I was in a top 40 alliance and I decided to quit around September 1st. I miss things about the game like my friends and alliance mates, many of whom I still speak to in discord from time to time. I have found myself with a lot more time to be social in the real world, my partner is very happy that I’m more attentive and not sneaking off to play my game in another room. I’ve returned to other hobbies like playing magic cards with real life friends, writing and recording music, going out for hikes/walks. I’m less depressed, Less socially anxious. I’m free! I strongly suggest it to anyone feeling negative about this game to get out and move on.
As a PoH member from one of the lowly sister alliances, shout out to PoH Wong Size Matters, I completely get it. Thinking about quitting myself. At first I was questioning if I wanted to get ZIM, but those offers are so bad and so anti-player the internal dialogue of figuring out if I was going to get Zombie Iron Man became if I would even stay. The game is a second job, some days a first job to be honest. I am supposed to start back to work on my masters in January and I can't see myself being able to juggle that, work, and MSF. So what do you think I'll choose when something has to go? It isn't going to be MSF. That's the saddest part, if I wanted to spend more it still would not offset time spent. I would still have to play just as much. Video games used to let people unable to grind spend to stay relevant, but this game you have to be on 24/7 AND spend like a mad man to stay relevant. I'd love to see Apocalypse, but I wonder how much that will upset me, how much more money set on fire to obtain him in a usable state, how much more time spent day after day? All the respect in the word to everyone at PoH, glad to see the leaders are taking a stand and bowing out when they feel it is their time. That time will come for all of us eventually, just some of us will be much sooner than later.
@@buyhighselllow4319 I don't spend 6 hours a day playing the game. You'll watch a Football game that's slotted for 3-4 hours with the ball in motion for less than 50 minutes. If you don't want to play the game, there's the uninstall option.
@@sgenigma7814 can watch sports and do other things. Can leave watching sports and it does not impact anyone else. This game, to really do well for even a casual alliance, needs absolute commitment and that means collectively a few hours a day mashing grind buttons and hitting boring ass raid nodes.
I really hope that post gains traction and gets a ton of up votes! I will certainly being giving it a thumbs up and hope Scopely sees it. 3 year player myself and really do not like the direction of the game. It's gotta change and change fast or else they are going to start losing players in droves. It's not really fun right now.
Great video MobileGamer, I agree with many of the comments. I've been playing at a pretty involved level for several years and feel the game has gone down a bad path over the last year or so. We as players no longer have agency. With the power creep so aggressive, by the time I can usually get a character high enough to be relevant, new teams are introduced that completely remove the value of that character. I'm spending more and more time per day to stay relevant. Half of our alliance has quite the game, which is telling of direction along with very helpful when many of the challenges have become alliance based. Lastly, I used to be a pay to play and the pricing structure has just gotten so aggressive that I can't rationalize spending money on a declining game. Thanks for all the great content and sorry to be so long winded!
That part about playing because of friendships in the alliance really hit home. I’ve been struggling with quitting for some time now. I would just feel bad about leaving them, but I lost the love of this game about 4 months back.
I was the same. I finally bit the bullet two weeks ago and broke the news to my alliance that I was quitting. 3 people quit too because they were just waiting for someone else to be the first.
Game Economy is #1. "Please invest money, time, blood, sweat and tears into this character because we are making it the most OP character ever. But we will come out with another Kraken character as soon as your wallet is empty, making that character obsolete. Thanks for playing." - Scopely
My 1.1m 8W are not obsolete. My 800k BO are not obsolete. Please stop chasing the best unit. No new unit is ever NEEDED to complete content in this game.
This is the best video I’ve watched in awhile. I love that people are speaking up. Everyone feels the same way and scopely doesn’t care. I was cheering the entire time, especially when he said they weren’t funding scopely anymore.
My biggest gripe is the alliance milestones. No one wants to miss out on things because they couldn’t get 23 other members of their alliance to jump on board and contribute. It just feels bad. Has broken up countless alliances and every time that happens, at least a few players quit.
For me, I just stopped caring. The game requires me to log in in specific times, look at the store, then bugger off. And most of the time for me, I get characters that are useless or got at 7. Not to mention the requirement of nearly useless characters to get characters or scourges getting some sort of stealth buffing. And frankly, I feel relieved.
I hope that Scopely finally recognizes what they're doing.... but i really feel like they've known for a while and have been trying to cash in until the dam breaks, and breaking has begun.
I quit last week after a combination of wanting to improve my mental health and also steadily losing interest and it caused a landslide in my alliance, resulting in the whole thing closing down. Those who still wanted to play went super casual, but I can honestly say I don't miss it at all.
My alliance is a group that has mostly been together for the better part of the last year and a half. Over the last 2 months, we've lost 7 members, 5 of which were long time members or captains, all due to burnout and the game being more of a job than a fun pasttime with friends.
Pretty much exactly how I've been feeling the last few months. Burnout, power creep and the fact that everything team I ever levelled gets replaced by one new character. Each day is going through the motions. I love the game, just wish Scopely showed that same love to the game to. It feels like they just want to make some quick cash. Everything they do is half-assed and rather than fix things or balance existing characters, they just add 5 more, call it a team and tell people you need to buy this. It's just too much.
When Apocalypse was first announced and they called it, The Age of Apocalypse, I joked that it was really just a euphemism for Scopley trying to kill the game. As this year has progressed, I can't help but revisit that thought. Price tags have gotten higher and higher, time invested value is being reduced immensely on events to where you are now getting the bare minimum to unlock anything. The economy has crashed to a near stand still in some areas. They've literally cut off support to the game in multiple parts of the world so they can no longer play and massive amounts of people are quitting on top of that. How does all that happening not sound like "The Age of Apocalypse"?
Alliance leader here: quitting is discussed daily in my alliance. If my alliance dies I’m done. Please keep posting about people quitting. Scopely needs to realize what they actually did.
I agree..we've lost and gained many cool players in out alliance..some just wanna be casual..some super serious..but if our alliance ever break up..I'm done as well..good luck to your alliance
@@jefflorenzen6913 Same for me. Not a leader but 3rd string war captain when the others get busy. I feel like I've such an investment in the alliance I've been with since I could get into them. So much time and effort to build my roster and finally clearing DD4 after years of work with minimal spending. And here I am now with 10 characters all favorited to focus on building. I'm dry on gold and training mats constantly and I feel like I'm not able to do anything anymore until they're built up. I often find myself just rerunning DD2 over and over again just to feel like I'm sorta playing. At least there I can sit back and enjoy the admittedly good combat animations on most toons. Got off track there but I feel if my alliance were to fully dissipate, I'd feel like there's nothing more in the game for me. I hate solo pvp, personally but I enjoy the team effort of war and the strategy needed to tackle it. CC is just a matter of throwing in CC teams and kicking back, same for arena and it's just boring.
I closed our alliance down last week because of the amount of people quitting and the burn out, joined a casual alliance but probably deleting the game this weekend.
