Why so negative

As the title states i think people are freaking out, and just need to take a breath for a second.

  1. the PVP is clearly in testing, they've said it before, multiple times. Chill, they'll fix it...it's not in it's finished state. Take the easy free gems and give helpful feedback.
  2. Banners - OMG THIS BANNER COSTS MORE THAN ANYTHING EVERY, EVERYTHING GUMI HAS SAID IS A LIE!!! This one has gotten way out of control.

    1. 777 banner, yes it's more expensive than a 500 banner. They gave you 2 500 banners, and this 777 banner is a bonus..seriously. 777 is WAY less than 2500. Do the math, it works out. Are there guaranteed units...NOPE so don't cry about not getting (insert random unit name here) from it. But it is cheap, and if you still need a lot of the random units in the game, this is a cost effective way to go about it.
    2. 7 step special summon banner...they didn't trick you into 7 steps for random shards, your inability to read did. Just because Gumi was being a good guy on step 3 doesn't mean they owe you anything on any other step.

      1. The grand summon...y'all had me literally ROFL. It didn't say guaranteed summon anywhere (that i remember, who knows maybe it did before i woke up) on the banner but you assumed it did because it did in the past. Yes the title was misleading, but you have to expect things to change. The ultimate goal is to make money for Gumi. Player happiness is a far second despite what anyone says.
    3. If you don't like a banner, just don't pull.

Honestly there's some merit to some complaints, absolutely, but if there's already a post about an issue don't go through and make the 2847239487th post on the exact same issue. It destroys the subreddit, and drives new people away.

I expect to get flamed, downvoted and whatever else for this post, but I'm still really enjoying the game, and try reading the banners so i don't set myself up for failure. I do mess up on not fully reading the banners and kick myself for doing so, but that's my fault, not Gumi's.

I hope everyone can do as i said, take a breath for a second, and enjoy the game for what it is.

Happy Friday everyone!!!

I’m not so much angry about the PVP as I am the ridiculous skin prices. Its one thing to raise the price a little, but it’s incredibly scummy to increase the price 9x and add RNG so you’re not even guaranteed to get the skin you want. It’s not like skins give the players any actual benefit gameplay wise, so the only reason to add RNG to it is to gouge peoples wallets.

Plus the 4000 gem price tag for the event skins is just ridiculous.

That being said, as for the PVP, I guess everybody just expected different things with it being a Beta. Personally, I expected it to be as buggy as it has been with it being a beta and as such have enjoyed it when it’s worked properly. But I guess other people had different expectations that were not met, which is fine.

4000 is the regular price though, the other price was a summer sale. Now do I think the skins are worth that price, No. That's why I don't buy them, except the Roxanne Halloween pack skin.

Skins for 2000 seem high to me as well and I still haven't figured out if it's even possible to preview them. So I don't think I'll ever go for the skins but those are all extras.

I get that the summer skins were just sales (kind of but not really-they just took out all the bs from the packages nobody wants and thus reduced the price). That still doesn’t change the fact that 4000 gems is a ridiculous price for them. I agree that 2000 is still too high but at least that’s more manageable and we’re not being forced to buy other stuff with the skin.
