Re: Kick Out Steve! EA
@mlapomme I sincerely hope that the mods here are forwarding observations like yours and others in this thread on to the game devs. You are certainly not alone in ignoring Steve & Company.
There are many, MANY players in the various FB groups who also are refusing to give this new game feature the time of day, and I can’t blame them. I just hope EA and TrackTwenty do make some good, positive tweaks (sooner rather than later) to the monster slapping. I like the idea but implementation is just too terrible to get many people to commit the time and resources do this.
Note: I’m sure this was done to drive card purchases, though. After my first foray with the 60-hit, 4-hour monster, I got a pop up for a “Monster Card Offer III,” which consisted of x25 Common/x20 Rare/x5 Legendary Cards, 20 gold keys, and 2500 war sims for 6.99USD. It does work out better than what’s offered in the 4.99 small war pack, but EA tipped its hand in doing this right after introducing the feature; you have to have attacks leveled to a certain number in order to be able to reach 15k pts to best that 4hr monster in time AND get the gold chest.
I’m sure they designed the monster feature to specifically drive card sales like this, so my fear is that they won’t want to tweak the parameters to make it more desirable to play if that will potentially cut into their new card pack sales. (I hope I’m wrong.) Newer players *might* buy this pack, but I feel the more tenured folks won’t.
