Did you really lock the points needed for just standard path progression behind the episode pass?
I can't even claim the point from challenges need to progress down the regular reward track unless i purchase the pass?, is it even possible to max out the regular rewards path without getting the points from challenges?
This is a disgusting cash grab. Probably time for me to quit the game. Omis got cut from 4 per week down to 1, “BUT FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF $20 A MONTH, YOU TOO CAN HAVE A CHANCE AT MORE OMIS THROUGH INCREASED TEDIUM”
Seems they dont actually want people to keep playing this game. I was considering the new LSBs, but now I am considering quitting altogether. This cash grab is too much for me to stomach. Literally ruined the game
It would be good to explain what is behind the pay wall and what isn't. Are episode quests behind a pay wall? Can you still get the free episode track completed if you don't do these? Maybe call these bonus or something so there is clear separation.
Are the character quests included towards the episode track? If so, that is a separate pay wall from the episode track pay wall.
According to the post about Episodes, there's enough free points provided during the Episode to max it out and that the other missions just make it easier and gives them more points towards the bonus crates at the end.
I'm not a fan of them locking them behind it either btw. Just in a wait and see approach at the moment
I will give it time, but right now I am very upset (keeping language clean for the mods). I did read through all the updates and I didnt really like it then either.
In all honesty (without sarcastic hyperbole above) I am giving it until end of year before deciding to keep playing or not. Reading the update and seeing the shard and pass gate-keeping, I’m leaning toward just dropping the game right now. Maybe a month will change that.
Exactly the same, it's a big middle finger to the whole player base.
"One group in particular we wanted to focus on with these changes was our Free to Play players and how they will interact with the new Episode and Quests systems."
Translation: we're going to pressure them into spending while we also pull the pants of the rest of the player base down. Brace yourselves, Holotable Heroes, we're going in dry!
This is the exact approach about half of my guild is taking right now. CG is either actively trying to kill the game or they are trying to milk more from the player base that has stuck around through all of their terrible decisions.
Current players aren't sure how to think/feel about these changes, the level of complexity in this is going to push away new people trying to get into the game, and F2P individuals are already getting punished by them locking some elements of the "free path" behind obvious "give us money now" demands (see OP's screen grabs).
Not good enough, CG, especially after this **bleep** show of a year were all you've done is take rewards away repeatedly (Mother Talzin event, ABs "rotating", Raid rewards being brought lower and lower, etc.)
It would seem that most of the new content is for paying customers only.
The character quest stops at 65 shards.
The Episode quest require premium pass.
Would it not have been better to allow everyone to do and complete all the quests, but have two claim buttons everywhere, one for free and one for premium? Perhaps with 10% of the rewards on the free and 90% on the premium?
That way, it would still be worthwhile to attempt the quests, rather than writing angry posts on the forum about content that is out of reach, staring in our face?
