Greetings devs and fellow Skylords.
It's good to be back playing one of my all time favorite games. Maybe someone here played and remembers me from back in the day, I was a top 20 player named Withia :)
First off, I'd like to express my admiration and gratitude to the devs and anyone else involved in the project for trying to revive this game...
That being said, I have some serious concerns about the current progression system of BF:Reborn. The whole reason why EA scratched the game seven years ago, was because very few was willing to grind and/or pay big money to progress in a reasonable amount of time. At the end we were only few players left.
Understand that PvP is the main and lasting appeal of the game, and to play that, you really need most cards and upgrades, and seeing that you are no longer able to pay money to get the cards you need/want, the whole process is gonna take a lot longer, which is really bad, especially when new players down the line joins the game and is matched against experienced players with more upgrades and cards/card charges.
So if this project is to not suffer the same fate as it did seven years ago, you really need to either make all cards and upgrades available in PvP or make the progression system A LOT faster. I for example had ALL cards and charges within the first 6 months of playing, sure I spend a fair amount of money on it, but it is necessary for PvP, and that is no longer an option. Maybe you could even award BFP through donations, I realize this might violate your contract with EA, but does it really if the money goes in the donation pool?
I would be more than happy to support this project with monthly donations, but I don't really see the point in doing so, if the project is doomed to fail and/or there is no one to play PvP on equal terms with.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely an old BattleForge veteran who really wants this to work out :)
