Played this game a lot on PlayStation and iPad... sadly, the new PVP structure with immortals kinda looks cool - but it's implimented in a fashion that is set to disenfranchise a large portion of the player base (myself included). The campaign structure is pay to win (at least in PVP zones). Not only that, you now need to invest a crap ton of time into PVP to even get close to a point where your faction is earning you some measely rewards to aid in the rest of your game (like buying dragonite etc). Resetting the overall PVP and alliance rank was so poorly implimented. I played for nearly 3 hours today, and I bagged about 10k in VP...and that was with the bonus WEEKLY rewards of VP... so reaching 800k over the season? Practically impossible unless you invest in a bot to play for you so you can sleep some. It's highly discouraging to most players. You'll end up with a bunch of whales you invest a lot of money - but the rest just leaving and investing their time elsewhere... then the whales lose their incentive to invest too. I've seen it happen time and time again. You're better looking at smaller transaction fees that give less advantage, but something that still can be acquired with time investment. Then grinders will grind, payers will pay - and everyone feels like it's more competitive and remain loyal to the game.... But this current way... won't work out well unless something is changed.
Love this game. Going on 7 years of playing and still lots of new content coming in !
Wish it had an offline feature 😪
