Grinding cards in this game is crazy

[Darion]

In other collectable card games you get tokens (or something equivilant) when you have duplicates. You can then spend them to craft new cards you want.

There doesn't seem to be that option here. Instead you have to "level up" your cards spending crystals.

Am I wrong?

Not really. Wild cards are in finite amount per each faction (see campaign + forge). Once you spend them, you can't get more.

For example, I have some rare (green diamond) cards missing. No wildcards left for those factions. It will likely take me many months (hopefully not years) to get those through drops and/or shop.

No. Luckily getting new card packs isn't too hard, but still it's rng, so yes, grind it is.

Im not sure, premium pass helps you get a decent deck, im missing a couple for Um - but in a sense, since the beginning of time, there is always that grind to complete a set or get that real rare card - so im use to it - thats in physical and digital realms

That's because this game is the same trash as all the other"free to play" cards games, they want to pressure people to pay to be competitive

this isn't anything new, it is the way all these horrible games do it nowadays

instead of just making a fun game that people pay once and play, and then fine tune the game

they want to try and earn more by releasing new content that is more powerful than the old to continue to sell to the dumasses that keep going along with this trash model

then they nerf those later and then release another new set of cards that become the new attractive cards that everyone wants to buy to be competitive again and then nerf them later

It is a bait and switch scam

this Everturd company has been doing this forever with their other game too

they are just ♥♥♥♥ gaming companies, they deserve to die

They are everything wrong with gaming companies. But because steam just cares about money, they allow this trash on here

they always ban and delete critical comments, it is the same in their ingame chat, they just ban you if you say anything true they don't like.

Can only hope it dies like others like this. But I think some of these gaming companies have different operations happening in the background, money laundering operations, and that is why they never go under. There is always someone funnelling money through them

Because if you do the calculations none of these models are ever successful enough to stay in business and when we see others like it that are not shadow backed by certain interests, they go under, they cannot sustain this same model.

That is very suspicious and should be investigated

Gamers should know if the game they are playing is involved in shady money laundering activity

F2p card games have only gotten more generous with the years. There was a cardgame I played like 10 years ago that was so miserly with its ingame currency you needed to play hundreds of matches for one boosterpack.

I'm not saying things are good. 50 bucks for the expansion pass is outrageous, you can buy a newly released game with no micro-transactions for that, but the best way to deal with it is to not spend money on things you don't support and do on things you do support. If you want to play a card game that doesn't eat up your time or your wallet, buy deck-builders, like Slay the Spire or Monster Train. Most of them are singleplayer but they don't charge extra for cards you straight up need to pull off your strategies.

I mean there is a team who has made this, and keeps adding content - they need to pay those guys and make a profit - as if a game can be truely F2P...come on. I have bought 2 premium passes since the games release - so £40 over a couple yrs in nothing. I can spend that on a take away

we are simply complaininng that the content aimed at recruiting and retaining new players is much less than the content designed to milk em.
