lol check this 100,000 Balen recharge, R2 gone crazy o_O

[WhoSeis]

Dude and Dudettes.. what is happening is real simple. These toons you see with ridiculously expensive gearing are one of two things: 1)someone with more money than sense; or 2) someone funded by kabam to drive up sales of balens, and of the two, there are far more employees than players. Knowing this should help you pace yourself on what you spend on their game.. Should you try to compete with the employees of Kabam/R2, have deep pockets....

[mastrajanis]

the stronger get stronger??? pfff ... want to be stronger just get balens lol...

[KinkehBeast]

Well, good to no that. At least through tok, the top 8 guys havent got orange one yet

Yeah but then what happens when they do. The players who dont spend will need to spend in order to get somewhere and improve. The causal casher will need to spend more in order to keep up and the heavy cashers will be too stupid to stop for such little improvements. This Recharge is a big bonus in a lot of factors but in my eyes the prices are far to steep for a single event. They havent thought this through. I will admit even i spent a lot to get the underworld steed but at that time it was beneficial and i got the Wild fire steed, event mounts that was on at the time and a lot of whip with that 50k ... this 100k is outrageous. Its double the amount, half as useful now and is obviously R2 showing they dont give a **** about the players anymore they just want their wallets. I'm sick of them taking no action on honest players, merging servers that arent meant or ready for such a massive gap. My server merged with a server 6-8 months ahead. Sure i got my legendary's and stuff but now ive lost out on all the bonuses i could have achieved before like Solo arena awards, World boss ect ect. Now if i want to get anywhere i'm being forced to cash and this recharge is beyond a joke. Now ive personally asked to have a solo merge with the server S1 due to my Irl friends being there and such also i had issues on my own server i wanted to get away from, but R2 claims they cant even do that... so where exactly is my cash going? They can mess up my game by dumping me with no choice into a server that can most likely slay our entire server with a few people but when its requested under a good reason its denied. R2 needs to sort themselves out in my opinion because this game will lose its players and the switch will be flicked. Then what will the cashers do with all that money they spent on this game when its deactivated due to lack of funding. Maybe thats why their milking us so hard for our money now because its already begun. Well their attitude stinks so i'm done cashing. (My rant is over now ^-^ )

Not necessarily :P (though no idea what server timezone/etc you're on) but speaking from my own tok at least they have several sylphs, so sometimes they forget to leave an orange one on and other times a blue one, or sometimes just no sylph at all.

[matyre]

Just look on Oceanic servers, Pipster has orange apollo and Iris, lol. There's numerous servers, mainly top 100 on their respective platforms that have orange sylphs.

Well "spending" to me is actually consuming balens such as every "consume" event that has been in the past, which FORCES you to SPEND in a short matter of time to get any of the "good" bonuses. Now this event simply requires you to recharge, yes it's a large amount, even I'm not able to do it (granted I would if I could), but if you would normally recharge AND consume ~50-100k balens within the next 6 months or more wouldn't it make a lot more sense to recharge now?

I mean for recharging an amount you would have recharged anyways just at separate times you get roughly 20mil gold, 15mil daru, 1900 sepulcrum/mahra, 150 new years boxes and 19 cards. Not only that but you get the +40 mount.

Now the mahra we know is "worth" 35 balens a piece, we know they often give sepulcrum the same "value" as mahra, so that's already roughly 133k balens, the gold/daru if you went crazy doing gold alchemy would also cost several hundred bucks to do and 150 boxes is a little under 60$. So for not "consuming" a single balen you get an "in game value" of 140-150k balens... and it leaves you the balens to do later consume events or actually spend it however you want.

How many recharge only events have there ever been in the past where they gave in-game value surpassing that of the recharge itself? Only one I know of was the blue fire for server opening/merges but can't say the value of the whole pack was this "good" in comparison.

IMO anyone that does and can spend ~100k balens within 6 or so months "should" really consider the whole thing, especially with the rumored Hades sylph coming later on this month (kong) or the future lightning/other sylphs.

kinda makes sense.
but u forgot that all the mahra just like whips will be sold at discounted price. Last time whip was 16/each combined with the event making it less than 13/each.
I believe no one would buy alot of them with 35/each.
Still its good to get all those things by "recharging" instead of "spending". I might go for it if I have the $$$$$

[Wraithraiser]

Wow, really? I havent seen an orange one. Cant believe ppl would actually spend that much on the sylph

Just look on Oceanic servers, Pipster has orange apollo and Iris, lol. There's numerous servers, mainly top 100 on their respective platforms that have orange sylphs.

[matyre]

I think it's stupid that players spent 2.500$ to make orange apollo when now they could have done it with just 1.000$, or in 1 month with 500$ or in 3 months for free. Now that's entertainement.

Wow, really? I havent seen an orange one. Cant believe ppl would actually spend that much on the sylph

[0xykotton]

That's what I have been saying all a long. It is the cashers fault for spending so much for so little all the time in this game. We as players will never get any good recharge events if we keep spending stupidly in this game. R2 is a business and they know how to trick players into buying there **** for so much. Even if they offer so little boost to the players. Each month they drop the stats or they drop the rewards from recharging. Due to the fact they are testing waters to see if people actually go for it. People actually do fall for these type of trick which means R2 will keep up with the lame promos. The only way to have a great promo like the first few that came outwhen this game came out. is if the players of this game actually play smart and don't spend thousands on getting very little return. That will never happen though since every hard casher wants to be on top. They can offer a +10 mount for 200,000 balens and people will buy it. In fact that basically happened with the hall of fame event. It's the silly things like this which is causing prices to be expensive in this game and very little return to the players. Play smart and spend smart. Show R2 you won't fall for there tricks anymore and I guarentee you prices will either drop or rewards will be much higher.

[KinkehBeast]

Yes but your talking about Spending $1k at one given moment, not over the course of 6 months... Is this event going to keep coming up or is it going to be a special kind that requires a server merge to get it again? All these factors come into play with such a high demand of cash. Its ridiculous, personally i'm not bothering anymore this is taking cashing to a whole new level. Even casual cashers wont be able to keep a footing in this game anymore.
I can think of A lot of other things i'd rather spend 1k on ....
This is a joke

[mageheal50]

$1k is nothing for other people. R2Games have managed to get them hooked into this game.

What's bad then?
when those "hooked" players arent that rich and spent that much, sacrificing alot in real life.

You are recharging 1000 dollar, that's for many a months work, for a flashgame. That's not an investment (you don't gain anything in reality).
I cash myself but this is ridiculous, you'd have to be extremely rich or extremely addicted to this game if you want to 'invest' like that.

Lets see, spend the money now and get the freebies (some 60k+ balens worth) or spend the same amount over the course of the next 6-8 months with no extras...

I'm a light-moderate casher depending on whose setting the cut offs (VIP, Spirit cov, crypt keys, exp scrolls) but it makes much more sense for me to spend the money and just use the balens over the course of several months.

[IggyBousse]

You're not spending, you're recharging.

[Tranc3motion]

You're not spending, you're recharging.

Before, you're spending $1k to get 100,000 balens.
Now you're spending $1k to get 100,000 balens + mount + other stuff...

Either way, you spent $1k.
