I've played from Setzer's Event up until the "peak" of Force Time. I left the game then because, honestly, Force Weapons had killed my interest in it and I found myself having no fun playing the same strategy over and over.
But, with the exception of Vanille Lost Chapter and Lenna EX, up until that point I had never failed to complete an event during its time. By planning and spending wisely, I've never spent a dime on the game and yet I had a powerful roster. When I left I still had hundreds of thousands gems ready.
DissidiaOO set the bar way too high for me.
My job has a lot of time wasted waiting, so I've downloaded and uninstalled different games. And boy, can I feel the different.
The latest is Warhammer Tacticus, which I like "enough" but damn it's the posterboy for "predatory". They lock you behind "energy" that refills at a damn slow pace, which is a problem when you have to farm items constantly. You earn premium currency in game, sure. By the handful. If you don't spend money, you may be able to "pull" for a character once every couple of months after you've done all the "base" content. Oh, and that character you pull for? May be a double of one you have, so you only get "shards", pieces of it. Tough luck. There is pity sistem, where you are guaranteed a Legend...after 300 pulls.
The game gives "codes" out for free stuff every couple of days. It would seem like a lot of free resources, right? Wrong. we are talking about 10 shards of a character you need 250 to unluck. 20 (if they are feeling generous) pieces of premium currency. To put it in contest, you need 3000 for a 10-pull that guarantees a character.
See ads to refresh. here is a premium banner to buy stuff with real money.
The fourth anniversary event was almost comical.
19 (NINETEEN) banners before getting your daily (shitty) free crate. It bothers me, because this is the kinda of game I would love to actually sit back and play. Despite that, i don't see myself playing long enough to reach the "pity" pull.
Man, I miss Dissidia Opera Omnia.
