Great video! You share some of my thoughts for it all. Its a game that needs to make money at the end of the day but gives you the option to be free to play completely. everyone will unlock every character in the game, they all become farmable. I dont understand the backlash to the new relase method. You get more shards for them now but get the free to play delayed a month or so. Before this method, we would get the free to play event and then that would be it until they became farmable. Sometimes we get some more shards in event but they would be like 3-4 star until they become farmable. This new way at worst comes when free to play you will have them 5 star most likely. With a chance of getting 100 shards. Everyone will get a 100 pull in a year or more. They happen just rarely. So you get the new characters more usable until their farmable. The game came out with better graphics, they gave us a bunch of free rewards with the first rewards in pocket dimension, they always give us lots of free stuff. The spenders fund the game and free to play need to also realize they dont need to compete agaist them, they should have some advantage if they are spending thar much. Anyone can join more relaxed alliances and not stress over it. My experience has been a blast with the campaigns going agaist ultums, the other campaigns, dark demension, surges, pocket dimensions. Is all free to play. Recently playing as the brotherhood in the orchids campaign was a blast with the 1x speed. What a game to have all that for free or to be able to play it over a year. I dont want the game to stop. I enjoy where its headed. i was like others when anhilator came out and was losing my arena rank. But they increase the power cores you get in arena so its not like your losing out from before. And of course back up now with gladiator free to play event and the increase shards from his orbs. All on how you look at the game.

@thebigpositivegeek I was playing a little over a year, I started when things were looking very positive, the game was in a very good place, why did I quit ? Because of the negative changes made to the character releases, I know some people were saying but you will get them eventually but when you are building a raid team and 2 months have gone by and you still don't have the full raid team it's unacceptable, they want people to spend but people spending 80 euros or pounds per month on this game and being classed as light spenders is unjustifiable, what would bring me back? ,I don't know, I feel like it's once bitten twice shy.

The Death Spiral (tm) has already started. They tilted too far into P2W and P2Play, and the incoming new players are disgusted with how difficult it is to get "caught up" to be able to do current stuff without having to drop a car payment every month. Game will be entirely dead in a year unless they do something drastically the opposite direction AND market it correctly. The management at Scopely/Boundless doesn't care - they don't even listen to the Envoys or player voice council anymore. They're just cashing out until the whales get bored and leave, then they'll shut it down and go off to ruin another IP. The only way to win at MSF is to just not play it. It sucks, but that's what it is. There are SO MANY great games out right now that will respect your time and money and not screw you over for not wanting to spend a grand a month. Even in the gacha space MSF is horrible. For the price of a BASE unlock for Captain Britain, you could've bought 4+ full AAA great quality games that won't require further investment to get many hours of enjoyment out of. People just forgive MSF for so much crap because it's Marvel and they like the characters.

Hey Zebrion, thanks for watching. You are correct that they are listening less and less to the Envoys and the PV. So many times when I was an Envoy we were told this is happening, we aren’t looking for your feedback. The PV only fully knew what was happening with the new Character release method when the Envoy embargo dropped. I’m really hoping they aren’t cashing out because I can actually see what a good game this could be with the right direction. I do think you are correct though a lot of what keeps this game going is the Marvel License.

Very good video my experience was that I returned in Sep 23 and quit in Feb 24 - over the 6 months I caught up to Incursion 2 and completed DD5, DD6 and Big Apoc, that all felt great but then the OML unlock happened which pissed me off and all I could see was the DD7 grind ahead. I think scopely have inadvertantly made their game farmable for opportunistic F2P who are prepared to dip in and out - if catching up is so easy I could come back in another year farm content for a few months until it gets grindy and then quit again🙂

The problem with that approach is that the only teams that actually matter are the brand new ones, and they're shifting towards making them REQUIRED, not options to pick/pass on. First with the OML unlocks requiring Cabal and OoT on short notice (they blinked at the last second and made it technically possible, though a lot of people only got the unlock because of the cheese strat with doing one node). Then Spider Society came and and upended every single game mode with their dominance, which is still an issue today. After that came the Captain Paywall fiasco, further gating off content if you didn't pay - a whole character that is STILL not F2P accessible to even START farming. They shifted the raids to REQUIRE SpS and Alpha Flight, even before those teams were even in the game, and making most of the nodes impossible with base unlocked 3 star versions. They then tried to *hide* the requirement by just designing nodes that were near impossible to complete without either having Mephisto/Odin or the brand new teams. Or having to do sack attacks on nodes and waste energy. Let's not forget the ongoing clusterf*** that is the Annihilators release - super power creep characters put in a slow drip tap over months to get base unlocks, entirely based on RNG orbs with AWFUL rates. This is nothing F2P friendly about this game if you want to even do PvE content anymore, let alone PvP. If you leave and come back, all of your old teams are no longer relevant, and if you want to catch up you better get that wallet out and start swiping.

