LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Battle Pass: Office Romance 💾 ❤️‍🔥

They're literally in the gaming industry, which is to MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY(keep them entertained)....
In turn they make money doing so.....
That doesn't mean they should get away with anything they sale just because YOU like it.

PIMD is about 80% p2w/p2p, which at that point is just ridiculous.

Stop making excuses YOU ARE NOT THEY'RE DEV, NOT THEY'RE ACCOUNTANT, NOT THEY'RE LAWYER.

Infact, PIMD OR ANY OTHER GAME ATA MAKES WOULDN'T BE SUCCESSFUL IF IT WASNT FOR US... SO YEAH THEY SHOULD HAVE THE DECENCY TO NOT CHARGE FOR EVERY LITTLE DAMN THING.

Well yes, their job is to make games and keep people entertained. And that involves paying them for doing that. So what exactly are you getting at? The fact that they're getting too greedy? I'm not disagreeing with anyone with that.
I don't like it, but I'm also grounded and don't have unrealistic expectations. But also ... How are you still surprised when a company starts charging their customers more? It's everywhere. They do it because they can, and they know customers will still pay for it. People need to learn to close their wallets.

I am not the dev, but I'm in the tech field so I know first hand how much work goes into something that seems trivial to other people.

Just like you voiced your opinion everyone else can this game isn’t an necessity if everyone stop playing then they’ll get their ish together people pay almost $100+ monthly just for subscription they’re allowed to voice their opinions on something they think isn’t fair. you ass kissing a company for doing their loyal players wrong shows your character…people spent hella money on bbbs or did hella offers for the store pass, ata yap in campus all the time they could’ve warned people

I didn't say people couldn't voice their opinions? How did you come to that conclusion? Lol

You're right, this game isn't a necessity. You don't have to pay for it. You don't have to pay that $100+ subscription. You don't have to partake in any BBBs. You literally don't have to do any of those.

People still keep doing it and it's what drives ATA to make more bold decisions. You can't partake in BBBs, flashes, and everything that costs money, and get mad at ATA when they ask for more money.

Like a year ago I was telling a friend about this game and the look in her face when I explained to her what a BBB is ... Do you know how absurd they sound to someone that doesn't play pimd?

Arguing in support of a company was not on my to-do list this year but some of you need a reality check. Won't be replying to this again.

You literally can get mad, you literally don't have to accept it, and you literally can say why... that's the whole entire point of feedback. Just because YOU say "well I'm not paying" doesn't mean others aren't doing the opposite, nor does it mean I have or should sit back and be quiet about it either....

 

[CapedClown]

ATA been real quiet since this dropped

Check out their last Story Pass debacle. So many pages and can you guess how many times ATA posted in the thread where they said they were interested in feedback?


Not once. Unless you count the initial post.

They’ll probably pay this thread the same courtesy. This thread will probably stay active up until the next big event that upsets everyone.

Does anyone know if you can do the pass again after finishing it? for vip and the free one. *I re-read the forum but couldnt see anything.* Only curious cause the first two avi boxes I opened were male, I really want the female avi.

 

[Brattitude]

Next thing u know it will be 2 cents to even open the app.

You should be able to get both.

 

[luciddreams17]

It's not going to be bad, because it clear it doesn't matter what ata throws out, people will still buy shit

That is sooo true. Consumerism on its peak fs.

You will eventually get all fem and masc avis shown through one playthrough.

TURN OFF THE BATTLE PASS NOTIFICATIONS

 

[callmeDave]

So now that I've had some time to math this out I'm back. This is a giant money grab wrapped in an even bigger money grab package.

Not only are you expecting us to open our wallets and spend $20USD rather than ec we've been saving for months for a story pass, it's impossible for any PotD/PPotD club to finish this or even come close. Therefore, it's kinda ruining club loyalty for PotD/PPotD clubs, which already is a rarity here. People will end up hopping for sessions to try and finish this.

Up until now for this current hunt, my club has ran an average of 13 parties per day. That gives a max of 1,365 points if people don't sleep and hit every party to get max drops. That comes nowhere close to the highest tiers for this battle pass, leaving a huge chunk of points to come from other means.

(Side question......why does pro not drop more of these story/battle pass items than PotD? They drop more of other items but never these which makes zero sense.)

You can open at max 3 timer boxes per day for an additional 30 points (without speedups or a sub to open more than one at a time), which still doesn't help all that much.

Spinning the spinner gives miniscule points in the big picture of things. Which leaves using DN and keys, which if you don't have those saved up also takes money.

The most active players in my club will most likely only reach the 130,000 tier and that could be pushing it a little, when most could finish the free part of a story pass without issue.

