The idiocy.... you'd think their algorithms would get together once a week to compare notes..... not that I'm buying either one, but I DID wonder if I bought them both what would happen. Would it be like dividing by zero? LOL

Would probably let you buy both, but you'd still only have one till you 6 starred it.
No clue how they decide what to "offer" you in those.
And yeah there is a LOT of hate and discontent towards the recent developments, in regards to the events and such.
All those folk who said "It's Plarium... they made RAID Shadow Legends, it will soon suck," get to now say "I told you so!"

 Don't really get these offers either. Who is supposed to actually buy these? People who hate having real money in their pockets?? Seems like a dumb mish-mash of too little and too unnecessary for anyone to bother. |

Mine is a little different... probably b/c I normally get that 5$ deal every week. (Not this week, and probably not again unless they turn around from the direction their recent actions have shown they are going. Not feeding the monster more than I already have... especially if they literally ignore all the customers complaining about everything.)
I'd probably have gotten the 50$ one... I would like a maxed Shadow or MD.
Not now, though.

Yup, 「fluffernutter」 those 「female dog」es. The spigot is officially off for now. I played raid:shadow legends and know first hand how deaf they can be.
Did I already say 「fluffernutter」 those 「female dog」es? |

You only got the 40% discount offer because you know me. See, my name's right on the offer. Not everyone gets that. Be thankful... |

I basically stopped playing... A few 2v2 with my daughter is still fun, but that's it. This game is more and more similar to War Robots. Spend or lose. Thanks, but no thanks.

Yea they drunk.. Whoever was steering the boat throughout Beta must have jumped ship..
My playtime has easily gone down 80%.. Last 2 tournaments I only played maybe 3 days combined? Lately Ive played 2 battles a day to get all the dailys and havent been worried about much else.

Making money off cosmetics is fine for me. This is WAY different than selling power. I'm glad they can make some money selling skins. I just hope it means they are slow(er) to make the move toward the dark side. |

I want that Tron skin... but not enough to drop acoins on it. Especially not 800 for a CHANCE. And knowing that some folk will, especially if they have money to burn, irritates me. If no one spent, it would make them change it.
Frankly, they should have enough events to allow grinding enough tokens to get all the prizes... but we will only be able to get 4 or 5 from tasks, if the last time was any indication. 「fluffernutter」 I hate greed.

And like our illustrious Killuminatti says... still no clans, still dash bug, still no Disc Launcher 8 in the progress path... etc., etc. The things we want, we don't even get word on... but they can keep the offers and the costly events rolling, non-stop.
I love the game, and especially, love playing in squads with folk. But the Devs are pissing me off. It's just one more greedy groin grab by the execs that force any good thing in the mobile market to be as exploitative as possible.

Amen. Haven't played for 4 days, 「fluffernutter」 it, they are getting so greedy and disrespectful. Quid quo pro. Give me things i like, i spend money. Constantly try to bend me over? Cya. |

Some might call it petty, but I have a really hard time putting this kind of stuff out of my mind, especially like when I jump in for a quick game or two and quickly get steamrolled by over-anxious AI bots, knowing that the 800-a-coin skin grab and the steamrolling are all part of the same scheme to try to separate me from my money. Makes it very difficult to actually enjoy the game. |

Makes it very difficult to actually enjoy the game. Both you and Thunder echo some sentiments I've seen in clan, as well. If I didn't already barely play and have a good enough hangar to usually hold off AI and most players, I'd probably stop for a bit too... but jumping in with some folk, whether on comms or not, and shooting 「dookie」 still appeals to me. My optimism for the game's future, and my desire to grind when I can play, are pretty much gone. Might pull COD mobile back up, or Super Mecha Champions... IDK.
I actually put War Robots back on and started a new account over the weekend out of curiosity, and MA is still angelic in comparison. I was going to start a thread about that, and still might... but basically it's so far gone I can't see why anyone would start playing it unless they just hated having money or liked to lose. But... feels like MA's steadily headed War Robots's way. I don't really want another game trying to fleece me, so, I am close to fed up.