There is very little in the way of PvE engaging gameplay left in MSF when you begin to approach the meta and hit the grind - it becomes a power creep where content is gated for spenders so stuff is automatic or impossible, so F2P who are skilled have limited opportunity to earn stuff for being skilled - you are just lucky or required to spend.

The big difference between Wow and MSF is that you can buy game time and expansions with gold, so by farming you can play F2P without losing absolutely any advantage over other players and being able to use exactly the same characters since what they can buy is cosmetic. On the other hand, MSF can buy whatever they want to take away a huge advantage in power and even having characters that you can't have.

I wonder how many pass buyers would have thought that way about the changes if it wasn’t mentioned as much though. I mean if you are a pass buyer you will still be ahead of all apart from the luckiest of F2P because you get more character shards and more resources than F2P. In fact if the character doesn’t have an unlock event it’s quite likely that the battle pass for pass buyers would unlock the character as opposed to the F2P that would still be waiting. What I’m trying to do with this video is make people understand the reasons why I think we have seen this change.

You do a great job of explaining why we have been subjected to this awful new dynamic but that doesn’t make it any more enjoyable. The incentive structure, at least for me, has shifted towards doing as little as possible by way of resource management. That’s not more engagement and it isn’t more fun. There is zero incentive to spend- spend to what end? Also, MSF doesn’t “need” to make as much money is WOW- a successful gas station doesn’t need to make as much money as Exxon Mobile. But it isn’t for me to tell them what they need to do to make money, just to tell them what’s enjoyable and engaging and what’s not- this is not.

Hey John, I’m not saying that MSF need to make as much as WoW here. Why I used WoW is because it would have worked out early days considering that it has been going for 20 years now and the Subscription price hasn’t changed. What cost per player would be to run the game no matter what the player base. I then took that figure of £150 per person per year and times that by the number of players in MSF to get my figures I worked off of. In regards to your Gas station scenario while they might not need to make as much money certainly in the UK they tend to sell the Gas or (Petrol as we call it here) at a similar price to the bigger Gas companies like Shell and BP.

Again, I do think you lay out a good explanation of why they are doing this- and I appreciate that you never say that we therefore should like it. My larger point is that this monetization strategy makes the game less enjoyable, and that as a player, I think that’s what I have to say by way of feedback. As a side note, this, like many of their other strategies, is a disincentive to spend for me personally, however I would be happy to pay a subscription fee if that was the only expense. I’m not opposed to paying for the product, but just as a single data point, most of their schemes to try to get us to spend translate to me as a challenge to get around without paying. I don’t know if I’m in the minority. In the present case, since there are fewer opportunities to grind instead of spend, the impact on my engagement with the game is to dramatically reduce it.

You say the new player change hasn't helped: we don't know that. Unless I guess it was shared with envoys. Also, that's making the bait juicier, they just need to snag new whales. I play swgoh now, and I just saw a YTer have a MSF sponsorship. I've seen MSF ads. They're pushing it and I think it's too soon to say it wasn't a success. Interestingly enough, swgoh also updated their new player experience (I'd hazard a guess before MSF, though I don't know for certain). And while some old bottlenecks are loosened, there are still some (and I'd wager that's important to the business model) - such as T4s and DPCs. It sounds like T4s can be overcome eventually (source: Duolom), I'd imagine that would take a very long time. All of that to say: I don't think that's the reason they moved on to release method change, I feel like it's a two-pronged approach. So the reality is I agree with pretty much all of what you're saying, I just don't quite jibe on this one particular point :) And with all that said, my main gripe is that the release method change is a change for the worse, everyone feels it, even whales, while the optimal increase in revenue should (in my ideal world) come from new content. Battleworld is coming, great, add some kind of optional monetization on top or alongside it. This approach of theirs unfortunately isn't unique to them, I've played plenty of mobile games that slowly turned back QoLs and a variety of positives into requiring purchases. I have more to say about the new orbs, but I"ll stop there. haha. As always, I appreciate the well thought out video.

This game is not a subscription based game. Your comparison to WoW is not even remotely close. It is an apple to orange comparison. I can play MSF without paying a penny, try playing WoW without paying. I played WoW for over 10 years. MSF looks down on the $80 US battle pass buyers. They want the $1000+ US a month, that’s is all they care about, that number is under NDA. It is why non of the content creators could talk about that. I was a $80 a month buyer, they don’t want my money anymore. Fine by me, I stopped spending.

