EA Staff (Retired)Thus vault is a terrible thing. I've been playing this game since November and I have only once in 5 months had enough diamonds to open this damn thing and that was the last diamond blitz tourny. But if everyone else is just paying for the highest level units for their leagues it becomes nearly impossible to ever get the "Grande prize" now that tournaments are 500 diamonds to re enter I never get to re enter and do better. Also to penalize regular users by making the regular cloning chamber less effective than the purchased ones is *. You're trying to corner normal users and force them to pay for a free to play game in order to stay competitive. Yet with all these new ways to spend diamonds the only way to receive them is to hope you don't get steamrolled in tournaments and wait for your blue crate to get a measly 4-7 diamonds. So maybe in another 4 months I can open the vault .... oh wait or maybe re enter a tournament ... or just delete this game because by that point everything will cost more. Next thing you know there will be units that are godlike that you pay to unlock that make the game unfair.....
Well I guess you are right, I stop this game today actually. Bye and may the guy behind this pay-to-play-everyday system be fired...

So far, all the responses in this thread have shown how greedy we as players are, and how bad we are at math. Seriously guys, this change has only made free to play better, and made it easier to spend diamonds for those who paid. It's best of both worlds. rushing 25 crates (600 dia) got halway to an epic crate if you were unlucky, or got you that epic crate if you were. That's 11 epic cards. OR, you max out a vault, open it for 600 diamonds, and get 30 epic cards. Such poor value, eh?
Cloning was meh before the change, now it's actually a feasible way to get that unit you like up to par and decently quick instead of having to rely on card luck. But Redwood is screwing us, hm?
Crate order has twice as many epics now, so you should run into one every 25 crates instead of every 50. This will help our epics keep up instead of lagging behind. But all they are thinking about is greed, hm?
Seriously guys, sit down and do some damn math before you go off spewing your vitriol. You should all be ashamed.
Actually rushing 12 crates. Besides that you've the chance to get Dia in every crate above wood. I can't even remember the last time I didn't get Dia in a golden one.
But besides that the biggest Problem (for a lot of Players) isn't they made this vault, it's the fact that absolutely everything besides the bloody battle costs you money. Even re-entry into a champion Event, which imo MUST be achievable by "grinding" the game cause it's a major part of this game.
Even 2k does this better than EA and if they had released this game under another/new title it would already be dead.
Plus this game is buggy and unbalanced as hell and EA has nothing better to do than start a Premium Item Feedback round - even this whole game is already Premium.

Things got better for free to play players, so why is that redwood getting greedy? Where's the logic?

Sure.

There, as requested, 4 sources all breaking it down and coming to the same conclusions. Now that I've done as you asked, show me your math (Can't wait for the excuse your going to give on this one, probably not even going to acknowledge it) =)

"Crate order has twice as many epics now one every 25 crates" Yeah so every 3 days you should get one if you start a create every 3 hours. 🤣🤣🤣
Which means you get one every 3 days assuming you no life convoy instead of every 6 days of no life convoy. Seriously, what is the issue here?! People keep complaining about this like there is some hidden evil here, but it's legit better for free to play. It's much worse if you paid for diamonds and rushed them now.

" it's hard for free to play to get diamonds." I won my tournaments to get free diamonds, but it cost me 500 coins to restart the tournaments. Drop in the bucket to win diamonds. Now you have to pay 500 diamonds to restart a tournament, to win 1000 diamonds. Yeah that's EA's greed.
said I don't agree with the diamond cost to reruns and I'll say it again. I think there's an alternative to be found in the middle ground. So yea, what's your point here? I'm agreeing with you, but all you can see is the red so you don't even realize it, haha.
