ERA state of play
I'm going to try and keep this semi constructive. Im by no means a veteran player, ive been going a little over 2 years at just over 10m GP.
Im not a whale and not quite F2P, ive bought a couple of LS Bundles and usually buy the basic conquest pass and the episode pass.
Ive spent time and money to get a semi competitive roster, ive VERY recently started to get some traction on those efforts to the point where I was getting more reward for completing content, not just RotE and Raids, but the twice weekly challenges and thus greater rewards from the episode pass.
Then, bang, ERA comes along after a very positive anniversary event. I paid my usual £19.99 for the episode pass, and it seems our progress within the pass has been severely hampered (at least for me). Normally by the end of week one im 30 to 40k currency from the pass for the shop refresh, today I was at 12.8k
I figured it wouldn't be so bad as they had increased the rewards noting the previous challenges had disappeared. Again, my roster was at a nice place where I was getting high rewards twice weekly to use in the shop and in the pass, worth the 2 years and near enough £1000 over that period...
So back to the ERA event, im sticking to F2P as lets be honest, its just designed to reward whales, with damage tiers and limits on progress etc. Not fun and no reward.
So imagine my surprise this evening when I log in to see the new weekly episode quests and its 5000 for completing 3 ERA challenges. Ok, I figured id play ball and at least try and get those rewards for the pass I have ALREADY PAID FOR. Imagine my surprise when my Luke barely kills 1 add on tier 1 before been killed off.
Not that anyone who should care will read this. This event is bad, it is shoe horning your players into a very one dimensional game loop, which is boring and unrewarding. It is also a kick in the face to people that have played for a long time (real veterans must be seething) as the reward pay back feels muted.
Im still early on in Conquest and not fully upto date, however I have not bought the conquest pass until I know whether the final stages are impacted by relic delta.
Finally, the game is and has been running like garbage for a few months now, inquisitor, phoenix, nightsisters (heavy buff battles) seem to be the longest.
Its even began on some fleet battles, I had a profundity vs leviathan battle almost time out as the game was taking 3 to 4 secs to process every action, this is on Andriod Mobile, Samsung Galaxy 23 ultra ... not exactly a slow phone
Until this mess is sorted, I will be fully Free to Play until I feel my time is at least been rewarded. I would suggest others follow suit.
