I'm honestly having too much fun to complain about the RNG unlock system.
I'm missing 2 engineers now, not sure why the sticker shop likes to give me engineer sticker but I have them...I'm also buying the 35k packs because I like the cosmetic upgrades and having plants and zombie minions for other game modes is nice too.
The system may not be perfect but it's not terrible in the least. Every time I get another engineer sticker my friends laugh and I say you guys suck and we all laugh it off because seriously...by buddy is wearing 3 cats on his head and I have a fish on mine. I can understand if the unlock system could generate duplicate stickers but they don't (and if they do you should contact customer support).
The game came out last week.
I got electric citron last night and a fish hat for kernel corn which i think is an easter egg throw back to pilgrams and indians...I couldn't be happier.
But you can't deny things like tier lists, frame data, etc. You will never see a player in the top 1% win an Evo tournament with a Hakan (SFIV). Skill is important, but so is character balance. You will never get true balance with a roster of over 50 characters let alone a 100.
And I think that this is terrible game design. If you believe that a game cannot be truly balanced, and you should have access to the most overpowered characters/variants in order to abuse them, then I understand why you don't like this unlock system. I'd rather that the most overpowered characters/variants be nerfed and the developers give themselves enough time to implement those nerfs by not allowing everyone to be Fire Rose day 1. PopCap has an excellent record, recently besmirched by the post-beta Rose buff, of rapidly balancing variants that have become "Tier 1".
For the sake of a healthy, veteran player base, I would much rather that players like you don't get Fire Rose at will and drive off the casuals.
Are you seeking a medal or some sort of award for your constant badgering on this forum.
Nothing wrong with the game in its current form (im talking core game, no class balance). You have just as much "luck" as the next guy to get an unlock.
If you don't like, don't play.
