I'm aware i missed the fact that you can technically get more than one Toast through playing doubles. However, while you're still more likely to get toasts (especially if you have a teammate), I don't think the numbers will be too much better. You can't rely on a teammate to just toast you every game either, as they will run out of toasts likely long before you get a character.
@user-fy4to2ob1v true , he doesnt need it so its not a problem for him , but it is for everyone else , i hate not having more than 2 characters i want to play I grinded since launch and managed to unlock garnet and jake ... thats it People who defend this are the ones who dont need anything
17:00 as a beta player who's currently going through the game since the relaunch, I can confirm that notion. When I started playing, I literally had no idea the monetization was this bad until I looked at other people's experiences online. It's so bizarre that for the relaunch they made the experience better for returning players rather than structuring the monetization to appeal to a newer crowd.
Yeah this game actually should start you with 12k fighter currency so you have options on which characters you want on your roster atleast that should atleast let you get 3 or 4 additional starter characters to choose from and 10k perk currency
Same here, plus with the battle pass given to us for free, I was swindled into a false sense of security of "Oh, characters are faster to unlock now!" Having obtained around 9000 currency the first week, but after remembering that, plus having come to a slower hault as the days go by, this system truly is a greedy and preposterous mess that sometimes doesn't even let you progress by paying the preposterous amounts of real money it demands for Gleamium
@@nicholasaugello2534 no game works with this way thats free. even league of legends you get like one. i played for 2 weeks with battle pass i have 12k currency. thats 4 characters idk what is happening with everyone else
Let's not pretend like Warframe grind is the best most fun thing in the world. I stopped playing because it eventually started to feel like working a job. But yeah it's still heaps better than Multiversus..
@@Nootaro_ There's nothing in Warframe that requires you to run it like a job, unless you're hyper focusing on one thing instead of spreading out your play. I have ADHD so I just play whatever for fun and get rewarded quite often with new stuff all the time. The only grind I dislike is Necramech, since that's required to progress the story. Thankfully in the next update they're cutting down that grind by several hours.
@akdreamer6497 my brother I also have adhd and the grind sucks ass lol. The main thing helping warframe is the trading system that allows you to completely bypass the grind with a little plat
with so many highly successful free to play games with monetization models that worked, multiversus learned no lessons and in fact downgraded from its own beta. it almost feels like warner bros WANT the game to flop.
@@jmurray1110 I like the break the targets because its actually a smash gamemode and its a nice break. The bosses 2-3 are a bore, 1 and 4 are unique but way to easy
@@poed75 personally I hate break the targets the movement doesn’t quite fit the design and they aren’t exactly designed for each character Also the scrolling ones are awful Bosses yeah mixed bag but generally unenjoyable
I bought the $20 founders bundle in the beta and I still have leftover character tickets after buying all the characters. I don’t know how the monetization could go from being so good to so bad at the full launch. Also, who’s going to buy skins for characters they don’t own? I hope PFG is able to change the monetization.
This is something I definitely should have mentioned. I did buy the first battle pass despite not having all the characters during the Beta, as the characters that I didn't unlock I could use those skins for in the offline mode Now that it takes forever to unlock them, there's no reason you'd ever be interested in a skin for a character you don't have.
@@Zetta330 they are trying to make that a thing with the rifts. With the “graphic T” being required + a specific character type, it’s designed to get you to buy instead of grind
Like you said in the video, Brawlhalla has an option where you can pay $40 to buy all current and future characters. I think Multiversus should do this. It will most likely be pricey since the game's roster consist of very well-known characters, but it would be worth it since you are guaranteed to get all the current characters as well as any future ones without having to grind your life away just to gain one character.
As a newcomer to MultiVersus, I can absolutely agree that unlocking every character is both nearly impossible and absurdly expensive. I only managed to grind out about 9k fighter currency to unlock 3 characters and now the grind has slowed to a snail's pace. And while I haven't put any money into the game yet, almost $200 for every character is just insane. And with how bad the monetization is, it makes me very worried for the future for this game. I REALLY don't want it to die, it has too much potential for insane guest character like Godzilla and Goku. I hope the devs will be able to fix the monetization. They just need to make grinding fighter currency more consistent and have the characters be less expensive. I really want to see this game thrive. Here's hoping for the future of MultiVersus.
As someone who played the beta it pains me to look back at all the gold I just sat on because I legitimately could've gotten every character in the beta with my gold and now all that gold just goes to a fancy badge that does nothing. Curse you, hindsight.
VERY glad you actually made a constructive breakdown of the game's flaws. It's a lot more mature than just saying "Joker takes 900 HOURS?! 😱" and not elaborating. Good video.
Thank you! I genuinely like the game a lot despite it's flaws and wanted to come from a perspective of wanting to raise awareness of these issues in hopes that people are more aware of them and it becomes higher priority to fix them.
The absolute worst part the cherry on top is that ontop of the fact that all their skins are like 25 dollars they're also TERRIBLE multiversus has to have some of the most unlikable cosmetics I've ever seen in any game ever
Honestly, the whole model of unlocking the characters through this kind of grind is just stupid especially considering this is a kind of a game where the characters are MEANT to be unique and play uniquely
This is why I was baffled that when the game first was announced, everyone was inexplicably so excited that it was free to play. I feel like to anyone with a brain, that’s a very bad thing. It essentially means that, it won’t be a full, real game. And you’ll need to pay for every single thing you wanna do in the game. If it was a normal game with a full price tag I would’ve been so much happier, it would’ve come with more content and it would’ve had everything available from the get go with a single price tag. So now the game gets to price gouge consumers for every single cent they possibly can, while at the same time getting away with basically not even being a real game with adequate content. It’s an awful, money-grubbing corporate video game model from WB. Which is a shame since the game is actually really fun and could’ve been great.
I genuinely think that Multiversus would make more money if all the characters were free, because right now I have to reason to get any cosmetics for any characters I don't own and I'm not incentivized to buy characters with Gleamium rather than Fighter Currency
I think the most frustrating thing for me is the perk currency. Its the only thing thats absolutely everywhere and its frankly next to useless, and even more so when perks feel like afterthoughts after the relaunch. Im near 100k perk currency and i would happily trade that for even half a characters worth of fighter currency Like i understand why they split up the currency the way they did, so they dont put you into 'do i want a character or a perk or a skin' situations, but having one currency be completely overabundant and almost worthless, and the other be highly valued and almost impossible is just dumb imo Seriously though i beg them, please let us have some way to convert perk currency to fighter currency. I dont care how bad the conversion rate is, just something to use that crap on
Also the offline not giving characters and perks is totally fine Now you can have a setup counterpick, where you can get counterpicked by going to a setup that just doesnt have some character lmao (Purely a joke, thats actually ridiculous)
The game is fun, but is going to die fast if this keeps going ... My internet is bad, so I already have problems with the game, I don't need godawful monetization to make it even worst
Haha I'm a beta player and i don't have all the characters, because i was saving my gold. Now i just have over 16000 power inside and a gif. I find it funny that they're taking away that free to play crap little by little with updates, they just went from 10 xp per win to 50, it's probably in reaction to huge numbers of players leaving, increasing the number go up by an amount this ridiculous compared to what it was meant to be is certainly an option. WB likes to throw some hard work and passion into the trash, i think we'll be seeing an end of support post in a while if the players don't pay money, hence the greedy changes, but WB can't get money if no one is playing in the first place, so now they're rolling some changes back. I'm not sure what to really think of all this, because on one hand the character acquisition is awful, but now that you can get little scraps of gleamium every so often and the battle pass (which is free for beta players) pays for the next one, i think this monetization might not be rotten enough. DC Dual Force was a game that got canceled before it got out of beta. This one moght not be profitable enough too. You can also look at it as a classic "i want to do bad change, so i do very bad change and improve it to bad", because that kinda checks out too, i don't know.
