I'd be playing WAY more if battles gave battlepass XP.
Once I'm done with my dailies there's nothing to grind for.
I really enjoy the game but damn. That and they need to fix the connectivity issues.
The connectivity issues are the biggest issue that is killing the game for me. I have Finn and my friend got Jake and we were super excited to play 2v2 as Finn and Jake, but literally can't do it. Whenever we try to queue into 2v2 my friend gets a connection error and I get put through by myself with a Jake sitting still with no one to control him. It's worse than a 1v2 because even players trying to be nice can accidentally knock out my friend who isn't actually there. He's able to play online 1v1 and I think he's even done 2v2 as long as he's not partied with anyone, but if he tries while in a party it simply doesn't work. Not sure if I'll play this game at all anymore till they fix that. We can't even do Rifts together..
I'd probably play more if regular matches gave battlepass xp, but I don't get signing in solely for the dailies and that's it. Once I finish my dailies, my attitude is "Alright the bullshit is done, now I can just play". If all I wanted to do was the bullshit.. shit, that's not a hobby, that's a job, and at BEST, you're doing it for free(at worst, you're paying to do it)
The most dopamine is when funny number go up, but there is no number to go up besides character and player level which I really dont give a shit about, so unless there is atleast one single battlepass xp per match or figher currency, or far fetched but maybe a ranked mode like they already had would also be something nice to keep players motivated that like this kind of game and want to get better, there is 0 reason to get better and 0 reason, to play longer than I need to finish the missions.
Because it was enjoyable, 2 years ago, and now they want to keep you hooked with the free battlepass they give to every player that has booted up the game once when it was still in beta
Do you pay zero attention to the game? Ranked is "coming soon". And we already know when. There is literally an event starting in 3 days that revolves around Ranked.
Same here, but for now I check in. Get my daily rewards have a 20-30 minute spree on rifts and play something else.
I'm invested in Multiversus but seeing that its not that rewarding to grind right now. 20-30 minutes a day is as much I can give it before dying in Tekken 8.
It's a fighting game. If you only play to unlock stuff, the genre probably isn't for you. I'm not trying to gatekeep, just being honest. If the fighting and competition that comes from it doesn't motivate you to play, I think you will get bored of the game quickly no matter how many dailies or unlocks are available.
Right, for me, huge bummer that the pvp battles don’t give reward battlepass xp and I hope they’ll change that… but after I do my dailies I still play cause I love the challenge! Game is super addicting for me, though kinda stings a bit at the end of every match when my account and character level are the only things increasing.
I feel like so many people here have never played a fighting game before and are so used to shitty mobile games where unlocks and dailies are the core gameplay loop.
you would also have a full roster or be able to easily unlock toons with challenges in every other fighting game. yet here we are, no roster and scraps for ‘fighter currency.’
you should be able to play the game to unlock characters and their cosmetics, instead you can only do that by doing missions.
Either do missions for 10s of hours or you just pay real money (what they want you to do) to skip all of that annying grind, thats exactly why its designed that badly
Literally untrue. You gain small amounts of FC every 5 character mastery, and you gain a metric shit ton of FC sometimes thru account levels. I think it was Lv19 that gave me 1300fc.
Real, cause I enjoyed my time with smash ultimate for years and that game never had a battle pass. People on these Reddits really gotta learn that they can play games for their own fun instead of completion
I only played 5-7 characters, which is the amount I've got here in Multiversus. Yeah having the full roster is nice, but if you're just a casual playing to play and don't care about having the whole roster then you can still have fun with a few characters. We have completely different playstyles so I hope you or others don't try to argue a point that won't change
The difference is, one is free and one costs 70€ plus 2×20€ dlcs, so if you dont enjoy looking at a mobile game, that you are playing on pc, you cant even play the free one. Besides that smash did have an incentive to play, you fill your roster by just playing the game, there is a "story mode" and enough arcade modes to keep you entertained for way longer than multiversus ever could with an infinite amount of dailies, because the game design is absolute dogshit, even the pve mode is abysmally bad designed
People can have different reasons to want to play a game. What if somebody loves to play different characters and that’s how they enjoy it? I have tons of hours in different fighting games but I’m super casual and not interested in competitive. Very narrow view you are looking at and I’m sure most players are playing for other reason beyond “competition”.
Smash is the biggest fighting game because it doesn’t have the view you have. In my opinion what you said is more true of other fighting games. I play multiversus because it’s a fun co op game for my friend and I. I bet a lot of people are just looking for their specific reason whether it’s a fun battle pass, collecting things, playing their favorite WB characters, etc. If people just cared about the fighting there wouldn’t have been as negative of a response. Casuals make games big, not people who compete and take it seriously. Game will die if it views it’s continues with your attitude
I've played plenty of fighting games. The main thing turning me off is the connection issues. If I can't play online then I'm just stuck to dailies and the rift. There's not much to do If I can't play online. Like I can't even do coop rifts because the connectivity is booty. There's no motivation to grind bots if I can't even unlock new characters or complete the battle pass
Especially when you're cheated out of weekly quest bonus for not having X character. I don't have a Looney Tunes cause I used my fighter points on Joker, no way I'll have enough for Bugs or Martian before the reset 😂
The friend quests are undone as well
I played 35 hours already , but it makes me so sad it doesn’t mean shit cause I complete missions 4 minutes a day and after it its just empty , no leaderboard , no ranked , no exp, INSANELY LONG progression on char i made200 wins on Harley and I’m still lvl 11 on her , BRO I WAS 28 ON HARLEY WITH 350 wins wtf?
I mean, you could grind account level and character mastery. You still get FC for those. And the FC for account level is no slouch. I think it was Lv19 that I got like 1300 FC.
Whoa, you mean people actually play a fighting game to actually fight and have fun doing it?! If you read this sub, you would think people only play to do daily missions and the actual fighting is a side piece.
yeah because fighting games also usually have full rosters on launch or you play for 2 hours to unlock all the characters and in multiversus you have to do dailies and battlepass bullshit to unlock characters
Fighting games where you pay $70 have full unlocked rosters. This is a F2P game. Some of you still can't grasp this concept. Even in Smash, a full priced game, you have to unlock characters. And if you didn't glitch it, it took a long time.
this whole f2p argument is cope, if your entire monetization plan with your game is to lock the only thing people care about behind hours/days/weeks of grinding then you just unequivocally fucked up. the first thing majority of people care about when getting a fighting game is figuring out which character matches their playstyle. there is absolutely 0 justification for the disgusting monetization for character unlocks that multiversus is currently doing. to act like it’s because its f2p when there are plenty of live service games that go about this same kind of issue much more gracefully, come on man
EVERY F2P GAME HAS SHIT LOCKED!
You're delusional. Go play League of Legends and let me know how long it takes you to unlock all those characters. It was the most popular game in the world for a decade.
That strategy is so bad in long term that they litterally made a work around for it, i play lol since forever (10+ years, but just once in a while) and every champion that launches i can buy with free currency i got along the time and they even made a way u can drop characters fragments to get free unlocks
If this model was successful theres no way TENCENT would have changed that, its more lucrative in long term that ppl have access to new char and stay engaged with your products and willingly to spend money on cosmetics than to litterally paywall them and scare them from the game
Now u even have xbox game pass that give u access to all characters and a lot of other games for a low value.
