MasterPass EXP gain extremely low

I cant believe that people like you exist. You are the very reason we get early access bad unfinished games with tons of microtransactions.

I was in that case not referring to PA, just in general with games nowadays.

There is a great difference between making a game free to play (from the start) and then offering Microtransactions, and charging 20 bucks and then adding Microtransactions as well. I was under the impression recreate games had a huge success with the copies sold and landing a deal with xbox. I mean its the first game the studio released and it definitely made them a ton of money no doubt. Makes me think they shoulda not included Microtransactions in the first place.

Im surely not the first player to write with this view on things. There are hundreds on steam, reddit etc. that share that view.

More importantly, you are missing the point - which is that the MasterPass XP rates are a lot worse when compared to the LotusPass, which was a grind as well but more than achievable. MasterPass does not seem achievable at all and gives so much less XP than LotusPass. That was my gripe with the game currently.

I am playing everyday and more than 2 hours definitely.
Will see after it ends I guess if the MasterPass XP was actually fair and balanced or not.

Keep in mind that I complain, share Feedback & Bugs etc. only because I really enjoy the game and want it to shine in the brightest light.

And who exactly wished for paid DLC?

I hope you actually read the messages here. It is clear as day the way XP and Level Cap is set in place is to very hardly push buying Nemo Bucks with real money.

Here is the thing: It is understandable to have them so the game receives continues support and development (which is really great and people definitely appreciate it, dont act like we dont)... but then make it so people who dont have the time to play a lot, are not as skilled or just plainly wanna skip all the grind, can buy the nemo bucks and tier skips etc. .

But let the other part of your community, those who really put time and effort into the game, to receive Nemo Bucks as well without a hard daily restriction. Is that really too much to ask? The chances of getting Nemo Bucks out of the 3 daily boxes are extremely low. It is averaging around 12 boxes to receive a Box of Nemo Bucks. I play since release (and almost every day!) and have over 200 hours in the game, yet im not too close to getting all the skins I want.

Also the current XP situation is why we have afk farmers (I see one every 5th game, most notably a asian name account) or lots of leavers (for example: when the todays mission was to play and win a ball match and the map was a last stand map so they leave and queue again).

Simple way to fix it or greatly increase the amount of afk'ers is to do the same that we have for the normal XP for the Level Ups. When you win, you receive MUCH more XP then a game you lose. Could do the same for the MasterPass XP, so that people actually aim for winning the game.

For example:

Buff the XP ratio for MasterPass to approximately 200XP per won game.
And reduce lost game XP to a max. of 50XP.

Encourages playing the game and going for the win, instead of opting for afking.
"Microtransactions Problem" would also be fixed by either by removing the daily 3 boxes restriction or adding a guaranteed weekly 500 Nemo Bucks Mission (a hard challenge so maybe 10% of player actually achieve it).

Thoughts on this?

I dont get your point. If im understanding it correctly, then you have a absolutely horrendously bad idea, but only if I understand correctly.

Please clarify how what we have now is not miles better than the stupid stuff they have in League or Fortnite?

Im at Loss of word how you can even type that. It makes me thing GrannyMax went ahead and made a alternative account just to type that to himself to prove his point lol, its that bad. Please dont type that ever again for any game (unless you like losing 1000 of dollars for cute anime girl skins on your mobile phone).

@GrannyMax please dont listen to arti's comment, since this vision is not what the absolute majority of people represent or want.

You guys could not be more wrong. The day a paid BattlePass or DLC happens im gonna abandon ship right away. Terrible idea.

You wanna help the devs? Paypal them your money. But dont ruin the game for others.

This is not the type of game to have that nonsense. People a furious for having Microtransactions in this game in the first place even though it was a paid (non free to play) game. They are absolutely right to be angry and frustrated 100%.

But @GrannyMax explained us the reality is, that they need MTX for continues support and I can cope with that if the MTX are fair and actually obtainable for everyone if you play well / grind enough. That aspect is currently not as perfectly balanced as it should be, see my long message above. That is the change im asking for.

I would feel fooled if they ever included a paid BattlePass or anything else that is paid. (remember Lettuce skin? Remember they got some harsh backlash for it?) I dont want to see that ever again honestly.

And steam reviews clearly showed that the majority absolutely hates MTX and would forbid this idea of yours.

I will not continue answering, this is really taxing on my nerves I honestly cannot believe it. You should expect much more from game devs in general. Riot Games is leading up to be one of the worst developers. Maybe not as bad as EA, Activision, Blizzard, Microsoft, Ubisoft etc. yet but they are getting there. If you wanna know why you can see countless videos and forums about it. Im just saying all this so you understand that this behavior is what gives rise to more MTX in games.

And all of these post just are here to make sure recreate games dont go down the same dark, greedy path. Because the game is awesome and I do really care about it. Maybe we need a Appreciation thread for recreate games as well to celebrate awesome stuff that was added, because this is getting real depressing in here

oh brother, im sorry to tell you this but the world you live in is a lie xd.

Overwatch 1 was a huge success winning game of the year and had immense amount of sales and even kicking of a huge hype for Esports. OW2 is absolute garbage, I will leave it at that. You can inform yourself as to why that is not just my opinion but objectively just the truth when compared to OW1.

Same for League of Legends. It used to be a good game... Nowadays it is very terrible. Their sole focus is to make the player as addicted to the game as possible. They only care about money. This is not common knowledge to the average player obviously. You gotta stay up to date to know this kind of stuff and what they rob the community off.

I dont think I will get through to you, so I wont continue commenting on this I played both OW1 and League a lot so im not just pulling this out of my butt. I really know those companies and hobby wise im always informed about the current situations of the companies, their reputations etc. .

I personally quit League like a week ago knowing Vanguard is on the door step and I dont want that. I have fond memories of the game but its not worth my time anymore. In fact it is not worth yours either, I hope you will see that sooner than later. This is mainly aimed at riot GAMES. Riot "everything else" is pretty good. Like the music department, their animation studio for the netflix or their side games /"indie games" department.

Anyway... to get back to Party animals... Please understand that with your behavior you will fuel the devs' egos and make them eventually go down the same type of path, might be a long stretch but it starts with this. The devs sold over 1 million copies, which is absolutely huge for their first game, they really dont need MTX at all. That said I would like to round things up and say that I have been convinced that it is okay to have them in the game, only if they are obtainable for every player who really plays well and /or grinds a lot.
