I agree, the 20$ cash = 200ec. But, i think people are mostly complaining of the bait and switch. Promos given to entice ec purchase and the expectations that the sp/BP could be purchased with those ec. And then without warning they changed the program. I suspect if folks had known of the change those promos would have been less successful. Just my 2 cents.
People are upset mostly over the fact that this change was unwanted, unnecessary, AND a huge surprise. on top of that, you can get EC on this game without spending money and people have been saving up for this very thing (storypass is long over due), plus dropping a money pass AFTER having a box promo (which people have said they bought EC for SP specifically for saving) AND giving the VIP boxes in shop too, it’s all screaming a cash grab and we are tired. We don’t even have to talk about the dumb ass shard scandal they just had too
When I heard the story pass is out, I considered doing the offerwall or tapjoy offers to get myself ECs. Joke's on me, it's for cash and not ECs 😂 Just tell me that ATA is anti-poor rfn
I like that you guys ask for feedbacks from players, and absolutely do the opposite of it 👏 You've read the feedback from last sp... and you guys definitely went above and beyond to disappoint us again. Love that for you!
Don’t know why everyone is complaining tbh. It’s not like you guys will ever follow through with a boycott of any sort. The game has only gotten progressively greedier bc the devs know the players are too stupid to do anything meaningful about it 😭😭
Like I see 10 different people in this thread complaining yet still getting the pass. Like okay, whatever, but don’t complain about shit if you’re not going to do shit about it
Does anybody else know the thing that happened to Shrek 4? Dreamworks got berated so bad about the preview that they released that they had to remake the WHOLE movie because everyone guessed the plot and was super upset with the new style. Honestly ATA, take some notes from Dreamworks and just remake PIMD atp. But you’re not going to listen to much of our feedback because those of us who HAVE money are going to buy it regardless and give you what YOU want. Not what we’ve BEEN TELLING YOU what WE want. I’m not impressed
Just adding my complaint to the others in solidarity. I'm so damn angry that this is a IAP and not able to be purchased with ecs, after spending at bbb over promo. Lame af tbh. I'm over this ATA, listen to your damn players. Also... $30.99 AUD. Really?????
Fr lol. It's the same with companies like Netflix and Spotify raising their prices. They don't revert back because they made more money. People are too addicted to stay away (not judging btw, I'm people) Every little update just feels like a "Hmm, if they let this slide, we can do something crazier next time", and they will do something crazier next time. I know they're a business and have to make money somehow, but doing a 2x promo on bbbs, and then bringing in what's essentially a story pass that you can't buy with EC is honestly (and I mean this respectfully) slumy and shitty behavior that should not come from a game that has a whole discord community. The reward are nice, and might be worth it, but to get them all, you'll probably have to spend sometime in an EC club. So you're essentially paying money to allow you to pay more money 😂 Plus, what happened to cats and dogs drops counting towards it? I don't wanna drop my 24+ cats and dogs in vain 😂
SP Sellers should sell SP at very high price like 100B make it the most expensive SP event ever in PIMD History.
why did you call this battle pass? what are we battling for? there is no pvp task lol why not just stick to story pass? it is still not too late to add 199ecs option for this bp. all players are complaining about this. yall did the 2x buddy boxes promo, then bp are all in cash. funny. the avis not really up to my liking. if i ever buy this bp, it is just i want the rewards lmao also, you can actually do the office crush theme without sexualizing the avis. so basically we just need to collect the bp drops from parties, open timer boxes, spin the spinner, use pimkey, use dn? sounds so not fun. i love the old sp! the one that have different task for each tiers. that is the fun of sp, not this bp. it is lame and boring and plain. i love how you already included the free pass for everyone without needed to purchase it. i kinda like it how you display all rewards in the xc, easier for players to see if the bp worthy or not. i was soooo excited for the sp, but yeah yall keep disappointing us. i cant wait to see how yall gonna let us down us on BF hunt haha
Lol Ata why you have to make everything about real life money, not all of us spend real cash on this game and be honest when you have game currency as ecs than why the fuvk you have to do that again and again like every time it’s all about money, do you want some of us leave the game since this game is for those who have money , you made impossible for us to buy it even with with bentos like wtf 50 60 bentos for a sp do you think it’s worth , it was 8 to 10 bentos before but now you made us helpless thankyou so much ata i really enjoyed this game in a some point but now it’s hurt when you try to save ecs so much and with struggling playing your offerwalls games to win ecs and than you can’t even use them for main things that’s hurt I’m leaving this game today because it’s not good for my mental health lol you making this game pay to play …… and i wish you would have added with buying ecs option too not just real life money …. Good luck ata
Its me ✋️ Ill admit ive complained both about the SP here and the shards. You know what I did though? Didn't give ATA a dime to get these things. I spent EC I already had and paid for the rest in bentos. I cant stop other people from spending their money, ATA has their grip so deep in some people's pockets that I know full well organizing a boycott will be just as, if not more, difficult as yelling at ATA hoping for change. But I can not spend my own money on this 💩 while I yell into the void about it.
I understand you. But let me answer your question. People use PIMD in different ways: some use it to escape reality, some use it as a form of vindication and to feel (at least here) special, some are literally addicted to it because, let’s be honest, this game can easily become addictive, some keep playing only because they’ve built connections with people (tbh that’s the only good thing about this game), and some just play casually in their free time (which is the healthiest way). Now, for some people it’s important to keep up and not fall behind, because keeping up with things in PIMD makes them feel "better". Personally, I couldn’t care less. I will never buy this story pass unless it comes to ECS, and since this time no Dev gave a shitty reply, there won’t be any “apology” update to pretend they’re sorry. (Let’s remember that even narcissists first treat you like crap and then give you a little gift to keep you quiet, but they don't listen to you for real). That said, I wouldn’t be shocked that people still buy the story pass, and we shouldn’t even judge them personally, since there are countless reasons behind it. But yes, I agree with you: real riots are made by acting, not just talking, and that’s never going to happen here.
A) why is it called a battle pass if there isn’t even a PVP aspect to it? B) I much preferred the old story pass format with tasks. This new one is just completed by playing the game, which is stale and boring right now. Give us mini challenges to keep us coming back. Some days I forget to log in now. Please change the format back to mini challenges for your next Story/Battle/Whatever pass.