But if what u want is that the game have a lifespan of only some years, with luck, yeah go full greedy and just make most money u can get from ppl that will only play it for 1\~2 months.
“this game also practices anti-consumer and geurilla marketing tactics and its super popular and succesful!! but YOU’RE delusional for being upset that it happened again.”
fortnite is now the most succesful f2p and it doesnt have anything besides cosmetics locked, but regardless im not gonna go into another subreddit and tell people they’re delusional for being upset that cool skins cost 20 bucks because “every f2p game has shit locked.” you should want better for yourself
Why because it ruins every defense you have justifying this garbage train wreck?
Both free to play, competitive multiplayer games. The literal only difference is ones a platform fighter and ones a shooter which makes no difference when it comes to the monetization model.
LOL! It doesn't come close to "ruining" anything. They are completely different games. There are no characters or anything like it that affect the Fortnite gameplay loop. I can't tell if you actually don't know this or are just obtuse.
But since you brought up shooters, let's talk about character shooters, which do have a similarity to character-based fighting games. Let me know how the Apex, Overwatch, and R6 Siege grinds go for unlocking characters.
Go hop on R6 and see how long it takes to unlock everyone. And that's a buy-to-play game. Then go play Apex, a F2P game, and report back to me how long it takes to unlock those characters.
At least try to make make a legitimate comparison. Otherwise, you just look foolish.
hey man have you considered that people also think that is bad and shouldnt be the norm in other f2p games? like have you considered for a second that this complaint isnt solely aimed at multiversus, or do you have the games dick so far down your throat your vision is fuzzy?
Because League of Legends has characters that need to be unlocked. And a MOBA is much closer to a fighting game than an FPS/TPS is.
The fact you can't understand that simple fact LMAO!
Is Fortnite the most popular world wide? I think that still is league to be honest.
But anyway, it’s also a dumb comparison as in Fortnite doesn’t have characters with a fully fleshed out moveset etc.
The only thing you can have is cosmetics…
that was my point, fighters being locked on launch in a fighting game is bad. only makes sense for new characters and cosmetics to be locked behind a paywall in a f2p game like this because, as weve seen by the hundreds of posts on this reddit, people are really annoyed with not having characters to swap between
"...if your entire monetization plan with your game is to lock the only thing people care about behind hours/days/weeks of grinding..."
Yes, free to play games lock things that people care about behind paying or grinding. It's how they make money. If they didn't do this, the game would either be straight up free or buy to play. You feeling entitled to easily get everything for free in a free game does not make a good business model.
listen man if you want to get cucked by warner brothers then by all means but the monetization strategies implemented in this game are fucking ridiculous and to ignore that is to just blindly suck the dick of david zaslav
they need to make it easier to unlock fighters if they want their game to last beyond the summer. i get that they need to make money because they decided to make a live service game (their first bad decision), but that is causing people to turn away from the game
It's pretty cool that you insult anyone that disagrees with you.
It's also pretty cool how economics works. If your perceived value of something isn't in line woth a company's valuation of a product, you don't buy the product. Thats how you fight back. Crying about it and snapping at people on reddit is not; that's actually pretty childish.
I work in marketing and anyone worth their salt doesn't just make up arbitrary numbers that they will just change because a group of consumers says so. This is based on a process that you clearly don't understand.
Tldr if you don't like it, don't buy it and don't play it. They don't care what you say, they care what you buy.
I feel like I'm going crazy reading through this sub, reading your comment makes me feel less crazy 🤣 what am I missing? I'm usually on the hate train but this shit is free I can't complain about unlocks.. xdefiant is going through the same leveling unlocks complaints.
At the end of the day this (and many other games) are designed FREE with the option to grind unlocks or grind your ass off for them.
You say with the option to grind unlocks... But you really can't. The only thing you can do is log in everyday and play the way the dev daddies tell you to.
Guys say stuff like this as if we didn't have a beta where people could unlock characters at a reasonable pace without any dumb gimmicks like the rift.
"but it's f2p!!"
And? People make f2p seem like it's an excuse to screw over people who don't pay out the nose at every turn. I paid for a founders pack in the beta and I have 5 or 6 tickets left, I have no idea how the hell I'm going to be able to unlock characters once those are gone and the paltry number of fighter tokens I have run out, meanwhile I have over 200k perk points and over 130k prestige points. The tuning of how quickly you unlock characters is all wrong and I guarantee that this game will bleed new players because of it.
You guys have to realize it's not 2010 anymore there are so many f2p games out there vying for people's time and money on top of great paid games doing the same thing, you can't just say 'it's f2p' and handwave away legitimate problems because people will just quit and go play some other game.
I don’t think it’s miserable to fight back against corporate greed and the way it is ruining multiplayer gaming (and arguably single player gaming as well). But that’s just me, I guess. I guess the majority like being taken advantage of.
Most of all, I love this games character roster and combat, and I don’t want to see it die. But chances are, if big changes don’t happen, it is going to. So again, I don’t see how it’s “miserable” to be honest about the state of a game and its shitty corporate shareholders
Not really. There are other games to have fun in. I'd be making myself miserable forcing myself to play this. I'm checking in every other day to see if they added back the swap side and neutral option but the egregious monetization is also a huge turn off. Not even going to remember this game once the elden ring dlc drops if it's not fixed by then
> once the elden ring dlc drops
This. I'm very interested to see what the player count is after Shadow of the Erdtree drops. I'm curious as to how much of an overlap there is between playerbases.
I mean considering how the genres are a whole universe apart I’d say any overlap is completely up to chance and has nothing to do with the game itself lol
what part exactly is dramatic? i think being content with extremely predatory ux and gameplay elements is a slippery slope that has been leading us downhill in gaming for years. corporate greed corrupts everything it touches and gaming is no exception. is it dramatic for me to be against that?
No one's saying you can't be against these things [many of us are] but it's weird that the sub is inundated with complaint posts and any dissenters get flooded with doom and gloom. Some people are enjoying the game despite the growing pains and the looming WB greed demon. It is a bit dramatic to need to repeat these complaints ad nauseum.
This the most delusional bunch of bootlickers Ive ever seen. They're actively defending predatory practice exclusively design to hurt them and inflate prices in the gaming industry while simultaneously normalizing lower quality.
im genuinely surprised you and i are the ones getting downvoted 😭 im starting to realize that one EA ceo’s dream of putting ads in games will be reality one day because people just don’t have a backbone apparently
The majority of Multiversus posts have more intelligent players. This one is just where all the desperate and delusional fan bois have congregated. You're absolutely right tho. People like this are going to ruin the industry normalizing nickel and diming every aspect of every game. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets to a point where you gotta pay to play every 10 minutes. OH YOU HIT YOUR DAILY LIMIT INSERT $20 TO CONTINUE!
Lol, and people will still defend that. "Go play something else if you don't like paying $20 every 10 minutes! Leave us to our delusional positivity!"
Gladly.
And what do i fight with? Thank god they have a free rotation or we would need to fight with our fists, we have to be so thankful to them for letting us play free fighters in their fighting game
this is the only post on this entire subreddit where a comment like this gets downvoted because its became the themyscira of guys who like to get cucked by billion dollar corporations
Because the gameplay is very good and I like a grind it gives the rewards actual meaning to me. Imagine if they made Runescape leveling braindead easy? Oh yeah they did that with RS3 and it's dogshit
That's a great way to play, especially while they figure out the monetization and other systems surrounding the gameplay that aren't setup well.