Is it sad that I feel bad for other players who don’t get all the characters. I toast sometimes. When they aren’t being try hards XD. But yea this is bad. I didn’t see this coming. Wait did you also talked about some of the rifts are unlocked if you don’t have a certain cosmetic and you can’t continue. Oh god the next one is summer. You’re going to need a summer skin to continue the rift. Oh god!
I did have to add an extra segment to address that, lol It does give me a lot of hope they WILL fix these issues in time, but it doesn't solve everything and the system still needs a ton of work.
honestly, this game has shown me one thing in particular, that a grand majority of platfighters have one huge issue weighting it down Multiversus starting out free to play kind of killed it from making it greedy because it was reaching 20 million active players but didn't get that much money compared to other games reaching that number. Fraymakers art style is the biggest nightmare as not even the devs have made more than three characters fully animated in the game's 4 years of development, the game having a huge focus on modding support only made that so much worse as modders pretty much have no choose but to either spend a year or two spriting in this style or ditching the art style. You had made a whole video on how Rivals 2 isn't a good sequel because it tries to appeal and play more like melee, ironically making it more like a smash clone than a smash rival. Indie game battle and cross impact have so many issues in common it's scary how we're not looking back at the problems IGB had that so many platfighters have. Honestly, despite so much good stuff about rivals 2, all these issues make me grow more and more distant from platfighters in general and my experience with CI did not help that either
Honestly I kinda agree. I can’t say for sure about Rivals since I never played the game and everyone has their own thoughts, but I agree with most of the other points. I love CI but it has issues at its core with moveset and assist design (idk if I’d compare it to IGB but I can see why it would be). You can even include Nasb 1+2 on this list with the initial lack of crossplay and content for the first (VAs, items, single player content). The second game is tons better but the image was kinda damaged from the first game. Honestly this stuff just makes me excited for games like Combo Devils and Smack Studio since those have promising aspects to them that make them more accessible and fun for all players.
@@Clownbelt-u2sI wrote down what I meant by the fact about other platfighters not looking at IGB of what not to do - do not release your game in early access in the most early state, people will see that verison of the game AS the game. first impressions. - please find a good art style you are comfortable making stuff in that DOES NOT add any sort of restriction on the project and its quality - have a GOOD financial plan to pay your animators that they fully agree on that DOES NOT limit artistic value, this problem is not there if you are the one animating.
@@Clownbelt-u2sI wrote these down awhile ago, but these are the issues i meant by when i said that platfighters should look at IGB at what NOT to do - do not release your game in early access in the most early state, people will see that version of the game AS the game. first impressions. - please find a good art style you are comfortable making stuff in that DOES NOT add any sort of restriction on the project and its quality - have a GOOD financial plan to pay your animators that they fully agree on that DOES NOT limit artistic value, this problem is not there if you are the one animating.

@@Clownbelt-u2sNick 2 is such a tragedy because it fixed almost everything wrong with the first game outside of some glitches ( Also it didn't have any good casual levels outside of the Thornberries one, but that's not that big of an issue because it's still fun to play casually), but the game's reputation and lack of marketing kept it from having a consistent scene. Shame because it's EASILY my favorite platform fighter that isn't a mod, but that game is as dead as a doorknob now, like actually, and they haven't even finished all the DLC yet.
It came with a catch. There was a small time window where you had to log in before June 11th or else you don’t get Jason or the pass for free. I unfortunately didn’t because I was away from home during this even though I played beta when it was released
They need to reward more currency cuz that’s crazy, 150 hours?! I’m lucky because I got a couple character tickets from beta and had tons of gold. Feel bad for new players
Why not just pull a smash bros and just charge 70 dollars for the game but you get all of the characters and some costumes for them, just have to play around 20-30 matches to get all the characters, and since I know WB is greedy you could add a battle pass with a new character each season that you have to pay for (similar to dlc fighters in smash bros). Would still give WB a good amount of money, and fix this issue
Getting legends in Brawlhalla is way easier than it seem too, since you get gold for every queue (even private matches), for leveling up legends, doing the weekly gamemode, daily quests, and daily logging rewards, which also give you a minimum of like 300 gold as a minimum just for getting in the game
Wait i dont have the game but am a fighting game fan who has been observing these events... shaggy is the only base roster character? And banana is free if you do login stuff?
@@LgameZ damn thats like the free version of granblue vs rising then. Except as mentioned in the video you can just upgrade to the full game and get the other characters
I agree the grind is too much. But you did forget to mention that you also get glemium for character and battlepass levels. Which you can use towards getting characters too which lowers the time you calculafed by a bit.
As someone that played the beta, yeah the monetization is shite. Like, I have quite a few characters from the beta but that was less than half. And yeah, fighter currency is a terrible replacement for gold. So, do your quests, log on every day and get the free item from the shop (can be fighter currency) and just ignore the fact that your not getting characters and check your currency every 3 days.
Agree with virtually everything but the Agent Smith stuff. It's there as a bonus that you can prepare to grind for far before his release so you don't have to worry about unlocking him with currency. Whether he was in the game or not is irrelevant as he's a new character with no official gameplay out on him (at least when the event was released) and it straight up tells you this is to get it 2 weeks earlier than intended. Yeah you can say it's to force people to play their crappy PVE mode, but you don't HAVE to and can just use your currency when he comes out anyway whenever or however long it takes you to save all that up (GL to you non founder ppl ggnore)
I don't disagree, but what I mean is that the game should make it clear what you can and cannot get at this time. Many people booted up the game expecting to be able to get agent Smith off the gate (since we still don't know the release date, "two weeks early" tells us nothing) having the track tell you the date the next item is obtainable would help a lot.
@@Zetta330 Yeah I think what adds to the problem is the UI is so garbage that things don't even really explain what they mean when we read them. With the Top Dog PVP event, it just says "until July 14th" no time, nothing. But what I assumed they meant, and the date that the final rift opens up, should mean 2 weeks after that point he should be released. Seeing as how the event is almost 2 months long, they don't expect it to be done quickly. The estimated time of earliest completion was believed to be July 10th so let's hope they learn from this shit show.
Im playing multiversus rn after they updated the amount of battlepass xp you get from a victory and its a much better amount now than it was before. I just won like 3 1v1s in a row and got around 600 xp, so slowly but surely we're making improvements here. It hurts my heart how egregious these microtransactions are because the core game is fun. I just hope they keep making these player friendly changes and maybe ill pay 5 bucks for a skin (think all the toonverse skins are $5) just to show a little support. What i refuse to do is give my money to a game that makes me play it as a full time job. Thats why the only free to play game i been spending money on lately is warframe
I only played beta for the 1st season, and with a laptop that had to run lowest settings to maybe function. With this video, I now realize I probably had enough gold to purchase a few fighters, and I didn’t buy any by the time gold went away. So oof, but I still enjoy the game and do agree its systems are worse than beta. I hope the game doesn't just leave again and that characters aren't going to be locked for 12 seasons.
No one wants to grind for hours upon hours for a character. People would rather buy a game with everything and get the dlc and skins down the line. No one wants battlepass 200 bucks is sad. And you can toast with fake accounts. But it’ll take forever. Also the rifts should let you use all characters IDC it’s a pvcpu mode would make people less bored and let them try out people. Some missions you cannot fulfill with the free characters to and gems?!! WowThis game isn’t making it again. Online is always laggy to even offline.
