This will be the last time I make a video like this, pointing out criticisms and feedback. This is twice now and I don't think I should have to do it again, I would recommend players simply stop playing if they continue to feel dissastisfied. I do apologize if video quality is not up to the standard expected, but I wanted to get it out as soon as possible while I still had time and it was still relevant. The video has English subtitles, captioned by me. If you would like to offer a direct translation (not via automatic translation services like Google Translate) to another language, contact me on Discord, username is at the bottom of the description.

Feels rough saving up for a few months just in case, coming into August with about 75k gems, and still only got 2/3 of them. Had to ignore pulls I might want knowing these would be good. Add to that the new style of events has no benefit to playing once 10k points is reached, and theres just no incentive to login more than a quick 10 minutes for dailies. At that point, it's becoming a chore, not a game, and the rewards for playing feel less rewarding. It's a shame, because the core game is good, and I'd like it to feel that way again.

That was perfectly worded, "the core game" being good, but the rest of it felt like a chore.

@@masuzun6546 lol dude masters has hit over $300 Million dollars life time earnings at the beginning of this year. They are far from broke... And no, no one expects to get everything for free. But if you do the math (even though Salamence has already done it in the video) you don't have enough currency to barely get half way to a single unit in a month, let alone have the ability to get multiple, and on anniversary where there are 9 new units, 3 arc fairs, 2 master fairs, 3 additional masters that passed right before anniversary and multiple other units. It is EXTREMELY over due for us to get a reasonable amount of gems to actually be able to play the game. I'm a pay to play player myself and I already invest too much just to be able to play and enjoy, so I can only imagine what it's like if you are FTP

@@masuzun6546no, but it would need to be worth it. I don't mind putting a bit of money into something I'm enjoying, but when it gets to the point of paying 20 quid for a single pull of something that already failed many times, that's not it. To pity on paid gems (excluding the deals) would take over £250. £320 each for the arc suits. You could get 4/5 brand new full games for that. I don't expect things to be free, I do expect them to make premium options worthwhile.

@184Switch 12 күн бұрын

@masuzun6546 looks like the last comment didn't post. Basic gist was don't mind paying for things if they're worth it. The price they put on one unit is more than 4 new console games. They need to price things fairly, otherwise not making money is on them.

I love this game, but it just doesn't seem fun anymore. These arc scouts were ridiculous. I spent all my saved gems (F2P) and got around 4 repeated 5 Stars in total. I'm not angry tho, at this point it's just what I expected. The events have become a chore, and they give out less rewards. But it is still a gacha game, and we all know what that means. It's the idea behind the game itself. If you want the pair now, spend money, if you're F2P, lol good luck and wait for a rerun. Good video man!!

@LITTLE1994 11 сағат бұрын

I personally love Pokemon Masters EX, but it has been such a huge letdown for non-paid players such as myself, to the point it has gotten boring. It is stupidly difficult to get the best stuff without being forced to use real money. I miss the old school way of unlocking content by simply proving your skills in the game. I did still manage to get Arc Cynthia.

@pokestyn 13 күн бұрын

One solution could be sync move candy for arc fairs specifically. If it’s given out as much as the other non general 5 star candy it could even make arc fairs easier to invest in

also, for anyone who's a paldea fan- Giacomo and Clavell being released days after the anniversary ENDS as limited time sync pairs was awful. I didn't even touch the Arc Suits, but i wasted 9,000 gems on Sygna Suit Lear and didn't even get him, rendering me broke when Clavell and Giacomo- syncs i'm actually more interested in, came out.

I mean, at the end of the day, in spite of complaints, I know Arc!Cynthia at the very least, sold like hotcakes. I'll put myself on blast, I did whale/dolphin a bit for these pairs for the 1st time since I left the game about a year ago, granted I won't be spending in October and now after the Multi Fair precedent I'll basically be skipping everything other than them, barring one of my absolute faves gets an alt (and two of those faves in Leon & Iris *will* be arc/multi pairs anyway 😅) If anything, assuming more ppl are like me, this will just hurt regular/pokefair/seasonal sales instead. I do think the new role was a mistake overall... it just wasn't needed.