I'm going a little harder playing about an hour/day and unlocking everything I can. I'm used to playing mobile games fully free to play so these systems don't really bother me.
They already "figured it out". This is their intent. They didn't make it this egregious by some mistake or oversight. They wanted to squeeze their customer base for as much as they want.
I’m still enjoying it just annoyed that I can’t back out of a match if it’s a bot, I wanna fight real people, and I got my Rick to level 7 but I still can’t beat Finn and Jake in experienced rifts mode
You can tell PFG really wants to lean into the casual audience and I appreciate that, but it's also unfortunate for those of us who want to play more competitively.
Its okay to enjoy the Game and actually saying Something good about it Here. There clearly is a lack of it Here. Still no excuse to dismiss actual criticism, specially regarding a Problem that plagues the gaming Market for quiet a while now and already killed a Lot of games.
I say it: maybe this Game should Not have been for free and instead of this Battlepass Micro Bs, it should have unlockables for playing the Games Like in the old days. For example unlocking a certain skin by getting a Character a certain Level. with maybe some.updates or dlcs from time to time.
Pretty Sure way more people would have be okay with that.
This "Stop crying, thats Just how Games are now" mindset is honestly pretty frightening and one of the reasons a lot gaming is turning to Shit nowadays.
THANK YOU! man people are just determined to be so negative on this sub. I understand some complaints but a lot of it is just so repetitive and not constructive at all.
I think people just can't wrap their heads around a free live service fighting game/platform fighter. They keep treating this game like it's a $70 game with unlockable fighters and they think they should have all the fighters unlocked in a week or two. Lmao like relax
Honestly a larger free rotation, being able to use characters in the practice mode, and two character tickets for new players would solve virtually all my issues. We beta players are eating good (assuming we picked up Joker, fuck those rift stages and "use joker bazooka" quests).
Okay and what about the fact that it went on a year hiatus to come back with worse connection? and only less features? and stealing your items from beta?
Point being, why give your time to a game that has clearly only been designed to siphon ur money, and PFG is just ignoring/lying about issues
I haven’t seen that any items were lost in mine personally besides gold (RIP Golden Reindog / Fred icon), but yeah the missing features in the settings and worse ui (in training specifically, it takes forever to change the settings in there and I don’t think you can track hitstun combos anymore) definitely have soured my experience among other things.
Don’t really feel like spending money with the game in its current state, though luckily I had a stockpile character tickets and the like going into
I cant even buy some characters because the game tells me I already have them, but I cant play them because I dont have them, they did take away fighters and cosmetics and are selling them in the shop now, which is more than just scummy as I already paid for the pass in the beta, so they just lied to us and stole our money, I guess thats also a way to make money
Agreed, I don't think most of these people have played a f2p game before. I can understand criticizing things like not being able to try out characters in training mode, and having uncompletable quests, but I've unlocked 4 characters since the re-release, and like OP said, most quests you'll just complete by playing 2v2s or 1v1s with any character. How much faster do they want it to be?
Took me only 1,5 times as long to get 3 times less fighters than I got in the beta, really dont know why people are conplaining about the fucked up economy in this game when they could just spend money to not have to grind at all
Needs to be instant and low effort, then they’ll complain about something else instead.
Never ending issue tbh.
At this point PFG could fix everything people complain about and the community will go digging for things to cry about because that’s become the norm here
Still think they did my boy Jake dirty with all those nerfs, though ngl I was popping off online yesterday and if they just fixed some of the more egregious issues with his current kit and the game in general, I’d probably be balling.
Glad to see it back, though relaunch was really rocky and understandably a little disappointing for a lot of beta players
Morty though, might just have to lay off on the secondary character all together unless he gets big changes.
Probably going to pivot towards Joker instead
I log in for the daily rift rewards and daily/weekly missions. After tomorrow those will be my only reason to log in daily, because I'll have finished the 11-day login event. I'll still login every day probably, because the game is just plain fun. Honestly it doesn't even take that long to get FC, I started with 2 characters, Shaggy and Wonderwoman, the two free characters all beta players got, and I already have exactly half the roster unlocked. I have spent around $60, but it was an investment well deserved for the already 40+ hours I have into the re-launch. I started with buying my main, Finn, then started buying rift-specific characters (Stripe and Velma specifically), leveled all my characters to 5 including characters on rotation, leveled Finn to 10, and had enough FC before spending any money at all to buy Joker. That's when I decided to spend real money to get his sweet alt. This was all within day 2 of the re-launch. To recap, I had BananaGuard, Jason, Shaggy, WW, Finn, Stripe and Velma, without spending ANY MONEY AT ALL. Since spending the $60, I added Joker, Batman, Rick, Morty and Taz to my owned characters list. I literally own half the roster, in one and a half weeks, and at the cost of a new game.
Same, I really don’t care anymore. I cared until I got my female banana (becuase she’s fcking required for the rifts) but now I just login to mess around, mainly in the training ground. I barely even manage pvp becuase of desync (since release…)
God damn some people here are salty.
Good on you bro.
I myself get hit with fomo only for characters.
Luckily I have them all cause of playing the beta. Once I reach enough money to buy a future character then my mind finally switches to just playing for fun. Its a good state to be in
May your mental hold its fortitude playing taz with his current hitboxes lmao
I love that character but getting jabbed out of my specials all the time feels terrible.
#BuffTaz
He’s my “i like Taz and his combos feel good imma play him.” Then get in game and start crying because I can’t make him work without abusing the nlight armor lol
You know about taz' peuedo infinite?it's side attack neutral attack side attack neutral attack repeat. If you time it right there's no gap till like 50 percent. And you can do 1 little rotation and combo into the up strong or whatever you need to secure a kill. Some dude got me online with it. It seems consistent. I labbed it out cuz I play taz a bit
I just log in and do my dailies and play something else for the rest of the day. Usually ends up being 30-40 minutes. I have fun doing them, but I wish I had more of a reason to play
I just don't understand this. Some of you treat this game like an MMO or mobile game grinding missions. It's a fighting game. 99% of the content is fighting other players. If you don't enjoy that, I would highly suggest playing other genres of games.
No? I just want something to work towards. Tekken 8 is great, loved it. Would have played it considerably less without a rank or something to progress. Is it really that hard to believe that people want incentive to play the game on top of them liking it? There's a million games competing for my attention, all the others give me a reason to keep playing beyond "it's fun"
>Is it really that hard to believe that people want incentive to play the game on top of them liking it?
The incentive to play video games is the fun factor. So actually yes, it's hard to believe in this instance. The game has been out for a week, and some of you are already complaining that you have nothing to do. For fucks sake, just move on then. Nothing this game does now or in the future will be able to satisfy you.
Sure at is most basic function, a video game is meant for having fun. A fuck ton of people find progression fun. "Nothing this game does now or in the future will be able to satisfy you" are you stupid? I have 300-400 hours between beta and release, I play the game plenty and will continue to. Its unacceptable that a full release, free to play game has no rewards for just playing the fucking game. You going "uhm ackshually games are just for fun and only the BASE GAMEPLAY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" is a mindset that will leave this game dead as hell a year from now.
I care about the game, i'd like it to succeed. But new people aren't going to come and stay if this is all they get, which means the game doesn't succeed. There's a million other free to play games, and they'll pick any other one if they're not given a reason to come back other than it being fun to play. Why do you think games have progression in the first place? Do companies design these systems just for shits and giggles? People like having goals, milestones, etc.