I mean I would prefer not fishing DLC and skins ti be included You know because I abhore locking shit that could easily be in the game in order to wring money out if people
@@mrthanos8140 no it wasn’t though remember there was a time when the game was the game fully complete at launch and never touched in fact it was like that for a long time but the internet lead to the idea of a complete game at launch being laughable because they could sucker people into giving them money and split fanbases Remember horse armour was objectionable because it was cosmetic now it’s applauded when the only money sink is cosmetics because pay to win became the norm
One thing to say to people that is not that big but still kinda an issue. So in rifts you need to play as certain characters, like lets say play an animated detective whos a bruiser, then the answer is shaggy right? but if you use the legendary Shagworthy or whatever the name is skin, he no longer counts as a detective character. Skins can add or remove the classifications of a character and its best to not use the skins without the prior idea it does that. Very stupid imo
I believe upgrading your battlepass is less than 1K Gleamium. If I had to do it over. I would upgrade the battle pass and then grind from there. I purchased gizmo instead now Im wishing I did the opposite. Gizmo is cool though. Im grinding to get 6K fighter coins to get Joker now. I would have gotten characters during the battlepass and it would have been more worth it for sure.
You should 100% be able to jsve access to the whole character roster in customs and offline mode... I have a friend that just likes to 1v1 yet he is burdened with the fact that he will never get to even play with other fighters... that would be maddening. I play a lot but I also play all the characters as I got them all in the beta. I feel REALLY bad for new players as the characters are all super cool in their own way. The fact most will never experience them all is very sad...
Please convert all these hours into dollars. You can use the minimum wage conversion. If you do that people will start waking up to how expensive the actually is and you'd wish they just charged you for it.
I finished this impossible battle pass so idk what he’s one they made it easier to level up now the game so still not that amazing but at least they are trying
The ONLY thing I bought as cosemetic is the Swifty emote for Rick. I currently only have 3 characters unlocked...Its actually insane how little the game gives you to unlock characters and I refuse to pay a DIME for a game doing this. Even the 50 XP win is so small, it does help but I would prefer actually getting currency for winning a match..LIKE NORMAL GAMES DO.
This is the things isn't it .. Trying to be like fortnite...in fortnite u get nothing I'm looking into this game but to be honest didn't come in expecting to grind characters I actually dont care All im worried about is the characters I do have to grind for ... Look I get it I really do but the way I see this and no one else will If I like the game I will pay Duelinks spent 1000s Fortnite between me and my son 1000s This will be no different If people stopped paying it would be dead No more updates.. no more seasons no more characters the game dies .. Yes it's a cash cow Yes it's annoying Look at it this way because it's how I justify it I'm not buying everything I'm buying what I like I'm collecting my favourites Jason agent smith batman superman bug bunny etc I'm not buying out the rosta just what I like And I'm not hit with welcome to a f2p game give me 10000 please for everything or fk off no It's a catalogue see what u like Now I dig catalogues I like to browse see what's available and decide Limited times only now uve pissed me off because now u paying next week for this is not good enough I want it now .. thats got my back up and not necessary...now I'm angry because ur forcing people to buy it sooner than they would have if you left them alone to purchase on their own terms I don't mind paying but I want to.see it all infront of me and let me choose at my speed .. not urs I don't give a fuck if ur managers going on vacation with his 6 wives Fuck off I'll spend my hard earned money on my terms That's fair to me
The Founder's packs alleviated a lot of these issues, but aren't even available in a downgraded sense. Bought the $100 version and I won't have to buy characters for YEARS. Multiversus doesn't seem like a well designed FREE game, but wouldn't have been that bad as a paid game.
4:42 No it's not. I guarantee you they set it to a virtually impossible rate that would get pushback so they could "listen" to the community and roll it ever-so-slightly back to the awful price they were planning on _actually_ setting it to in the first place, and people would be grateful for it instead of pushing back. It's a common marketing tactic by bozos like these. Stop letting them get away with awful shit just because it's slightly less awful than the even more awful shit that it previously was.
I think the fundamental flaw with this "it takes forever to unlock them all" argument is people have mains in fighting games. Usually like 2 or 3 tops they play as regularly. Once you have them, most people dont mind playing hundreds of hours to unlock the arbitrary ones they wont even use, cuz they were gonna play hundreds of hours anyway.
As a beta player im going through attempting to complete the rifts solo but it feels impossible as the difficulty spike is ridiculous if your facing more then one enemy and bosses having garbage recovery and hit boxes to combo to death. I log in and do dailys everyday miss here and there miss one day a week but its horrendous how i meet the requirements to fight a rift but i still fail to do the damage needed regardless. Feeling poor way to make the game challenges actually balance and just bog down your strength bu diminish your damage and see no next to no improvement to yourself as you climb scratching and struggling to get strongerbeyond instanity and looney and locking out other difficulties while the agent smith event ending in a few days feel like walling me off to play theyre difficulty on by skiping to harder challanges beyond rift 4-9 not letting acess to experinced. You might say i need to get good but theyre only so much you can do if youre a solo player.
It is true that if you did a lot in the beta. I did not realized that it was a beta, but after I found that the game fun I sprung for buying the middle one. Then I realized that the grind for getting everyone wasn't that bad so I got most of the beta ones with the coins. Then it went away I was wondering if I screwed myself not using them but now still have the tickets and still am taking it slow and still have tickets and am only short 4 of the roster. Then again cosmetics are a rare thing for me so if I get a costume or not does not matter to me.
With a game still in such a early stage nothing is set in stone here. I wouldn't get to worked up about how you're going to get everyone and doing mass calculations, when at the drop of a dime the whole currency system could be turned on its head. Just be smart with your currency try before you buy and have a good time.
I have every character for free plus an additional 30k fighter currency and I'm about to get Batman TAS skin for free with gleamium I earned. This video is false click bait nothing more.
There’s little to no rewards for anything . The daily missions and stuff are the only thing that yield any benefit and it’s repetitive boring content for Jack shit
right as i watched this video is when i realized all of this is true i already knew it was extremely grindy, but damn. theres a couple of things that could maybe change our aspect 1. Login Rewards this just makes sense yk 2. Occasional difficult missions that reward more can pop up in dailys and weeklys 3. A system where it looks at the match and determines stuff like how many times you were hit, and the ratio between how many lives the winner and loser had this is a NEED thoughts? ik #1 said daily for a sec i realized after like 30 min maybe
The only thing I see we can get fr is perk points. Sure you need the points to unlock perks but you dont need every single perk. Im sitting on like 50k in perk points and my characters feel coo. If they want to keep The currency at a “minimum” thats coo too, But a free to play gotta atleast make it doable. Give me a conversion system between the different points Like for every 5,000 perk you get 1,000 fight. Or something with the Prestige, that would be dope 🗣️
This video should be the thing mvs devs AND WB EXECUTIVES WATCH The thing i hate the most about mvs rn is local not having all characters And offline mode not being in the game Im playing since launch and played the beta since lauch as well I hate not being able to get characters as easy as beta , and i was one of the unlucky ones that lost all characters i unlocked in the beta All i got was bugs and i had almost half of the cast in beta But i would forgive it if i had local offline mode .... Right now i feel bored because using the same 3 characters over and over again suck , the variety is paywalled But i would love to host a tournament and play the game locally offline on my birthday All my friends battling with any character , and it sucks that i cant do that because 1 all characters are locked unless you have them 2 offline doesnt exist anymore Anything and everything this game does i will hate unless they add back local and offline the way it was in beta
You’re manipulating the data. Showing us how hard to get all characters with toasts only, although they aren’t even meant to be a “get a new character” thing. I’m aware that later you’ve showed how to get fighter currency otherwise, but why show toasts in the first place.