I fully don't expect to be given things in this game and understand ATA is a business after all out to make money, but to not even be able to come close to finishing this in a PotD/PPotD club is disheartening. It's difficult enough to keep a PotD/PPotD club running successfully without something like this that is mathematically/realistically impossible for people to finish. Finishing the free version of a story pass was never an issue. Finishing the free version of this, yeah not happening so why would I even want to spend the $20USD?

The rewards for this are nicer than previous story passes, but I'd still like for effort to count more, especially for what is supposed to be the free version.

Also...unless my brain has shorted out from all of this or I've missed something, the dates given in this thread for the duration of the battle pass is 79 days, but the countdown for the xc is like 84 days?

79 days to purchase 84 days to complete

79 days to purchase 84 days to complete

I sent a message to support questioning and got a reply earlier today. The dates here were wrong. The timer on the xc was correct. The original post was updated with the correct ending date. November 10 rather than November 5. Nothing was meant to be 79 days.

 

[Canaille]

Long post again...Number nerd back again now that the end date has been clarified. This is like being given a recipe for a delicious cake and you can't get the ingredients to make it for a large chunk of the player base.

As I've previously said, completing the free version of story pass was never an issue for the majority of my club. This format and the points needed, they don't stand a chance. The very limited way to earn points through non paying means (spinner and timer boxes) being capped is a hindrance for sure, not to mention there are way less ways to progress through this than there were with the different stages of story passes.

Members who are loyal to their PotD/PPotD club will be forced to hop out for sessions, flashes or last bars which in the end could hurt the PotD/PPotD clubs who already struggle to get members in and keep them because of the path this game has taken.

So now to the numbers to put this in a discouraging perspective.....

For mostly getting points from parties alone (no DN use or box opening since not everyone can afford that for a supposedly free version of something and assuming players don't have a sub running for a drop boost)

• 250,000 points = 2,976 points needed per day = 28 PotD/PPotD per day
• 205,000 points = 2,440 points needed per day = 23 PotD/PPotD per day
• 165,000 points = 1,964 points needed per day = 19 PotD/PPotD per day
• 130,000 points = 1,548 points needed per day = 15 PotD/PPotD per day
• 100,000 points = 1,190 points needed per day = 11 PotD/PPotD per day
• 75,000 points = 893 points needed per day = 8 PotD/PPotD per day

Now if we factor it in with people maxing the capped points for spinning and timer boxes, that takes off 4,500 points. So we'd be at:

• 245,500 points = 2,923 points per day = 28 PotD/PPotD per day
• 200,500 points = 2,387 points per day = 23 PotD/PPotD per day
• 160,500 points = 1,911 points per day = 18 PotD/PPotD per day
• 125,500 points = 1,494 points per day = 14 PotD/PPotD per day
• 95,500 points = 1,137 points per day = 11 PotD/PPotD per day
• 70,500 points = 839 points per day = 8 PotD/PPotD per day

So all of that proves the free methods of earning points (parties, timer boxes and spinner) basically don't help anything and are realistically impossible for anyone who doesn't go to sessions, flash or hop for lbh to even come anywhere close to finishing what is supposedly a free option of something. Much less even more unrealistic for smaller stat players to get much of anything at all from this.

Personally, if it was closer to realistically possible to finish this I wouldn't mind spending a little out of my pocket to get there, but seeing how far off this is with effort alone for what is supposedly free, I won't even want to bother. I'll just get what I get and move along, like I've been doing more and more with how cash grabby this game is now.

Hi! maybe this is a hot take and i'm one of the biggest ata haters on here.. BUT when i was strictly f2p, the part about the game i actually enjoyed was selling things, making chibis, making bentos, to then afford going to ec club sessions so i could actually upgrade (all still free options).

ec clubs are not paywalled, they are absolutely still a free option for anyone who would rather pay someone bentos to drop for them instead of purchasing their own drops. it's just the rate at which you can attend ec clubs is lower as a f2p player.

i understand it's hard for potd/ppotd only clubs to survive when ec clubs are essential in allowing players to grow but i don't think it's entirely fair for potd clubs to expect their f2p members to not take part in another avenue that is still potentially free for them. your post just seems like a limited view of what you have access to as a f2p player

 

[TheManipulator]

Anyone selling BP for 20 pls wm

 

[CherrySoda]

please make new boxes again, especially for cash purchases .. box justice

 

[Skyrim]

ATA must be trolling after the mess that happened in campus chat and the begging for story passes

Then what's the point of having a free option, when even if you're paying it's damn hard to complete, unless you take part in a paid club...
And no, ec sessions are free just because you paid in bento, #1 you had to give somebody something who had to pay for it anyway...
