Would you say it's a bad move overall? Havent tested the latest update yet, but i did update already.
For me, not at all. I unlocked the female characters early with gems. The other characters don't interest me. And I've got gems to spare considering I've had this game since it first launched. The premium currency seems to be micro film. (MF) I do see it becoming an issue for new gamers. Or the ones saving up for Joanna or other characters that switched to MF (like Cecil down there). Funny how Joanna is the only original character to go premium, I can bet she's the most popular so that makes the move quite sleazy and pushing for IAP. The premium wouldn't be as bad if you could obtain it while running (like Temple Run 2). I've yet to run into a single micro film. So if continues are worth two (and go up into 2 MF increments), and you only obtain MF in increments of two per day; It might take a while to unlock the characters with the 20,40 MF price tag. Granted that price is not too out of reach.
This update has some incredibly questionable changes/nerfs. The fully upgraded magnet no longer has the X3 multiplier property. It's not a free pickup anymore because it costs 1,500 to activate for the next run. So you have to run for hella long before you actually get the powerup to pay for itself. This defeats the purpose of the magnet in the first place! I can't think of a reason to purchase one since it will offer no advantages to helping you build gems faster which was its original purpose. And this new premium currency... All the characters I was still saving up for are now premium. I think I will be uninstalling this one. I'll keep it on my iPhone in case they update it again and fix some of this stuff, but I think it's just going to get worse from here on out. And I thought the IAP was bad in Sonic Dash. This is just insane. Sorry for the rant, but this update really upset me because I genuinely enjoyed this game. This is way too drastic.
^ First victim of the new IAP system. Sorry man. They took the freemium route way too seriously with this update. Edit: Wow, I had not noticed that upgrading a boost doesn't mean you'll run into it along the way. I just ran 5000 meters and didnt encounter a single one despite having almost duly upgraded all of them. You have to buy a boost every time time you want to use it in your next run. Now THAT is f'ed up. That alone warrants heavy criticism. That goes beyond the standard runner system. I can understand air drops and other fancy power ups, but pay for a magnet/jet pack every time you wanna use them? That's not right at all.
Hmm... Doesnt sound too good. But i guess im on the same boat with Eoghann that i have unlocked everything already, and that i have only a few runs to get to unlock everything i could again.
Idiot questions - when it says "Tap to shoot", what am I shooting at? Can I aim? How do I know when I've shot enough times? Do I have limited ammo?
You're shooting the giant columns filled with glowing fluid. Aim is automatic. Keep tapping untill you reach the door with the crumbling bridge. There is actually no ammo to count, it's just a small scene for you to nab extra points. Changing guns affects the points (so they say, I think it's just an excuse to grind for a stupid accessory). Can't tell you which is better considering they have the same price tag.
Ya I'm with u guys. I love the new snow level and graphics seem overall better and smoother. I have everything unlocked allready and powered up. Funny they didn't ad more missions with this update. I really don't like paying for my magnet and the other power ups and damn where are the blue gems. U gotta run forever to get them. Why is the cloak allready powered all the way up? Weird. And what about these film spool currency ? I played yesterday and today and didn't get any for my daily challenge. I still love the game but this update put it second on my runner list behind temple run oz. c'mon full fat give us back our agent dash I give this update a 3 outta 10
The cloak is powered all the way up coz it's taking the place of the gem multiplier. I'm assuming you had the multiplier fully upgraded. You're lucky coz mine reset. xD
Ya and taking away the gem multiplier was bs too. So. Are u guys getting micro film for playing daily?
Mine's fully upgraded now too. They did add coins on places where there werent any, and it seems there more coins everywhere now, but i dont think it was a good move to remove the double and triple value coins.
So my fb friends have all stopped playing so does anyone on here want some more competition If so ill accept friend requests
And I saw the screen that showed your daily play rewards when I first updated But I see no mention of it since anywhere in the game and How many days do u have to play to recoeve your first film reward. 4 or 5 days?
Launched it this morning and no MF. No reward at all actually. I think there is a problem with their server, coz I went into the shop and it asks me to connect to the Internet.
Can someone tell me where all the power-ups are? I played 10 rounds and I haven't seen a jetpack or magnet, that's weird Edit: i just read through the last page. So there are no power-ups during the game and we have to buy them extra? That's so stupid fullfat!
So (and I'm getting REALLY tired of having to ask), should I update my iTunes file or keep the old version? I found the game a bit too grindy to begin with, and it's not sounding like it's been improved, to put it mildly. DBC
