LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Beauty and the Beast Story Pass 🥀

This story pass is horrible. Usually I can complete the story passes no problem. But this one? I've been struggling to finish it. The drops are easy to cap but the last chunk of points each week has been a nightmare. I hate it. A lot of players hate it. I don't think I've seen a single person say they absolutely love this. And if they have said that - they're nuts. Please never do this again. I liked the chimera sp better than this - and I hated that SP too. But at least that one was possible to finish.
 
Sooo uhh, im usually not the one to compain… but i have 1h left and im not done. I am a pretty active player but the points to get after the rings from parties? Huge struggle without dropping lots cats and dogs or idk. Dont have the ecs for that and dont want to spend to then get one cat and a slow jam in return :D
Players paid for the premium storypass, to get rewards, the last weeks are not doable enough, gimme my rewards for free… and dont do it like that again, thank you
 
I’m glad I finished this story pass. Please for the love of god, do not do a pass like this again. It’s really not worth it and definitely not fun. Thank you for trying out new things but it was an utter disaster to get this one to finish.
The messy clutter with the finished weeks was just really really terrible and super messy.
 
I hate to say this, but if you spent ECs to finish the story pass for the sake of completionism, then ATA played you for a sucker. If ATA sees a spike in EC spending for rewards as piddly and goalposts as ridiculous as the ones in this story pass, they’re absolutely going to do something like this again regardless of the backlash.
 
Even though I lowkey complained about wanting an extension on the official PIMD Discord, I somehow ended up finishing the event after cramming for 2–3 days.. by doing flashes and hosting/joining Kini pop-ups.

The rewards were honestly really good. A friend tabulated everything, and I’d say it was worth the 199 ECs but you fr gotta finish it. That said, I still hate the format. If only the last few tasks didn’t demand an extra 200–450 points, it could’ve been a decent experience for the average player. Right now, it just feels punishing unless you go all-in or start spending on here
 
I've already got the Avi I want. And 1 of all the misc. I'm not interested in any of the other avis, why can't I buy misc with what I EARNED?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE REMAINING GOLD COINS??

Every week I keep getting reminded of how stupid my decision was to buy the story pass without looking at forums first🤦🏿

All the previous replies have said what I wanted to say but keep bringing in the shitty money grab decisions. There's only so much nonsense players who spend real world money on this game can take. At some point, it's just pure disrespect.

This was apparently a beta test, but so far, there has been absolutely nothing from the devs. You don't do a beta test on the entire player base, charge the same price as the normal version, and then not engage with the community at all.

I had the ec and cats to finish the last week of the story pass but chose not to because it was absolutely not worth it. Please bring back this format again just so I can save money (both irl and ec)🫶
 
Hated this method... couldn't even complete the final one before it being taken away. Was literally only 100 points off. Thankfully it was just the 10 coin male avi I didn't get but still ridiculous. I've never been so mad at a SP. Truly wanted me to stop playing this game or buying any future SP. Do better ATA. We didn't ask for this. What we do ask for yall ignore us (cough cough... being able to open speed up boxes in bulk).

I've been in an EC club for the past year and a half. It doesn't help much. There's still load of points that needs to be grabbed by othan than party hitting actions. If you don't drop SEVERAL ec drops each week of the SP or burn shitton of dns/pim keys weekly this thing can't be completed.

With that said overall this SP sucks badly.

Very true. I meant that we would need to be dropping at ec clubs and going to flashes as well but it was a really bad story pass :(
 
Earlier in this thread, I used the term F2P with respect to some people who bought the story pass. I think this is a mistake on my part. Nobody who bought this disaster of a story pass is really F2P. If you got it with offerwall ECs, you still lined ATA’s pockets. If you got it by trading, you lined the pockets of someone else who lined ATA’s pockets.

ATA has been dead silent and even tried to bury the thread by unpinning it halfway through before the event even ended. Actions speak louder than words, though, and ATA’s manipulation of weekly point requirements shows exactly what they think of players who bought the pass. They definitely have been watching, since the weekly non-drop points briefly decreased when criticism was particularly intense before spiking up again.

Honestly, I don’t remember the last time where ATA showed this level of contempt for its players. I hope this is the last time, but we’ll see.

I didn’t realize until you put it that way, and I’m starting to get worked up again just thinking about it.

And the more I think about the more things I come to realize, and how much of pisses me off. Besides the fact this was made for leaderboard players, have you noticed the things you can completely quickly and almost instantly (if you have the money for them) are worth more? Cats, dogs, & kinis are faster and easier to get than DN/keys; yet keys and DNs are faster than timer boxes. Things most players will save up for special events or hunts, we were forced to blow through. And bc you saved them up they were harder to use bc you had to use them strategically per week and were time consuming like hell. It’s like they were punishing regular players for not spending money.

Also i honestly wish I would’ve calculated the cost/value of what we were spending vs what we were earning each week. I know I said this before but I’m sure between everything — ec clubs item drop, speed ups, keys/dns, & flashes — we had to have spent hundreds if not thousands of ecs weekly. I’m pretty sure we spent more than we got back each week.

Honestly it doesn’t feel like the rewards were worth it at the end, even with the avis and misc.
 
To add to the reviews, they intentionally spaced this out in such a way to prevent people from planning things out. Then the delays plus a lack of clarity on how many xc stories to work through meant we couldn’t possibly pace ourselves effectively, so if any of the previous weeks were delayed on your end, you would have to rush through to complete the next stage, possibly resorting to ec options to keep up.

ATA should be addressing our concerns but it’s very telling that they still remain silent on this issue.

Agreed and not only that it felt like they were monitoring us or at least the leaderboard players, seeing how much they’re willing to pay to finish this and adjusting the SP accordingly to make spend as much as possible. I think there were 2-3 weeks where we were giving a ton of hate and the non-party drops increased only a little compared to the week prior; and the non-party drops on second to last week dropped by 50ish points compared. Only to raise it around 100 non-party drops the last week, which felt like a big SCREW YOU from them.

The last one I completed was close to 400 non-party drops. I didn’t see the final xc.

Anyone know what I can do with coins if I don't wanna buy the Avi?
What would the misc items sell for?