The point in showing toasts first was to show the method of grinding characters. Toasts are the only repeatable method of getting fighter currency that aren't technically tied to any sort of time gates or limited events. Considering most other F2P games reward players for grinding like this (Brawlhalla, League of Legends, etc) I thought it was fair to compare the base rate of getting characters without factoring in limited time events. My calculation for Brawlhalla's rate was purely based on the amount you could get without limited time events as well, so I don't think it's an unfair comparison.
While I do loathe the greed, just the fact that the game is so much slower also just stopped me from playing already. Just look at how Velma moves at 20:31 nobody can do that in the game right now, everyone is just so huge and slow and boring to look at now. Slow gameplay and horrendously greedy devs/publishers just made me stop playing and it'll probably shut down again before they can fix anything.
you know what i understand that people wants everything for free but u gotta understand something they creat the game to earn money so for me its a fair system you know free battle passe for anyone who played the game in the beta also i got alot of skins just because i played some games the xp of battle passe is fair (50 per win ) + all the daily and weekly mssions and stuff so yeah i play like daily 3 games and 3 other games in rifts and honestly i have almost enough coin for the next battle pass and the battle pass still got 37 days i guess so yeah maybe the fact 3 k and 6 k for a new caracter is harsh but it is what it is u gotta understand that they spent alot of money and they want to start earning you know
Forgot in original post I did get agent smith for some reason too I have no idea why and I also am level 64 so it’s not impossible, you just gotta get good lmao
It takes 100 videos talking trash about multiversus to being it down this game will not fail the fact that someone always has a complaint instead of just playing the free to play game shows how good it is if it was really bad people wouldn’t even talk about it devs are genuinely working out the players requests into the game this game gonna get better and better
Don't get me wrong, I like the game a lot, but that's all the more reason to be critical of it. I want the game to be better, and there's a lot of genuine issues that should be fixed. Unfortunately, I don't have the same sentiment that the game won't fail. It already did once, I think that the game needs to make moves quickly to prevent it from happening again. Thankfully PFG has made some genuine improvements to the systems, but there's still a lot that needs to be done.
People talk about it a lot even those who hate it (not including me) because devs have a fricking GOLD MINE in their hands considering the amount of insane characters that could be in the game. Remember, its Warner Bros that own this game, also means Multiversus could be what Smash players always wanted because they have tons of money and are willing to invest in esport, which they already did twice if Im not wrong. So yeah, its a huge topic for fighting game players.
Honestly you're not supposed to play every character. This game encourages maining a character and u can try them out before hand so u don't waste ur hard earned player currency. I also played since the beta so I already have all of them plus character tickets so I'm in the minority. Sucks for new players tho I get it.
I understand the goal of the system is mostly to stick with the characters you like, but when quests require the other characters you don't have, that's kinda an issue where you do need access to those other characters. Also, like I said, the game went from having a niche but strong offline scene to the game being practically impossible to play offline because all the characters are locked.
You said it... I loved this game in its beta state (I put 170h in it) and even though they made it slower and changed many small aspects like the UI I still like it. I think the Rift is not bad but this new system is stupid... During the beta I unlocked almost every char, I was only missing Joker, Rick, Stripe, Black Adam and Marvin. After investing 90 more hours Im still missing 2.5k to buy the last one. Other downside: the servers (EU in my case) are still very bad, I keep experiencing the "match desynchronised" at least once per day or absolute random and terrible lags. I might stop wasting my time and comeback later... or not.
Brawlhalla's battle pass model is actually pretty good. See every bp level requires 12 gems. You earn gems through 3 ways. Bp missions, bp exp, and dailies. Bp missions are given every Wednesday and give a couple levels, bp exp is earned through regular play and give various amounts of gems from 2 to 6 to 12, and dailies give 4 meaning every 3 days you get a level. So if a bp gets released you can save up dailies and get 1 level day one. You have ample opportunities to grind out the bp and get levels easily by just playing a lot. As well if you beat all the missions you get a special completionist avatar. As for the rewards you get a couple character skins, one epic skin with new animations, a progression skin that's 3 skins in one, a progression podium, several avatars, emojis, an exclusive color for your legends whch has a universal unlock for current and future characters, one ko effect, weapon skins for each weapon, and taunts. There's a lot of stuff to earn. And there's boosters in the gold track to make it easier
Yeah, multiverses used to have an option in the beta where you could just buy the founders edition and get all the characters and a set number of future ones. However, I do think the idea that it takes this long to grind out fighter currency is a little disingenuous. I've been casually playing this game since it launched and I'm just about to hit 10K fighter currency. It's only been out for like 2 and 1/2 weeks and I have enough to get three characters and still have a thousand left over.
I'm aware i missed the fact that you can technically get more than one Toast through playing doubles. However, while you're still more likely to get toasts (especially if you have a teammate), I don't think the numbers will be too much better. You can't rely on a teammate to just toast you every game either, as they will run out of toasts likely long before you get a character.
I don't need all characters... This is not smash collection like method
@@Dreadnox05Well some people do need all characters 😒
@user-fy4to2ob1v true , he doesnt need it so its not a problem for him , but it is for everyone else , i hate not having more than 2 characters i want to play
I grinded since launch and managed to unlock garnet and jake ... thats it
People who defend this are the ones who dont need anything
They also buffed exp gain from 10 to 50 and 5 to 25
@Ben-vm5eu yeah , it was a good change , but they should also make like the beta and let us get character tokens as well
17:00 as a beta player who's currently going through the game since the relaunch, I can confirm that notion. When I started playing, I literally had no idea the monetization was this bad until I looked at other people's experiences online. It's so bizarre that for the relaunch they made the experience better for returning players rather than structuring the monetization to appeal to a newer crowd.
Yeah this game actually should start you with 12k fighter currency so you have options on which characters you want on your roster atleast that should atleast let you get 3 or 4 additional starter characters to choose from and 10k perk currency
One word… WB
Same here, plus with the battle pass given to us for free, I was swindled into a false sense of security of "Oh, characters are faster to unlock now!" Having obtained around 9000 currency the first week, but after remembering that, plus having come to a slower hault as the days go by, this system truly is a greedy and preposterous mess that sometimes doesn't even let you progress by paying the preposterous amounts of real money it demands for Gleamium
@@igoldenknight2169Watch your mouth!
@@nicholasaugello2534 no game works with this way thats free. even league of legends you get like one. i played for 2 weeks with battle pass i have 12k currency. thats 4 characters idk what is happening with everyone else
i said it in my review in steam, and i say it again, multiversus aint pay 2 win, but pay 4 fun
For now.
@@yofwill by the time they fix it the game will only have 1000 concurrent players 😂
So... like full priced releases?
@@xemlyrics Yes, but this is a free to play game. It shouldn't be like full priced releases in terms of being pay 4 fun.
@@Matasuh if you have to pay to have "fun" that pretty much means you don't enjoy the core gameplay of the game and you shouldn't play it either way.
I barely get toast so basically it's impossible to grind out fighter currency whatsoever
old ui shop was so good, oh ma ga.
"This is just how F2P games are" mfs when I show them Warframe
Let's not pretend like Warframe grind is the best most fun thing in the world. I stopped playing because it eventually started to feel like working a job. But yeah it's still heaps better than Multiversus..