The game has felt like a chore for at least a year now. Many from my alliance have quit recently, weve been together since alliances were first introduced but now feel like a broken family. I myself have been planning to quit but being one of the strongest members ive felt guilty about it. I told myself that once i beat DD5 i would reassess where im at. Now that i have dormommu ive made the decision to quit after finishing my timed run. Its a damn shame that after 3 or 4 years of at least 1-2 hours daily i have to move on but this shit is just too much now
The reason in the post theorized why many stay is spot on! I'm literally only still playing because I don't want to let my alliance friends down; but I've severely cut my play time and won't spend a dime anymore. It's really only a matter of time before I don't even open the app up even once a day.
The other day I missed my first full 24hrs in over 2 years which was crazy because I never saw that happening but that's when I knew that I'm much less engaged with the game as I used to be and I'm at the point of not even doing blitz anymore 😂
Shouldn't play out of obligation. Do them the mercy of leaving now. When you all quit, perhaps the offers will get better. Someone is buying these rediculous offers. If they weren't, the prices would be less. But why are you arguing the price point of digital goods/services, that are 100% free over time? 0% of content is needed for ZIM to complete. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Very. Simple.
@@sgenigma7814 and when all quit the game has no spenders and shuts down 😂 duh. It's like you people forget that company's have to make money or something your so naive that you think that once the spenders leave that they're going to satisfy you erm no once the company starts taking huge losses for example the big spenders leave and a game doesn't make what they want they close the game down and move onto another project and even if you're a little spender yeah little spenders don't cut it sorry to burst your bubble little spending is literally nothing to them so your point is invalid instead it's just a silly divide between people who spend and who don't which by the way 1 last thing I didn't see any one say they're buying the offers here which is another reason why your point is invalid
I am glad this has happened tbh. It will cause something to happen one way or another. The part about really only playing the game because of friends or alliance mates really hits home because this has actually been why I have continued to play. I am burnt out by many things in this game. Stuff mentioned in the video and a couple others as well. Not sure how much longer I will be playing if there aren't some major changes in the right direction made. And even then I don't know at this point.
Why are you playing a game that's not fun or spending your time in an obligatory manner on entertainment you don't find entertaining? 🤔🕵🏾 Do your Alliance the mercy of quitting now. You're delaying the inevitable. They don't need you, they'll be okay and the game will be just fine after you're gone. ✌🏾
I had been considering leaving for a while even though it was fun, since it felt harder and harder to keep up with high-level event requirements without spending real money (while simultaneously trying to better gear my Doom II raid teams (without spending money). The final decision happened by chance. My phone was having issues and broke down shortly after unlocking Rogue in the horseman event. It took longer than expected to get my replacement phone and by the time i got the replacement i realized "I can't do this any more". I truly understood the amount of time and dedication i was having to put into a game, often begrudgingly, by getting that time back. And I was free to do so many other things and live my life. That was when i was done. I have considered going back casually at times but it's literally not worth it. I wouldn't be able to do any of the new stuff without paying, and Doom raids were the only other progression i had left to focus on and I can't do that solo or casually. So, I'm free.
Edit: I specifically couldn't keep up with new high level event requirements without real money because i had only been playing about a year and a half so i wasn't sitting on a mountain of unused resources to be able to max out full teams of brand new characters that were also required for the next event. That was a deliberately terrible business model choice by Scopely on that one.
It's almost as if scopley has no idea how gaming and player bases work. They see players starting to quit because of their poor programming and poor pricing, so their answer to this is "We have to raise the prices to accommodate for the players that left!" Which in turn makes more players leave and they jack the prices up again trying to accommodate for those that left. It's a vicious cycle that ends with the downfall of one of the best mobile games ever released. I never thought I would say these words... I miss foxnext..
I think the weirdest thing about the "game being in a weird place" is that it seems like these are the same things that we were talking about when I quit almost 18 months ago.
As others have said; I’m a heavy spender and I am struggling to find enjoyment, or even a reason to play. I will be done spending by the end of the year, and it’s a high likelihood that I’ll be done with the game entirely. The game feels like it fights with me. Thank you for the video.
@@Bankai2169 two reasons. 1.) I’m holding out hope for Nightcrawler. And more importantly 2.) I’ve invested so much into Apocolypse I feel the need to finish it strong.
I'm a alliance leader I've had so many good player's quit the game this year getting harder to recruit aswell seriously considering quitting the game myself
I have quitted exactly a year ago, just saw this video. My reasons were: too much time invested, devaluating of your heroes with every new team, crazy prices, bugs n bugs, game felt like a 2nd job....so yeah, that was A YEAR AGO!!! Nothing changed ffs, mad respect for everyone still trying to spend time in that game, mad respect indeed!
It pains me to see what Scopley is doing to the game. I LOVE all things Marvel. It is the staple of my childhood and something that brought my huge family of 8 together. I played for a little over three years with Prophets of the Unknown. I finally had to quit because the time required to play as a primarily F2P and my job and being a leader in my church and being married was obscene. My marriage, health and mental well-being were all suffering…and it goes beyond just “feeling bad” because of a poor release method, or FOMO. Scopley has created a beast fueled by dependency, over spending, egregious time sinks…and the kicker is the initial draw, the lure, is nostalgia. Scopley has completely corrupted something that was so fun, pure, and enjoyable. I still feel bad about leaving my alliance in July and I watch videos occasionally to show support for your channel (because you MG, became part of my daily life as well). Ultimately a much longer post than I intended, but I had to say it. Even now, while my life has been getting better since I quit MSF, part of me is really sad because I know that I will never be able to play this game again. Legitimately sad, like heavy heart-wet eyes-sad. If you read this MG, thank you for reading it. And thank you to anyone else who reads this lengthy comment! Be well, take care, and don’t let MSF take your happiness.
I quit this game about 3 months ago, which was about 2 months after I beat DD4 for the second time. My reason for quitting was simple, the power creep was getting way to out of hand, and it felt like if you decided not to buy 1 character you would fall behind massively. I loved this game, but the monetisation is killing it.
@@jamesconnell1713 there's always a reason why people who beat a Dark Dimension quit. Usually they put too much emphasis on getting a goal and usually that equates to ⏳ & 💰. Quitters quit, It's not 🌍🔬🧫🧪 (Earth science). This game has high turnover rate, the health of the game is great.
@@sgenigma7814 no offence mate, but ur in denial if u think this game is in a healthy state. I didn't spend a large amount of money on this game, and I happily took my time going through DD4 because it was fun, that had nothing to with me qutting. It was the power creep and aggressive monetisation, you can't say it isn't a problem
End game player was 20+m TCP I quit and deleted my account. I don't ever want to even try to convince myself to come back. The fact that we went an entire year with 90% of the characters they added not farmable was the building pressure that broke me. Scopely has no interest in doing anything other than making money. They don't have any interest in making their players happy.
I tried to claim the free power cores 3 days ago. I lost access to my account. CS just tell me to keep requesting reset password. Which I have done but no code email arrive. I wish I could play but can not.
