Attaining (Trying to) Kylo Ren is a JOKE!!!
Ok,
So I've been playing this game for a while now (Only since it's official release, as the BETA wasn't available to me), and it is quite a fun, addictive game.. But my god, there's so much "unfair" game-play involved, along with the "unconvincing" reward system. But my biggest gripes with this game, for one thing, is the way the 'Squad Arena Battles' are chosen. You don't stand a chance against 95% of the opponents team.. And don't give me that garbage about "levelling up your characters".
The 2nd thing is that when you SIM a battle, if there's a character shard in the rewards for that battle, you're not even guaranteed to get that character shard. Then, there's the limitation of only being able to do them 3 times a day. So you could be trying to get shards for Rey, for example.. And SIM (or even play) all 3 opportunities you have, to get her shards and you could end up going through the 3 allowed chances without a single shard. Now, THAT.. Is unacceptable.
To make it worse, with some characters you have to get 80 shards to unlock them. 50 shards is bad enough, but 80.. is just plain ludicrous! Attaining a top character should be no more than having to acquire 50 shards.
Which then brings me onto the Cantina Battles and the recently released "The Force Awakens" content (which I'll come to momentarily). Now, since I've been playing from the game's official release, I've only managed to get to the 2nd Tier/Page of Cantina Battles and only just started the 2nd Battle in that Tier (which I can't seem to get past, yet). The Cantina Battles are far too difficult for their current level. Jesus Christ! If Tier 1 and Tier 2 are as hard as they currently are.. Then I'd hate to think what sort of difficulty the battles would be when attempting Tier 3 and Tier 4 battles.
Which, finally brings me onto the farming or attaining of The Force Awakens characters (Kylo Ren, in particular). Yes! I DO want that character, but as you can already tell.. I'm nowhere near attaining his shards, unless I pay out an absurd amount of money to EA, for crystals to buy Chromium Data Packs (Something which I REFUSE to do). Obviously, The Force Awakens did have a pack in the game, around the time of the movie, that was priced as £79.99 (UK) (That in itself was an absolute abomination of money spending). Who, in their right mind would shell out that amount of money on a mobile device app?! You'd have to be plain stupid or rolling in money to even consider doing that. Again, EA's greedy revenue and profit tactics are at large, here (clearly becoming a "Pay-to-Win" game).
Now, I log in every day and have done since the game's release and I complete all the Daily Activities and I've managed to acquire a total of 7/80 Kylo Ren shards. I'm Player Level 51, currently. How in the holy hell am I, or anyone else (particularly of a lower level than me) supposed to acquire Kylo Ren or Finn, without spending money on the game?! Maybe, if you could purchase the characters, outright, for a small fee (Yes, EA.. I mean a small fee). Something ranging from £2.99 to £3.99/£4.99 per character (depending on their rarity and star level), then that would maybe encourage NEW growth or playability into the game. If you're a player and you've been lucky (or stupid enough, should I say) to acquire Kylo Ren and the Force Awakens characters by either buying the TFA Pack, that's no longer available.. Then good for you and this probably doesn't apply to you. My point is, that acquiring characters, such as Kylo Ren, Finn. etc. should be made far easier and be made far more attainable. Because otherwise, this game becomes very much a cash-grab or VERY time-consuming, at the very least.
If anyone from EA reads this, I hope you will take my comments and my gripes with the game, on-board and hopefully do something to rectify this.. Although, I already know it will fall on deaf ears.
Thank you!