@@Nootaro_ There's nothing in Warframe that requires you to run it like a job, unless you're hyper focusing on one thing instead of spreading out your play. I have ADHD so I just play whatever for fun and get rewarded quite often with new stuff all the time. The only grind I dislike is Necramech, since that's required to progress the story. Thankfully in the next update they're cutting down that grind by several hours.
@@Nootaro_yea the grind is atrocious specifically the railjack stuff but the game isnt boring which makes it tolerable.
@akdreamer6497 my brother I also have adhd and the grind sucks ass lol. The main thing helping warframe is the trading system that allows you to completely bypass the grind with a little plat
@@slim3710 How is the railjack a grind??
with so many highly successful free to play games with monetization models that worked, multiversus learned no lessons and in fact downgraded from its own beta. it almost feels like warner bros WANT the game to flop.
The tank mode makes me want to end it all
Scary how much I relate to this
@@poed75 Change your name to AlwaysFunny
All the rift gimmicks are bad from break the target to the boss
@@jmurray1110 I like the break the targets because its actually a smash gamemode and its a nice break. The bosses 2-3 are a bore, 1 and 4 are unique but way to easy
@@poed75 personally I hate break the targets the movement doesn’t quite fit the design and they aren’t exactly designed for each character
Also the scrolling ones are awful
Bosses yeah mixed bag but generally unenjoyable
I bought the $20 founders bundle in the beta and I still have leftover character tickets after buying all the characters. I don’t know how the monetization could go from being so good to so bad at the full launch.
Also, who’s going to buy skins for characters they don’t own? I hope PFG is able to change the monetization.
This is something I definitely should have mentioned. I did buy the first battle pass despite not having all the characters during the Beta, as the characters that I didn't unlock I could use those skins for in the offline mode
Now that it takes forever to unlock them, there's no reason you'd ever be interested in a skin for a character you don't have.
@@Zetta330 they are trying to make that a thing with the rifts. With the “graphic T” being required + a specific character type, it’s designed to get you to buy instead of grind
Like you said in the video, Brawlhalla has an option where you can pay $40 to buy all current and future characters. I think Multiversus should do this. It will most likely be pricey since the game's roster consist of very well-known characters, but it would be worth it since you are guaranteed to get all the current characters as well as any future ones without having to grind your life away just to gain one character.
I paid for the founders pack. That wouldn’t really be fair and make our character tickets worthless.
@@TheArtOfMindusually games with get everybody pack refunds the ones you bought already. So no waste
@@TheArtOfMindI also bought the pack and feel screwed over.. I was saving a ticket for joker and poof! Nothing..
As a newcomer to MultiVersus, I can absolutely agree that unlocking every character is both nearly impossible and absurdly expensive. I only managed to grind out about 9k fighter currency to unlock 3 characters and now the grind has slowed to a snail's pace. And while I haven't put any money into the game yet, almost $200 for every character is just insane. And with how bad the monetization is, it makes me very worried for the future for this game. I REALLY don't want it to die, it has too much potential for insane guest character like Godzilla and Goku. I hope the devs will be able to fix the monetization. They just need to make grinding fighter currency more consistent and have the characters be less expensive. I really want to see this game thrive. Here's hoping for the future of MultiVersus.
As someone who played the beta it pains me to look back at all the gold I just sat on because I legitimately could've gotten every character in the beta with my gold and now all that gold just goes to a fancy badge that does nothing. Curse you, hindsight.
VERY glad you actually made a constructive breakdown of the game's flaws. It's a lot more mature than just saying "Joker takes 900 HOURS?! 😱" and not elaborating. Good video.
Thank you! I genuinely like the game a lot despite it's flaws and wanted to come from a perspective of wanting to raise awareness of these issues in hopes that people are more aware of them and it becomes higher priority to fix them.
The absolute worst part the cherry on top is that ontop of the fact that all their skins are like 25 dollars they're also TERRIBLE multiversus has to have some of the most unlikable cosmetics I've ever seen in any game ever
Honestly, the whole model of unlocking the characters through this kind of grind is just stupid especially considering this is a kind of a game where the characters are MEANT to be unique and play uniquely
And they want a competitive scene and no TO will wabt yo deal with that bollocks
This is why I was baffled that when the game first was announced, everyone was inexplicably so excited that it was free to play. I feel like to anyone with a brain, that’s a very bad thing. It essentially means that, it won’t be a full, real game. And you’ll need to pay for every single thing you wanna do in the game. If it was a normal game with a full price tag I would’ve been so much happier, it would’ve come with more content and it would’ve had everything available from the get go with a single price tag. So now the game gets to price gouge consumers for every single cent they possibly can, while at the same time getting away with basically not even being a real game with adequate content. It’s an awful, money-grubbing corporate video game model from WB. Which is a shame since the game is actually really fun and could’ve been great.
I'VE BEEN SAYING HOW ARE WE EVEN SUPPOSED TO UNLOCK CHARACTERS
I genuinely think that Multiversus would make more money if all the characters were free, because right now I have to reason to get any cosmetics for any characters I don't own and I'm not incentivized to buy characters with Gleamium rather than Fighter Currency
Yea
The big 3 gatcha games are less stingy than multiversus, Seriously wild
They want a competitive scene, but their actions say otherwise.
Can we please get player first games attention with this they are usually open for feedback and this is pretty outrageous.
I think the most frustrating thing for me is the perk currency. Its the only thing thats absolutely everywhere and its frankly next to useless, and even more so when perks feel like afterthoughts after the relaunch. Im near 100k perk currency and i would happily trade that for even half a characters worth of fighter currency
Like i understand why they split up the currency the way they did, so they dont put you into 'do i want a character or a perk or a skin' situations, but having one currency be completely overabundant and almost worthless, and the other be highly valued and almost impossible is just dumb imo
Seriously though i beg them, please let us have some way to convert perk currency to fighter currency. I dont care how bad the conversion rate is, just something to use that crap on
Also the offline not giving characters and perks is totally fine
Now you can have a setup counterpick, where you can get counterpicked by going to a setup that just doesnt have some character lmao
(Purely a joke, thats actually ridiculous)
The game is fun, but is going to die fast if this keeps going ... My internet is bad, so I already have problems with the game, I don't need godawful monetization to make it even worst
Haha I'm a beta player and i don't have all the characters, because i was saving my gold. Now i just have over 16000 power inside and a gif.
I find it funny that they're taking away that free to play crap little by little with updates, they just went from 10 xp per win to 50, it's probably in reaction to huge numbers of players leaving, increasing the number go up by an amount this ridiculous compared to what it was meant to be is certainly an option. WB likes to throw some hard work and passion into the trash, i think we'll be seeing an end of support post in a while if the players don't pay money, hence the greedy changes, but WB can't get money if no one is playing in the first place, so now they're rolling some changes back. I'm not sure what to really think of all this, because on one hand the character acquisition is awful, but now that you can get little scraps of gleamium every so often and the battle pass (which is free for beta players) pays for the next one, i think this monetization might not be rotten enough. DC Dual Force was a game that got canceled before it got out of beta. This one moght not be profitable enough too. You can also look at it as a classic "i want to do bad change, so i do very bad change and improve it to bad", because that kinda checks out too, i don't know.
Is it sad that I feel bad for other players who don’t get all the characters. I toast sometimes. When they aren’t being try hards XD. But yea this is bad. I didn’t see this coming. Wait did you also talked about some of the rifts are unlocked if you don’t have a certain cosmetic and you can’t continue. Oh god the next one is summer. You’re going to need a summer skin to continue the rift. Oh god!
