Other Guest Stars will kill this game

[noconnection]

That title is not bait at all the way this new Guest Stars update was managed was horrible and sudden-

- So you're telling me not only do said Guest Stars have stats like normal Moves but they can go up to 20 and better yet these cost a pretty penny so good luck pulling for a Shiny

- This will 1000% make Rifts and even worse experience because now you can have even more bloated Defenders with crazy HP values

- You need Gold Retakes to retake a stat you don't like- How come there wasn't a Guest Stat specific retake for each of them?

Listen the concept is highly unnecessary, I'd say vault them entirely and refund the people who spent money or remove the stats they have because that's the biggest factor in all of this it will make the grind to have a perfect moveset that much more tedious and grindy.


Give us an update that makes sense I'll even give you a list:
- Reworks for Characters/Variants

- Add Guilds for the love of god its not even funny it hasn't been added for the past 4+ years


- Fix the Shard Exchange system making it more affordable

- Add the Shard Exchange system with other units that are already available

Better yet watch this video I made with @Kevin Pepino sure the guy quit but our statements still hold up-

I agree that giving them stats was a big mistake... From a business point of view, it's brilliant, because whales are gonna whale. However, just like you mentioned, this will most likely push away new players even further away from Rifts

Still quite early to judge, so let's see how this pans out


edit: a concern I've had for a very long time is how overly cluttered the UI gets. Having yet another button added makes the game look even messier than it does now

So you are telling me before this update your every character or at least every defender had +15 moves with perfect stats? It was already bad before the update, it is just even worse now.

I will never understand how them having high HP is the problem in rifts. The problem is that current catalysts favor only a handful of characters so people are just using those and most of the characters are unusable there because of unnecessarily gimmicky catalysts. It was a bad rework afterall.

The other problem is we currently have no way to decrease or disable unblockable guest star moves unlike tier 3 BBs.

- You need Gold Retakes to retake a stat you don't like- How come there wasn't a Guest Stat specific retake for each of them?

I agree there should have been an a "Guest Star Retake" for them and universal ones should still be usable that way too.

because that's the biggest factor in all of this it will make the grind to have a perfect moveset that much more tedious and grindy.

My moves were never completed to begin with and realistically speaking it takes incredible amounts of resources already. You would want at least 12 fully maxed defender Guest Star moves so you can equip them on your rift defenders. I have no idea how pricey it would be, can anyone do the math if they know about the dust and coin total requirements? This is not including the retakes you will have to spend on them ofc.

- Reworks for Characters/Variants

+1

I think current one is perfectly fine for late game players. Making the shard exchange store include units that is already available will only make the unbalanced situation of this game even worse. Even the new players will feel forced to stack their diamond shards so they can buy Death Wish with it. I don't like this idea at all.

New players must always be taken into account. I no longer struggle with big HP pools and high defense, but I certainly couldn't say the same a few months back. This change only makes the Whale vs F2P gap even wider