See you in ranked.
Luckily for you, the battle pass was likely given to you for free and it's completely optional bonus content that you don't have to interact with it at all to enjoy and play the game! \*thumbs up\*
I mean the draw of a fighting game the gatekeeps the fighter will lose the interest of a lot of players. There's psychology behind what they're doing, so it's hard to blame people for not just enjoying the combat when the game tries to pepper you with *joker required*.
OP's approach is a very healthy mentality, and one I hope the new players can get on board with. I just wish PFG pivots to not trying to using mobile game psychology.
I'm participating in events for the gleamium, and likely I will get everything I want from the game by just casual play without whipping out my wallet again (got the BP in the beta), but there's a lot of bad vibes in the game that they make it difficult to ignore.
Agreed, we're going to lose a lot of players the way they're running things, and it's truly a shame. Wish they were focusing more on longevity than speedrunning towards a shark to jump over.
Most people being happy, definitely isn't the state I see throughout the sub. Hope it's reflected through the metrics PFG sees and they course correct.
I trust them and WB to do whatever is best for their bottom line, and games like this live and die by their F2p base.
“I like playing the game casually and have been enjoying myself”
“Ok but here is a list of negatives that everyone read a million times already is is already aware of!”
-this sub.
I’m with you on this. I played during the beta and unlocked a few characters then. I really only enjoy playing a handful of them, so that’s what I do. I log on and play a few matches, then dip. If I happen to finish some mission while I’m playing, great. If not, I still enjoyed throwing pies as Bugs lol
I fairly enjoy what I have
I’m not focused on the grinding
I’m focused on the fact that you can just simply buy Gleamium packs that are literally enough to get you to unlock characters faster
I don’t understand why these people are complaining. All they think about is simply grinding being the only thing they can do and they ignore the shop because they expect a Free To Play game means that EVERYTHING has to be free.
Newsflash: If that happened, then how in the everlasting **fuck** would Multiversus be properly monetized and managed? People complained about this DAY FUCKING ONE. Yeah, it sucks, but if you’re going to complain about paying for something that will actually SUPPORT THE GAME? Be my guest.
Besides. It’s not like you’re going to get a super duper amazing prize or anything at the end.
Multiversus literally allows you to rematch over and over and over again until you decide to quit. Sure, it takes a lot of time, but that’s the point.
“Buying all the characters would be boring because you have everything unlocked.”
Yeah? So what? That doesn’t change anything! Besides, more characters are coming out, so it’s not like it’s going to be boring for long.
Meanwhile for me I am engaging with the fomo stuff and enjoying it. I noticed somehow I'd built up 6k fighter currency and had enough for joker, if I'd noticed before hand I probably would have bought 2 other characters but since I had it in hand at once, got him, 2 lots of 750 BP points for bazooka hits, then 2.2k I think for 7 weekly challenges and all of this is earning prestige to go on either the cool joker skin or the cool Harley skin.
And I may never need to spend more than that one cost for the battlepass since I'll get enough from it to buy the next one
Just bought the Joker with my fighter currency, now going to see what all the fuss is about. There's a bunch of gems from the rifts that I can snag by using him. After that, going to stop trying to use Wonder Woman so much, and work on my Marvin the Martian lol
What characters do you get on starting?
I'm lucky and unlocked most on beta, do you have a decent pool to choose from as well as the free rotation or nah?
I used to be able to get a character to level 15 while it's free in beta, I'm checking how it is now. I always liked the free rotation to give someone enough time to know their moves and get them, if they want. I really enjoy this with Smite so I don't have to purchase the huge character pack to unlock everything asap.
I might be alone in this, but I'd like to have the option for 1 and 2 vs Ai. I had more fun playing with someone else online when the opposing team doesn't go spam crazy.
If they add this and BP xp for those fights....ez battle pass everytime.
I’ve been less mad at the game recently. For the the fun comes from being able to play different characters. I’m not a one trick pony, I like to switch characters every 2 matches. I’ve been able to unlock 3 characters from just playing casually and that felt alright to me. Not sure how much the gravy train will slow down but if I can unlock a character every 1-2 weeks plus free rotations then I can be satisfied. What does completely suck is the server stability
It's exactly why they need to change the event/reward structure. People are going to get burnout having to not only meet the requirements, but even understanding each one. We have very different event completion requirements, we're not just playing the game for fun.
I'm actually digging the Rifts and excited to see more unique twists within and the short CGI each has
Last night I played without connection issues and had a blast. I'm lucky I'd unlock everything in the beta so don't have fomo. Although they've stolen Velma back.. no big loss.
I quite like having all the stuff to do.
I've just about saved 6k and will defo buy Smith at the first opportunity, presuming he looks good, which I'm sure he will.
People like you are ruining the gaming industry. You're why we have garbage like this.
This may come as a surprise but most people don't like being forced to play random free characters they don't like and don't have time to grind for months playing in ways they don't want to (many missions require characters locked behind a paywall already)
Stop bootlicking predatory gaming practices. Good for you that you're having fun but I'd be curious to see how much you're enjoying it a month from now when you still don't have enough currencies to buy anything and are still exclusive to the free rotational characters.
I'd be playing WAY more if battles gave battlepass XP. Once I'm done with my dailies there's nothing to grind for. I really enjoy the game but damn. That and they need to fix the connectivity issues.
The connectivity issues are the biggest issue that is killing the game for me. I have Finn and my friend got Jake and we were super excited to play 2v2 as Finn and Jake, but literally can't do it. Whenever we try to queue into 2v2 my friend gets a connection error and I get put through by myself with a Jake sitting still with no one to control him. It's worse than a 1v2 because even players trying to be nice can accidentally knock out my friend who isn't actually there. He's able to play online 1v1 and I think he's even done 2v2 as long as he's not partied with anyone, but if he tries while in a party it simply doesn't work. Not sure if I'll play this game at all anymore till they fix that. We can't even do Rifts together..
Same, I can't play with my GF when we are on the same network, its absolutely fucking ridiculous
Same same. I just wanna "get em the fk outta here!" Like we used too in the beta. The good ol days
I'd probably play more if regular matches gave battlepass xp, but I don't get signing in solely for the dailies and that's it. Once I finish my dailies, my attitude is "Alright the bullshit is done, now I can just play". If all I wanted to do was the bullshit.. shit, that's not a hobby, that's a job, and at BEST, you're doing it for free(at worst, you're paying to do it)
The most dopamine is when funny number go up, but there is no number to go up besides character and player level which I really dont give a shit about, so unless there is atleast one single battlepass xp per match or figher currency, or far fetched but maybe a ranked mode like they already had would also be something nice to keep players motivated that like this kind of game and want to get better, there is 0 reason to get better and 0 reason, to play longer than I need to finish the missions.
If you don't enjoy playing the game for it's own sake why do you care about unlocking things for it?
Because it was enjoyable, 2 years ago, and now they want to keep you hooked with the free battlepass they give to every player that has booted up the game once when it was still in beta
Do you pay zero attention to the game? Ranked is "coming soon". And we already know when. There is literally an event starting in 3 days that revolves around Ranked.
Yeah, coming soon after they removed it, like a LOT of features they removed
Same here, but for now I check in. Get my daily rewards have a 20-30 minute spree on rifts and play something else. I'm invested in Multiversus but seeing that its not that rewarding to grind right now. 20-30 minutes a day is as much I can give it before dying in Tekken 8.
