These unicorns are GORGEOUS! Wish they could be at least a very very very rare drop for f2p players. We have been waiting for new pets for a while after all. š¤§
So lets see. You can get the bronze subscription for 8.99 a month, for 5 vip tokens a dayā¦. thatāll be about 300 days if you do the math for 1500 tokens. About 30 days a month on average. So thatās about 10 months. Times 8.99 (plus tax). About $90+. Or you could do the Silver. Thatās 22.49 a month for 15 a day. Thatād be only 100 days. Which is just a bit more than 3 months at 30 days. Thatād be about $75 with tax. Little better. Last one would be the Gold Subscription at 73.99 a month. Gives you 50 a day. So that oneās easy. Just would need one month thatās 30(or 31) days. And itād be 73.99. Plus tax of course. So basically, if you want to get the unicorn petā¦. be willing to fork over over $70 worth in micro transactions to a fun āfree to playā game with in-app purchases whoās ticket price is through the roof. No point in introducing new stuff if it all comes with some outrageous price tag. Iādāve paid a one time payment of 19.99 for that. I do that sometimes with games and things, Iāll buy the booster pack starter pack whatever small but worth the price item they have for 1.99 4.99 9.99 19.99. Wonāt really pay over $20 for some digital thing like that though. Iāve made little purchases over the years, and itās all added up to cool stuff. Iāve gotten lucky with avis and furni. But the pay to play these days is ridiculous. Just btw.
Level 40 style is switched with the one thatās supposed to be bought with credits in game. āWinged Royaltyā is supposed to be for currency but isnāt showing, but āFloral Fantasyā is in that place instead. Please fix this bug. š¤
Why can't you make a Pet Capsule Unicorn? Feel sorry for the people who can't afford a Subscription. And for us who already used our Tokens on other stuff.
But wait, thereās more! Unicorn breakthrough items are only available by purchasing them with more vip tokens, so youāre not done spending after you buy the unicorn if you want to get it to a usable stat level. Letās also not forget how ridiculously hard it is to get ultra rare noms for a specific pet, which is made worse by the large number of categories diluting your chances. You can directly buy unicorn noms with vip tokens, and you will almost certainly have to if you donāt want to spend an eternity and a half waiting for them to drop normally from capsules. Overall, I think this is a huge win for ATAās whale milking machine and a big L for everyone else.
My VIP subscription ended after black friday, and tbh this doesn't make me wanna renew it. In fact it kinda makes me me more solidified in my decision not to so.
Mythical Pets Are Here⦠But Only If You Pay! š¦š° So, we finally got a new pet after ages, and itās stunning! āØsomething many of us have been asking for! Butājust like many of you have already pointed outāthis "exciting" update is basically locked behind a paywall. If youāre not already spending on the game, good luck getting it anytime soon or I can say the one who don't spend are basically out of luck.š©š¤” šø VIP-Only Access: I gotta agree with what others have said, this is a huge win for the devsā wallets and a big L for the rest of us. The pet is locked behind VIP tokens, meaning you either need to be a VIP subscriber for months or drop $70+ in microtransactions just to get it. And letās not forget that upgrading it costs even more VIP tokensāso your spending doesnāt stop at just unlocking it. 𤯠š² Luck-Based Noms: I know if you buy the pet capsules for 1500 VIP token you'll definitely get that unicorn.š¦ But wait, thereās more! š If you do somehow manage to get the pet, good luck getting the right noms to level it up! The ultra-rare noms are spread across so many categories that unless you buy them directly (with more VIP tokens, of course), youāll be waiting forever. ā³ āļø What Happened to Affordable Styles? Honestly, I remember when pet styles and options were way more affordableā49 or 99 ecs instead of the 199+ ecs we see now. And it's worth to mention that we used to get some good pet styles in Story pass or sometimes during an event for free. What happened to that? š© We asked for new pets, but instead of something fair for everyone, we got another "exclusive bonus" for high spenders. Honestly, Iād be fine with spending a little if there were better value options (like a one-time pet purchase for 19.99 with some level up already instead of a never-ending VIP grind). But this? This just feels like a "whale-exclusive" event. š³ Where are the options for long-time players who donāt want to drop $70+ on a single pet? š Wouldāve been nice if they gave at least a base version of the pet for free, with paid options for styles and upgrades. That way, more players could actually enjoy the content instead of feeling completely left out. š What do you all think? Fair addition or another overpriced gimmick? š¬
Congratulations Ata on yet another money grab. We should not expect any less at this point from a money hungry company. You definitely are making it easier to flip over and play different games
While I do agree it is unfortunate that it cost so many tokens to get the pet capsule and itās not available for f2p players, thereās a few things that people are complaining about that donāt make sense. Yes you can buy the leveling up material in store with the tokens, but the basic items are also available in both the 3 and 12 hr pet capsules if you have the pet. Pros for the other more rare items - they drop in another pet capsule that seems to drop at 5 levels increments, similar to the way normal pets drop a crate for other material not in pet capsules. The only difference that Iāve seen is itās a pet capsule, not a crate in your showcase. Con to these items - The forum mentions this is random, and since my pet is only at level 5, I canāt say itāll happen at each 5 level increment so token spending might happen more. I think itās fair to be upset that a new pet is not also available to f2p players, but remembering that making the subscription worth it for those that do pay for it has to be considered. Some sub payers may do it for the vip boxes and extra drops, but if the material you can buy with tokens isnāt updated it makes it less appealing and less worth paying for a subscription to the others that enjoy the new token exclusive drops. Ultimately if youāre patient enough, you could spend significantly less tokens on material to level these pets up. This doesnāt change that itās not available for the f2p players and thereās not something comparable for them but hopefully this clears up confusion that some may have because it did for me.