Credit to you for the depth and analysis of all this but I do think you're comparison of MSF to WoW is worlds apart. There's no way Scopely has a team as large as Blizzard does and the server resources are going to be significantly less as well. Using WoW's numbers to support their game and applying them to MSF with no adjustment for scale. Also, the type of audience for a mobile game is vastly different than an MMORPG. How many of the download numbers make it past level 10? (I'd lower the threshold but if I remember right you could hit level 5 almost within an hour of download and that was shortly after global launch.) Using MobileGamer's main point, $80/month (pass purchases) should be plenty of revenue to support the game. There's definitely players who will spend significantly more and more than make up for the full on F2P players. I'll be curious to see what sort of hit they take if fewer players are buying the battle passes going forward as many say they are. This is why the player base is calling them greedy. There was good value for a while in the battle passes but I know I haven't felt a need since completing DD7 and they've reduced the number of character shards in the pass. If they can restore that value (adding more recent gear like purple ISO since that's the new bottleneck or more character shards) that may prevent some of those losses, but I can promise you a regular pass purchaser was likely to make even a couple random purchases beyond that whereas now they won't buy the pass or those random purchases so they'll be even more dependent on the krakens.

So the reason I used WoW is because with a subscription based model especially one like WoW which hasn’t changed since must have some form of cost based analysis to keep the game going no matter the number of players as WoW has been the same subscription cost for 20 years now. So that is the reason I used the monetary figure of WoW. However I did scale that to our known player base for the income of MSF maybe this should have been shown on a separate slide. This is what I was trying to get across in the video people think that there is a lot of money spent in MSF but what if it isn’t? Remembering that currently if we take the research done that 1.5% of the player base makes up 100% of the revenue of the game that means 5000 players just under are supporting over 300,000 players. That takes alot of money to support.

Generally the answer to that question is no. Research shows roughly 2% of the playerbase spend, and out of those, by far the most of the revenue comes from the big spenders we affectionally call "Krakens". Lowering the price just means krakens gets the same stuff for cheap, but there isn't enough people in the lower brackets that would start spending if prices was lowered 20% anyhow, so it wouldn't really do much other. Positive Geek does not really go into this, but there's a pretty big jump in spending between what we would call "light spenders", that still does the battlepasses and maybe an offer here and there (so effectively ~$100 a month) and the real spenders. Just getting one character to 7 star at release, is something like $480 per character, never mind the diamonds. So with this in mind, I think the real change Scopely has done with this release cadence is to try and appease the light spenders more. Why? Because light spenders don't get enough of a powerboost from the battlepasses, which means F2P could still compete somewhat, especially if they get good drops. Other than download and activity, F2P players are users, not customers of Scopely. I also reject the premise of the video, as the cited playerbase has remained relatively stable for years. F2P are always trying to be all doomy and gloomy whenever Scopely tries and takes care of their customers instead of their users, but we're on year 8 of operations currently so it likely can't be that bad.

I'm glad to see Blade arrive, as you say last of the big names left apart from Chuck. I'm even more pleased to have a new Mystic Raid team at last. Also looking forward to next week's Spend Positively & comparing core stats with you. Any suggestions on how to spend 50 cores when we're not doing refrshes? I'm sure there's sonething obvious I've not thought of.

Hey Clay! Yeah a new Mystic raid team is much needed and I love the fact it’s Vampire based. For me with power cores I either use it in the Arena to get two extra attacks or I’ll use it for a store refresh.

Oh man Kyln was the bane of my existence this past week :) Had to run it 3 times. Currently on floor 49 as I type this. I do enjoy it to some extent, but I do hate that it seems like if you don't have the right CDs, you need to start over.

@@thebigpositivegeek So last night I was counting the pieces for upgrading 3 Orchis and unfortunately I'm about 20 short on both tech minis. I might look into swapping in Glad as a 3rd, though he's only 95 and I don't even know if I have the gold to get him to 100 as well as SS. If I end where I'm at, it's all good. I honestly thought I'd end on 47. You have a good weekend as well!

Will we be a massive tie with top 7500 or 10000 if many clear Klyn? Since top 50 ppl, will be the one that can clear Klyn. Just cleared it with the annihilator Trio at the end. Toughest part was cabal.

Whenever there is a klyn/ Tower event I tried to play it as soon as possible because scopely usually makes a mistake and has to restart it. Although it gets restarted often you don't lose out on the resources you've already attained, so IMO it's worth it to get at it as soon as possible because if this does happen and traditionally it's happened regularly then it's a great way for free to play players such as myself much needed extra resources. From the last big event where they had the mistake and ran it for 6 days I've saved 16 diamond orders to spend at a later date I figure I'll use them when there's more new characters in the game for Gorr it just may take a little while to get the yellow stars to get there

Yeah they normally do muck up the tower modes which is a shame. I’m going to put this PSA out on Mondays video. But you might want to watch your raiding with Orchis on the last day of this event as unless they have fixed the issue (this is MSF so I doubt this.) Then your Tiebreaker with people who get to a similar floor as you in Kyln will be the raid with Orchis and so will throw you to the bottom of the leaderboard.
