This game has issues. Every single patch just adds increased level cap or more heroes to make you fall even further behind forcing you to spend more and more if you want to keep up.
The moment you have caught up fully on your main set of heroes and you can start working on the other heroes that are behind, they increase cap and force you to stop and get back on the main heroes so you never really make any progress at all unless you spend insane amounts of cash.
Furthermore, contests are complete trash, Perblue has zero imagination.
Just win by spending diamonds or stamina = whoever pays most wins. Or other contests that are just about farming Surge, or Arena or Heist and whatever.
The entire point of events/contests is to make the game interesting, to get you away from the boring daily grind, but their contests are just more of the same daily grind with nothing new to see, the same old loop just repeats everyday regardless of contest or not.
Look at other gacha games and their events, its WORLDS apart. Take AFK Arena for example, they make specific dungeons and stuff you can do for each specific event to keep you occupied and interested and constantly add new stuff and gameplay modes instead of just doing as Perblue “spend stamina” wow so imaginative. Its just lazy and greedy and proves they dont really care at all about the players.
Simply adding new heroes and calling it a day doesnt mean its content. The daily grind is still the same.
AFK Arena having tons of new events with different types of labyrinths you have to battle through and solve puzzles in to get rewards, different types of boss events where you have to come up with specific strategies/teams to beat it for rewards and this is just scratching the surface of what others are doing.
I suggest the devs to go look at tons of other gachas and see what they are doing in terms of events and take inspiration from there because this ■■■■ is lacking heavily.
