That VIP gift was hot today ... just when I was ready to step back from Tap entirely, today I got Foxx, and now I’m about ready to re-subscribe to the VIP Power Parcels...somebody help me!
Dang - I wish I would have seen this earlier — I squeezed in a few matches in the last 5 minutes, and some big guns were waiting for me. Under 6000 meant I lost gold - but keep them coming, GLU!
I stepped back from the game...but did that pity timer ever appear? When it didn’t show up with the update, I cancelled all my subscriptions (and I was suckered into the VIP power parcel, so THERE!)...if the pity timer shows up I may come back
As to that pity timer — that’s what I was (still am?) looking most forward to. I tried to take it for a test run (after going Ofer on the last 3 boxes) with the replacement boxes. Paid cash for the 6 pack, and no timer started counting (only pull was Berrios, and I wouldn’t call him the “top pick”). I paid gold for one…
Ah...the simple days — before all the bonus players, etc...the leagues rewarded you for getting wins, hits, and runs! That’s it — no chasing players day after day! It reminds me of hearing stories (from my parents and grandparents) about the days before cell phones and color TV, when we played outside, too!
Of course, the counter-argument is that those players you bought are still bonus players, albeit minor ones (i.e. 1500 points for all Phillies batters with the Bryce is Back example). I agree with you all entirely, but we’re not likely to win this one.
As a guy who works 40+ hours, I appreciate the full day of bonus games (that way I don’t have to take long bathroom breaks to help my club out). If anything, I would do away with Tuesday’s prime event!
The other solutions to the slugger dilemma (over and above the Tuesday slugfest event): re-instate gold battles better rewards for each level (evo has been nice, but I need some PXP)
I’m more excited about the “gold spent during select fan rewards” counting towards the stadium. I am always so torn between spending or saving on weekends, and this should solve my dilemma!
I may be partly to blame for that; I’ve set personal bests this year for getting suckered into buying players with cash. If there are a handful more like me, it makes total sense for GLU to keep promoting their for sale players and not push too hard for fan rewards.
I’m glad this thread was findable. I’m new to VIP, and starting salivating over the woh skips. Since both my kidneys are intact, I was getting ready to do something crazy!
I have a bunch of 5* starting pitchers sitting; I’m hesitant to dump them because they occasionally come up as a mid-level bonus. Any non-skilled batters get traded in right away though.
I like the idea of making slugfest its own event again, and reinstituting gold battles! I’ve posted this elsewhere, but I shudder at what I’d become with a whole weekend of Royale; I currently spend all of Wednesday on edge trying to sneak the game in, and it’d get ugly if I had weekend after weekend of that!