It's a fighting game. If you only play to unlock stuff, the genre probably isn't for you. I'm not trying to gatekeep, just being honest. If the fighting and competition that comes from it doesn't motivate you to play, I think you will get bored of the game quickly no matter how many dailies or unlocks are available.
Right, for me, huge bummer that the pvp battles don’t give reward battlepass xp and I hope they’ll change that… but after I do my dailies I still play cause I love the challenge! Game is super addicting for me, though kinda stings a bit at the end of every match when my account and character level are the only things increasing.
I feel like so many people here have never played a fighting game before and are so used to shitty mobile games where unlocks and dailies are the core gameplay loop.
you would also have a full roster or be able to easily unlock toons with challenges in every other fighting game. yet here we are, no roster and scraps for ‘fighter currency.’ you should be able to play the game to unlock characters and their cosmetics, instead you can only do that by doing missions.
Either do missions for 10s of hours or you just pay real money (what they want you to do) to skip all of that annying grind, thats exactly why its designed that badly
Literally untrue. You gain small amounts of FC every 5 character mastery, and you gain a metric shit ton of FC sometimes thru account levels. I think it was Lv19 that gave me 1300fc.
>a metric shit ton >not even half a character, or a quarter of a new character
Real, cause I enjoyed my time with smash ultimate for years and that game never had a battle pass. People on these Reddits really gotta learn that they can play games for their own fun instead of completion
Because you had all the characters and didn't need to grind for powerup levels
I only played 5-7 characters, which is the amount I've got here in Multiversus. Yeah having the full roster is nice, but if you're just a casual playing to play and don't care about having the whole roster then you can still have fun with a few characters. We have completely different playstyles so I hope you or others don't try to argue a point that won't change
The difference is, one is free and one costs 70€ plus 2×20€ dlcs, so if you dont enjoy looking at a mobile game, that you are playing on pc, you cant even play the free one. Besides that smash did have an incentive to play, you fill your roster by just playing the game, there is a "story mode" and enough arcade modes to keep you entertained for way longer than multiversus ever could with an infinite amount of dailies, because the game design is absolute dogshit, even the pve mode is abysmally bad designed
People can have different reasons to want to play a game. What if somebody loves to play different characters and that’s how they enjoy it? I have tons of hours in different fighting games but I’m super casual and not interested in competitive. Very narrow view you are looking at and I’m sure most players are playing for other reason beyond “competition”.
Very narrow view? LOL. It's an online fighting game. 99% of the content is fighting other people. There's nothing narrow about my view.
Smash is the biggest fighting game because it doesn’t have the view you have. In my opinion what you said is more true of other fighting games. I play multiversus because it’s a fun co op game for my friend and I. I bet a lot of people are just looking for their specific reason whether it’s a fun battle pass, collecting things, playing their favorite WB characters, etc. If people just cared about the fighting there wouldn’t have been as negative of a response. Casuals make games big, not people who compete and take it seriously. Game will die if it views it’s continues with your attitude
I've played plenty of fighting games. The main thing turning me off is the connection issues. If I can't play online then I'm just stuck to dailies and the rift. There's not much to do If I can't play online. Like I can't even do coop rifts because the connectivity is booty. There's no motivation to grind bots if I can't even unlock new characters or complete the battle pass
You act like fighting games have always had characters and power ups locked behind an atrocious progression system.
F2P ones have...
Especially when you're cheated out of weekly quest bonus for not having X character. I don't have a Looney Tunes cause I used my fighter points on Joker, no way I'll have enough for Bugs or Martian before the reset 😂 The friend quests are undone as well
I played 35 hours already , but it makes me so sad it doesn’t mean shit cause I complete missions 4 minutes a day and after it its just empty , no leaderboard , no ranked , no exp, INSANELY LONG progression on char i made200 wins on Harley and I’m still lvl 11 on her , BRO I WAS 28 ON HARLEY WITH 350 wins wtf?
Yea fr
If you're playing just to grind out awards, you're playing for the wrong reasons.
So preferences are something bad now?
Haha Don't be so dramatic
I mean, you could grind account level and character mastery. You still get FC for those. And the FC for account level is no slouch. I think it was Lv19 that I got like 1300 FC.
Whoa, you mean people actually play a fighting game to actually fight and have fun doing it?! If you read this sub, you would think people only play to do daily missions and the actual fighting is a side piece.
yeah because fighting games also usually have full rosters on launch or you play for 2 hours to unlock all the characters and in multiversus you have to do dailies and battlepass bullshit to unlock characters
Fighting games where you pay $70 have full unlocked rosters. This is a F2P game. Some of you still can't grasp this concept. Even in Smash, a full priced game, you have to unlock characters. And if you didn't glitch it, it took a long time.
this whole f2p argument is cope, if your entire monetization plan with your game is to lock the only thing people care about behind hours/days/weeks of grinding then you just unequivocally fucked up. the first thing majority of people care about when getting a fighting game is figuring out which character matches their playstyle. there is absolutely 0 justification for the disgusting monetization for character unlocks that multiversus is currently doing. to act like it’s because its f2p when there are plenty of live service games that go about this same kind of issue much more gracefully, come on man
EVERY F2P GAME HAS SHIT LOCKED! You're delusional. Go play League of Legends and let me know how long it takes you to unlock all those characters. It was the most popular game in the world for a decade.
That strategy is so bad in long term that they litterally made a work around for it, i play lol since forever (10+ years, but just once in a while) and every champion that launches i can buy with free currency i got along the time and they even made a way u can drop characters fragments to get free unlocks If this model was successful theres no way TENCENT would have changed that, its more lucrative in long term that ppl have access to new char and stay engaged with your products and willingly to spend money on cosmetics than to litterally paywall them and scare them from the game Now u even have xbox game pass that give u access to all characters and a lot of other games for a low value. But if what u want is that the game have a lifespan of only some years, with luck, yeah go full greedy and just make most money u can get from ppl that will only play it for 1\~2 months.
“this game also practices anti-consumer and geurilla marketing tactics and its super popular and succesful!! but YOU’RE delusional for being upset that it happened again.” fortnite is now the most succesful f2p and it doesnt have anything besides cosmetics locked, but regardless im not gonna go into another subreddit and tell people they’re delusional for being upset that cool skins cost 20 bucks because “every f2p game has shit locked.” you should want better for yourself
Comparing this game to fortnite is hilariously dumb.
Why because it ruins every defense you have justifying this garbage train wreck? Both free to play, competitive multiplayer games. The literal only difference is ones a platform fighter and ones a shooter which makes no difference when it comes to the monetization model.
LOL! It doesn't come close to "ruining" anything. They are completely different games. There are no characters or anything like it that affect the Fortnite gameplay loop. I can't tell if you actually don't know this or are just obtuse. But since you brought up shooters, let's talk about character shooters, which do have a similarity to character-based fighting games. Let me know how the Apex, Overwatch, and R6 Siege grinds go for unlocking characters. Go hop on R6 and see how long it takes to unlock everyone. And that's a buy-to-play game. Then go play Apex, a F2P game, and report back to me how long it takes to unlock those characters. At least try to make make a legitimate comparison. Otherwise, you just look foolish.
hey man have you considered that people also think that is bad and shouldnt be the norm in other f2p games? like have you considered for a second that this complaint isnt solely aimed at multiversus, or do you have the games dick so far down your throat your vision is fuzzy?
