Honestly, for some reason, this caught me by surprise. Of all the things they could have made long term "end game content" they chose....a second Empire capital ship? lolol okay, whatever.
As an aside, it seems as though this, combined with the change in fleet rewards (crystals at the top - making it extremely top heavy) is indicating a shift away from f2p and lesser spenders to a much stronger "whale favoritism" than in the past. Not that the 20k reimbursements for the TB requirement debacle wasn't enough of an indicator.
If that shift is the case, it will likely only get worse in the long run. I know....the sky is falling. lol
The last two to three months have been nothing but whale favoritism and the push to get more to that level with more frequent panic farms. F2p and dolphins even will be further behind than ever. More high priced packs with rng (which toons shards, how many shards). Fewer set-price packs at ~10-20 dollars for dolphins to get one higher star level before farm release. More and more unannounced toons with minimal lead in time to farm.
Now a $30 pay to play event for new content (numbers from 3390 crystal requirement from a prior post) by breaking their paradigm for capital ship unlocks being the next star level so they can monetize the new ship. This is a load of poodoo. Did they forget how pay to play upset the whole community (tournaments)?!
This is a huge insult to anyone who doesn’t pay out for large crystal amounts regularly for their escalating RNG shard packs and more and more frequent toon releases the last three months.
@CG_Kozispoon I would like to know why the game devs moved ship unlocks into a pay to play model. It’s awfully suspicious since top fleet arena spots will now also get crystals. Seems like y’all are just helping the rich get richer at this point.