@GeneralTagatashi 13 күн бұрын

I think it would of been interesting to examine some other solutions around the scout point issue since the satisfaction around pulling units is very vital to a gacha game and where this one is dropping the ball. I think they fell into a trap relying constantly on limited pairs to preasure you into pulling, I would of liked it if after 2/3 years limited pairs got added to the general pool. This would mean pulling feels better since even if you spark you probably picked up some pairs that could benefit you or get extra copies for the improved grids. A benefit for the developers would be people being more likely to pull on general fair scouts since there would be a much smaller chance that you get them off banner for favs. Some ideas I saw that I quite liked where making grouped units share a scout point counter, so instead of one for cynthia/steven/lance it would be a Arc Scout Point, so if you got Cyntheia after 200 pulls, you only need a maximum of 300 more pulls to get Steven. Another idea was garuteeing an Arc unit after 400, but then pushing you to spend another 100 pulls toget a copy, since these units like move level investment.

@dayvonlouis5187 13 күн бұрын

I’m surprised people aren’t more pissed some sync pairs didn’t return, the rolls are constantly getting stacked more and more as they refuse to retire the sync pairs that the community at large more than likely maxed out and the Arc suit sync pairs are freaking unbelievable not just in that they raised the pity scout limit but as I mentioned before the chances of getting are far less than 1% because of the aforementioned bloat problem when them not retiring the older sync pairs (seriously there’s no reason that I should’ve seen Hala in 5 multi’s and all in all they game is just becoming more disappointing

OK, so, as much as I hate the whole 500 scout points thing and the Arc Suit fairs, which I still haven't scouted for, not once, Dena in the the month of September has given us 32K of free gems. It was around 26K via events and daily logins, then they gave us another 3K for the anniversary and then another 3K split into 1K a day bringing the total sum to 32K. Plus, we are getting another 1K for Lear in a few days

there are 3 reason pokemon masters is going downx3 every month after the 3.5 anni was done reasons: 1. Gems: every month they always gave us Gems true thats like the point of the game. but plot twist is lest than 30k which is not even affordable for players to get scout points. thats one 2. the Point system right now were in: its always take atleast 5-7 days to complete and even with the main 1.8 Sync pairs like whats the point of the System if its always to get us use stamina everyday even thought you could save the stamin for later 3. the Scout rate's: The Rate system allowes use to get multiple sync pairs depending on the banner a spotlight is usually 7% & 2.000% of getting the sync pair. while Poke fair is 10% & 2.000% of getting it and Masterfair is 12% & 1.000%. and now the arc fairs 12% & 1.000% with 500 scout points which make it even worse now. idk how Dena is getting worst by the month alot of players have already quit since then. and now next month they added idk what upgrade thing there talking about which is still a mystery to us. idk if its better or vice versa sooner or later there will be a demolition and pokemon masters is going down sooner or later im still playing thought how this game will last this is basically a Mrbeast Downfall but Pokemon masters.

thats why you never pay for gacha ever. been playing pokemon masters for 4.5 years and fgo for 5-6 years, never payed a cent and got a pretty stacked account after playing for long. its gonna be a grindfest whether you pay or not, its eventually gonna run out of service after a while. i remember how they shut down tales of crestoria and the english version of princess connect re dive after just a year or so, gacha games will not last. im often bewildered how ppl can pay exorbitant amounts for such measly gains, even if you're rich. unless of course you use it to make youtube channels and thrive off of it

I disagree with the general sentiment that the update to the sync scout ticket pools and to the daily scout were positive: about the former, we simply got too few new spotlights for it to matter, and we still don't have any Paldean spotlight, while other regions haven't received one for more than one or possibly two years; the daily scout looks great on paper, with the chance of getting even masterfairs, but by scouting a single pair each day, the chances are so incredibly low that most of us won't ever pull one until EoS, and some unlucky people won't see a limited 5-star either.