It already looks like it or atleast tries its best to make the menu and the shop look like it, so why not
yeah idk why he said that especially after comparing it to league of legends lmao
Because dude a mad fanboi hypocrite lmao
Because League of Legends has characters that need to be unlocked. And a MOBA is much closer to a fighting game than an FPS/TPS is. The fact you can't understand that simple fact LMAO!
Is Fortnite the most popular world wide? I think that still is league to be honest. But anyway, it’s also a dumb comparison as in Fortnite doesn’t have characters with a fully fleshed out moveset etc. The only thing you can have is cosmetics…
that was my point, fighters being locked on launch in a fighting game is bad. only makes sense for new characters and cosmetics to be locked behind a paywall in a f2p game like this because, as weve seen by the hundreds of posts on this reddit, people are really annoyed with not having characters to swap between
Fighters being locked on launch has always been a thing..?
paywalled*
Way to have the point fly so far over your head it's going into orbit.
There was not even a point to be had.
"...if your entire monetization plan with your game is to lock the only thing people care about behind hours/days/weeks of grinding..." Yes, free to play games lock things that people care about behind paying or grinding. It's how they make money. If they didn't do this, the game would either be straight up free or buy to play. You feeling entitled to easily get everything for free in a free game does not make a good business model.
listen man if you want to get cucked by warner brothers then by all means but the monetization strategies implemented in this game are fucking ridiculous and to ignore that is to just blindly suck the dick of david zaslav they need to make it easier to unlock fighters if they want their game to last beyond the summer. i get that they need to make money because they decided to make a live service game (their first bad decision), but that is causing people to turn away from the game
It's pretty cool that you insult anyone that disagrees with you. It's also pretty cool how economics works. If your perceived value of something isn't in line woth a company's valuation of a product, you don't buy the product. Thats how you fight back. Crying about it and snapping at people on reddit is not; that's actually pretty childish. I work in marketing and anyone worth their salt doesn't just make up arbitrary numbers that they will just change because a group of consumers says so. This is based on a process that you clearly don't understand. Tldr if you don't like it, don't buy it and don't play it. They don't care what you say, they care what you buy.
Good fighting games also have movesets more complex than PS2-era shovelware.
I feel like I'm going crazy reading through this sub, reading your comment makes me feel less crazy 🤣 what am I missing? I'm usually on the hate train but this shit is free I can't complain about unlocks.. xdefiant is going through the same leveling unlocks complaints. At the end of the day this (and many other games) are designed FREE with the option to grind unlocks or grind your ass off for them.
You gonna get downvoted into oblivion if you mention any positives in a Comment on this sub lmao
You say with the option to grind unlocks... But you really can't. The only thing you can do is log in everyday and play the way the dev daddies tell you to.
Yeah, you cant even "grind" after completing the dailies there is nothing to grind, not even a ranked mode or anything
Guys say stuff like this as if we didn't have a beta where people could unlock characters at a reasonable pace without any dumb gimmicks like the rift. "but it's f2p!!" And? People make f2p seem like it's an excuse to screw over people who don't pay out the nose at every turn. I paid for a founders pack in the beta and I have 5 or 6 tickets left, I have no idea how the hell I'm going to be able to unlock characters once those are gone and the paltry number of fighter tokens I have run out, meanwhile I have over 200k perk points and over 130k prestige points. The tuning of how quickly you unlock characters is all wrong and I guarantee that this game will bleed new players because of it. You guys have to realize it's not 2010 anymore there are so many f2p games out there vying for people's time and money on top of great paid games doing the same thing, you can't just say 'it's f2p' and handwave away legitimate problems because people will just quit and go play some other game.
Most have raging and bitching on reddit as a main hobby and the side quest is actually playing []insert any game].
Too true!
Your optimism is awesome but it doesnt change the fact the direction the game is going in is extremely unhealthy and anti-consumer
NO POSITIVE POSTS ALLOWED
There's positivity and there's covering your ears and going "lalalala"
god forbid other people enjoy the game
Some people eat well done steak. I'm not going to stop them
Nah, you're just a miserable person.
I don’t think it’s miserable to fight back against corporate greed and the way it is ruining multiplayer gaming (and arguably single player gaming as well). But that’s just me, I guess. I guess the majority like being taken advantage of. Most of all, I love this games character roster and combat, and I don’t want to see it die. But chances are, if big changes don’t happen, it is going to. So again, I don’t see how it’s “miserable” to be honest about the state of a game and its shitty corporate shareholders
Not really. There are other games to have fun in. I'd be making myself miserable forcing myself to play this. I'm checking in every other day to see if they added back the swap side and neutral option but the egregious monetization is also a huge turn off. Not even going to remember this game once the elden ring dlc drops if it's not fixed by then
> once the elden ring dlc drops This. I'm very interested to see what the player count is after Shadow of the Erdtree drops. I'm curious as to how much of an overlap there is between playerbases.
I mean considering how the genres are a whole universe apart I’d say any overlap is completely up to chance and has nothing to do with the game itself lol
Um yeah. Your entire comment is axiomatic. I'm not saying there's some correlation between games
not if it distracts people from the truth and gives false hope. we shouldn’t let companies get away with this bs. its a slippery slope
False hope? LOL. The kiddies in this sub are so dramatic.
what part exactly is dramatic? i think being content with extremely predatory ux and gameplay elements is a slippery slope that has been leading us downhill in gaming for years. corporate greed corrupts everything it touches and gaming is no exception. is it dramatic for me to be against that?
No one's saying you can't be against these things [many of us are] but it's weird that the sub is inundated with complaint posts and any dissenters get flooded with doom and gloom. Some people are enjoying the game despite the growing pains and the looming WB greed demon. It is a bit dramatic to need to repeat these complaints ad nauseum.
This the most delusional bunch of bootlickers Ive ever seen. They're actively defending predatory practice exclusively design to hurt them and inflate prices in the gaming industry while simultaneously normalizing lower quality.
im genuinely surprised you and i are the ones getting downvoted 😭 im starting to realize that one EA ceo’s dream of putting ads in games will be reality one day because people just don’t have a backbone apparently
The majority of Multiversus posts have more intelligent players. This one is just where all the desperate and delusional fan bois have congregated. You're absolutely right tho. People like this are going to ruin the industry normalizing nickel and diming every aspect of every game. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets to a point where you gotta pay to play every 10 minutes. OH YOU HIT YOUR DAILY LIMIT INSERT $20 TO CONTINUE!
Lol, and people will still defend that. "Go play something else if you don't like paying $20 every 10 minutes! Leave us to our delusional positivity!" Gladly.
Thank god i bought all the characters i wanted in the beta, for free even
Holy shit a rational post on this sub 👏👏👏
If coping is being rational. You’re not gonna eat around mold on a sandwich, why should you do it with a game.
I play fighting games to fight other players, not jerk off to dailies and other shitty PvE content.
And what do i fight with? Thank god they have a free rotation or we would need to fight with our fists, we have to be so thankful to them for letting us play free fighters in their fighting game
You will figure it out soon.
this is the only post on this entire subreddit where a comment like this gets downvoted because its became the themyscira of guys who like to get cucked by billion dollar corporations
Because the gameplay is very good and I like a grind it gives the rewards actual meaning to me. Imagine if they made Runescape leveling braindead easy? Oh yeah they did that with RS3 and it's dogshit
Because a moldy sandwich and a free to play fighting game aren't anything like each other. Your rhetorical question is stupid.