I uninstalled the game last night after seeing the ZIM offers and seeing the writing on the wall that this is the new business model they have apparently adopted. I was a moderate spender and was a 1500+ day player. There has been problems for some time now and they seem to just be getting worse. I kept playing mainly for my alliance as I had a 27mil TCP and had the top roster in the alliance, I felt they deserved me trying to hang on and not feel abandoned buy someone that was there every day and doing what was needed to move everyone forward and so did the other 23 members. It just seems like the player base is standing on the tracks waiting for Scopely to stop the train but they are showing no intention of doing so. Now people are worried and are getting off the tracks and in turn may never trust that the train will stop for them when they find themselves in the same place time and time again. Can anything be done about it now or is that train going too fast for too long to stop in time or is everyone just stepping off and walking away before any damage is done.
I was in an amazing alliance with people I chatted with and grew friendships with on Discord. Unfortunately, the state of the game had me quit in February. Its sad to see the game has only gotten worse since then.
Playing since beta . What has me considering is the fact I was breezing through doom skill 1 and 2 until I maxed out my Raid skill characters to lvl 90 , 6rs , gear 16 to every raid and character and some how the nodes are harder . Bio as well. I feel like I put everything into raid characters to make them the best because it’s a daily grind . Instead I feel punished and defeated . The carrot at the end of the stick is gone , the fun is gone , it’s core till your poor .
Another "Power Entity" that has totally forgottten how it got it's "Power"...THE PLAYERS. We made you and we can just as easily BREAK you. You think on that, Scopley, because it's the absolute truth. \m/
This is an accumulation of the same issues for years. I've personally become f2p and have only spent once in months. These issues should have been taken seriously a long time ago in order to fix them. Now Scopely is so entrenched in what it's done and the game has evolved so much to match that, that I don't think there's anything Scopely can do now to course correct. Very unfortunate.
I had taken a break about a year ago because of some personal life circumstances but got back into it this summer. It’s been so hard to catch up and with the constant stream and the constant never relenting event requirements it has not been fun at all. I use to really enjoy this game and I love Marvel. But find myself defaulting to other games right now because this feels more like work than fun. Probably about done myself.
Frankly, the best thing that could happen to this game is to fail financially and scopely taking a big economical loss. For us the costumers there are plenty of other games in the market, and many with similar gameplay or marvel themed. And in the other hand would be a good cautionary tale for the companies that greed leads to failure.
They’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s all that matters to them. The game has been a massive business success and they Will do exactly the same.
@@jspettifer indeed they a good amount of money and the game is profitable. However, the point is that instead of maintaining the revenue or increasing it, they are taking bad decisions and killing the golden goose. So, deapite they'll continue having revenue, how much money they will be NOT making? Will any other important IP be granted to scopely? Will people see what is going on in this game and decide not to enter to play other scopely games? Will this give disney as bad reputation and to prevent damage to their IP will take measures?
Quit the game 2 weeks ago. Got tired of all the grind events, and feeling the need to keep up with the alliance and all events (especially also the web events) just got too much. And I played for 1670 days but it took surprisingly little effort the break off this addiction/habit.
It is definitely a demanding game! I'm on it morning...work..dinner..bed time..lol. I still love it but I know many in our alliance getting tired of all the things u gotta do each day
The changes made this patch with zim release, gear, and red star along with the changes to nakias camp release are all step in the wrong direction. These the expectations going forward? 🤷♂️
I quit the game about 8 months ago for the reasons listed. I come back to your content because I enjoy it, despite not playing. It’s a shame the developers have not fixed the game because at one point it was really enjoyable. Hope it gets better because I would the consider going back.
A lot of good points made here. However, I'd question the point that Arena and Crucible are broken. The Arena meta is more interesting and varied right now than it's been for probably over a year. Crucible is probably my favourite game mode at the moment. Other than that, bang on the money.
As a 1109 day player who use to be in one of the top poh alliances i stepped back few months ago. Now on the verge of quitting. So sad game use to be so fun…
I quit 2 weeks ago had to take a break and it is amazing to see how much spare time you get from not playing this ‘job’ as it is not a game anymore unfortunately. Realising that the only reason I was logging in was for my alliance mates not for my enjoyment anymore
Had to quit a year ago. Felt like it took up so much of my time/life. Started to argue with alliance mates for not completing things (and then with me), spending tons of money, etc. Once i stopped, it felt like I came out of a fog and could breathe again.
I quit about 2 months ago and have not looked back. It sucks to see the same issues not just getting worse, but getting worse so QUICKLY. Start by taking a break for a day. And then 2 days. And then slowly realize you may enjoy it less than you thought. And then realize that one or 2 days of not being in the game have completely screwed you over because it's all or nothing. And now you are free to never go back.
I quit months ago, was apart of top 3-10 alliances in the game. Quitting this game was the best thing I’ve done in terms of gaming. So much time back in my life and way less stressful.
I stopped spending on the game about a year ago. I've kept playing and had fun in my new, more casual alliance. I play for less than 30 mins a day and am happy with it. I can see where "serious" players would be over it.
Truth. The point about new characters being OP is spot on. You have characters now who at 3 yellow level 90 are more powerful that an old character at level 90 5 yellow 5 red
I can no longer login since it says there's an error connecting to fb. I try and it crashes the game, kicking me back to my alt account. Guess I'm done with the game! Whoopie!
I quit because I moved and so I missed out of a few characters and I knew that I'd never recover because the meta is so up to date and they take forever to re-release characters and I figured what's the point?
I played from launch until almost exactly a year ago and I finally ripped the band-aid off and quit. Honestly it was nice to have my life back and not checking the time constantly to hit my attacks and whatnot. I missed what the game was early on but it devolved into something toxic and quit honestly more of a chore than fun.
I am frustrated so much by the current blitz glitches that basically doesn’t let me blitz during a blitz event that lets you get the highest point item for the monthly events, that plus zim release, I’m leaning towards leaving
Mmm, I dunno. Im a fairly new player, only like 3.5-4 months in. I’m enjoying the game a lot. My biggest thing was I joined the game to get Rogue… but couldn’t. But I’ve had good luck with the Horseman orbs and have both Morgan and Rogue now. Neither 7 stars, but they don’t have to be. As a long time Marvel fan from the 90’s, I’m excited to just have access to so many different characters. That being said, I also see the other side of the argument from the long time, heavily invested players like those that would qualify to be in an alliance like PoH. Monetary investment in a game makes it more personal, and a heavy monetary investment can make it volatile when the game starts to go off the rails for them or starts to take advantage of their spending by doing an event like ZIM. I’ve unlocked him at 2 stars and I’m good with that. But putting a $300 price tag on a character that has been clarified as only being available for a week… expecting a quick cash influx from all your spenders who are completionists… pretty dirty. I can understand why the big alliances are pissed but at the same time, it isn’t directly affecting me because I don’t care if all my characters are maxed out or not. Atleast rn now anyway. This game is a pastime and I only invest when I’m on and specifically wanting a character or something.
You can call it a hobby all you want, but if you say what’s your spending level for a MOBILE game, you are the problem! You don’t pay to play, you pay to win. This is not gaming. Also how can you cry about teams when you know some toons like ikaris needed nerfs and y’all say nothing?
I catch videos occasionally to see if anything has gotten better. I stopped playing because the game was requiring too much time. The teams I worked so hard to build ended up next to useless. Without deep pockets I couldn't keep up with the spend spend if you want those shards to the latest kings and queens of power creep.
