no bonus drops for people who don't have gl hondo unlocked????

Like seriously what's the point to only give bonus drops to people who have him unlocked?those people who can have him already literally won't need any bonus drops😂

 

 so this is obviously another bait tactic to catch whales who are stupid enough to spend money on this game that's gonna dissappear in a few years....

 

Also the shipment store has been unusable for over a month now (gotta wait 30 seconds after each purchase) so if there's no fix soon than it just proves they did it on purpose to desperately stretch the time people are active in the game!  Before it took less than 2 mins to get all shipments done,  now it's almost 30mins!!!

  • They’re giving DOUBLE & TRIPLE drops to people who have GL Hondo unlocked. 

    BONUS drops are for anyone with the recent Pirate Marquee units at r3 (which only needs 5* these days). 

  • CG tryin' real hard to make people care about pirates. But hey, if you have GL Tertiary-Character unlocked, you can get DOUBLE and TRIPLE REWARDS for toons you already have maxed. 🤪

    The double / triple drops aren’t just about character shards. 

    I’m not defending their decision here, I think it’s poorly judged, but it’s flat out wrong to claim the double / triple drops will only give people shards for characters they already have. 

  • Yes, they're making double and triple drops so you can get more shards for the characters you need to unlock Hondo, as long as you have Hondo.  This isn't the first time CG has presented something as a benefit to us, but monetizes it to motivate players to spend money on packs to 7-star characters so they can get extra shards for characters we already have.

    The leadership at CG are revenue-chasers and they have yet to hire a "common-sense checker" to say, "hey boss, that's a dumb idea that'll just aggravate players!"  They want to hit that 3-billion in revenue mark for the game and that's the only priority at this point.  Everything else isn't even secondary, it's tertiary.

    There might be some who get benefit, but I'd say the majority of whales who have all their pirates at 7-star so they can unlock Hondo immediately, don't need double or triple drops for more resources because they have plenty.  This is primarily a motivator for lower GP players to push them into buying mid-pirates to unlock a GL.  Granted, CG prioritizes new players and they might need the resources, but are they going to push to unlock hondo, or the other 9 GL's first?  Most of which are easier to unlock than Hondo will be without spending lots of cash.
