1 year 2 months into game, I quit

I hit 350 imortz, speant $400 a week on average. Played events, and just got wore out. So many things wrong with game.

1. Programming. Every since they fired everyone, card pics have went to heck, events are stale, and stacked against the average user.
2. Packs, ever since about my 200 crew?? Or so, buying packs starting getting to be a soar spot, since out of 6 crew, I would normally only need 1. And most often would cost a couple hundred dollars just to get the 1crew. (In the beginning it was fine, since I needed every crew)
3. Events programming. Rewards are so screwed for 50,000 plus players or bots
4. Lack of programmers? For new events. I am so wore out of choosing to play a galaxy event or level crew. And here recently a mega event every other month is just horrible.
5. Lack of care about ticket submissions. It’s almost like support is told not to help people by exchanging beholds that just seem unfair. It would only take a lil pixel exchange to keep a person spending.
6. A simple thing in my book to fix, would be crew release to active crew slots. I have bought every slot and still have good cards frozen, I can only imagine what a player that don’t spend $400 a week goes through.
7. My biggest pet peave are the packs that don’t have the special crew, and then get support response, that’s just bad luck for you. When you know after 20-30 packs you should have got at least 1.
8. (EDITED TO ADD) The start of my enjoyment downfall. I really noticed I was on the verge of quitting after the "Great Voyages Nerf". For a person to buy 5* crew, or work hard in events and log in every 3 hours to get good crew rewards, Just so they can go longer in voyages, (which I thought were decent rewards for our crew efforts), Just to have DB pull the plug on longer than 8 hr missions, which was one motivating feature to try to get better crew. to last longer. So I thought DB stole away the best reason to get better crew.

I’m sure I missed a few points, but for these reasons DB can be assured my source of weekly donations have stopped and I will find another game to donate too.

Thank you to Stt and trista for helping me learn game. And allowing me to have fun this past year.

    $400/week? Why?

    It's not that bad. I don't know how anyone could justify spending $400/week on this game

    that's just on average. $99 event $49 event, $100 Monday chron 400% offer, $25 DYO, $100-200 special crew offer. and then those weeks, where you spend a couple more hundred, just because you don't have enough chrons, or the drop rate of the special just wasn't good. Let alone spending anything to compete in events. (oh ya, and the stupid tax apple makes you pay.) although I did learn recently if I used steam. a $99 pack really only took $99. Not $106.00

    I feel your pain. You bring up a lot of valid points.

  • I think your real issue is that you’re spending $400 a week on a mobile game! Whether you can afford this or not (and it’s none of our business either way) that’s an awful lot of money to throw away on something so intangible.

    I’ve been playing for almost two years. And yes, at time the game is tough with having to juggle crew slots with new crew. But that’s actually part of the strategy of the game. I understand that I’m never going to immortalise everyone - I have to pick and chose who I want to keep.

    I’m VIP level 13. So I’ve spent a bit (but considerably less than you). I stopped buying things about 6 months ago when I realised the return on my investment was decreasing. I’m now happy with what I’ve spent as it’s given me a decent boost and allows me to make too 1000 in any event I wish; and I am totally fine with that. In fact, I haven’t bothered to seriously play the past few events because the 5* hasn’t interested me enough and I have enough 1/5* sat in my crew quarters waiting to be levelled.

    The game has got some flaws, but you’ve created some yourself by basically buying yourself out of the game. What’s the point in buying all of the crew and then playing in the events to win the same crew again? For me, the biggest thing that keeps me coming back is the community. I’ve made some good friends in this game. My fleet are a friendly, chatty group and we have our own Discord server. Without them, I may have left the game long ago.

    As an aside, if anyone is spending more than they can afford on games like this, please, go and seek professional help as you probably have a gambling addiction. These games are meant to be fun. When the fun stops; stop.
  • I can only imagine what a player that don’t spend $400 a week goes through.

    Nothing like this. I spend about $4.84 a week and I am making considerable more progress in the game than you. You probably felt pressure to spend because of your fleet. Find a good F2P fleet. Many of them are also making more progress than you and not spending anything.

    You cannot buy your way to the finish line then complain the race was pointless. And I agree with Aki....you sound like you have a gambling problem. Get some help.
  • me and my wife have everything we need, 2 houses, 4 cars, 8 tractors, (btw which are my personal hobby), quads, motorcycle, and snowmobiles. So what ever I choose to donate money too is on me. age of empire, sim city build it, dragon city are just a few games I donate to too. But I can honestly say I bought 2 lottery tickets in my entire life. and only been to Vegas 1 time. I would not consider anything I do as a gambling addiction. And if your a real person, not a game bot account, The idea that I bought myself out of a game?? isn't that the point, DB want us to spend money?? I doubt they released a game without the possibility to earn money.. So you would think they would do things that make a person still donate. Not cut them out of the game. If it wasn't for People paying for game, Game would not be here for you to play Free to Play. That's just the way it is.
  • What you choose to spend your money on is your business. But $400 a week on a mobile game is obscene.

    DB released a game so that they could make money, true. But I don’t think they imagined anyone would be ploughing in that sort of cash.

    LOL. They offer, $99 event crew pack. $99 Monday 400% offer, a weekly 6500 Dil offer per pull. Almost $99 per pull.. I think this is exactly what they would like from a lot of players per week.
  • When you go into a supermarket, do you buy everything that’s on offer there too?
  • come on, supermarket wouldn't be in business, if people didn't shop there, Neither would DB Why is this concept so hard. Im sorry if you don't buy things in a manor in which I buy things. that's no matter to the point DB would Not have game if no one payed.. Its that simple.
  • I don’t think you understood me.

    Personally, when I go to a supermarket, I just buy the things that I need to buy.

    Anyway. I believe you were quitting. Don’t let me hold you up on your way out of the revolving door.

    as a bot account, You didn't hold me up. I don't mind explaining to your company why they have not seen my donations last week, or this week.

    Some valid points. Not at the same place (in life or in game), but I can appreciate where this is coming from.

    Sorry to see you leave. I've enjoyed some of your posts in the past.

    I'm not going to harsh on the amount of money you spend. It's your finances and your choice. I will say that if I spent $400 a week on a mobile game I would expect to win or place high in events regularly, not to mention do extremely well in all other aspects of the game. I'm just a sometimes monthly card player and fully enjoy the game still. Is it perfect? No. Obviously not. As far as the crew numbers are concerned, it's not great, but it is manageable. I'm sorry that you no longer find the joy in the game that many of us still do.

    What would you like db to do differently that would get you to continue to play? What additions to the game should db do to continue to play? I think that would be more helpful to db. 1. The art has gotten good again. 2. There is a limit to how many crew db can introduce. 3. It is easy to get above 50,000 and I am sure you are always top 100. 4. We do need new events.

    There is a limit to how many crew db can introduce? They will probably be at that number after the summer mega event.

    Sad is, that for DB is easy to solve OP's problems and frustration and everyone would benefit from that solutions, not just whales. And many solutions were suggested here several times. Therefore I think its a matter of incompetence.
