Even though its still Beta if the video cap is legit count me out for 2020.

Edit: Ok I’ll move on after this I know not a lot care about watching ads for gold. As already stated the attempt is to obviously push teams to go D6. Every new year of Tsb changes are made to be more profitable many of us have watched the changes. At some point they are going to have to look at their product, profit, and customer base and say enough is enough. Unfortunately reality is no one ever has enough $$. Their greed is not justified their product was terrible at times this year...Mistakes were constant and still are. Functional ad limiter in 20? Well that’s enough for me... this level 16 all star that also watches videos 12hrs a day... will be OUT

I think a lot of players that are paying customers much like VIP or close to VIP players will be gone. But it seems to me a lot of customers are starting to see how bad Glu has gotten with money, even though customers keep spending. So my hope is that they will take the Limit off once the game gets going and people run out of money.
I think the reason for putting a cap on the ads for now is to prevent those who are playing right now to get a big head start. For example, if I watched 120 vids every hour for 10 hours, and the game did not come out for 30 days, then I would have an insurmountable head (180,000 gold) start that simply wouldn't be fair. So I think (and hope) that this gold limit is only for the beta to prevent people from gathering too many resources.

I like that theory, and hope you are right. I think you are likely wrong, based on GLU's greed pattern.
Yes, we are aware of the game having crashing issues in the middle of WoH, but we can't compensate you for the gold you lost at this time. This is done on a case by case basis. - TSB Customer Service
False, all the proposed changes they are talking about will likely stick. Cool Down is still in effect, the reason why no one sees it is the new teams we all made. The proposed changes for diamond they are implementing are a joke, limiting the d6 cycles to x number a week. I dont understand why this company keeps making poor decisions that ultimately destroys the game. You have a great user base that plays and spends, why are you making such bad decisions when it comes to game dynamics? Either way, the way its looking now I will not be playing 20 with these changes. I have spent too much money over the years and I think @drsmartassphd is right when this year will be even worse when it comes to milking its players for $$$. The video cap will likely stay, so watch your 750 gold a day and you get to pull 1 box a day. lol

The reason they do dumb shít that limits the amount that f2p players can do, is because they don't care about those players, and want to limit the amount those players can do. So the f2p players that were mad about cooldown either left the game entirely, or continued playing but with less resources available, requiring them to spend. Few players can shed the addiction of this game, which just makes them fork over more money.
And for the top players, these guys fork over thousands every year. The last thing they worry about is how much they're spending, so they pay extra with no qualms.
Glu makes little changes, one at a time, to slightly curb the amount that free to play players can get out of this game. Those changes add up over time, and incentive that player to spend money to stay in the game.
If you doubt what I'm saying, ask yourself this: does Glu make changes that hurt the casual, f2p player, or do they make changes to hurt their big spenders? Obviously it's their prerogative to hurt f2p players, and those players keep giving in to the wiles of Glu. Because people can't shake the game entirely, Glu preys on them continually to increase their profits.

I don't want to whine about it, but the truth is every year they make the game a little less user friendly. They've done it gradually to keep us all hooked, but every update I worry that they're going to push me out of the game entirely. I have no doubt the video cap is permanent, and I'm somewhat surprised they haven't done it sooner. This is likely a precursor to an even lower video cap in the future (if not completely eliminating videos for gold). They want people to have to spend. They have no reason to change for as long as the game continues to be profitable.
In short: TSB will likely to continue to trend, slowly, away from a game that can be played on a F2P basis.

I think this is yet another move that would come back to bite them. With unlimited d6 cycles, I'm on the app constantly and purchase field pass twice a week. Not to mention that I do make other purchases, because I'm actually on the app playing the game. I can see with a limit of, lets say 5, d6 cycles per week that I would basically buy field pass on Monday and play WOH that day, then get my 5 diamond cycles in before the weekend. Then likely not even play the weekend unless the boxes are good. Or, on Royale weekends I may alternate that and just play WOH on Monday (no field pass), then take Tue, Wed, Thu completely off and then buy field pass on Friday and do my 5 diamond cycles over the weekend. Bottom line is my screen time on the app will be cut in half, which means a lot less purchases as I won't even be logged on to see the deals.

If they ultimately said, we don't want it to be F2P, that's fine but then they need to adjust their rates. 600-700 gold for a box that gives you a 1.3 or even 2% chance of getting a good player is ludicrous. I bet most of the F2P players have probably put in a decent amount of cash game anyway and that wasn't worth it. Remember all the Android sh*t we had to go through? Is this a product that warrants these prices?
I bet instead of 2X gold weekends, they'll have unlimited video weekends but keep the rate at 5g/video.
I havent read all of these comments, so forgive my ignorance of this question. If you are currently playing in the beta, is there no wipe before full release?

No there isnt, but in all honesty it makes little difference. There are no good players until the USA release. Last year I played for 6 weeks, when it was released in USA guys caught up to me in less than a week.
I'm confused by what you mean by 5.7 and 5.8. You mean the round and level?

When has glu ever been concerned about the game being fair? 😂
Anyone playing WOH in 20? Seems pretty ridiculous. I tried HR Derby and cruised through all 5 levels. WOH level 2 was really hard. Same for 3...just curious of others experience today?

I've heard 5 times per week, which would probably cut my time spent on the app in half. (yes, I'm crazy and play lots of BGs/tourneys)
