Afaik they already responded to flak from the CN community, apologized and promised to not do something like this again

As you can see they did do it to Global server.

I can kinda understand why, there was only a 3-day delay between the updates between them and us (and considering that feedback was not instant it was even less time in reality), plus CN players could get mad if they see that global got a better deal than them. This already happened on release when CN players review-bombed the game because getting some skins is much easier in global. I remain hopeful that they won't repeat this mistake.

To add: removing them now would not be great either since they'll basically scam all the players who bought them already. While they could refund the currency they probably can't refund the money players spent to purchase that currency.

Yeah, this game is firmly in the "play casually without ever spending on it till it shuts down" category for me. Global is very much a secondary concern for the devs anyway.

You know that would be too late, it happened in Paladins before where they made cards stats Pay2win in the past. And Strinova devs are repeating the same things. These pay2win cards will forever be a stain in their record just like in Paladins.

Basically everyone that knows p2w mechanics are literally a bad thing:

Same boat. Different people.

How is this err... pay to win?
As in what cards do you get / how much win do you pay for?

[Androt]

I mean you can't literally win in this mode but yeah... It's more like pay for fun

[⚡ Zio Kenzaki ⚡]

Whatever you buy it or not, is a waste of bablo. I never manage to get those cards, since the RNG is this mode is so piss.

Also, remember the pay skill cards in EA battlefront on launch?

[Luxaeterna]

Its not a matter of waste of real money, it a matter of the what the executives business decision making to make the game pay2win. If the players simply accept these cards, they can slowly implement more pay2win mechanics since the players are defending these pay2win features.

[⚡ Zio Kenzaki ⚡]

Well you can relax, cuz the majority of the people are not cool with this. not to mention, outbreak mode gonna be empty after the event is over.
