Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

I too was wondering about this. Haha. I'm reflecting on my urges to spend a lot on this game. I do like it but I have to question this aspect of the game.

I agree on some parts and here are my thoughts. I believe it wouldn't hurt them to increase the coins amount in their packages and also to rethink the benefit of paying players. However, it was a good strategic move of them to actually make things more fair for all players (e.g. making blessing, 4th combat slot available to all)

Regarding the monster purchase, I honestly think 1000 is a good price only because it is supposed to make you REALLY think TWICE before doing that purchase. It might be game breaking if it's cheaper and everyone that is willing to pay for the game will get that advantage over the others.

Also, note that the other epics are obtainable from farming the map - so there's not much incentive for the players to buy the monsters from the encyclopedia. We can get the monster by PLAYING the game the way it was intended. Now, Felicity is an alternative epic for Pampurred, similar to Vertedeath. They are not the only EPICs for Psychic and Ghost types therefore it's really optional for you to get them. I believe they can also be beaten by other regular epics (which should be the case) ---- so making that monster purchase is not a requirement for you and the price fits this perspective.

However, there are other things in game which I find oddly expensive: respins, items in shop (100g for a skill chest ?!)

It is aggravated by the fact that there is so much LUCK factor in this game which makes us wonder if we are getting what we pay for? Luck should be carefully balanced because as soon as the player finds that there is no strategic and fair way to achieving a goal they want in game, and that luck pretty much determines it ---- it will lead to LOTS of frustration and eventual quitting. I wish Haypi would realize that there are plenty of other games out there and theirs isn't that necessarily unique yet. It CAN become GREAT but they'd have to think things through carefully.

These content updates are appreciated but it adds more bugs and problems to the game rather than improving the experience. I wish they'd be more careful with their decisions that affects the game's design in tremendous ways.

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

There definitely needs to be more rewards for buying coins.

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

Chezzire i agree you 80% what you wrote.
No one says you have to buy any monster of enzyclopedia but
There is always ppl who buy cause they dont wanna play weeks
to get meniss or they wanna get felicity to have a strong oponent
against meniss and to get felicity strong u need him to get to S.
So you have to buy him with coins but 50$ ?
Perhaps haYpi thinks when ppl have money and are lazy then they have
to spent really lots of money to avoid that tons of hour to play.
My english is too bad to explain things better but say what you want
but this strategy to get that high amount of money from ppl is unfair!
someone who dont pla with money will not be motivated to spend
money when u get 1600 coins for 90$ Lol thats crazy expensive
You can buy an advantage by ingame purchase thats legitim but
so damn unbalanced gold coins content and lottery system in talent and
Now chests is makin that whole game more sad !!

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

Not that i hate Haypi or anything but yeah.. I'd agree that increasing coin amount on the available packages should be considered, aside from which the adjusted values should be credited to those who've purchased them before.. There are definitely audit trailsom Haypi's databases so it's pretty much workable..

Well i just hope that Haypi would consider our thoughts on this matter :)

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

Well, they addressed this sooner than we think.


By changing a lot of things in the game that we'd be so frustrated and feel stupid for spending on it. Skill books will be too RANDOM and we have no way of knowing if what we get is the one we want. Brilliant idea to have it unknown so that we have no motivation to respin for it. Kinda like the gold chests. I just sell them coz it's stupid to buy keys then get what, useless potions for it? I won't sweat over something I have no way of knowing whether I'll get something useful or not. Same with skill books in shop. Random skill? I swear if you get a beginner's skill from spending 100 gold coins, they are being too ridiculous.

But all of this is to make us perhaps, spend LESS, or NONE at all at their awesome game :D

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

That's true! I am certainly using less coins that before. I wasn't really going around buying everything before as well, just the occasional speed up for the breeding and more expert challenges.

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

Sounds like haypi did almost everything wrong with this patch

I hope admins/mods read this thread and react serious and think about
community and not ONLY about how to make quick money! There is also
a long fair way to make money - get on this !!!!

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

They do read the forums. That I'm confident about.


But it's weekend and holiday on Monday, so maybe 4 days from now ~ We have the confidence from previous updates anyway that they read the forums and that they DO something about it if they can.

So, we can afford Haypi the benefit of the doubt.

Re: Why is this Game so expensive ?

What a great post, Chezzire!

Yes, it is the weekends and let's not forget St. Patrick's Day! It's a bank holiday Monday as well so let's give them until Tuesday.

They ARE listening to us but it just seems that they are implementing new features that haven't been tested yet, or have gotten feedback from players.
They have fixed issues we highlighted before so we know they are listening.

@Juni - Is that true? I don't have Vertedeath yet so I'm not sure.
If that's the case, then, I think that it will be available in a Veteran or Expert map of Chaotic Swamp!
Quitted!
