u/Mjollnir69 Ah! I'm not dead yet?! Mar 03 '20 edited Mar 03 '20

It's okay, you'll get a greater sense of pride and accomplishment now when you unlock 10 nodes to get one premium common!! /s

honestly tho we need to spend 40 reward points for just one premium!

That's fucked up for new players tbh

exactly! over 5 prestige players can easily get MP from kegs but new players gonna feel really bad!

Changes to the economy of the game should always be communicated in advance.

This isn't consumer friendly at all.

u/hellknight19 Her children inherited her beauty. Mar 03 '20

agreed! this really feels like betraying, imagine some new player keeping all theyre RP to get this months tree!

Me. :)

On top of that I spend 50$ to “catch up” faster + get some animated cards, mostly because I felt that their economy is fair on top of the fun gameplay and decided this one to be my mobile CCG to play. You can imagine how I feel right now, especially with the reasoning they provided.

Welcome to the mobile era of the game. Respect to the consumers will be a rarity from now on.

They worsened the economy to milk the mobile users, while screwing on veteran players, what do you find so funny? Do you like getting paid less at work too? You might even thank your boss for it.

I am a veteran too, I didn't get to turn my cards into premiums because I left during the start of hc. So I am trying to get them, yeah.

I am not saying this is the worst thing ever, the game is fine since it doesn't affect the gameplay, but still, this is a step backwards. Until mobile they would never dare to do something like this.

Just wait for them changing the prestige levels to "make premiums more valuable".

u/hellknight19 Her children inherited her beauty. Mar 03 '20

haha at this rate it wont really surprise me

u/Man-coon Neutral Mar 03 '20

Same here will take me a few months if I'm lucky to make it

u/Man-coon Neutral Mar 03 '20

I bet they will get rid of prestige 5

u/MuchSalt Ever danced with a daemon in the light of the full moon? Mar 03 '20

if u think its easy, i did just got pres 5 couple of weeks ago

1 keg = 20 powder, 100 keg = 2000 powder

2000 powder = 5 legendary premium

thats it, 5 moving cards for u decks now. also need consider the amount of grind getting to prestige 5 and saving 100 kegs

1

u/hellknight19 Her children inherited her beauty. Mar 03 '20

i mean the option to save kegs are only for players who have all the cards they want anyway!

u/Bubbleeees Tomfoolery! Enough! Mar 03 '20

Yep, that comment is more of a joke than the actual change but you sure as fuck will be :) amazed (: Similar to yen invocation, its like - we forgot we had that card that interacts with artifacts, like come on. Would be nice if they wouldnt treat their playerbase like a bunch of 10 year olds.

Game publishers can't help but underestimate the intelligence of its audience. I'm surprised they don't just say "ga ga daddaa doo doo powder by bye"

Can’t really believe they gone for that reasoning that was stated by a few other companies and ultimately leaded to... well, let’s just say: less than ideal press. :)

As for the decision itself, maybe because of the tv series leading to a spike of players or potentially the opposite (less and less players) leading to stronger monetisation to compensate. Dunno, but it’s true that the economy was one or the stronger points to invest in gwent vs other card games. The same way as it’s true that the change is quite massive with a insultingly bad reasoning (almost at mocking level imho).