In the beta I have every character maxed out and they did give me alot of character but like 5 of them where locked
Unfortunate timing considering they JUST increased bp xp from games but well said regardless
I did have to add an extra segment to address that, lol
It does give me a lot of hope they WILL fix these issues in time, but it doesn't solve everything and the system still needs a ton of work.
BP XP doesn't even help much at all. There needs to be fighter currency as a reward for winning games, just like BP XP, AND from dailies.
They upgraded us from crumbs to scraps.
That isn't confirmed to be staying either they just changed it for this season
honestly, this game has shown me one thing in particular, that a grand majority of platfighters have one huge issue weighting it down
Multiversus starting out free to play kind of killed it from making it greedy because it was reaching 20 million active players but didn't get that much money compared to other games reaching that number.
Fraymakers art style is the biggest nightmare as not even the devs have made more than three characters fully animated in the game's 4 years of development, the game having a huge focus on modding support only made that so much worse as modders pretty much have no choose but to either spend a year or two spriting in this style or ditching the art style.
You had made a whole video on how Rivals 2 isn't a good sequel because it tries to appeal and play more like melee, ironically making it more like a smash clone than a smash rival.
Indie game battle and cross impact have so many issues in common it's scary how we're not looking back at the problems IGB had that so many platfighters have.
Honestly, despite so much good stuff about rivals 2, all these issues make me grow more and more distant from platfighters in general and my experience with CI did not help that either
Honestly I kinda agree. I can’t say for sure about Rivals since I never played the game and everyone has their own thoughts, but I agree with most of the other points. I love CI but it has issues at its core with moveset and assist design (idk if I’d compare it to IGB but I can see why it would be).
You can even include Nasb 1+2 on this list with the initial lack of crossplay and content for the first (VAs, items, single player content). The second game is tons better but the image was kinda damaged from the first game.
Honestly this stuff just makes me excited for games like Combo Devils and Smack Studio since those have promising aspects to them that make them more accessible and fun for all players.
@@Clownbelt-u2sI wrote down what I meant by the fact about other platfighters not looking at IGB of what not to do
- do not release your game in early access in the most early state, people will see that verison of the game AS the game. first impressions.
- please find a good art style you are comfortable making stuff in that DOES NOT add any sort of restriction on the project and its quality
- have a GOOD financial plan to pay your animators that they fully agree on that DOES NOT limit artistic value, this problem is not there if you are the one animating.

@@Clownbelt-u2sNick 2 is such a tragedy because it fixed almost everything wrong with the first game outside of some glitches ( Also it didn't have any good casual levels outside of the Thornberries one, but that's not that big of an issue because it's still fun to play casually), but the game's reputation and lack of marketing kept it from having a consistent scene. Shame because it's EASILY my favorite platform fighter that isn't a mod, but that game is as dead as a doorknob now, like actually, and they haven't even finished all the DLC yet.
also in brawlhalla you get every character they release in the future with the purchase
The servers won't even last two years before being shut down, who knows if it'll even last one.

Wait, players who played the beta got the pass for free? I didn't, and I played the beta quite a bit
Founders packs did
It came with a catch. There was a small time window where you had to log in before June 11th or else you don’t get Jason or the pass for free. I unfortunately didn’t because I was away from home during this even though I played beta when it was released
They need to reward more currency cuz that’s crazy, 150 hours?! I’m lucky because I got a couple character tickets from beta and had tons of gold. Feel bad for new players
Why not just pull a smash bros and just charge 70 dollars for the game but you get all of the characters and some costumes for them, just have to play around 20-30 matches to get all the characters, and since I know WB is greedy you could add a battle pass with a new character each season that you have to pay for (similar to dlc fighters in smash bros). Would still give WB a good amount of money, and fix this issue
Getting legends in Brawlhalla is way easier than it seem too, since you get gold for every queue (even private matches), for leveling up legends, doing the weekly gamemode, daily quests, and daily logging rewards, which also give you a minimum of like 300 gold as a minimum just for getting in the game
that thumbnail is still insane, even after hearing about this on other videos
the execs be GREEDY to a level i cannot comprehend
Wait i dont have the game but am a fighting game fan who has been observing these events... shaggy is the only base roster character? And banana is free if you do login stuff?
Yes, also random characters are available for free weekly and rotate. So after that week you can’t play as them and it switches to other characters
@@LgameZ damn thats like the free version of granblue vs rising then. Except as mentioned in the video you can just upgrade to the full game and get the other characters
I agree the grind is too much. But you did forget to mention that you also get glemium for character and battlepass levels. Which you can use towards getting characters too which lowers the time you calculafed by a bit.
As someone that played the beta, yeah the monetization is shite. Like, I have quite a few characters from the beta but that was less than half. And yeah, fighter currency is a terrible replacement for gold. So, do your quests, log on every day and get the free item from the shop (can be fighter currency) and just ignore the fact that your not getting characters and check your currency every 3 days.
Thank you for standing up for us people who only want to play this game offline locally.
I played the beta but I didn't get battle pass !😢
Big Rushdown Revolt patch coming in about a week.
Actually? I'm going to try out the update then if that's true. I hope that game gets picked up by a publisher/ studio so it can actually succeed.
I'm so happy I bought every character in the beta.. good luck on that grind you guys
Agree with virtually everything but the Agent Smith stuff. It's there as a bonus that you can prepare to grind for far before his release so you don't have to worry about unlocking him with currency. Whether he was in the game or not is irrelevant as he's a new character with no official gameplay out on him (at least when the event was released) and it straight up tells you this is to get it 2 weeks earlier than intended. Yeah you can say it's to force people to play their crappy PVE mode, but you don't HAVE to and can just use your currency when he comes out anyway whenever or however long it takes you to save all that up (GL to you non founder ppl ggnore)
I don't disagree, but what I mean is that the game should make it clear what you can and cannot get at this time. Many people booted up the game expecting to be able to get agent Smith off the gate (since we still don't know the release date, "two weeks early" tells us nothing) having the track tell you the date the next item is obtainable would help a lot.
@@Zetta330 Yeah I think what adds to the problem is the UI is so garbage that things don't even really explain what they mean when we read them. With the Top Dog PVP event, it just says "until July 14th" no time, nothing.
But what I assumed they meant, and the date that the final rift opens up, should mean 2 weeks after that point he should be released. Seeing as how the event is almost 2 months long, they don't expect it to be done quickly. The estimated time of earliest completion was believed to be July 10th so let's hope they learn from this shit show.
Im playing multiversus rn after they updated the amount of battlepass xp you get from a victory and its a much better amount now than it was before. I just won like 3 1v1s in a row and got around 600 xp, so slowly but surely we're making improvements here. It hurts my heart how egregious these microtransactions are because the core game is fun. I just hope they keep making these player friendly changes and maybe ill pay 5 bucks for a skin (think all the toonverse skins are $5) just to show a little support. What i refuse to do is give my money to a game that makes me play it as a full time job. Thats why the only free to play game i been spending money on lately is warframe
I only played beta for the 1st season, and with a laptop that had to run lowest settings to maybe function. With this video, I now realize I probably had enough gold to purchase a few fighters, and I didn’t buy any by the time gold went away. So oof, but I still enjoy the game and do agree its systems are worse than beta. I hope the game doesn't just leave again and that characters aren't going to be locked for 12 seasons.
