OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - All the little things that have caused me to lose interest

This is mostly feedback for the devs.

For me, three things have caused me to go from keeping tabs on things all day, every day, to logging in every few days just to check for something interesting.

1. As some have alluded to, too many 100s, especially fake 100s. It's clear there are cards that are really 100s, some that should be diamonds, some 105s, some 110s, etc. and it wears me out seeing nothing but perfect cards on every roster but knowing there are HUGE differences between cards, and teams.

I know the idea has been to keep releasing better cards as the weeks progress to keep carrots out there, but there's as much difference now between (mostly) early 100s and (mostly) later ones as between early perfects and golds, maybe silvers. That's nonsensical.

2. The missions that force us to lock good, expensive cards to get lesser cards for future missions. I'm sick of spending big points on useless cards to get useless cards just because I'll need them for a later mission to get the card(s) I really want.

I've spent the whole summer waiting for Clemente, who will apparently be FH#3 for Pittsburgh, but it's caused me to either lock cards I couldn't care less about or, even worse…

3. I can't complete missions I need to complete to get even one big card I've been waiting for (or will need to get it when it comes out) because they're all being hoarded, or everyone has locked them, and there are NONE in the auction house. It's insane to find it impossible to complete required missions because the cards literally can't be found.

There's two ways to fix this:

A) Change the drop rate to account for the requirements for locking cards. Any cards that are in chain missions and must be locked to complete them need to drop in packs at a MUCH higher rate than non-mission cards.

B) Revamp the auction house to make every card available all the time at a fixed price. Have a "Card Store" to make sure every card can be bought at a price commensurate with its rating (which should be adjusted per No. 1 above, or if you demand to have dozens of unequal "Perfect" cards, let these prices reflect their relative values).

I'm sitting on 300k+ points and it's clear to me now that doesn't matter - I still won't get the card(s) I've waited for all summer, which has removed the fun and killed my interest.

Maybe next year gets better. There should be a lot to learn from this year.
