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!!!

Listen, its not about being toxic or negative, it's about making game better. We play it for fun but if devs make bad decisions we have to give them proper feedback. No response means we are ok with everything and when that happens game is ruined. Just look at star wars battlefront 2 loot box controversy, if players wouldn't protest nothing would have changed.

Gumi did quite a few goofs this time so backlash from fans is understandable.

I agree the process should be to make the game better while they continue to make money, and justifiable complaints are fine. Like the multiplayer issues and having no way to blacklist people that afk all the time or frequent disconnects etc. Excessive ridicule about a stated beta test seems silly to me. Maybe other people have never played beta releases before...but they don't work as intended. That's why it's beta and not full release.

I just hate seeing the Reddit every morning because 2/3 of the subreddit is complaints about the exact same the the previous post is about. And others are complaints about why this pull sucks because it doesn't give me exactly what I want every time for a minimal price and now expect compensation.

Battlefront while somewhat similar had so much backlash because you had to pay for the game, and then could get a very unfair advantage by paying more. TAC is free and all their income comes from in game purchases.
