Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

At least the corns drop rate seems to be holding steady, cleared 9 tiles and got 7 1st time, have cleared 7 tiles to far and got 6 so not a terrible drop rate at all. Glad that anyone capable of clearing all the maps can indeed get all three versions of this girl and eliting her. I was concerned when I saw the third currency required but now not so much.

That's too bad, you're missing the whole experience! You see, this is actually a subtle homage to the trail of tears. You're supposed to feel the pain and desperation of the Cherokee as your tanks are repeatedly struck down by the living embodiment of plague. Ache with the desperate hunger as they fail, repeatedly, to find a single cornucopia. Here, you can know the suffering of being stripped of your possessions and dignity by the treachery of the white repair man. Truly, by letting us experience a small piece of this suffering the event humbles us, and makes us thankful.

Half way through the first map reset, gained 0 fcking cornucopias from it so far.
This is plainly retarded.

Zandel you lucky bastard you, seems like you got more than all of us here combined. But honestly, though ...
So far it seems highly improbable that most people will be able to get all 3 copies of the event tank. Not with drops like these.
Srsly, instead of Fucking RnG is it that big of a deal to hard program static drops, lets say 5 per map ? Coz then you have situations like these where some people get so much of it, they are not even able to believe the others who get totally F. over by RnG.

The repair chick is a latino/asian not white, take a proper look at her, and she aint a man. I get the satirical alegory I do, but fuck that rasist remark dude T___T

This is not entitlement...we want to work for our prizes. We just want to get those prizes for which we put in the work.

Disagree with a fair bit of that. Getting the event girls, yes. Getting the elite, no. That last part should require cores (whether by cash or other work is irrelevant).
There is no standard in games that it should cough up the perfected version of an event unit in existence.

A few games do it, loads of others do not.

RNG will always be a factor in these games, the whim of "luck" drives consumption as it does in all types of gaming in the world, the extra roll, the chance of scoring big etc. But there is a fine line between RNG and too much RNG in games, agreed. But less RNG means more demand for cores to be put in, thats the trade off.

Oh I believe, RNG is RNG after all. But when most people are getting 5+ per run then it's just bad luck for a few that we are seeing. Remember that only a small % of people who get average to good drops will post about them while almost 100% of bad drops will be posted about. Looking at other media, the drops are not that bad. You guys have just had some bad RNG rolls. You might end up with 10 from the next reset or something, of course it's also possible you get 5-10 over the course of the entire event.

That is WHY they have the option in the shop to purchase more. In case RNG fucks you over or you simply don't want to risk RNG to begin with.

Wrong...I can rattle off dozens of games which allow work to suffice to get everything their events offer. In particular, an example from Nutaku is a prior Crush Crush event...they literally had a button called 'Fuck This Shit' to spend diamonds on things you either could not do, forgot to do, or just didn't want to do. They've since changed it to 'Insta-Finish' for their ongoing event but the reasoning remains exactly the same. Not a single thing in any of that game's events is paywalled beyond the FTPer's ability to complete.

If you are able to succeed at every gameplay situation they can throw at you, there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't get the 'grand prize.' 'Consumption,' as you put it, is to make up for lack of success or sheer laziness. It is NEVER supposed to extend a giant, shit-covered middle finger they collectively pulled out of their ass to those who can wipe the floor with an event's challenges.

Microtransaction model games fail when consumption stops being for convenience and starts being required for full gaming experience. The small number of whales that are too hooked on the game to know any better are not enough to keep it going. Whales, casual spenders, and never-payers are ALL needed to keep a microtransaction game going. The game will never develop any new whales if the casual spending minnows get scared off, and those considering entering the ocean for free are simply told to fuck off.

But even their shop option is RNG-dependent. That's more than fucked up...that's sadistic.

Yea, not really sure why they had to make the shop option be random too. 2-4 is a deceptively nasty spread also, which I've come to realize after I brought two packs last night and only got two from each of them followed by only getting one drop of corn from the entire run for that day. Good thing I planned on buying several of those packs anyways for turkey drum reasons but the fact that I might not get the event tank anyways if my luck continues to be this terrible despite buying a bunch of those packs for other reasons is pretty nuts.

"The white man" is a relevant historical comparison, and 'man' is used collectively to refer to any group of people, which includes women. That, and she's blond, has an off-color tan and... purple eyes? That's what we call 'racially indistinct'. You don't even know how much white man repair chick has in her. So much. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Don't treat 'white dudes' as a single tribal entity. That's a "watches too much fox news" understanding of racism.

And this right here is a very juvenile understanding of racism.
