I was always a prem player, however since they have ruined dueling and I no longer need prem to duel as the soldier tactics bonus is worthless and the hp too with a certain duel build.. ( the only effective duel build tbh ) I wont be buying any more nuggets as it dosnt afford me any benefit apart from a few hp .. which my adven toon dosnt really miss when dueling.
In order to get me buying prem they would have to renovate dueling again to make it worthwhile... saves me money tho and as its a dying game im more than content they have given me the ability to be able to compete at top level without the need for nuggets.
While i agree with what your saying about duel ,and id like it back to say 1.30 ,with a few builds an option instead of one ,i was more commenting on the update (and with the "times are changing" reset option ,i really cant see it being changed back)
With Colardo what appealed to me was non energy refill , with these though energy refill is avaliable , again its inno going back on what they said to me as a customer. Crafting was introduced basically so this update could happen , i said it back then , inno would bring in thier own crafted products for nuggets and here we are, although i do understand the west needs funds to go on ,and i am a premium player ,i think this really puts the balance on people willing to spend a lot on the game will have a massive advantage . Since skill points for nuggets its been clear inno have no intrest in the integrity of the game , so i dont think anyone should be suprised , but really ,inno dont have to have an intrest in it, and i have to say ,since i started with no markets ,goldens .pants or belts ,chests etc ,ive really liked a lot of updates ,and the real improvements that have come with it and i do see this as one of them , but , i think they have strecthed it with the reset skills and energy/health options for nuggets thats all , the rest is almost to be expected ,but i would like some balance left there for non prem to at least have a chance if there a good player to be competative.
Something that also bothers me is the comment about inno "controlling and adjusting" items in chests over the xmas promotion , i'd just like clarification on the intension of that meaning considering that costs of what was offered .
Overall though i think this is a good step in keeping long term and new players alike intrested, i dont think as vic pointed to that it's a "dying game" , i think it's a work in progress that they've gotten a lot right on with the updates ,and this update is in that as well ,but for me personally ,energy refills/health for nuggets is widening the gap just a bit too much .
