Is the refresh for event 4 still the way to acquire dt and krennic? I'm seeing a citadel pack which seems to indicate otherwise. @CG_CapGaSP
We changed the model because in order to make the "grind mission" aspect work the refreshes would have to be... high. Even though the price is still roughly the same range, the average user would balk at seeing a refresh that was thousands of crystals (regardless of the actual value). It's sticker shock, basically.
If you do every tier or every mission you get 2* DT and 4* Krennic (I think). it winds up being around or slightly cheaper then an old school Aurodium. The value is actually pretty good. I hope you guys like it!
HAHAHAHA I'm sorry, but this is insulting. The average cost for an Aurodium character from ZERO shards to 7:star: was roughly $200-250. This new Citadel Pack is (if I remember correctly) 4-5 times as expensive per pack, and will cost players (as evidenced by YouTube videos already out showing it) $8-900... This is a good value in your eyes? You've essentially priced out the ENTIRE "middle class" of players. I have a LOT of players in my guild who were willing to buy a vault or two of crystals in attempts to get their DK/DT up to either 6 or maybe even one of them to 7:star:. Now they won't spend a dime because the price is atrocious for the value. ONE Omega, ONE Mk III Ability mat, ONLY 250K credits, and MAYBE 10-30 shards? The drop rate of more than 5 shards is pathetic from the video showing pack opening, and the accompanying materials are barely more than the original Aurodium packs granted, if they've even been improved!
The community-at-large expected this Citadel pack to be UNDER 1000 crystals, and instead are greeted with a 2999 Gold Digger pack. Your market research team needs to be fired. This pack is a terrible value, but I guess when it comes to hard-core players with bottomless pockets or spending addictions, this pack obviously sells, as evidenced by the YouTube videos popping up with maxed out 7:star: DK/DT... I guess there's always going to be that one group of people willing to spend astronomic prices for anything, but this price point puts the vast majority of "dolphins" and other would-be spenders on edge because of the price tag.
It's called Sticker Shock.
I honestly can't think of any way to remedy this aside from significantly drop the price of this pack.
