Dear Skylord, Skyladies and other Skyfolk; Yes - this is my official Whine-Thread about the Promo Snapjaws, begging the Devs for mercy for me and other Completionists.
For as long as I can think, my playstyle of any game was a completionists approach. If there are achievements I go even for the craziest ones, go for every aspect of a game no matter if its PvP/PvE/whatever, in simple words: I gotta catch them all. When I encounter other players, usually I have the expierience that Completionists are not super rare, but not that many players want to do "everything", especially if there are low or no rewards for it.
When I joined Skylords Reborn, my timing was kinda unfortunate: Severy other players said I should enter the PROMOMOUNTAINEER code, and they were surprised that the code has become invalid - so I guess I joined shortly after it ran out. I got myself two good decks and started my usual jouney: unlock all maps, do achievements, do all expert maps while collect all nature cards first, then all legendaries, then all frost cards, and so on. In the collectible card aspect, I'm about to finish with just 3 promos missing, and the closer I get to this finish line, the more my mind returns to the snapjaws. Its "THE MISSING CARD", and people like me are bothered by this greatly. Especially, since there is no information out there if it might return or not. Asking about it brought to light that the devs have not decided upon this.
I totally understand the concept of rewards for a special group of people. Get something very special under this-and-that circumstances, and the rest is left out. Like, "this is the reward for the people who have been there since the beginning". In other games, I am usually on the side that has the reward already, and encountered multiple times that restriction have been loosened or removed, and some special titles/items/... havent been that special anymore. But to be honest, after the first impulse that my "hard work" didnt pay off subsided I didnt care that much for long. Usually you have lots of other stuff to show off, and if some things are devalued, sooner or later it always happens as long developers are still changing and developing the game.
Long story short, here are my suggestions what to do in that aspect, in hope that the devs take this into consideration:
1. Make an annoucement that Promo Snapjaws will never be obtainable again, and it stays a special reward for those who have been there from the start. While I wouldnt be super happy about this, it gives some peace of mind. Its better then the current state of them, where nobody knows nothing and false hope can rise.
2. Make them available once a year like Santa or Easter egg, e.g. on the release date as Skylords Reborn "Birthday" card or something similar.
3. (this is my favourite option) Since only completionists are bothered by this, make an Achievement to "Collect X cards" and the final achievement for having one of every card is the Snapjaws. So, if you really care, you can work towards it. You may or may not include Promos in that achievement, with Promos it would be incredible hard, but real Completionists will work toward it anyway. no matter how hard it is. Sidenote: Since Battleforge has an collectible card game aspect to it, I was very surprised that there isnt a "Collect X cards" achievement already.
4. Any other crazy Achievement would be welcome too, if it fits more in the general roadmap of Devs plans for new Achievements. "Play X games with Snapjaws in your deck", "Win a expert map with at least X Legendary cards" or whatever - in the style of the Dragonkin achievement.
Of course I talked to several people how they feel about this issue, and in some cases they brought it up because they share the same fate as I do. To be honest I have no idea how much opposition this ideas generate inside the community, especially amongst those who have been really there since the beginning. And I feel those people should be rewarded, maybe with some special title, avatars or something. But for those who joined later its harsh for Completionists that the reward is something important like a promo card.
So, that is my Suggestion/Whine. Hope to hear from the devs regarding this issue, even a statement like (1.) would be welcomed, to put the minds at rest.
 
 

Its not a breakthrough of any kind - but  for me BF always lacked for T3 and T4 archers that would give some additional love to Walls in Campaign middle or late game.
Currently Riffle Cultist are only one... and still they are more "nuke unit" that regular archers.

I knew that there are not many free models left in the game. Except maybe Twilight Slayers (They would be great at T3 btw) - but i may have some ideas.

- Elite units - Like T3 repainted Gray Rangers (or white ones that wont be blue ), better Darkelf Killers (t3-4), Death Hunters (t4), Rifle Hunters (t3 forst version of cultists) etc.
- Permanent or very long spell buffs for archers. Like range and damage buff but only for S unit...
- New factions - Elemental Rangers or Amii Spirit Assasins
- Shrinked M unit clusters - like S size Frost Sorcerers or Gladiatrix squad.

Just something to give some love to walls after T1 and early T2. Campaing only, because they would me mostly useless in PvP (T3) and randoms (no walls)... well maybe with Wintertide...

Skylords needs any new content... even such small as archers usefull only in campaign.


Its first part of give some love ideas. Others will be
- Give ANYTHING new. Even if its only a new affinity for 4 old cards
- Give AA towers some love (because all AA towers except maybe blaster - are useless)
- Give Frost some love (because Frost have nothing outstanding in campaign games compared to other colors - and i see it only as feed faction)
