I wonder why PB is making it HARDER for us to enjoy this game and contest

[Swashbuckler_Gus_Server_14]

So as you all may know every weekend there is some sort of contest that occurs. This week (week for May 3rd) we are getting the City Faire Contest. Below is a screen shot of the event from last month, in April…and compared this screen shot to the current City Faire contest, something is amiss…(the cost of these tokens have considerably cut. So you need to earn more tokens in order to complete the event, which would mean more time on the APP/Platform)

So why does the PB Development team think it’s a smart idea to lower the cost of the tokens? Do they factor in how much time players spend at some of these tasks, everyday. It really takes the fun out of the game. Instead, like what many veteran players have complained about, the game is becoming more and more of CHORE rather than a fun and competitive game. Do I want to spend 15 to 20 of my heists tickets to spend time in heists in order to get the necessary heist tokens needed for this event??

I am frustrated at this attempt by PB to make the contest more cut throat and ultra competitive. I pay for some of the services and deals from time to time. But I am slowly realizing how the company is milking every little aspect of the game. I was excited for this contest, but not anymore. It going to be a hassle going to the game, earning tokens, only for the tokens to cost less and less than before. And with Invasion now being rolled out, I have to worry about keeping up with Diamonds, and it’s never ending.

THE ECONOMICS of this game really hurts players? When is it appropriate to spend hundreds of dollars only to unlock a small portion of a game? you can pay for a full version of a game for PS4 or XBox one at actual cost, and then pay for add-ons. But the add-ons for Disney Battle Heroes cost more than an actual full version game, that only unlocks Diamonds to pay for things in the game…

Am I insane for thinking this???

[MysticMoana47]

You are correct in my view.

[Kova]

Something is not right here. What server are you? The score i have on my contest makes no sense. It’s lower than yours.

[Divljak]

Points system can be different on servers but this seems little bit too much?

[HeroSSWin]

Former City Faire Contests had their Scores higher than these, usually 50 or Higher…

I just aim for 460,000 Points because of this new Scoring System…

[Warrior-Maui]

Mine are that low, too. I’m on server 1

[Swashbuckler_Gus_Server_14]

That screen shot again was from a PAST EVENT in the month if APRIL. my point it with the current event, the point system went down, meaning we are working harder for the contest

[Yunno]

This is our scoring system in Server 12

Fortify the contest is a nightmare. And slowly, the city fare contest is turning into a disaster.

For the past few week, I hardly spend any large amount of token, except buying heroes chips. Because I know, there’ll be this contest on the way

But I have never thought that this contest could become this worst

The prize is not that great and you expect us to spend all our hard-earned token for a single contest!!! And that’s not all. When this disaster comes back (and it will), It’ll become even more terrible!!!

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what’s happening here, but still…

Is it too hard for your players to actually win a contest without spending all their resources??? @Polaris

[PawpsicleSticks]

So much for generous contests…

I’m sure they’ll use the recent freebie as an excuse, if we do get a response. I had my hopes up that the game would start moving toward being nice and forgiving. So much for that. I’m honestly considering flat-out leaving at this point.

[NCTzen_Haechan]

I wonder why Invasion Tokens are excluded in the contest?

[Filadae_Djaq]

-_-

Because they aren’t. Same reason with Badge Bazaar, Memory, and Challenge tokens

[CowardWhisper8]

Aren’t contest supposed to be challenging? I don’t think they are making this so that people are being frustrated with playing but do it so that they can give a harder challenge for people and earn greater awards from it. Besides, you don’t have to do the contest, it’s optional.

[NCTzen_Haechan]

Aren’t contest supposed to be challenging?

Yes, it’s true. But the problem is the contest is very hard. First, there are very few locations to get tokens. We get large amounts of arena and coli tokens once a day (not even enough to get big points), and we get large amounts of war tokens every two days (that is if your guild won). So far, we can all rely on heist tokens (if you stocked up a lot of tickets) and CW tokens (once a day or twice with perks).

[Emitz]

I think this is a great contest and fully support the changes to the point system. The rewards are generous and they are clearly trying to empty the stocks people have been building up. Also this encourages people to play Heist and I want to heist this w/end

[CowardWhisper8]

That’s the point, they make it so that it’s worth it when you get the prizes when you achieve a goal point. But like I said before you don’t have to participate in the contest either way

[Nick_Wilde_XXXI]

I want that nick costume really badly, but this contest is a joke. I spended the few thousand token i had with 5mil gold and barely got 180k points. This is beyond frustrating. I dont see how i could complete this contest and i am vip13…

[WildeHopps]

I posted another thread, not realizing this one was already created, so I’ll post my two cents here, as well as a screenshot.

This is with spending 74,828 tokens and 11 million gold. That is from saving up for over a whole month, just for a single contest, as well as buying several packs.

The scoring in this contest is insane in its difficulty, and is incredibly, and woefully, broken. There is no economics in a game anymore if even someone who saves everything they earn from playing everyday, for a month straight, can’t beat the goals of a contest that happens once a month. It means I can’t do ANYTHING ELSE except save up for contests, which makes a huge drag on the enjoyment of the game.

I really hope the rest of the contests this month have better scoring, as I know people who were excited to try and get the Nick Wilde Threads in my guild, but have now realized even with all their savings, it will be impossible for them to earn even 1/4 off the rewards for a contest.

This needs to be fixed, PerBlue, and before the next contest next week. This is getting outlandish in the difficulty and inanity.

I was going to buy packs and the like for the contests this month, but seeing as how spending everything I have in game still won’t get me to that top goal in a single contest, I think I’ll be spending my money elsewhere until this is fixed.

~Signed,
Extremely frustrated play since Beta.

[WildeHopps]

I feel you there. This one contest has completely bankrupted every single token I have, and all the gold I’ve saved up over a month and I’m STILL not close to hitting the requisite amount for this contest. It’s beyond frustrating, especially as there is no other way to get these threads.

I was going to buy stuff for the contests this month, but after seeing what they’ve done on this contest, I don’t think I’ll be spending anything at all because it won’t be worth it.
