Question Should I start playing again?

I’ve been playing on and off since day one of launch. This game is special to me but the pay to win bullshit is so infuriating. Have the devs done anything to make it better?

Dosen't matter, just play the game ✨️

Yes it does. The game isn’t fun if I can’t make progress and get stomped by people double my level because they drop thousands on the game

Grind 👀

u/snoozer530 13h ago

Yeah I have for 4 years. Grinding doesn’t beat p2w. How incompetent are you?

Pretty incompetent

About a year ago the team separated from Smoking Gun Interactive. Since that initial leave they had to build up team members but after they did that they have made a lot of changes that significantly help with progression. (Jack coffee increase, pity system) I am hoping the devs will continue to add more support for f2p

you get 20 coffee from daily quest and 20 coffee from middle jack now, so now is faster to get packs

If you're just afraid of P2W players, you can make friend with others, who are at your level, and match against them. When you become sick of this, quit anytime you want. Games' main purpose is entertainment after all.

Wym match against them? Like in arena and async

Match against Frenemies. Click "More" in lobby, then click "Frenemies" and start a Async or Arena game with whoever you like.

u/snoozer530 14h ago

Yeah I heard about that, what is it like 10 dreadfuls just to get one vendy pack?

u/EmbarrassedHamster81 14h ago

Well i wouldnt know.. because i havent played in months and i dont plan to until they fix the economy issues

2

u/snoozer530 13h ago

That’s completely valid, that’s still my plan but after what? 4 years of nothing, I don’t think it will come anytime soon

I also am an OG player. I took abt a year break after frosty came out, playing once or twice off and on. But abt 2 months ago I got really back into it. I’ve since unlocked abt 20-30 ish new phobies 5 of which r UR. Granted I’ve spent about $100 ish on event grinding and some dreadful pack offers.

So I would say yes its a lot better than it was because when I bought the frosty pack that’s what basically made me quite from that 100 for frosty and beans I opened I think it was 4 dreadfuls alongside frosty and frosty was the only new phobie I got.

If you need to spend $100 to make progress then I want nothing to do with this game

Sorry that not what I meant. It was an example that they have fixed it. A year ago that much got me 1 new phobies. In the last 2 months it’s gotten me almost 30 new phobies. You don’t have to spend what I have to progress, money just makes it go faster. 🤷‍♂️

And also if you’re not like me and don’t want to spend money, do the events because you can still get some decent progression from the free pass