Yeah, the handful of games I get to squad with actual hoomans are among the few things that keep me playing. My hangar is decent enough that I can mostly hold my own, as long as the planets and stars and AI aren’t all aligned against me. It hasn’t reached War Robots levels of frustrating yet - it’ still mostly more fun than not playing at all. 🤣 |

In the bigger picture I can just ignore this stuff,it doesn't effect the game balance or how I play,I only spun the last crate with the tokens I won and it will be the same with this one.However I do find it funny how many people are moaning on FB MA groups about spinning and not getting what they want,seriously !!!!.
In our heart of hearts we knew it was coming,we knew they had and are watching the Pixonic school of economics,they know and probably already have some of that huge pot of gold mobile gaming brings.For me in this game it is bearable because they don't let spending have a major part of a battles outcome,we are all still on a fairly even footing.
But I still cast a wary eye over this game,I can't shake the feeling there is a ton load of crap coming down the pipe,we will get see a bit here and there but it's coming.I still hold out hope Plarium will be different and will keep within the "we have to make a profit" boundary without turning it into a cash cow.
But like others here my game time is reduced,this could be because after over a year of playing my hanger is in a fairly good place,I still play every day and complete my dailys and complete most of the events on time,but I have given up on tournament,that is too broken to spend what little game time I have,I'm not in that golden time zone that I can just start playing with an hour to go and beat everyone to take top spot.And MM can still make my blood boil with giving me useless AI or dropping me solo against clans.

I'm not too worried. I have a feeling that by the time MA gets to be unplayable for me, there'll be a new game on the horizon that I can get into. It's the circle of mobile games...

It hasn’t reached War Robots levels of frustrating yet - it’ still mostly more fun than not playing at all. 🤣 I get it guys, in the past i have feed the monster, a few bucks a month.....then i stopped when i was waiting until they compensated for my second copies, yes they screwed me, but not as bad as I expected. So i spent a bit more. I'll never spend for skins, but im torn... If others buy they are adding nothing to their own hanger, and that's on them...but Plarium sees this amd continues down a path focused on fashion over function. I haven't given up on the game, and it brings a smile to my face seeing all of you on the battlefield either blue or red, but I'm spending more and more of my lunch breaks watching history stuff over playing. Currently obscure historical events are more interesting that killings reds. I'm hoping Plarium steps up their game and finds a way to draw mw back in. |

Today I see that Plarium made the Specialization Spree based on the disclauncher. So to complete it to get the 300 a coins, we need to have won it randomly or pay 70 bucks usd. Really? I have thought lately I could get a laptop to play my Steam library of untouched games for what I give Plarium et al for mobile games in a year. Might do that now.

I have thought lately I could get a laptop to play my Steam library of untouched games for what I give Plarium et al for mobile games in a year. Might do that now. Yeah, it was promised to end up in the progress path, and at our levels, the EN 8 version is just not worth 70$ unless you have money to throw around. So not even worth my consideration.
I have a game budget... but I don't see how, in any way, that weapon is worth 70$. Plus, I saw a clanmate's deal that was 49.99 to get it with 19 BPs and 450K credits. And all I get is a 69.99 offer with no extras. 「fluffernutter」 that whole targeted sale thing. I assume that player never pays for anything so Plarionic figured they'd sweeten the pot. 「fluffernutter」 that noise... just sell it at a reasonable price from the get-go. Tired of these fleecers in every damn game.
I played XBOX last night and went through my Game Pass options. Installed Star Wars Squadrons and had a bit of fun with that. I just couldn't bring myself to give Plarionic a log in last night. I've played a few games today, already, mainly because I want to place in the top 5 of this heat, since I only played one yesterday and dropped a bracket. At least keep something coming in as far as resources, even if not a lot. But yeah, I hear ya about where that money could go. I have no problem supporting a game I get hours and hours of entertainment from, as long as they deserve it. Predatory practices, however, put then into the "undeserved" category. I did get 5 tokens when the event started, just to try and get that KS skin... but just like I figured, I didn't get it. That's it for me. That will be the last 20$ for a while.
They need to give us Clans, or let us know how close it is and to recognize how many people are begging for it, for me to consider spending any more. Is what it is.

Yeah, I'm sitting out the Specialization Spree as well as the Deathmatch Mania this week. There's no point in doing all that grinding for skins I don't care for. This week, I've been doing not much more than the bare minimum 2 games...
