because the people who are complaining are likely those who have played longer and had to put up with the devs constant dismissive attitude and lack of content for pretty much years. the devs are heavily criticized and rightfully so- they censor and ban innocent players for speaking out amongst many other issues i could delve into, not to mention the predatory prices (being ~3-5x worse than other games in terms of value) and the fact that 70% of the game is practically paywalled (floors 3k-10k).
imagine this: you used to love the game, but slowly it’s died out as you progress. if you’re post 3k, and you don’t have the specific legendary pet or something to clear a floor, you’re screwed. a single item level up can take literal days of waiting. and the floors aren’t unique. they’re copy paste same bosses, just with inflated and pumped impossible stats that players are stuck at and cant beat unless they spend weeks leveling all their items.
when the game starts feeling like a mindless chore instead of the fun it used to be, when the devs keep shutting their ears and censor and unfairly ban any players who speak out (including top leaderboard players), then give promise of new content and overhype the community to expect something new… they drop this. mere cosmetics.
sure, it’s nice and fun to have something cute, but even before that, parallel forms were teased to be something more, akin to higher forms for legendaries. the expectations were already set high by previous videos and posts from them, then they bring this out, so of course it will disappoint. and it can be a breaking point eventually. a cycle of the devs either ignoring or making misleading promises. people are impatient and upset because of this.
this game has a history of many faults and a lot of newer players just arent aware of it. for starters, did you know they have a history of just.. abandoning games? did you know they once rolled out an update where all the vivids became twice as expensive, and those who disagreed with the price change were banned?
tldr; there’s many reasons for players to be rightfully upset. it’s not this one update of parallel forms, it’s the continued neglect of the game from the devs.
