*DING* Lightbulb Moment!!

I have heard everybody complaining about getting fully fused beholds ALL THE TIME so what if...DB introduced a new mechanisim into the game to work like supply kits...PORTAL KITS they would provide a 5% decrease in the cost of pulls, and would provide a 50% chance to include a citation as a choice in every behold recieved. This 'kit' would cost $2, and would run for 48 hours. This would help alleviate player tension at always getting ff beholds and reduce the cost of portals, while DB would be getting an extra $2 from players plus people purchasing extra packs since the odds of turning money into low amounts of honor would be decreased. Now of course the figures stated here could be altered but these 'kits' would be a GREAT new item to feature as a ranked rewards, to make people want to compete again!! They might also be made to decrease schematics received per pull to 1 per 10x pull, therefor making players want to spend more since it would be guaranteed that 10 dollars in dil wouldn't turn into useless replicator fuel.

Sounds too good to be true, butt great idea.

I don't like the idea of having to pay extra for a work around to a problem I think DB should fix anyway. Maybe that's just me. I would rather they just try to fix these sorts of problems to improve the game in general to incentivize spending rather than trying to monetize every single aspect of the game, even more than they already have. I think it's a very common mistake that businesses make by taking the "how can we make the most money with the least amount of work?" approach, rather than the "how can we provide the most value for the money?" approach. Businesses that take the latter approach tend to benefit from increased longevity. To their credit, I think DB has shown signs that they are beginning to embrace this mindset. I hope they continue with it AND reap the benefits of it.

Secret Journey

Player retention seems far from a priority here. This is revolving door policy...lying in wait of the next caravan to fleece...

No thanks. Too little too late. They could have solved the Behold issue a long time ago but chose to milk us. This cash cow has run dry.

Paying $ or Dil for such a thing is wasteful, imo. There aren't enough players who do enough portal pulls in a 24-hour period to make it worthwhile, and thus it would not be profitable enough for DB to implement.

Just increase the honor value for dismissed super-rares and legendaries. It's quite simple really. At the moment they are almost valueless.

Either that or let us trade them with other players, either for honor or for other cards. At the moment we can only exchange them for tiny amounts of honor, at a rate DB sets to be very, very small.

This mechanisim would be mostly for whales that get the ff beholds, and take it from me i bought 200 dollars worth of packs for the alternate timeline pack, i would've liked a 5% decrease in the price of each 10x and would've purchased this idea for 3 or 4 dollars

I think there is more than enough ways to spend money in this game and for people who can afford to spends thousands to get a leg up so to speak. Id rather see DB appreciate ALL of its customers and decrease the prices for everything across the board starting with the faction stores. In the long run they will make much more money because more will buy, the game will survive longer because the focus would be longevity instead of the quick buck. If someone can afford to spend money like its water on this game they dont need a discount. It comes across as “ I'm rich therefore I'm entitled”. To me there is way too much of that mentality in society. I've spent quite a bit myself here. I dont want nor need a special discount just because I can afford to waste money on a mobile game, make it fair for everyone and let strategy and collection be the focus instead of whoever has the deepest pockets gets all the goods.

Please understand...id be OVERJOYED if DB decreased the prices on everything in-game, but since they seem like they never will because 'to split the golden goose open and get 10 gold eggs is better that waiting and getting more over time' seems to be their reasoning. This idea is mostly just to alleviate ff beholds.

With whales still spending, regardless of the outcome they really isn't incentive for DB to change things. I wouldn't pay more just to avoid the ff beholds, but you can be damn sure that I'm not spending any money on the game anymore while the portal just yields honour fodder for me.

I am only buying event pulls where I don't have the SR cards ff, and I have reduced just to monthly card only.
