#Content Pass task to buy a Mega Pack
25 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
It is specifically made for paying players
I mean one of the tasks requires you to be a royal merchant as well so
And wouldn't a completionist want all the titles which includes Supporter V so
Think of it as helping towards that 😄
Passes always have tasks you'd have paid for in some way. Like this one needing to craft Zephyrs idols. Also unless you played since day one you'll never have been able to get all titles.
Completionists would want all the BPs too….
For me example, I don't like spending money in game that i don't need. That is why I never fully completed the Content Pass (because I need to pay real money for that). I just do up to final Rewards that I can claim (i even pay 1,500
for all the rewards)
Why Kabam put Buy Mega Pack as one of the Tasks? Because they know they can make money by doing that... Its a Free Game, so they need to make money somehow 😋
I am in favor of well fed well housed coders.
I buy them all already. I was VERY ANNOYED this time when the mega pack was a couple of days ahead of the task and it didn't give you credit for having purchased it already (something it knew because it wasn't showing the pack to me). It turned out another one came out before the end of the pass, but that was still annoying.
To a point. I am a Dolphin (not a whale, but I spend a bit) and I am getting a bit tired of all the monetization now compared to when I played in the past.
This has always been the case and iirc it would have been during the pass for non RM members because it comes out earlier for RM. But it has always been the case that another mega comes during the pass.
Mega packs should be released during content pass not before (or make it count still), simply because players who pay & support the game should be rewarded.
It should be rewarding for players to make a purchase.
Instead we're being punished for buying RM and buying a pack too early. It's like a middle finger to players who support the game. Horrible user experience. Just my honest opinion.
It's a horrible user experience, but it's a great Kabam experience
They get to sell 2 packs instead of one
Mega packs are every 2 weeks, that is the timing regardless of RM or not it falls every two weeks. I absolutely agree kabam could just stop and think for 2 seconds before deciding on pass release dates but anyone who has seen 2 or more passes should have picked up on this by now.
This never happened to me before that I recall. And I buy all things with a new pattern. It is not common enough even if it happened.
I dont think the content passes used to be as regular as they are now, maybe im not remembering correctly but I know ive seen conversation regarding that. But what I outlined has happened several times now they are frequent. Ive seen this issue mentioned during previous passes.
I agree with that. I doubt I would have kept playing years ago with such "required" spending.
Just to be clear, incase its not, I do think the timing needs adjusting but I still stand by the fact that older players should have noticed this before.
For non RM players the porcelain pack did not drop till after the pass was released, but the pass ended before the pumpkin patch pack would be available for them.
For RM players, the porcelain pack was available a few days before the pass, but the pumpkin patch pack was released for them before the pass ended.
I dont see what the issue is here. No matter what group you are in RM vs non RM, a pack was available to buy during the pass. The only issue is maybe if your RM expired after buying the porcelain pack early and you dont renew it, but if you dont want to renew RM you are not going to be able to complete future passes for the title so you have probably made peace with not getting it.
There have been suggestions for making the pass titles tiered like other titles which i am in favor of. They could easily make 3 levels for each one
- t1: completed the reward track
- t2: completed all "free" tasks (excludes the RM, pack, or craft premium worker item tasks)
- t3: complete all tasks
The issue, from those who raise it, is the release of a pack that they buy then 2 or 3 days later a pass starting. They always feel cheated out of the task completion due to this. But with what you've said and what ive said its a matter of timing only.
exactly, if they ever released a pass where it was literally impossible to buy a pack i am sure they would change or remove the task or extend the pass so it is achievable.
i think the easiest thing for them to do is to just make all passes at least 15 days to ensure that there is always a pass offered during the event. ideally they should be 21 days to really make sure there is good overlap. the 14 day passes can make it tricky.
or always start the pass on mondays before a pack would drop for RMs so there is not a way to buy the pack days before the pass starts.
This, exactly this, cause no matter how long a pass is people will still complain about whatever pack preceded it. They just quite simply need to start passes sooner.
