So, am I reading this right that the new pack that's supposed to be the bee's knees is going to cost £300 (or $577aud)(Go to store, check app details scroll down to bottom to see in app purchase price)$577 for a pack, on a mobile game, supposed to b for new players....if I was just starting out and saw a pack for upwards of $200 (let alone north of $500) I would definitely delete the app and find a new game...It kinda strikes me as counter productive...

@Vos_Landeck Yeah, it is supposed to be a catch up pack. But let's put this in layman's terms... One pack will be equal to a week's wage (after tax) for someone on minimum wage in Australia.This is feeding people's addiction and exploiting that nature and is totally devoid of any corporate responsibility to do the right thing and look after their customers.Out of all the shady things that CG has done to the game, a $550 pack would be the worst...And it's supposed to be their new highlight...

People are responsible for their own spending, addiction or not. People need to take responsibility for their own actions and stop blaming others for their problems.

Mine shows $99.99 and yes, I updated the app this afternoon. I don't think its all that reliable. In any case, we'll know soon enough.

@CamaroAMF I totally agree that their obligations are to make money for their share holders.Their responsibility though is to do that in a fair and equitable manner and not exploit addiction. Mobile games are an addiction, not quite as destructive as something like smoking or gambling but it's an addiction none the less and to exploit anyone's addiction goes against corporate responsibility and is preying on the weak...This pack is the antithesis of that...

If you look at the video they just sent out, it is 99.99 USD

Moment I see 85 level opponents in new arena shard is moment I uninstall this game. Way to destroy f2p and low spenders. Can't compete for arena crystals vs 85 lvl.

It could be a good thing if hyperdrive buyers get put in a new arena and fleet shard with other hyperdrive buyers. That would still keep some balance between f2p and p2p players in newer arena shards. You can beat p2p players of the same level, but let`s face it you will never beat lvl80 characters with a lvl40 squad no matter how bad that squad is.

That would be better. I know the game and I got lvl 85 account but also new account where Im focusing on good thin roster. Arena im fine top 10 being bundle byers, I can do top 50 which is fine. But fleet arena where Im focusing I can't do anything vs roster of 5☆ ships in long time. I was hoping to be top 10 by focusing on ships and pilots.

Well I can always hope not many will buy the bundle.

Are you guys seriously considering this? Let CG maths and data do the work for them...

Let us not spend and show them they are ********

Don't know why it messed up my comment.. never posted here before.

Was just replying to @Jahosefat agreeing that getting players used to spending at $20-$30 would be better than expecting them to spend $99+ right off the bat.

I've been spending for a while now and I still don't think I would spend that much and I am still at the point that the bundle would help me with a few characters. $20-30 is easy.. $99 is too much for one pack imo.

This pack will get my Clones and Geos to G12, and maybe a few to G13. Wish there was some GET 1 & 2 in there...

Nobody is forced to buy it since everyone can do the long run with patience and focus. This Hyper thing is obviously a business item and are designed for those who wants to shortcut evolution.

I know who would never spend those amount in a mobile game but just remember that there are/were people out there who spend 500 to max a single marquee with packs so... all kind of wallets and ways to play this kind of games.

The energy, store tokens, ability mats, crystals and gear appeal to me much. I mean, it'll give me 3 relic chars instantly, but I already have all the characters (except for 2) geared and starred up to the point they'll be after purchase.
If it really costs up to 100€ I'll pass.

They can sometimes have a pack with one toon for $19.99. If you buy that 5 times over a couple months, you have 5 toons and a little bit of gear. This pack has many toons for the price of five. Plus way more gear/energy/crystals/zetas. There is definitely value in $100 compared to other packs.

Heck, where else can you buy zetas?

That's all fine and good until the people who are addicted to games like this end up on welfare and my tax dollars have to support them.

Sure, but do new players realize this? Honestly if I’m a new player these prices look like greed and I’m staying far away from this. It shows them right away that this game is a mobile money grab where you pay stupid amounts of money so you can play for a total of 10 minutes each day. This pack will do nothing but get us old idiots to spend more on this game. No new blood is going to bite on a $100 pack.

Is there a discount if you just want the gear and mats?

Dont need the rest