Wow POH is disbanding. I finally quit at least 6 months ago and could not be happier. I check in on content here and there cuz I really like the CC s an still want to support but man it's literally the same issues from when I was playing. NOTHINGS CHANGED. I'll I got to say at this point Snap is so much fun it's refreshing to just pick up play without worrying about the horrible screen time msf had. Hope it gets better cuz it was a good game
I was scrolling youtube and noticed this video. I quit 3 weeks ago and haven't and thought of it until I saw this post. 4 and a half years and countless money.
I’m just over a year in and am FTP. The game was stopped and killed for me trying to get any character to gear tier 16. Dimensions is just a chore and I have to be careful who I level up now due to resources. So I level up who I need, not who I want. Omega Red seems unattainable due to ultimately needing Kree Minions on 5 stars, which is a slow and boring process.
one other problem is the rng when u try to farm a campaign node.. i spend lots of energy and cores to take like 1 or 2 fragments or shards, specially when u need like 10 to finish… omg where is the joy in that..? sorry for my english is not the best, just like the game 😅
I've been a light spender since starting the game, currently going on 16 mil tcp and I've got one foot out the door. I have and do enjoy the game, at least some of the time, but I'm annoyed by many of the very things mentioned in this post and not sure how much longer I'll play. In fact it is due largely to the friendship with my fellow alliance members that I've stayed the last few months
I have been playing for 1000 days. I like the good. Am 100% F2P. But over the last few months its been crazy the time I have to put into it just to take part in the events to get the new toons. I didn't get a full gamma team. Cuz I didn't blitz every 2 hours for 4 days straight. Just get the point. The time I need to be playing just to unlock the new toons is crazy. And I think about quitting all the time.
Many of the reasons addressed are the same as why I uninstalled the game. Scopley clearly does not care about its players nor the health of their game. Time to move on.
For me its apocalypse who I'll not get for years at this point already also it's these month long events I keep being unable to get 3/4th the way through.
Yeah I'm up there with those reasons. Just the time to play the game. Like I don't log in for a day, and they'll punish you for a whole week. I complained about quality of life and when they added simulated battles in raids and auto dailies completed I was like yes! But yeah you don't log on for whatever the reasons are, and it takes you a week to get back those benefits.
I miss FoxNext - I was never pressured by them to unlock and build characters the way I am now. The worst thing is that my 3 year old roster has been devalued and there is no way for me to recoop my loss. Not time or resource wasted, mind you, but a lot of my tier 16 characters have real little to no value at all in the grand scheme that is Scopely.
27m 1500 day player. The game is super unhealthy for the fact of HAVING to make the game part of your morning AND night time routine. Never mind all the other nonsense which includes specific psychological tactics to get people to spend. The game feels more like a chore and something farming my time instead an enjoyable product. It’s been years and they still won’t get their stuff together. They know how to make the game fun and choose not to. Scopely has ruined this great game that I used to love.
I don't think they're quitting though. I think some of them might but my guess is they just disperse to other kraken alliances and just keep on truckin.
I recently quit after about 2 years of play...I was about 15M TCP...my main reason was the time sink but the ridiculous difficulty of the new content state of the meta and lack of player agency just became unfun on any level...when it becomes a chore then it's time to move on
I agree with all that was said 100% I left the game a few months ago because I was feeling exactly the same. I saw the writing on the wall and didn't want to waste my time anymore. First I just stopped spending, and then I did the most important thing for me... I stopped giving Scopely/MSF my time. As much as I loved the alliances I was with and the time we all spent playing this game, it just became too much to deal with when problems would always pop up and Scopely would basically put us all in a position to spend just to stay on track. Not worth it in my opinion. Hopefully they make changes for the better, but as for me I won't be going back to the game.
This pretty much sums up why I quit playing, excluding the spending issue. I was F2P and those issues sum up exactly why I left. I didn't have the time, or patience to keep playing and the very slow rate of progress that F2Ps are relegated to. The game became overly repetitive and left no room for individual strategy. I had to accept that I wouldn't be able to recruit new toons for 6 months or more and even then I also had to accept that it'd be a very long time before they'd be leveled a useful level because mat and gear took too long to aquire.
I quit aboyt a year ago after the Thanksgiving event. Crazy that the game is still predatory, yet people are still playing. Uninstall and you won't miss it after a week.
I started a new job in July. Shortly after, the alliance I was in kicked me out for not participating enough which was fine because I was thinking of quitting anyways. MSF became too tedious, time consuming, and boring. Not to mention that I was working 10+ hours a day to provide for myself and my family. So how is it feasible to continue playing a game that could take over an hour to play on a daily basis?
We just had this talk in my alliance. I don't think any of us are quitting just yet...but the wallets are certainly tightening up. Just like everyone else, that Zombie Ironman...broke the dam
I'm honestly at the end of my enjoyment of this game. It feels like I can't enjoy anything else because I have to keep up with the game. I have to log in for what feels like 4-5 hours at a time after work just to catch up with everything. It sucks. War is a drag, Crucible is meh, arena is a chore, and blitz is a clock that rings every 2 hours. And this mess with ZIM is kind of the last straw.
They dont keep the events around long enough... i missed out on zim... that sucks... was the only Halloween event and it went by in like 2 days... or some shit like that...
Pretty much casual player, Apocalypse definitely broke the world. The only good thing that happened is that I got 180 ZIM shards and now all my resources will definitely get funneled on that unit, because the game wants me to.
I was in a top 40 alliance and I decided to quit around September 1st. I miss things about the game like my friends and alliance mates, many of whom I still speak to in discord from time to time. I have found myself with a lot more time to be social in the real world, my partner is very happy that I’m more attentive and not sneaking off to play my game in another room. I’ve returned to other hobbies like playing magic cards with real life friends, writing and recording music, going out for hikes/walks. I’m less depressed, Less socially anxious. I’m free! I strongly suggest it to anyone feeling negative about this game to get out and move on.
No hate. But I'm glad for you.
Gambling isn't for everyone.
In gambling there is a potential to win something. There is no risk of losing in marvel strike force because there is nothing to be gained. ❤️
@@batmanwins5701 Can't disagree bud.
That's why I'm 99% F2P. I get all content and have all content that's available for F2P.
As a PoH member from one of the lowly sister alliances, shout out to PoH Wong Size Matters, I completely get it. Thinking about quitting myself. At first I was questioning if I wanted to get ZIM, but those offers are so bad and so anti-player the internal dialogue of figuring out if I was going to get Zombie Iron Man became if I would even stay. The game is a second job, some days a first job to be honest. I am supposed to start back to work on my masters in January and I can't see myself being able to juggle that, work, and MSF. So what do you think I'll choose when something has to go? It isn't going to be MSF. That's the saddest part, if I wanted to spend more it still would not offset time spent. I would still have to play just as much. Video games used to let people unable to grind spend to stay relevant, but this game you have to be on 24/7 AND spend like a mad man to stay relevant. I'd love to see Apocalypse, but I wonder how much that will upset me, how much more money set on fire to obtain him in a usable state, how much more time spent day after day? All the respect in the word to everyone at PoH, glad to see the leaders are taking a stand and bowing out when they feel it is their time. That time will come for all of us eventually, just some of us will be much sooner than later.
