LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Beauty and the Beast Story Pass 🥀

Whoever designed this story pass wanted to make it hell for f2p players!! Not only does it require you to be 24/7 in an ec club but you need those damn 400 points which are hard af to achieve if you don't got tons of speedups to open capsules and timer boxes! So now I gotta go open my 9k speedup reward box one by one cuz y'all choose to make a new format for sp - that no one asked for- instead of adding a "open 100x" on those boxes 🙃

This SP was made for more hardcore players in mind, like anyone who’s on the t100 leaderboard. It was definitely not made for the majority of players.
Part of me thinks they only do the new weekly segment releases bc they want to see how fast those on the leaderboard finish it so they can up the point requirements accordingly to make it more challenging for them. That’s why the max limit to ec items is higher than max limit for timer boxes, bc they’re more than likely not gonna waste their time on those.

Also ngl if they were release this without the having players wait for the new segment weekly, this story pass may be good; but only if they keep the old SP as an option for the average player. They could’ve made VIP and/or VIP+ avis an option if you buy this SP format, and regular avis for the old format. Bc of ridiculous amount of energy you have to put into getting those points that aren’t drops.

I don’t even know if I’ll be able to finish this story pass.
 
379 points for one week is insane. It’s the equivalent of 19 cats, 64 kinis, 28 dogs, 76 dns or key boxes, or 190 timer boxes. This is only week 9, and things can get even more outrageous.

It’s clear that this pass is designed to be impossible (or at least insanely difficult) to complete without spending ec items. This is definitely a strange place for ATA to give F2P players the middle finger, since story passes aren’t exactly free to begin with!

It gets disgusting when you consider that every previous pass had free options, e.g. adding people, gifting, and pvp, to advance the story. Even then, the entirety of the ec routes for previous passes were easier than a single week of this pass, since you didn’t have to be the dropper in ec parties in the previous ones. It’s honestly impressive how they turned a paid experience into an obscene cash grab.

I’ve already burnt through a huge stash of spins and speedups and can’t be bothered to keep going, so I’m tapping out after this week. If this is the format for future story passes, then this is probably the last one I’ll ever buy.
 
100% agree with this. I gave it a chance. How bad can it be?

There's still 3 weeks of this... This is absolutely ridiculous. I have never had to use this many resources to finish any of the other story passes. Why do you guys keep trying new things out and starting them off on insanely difficult levels? When you test something, you should start it out easy THEN make it harder, not just make it damn near impossible from the get-go! 379 points from other activities means, like, 200 timer boxes/leveling up pets. That is an INSANE amount of speed-ups. I bet y'all are trying to make us run through our speed ups so you can drop a new event or activity that requires us to use them, but wait, we blew through them for this ridiculous story pass. The rewards are still pretty crap, by the way.
 
After finishing the drops quest and the remaining 379 points? Come to think of it, it is very horrendous. Even if I have hoarded spinner tokens, speedups for timers-pet capsules-feeding, I would still say it is very horrendous.
This is straight up forcing us to drop premium parties items, or opening boxes with pimkey.

No fun and joy in doing story pass anymore since these bullcrap happened.

Please, in the future, for the love of God, never do this kind of shyte again, ATA.
Unless you don't care about your players, no matter p2w ones or f2p ones.

Oh and also, the XC template is so annoying. I believe we would like to have our XC boards organized, not scrambled like this.

Thanks.
 
The next week extra points better be less than week 9.
Otherwise it'd be impossible to finish a sp that we already paid for to start it.
Me for myself SURELY won't buy vip version if this method is going to be the method of the next story passes even though these passes were one of the main reasons I was playing
 
From what I’m seeing the worst part about this whole thing it doesn’t seem like they’re going to be giving us that much extra time to finish the SP. It finished in 23 days while the Avis and misc will only be in the store for 28 days. And there is no way that’s happening with how things are going.
 
As the sp progresses, I initially thought this is actually better than previous format, because I was able to do majority of the sp with just drops. But boy I was wrong. The increasing number of drops is outrageous. I spent way way more dns than I've earned from this story pass. Go back to the previous format, this shit ain't it.
 
I thought last week’s insane 379 points was some kind of mistake since it was such a huge jump from the previous week. Turns out that it wasn’t. I don’t think I need to repeat how outrageous this week’s point requirement is.

It’s definitely interesting that ATA unpinned this thread while the event is still ongoing, which is something I don’t recall seeing often. It’s not hard to imagine why 🤭

Honestly so sad to see how much extra spending is expected on top of a story pass you already have to buy to even play 🙃

For people who aren’t avid players or don’t have ecs or DNs to burn it’s not worth it.
Depending on what you decide to do it can cost ppl anywhere between hundreds or thousands of ec,
This week is 387 points ppl need:
  • 19.35 cats x 69 ec = 1,335.15 ec
    • 20 cats = 1,380 ec
  • 27.6429 dogs x 49 ec = 1,354.5 ec
    • 28 dogs = 1,372 ec
  • 64.5 Kinis x 34 ec = 2,193 ec
    • 65 kini = 2,210 ec
  • 77.4 DNs/Keys x 10 ec = 774 ec
    • 78 DNs/Keys = 780
Even if someone were to just do the DNs/keys approach that’s a lot amount of DNs/EC to burn through that most players don’t have and we don’t get though the SP.

I also don’t even want think about or even try to calculate how many ec it would cost the if we didn’t timer speed ups for boxes, pet capsule pet feedings 😭
