RE: Season 6 Updates and Balance Changes!
And how does the onboarding of new players go? I mean... if I remember correctly, I saw some stats about pack sales and new users in the mav's house. It could be I missed it, but I haven't seen any stats since. While I'm actually really interested in how they are doing when it comes to attracting new players (not alts).
I assume it is not a priority yet, since they are still tweaking and trying to find the right balance. But since they've posted an announcement that they were looking for advertisers and sponsors, I think expanding the userbase is either happening, or at least should become a priority.
The fact that they need bots to make sure that the gameplay isn't interrupted, because "there aren't enough people playing at every level on any moment during the day" (not an assumption of mine, but a quote from Matt), doesn't sound like they are onboarding a lot of people.
(I'd really love to see some stats, about everything, to get a better ida of how things are developing. Just out of curiosity)
I agree that the reward cards would indeed serve a better purpose when used to make new players hooked and get them to buy packs, definitely now the reward cards - once all are released - ar going to be a worthy deck...
But again, my battle about things being fair or not, or if things are a smart or a not so smart thing to do is over. It's their game, so they do as they please. I'm not a mav, so whatever I say doesn't matter. And the only thing I achieve is getting into endless discussions and getting downvoted.
Time to let go and move on. There is no use in wasting energy trying to change things I can't change. So for the moment, I don't care anymore about who gets how many reward cards or no reward cards at all. I'm just going to play my games for fun, cutting down on the time I spend doing so. That will give me a chance to become more active in the community again. Planning to keep my highest deck in place, and thinking of putting up everything else up for sale.
I don't have any energy left to waste on a game. There are plenty of other things, more important things, that are worth the energy I've been putting in.
From my understanding the founders have an idea of a budget they want to use on advertising. Both are smart guys so I am sure they have some things planned.
I do have some ideas on how to better the affiliates system and how to better use the free rewards cards to onboard new players but that requires a much higher percentage then the current 5 % offered for successful affiliates and a reconstruction of how the reward cards are distributed.
Being a maverick is overrated. Everyones voice counts but the guys who spent thousands will have a louder voice then those who didn't. .. Sadly that is how the world works. That doesn't mean others suggestions or opinions go unheard.
I am just about done as well with arguing my points as I voiced my opinion and that is about all anyone can do. Its up to the founders to make the decision on what they think is best.
I agree. It's up to them. We know only a fraction from what they have planned or what their idea for the game is.
I just catched up with the conversations in the mavs house. Your post about the rewards, the discussion about gambling... lol! Compared to you, I have nothing to complain about when it comes to arguing. ;0)
Yeah, I tend to have not very popular opinions among some but now is the time to voice them as the game develops.