26m player here. Agree with everything you said brother.
You do NOT have to spend any $ in this game and be competitive.

@@sgenigma7814 you must spend 6 hours a day in this game then.
@@buyhighselllow4319
I don't spend 6 hours a day playing the game. You'll watch a Football game that's slotted for 3-4 hours with the ball in motion for less than 50 minutes.
If you don't want to play the game, there's the uninstall option.
@@sgenigma7814 can watch sports and do other things. Can leave watching sports and it does not impact anyone else. This game, to really do well for even a casual alliance, needs absolute commitment and that means collectively a few hours a day mashing grind buttons and hitting boring ass raid nodes.
I really hope that post gains traction and gets a ton of up votes! I will certainly being giving it a thumbs up and hope Scopely sees it. 3 year player myself and really do not like the direction of the game. It's gotta change and change fast or else they are going to start losing players in droves. It's not really fun right now.
Upvotes on everything and every award I had the ability to give out on my account.
As a current PoH member, I thank you for reading this and amplifying the message.
Great video MobileGamer, I agree with many of the comments. I've been playing at a pretty involved level for several years and feel the game has gone down a bad path over the last year or so. We as players no longer have agency. With the power creep so aggressive, by the time I can usually get a character high enough to be relevant, new teams are introduced that completely remove the value of that character. I'm spending more and more time per day to stay relevant. Half of our alliance has quite the game, which is telling of direction along with very helpful when many of the challenges have become alliance based. Lastly, I used to be a pay to play and the pricing structure has just gotten so aggressive that I can't rationalize spending money on a declining game. Thanks for all the great content and sorry to be so long winded!
That part about playing because of friendships in the alliance really hit home. I’ve been struggling with quitting for some time now. I would just feel bad about leaving them, but I lost the love of this game about 4 months back.
Just quit already.
I was the same. I finally bit the bullet two weeks ago and broke the news to my alliance that I was quitting. 3 people quit too because they were just waiting for someone else to be the first.
@@scottwagner2566 I'm glad you had the courage.
You can stay in discord with them? That's what I did. But you should definitely quit, and I guarantee they understand.

This is the best video I’ve watched in awhile. I love that people are speaking up. Everyone feels the same way and scopely doesn’t care. I was cheering the entire time, especially when he said they weren’t funding scopely anymore.
Fucking hell fella if that’s you in your profile picture we should send you to have a chat with Scopely
Absolutely agree.
@@CaseyF-mk1ff lol I still call my mom to open jars for me. Looks can be deceiving…
My biggest gripe is the alliance milestones. No one wants to miss out on things because they couldn’t get 23 other members of their alliance to jump on board and contribute. It just feels bad. Has broken up countless alliances and every time that happens, at least a few players quit.
Should they not have Alliance Milestones?
For me, I just stopped caring. The game requires me to log in in specific times, look at the store, then bugger off. And most of the time for me, I get characters that are useless or got at 7. Not to mention the requirement of nearly useless characters to get characters or scourges getting some sort of stealth buffing. And frankly, I feel relieved.
Samezies
I got 7 red stars for gravitanioum or whatever he’s called he’s trash 😂
I hope that Scopely finally recognizes what they're doing.... but i really feel like they've known for a while and have been trying to cash in until the dam breaks, and breaking has begun.
Nah, Tadano Mac is supporting scopely's paycheck
I quit last week after a combination of wanting to improve my mental health and also steadily losing interest and it caused a landslide in my alliance, resulting in the whole thing closing down. Those who still wanted to play went super casual, but I can honestly say I don't miss it at all.
My alliance is a group that has mostly been together for the better part of the last year and a half. Over the last 2 months, we've lost 7 members, 5 of which were long time members or captains, all due to burnout and the game being more of a job than a fun pasttime with friends.
Facts..well put
Damn. Been humping for this game since 2018 that tells me I REALLY need a break.
Pretty much exactly how I've been feeling the last few months. Burnout, power creep and the fact that everything team I ever levelled gets replaced by one new character. Each day is going through the motions. I love the game, just wish Scopely showed that same love to the game to. It feels like they just want to make some quick cash. Everything they do is half-assed and rather than fix things or balance existing characters, they just add 5 more, call it a team and tell people you need to buy this.
It's just too much.
When Apocalypse was first announced and they called it, The Age of Apocalypse, I joked that it was really just a euphemism for Scopley trying to kill the game. As this year has progressed, I can't help but revisit that thought. Price tags have gotten higher and higher, time invested value is being reduced immensely on events to where you are now getting the bare minimum to unlock anything. The economy has crashed to a near stand still in some areas. They've literally cut off support to the game in multiple parts of the world so they can no longer play and massive amounts of people are quitting on top of that. How does all that happening not sound like "The Age of Apocalypse"?
Alliance leader here: quitting is discussed daily in my alliance. If my alliance dies I’m done. Please keep posting about people quitting. Scopely needs to realize what they actually did.
I agree..we've lost and gained many cool players in out alliance..some just wanna be casual..some super serious..but if our alliance ever break up..I'm done as well..good luck to your alliance
@@jefflorenzen6913 Same for me. Not a leader but 3rd string war captain when the others get busy. I feel like I've such an investment in the alliance I've been with since I could get into them. So much time and effort to build my roster and finally clearing DD4 after years of work with minimal spending. And here I am now with 10 characters all favorited to focus on building. I'm dry on gold and training mats constantly and I feel like I'm not able to do anything anymore until they're built up. I often find myself just rerunning DD2 over and over again just to feel like I'm sorta playing. At least there I can sit back and enjoy the admittedly good combat animations on most toons.
Got off track there but I feel if my alliance were to fully dissipate, I'd feel like there's nothing more in the game for me. I hate solo pvp, personally but I enjoy the team effort of war and the strategy needed to tackle it. CC is just a matter of throwing in CC teams and kicking back, same for arena and it's just boring.
I closed our alliance down last week because of the amount of people quitting and the burn out, joined a casual alliance but probably deleting the game this weekend.
The game has felt like a chore for at least a year now. Many from my alliance have quit recently, weve been together since alliances were first introduced but now feel like a broken family. I myself have been planning to quit but being one of the strongest members ive felt guilty about it. I told myself that once i beat DD5 i would reassess where im at. Now that i have dormommu ive made the decision to quit after finishing my timed run. Its a damn shame that after 3 or 4 years of at least 1-2 hours daily i have to move on but this shit is just too much now
The reason in the post theorized why many stay is spot on! I'm literally only still playing because I don't want to let my alliance friends down; but I've severely cut my play time and won't spend a dime anymore. It's really only a matter of time before I don't even open the app up even once a day.
The other day I missed my first full 24hrs in over 2 years which was crazy because I never saw that happening but that's when I knew that I'm much less engaged with the game as I used to be and I'm at the point of not even doing blitz anymore 😂
Shouldn't play out of obligation.
Do them the mercy of leaving now.
When you all quit, perhaps the offers will get better.
Someone is buying these rediculous offers. If they weren't, the prices would be less.
But why are you arguing the price point of digital goods/services, that are 100% free over time?
0% of content is needed for ZIM to complete. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
Very. Simple.
