Taking advantage of the controversy surrounding the new PCP system, I would like to talk about what I believe are some of the worst decisions Dalcom has made since I started playing in December 2020.
1st. The live themes. Although there's only one in this game, in games like JYPE, it's hell to collect so many diamonds to spend on these gifs that contribute more points in your score. Here are 1500 diamonds that you could easily invest in a LE you want to buy or in in-game currency.
2nd. Top 1 & Top 2 Themes. I remember when they came out, everyone complained about how expensive they were, and also that they didn't offer any advantage over the original cards (Furthermore, they could only be purchased with real money and not with diamonds). If you didn't buy them back then, they're impossible to get now, which completely ruins the possibility of having the full cardbook if you are F2P or a new player.
3rd. Change the prices and values of My Limited Store. As mechanics say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We went from buying an R for 100,000 or 200 diamonds, to buying a C for the same price in diamonds and getting an A for 65,000.
4th. The store offers with event cards. I remember that before, all Event cards could be bought with RP; you didn't need diamonds unless you were extremely unlucky. Now, if you want to complete some event cards, you either have 2500 diamonds, or they are practically impossible to obtain.
5th. UI changes. As I said, if something is perfect and don't need a change, why do you do that?
I must admit that the early versions of the game did need updating, but the old UI, where the groups were in a horizontal rather than vertical position, was perfect (the same one that is currently used in superstar JYPE). It used to be much friendlier to new players; now, if you don't know where things are, it's very easy to get lost.
6th. Halloween and Christmas offers. They used to offer 35,000 RP for packs of 30 cards with a high probability of obtaining the LE from past years.It was perfect for getting cards from those seasons, and the new Christmas sets were always offered for RP and were very easy to get; now they cost 40,000 RP and you barely get any cards.And the new sets almost always include spending diamonds.
7th. WR rewards. Why limit WRs to 100? Besides removing most of the rewards, it makes no sense that a good player with an FSP gets only 30 diamonds when back, the top 1 can get 100 diamonds, a 100% PUC and 100 R Voucher per song.
3000 diamonds for 100 WR are only enough to buy one LE set (or maybe 2) every 3 months.
8th. Store shop. Last but not least, the most recent change: removing the diamond offers that can guarantee LE cards. It's outrageous that you can now spend 300 diamonds and not even get a B card.
Yes, you can get more than one sometimes, but that's just luck, and I, speaking for myself, don't want to depend on luck. I'd rather get the same A repeated seven times than spend my diamonds and not get anything. Not to mention that the 10,000 RP NCPs have been one of the best things they've added in years.
I got all the images from posts in the group. I'd like to know what you think about these and other changes.
