I think the new game mode is awful
How in the hell did snowprint think this would be a cool idea? OK. We get to watch numbers go up. Awesome. Oh you added ANOTHER shop? How cool. Oh! We get EVEN MORE paid offers for new currencies? Amazing.
I absolutely see why Nandi quit. No single part of crusade is "fun" to me.
If any of you are having fun with it, please tell me how. Because to me, it's just a very obvious cash grab to get hyper-competitive guilds and players to spend a fuckton more money.
What about this is fun? I spend on this game probably about $10 a week. I am happy to spend money on things that are fun and that I find enjoyable. I can't find one single thing about this that's enjoyable.
To me, this tells me that Snowprint has been looking at all these different metrics, their player numbers, retention rates, spend per player, etc. And they have found that new player retention rates are plummeting, they are hemorrhaging long term players due to burnout, and they can't keep most players spending because most people have realized there is no, "catching up."
So what they are doing is slaughtering the cow. Or the whale, to be precise. This new game mode is the single best way they can get ultra-competitve, end game players to shell out cash while the game dies a moderately slow death.
Edit: I posted this in the other tacticus sub and got banned because they said this is "spam."
I'm guessing that mod REALLY loves crusade mode.
