect of it. Star Season (and other tiers) rewards are too good? Fine, then nerf them and explain why it was too much and caused players at the top to advance too quickly so the rewards are scaled down to even out the progression at all levels. Don't make some passive-aggressive comment about how all the players were clammering for free credits so you're doing them a favor with this change. And don't even pretend that the 400 credits are equivalent with 2 star cards. Admit that the rewards were too much and you are trying to scale them down while also infusing credits into the community to grease the AH wheels.


Everything CD does, first of all, generally sucks for the players, but then they wrap everything with a spin of patronizing the players. "Don't worry, this is better for all of you". "There's nothing wrong with the OFF stat, we've studied the distributions and it's fair". There are absolutely problems in this game. That's fine, no one expects a perfect game. But when you pretend like everything is fine and the people asking questions are idiots, that's when you cross a line. People cannot support a game created by a company they despise. I'm not even sure if the hate NWGameDad receives is fair because he's most likely forced to abide by a script the company gives him and he's just a face to company policy, barred from actually speaking his own opinion. If anything, he should be pitied for being placed in the whipping boy position by CD. So it's not a personal sort of hate directed towards him, but that which he is forced to represent, his professional persona so to speak. CD treats us like idiots with money in our pockets, I think most people would agree with that statement.


Honestly, I think this patch as it is could have been made and received decently by the player base if CD was willing to actually explain why they did what they did. Instead they lie and pretend that it's all in the players' best interests when it's so overtly clear how much of a moneygrab it is. We wouldn't have liked them but we would have accepted them. I'm more insulted by the explanations than the changes.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Just got my rewards for 2nd place. I am so glad I got the 60 credits instead of another darn Legendary card. It could have been LeBron or maybe a dupe KD or Westbrook...no way, give me those 60 credits!

Now I can go but a pack, err...Or maybe something on the auction house ....ummm. No, can't do that either??

You can place 3 auctions in AH (which will never sell)...

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

When you factor in that you could sell that extra leg card you would have won, you've lost credits.

Re: Update 6 Release Notes - March 18th

Here's a thought on the Credit's. They will be very helpful in the new RTTC when it comes to needing game nights and or hot steaks.