@@sgenigma7814 and when all quit the game has no spenders and shuts down 😂 duh. It's like you people forget that company's have to make money or something your so naive that you think that once the spenders leave that they're going to satisfy you erm no once the company starts taking huge losses for example the big spenders leave and a game doesn't make what they want they close the game down and move onto another project and even if you're a little spender yeah little spenders don't cut it sorry to burst your bubble little spending is literally nothing to them so your point is invalid instead it's just a silly divide between people who spend and who don't which by the way 1 last thing I didn't see any one say they're buying the offers here which is another reason why your point is invalid
I am glad this has happened tbh. It will cause something to happen one way or another. The part about really only playing the game because of friends or alliance mates really hits home because this has actually been why I have continued to play. I am burnt out by many things in this game. Stuff mentioned in the video and a couple others as well. Not sure how much longer I will be playing if there aren't some major changes in the right direction made. And even then I don't know at this point.
Why are you playing a game that's not fun or spending your time in an obligatory manner on entertainment you don't find entertaining? 🤔🕵🏾
Do your Alliance the mercy of quitting now. You're delaying the inevitable.
They don't need you, they'll be okay and the game will be just fine after you're gone. ✌🏾
I had been considering leaving for a while even though it was fun, since it felt harder and harder to keep up with high-level event requirements without spending real money (while simultaneously trying to better gear my Doom II raid teams (without spending money).
The final decision happened by chance. My phone was having issues and broke down shortly after unlocking Rogue in the horseman event. It took longer than expected to get my replacement phone and by the time i got the replacement i realized "I can't do this any more". I truly understood the amount of time and dedication i was having to put into a game, often begrudgingly, by getting that time back. And I was free to do so many other things and live my life. That was when i was done. I have considered going back casually at times but it's literally not worth it. I wouldn't be able to do any of the new stuff without paying, and Doom raids were the only other progression i had left to focus on and I can't do that solo or casually. So, I'm free.
Edit: I specifically couldn't keep up with new high level event requirements without real money because i had only been playing about a year and a half so i wasn't sitting on a mountain of unused resources to be able to max out full teams of brand new characters that were also required for the next event. That was a deliberately terrible business model choice by Scopely on that one.
It's almost as if scopley has no idea how gaming and player bases work. They see players starting to quit because of their poor programming and poor pricing, so their answer to this is "We have to raise the prices to accommodate for the players that left!" Which in turn makes more players leave and they jack the prices up again trying to accommodate for those that left. It's a vicious cycle that ends with the downfall of one of the best mobile games ever released. I never thought I would say these words... I miss foxnext..
I was playing and I left and I play marvel snap now. It is so much better!!! Never been happier and its more f2p friendly.
I think the weirdest thing about the "game being in a weird place" is that it seems like these are the same things that we were talking about when I quit almost 18 months ago.
As others have said; I’m a heavy spender and I am struggling to find enjoyment, or even a reason to play.
I will be done spending by the end of the year, and it’s a high likelihood that I’ll be done with the game entirely. The game feels like it fights with me.
Thank you for the video.
Why by the end of the year? Why not now?
@@Bankai2169 two reasons. 1.) I’m holding out hope for Nightcrawler. And more importantly 2.) I’ve invested so much into Apocolypse I feel the need to finish it strong.

I'm a alliance leader I've had so many good player's quit the game this year getting harder to recruit aswell seriously considering quitting the game myself
I have quitted exactly a year ago, just saw this video. My reasons were: too much time invested, devaluating of your heroes with every new team, crazy prices, bugs n bugs, game felt like a 2nd job....so yeah, that was A YEAR AGO!!! Nothing changed ffs, mad respect for everyone still trying to spend time in that game, mad respect indeed!
I am 99.9% F2P.
Just for funsies, I counted the number of Offers the other night. It was 104.
The Offers are the Game.
Was that including the webstore offers as well? Can't forget those.
The best part is seeing offers for 50/60/70 bucks and saying its 70% off or something and it's an incredible offer 🤣🤣🤣 mental
@@greg882 what's mental is that SOMEONE is buying.
If they weren't the prices wouldn't be so rediculous.
It pains me to see what Scopley is doing to the game. I LOVE all things Marvel. It is the staple of my childhood and something that brought my huge family of 8 together. I played for a little over three years with Prophets of the Unknown. I finally had to quit because the time required to play as a primarily F2P and my job and being a leader in my church and being married was obscene. My marriage, health and mental well-being were all suffering…and it goes beyond just “feeling bad” because of a poor release method, or FOMO. Scopley has created a beast fueled by dependency, over spending, egregious time sinks…and the kicker is the initial draw, the lure, is nostalgia. Scopley has completely corrupted something that was so fun, pure, and enjoyable. I still feel bad about leaving my alliance in July and I watch videos occasionally to show support for your channel (because you MG, became part of my daily life as well).
Ultimately a much longer post than I intended, but I had to say it. Even now, while my life has been getting better since I quit MSF, part of me is really sad because I know that I will never be able to play this game again. Legitimately sad, like heavy heart-wet eyes-sad.
If you read this MG, thank you for reading it. And thank you to anyone else who reads this lengthy comment! Be well, take care, and don’t let MSF take your happiness.
I quit this game about 3 months ago, which was about 2 months after I beat DD4 for the second time. My reason for quitting was simple, the power creep was getting way to out of hand, and it felt like if you decided not to buy 1 character you would fall behind massively. I loved this game, but the monetisation is killing it.

@@sgenigma7814 no offence mate, but ur in denial if u think this game is in a healthy state.

It was the power creep and aggressive monetisation, you can't say it isn't a problem
End game player was 20+m TCP I quit and deleted my account. I don't ever want to even try to convince myself to come back. The fact that we went an entire year with 90% of the characters they added not farmable was the building pressure that broke me. Scopely has no interest in doing anything other than making money. They don't have any interest in making their players happy.
i went from blitz timers to forgetting to login most days.
I'm just loving Marvel Snap. That says everything. Even thinking in investing, as it is even cheaper. and creating content again!
Plus it has a season pass that is both relatively cheap and rewarding
Scopely: we dont care. We still have our biggest supporter tadano mac paying to play our game
I thought that Tadano Mac JAPAN funded MSF by himself.
I tried to claim the free power cores 3 days ago. I lost access to my account. CS just tell me to keep requesting reset password. Which I have done but no code email arrive. I wish I could play but can not.
I uninstalled the game last night after seeing the ZIM offers and seeing the writing on the wall that this is the new business model they have apparently adopted. I was a moderate spender and was a 1500+ day player. There has been problems for some time now and they seem to just be getting worse. I kept playing mainly for my alliance as I had a 27mil TCP and had the top roster in the alliance, I felt they deserved me trying to hang on and not feel abandoned buy someone that was there every day and doing what was needed to move everyone forward and so did the other 23 members.
It just seems like the player base is standing on the tracks waiting for Scopely to stop the train but they are showing no intention of doing so. Now people are worried and are getting off the tracks and in turn may never trust that the train will stop for them when they find themselves in the same place time and time again.
Can anything be done about it now or is that train going too fast for too long to stop in time or is everyone just stepping off and walking away before any damage is done.
