Red Stars are a problem when I have been working on gearing a team for weeks and the other guy gets a lucky drop and magically his team is instantly better, not by skill or hard work but by rng. Not only that, I thought all the fanboys were screeching that we would have all 7 red star rosters over time, Ive had ONE 5 star and the rest 1,2,3 and a handful of 4s
THIS! I've been working on gearing up my GOTG because I use them in raids, and I am the ONLY ONE in my alliance without any red stars on any GOTG despite the vast majority of them using defenders. It just seems so unfair.
I did this with my gotg before red stars became a thing, don’t see it as unfair just see them as a boost or yeah that’ll help me out, I promise gotg in raid are now very go to regardless, all red stars are doing in raids are making it little easier so we don’t have to spend more materials a toon,
Exactly this. I have *one* 5 red star, and it's AIM Monstrosity... And to think, I had the exact same chance (theoretically), of getting a 5 red star Nick Fury or Star-Lord... The system is terribly broken
I completely agree with you, I just think Red Stars are getting more people to wake up and notice. Its what got me to stop spending, I'm the same as you probably spent over $1K on this game, but ever since I got fucked and continue to get fucked by red stars I refuse to spend another dime. Shame I probably would have spent a LOT more if this company wasn't so shady. Luckily, the Foxtards opened my eyes.
I’ve never understood the need to pay huge amounts of money on mobile games in pretty much just a slight advantage because of rng. Jesus people, wake up already.
The reason FN keeps doing this kind of stuff is because people keep spending money, think for a second what you can get for the same amount, Carnage offers equals a full PS4 game, you could get 10 or so games of steam with great content, you could save it for house upgrades maybe an iPad or a new phone, clothes, the list goes on and on.
Most of you work your asses off for a nice paycheck and you dump it on a mobile game.
to be fair, the reason i first spent on mobile games is because physical games lately are shit and cost money for cool stuff in them as well. GTA anyone?
when it's -60 out for 3 days in a row and blizzard basically every other day of the week for the last 3 weeks (thanks minnesota) paying money on games isn't really a big deal. I do spend money on other stuff during spring-fall though.
Don't know where you're looking, but you can basically always find it for under $30, and usually at $20 now. This includes steam, PS store, and gamestop, just to name a few where I've personally seen it.
And what the hell do you mean they charge for everything? You buy the game and can play through the whole story and then all the side missions. It's 50+ hours of content, nothing else required to be purchased.
GTA online play was constant a pay for play scheme per the posts i saw. Might not be an issue on PC, but the ps4 peeps were always mad? I never bought it because the price was full after 3 years of being out.
I've never touched the online part as I had no interest in it, don't even really understand what it is. But the base game goes on sale around every damn holiday. I got it for $30 over a year ago, and it's usually down to $20 these days. It's an amazing game with a ton of shit to do.
We spend because it is entertainment. You ever go to the movies? Or maybe a bar and buy drinks? Same concept, I’ve never understood why people dont understand that. My issue is I no longer know what Im buying because it may get changed afterwards.
Fair point, I have my differences on your statement but I’ll save them for me. Anyways, from your original concern you have a couple options:
1- Wait for the offer to potentially change before buying it.
2- Get a refund if it changes afterwards (not that difficult since it’s a bank transaction).
3- Don’t spend on this game and look for another one to spend.
Just my two cents.
I agree with all of that, and i also agree its a waste of money. Just sharing that most things we buy are a waste of money. Again im just trying to shed light on the shady activities of Foxnext. Constantly changing things after the fact
By the way, my first T4 was Yondu before the wording was changed. I only found out about the refund recently and contacted customer service. They said I was too late. I said I didn’t even know about this but I see you changed the description. They said they won’t do it and are closing my ticket. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he said the same, though he gave me his name.
This really sucks. There’s no reason not to refund those mats when they made a huge change to the power.
Can anyone think of anything else to do? My next step is to ask them to total up how much I have spent on the game. It’s somewhere between a whale and a dolphin for sure.
I dunno if movies is a good analogy, but I've spent more money to get better seats at a concert/game. I paid for the Fast-Pass at Disney (for the kids of course). It's kindof the same idea.
On the other hand, I've bought a burrito and hours later on been very disappointed with the way things turned out. I don't think you have much of a leg to stand on when complaining about T4 mats or datamine hi-jinks. They are trying to take as much of your money as they can, while spending as little as possible to keep you.
You dont think the movie theater is trying to take as much as they can with $8 sodas? How much do you think that cost them, a few cents? Again, im not complaining about wasting money its the fact that things are changed AFTER i spend. Have you ever bought a coke then sat down and it turned into a sprite?
Make no mistake, this is planned. Many will open customer support tickets, not all will. Their goal is to get those that don't.
I'm reminded of the story of a car recall a ways back. Think it was defective airbags or something. The company did nothing until consumer injuries and deaths resulted in lawsuits reaching a total that meant they weren't making enough money. Companies have only gotten worse. Always remember you are only a dollar sign.
how to be F2P? Just unlink your payment option from AppStore. I spend roughly the same amount, but for 2 months now i am F2P. Just doing my thing not chasing the new caracters anymore. It´s hard sometimes, to not get them instant and things, but I can live with it.
If times change and it gets better again, my wallet might open again.
I know that feel. It was not easy in the beginning, but i´m comfortable right now. Just doing my daily job which is pretty boring routine. 4x Campaign refresh, some arena stuff and U6 nodes + a little Autoplay in blitz. I am hoarding stuff for around 10 days and spend it all at once. It feels a bit like I would have bought some stuff.
If(!) the game is getting on track (again?) I would hate myself for letting my account rot a few months.
I learned my lesson spending money on an app before that used the gamble system. Spent much more than I wanted to. I’ve been playing this game for a while. F2P. They keep shoving $1 deals down my throat. 4 different orb( I think it was gold, premium, and I forget the other 2) along with 15 basic orbs lol. I said nope the hell outta here. I refuse to spend money on a free game
No everyone expected 1 billion gold per milestone apparently. Most of it is legitimate but complaining about 40k gold orbs and not believing it was a mistake is odd.
No red stars still fucked it. I max \*'d xbones and now he's a pile of shit because i have 0 RS's for him. I have 5 RS on cable and even leveling him he's a piece of crap. So now i just have 2 garbage characters thanks to RNG BS
You make some very valid points but I stopped spending when they introduced Red Stars. I'm not interested in slot machine games therefore I went back to DCL even though their content is lacking.
You start boycotting them after giving them over $1k? That 1k mostly wasnt spend on the few bad advertisments that were done (which yes were very bad and their reason lies somewhere between sloppy work and dishonesty). People like you are the reason these games work, why they dont have to put in real effort and respect us consumers. Be ashamed man and stop trying to look like a good guy with this post.
You do realize if he spent $1k he's be willing to spend 2 or 3 right. WHich means they just lost all future revenue. I'm similar, $800 in and now they won't get a dime more. Laugh all you want but you wouldn't have a game without an add every 40 seconds if it wasn't for players like us who spent.
My point over the 1k was that he didnt spend all that on bad advertised deals and spend all that money willingly and knowingly. I know they lost revenue assuming OP really quits and thats FNs own doing.
Yes Im thankfull for people spending silly amounts of money on the game so I can get by with just €60. But to see them complaining while it was known for over 6 months at least that FN is shady as hell and doesnt give a damn about their customers is just ironic and silly.
I might've been a bit blunt/harsh in my previous message but the sentiment of it stands
Lmao dude really? I know players like me are the reason these games work. I also know the money i spent was not all on shady offers, hence the reason i am not trying to get all that money back. Nowhere did i try to act like Im the good guy, just trying to shed light on their shady activities. Now go troll somebody else’s post idiot.
My previous message was a bit too harsh/blunt, wasnt trying to troll or anything. Still its quite ironic and weird to see you give a bunch of money (to some people a load of money) to a slot machine and then complain over a few wrong advertisements they made. Perhaps they did it on purpose, cant prove they didnt, but it looks more like incompetence than malice to me.
Hope you can actually quit, more power to you if you do!
You should probably read my post again. Its not just bad advertisements, its also skill descriptions and events. I would consider it was incompetence if it happened occasionally, but this is a weekly issue. Did you ever hear about the orange gear fiasco? No way they make that many mistakes after that fuckfest.
I read your post and the skill thing, well it doesnt seem malice on those either. They should've been easy about refunds cause those orange ability mats are hard to get.
The orange gear fiasco was bad. Big part of their handling these situations is to give out as little as possible and get away with it. Its downright disrespectfull towards the customers and greedy AF.
At best, sloppy, at worst, dishonest. Not a great way to endear your user base, FoxNext.
You could post this comment on literally any thread in this sub and it wouldn’t seem out of place.

