View Full Version : Why is it like this?

Why are the tier points so high? 16k for tiers that reset weekly is crazy. Why are the set prices so expensive? 5k per piece? Its gonna take nearly 300 runs of all syrillax encounters to even get ONE piece of vanity. It's like the devs just gave up on events being fun and just out right trying to squeeze as much money from people as possible. I get that they have maintenance costs and need to make money, but damn this is too much. Events used to be fun and a good way for newer players to get decent, now its just a sad reminder of what we used to have.

For a long time now they have been testing pretty much everything they can on the game to see how to get ppl to play more/ pay more/get less outta the game but still play.
Started being obvious a few years ago when someone came along and started nerfing everything good about the game. I seriously wonder if they are making a new game and just trying to kill this one off because it's spent. Or makes you wonder who all own this game because it's not ran the same way as it was just a few years ago.

Ikr, it’s Sunday and my alts are still below bronze level. Farm energy to farm stones to get into brood,meh. Haven’t been in there. Went with my one stone and left because no one joined a map wouldn’t start. But my elixers kept running.

Honestly, with the token drop rates, it's gonna be hard to get players into brood if they want the vanities, which seem nigh impossible to get a set of without grinding 24/7. Seems like they want players to buy the firestones with plat instead.

Don't hate me guys but, I like things hard, and in online games mmorpg RNG and all its hard, you can play mmo, mmorpgs like this and play shooters games, and or mobas too,
Still agree, AL game change free things, farming things, hard for free2play players, but the bills are the answer-

In my opinion, there are too many new implementations, while the old implementations are not necessarily bad.

Meanwhile, according to many people, the old one was more fun, like the brood map which used to have a time period. But now it doesn't and it takes a lot of tokens

Even now some of the maps for farming Essen energy have been nerfed

I don't know why they did this but at a time when people are generally giving things away to say how much they appreciate others it definitely has rubbed people the wrong way. I haven't had enough flame stones just farming to actually run an elixir out. It's ridiculous.

I haven't even reached halfway to gold tier yet despite using up nearly 100 energy, only at about 3k lmao

The problem it's that your first 400 runs are gonna be with no loot guaranteed

The game has elite maps for players who need a hard challenge. Events should be played by all. When I look at who is online, they are running other maps or chatting in the guild hall, not the event.

Events lost me the moment they made lb something purchasable by giving points for locks. Why bother running for lb when someone cn run half the amount n just open locks
When you finally get to gold and thinking points are gonna come faster
You realize the chance for syrillax is still same as silver 1 in 10 lol
its almost like they think getting 10k points will be too easy with more syrillax

Only visit the game several minutes and not interested, it is like they are milking your plat for the lb/higher tier, bcs the gameplay isnt as fun as before. Better spend my money in a competitive Moba game

A good challenge is welcome, but when its like this where you need over 500 runs to even get to plat and only get a *chance* to loot something half-decent while the rest are locked away in locked crates, not to mention you need an elixir thats only obtainable once for free (that I know of) and the rest you have to buy with gold from plat buyers, it really drives the nail into the coffin of AL imo.

I think 16k points is not hard. Considering rewards for week 1 platinum teir are over 50m if you decide to sell. Everything cant be handed to you. I almost picture alot of you guys still get the airplane spoon treatment when you're fed, but idk i could be wrong. Personally, my mother stopped the treatment when I was 12, so that was long long ago and I can now say I feed myself without missing my mouth almost 100% of the time

Have been playing for 8 years now. I've had my fair share of grinding like hell for events, this one just stood out way too much for me. 10 plat elixir for 10 mins? Barely any tokens dropping in normal event runs, so you can't even buy a full set of the vanities before it changes weekly, not to mention the recipes.

Maybe more people get the food plane to mouth treatment than I think

The 10 min elixir is what killed it.