No one wants to grind for hours upon hours for a character. People would rather buy a game with everything and get the dlc and skins down the line. No one wants battlepass 200 bucks is sad. And you can toast with fake accounts. But it’ll take forever. Also the rifts should let you use all characters IDC it’s a pvcpu mode would make people less bored and let them try out people. Some missions you cannot fulfill with the free characters to and gems?!! WowThis game isn’t making it again. Online is always laggy to even offline.
I mean I would prefer not fishing DLC and skins ti be included
You know because I abhore locking shit that could easily be in the game in order to wring money out if people
@@jmurray1110 id prefer them to be unlocked to but some stuff is inevitably DLC always was that way.
@@mrthanos8140 no it wasn’t though remember there was a time when the game was the game fully complete at launch and never touched in fact it was like that for a long time but the internet lead to the idea of a complete game at launch being laughable because they could sucker people into giving them money and split fanbases
Remember horse armour was objectionable because it was cosmetic now it’s applauded when the only money sink is cosmetics because pay to win became the norm
You should be able to get the battle pass within 2-4 weeks imo
Beta Multiversus could have been perfect if it was simply polished up and given consistent support
It’s too far to get the agent smith
One thing to say to people that is not that big but still kinda an issue. So in rifts you need to play as certain characters, like lets say play an animated detective whos a bruiser, then the answer is shaggy right? but if you use the legendary Shagworthy or whatever the name is skin, he no longer counts as a detective character. Skins can add or remove the classifications of a character and its best to not use the skins without the prior idea it does that. Very stupid imo
I believe upgrading your battlepass is less than 1K Gleamium. If I had to do it over. I would upgrade the battle pass and then grind from there. I purchased gizmo instead now Im wishing I did the opposite. Gizmo is cool though. Im grinding to get 6K fighter coins to get Joker now. I would have gotten characters during the battlepass and it would have been more worth it for sure.
I mostly want the inpit buffer and lag removed like the Beta iam not coming back until the speed is restored.
Is it sad that I feel bad for other players who don’t get all the characters. I toast sometimes. When they aren’t being try hards Xd
2 year grind? How come I have all of them in 2 weeks
🤷 they changed it now for the better
You should 100% be able to jsve access to the whole character roster in customs and offline mode... I have a friend that just likes to 1v1 yet he is burdened with the fact that he will never get to even play with other fighters... that would be maddening. I play a lot but I also play all the characters as I got them all in the beta. I feel REALLY bad for new players as the characters are all super cool in their own way. The fact most will never experience them all is very sad...
Man I hope they revive Crash Team Rumble and also fix this game
Please convert all these hours into dollars. You can use the minimum wage conversion. If you do that people will start waking up to how expensive the actually is and you'd wish they just charged you for it.
It’s terrible before you could grind for a couple characters a week in your spare time. Also you had the option to fight bots to speed up the process.
I finished this impossible battle pass so idk what he’s one they made it easier to level up now the game so still not that amazing but at least they are trying
Single Player Gamer to Multiplayer gamer:
“Wow, sucks to be you.”
I mean, shitty monetization isn’t a multiplayer exclusive problem
It’s a lot easier w thumbs 😂
Almost every character I don’t have, I don’t want. I have almost all the new characters. It’s not that big a deal. The rifts are pretty trash tho
The ONLY thing I bought as cosemetic is the Swifty emote for Rick.
I currently only have 3 characters unlocked...Its actually insane how little the game gives you to unlock characters and I refuse to pay a DIME for a game doing this. Even the 50 XP win is so small, it does help but I would prefer actually getting currency for winning a match..LIKE NORMAL GAMES DO.
This is the things isn't it ..
Trying to be like fortnite...in fortnite u get nothing
I'm looking into this game but to be honest didn't come in expecting to grind characters I actually dont care
All im worried about is the characters I do have to grind for ...
Look I get it I really do but the way I see this and no one else will
If I like the game I will pay
Duelinks spent 1000s
Fortnite between me and my son 1000s
This will be no different
If people stopped paying it would be dead
No more updates.. no more seasons no more characters the game dies ..
Yes it's a cash cow
Yes it's annoying
Look at it this way because it's how I justify it
I'm not buying everything I'm buying what I like
I'm collecting my favourites
Jason agent smith batman superman bug bunny etc
I'm not buying out the rosta just what I like
And I'm not hit with welcome to a f2p game give me 10000 please for everything or fk off no
It's a catalogue see what u like
Now I dig catalogues
I like to browse see what's available and decide
Limited times only now uve pissed me off because now u paying next week for this is not good enough I want it now .. thats got my back up and not necessary...now I'm angry because ur forcing people to buy it sooner than they would have if you left them alone to purchase on their own terms
I don't mind paying but I want to.see it all infront of me and let me choose at my speed .. not urs
I don't give a fuck if ur managers going on vacation with his 6 wives
Fuck off I'll spend my hard earned money on my terms
That's fair to me
The Founder's packs alleviated a lot of these issues, but aren't even available in a downgraded sense. Bought the $100 version and I won't have to buy characters for YEARS. Multiversus doesn't seem like a well designed FREE game, but wouldn't have been that bad as a paid game.
4:42 No it's not. I guarantee you they set it to a virtually impossible rate that would get pushback so they could "listen" to the community and roll it ever-so-slightly back to the awful price they were planning on _actually_ setting it to in the first place, and people would be grateful for it instead of pushing back. It's a common marketing tactic by bozos like these. Stop letting them get away with awful shit just because it's slightly less awful than the even more awful shit that it previously was.
I think the fundamental flaw with this "it takes forever to unlock them all" argument is people have mains in fighting games. Usually like 2 or 3 tops they play as regularly. Once you have them, most people dont mind playing hundreds of hours to unlock the arbitrary ones they wont even use, cuz they were gonna play hundreds of hours anyway.
As a beta player im going through attempting to complete the rifts solo but it feels impossible as the difficulty spike is ridiculous if your facing more then one enemy and bosses having garbage recovery and hit boxes to combo to death. I log in and do dailys everyday miss here and there miss one day a week but its horrendous how i meet the requirements to fight a rift but i still fail to do the damage needed regardless. Feeling poor way to make the game challenges actually balance and just bog down your strength bu diminish your damage and see no next to no improvement to yourself as you climb scratching and struggling to get strongerbeyond instanity and looney and locking out other difficulties while the agent smith event ending in a few days feel like walling me off to play theyre difficulty on by skiping to harder challanges beyond rift 4-9 not letting acess to experinced. You might say i need to get good but theyre only so much you can do if youre a solo player.
It is true that if you did a lot in the beta. I did not realized that it was a beta, but after I found that the game fun I sprung for buying the middle one. Then I realized that the grind for getting everyone wasn't that bad so I got most of the beta ones with the coins. Then it went away I was wondering if I screwed myself not using them but now still have the tickets and still am taking it slow and still have tickets and am only short 4 of the roster. Then again cosmetics are a rare thing for me so if I get a costume or not does not matter to me.
With a game still in such a early stage nothing is set in stone here. I wouldn't get to worked up about how you're going to get everyone and doing mass calculations, when at the drop of a dime the whole currency system could be turned on its head. Just be smart with your currency try before you buy and have a good time.
I have every character for free plus an additional 30k fighter currency and I'm about to get Batman TAS skin for free with gleamium I earned. This video is false click bait nothing more.
"Max out 6 fighters, get 1 free!"
I've been playing this game for six weeks, I play reindog religiously, and I still haven't maxed him out.
6000 for a new char is absolutely nuts.
19:47 this is can ultimately get characters ban
There’s little to no rewards for anything . The daily missions and stuff are the only thing that yield any benefit and it’s repetitive boring content for Jack shit
This is the exact reason why I'll never bring myself to play this game.