7. Have full cellular service/reception and/or super high speed Internet and game still doesn’t work
I was in an amazing alliance with people I chatted with and grew friendships with on Discord. Unfortunately, the state of the game had me quit in February. Its sad to see the game has only gotten worse since then.
Playing since beta .
What has me considering is the fact I was breezing through doom skill 1 and 2 until I maxed out my Raid skill characters to lvl 90 , 6rs , gear 16 to every raid and character and some how the nodes are harder . Bio as well. I feel like I put everything into raid characters to make them the best because it’s a daily grind . Instead I feel punished and defeated . The carrot at the end of the stick is gone , the fun is gone , it’s core till your poor .
Another "Power Entity" that has totally forgottten how it got it's "Power"...THE PLAYERS. We made you and we can just as easily BREAK you. You think on that, Scopley, because it's the absolute truth. \m/
I already quit. Just look at your life before you started the game. Nothing to worry about
This is an accumulation of the same issues for years. I've personally become f2p and have only spent once in months. These issues should have been taken seriously a long time ago in order to fix them. Now Scopely is so entrenched in what it's done and the game has evolved so much to match that, that I don't think there's anything Scopely can do now to course correct.
Very unfortunate.
I had taken a break about a year ago because of some personal life circumstances but got back into it this summer. It’s been so hard to catch up and with the constant stream and the constant never relenting event requirements it has not been fun at all. I use to really enjoy this game and I love Marvel. But find myself defaulting to other games right now because this feels more like work than fun. Probably about done myself.
Try marvel snap it's more close to having marvel related hobby than msf 😂
Frankly, the best thing that could happen to this game is to fail financially and scopely taking a big economical loss.
For us the costumers there are plenty of other games in the market, and many with similar gameplay or marvel themed. And in the other hand would be a good cautionary tale for the companies that greed leads to failure.
They’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s all that matters to them.
The game has been a massive business success and they Will do exactly the same.
@@jspettifer indeed they a good amount of money and the game is profitable. However, the point is that instead of maintaining the revenue or increasing it, they are taking bad decisions and killing the golden goose. So, deapite they'll continue having revenue, how much money they will be NOT making? Will any other important IP be granted to scopely? Will people see what is going on in this game and decide not to enter to play other scopely games? Will this give disney as bad reputation and to prevent damage to their IP will take measures?
Quit the game 2 weeks ago. Got tired of all the grind events, and feeling the need to keep up with the alliance and all events (especially also the web events) just got too much. And I played for 1670 days but it took surprisingly little effort the break off this addiction/habit.
It is definitely a demanding game! I'm on it morning...work..dinner..bed time..lol. I still love it but I know many in our alliance getting tired of all the things u gotta do each day
Yeah that's also a big flaw, you can't have a weekend off or a busy day in the office without screwing over your alliance mates.
The changes made this patch with zim release, gear, and red star along with the changes to nakias camp release are all step in the wrong direction. These the expectations going forward? 🤷♂️
I quit the game about 8 months ago for the reasons listed. I come back to your content because I enjoy it, despite not playing. It’s a shame the developers have not fixed the game because at one point it was really enjoyable. Hope it gets better because I would the consider going back.
A lot of good points made here. However, I'd question the point that Arena and Crucible are broken. The Arena meta is more interesting and varied right now than it's been for probably over a year. Crucible is probably my favourite game mode at the moment. Other than that, bang on the money.
Tangled web, unlimited X-Men makes crucible not enjoyable.
As a 1109 day player who use to be in one of the top poh alliances i stepped back few months ago. Now on the verge of quitting. So sad game use to be so fun…
I quit 2 weeks ago had to take a break and it is amazing to see how much spare time you get from not playing this ‘job’ as it is not a game anymore unfortunately. Realising that the only reason I was logging in was for my alliance mates not for my enjoyment anymore
Used to play in the POH alliances, and quit about a year ago. From what I’ve seen over the past year, I’m very happy with my decision
Had to quit a year ago. Felt like it took up so much of my time/life. Started to argue with alliance mates for not completing things (and then with me), spending tons of money, etc. Once i stopped, it felt like I came out of a fog and could breathe again.
Was there a new update my game won’t load
I quit about 2 months ago and have not looked back. It sucks to see the same issues not just getting worse, but getting worse so QUICKLY. Start by taking a break for a day. And then 2 days. And then slowly realize you may enjoy it less than you thought. And then realize that one or 2 days of not being in the game have completely screwed you over because it's all or nothing. And now you are free to never go back.
I quit months ago, was apart of top 3-10 alliances in the game. Quitting this game was the best thing I’ve done in terms of gaming. So much time back in my life and way less stressful.
I stopped spending on the game about a year ago. I've kept playing and had fun in my new, more casual alliance. I play for less than 30 mins a day and am happy with it. I can see where "serious" players would be over it.
Truth. The point about new characters being OP is spot on. You have characters now who at 3 yellow level 90 are more powerful that an old character at level 90 5 yellow 5 red
I can no longer login since it says there's an error connecting to fb. I try and it crashes the game, kicking me back to my alt account. Guess I'm done with the game! Whoopie!
I quit because I moved and so I missed out of a few characters and I knew that I'd never recover because the meta is so up to date and they take forever to re-release characters and I figured what's the point?
All the issues with Scopley's MSF is the same exact issues we had with Scopley's WWE Champions.
I finished DD5 and now got nothing to work towards in the next few months. Seriously debating whether to log in each day
I played from launch until almost exactly a year ago and I finally ripped the band-aid off and quit. Honestly it was nice to have my life back and not checking the time constantly to hit my attacks and whatnot. I missed what the game was early on but it devolved into something toxic and quit honestly more of a chore than fun.
I am frustrated so much by the current blitz glitches that basically doesn’t let me blitz during a blitz event that lets you get the highest point item for the monthly events, that plus zim release, I’m leaning towards leaving
Mmm, I dunno. Im a fairly new player, only like 3.5-4 months in. I’m enjoying the game a lot. My biggest thing was I joined the game to get Rogue… but couldn’t. But I’ve had good luck with the Horseman orbs and have both Morgan and Rogue now. Neither 7 stars, but they don’t have to be. As a long time Marvel fan from the 90’s, I’m excited to just have access to so many different characters.
That being said, I also see the other side of the argument from the long time, heavily invested players like those that would qualify to be in an alliance like PoH. Monetary investment in a game makes it more personal, and a heavy monetary investment can make it volatile when the game starts to go off the rails for them or starts to take advantage of their spending by doing an event like ZIM. I’ve unlocked him at 2 stars and I’m good with that. But putting a $300 price tag on a character that has been clarified as only being available for a week… expecting a quick cash influx from all your spenders who are completionists… pretty dirty. I can understand why the big alliances are pissed but at the same time, it isn’t directly affecting me because I don’t care if all my characters are maxed out or not. Atleast rn now anyway. This game is a pastime and I only invest when I’m on and specifically wanting a character or something.
You can call it a hobby all you want, but if you say what’s your spending level for a MOBILE game, you are the problem! You don’t pay to play, you pay to win. This is not gaming. Also how can you cry about teams when you know some toons like ikaris needed nerfs and y’all say nothing?
