Thanks DFBB for a job well done. Will Clark is a 550max

Well I tried for over 5 or 6 weeks asking CS to change Will Clark to his true keeper value and got nowhere. I asked if @DFBB could help and make a ticket and see it would make any difference. Less then 12hrs later, coincidence or not they changed his stats. Call it what you want, but thanks buddy. Appreciate you took the time to make a ticket for it even though you dont even have him. ;)

    :D@DFBB can you put ticket in to CS and tell them to make me VIP then?
    Need more Living Legends!

    For CS to take longer than a few days on upgrading Clark is just insane to me.  Glad everyone who kept him finally got rewarded.

    I'm sure it's been discussed but what are thoughts on what happens to cost of leveling as the keeper factor is increased. Do you feel that xp and cash costs will diminish down the line or has Glu already made it clear that the exorbitant costs are here to stay regardless of keeper factor?
  • dkarski87dkarski87 Registered Users, Member 3,040 Posts
    Likely will remain as is @dustyhunks. IMO and many others the investment is worth it, maybe not above gold level but even 125k per keeper isn't that bad when you can cycle lots and bank the xp. Its a one time investment and they likely wont get replaced anytime soon. Even if they bump them .5 at a time which is my guess there stats will get a great boost.

    I think it’s way too steep to take any keeper past silver.  Unless you’re just throwing cash at the game constantly and cost isn’t an issue then there’s not much of change guys are going to load up their keepers past silver.  Especially with Glu already releasing players with skills very early.  I feel like it wouldn’t be smart to throw resources at the keepers at that cost when there will be plenty of more cost efficient options.  I’m assuming Glu will have to take a look at making it 2-3X instead of 5x the cost.

    125k per keeper isn't bad when you look at the long term investment. Especially when you finally level to gold you wont be moving anytime soon, definitely worth it if you maximize your resources intake. Perhaps not for the everyday casual player, but most of the regulars here are very good WOH and SF specialists that can cycle 10+ per event. Thats over 100k bxp per event, doesn't  take long to cap keepers if you can do that for 1 or 2 weeks.

    Also, all these 320max players you see know will be obsolete within 2 or 3 weeks, while the keepers will continue to get better down the road. No question they are worth it.

    Think of it this way, as long as they actually increase the factor by reasonable amounts the high cost is more than fine because you’re only upgrading keepers once versus a new player every other week.  
  • JdotChristopherJdotChristopher Registered Users, Member 392 Posts
    I agree with it being somewhat worth it if Glu does continue to level them up like they promised throughout the year.  But any of the regular, hardcore players can easily cycle without their keepers.  So it may be a toss up to if guys wanna throw resources their way or grind it out with their other guys.  I’m not gonna hold my breathe that Glu holds up their end of the deal.  I feel like they’ll raise the keepers max, and then release a player equal to or 5 points higher in the specials tab for $29.99 lol.

    Even if they do that those players are going to start costing prime and legend exp which will by nature be rarer and more difficult to acquire.  I can probably win without my two keepers too but knowing I have a double righty skill/double WoH guy I won’t have to pull later whom at least through gold I won’t have to replace allows for not being as beholden to having to pull as many guys even if eventually I do retire them and I don’t see that happening for a while.  If you do have plans for platinum+ later then my decision may change.
  • dkarski87dkarski87 Registered Users, Member 3,040 Posts
    How will they cost pxp or legend xp? Only the skills just like any other player. They take bxp in platinum or diamond. Unless I am misunderstanding your post.

    The main thing that will be problematic is when you get to where it starts costing gold to upgrade skills. You'll need 90k gold total for levels 17,18,19 (and then, gulp... 400 evo for level 20). 

    Unless my math is wrong, that is.

    Thanks, but let's be honest. I didn't do much. I know it may not seem that way at times, but our voices do get heard. Glad to see all the Clark owners get what they expected/deserved!

    It's not 5x across the board. The chart that circulated has proven to be incorrect.

    I dont think we know that for sure yet.  The original thought was everything was 5X the cost but after the skills went from 15K bxp on level 5 to 7.5K PXP on level 6, I think its safe to say thats not necessarily the case.

    That being said if anyone knows the skills cost for keepers skills after level 6 (7500 PXP), I would appreciate it :)

    I'd estimate that it's 5% every six weeks. That would give us about four weeks to enjoy our keepers at 100% of their true max.

    Awesome Job guys, I gave up after sending them proof and them giving me some bs line about reserving the right not to make him a 550 due to future releases..
