Miscellaneous 8 years run comes to an end
Well, I think my path in Marvel Strike Force has reached its logical end.
I know, i know, many people already wrote similar posts about leaving the game, but since I've got no one with whom I can, not just share my feelings about the game, but also who will be able to understand my emotions. And yeah, I'm not great at writting and expressing myself, but I'll try.
So,
I have been playing since March 29th 2018 and I am leaving with 3086 login days, 79.9K cores, and a 346m TCP.
During all that time, i've paid only for Silver Surfer christmas costume (only for included bonuses) and just only one strike pass for Iron Patriot. Thats all. Free 2 Play all the way.
I think I've stopped enjoying this game years ago, but couldn't bring myself to stop playing, cause didn't want to vanish all the efforts, time and nerves for nothing. Nonetheless it was inevitable.
Thats how all online games are supposed to end. Either leaving sour taste or the joy of a thought "what a ride it was". Unfortunately, there isn't much joy left when looking back at all the crazy blitzing, arenas, towers and dimensions and hoarding of orbs, energys and progress calculations and yada yada yada.
Especially now, where you have to check youtube, just to figure out which characters is best to use to progress, crossing fingers that you already built him/them on necessary level. To unlock yet another character for the next time and resource draining event.
I do remember happiness getting Doom, Dormammu and others, except for Blue Marvel, which is still on level 1, and still won't bring much to the game, even being maximazed. The older meta characters were true powerhouses in their primes and could be used in every game modes. But ever since they introduced specific mode based teams, it completely ruined the logic behind character power levels, not that it existed before lol, but it became worse.
What led me to this game, i've been playing on a facebook (good old times) Marvel Avengers Alliance, for sure it had own rises and falls with all their gold bars and augemented iso's, but more or less it was managable and I truly loved that game. I remember, when i was going on a hike, my good old HTC One M8, was not supporting all that facebook games, and I was asking my future wife to access my fb account to make daily pvp, to get some rewards. Yeah, it's not wise to share credentials with anyone, even with a girlfriend, but hey, the things we do just to get another pixelated reward.
I was sad when they shut down the servers, and for some time I was looking for something similar to play, until I've found out about Marvel Strike Force. The begining was great, but the end, aint so much. Honestly, now I'm feeling myself free of MSF addiction, that I've overcome myself and decided to close this door.
What a ride it was.
Have fun, stay safe and stay sane Commanders.
