HUT is dead before it even started with the complete lack of rewards.
Why in the world did you think we would want next to nothing for rewards? What made you think the players want far far far far far less rewards than last year. Ok cool you added an XP path. Why would you do that and then completely remove all other rewards from the game? HUT rush from years previous that almost no one would play actually had better rewards than this garbage abysmal xp path system lmfao and rush was the worst form of rewards in years past.
Without Rivals and Squad Battles WEEKLY rewards added back into the game what is even the point in playing? Don't go and think adding monthly rewards will make anyone happy. Giving everyone the same card at the end of the xp path and the same upgradeable cards in the XP path is just forcing everyone to use the same cards. The fun part of this game was collecting cards and building multiple rosters. That is completely gone now.
Oh and to top it all off all of the packs in the store are completely absurd in their pricing. Why do you get absolutely nothing for $120? Spending $200 on packs last year purchased multiple top end packs. How do you think raising the prices nearly 5x from last year was going to result in any sales? I have no problem spending money on packs to get players but there is no point at all in spending any money on packs this year. Hundreds of dollars gets you nothing in return and not even enough fodder to build sets. It is so bad you may as well just remove all the sets from the game in its current state. Nobody will ever get enough cards to complete any of them. Oh and not to mention getting rid of all the trade in sets that got you packs. Trading in gold jerseys only to get another gold jersey doesn't make any sense at all.
Sincerely. One enraged player who has played nearly every single year of HUT. Somehow you have made it feel pointless to play the game as there is nearly nothing to play for.
