Here, I explain why this game is not my favorite anymore after spending 10s of $ and 1000s of hours of my time to it. (and got disappointment in turn)
If you don't want to read the rest, I can summarize it to one word:
-The game is very very unfair to people who start the game lately, why? :
Developer manipulate every parameters in the game, almost impossible for you to succeed unless you spend 1,000s of hours and 1,000 of $.
Examples:
1-From early this year, you can't buy the same card if they appear in the guild shop! therefore, odds for you to get best cards are many many times less compared who installed the game in 2013 or earlier (There are lots of discussions in this forum and developers say they didn't know you can buy the same card multiple times for years and you shouldn't!! Thanks)
2-Chances of getting HP cards and Panzer is reducing further and further.
3-Panzers are not offered any more after May 2014! what? after playing half year and building up to be able to hardly get them, now they are going to be gone!! Thanks!
Here are more details:
There are ~340 cards, other than the followings (~34), the rest are almost useless:
-8* defense cards like Cyclops king and Dragon Paladin. You only can obtain the 6* version through Gem-recruit. The odds are 1 in 1000s. You need to spend $1000s.
After all of these, you only have 6* version. You have to level them up (takes forever) then you should have 2 of the same card (now you understand why odds are too low) plus some special materials to evolve them to 7*! The same procedure should be repeated and you should level up the resulted 7* to evolve it to 8*!
-7* HP cards, these are essential cards for you to proceed in the game, you can get 6* from guild shop but again odds are around 1 in 10,000s. Again the same painful and never ending process to evolve them.
-Panzer cards. These are 7* cards you can recruit them achieving special levels. You need to be very strong in order to do so (I am 5 month a few hours a day in the game and haven’t got any panzer yet)
Let take a closer look: If you already have a good team, it takes more than 1 hour of spinning to complete these panzer levels which you get doziness at the end! You need golden chests and chances of getting 1 is around 1 to 10 every time you play. Then chances of getting panzer is 1 to every 10 golden chest! so you have to spend 100 of hours! and 100s of $ for energy and revive potions to have a chance to get one!
I feel like contribution to global warming playing these levels in the current situation.
Now, the chances of getting a panzer not used to be 1 in 100 hours of game play but much much better and now it is your turn the chances are so low!
-Dragons: worse cards ever (you get a 5* at the beginning of the game). You get 2* baby dragons, you need a pair of the same, takes hours to evolve it to 3* youth! then 4 to have 4*, 8 to have 5*....16 to have 6* which are now a medium card because all of a sudden they skill appear in 25 turns compared to 10 turns of 2-3-4-5*
If you are ... enough to evolve them to 7 and 8* it is equivalent to 128 baby dragons!! leveling up half of them to level 20, spending numerous evolution materials, maybe 1,000 hours of work
and finally they are not as good as the above mentioned cards (Myself after 5 months of constantly play have some 6* and 5* dragons when I got disappointed about these facts)
PS: 8* dragon is nothing comapred to a 7* panzer!
What is going to be the next big disappointment? I can take anymore. What about you?
To developers: The game has all kind of disappointment to new players, please don't add up any further and thanks again for increasing the chance of baby dragons appearance in the shop.