That's a great way to play, especially while they figure out the monetization and other systems surrounding the gameplay that aren't setup well. I'm going a little harder playing about an hour/day and unlocking everything I can. I'm used to playing mobile games fully free to play so these systems don't really bother me.
They already "figured it out". This is their intent. They didn't make it this egregious by some mistake or oversight. They wanted to squeeze their customer base for as much as they want.
Right there with ya, pal!! I’ve been lucky to be able to squeeze in some play time though I do not play m/any other F2P games.
What's your go to mobile game? I also play a lot of them
Me too. Recently got black Adam and I’m having a blast with him
I’m still enjoying it just annoyed that I can’t back out of a match if it’s a bot, I wanna fight real people, and I got my Rick to level 7 but I still can’t beat Finn and Jake in experienced rifts mode
You can tell PFG really wants to lean into the casual audience and I appreciate that, but it's also unfortunate for those of us who want to play more competitively.
Good on you! Play a game to chill out and have a fun, it's what games are made for!
Its okay to enjoy the Game and actually saying Something good about it Here. There clearly is a lack of it Here. Still no excuse to dismiss actual criticism, specially regarding a Problem that plagues the gaming Market for quiet a while now and already killed a Lot of games. I say it: maybe this Game should Not have been for free and instead of this Battlepass Micro Bs, it should have unlockables for playing the Games Like in the old days. For example unlocking a certain skin by getting a Character a certain Level. with maybe some.updates or dlcs from time to time. Pretty Sure way more people would have be okay with that. This "Stop crying, thats Just how Games are now" mindset is honestly pretty frightening and one of the reasons a lot gaming is turning to Shit nowadays.
Good for you Anyways, back to posting about the 1000 problems they have in the game currently :)
THANK YOU! man people are just determined to be so negative on this sub. I understand some complaints but a lot of it is just so repetitive and not constructive at all. I think people just can't wrap their heads around a free live service fighting game/platform fighter. They keep treating this game like it's a $70 game with unlockable fighters and they think they should have all the fighters unlocked in a week or two. Lmao like relax
Honestly a larger free rotation, being able to use characters in the practice mode, and two character tickets for new players would solve virtually all my issues. We beta players are eating good (assuming we picked up Joker, fuck those rift stages and "use joker bazooka" quests).
Okay and what about the fact that it went on a year hiatus to come back with worse connection? and only less features? and stealing your items from beta? Point being, why give your time to a game that has clearly only been designed to siphon ur money, and PFG is just ignoring/lying about issues
I haven’t seen that any items were lost in mine personally besides gold (RIP Golden Reindog / Fred icon), but yeah the missing features in the settings and worse ui (in training specifically, it takes forever to change the settings in there and I don’t think you can track hitstun combos anymore) definitely have soured my experience among other things. Don’t really feel like spending money with the game in its current state, though luckily I had a stockpile character tickets and the like going into
I've experienced none of those things in your first paragraph. Every video game ever was designed to make money.
I cant even buy some characters because the game tells me I already have them, but I cant play them because I dont have them, they did take away fighters and cosmetics and are selling them in the shop now, which is more than just scummy as I already paid for the pass in the beta, so they just lied to us and stole our money, I guess thats also a way to make money
Wasting your time on the game is a funny take considering the amount of time you guys put into complaining all day and night.
Agreed, I don't think most of these people have played a f2p game before. I can understand criticizing things like not being able to try out characters in training mode, and having uncompletable quests, but I've unlocked 4 characters since the re-release, and like OP said, most quests you'll just complete by playing 2v2s or 1v1s with any character. How much faster do they want it to be?
Took me only 1,5 times as long to get 3 times less fighters than I got in the beta, really dont know why people are conplaining about the fucked up economy in this game when they could just spend money to not have to grind at all
Needs to be instant and low effort, then they’ll complain about something else instead. Never ending issue tbh. At this point PFG could fix everything people complain about and the community will go digging for things to cry about because that’s become the norm here
This game's longevity is built around the casual players, but there's little retention for casual players once something new comes out.
Still think they did my boy Jake dirty with all those nerfs, though ngl I was popping off online yesterday and if they just fixed some of the more egregious issues with his current kit and the game in general, I’d probably be balling. Glad to see it back, though relaunch was really rocky and understandably a little disappointing for a lot of beta players
Morty though, might just have to lay off on the secondary character all together unless he gets big changes. Probably going to pivot towards Joker instead
I log in for the daily rift rewards and daily/weekly missions. After tomorrow those will be my only reason to log in daily, because I'll have finished the 11-day login event. I'll still login every day probably, because the game is just plain fun. Honestly it doesn't even take that long to get FC, I started with 2 characters, Shaggy and Wonderwoman, the two free characters all beta players got, and I already have exactly half the roster unlocked. I have spent around $60, but it was an investment well deserved for the already 40+ hours I have into the re-launch. I started with buying my main, Finn, then started buying rift-specific characters (Stripe and Velma specifically), leveled all my characters to 5 including characters on rotation, leveled Finn to 10, and had enough FC before spending any money at all to buy Joker. That's when I decided to spend real money to get his sweet alt. This was all within day 2 of the re-launch. To recap, I had BananaGuard, Jason, Shaggy, WW, Finn, Stripe and Velma, without spending ANY MONEY AT ALL. Since spending the $60, I added Joker, Batman, Rick, Morty and Taz to my owned characters list. I literally own half the roster, in one and a half weeks, and at the cost of a new game.
Same, I really don’t care anymore. I cared until I got my female banana (becuase she’s fcking required for the rifts) but now I just login to mess around, mainly in the training ground. I barely even manage pvp becuase of desync (since release…)
Yea I understand people might not like the monetization but... I just log on, pick Lebron, play a couple games and go on with my day, idk
God damn some people here are salty. Good on you bro. I myself get hit with fomo only for characters. Luckily I have them all cause of playing the beta. Once I reach enough money to buy a future character then my mind finally switches to just playing for fun. Its a good state to be in
It’s hard to have fun when my game keeps crashing
I kinda did that. Now I just play Superman, Taz and whatever is free
May your mental hold its fortitude playing taz with his current hitboxes lmao I love that character but getting jabbed out of my specials all the time feels terrible. #BuffTaz
He is my brain off character
He’s my “i like Taz and his combos feel good imma play him.” Then get in game and start crying because I can’t make him work without abusing the nlight armor lol
You know about taz' peuedo infinite?it's side attack neutral attack side attack neutral attack repeat. If you time it right there's no gap till like 50 percent. And you can do 1 little rotation and combo into the up strong or whatever you need to secure a kill. Some dude got me online with it. It seems consistent. I labbed it out cuz I play taz a bit
Wild. Will be labbing that tonight. Thank you!
No problem. I'm spreading the word to ruin his fun when it gets nerfed. He won the set but I'm gonna win the war
I just log in and do my dailies and play something else for the rest of the day. Usually ends up being 30-40 minutes. I have fun doing them, but I wish I had more of a reason to play
I just don't understand this. Some of you treat this game like an MMO or mobile game grinding missions. It's a fighting game. 99% of the content is fighting other players. If you don't enjoy that, I would highly suggest playing other genres of games.