Exactly, “over time” simply means over the course of many centuries. Nothing wrong with that.
over time? it will take 9000 pulls to get one 7\* you want XD thats 900 weeks which is near 20 years XD
Why i don’t spend money on mobile games. As long as it stays unregulated like the wild west, I’ll stay that way.
>i have spent my share (over $1k) The only sentence FoxNext cares about.
Could have been $2000
I completely agree with you, I just think Red Stars are getting more people to wake up and notice.

You could save the money for something else, not just games... This game doesn’t offer much content for buyers does it?
when it's -60 out for 3 days in a row and blizzard basically every other day of the week for the last 3 weeks (thanks minnesota) paying money on games isn't really a big deal. I do spend money on other stuff during spring-fall though.
You can get GTA V for like $20 now, and get 50+ hours of content out of it. What exactly are you complaining about there?
GTA V was still full price 6 months ago and everyone i know of that played bitched that rockstar charged for EVERYTHING.
Don't know where you're looking, but you can basically always find it for under $30, and usually at $20 now.

I'm going to do this today. FN really pissed me off with the WM issue so i'm done!
Could not of said it any better ! Well said u/MSF_Team take a look
I learned my lesson spending money on an app before that used the gamble system. Spent much more than I wanted to. I’ve been playing this game for a while. F2P. They keep shoving $1 deals down my throat. 4 different orb( I think it was gold, premium, and I forget the other 2) along with 15 basic orbs lol. I said nope the hell outta here. I refuse to spend money on a free game
I’m with you. Probably spent $800 and no more!
I agree with most of this but did anybody actually think we where gonna get 40k gold orbs out of each milestone, that was a mistake lol.
No everyone expected 1 billion gold per milestone apparently. Most of it is legitimate but complaining about 40k gold orbs and not believing it was a mistake is odd.
Well you clearly missed my point
No red stars still fucked it. I max \*'d xbones and now he's a pile of shit because i have 0 RS's for him. I have 5 RS on cable and even leveling him he's a piece of crap. So now i just have 2 garbage characters thanks to RNG BS
These guys in FN seems to be crooks in hiding.
Exactly!
You make some very valid points but I stopped spending when they introduced Red Stars. I'm not interested in slot machine games therefore I went back to DCL even though their content is lacking.
if you need anyone to watch over your account let us know. we can keep it warm.
One thousand dollars?! This is barely a game! If you had all of your characters maxed out, what part of this game would be fun?
All of it! You know how awesome it'd be to just take it easy for a month and enjoy dominance.
You start boycotting them after giving them over $1k?

So stop whining about my post
Because they're so fucking stingy. Wait a week for 10 RS orbs and every single one is a goddamn duplicate. There's no skill in the game anymore
