Relic Delta IS COMING......

"Our stance is that counters should completely lose at [Relic Delta 4]."

When the GAS event came out I spent about two days, six hours each, glued to my phone with guides pulled up, re modding, retrying the event over and over and over again. 

just to squeeze out his unlock without relicing higher than the requirements. I kept basically everyone at G12 except b1. 

It was some of the best fun I've ever had in the game and I'll never forget it. I've done this with every event I can, and it always feels amazing. It's what is so magical about this game. 

When I first tried the Phoenix+pre-taunt against Reva and realized how good of a counter it was, but how much of a knife's edge it's on, I fell in love again. 

This is the soul of the game and when it is speared through the heart by relic delta, the playerbase at large(the ones who aren't active on the forums all the time) are going to absolutely lose their marbles. 

They are implementing the worst cash grab system during the possibly the worst global economic environment of this game's history, and it is almost laughably perfectly designed to ruin the most fun thing about the game. 

Simply for the schadenfreude afterward I have to keep posting how brain dead late stage capitalism this decision is. 

That being said, I recognize that it likely isn't the creative or design team's choice. This stinks of executives seeing numbers go down and wanting to extract value. So no matter what we say beforehand nothing is going to change until it hits live and they see massive red from the normies.

If you're listening CG, when that happens and your execs have sent you down that crappy road that leads to a ton of players leaving and revenue down and possibly permanent damage to the playerbase of the game, take my advice: fire your leadership and get people in who care about long term success, not short term success. 

To put my point another way, CG Execs: SILKSONG IS TWENTY DOLLARS
