Thanks for all your replies, I just wanted to share this on CG servers in the hopes that they would actually read this and take my concern seriously. That might be bit much to ask for, but still. I actually replied to p74lorvtb4rq, but somehow my comment couldn’t post.
The idea of my reply was like this; it even makes sense to gamify your dailies more, I actually like the idea. It was an unnoticeable part of game that now becomes part of a larger profession, very cool. But I get the feeling like I’m a second-rank player for not buying the episode pass and progressing in a way that this update was clearly made for.
Call me naive, but I hope you’re so wrong about investors. I hope the CG team is made up of people who actually like to make fun stuff and just screwed up by making something lots of people feel like another hoop to jump before this game gives you a feeling of being rewarded. But it certainly feels like it’s all about money, profits, investors and not about developing something that you’re proud of and want to share with the world.
And yes, I’ve heard about the compensation in episode currency. But it feels like such a disconnection with your player base to not even acknowledge they changed a part of the game (GC) that didn’t need fixing and made it feel overcomplicated. I’m still not satisfied until I don’t feel like I’m not the target group of this game anymore. I spend a lot of time on this to have some fun, but I don’t need to. And I’m very aware of that.
