@nflman2033
Man, I'm honestly kinda over the downgraded XP system this year. I'm putting in the same game time I do every year, except this year I'm not being rewarded for it. S2 is going to make or break this game, and that's just my own opinion. Any other year I put this amount of time in and I get one or two of the bosses...this year...not at all. Not even gonna sniff the first boss...
IF they are smart enough to revert back to previous year's in-game XP, that would likely go a long way in keeping people around. Do this, and put a few of those program packs in the reward path of the program themselves...those two things would go a long long way with the community
I understand your feelings I really do. I also understand SDS standpoint on not wanting boosters to get the bosses too soon. While I personally don't care what boosters do since I don't play other people in DD, I at least see a purpose for what they are doing and I actually do see them fast tracking most every one to get there by the end. I am way more upset with not getting enough free special packs. These free packs in the past are a big part of helping market prices get from being out of control.
I actually have hope they will start putting more of these in upcoming programs, probably for sure in the season 2 xp program. Of course it would not surprise me either way. But I would really be surprised if they do anything about XP, I think they believe XP is working the way it is intended.

@blitz77tw I understand what you're saying. I love the game too. If I didn't I wouldn't still play it AND [censored] about it. I would just [censored] off and never give it a chance again.
They do not DESERVE any form of praise for anything in the current state of the game. It's not about you "winning" something over on me or with me. If your employee is [censored] up at work that costs your company money but he occasionally sends an email out on time you don't say "gee that's a great email! Keep up the good work!" As he breaks every [censored] thing in your office. That's called enabling. You're being an enabler when you praise them for NOT fixing the problem. I don't give two shits about you saying something I agree with. It's the fact you're on with their [censored] content drops that are literally ONLY to make a profit off of the whales and simps. They don't care to fix their broken [censored] game because dumbasses pay them anyways.
It's like Chinese mobile game devs run SDS. [censored], mobile baseball games are probably better!Whales and simps is right. This game is like Starbucks. Everyone bitches about it not being as good as it used to be, more expensive, worse quality and customer service -- and they're printing money and couldn't care less. People in Teslas buying $15 olive oil lattes and teenage girls filling up their Stanleys with $12 acai refreshers...

@sbchamps17 being negative and being realistic usually come hand in hand. The attitude of be happy with what we have is a loser mentality. Nothing gets better that way.
yeah as a consumer you're not allowed to have fun cause we arent being spoiled anymore, only negative feedback and make sure you post about foul balls, and how every one of your good swings are outs and opp's bad swings are hits.

@AdeptOfMemory said in 99’s incoming:
@blitz77tw it's also not helpful that SDS focuses on pushing paid content instead of fixing their game. Why are you putting the onus on the victim (paid $80) and not the victimizer (SDS)?
i hate went people say "victim" while talking about a video game. Honestly grow up, the game isn't great we get it but victim?Reall? My goodness talk about over dramatic it's a video game go outside if you don't like it.

Oh I agree 100% it's working the way they intended...for the hardcore grinders. It's slowed them down a bit...but it's hurt the majority of the player base that doesn't grind like that. I guess SDS thought it was better to punish the many to slow down the few.

Yes, but if they combat it by dropping programs with big XP amounts at the end of the season, it may be ok. I was upset with it when I was at 300k thinking I wouldn't make it. Now I am like 875k, I think I will. So I am holding off on my final judgment of XP this season until its over and we hear from the people who didn't make it to a boss.

Look at you, being all logical and making sense and being fair. GTFOH with that nonsense /s
Nah that's probably the best way to go about it. I'm gonna do my best to keep that mindset, just tough because I do feel rather disappointed in this year's iteration

Hey, it took me a bit to come to that conclusion. I was very unhappy at first, still am for the most part, but I do see a path for righting the ship, but nothing can be done on our part other than give our feedback and wait and see.

@chucky97___ cry, loser. You're a victim when you buy a product that you were told was one think but when you get it it's absolutely NOT what you paid for. You were scammed. Just cause you suck em off while ignoring it and they give you a little treat for you enjoy from time to time doesn't mean they are doing a good job as developers. Stop the simping or at least [censored] off to enjoy your SDS gurgling elsewhere. It is all proving my point as you keyboard warrior for these pigs running the Show.
-
@chucky97___ how much they pay you to post on the forums? I might actually do that too if it's good enough. I mean I don't basement dwell under my parents bedroom like you can but I might be able to add time to this forum if a paycheck is involved.
-
@chucky97___ Did you feel like a big man typing that? You telling me your parents don't make you angry when they don't give you ketchup to dip your dino nuggies in for supper? Dude, stubbing my toe makes me angry. I'm allowed to get angry at a video game.

no you're allowed to be angry, but you are treating this game like it is life or death. It's not that deep bud.

So no one is allowed to enjoy the game? I like baseball, I enjoy playing, is it it perfect? No. The only keyboard warrior here is you, I have said nothing in disrespect towards you.

Just a personal opinion but I think it's absurd that a month an half into release and just a month into baseball season we're at 99s. In the words of Syndrome from the incredibles, "when everyone is super then nobody is". I liked it better when we had to grind with bronze and silvers to obtain golds and then grind those to obtain diamonds.
-
@Ledfoot_19 welp, good news for you the power creep resets in 29 days, and no one was ever playing online grinding ranked using bronzes and silvers.
-
I personally am excited to see some 99s that are accessible and hopefully we get to see some new cards and maybe card types with it. I am not extremely happy with the game so far and the way it seems to have turned away from programs and grinds to more and more packs without putting these packs into any programs I am looking forward to getting some 99s before the power creep reset. My only hope is that the wild card spots are actually obtainable in season 2 so we can use a few of our S1 cards. There was alot of potential for this game with the power creep back and keeping it fresh with new seasons but the execution has been terrible and has gone away from what people actually enjoyed about the game

if you think about it, we use to only get one TA per season, now we are getting 3 TA's per season. thats almost over 90 free cards, including 30 free 99's, boss packs and collection packs.

True, but we are all getting the same cards, in order to get different cards you have to buy packs. It's actually not great for lineup diversity.
