I’m currently fundless and couldn’t spring for *any* of this, but it sure looks like Pix is having a fire sale on everything: $8 Fury? I’d buy that. Au more than 50% off usual. The 600 snowflakes for $10 is gone; now there’s 500 for $5. Numbers of keys and tokens go up and up and price points continue to drop. Some offers have been real deals.
I know there’s a lot of justification of spending on the game, and there’s a lot of opposition to it as well. I have spent RM and will again, but as I’ve said before, what I spend on the game wouldn’t take me to a movie and buy me popcorn and a soda - and the value of that expense will last me much longer than the movie night.
I would have spent already if I had the cash in my cash account...so I wonder if Pix is getting few takers and that’s why the less than usually extortionate pricing in the BM? Over the holidays I’m sure there’s a lot of self-gifting, but just as many reasons not to splurge on in-game loot on top of the seasonal demands. I really do wonder if they’re taking a bit hit in terms of expected earnings.
Not only are these ‘deals’ better than usual, they started showing up earlier than usual this round. They’re changing faster, too; short-term offers pop up and disappear.
The upgrade discount weekend is great...greater if they’d wouldn’t starve silver and turn matches into three-minute bug-hunts for a month beforehand. I work on weekends: I get to play *much* less. So the bottom line for me on the upgrade sale is:
- timing couldn’t be worse
- no benefit at all compared to sane resource distribution
- as much of a con as the rest of their business
- crippled earnings, poor ‘rewards’, flattened experience in-match and out
- *EVERYTHING* I dislike about Pix/War Robots is on full and massive display
- Titans continue to break the game further & boost Leech/Ao Jun (as if they needed)
Anyone else noticing any of this? What’s the state of YOUR play?
Addendae: sucked up into Masters again, so fighting all champs all the time now, earnings in the toilet, OXP/Au/Ag all suppressed to nothing vs a week ago. Time to drop fun bots....

Time to drop fun bots.... You think the matchmaker is bad on iOS? PC is worse. Been fighting Champs in Diamond league for a year now. It's one of the main reasons progression over there is so slow. But, I take advantage of the fact that there is no low priority queue on PC due to low population. If I see I am up against an 「bum-bum hole」 whale clan squad like Banz, Deso, GR, AGE, PYCC, RIOT, etc., I leave the match in the first 5 seconds. I actually am not sure leaving that quickly counts against you, as my rating continues to increase despite all that dropping out. |

IDK, don't under-estimate the value of a movie and popcorn. Some movies I'll remember forever, most games I'll forget tomorrow.
?dookie?, you could buy a nice shirt for like $10 and have a nice date night or get a sweet job. The value of $10 is far more than some digital fashion piece. Because that's what it is, a fashion piece. You can fulltime this game with punishers if you wanted.

I would steer clear of the gambling aspect. You're better making a more calculated informed money spend judgement on what you are actually going to get rather than a Pixo not entirely random BM or Event box.
Disappointment leads to frustration, and frustration leads to anger.

they Should lower the XMas Token cost in the First place since there are only a couple of new Items, everything else is Old and it's Heavily Weighted towards PC this time around... i was really hopeing to win at least 1 Dragon Marquee.

Really want a 2nd Fiesta Seahorse Fun Hat Calamity myself. Then my I could run two Taser Striders side-by-side as the ugliest Doublemint twins ever. But I am not having any luck either. C'mon Pix, if our only options are going to be all hideous crap at least let us win the hideous crap we were hoping for! |

Going to the movies are cheap where you come from. ?dookie?, where I am, a single movie ticket is $10 But my point is, I might remember that movie, I will forget the purpose of the money spent on a game (in this context). If this game simply cost a monthly subscription and the content was unlocked, I would have paid for it a long time ago. But a las, I am not a sucker. |

I totally got what you were saying and I would love for movies to be ten bucks. It's double to ten times that amount in my parts. (Dependant on luxury) the Star Wars is costing me $90 For two tickets. I must be a whale. |