You forgot terrible network issues, it’s hard to grind when your matches keep getting dropped.
Dude it took me so long to get beetlejuice and it was worth it but dude it took so long it was just far too boring
Used to play this game for hours during the beta. Played 2 games and felt disgusted at how shitty this gsme feels now
15:22 The beta had Rested EXP? Does the current version even have that? I feel like every Battle Pass game needs that.
right as i watched this video is when i realized all of this is true
i already knew it was extremely grindy, but damn.
theres a couple of things that could maybe change our aspect
1. Login Rewards
this just makes sense yk
2. Occasional difficult missions that reward more
can pop up in dailys and weeklys
3. A system where it looks at the match and determines stuff like how many times you were hit, and the ratio between how many lives the winner and loser had
this is a NEED
thoughts?
ik #1 said daily for a sec i realized after like 30 min maybe
Welp, just a few weeks later and Multiversus has lost over 95% of the playerbase on Steam
The only thing I see we can get fr is perk points. Sure you need the points to unlock perks but you dont need every single perk. Im sitting on like 50k in perk points and my characters feel coo.
If they want to keep The currency at a “minimum” thats coo too, But a free to play gotta atleast make it doable. Give me a conversion system between the different points Like for every 5,000 perk you get 1,000 fight. Or something with the Prestige, that would be dope 🗣️
I don't play too often but i got 10k fighter currency in a week and im not entirely sure how.
This video should be the thing mvs devs AND WB EXECUTIVES WATCH
The thing i hate the most about mvs rn is local not having all characters
And offline mode not being in the game
Im playing since launch and played the beta since lauch as well
I hate not being able to get characters as easy as beta , and i was one of the unlucky ones that lost all characters i unlocked in the beta
All i got was bugs and i had almost half of the cast in beta
But i would forgive it if i had local offline mode ....
Right now i feel bored because using the same 3 characters over and over again suck , the variety is paywalled
But i would love to host a tournament and play the game locally offline on my birthday
All my friends battling with any character , and it sucks that i cant do that because
1 all characters are locked unless you have them
2 offline doesnt exist anymore
Anything and everything this game does i will hate unless they add back local and offline the way it was in beta
You’re manipulating the data. Showing us how hard to get all characters with toasts only, although they aren’t even meant to be a “get a new character” thing. I’m aware that later you’ve showed how to get fighter currency otherwise, but why show toasts in the first place.
The point in showing toasts first was to show the method of grinding characters. Toasts are the only repeatable method of getting fighter currency that aren't technically tied to any sort of time gates or limited events. Considering most other F2P games reward players for grinding like this (Brawlhalla, League of Legends, etc) I thought it was fair to compare the base rate of getting characters without factoring in limited time events.
My calculation for Brawlhalla's rate was purely based on the amount you could get without limited time events as well, so I don't think it's an unfair comparison.
While I do loathe the greed, just the fact that the game is so much slower also just stopped me from playing already. Just look at how Velma moves at 20:31 nobody can do that in the game right now, everyone is just so huge and slow and boring to look at now. Slow gameplay and horrendously greedy devs/publishers just made me stop playing and it'll probably shut down again before they can fix anything.
you know what i understand that people wants everything for free but u gotta understand something they creat the game to earn money so for me its a fair system you know free battle passe for anyone who played the game in the beta also i got alot of skins just because i played some games the xp of battle passe is fair (50 per win ) + all the daily and weekly mssions and stuff so yeah i play like daily 3 games and 3 other games in rifts and honestly i have almost enough coin for the next battle pass and the battle pass still got 37 days i guess so yeah maybe the fact 3 k and 6 k for a new caracter is harsh but it is what it is u gotta understand that they spent alot of money and they want to start earning you know
I’ve gotten toast twice. I have played thousands of games and have just shaggy. But I like rifts so ig I can get Rick 👍
Forgot in original post I did get agent smith for some reason too I have no idea why and I also am level 64 so it’s not impossible, you just gotta get good lmao
Solution for character prices: make all characters 1500 fighter currency
It takes 100 videos talking trash about multiversus to being it down this game will not fail the fact that someone always has a complaint instead of just playing the free to play game shows how good it is if it was really bad people wouldn’t even talk about it devs are genuinely working out the players requests into the game this game gonna get better and better
Don't get me wrong, I like the game a lot, but that's all the more reason to be critical of it. I want the game to be better, and there's a lot of genuine issues that should be fixed.
Unfortunately, I don't have the same sentiment that the game won't fail. It already did once, I think that the game needs to make moves quickly to prevent it from happening again.
Thankfully PFG has made some genuine improvements to the systems, but there's still a lot that needs to be done.
People talk about it a lot even those who hate it (not including me) because devs have a fricking GOLD MINE in their hands considering the amount of insane characters that could be in the game. Remember, its Warner Bros that own this game, also means Multiversus could be what Smash players always wanted because they have tons of money and are willing to invest in esport, which they already did twice if Im not wrong.
So yeah, its a huge topic for fighting game players.
Honestly you're not supposed to play every character. This game encourages maining a character and u can try them out before hand so u don't waste ur hard earned player currency. I also played since the beta so I already have all of them plus character tickets so I'm in the minority. Sucks for new players tho I get it.
I understand the goal of the system is mostly to stick with the characters you like, but when quests require the other characters you don't have, that's kinda an issue where you do need access to those other characters.
Also, like I said, the game went from having a niche but strong offline scene to the game being practically impossible to play offline because all the characters are locked.
Honestly in my opinion the game has unlimited potential but thats the biggest flaw
Reminds me of overwatch. But at least there all the characters are unlocked
i really hope the add an option to buy tiers in the battle pass so that it makes the grinds easier
3:30 already outdated info,they made it 50 for a win,25 for a loss now
You said it... I loved this game in its beta state (I put 170h in it) and even though they made it slower and changed many small aspects like the UI I still like it.
I think the Rift is not bad but this new system is stupid... During the beta I unlocked almost every char, I was only missing Joker, Rick, Stripe, Black Adam and Marvin.
After investing 90 more hours Im still missing 2.5k to buy the last one.
Other downside: the servers (EU in my case) are still very bad, I keep experiencing the "match desynchronised" at least once per day or absolute random and terrible lags.
I might stop wasting my time and comeback later... or not.
Brawlhalla's battle pass model is actually pretty good. See every bp level requires 12 gems. You earn gems through 3 ways. Bp missions, bp exp, and dailies. Bp missions are given every Wednesday and give a couple levels, bp exp is earned through regular play and give various amounts of gems from 2 to 6 to 12, and dailies give 4 meaning every 3 days you get a level. So if a bp gets released you can save up dailies and get 1 level day one. You have ample opportunities to grind out the bp and get levels easily by just playing a lot. As well if you beat all the missions you get a special completionist avatar. As for the rewards you get a couple character skins, one epic skin with new animations, a progression skin that's 3 skins in one, a progression podium, several avatars, emojis, an exclusive color for your legends whch has a universal unlock for current and future characters, one ko effect, weapon skins for each weapon, and taunts. There's a lot of stuff to earn. And there's boosters in the gold track to make it easier
Yeah, multiverses used to have an option in the beta where you could just buy the founders edition and get all the characters and a set number of future ones. However, I do think the idea that it takes this long to grind out fighter currency is a little disingenuous. I've been casually playing this game since it launched and I'm just about to hit 10K fighter currency. It's only been out for like 2 and 1/2 weeks and I have enough to get three characters and still have a thousand left over.