Did anyone received the rewards that scopely promised for the War that was Cancelled?
I did
I catch videos occasionally to see if anything has gotten better. I stopped playing because the game was requiring too much time. The teams I worked so hard to build ended up next to useless. Without deep pockets I couldn't keep up with the spend spend if you want those shards to the latest kings and queens of power creep.
Now waiting for Tadano Mac Japan and his type to join the walk out. Then each toon to unlock is $200 for two stars. Can't wait!
Bro he's at like 5 million on the t5 auction event. He ain't going nowhere.
Yeah, Tadano ain't going anywhere. That moron will spend thousands for a single character shard
@@ass4sale2 Well given how much money he threw in he can't leave the pot.
Wow POH is disbanding. I finally quit at least 6 months ago and could not be happier. I check in on content here and there cuz I really like the CC s an still want to support but man it's literally the same issues from when I was playing. NOTHINGS CHANGED. I'll I got to say at this point Snap is so much fun it's refreshing to just pick up play without worrying about the horrible screen time msf had. Hope it gets better cuz it was a good game
I was scrolling youtube and noticed this video. I quit 3 weeks ago and haven't and thought of it until I saw this post. 4 and a half years and countless money.
I’m just over a year in and am FTP. The game was stopped and killed for me trying to get any character to gear tier 16. Dimensions is just a chore and I have to be careful who I level up now due to resources. So I level up who I need, not who I want. Omega Red seems unattainable due to ultimately needing Kree Minions on 5 stars, which is a slow and boring process.
Scopley really needs to address this, because the typical no response they usually do will just throw gasoline on the already huge fire.
one other problem is the rng when u try to farm a campaign node.. i spend lots of energy and cores to take like 1 or 2 fragments or shards, specially when u need like 10 to finish… omg where is the joy in that..? sorry for my english is not the best, just like the game 😅
I’m waiting to see if we’re getting any event energy or if it’s just going to be core only.
I don't know a ton about the Top Alliances but I know PoH is one of them so this is a spicy thing to happen.
I've been a light spender since starting the game, currently going on 16 mil tcp and I've got one foot out the door. I have and do enjoy the game, at least some of the time, but I'm annoyed by many of the very things mentioned in this post and not sure how much longer I'll play. In fact it is due largely to the friendship with my fellow alliance members that I've stayed the last few months
I watched this and feel the same way. Hopefully it starts a trend. Im quitting today after 4 years and way to much of my life invested!
Very surprise to see that the post is still on Reddit. Normally mods are deleting "quitting posts"
I have been playing for 1000 days. I like the good. Am 100% F2P. But over the last few months its been crazy the time I have to put into it just to take part in the events to get the new toons. I didn't get a full gamma team. Cuz I didn't blitz every 2 hours for 4 days straight. Just get the point. The time I need to be playing just to unlock the new toons is crazy. And I think about quitting all the time.
Many of the reasons addressed are the same as why I uninstalled the game. Scopley clearly does not care about its players nor the health of their game. Time to move on.
For me its apocalypse who I'll not get for years at this point already also it's these month long events I keep being unable to get 3/4th the way through.
Yeah I'm up there with those reasons. Just the time to play the game. Like I don't log in for a day, and they'll punish you for a whole week. I complained about quality of life and when they added simulated battles in raids and auto dailies completed I was like yes! But yeah you don't log on for whatever the reasons are, and it takes you a week to get back those benefits.
I miss FoxNext - I was never pressured by them to unlock and build characters the way I am now. The worst thing is that my 3 year old roster has been devalued and there is no way for me to recoop my loss. Not time or resource wasted, mind you, but a lot of my tier 16 characters have real little to no value at all in the grand scheme that is Scopely.
Homie is giving me alot to think about. He is sooooooo spot on.
27m 1500 day player. The game is super unhealthy for the fact of HAVING to make the game part of your morning AND night time routine. Never mind all the other nonsense which includes specific psychological tactics to get people to spend. The game feels more like a chore and something farming my time instead an enjoyable product. It’s been years and they still won’t get their stuff together. They know how to make the game fun and choose not to. Scopely has ruined this great game that I used to love.
I’m curious to see if PoH calling quits will create a Domino Effect with some of the other Top Alliances in the game.
Lately I’ve just been playing until I run into a bug then I get off. It usually takes less than a couple minutes
It's a dark day for MSF when one of the top alliances calls it quits en masse. I completely understand the sentiment.
Best if luck to all of them.
I don't think they're quitting though. I think some of them might but my guess is they just disperse to other kraken alliances and just keep on truckin.
I recently quit after about 2 years of play...I was about 15M TCP...my main reason was the time sink but the ridiculous difficulty of the new content state of the meta and lack of player agency just became unfun on any level...when it becomes a chore then it's time to move on
I quit last week. Feels great
I agree with all that was said 100% I left the game a few months ago because I was feeling exactly the same. I saw the writing on the wall and didn't want to waste my time anymore. First I just stopped spending, and then I did the most important thing for me... I stopped giving Scopely/MSF my time. As much as I loved the alliances I was with and the time we all spent playing this game, it just became too much to deal with when problems would always pop up and Scopely would basically put us all in a position to spend just to stay on track. Not worth it in my opinion. Hopefully they make changes for the better, but as for me I won't be going back to the game.
This pretty much sums up why I quit playing, excluding the spending issue. I was F2P and those issues sum up exactly why I left. I didn't have the time, or patience to keep playing and the very slow rate of progress that F2Ps are relegated to. The game became overly repetitive and left no room for individual strategy. I had to accept that I wouldn't be able to recruit new toons for 6 months or more and even then I also had to accept that it'd be a very long time before they'd be leveled a useful level because mat and gear took too long to aquire.
Well, all of those are reasons I quit the game nearly a year ago. And sadly, things haven't gotten better since.
I quit aboyt a year ago after the Thanksgiving event. Crazy that the game is still predatory, yet people are still playing. Uninstall and you won't miss it after a week.
I started a new job in July. Shortly after, the alliance I was in kicked me out for not participating enough which was fine because I was thinking of quitting anyways. MSF became too tedious, time consuming, and boring. Not to mention that I was working 10+ hours a day to provide for myself and my family. So how is it feasible to continue playing a game that could take over an hour to play on a daily basis?
The prices would have to be negligible to make ftp go dolphin.
They were making really good money why the insane ramp up
We just had this talk in my alliance. I don't think any of us are quitting just yet...but the wallets are certainly tightening up. Just like everyone else, that Zombie Ironman...broke the dam
I'm honestly at the end of my enjoyment of this game. It feels like I can't enjoy anything else because I have to keep up with the game. I have to log in for what feels like 4-5 hours at a time after work just to catch up with everything. It sucks. War is a drag, Crucible is meh, arena is a chore, and blitz is a clock that rings every 2 hours. And this mess with ZIM is kind of the last straw.
They dont keep the events around long enough... i missed out on zim... that sucks... was the only Halloween event and it went by in like 2 days... or some shit like that...
Pretty much casual player, Apocalypse definitely broke the world.
The only good thing that happened is that I got 180 ZIM shards and now all my resources will definitely get funneled on that unit, because the game wants me to.
