Good Job PB!

Just when it seems you couldn’t get any more sadistic with the timing of FTN you manage to out do yourselves once again. You drop a level cap increase on most servers which has everyone who had been stockpiling energy, diamonds and other resources into getting up to that cap and then this…

And once again the biggest criticism is giving away resources which can’t be normally obtained to those who rank highest in the event by let’s face it dropping the most money. 150 Miguel chips for 1st place. That is essential saying to whoever wins gets a 4 or 5 star hero whereas that hero for most everyone else will only be as high as 2 to possibly 3 stars.

Doing this with Aladdin was bad enough but Miguel is straight up the strongest defensive support aside from maybe Flynn against high control compositions. His kit is incrediblly overloaded as is and giving one of the newest, strongest heroes in the game at a level to which no one will be able to match for quite some time, is not only unequivocally immoral, but imo just a straight up idiotic move. You also seem to have tweaked the scoring, again, this time very ever so slightly to make it a touch easier. Stamina now giving 36 points as opposed to the 35 last time.

I am in absolute disbelief at the whole situation. I love this game but if you keep ham fisting a pay 2 win event at every point and turn where people have just consumed massive piles of resources, it will start to wear away at people more than it already has.

Please PB be better than this. Perhaps that’s too idealistic of me but I so want this game to succeed and I don’t see this being the path to do so. At least not in the long run.

It would be better to have an FtN Contest at least every 1-2 months. I don’t even try them anymore.

I don’t understand why people complain about these contest. These are strictly for the whales. Why even try to compete? Just play the game as normal. At the end of the contest Youmay get lucky and end up with atleast the 50% reward for doing nothing.

“At least 50% reward for doing nothing”.

Not true, if you do basically nothing. AKA not spend, you might get the first threshold reward - nothing more.

My main disappointment is I would love to participate in every event, but I really can’t here. I pay for the daily deal but even that is unlikely to get me to the 2nd tier reward.

The disk power event was awesome, as it got us playing. I’ve love another one of those.

I’m referring to the top 50% rank reward you get at the end of the contest. Im on server 3, and I only played one day during a fortify contest and still got the “top 50%”, bonus, which in this case is 300k.

I don’t disagree, there are other contest they can do that are much better. And the friendship disk power one you are referring to was my of my favorites also, but let’s be honest here. There are people on every sever who spend tons of money on these Types of contest for some reason. If those people continue to spend, Pb for sure is going to keep throwing this contest in once every month.

Ahh right, sorry for misunderstanding. Yes as long as we are active we can take care of that reward as well.

It is nice we can get something out of it by being active I guess, it’s not a total lost cause.

I take issue with the event because of the downright greedy times they have these events now. The one before this was after a week of events with the Pirates Crew and now this one after people spent all their resources for new TL caps. I also don’t like these events becausse they give you a feeling of uselessness. I’m sure I’m not the only one to think like this but I like to complete the event and not necessarily go for the rank rewards.

Every event in one form or another with the rank rewards it will be those who spend money who get the highest ones. However most every event can be completed with the right preparation the nigbt before. This being the exception more often than not. You need to spend some combination of 13k diamonds and 27k stamina just to complete the event. Not to rank in it, to COMPLETE it. These events only exist to tease the rewards you could get. Not because you aren’t good enough at the game, but because you don’t spend enough money.

It is ridiculous and it has only gotten worse and worse as time has gone on. Next thing you know there will be a FTN month where every week is FTN and no fun events to be had. It is anti-consumer at it’s core and especially devious when this game, simply because it has Disney in the title will be marketed towards kids.

We have a right to call out the devs on this abhorrent “content” but until this event becomes a loss it will stick around which is the worst part of this event. It isn’t going anywhere. I will make a post everytime this event comes up and voice my frustration with the treatment of it’s licenses and it’s abuse of mechanics for money.

Perblue, is secretly…EA! just think ABOUT it! The ads where you have to pay money are everywhere!

Tbh, i think they should improve the rank rewards (and maybe extend it to top 30 or something) and decrease the progress rewards. At time same time, make the progress rewards more easily achievable. That way, non-paying players will still participate and increase activity during the contest. At the same time, whales will be more willing to fork out more for the rank rewards.

Cos think about it for a sec. Non-paying players are never gonna get the ranked rewards. So they won’t bother trying. And whales are gonna always get the completion rewards so they are not even gonna bother with that as well. So why not make it so that everyone wins.

Non-paying will get completion rewards. Whales will fork out more and fight over the top ranks. And PerBlue will get the whale’s money as well as non-payer’s activity. And to top it all off, there will be less complaints.