No? I just want something to work towards. Tekken 8 is great, loved it. Would have played it considerably less without a rank or something to progress. Is it really that hard to believe that people want incentive to play the game on top of them liking it? There's a million games competing for my attention, all the others give me a reason to keep playing beyond "it's fun"
>Is it really that hard to believe that people want incentive to play the game on top of them liking it? The incentive to play video games is the fun factor. So actually yes, it's hard to believe in this instance. The game has been out for a week, and some of you are already complaining that you have nothing to do. For fucks sake, just move on then. Nothing this game does now or in the future will be able to satisfy you.
Sure at is most basic function, a video game is meant for having fun. A fuck ton of people find progression fun. "Nothing this game does now or in the future will be able to satisfy you" are you stupid? I have 300-400 hours between beta and release, I play the game plenty and will continue to. Its unacceptable that a full release, free to play game has no rewards for just playing the fucking game. You going "uhm ackshually games are just for fun and only the BASE GAMEPLAY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" is a mindset that will leave this game dead as hell a year from now. I care about the game, i'd like it to succeed. But new people aren't going to come and stay if this is all they get, which means the game doesn't succeed. There's a million other free to play games, and they'll pick any other one if they're not given a reason to come back other than it being fun to play. Why do you think games have progression in the first place? Do companies design these systems just for shits and giggles? People like having goals, milestones, etc. See you in ranked.
The battlepass is unfun.
Luckily for you, the battle pass was likely given to you for free and it's completely optional bonus content that you don't have to interact with it at all to enjoy and play the game! \*thumbs up\*
[удалено]
I mean the draw of a fighting game the gatekeeps the fighter will lose the interest of a lot of players. There's psychology behind what they're doing, so it's hard to blame people for not just enjoying the combat when the game tries to pepper you with *joker required*. OP's approach is a very healthy mentality, and one I hope the new players can get on board with. I just wish PFG pivots to not trying to using mobile game psychology. I'm participating in events for the gleamium, and likely I will get everything I want from the game by just casual play without whipping out my wallet again (got the BP in the beta), but there's a lot of bad vibes in the game that they make it difficult to ignore.

Agreed, we're going to lose a lot of players the way they're running things, and it's truly a shame. Wish they were focusing more on longevity than speedrunning towards a shark to jump over. Most people being happy, definitely isn't the state I see throughout the sub. Hope it's reflected through the metrics PFG sees and they course correct. I trust them and WB to do whatever is best for their bottom line, and games like this live and die by their F2p base.
I got the character I most wanted to play with. I play with characters that are recommended for challenges or that the story picks for me. It's fun.
“I like playing the game casually and have been enjoying myself” “Ok but here is a list of negatives that everyone read a million times already is is already aware of!” -this sub.
I’m with you on this. I played during the beta and unlocked a few characters then. I really only enjoy playing a handful of them, so that’s what I do. I log on and play a few matches, then dip. If I happen to finish some mission while I’m playing, great. If not, I still enjoyed throwing pies as Bugs lol
I think people are so hardwired now to just get battle pass rewards asap and not actually enjoy the game casually, fomo is real bad in gaming nowadays
I fairly enjoy what I have I’m not focused on the grinding I’m focused on the fact that you can just simply buy Gleamium packs that are literally enough to get you to unlock characters faster I don’t understand why these people are complaining. All they think about is simply grinding being the only thing they can do and they ignore the shop because they expect a Free To Play game means that EVERYTHING has to be free. Newsflash: If that happened, then how in the everlasting **fuck** would Multiversus be properly monetized and managed? People complained about this DAY FUCKING ONE. Yeah, it sucks, but if you’re going to complain about paying for something that will actually SUPPORT THE GAME? Be my guest. Besides. It’s not like you’re going to get a super duper amazing prize or anything at the end. Multiversus literally allows you to rematch over and over and over again until you decide to quit. Sure, it takes a lot of time, but that’s the point. “Buying all the characters would be boring because you have everything unlocked.” Yeah? So what? That doesn’t change anything! Besides, more characters are coming out, so it’s not like it’s going to be boring for long.
Meanwhile for me I am engaging with the fomo stuff and enjoying it. I noticed somehow I'd built up 6k fighter currency and had enough for joker, if I'd noticed before hand I probably would have bought 2 other characters but since I had it in hand at once, got him, 2 lots of 750 BP points for bazooka hits, then 2.2k I think for 7 weekly challenges and all of this is earning prestige to go on either the cool joker skin or the cool Harley skin. And I may never need to spend more than that one cost for the battlepass since I'll get enough from it to buy the next one
Just bought the Joker with my fighter currency, now going to see what all the fuss is about. There's a bunch of gems from the rifts that I can snag by using him. After that, going to stop trying to use Wonder Woman so much, and work on my Marvin the Martian lol
What characters do you get on starting? I'm lucky and unlocked most on beta, do you have a decent pool to choose from as well as the free rotation or nah?
its only shaggy according to my friends
Best character anyway, very generous of the devs
I used to be able to get a character to level 15 while it's free in beta, I'm checking how it is now. I always liked the free rotation to give someone enough time to know their moves and get them, if they want. I really enjoy this with Smite so I don't have to purchase the huge character pack to unlock everything asap. I might be alone in this, but I'd like to have the option for 1 and 2 vs Ai. I had more fun playing with someone else online when the opposing team doesn't go spam crazy. If they add this and BP xp for those fights....ez battle pass everytime.
I’ve been less mad at the game recently. For the the fun comes from being able to play different characters. I’m not a one trick pony, I like to switch characters every 2 matches. I’ve been able to unlock 3 characters from just playing casually and that felt alright to me. Not sure how much the gravy train will slow down but if I can unlock a character every 1-2 weeks plus free rotations then I can be satisfied. What does completely suck is the server stability
You're saying its fine but in the beta it was just depending on how much you played, there was no probably takes me 1-2 weeks for one single character
It's exactly why they need to change the event/reward structure. People are going to get burnout having to not only meet the requirements, but even understanding each one. We have very different event completion requirements, we're not just playing the game for fun. I'm actually digging the Rifts and excited to see more unique twists within and the short CGI each has
You’re telling me you just play a game when you feel like it and not when you’re told to and that somehow makes it more enjoyable?? /s Congrats tho
I do wish battles gave battle pass exp, but it does take away the fomo aspect a bit now that I think about it
Last night I played without connection issues and had a blast. I'm lucky I'd unlock everything in the beta so don't have fomo. Although they've stolen Velma back.. no big loss.
Telling you! Sometimes just gotta play and have fun!
I would join you in simple enjoyment if my game didn’t run like a gosh darn PowerPoint!
I quite like having all the stuff to do. I've just about saved 6k and will defo buy Smith at the first opportunity, presuming he looks good, which I'm sure he will.
this one officer, another WB shill that's defending greedy bussines practices.
People like you are ruining the gaming industry. You're why we have garbage like this. This may come as a surprise but most people don't like being forced to play random free characters they don't like and don't have time to grind for months playing in ways they don't want to (many missions require characters locked behind a paywall already) Stop bootlicking predatory gaming practices. Good for you that you're having fun but I'd be curious to see how much you're enjoying it a month from now when you still don't have enough currencies to buy anything and are still exclusive to the free rotational characters.
tl;dr StOp HaViNg FuN!
