What happened to offline content?
-
Just over a month in and I havent played the game for 2 weeks.
I have played 7 Conquest games and a bunch of Spotlight Moments as my total playing time in April. That's maybe 3 to 4 hours.
That is most likely the least I have played in April ever.
As a Cardinals fan we have gotten, if I am not mistaken, a single card since we got three on March 19th for Spring Breakout. That card was an Egg Hunt Masyn Winn which was in a pack so I just bought him. No reason to play.
I assume we will get an April Jordan Walker Card but that is still like two weeks away and with him cooling off on the HR front (although he is currently tied for the longest active hit streak at 15) he is probably not a leading candidate for Lightning so there is a better than a 50% chance he will just be another pack card.
And I know there are a few teams in even worse shape than the Cardinals.
When you couple that with the fact that I am somewhat addicted to Crimson Desert and also the fact that Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is supposed to release their patch that enables PSVR 2 support this week, only Cardinals content will pull me back into the game for the foreseeable future.

They aren’t getting rid of those other programs (AS, finest,..), they just aren’t incorporating them into TA this year for some reason.
-
‘Some reason’ - streamers didn’t want to grind for the AS/Finest collections and would rather be able to just buy everything
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN I think that’s lame in my opinion. What fun is it just to buy everything? To me the fun is in the gameplay and grind. What do I know though. I know my opinion probably isn’t important to anyone in here. I just state my opinion in hopes that if the developers see enough of these they listen to our feedback.
-
Not having allstar or finest a part of TA but their own separate thing is a good idea, they should still do something else with TA though
-
wonder what that could be
-
Offline content is almost non existent this year, its insane. Dont even have a conquest to grind.
-
And here is a secret for SDS:
If I am unhappy with the offline content Im not going to start playing online more, Im just going to play the game less. Which means very little chance for me to care when you do a flash sale if I need to top up for a fomo gamble.
Amen. Heed that, SDS. Your online “experience” is [censored]. I’d rather mow the yard again.
-
I doubt that its the streamers not wanting to grind - those dudes play a million hours, and you fly through TA grinds doing that. More likely, its the tweens who only wanna play Ranked with their one god squad - and dont have the patience to use other cards from different teams, or play different modes.
-
@rubicante23_PSN not if you never play with insert Color Storm/Spotlight card here, even on those other modes, which is to say the venn diagram intersection between ‘streamers’ and ‘people who only want to use a godsquad’ or ‘people who only wanna play with their favorite swings or at least swings they already know like’ is actually pretty substantial. we’ll see this year how many of them did the TA stuff cause they had to and how many were actually doing it for the love of the game.
-
@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN yeah, we know a ton of people dont play with a variety of cards like that. I think it should be strongly incentivized, but then you're gonna get a bunch of people yelling "stop making me play with cards I dont like!"
-
I play ranked coop with my friend for the MP stuff...cringe when I have to get into events to complete things because as soon as I win three or four games I run into the guys who have to WAAC and I suddenly can't hit or I'll give up a suspect 10 spot. I'll rarely touch conquest because it feels...off? It plays entirely different from other modes. I grind offline primarily for the XP path.
I miss the days of just grinding vs the Yetis.

I don't have any evidence to back it up but I think what happened is they changed Conquest from the "casual" setting to "simulation" which plays a lot more brutally. Mini seasons and versus CPU are on the "casual" setting so you can hit HRs with guys even in the 60s in power. In Conquest it seems like the only way to get a HR is with a 100+ power guy, a perfect/perfect pull shot. Everything else dies at the warning track.
-
I wouldn’t mind them updating the Jolt cards mid season with a roster update to make them viable again at that point. Maybe make them 95s if they aren’t releasing anything else.
-
Between lack of content, crappy rewards and terrible XP the offline grind is just about dead. Kinda wishing I hadn’t bought the game this year. I feel like SDS doesn’t want me as a consumer so why am I still here? Not sure.
-
@PAinPA_PSN its a good idea until you realize that it will just be another lame program with most of the cards being in packs.
-
@LHUBison58_XBL They should be updating them every inning or 2. Theme teams are dead and the captain boosts aren’t even working.
-
You know, I have an hour or so before I start thinking about dinner and I could definitely play but Vampire Crawlers just released on Game Pass today so I think I should find out if a dungeon crawling card based version of the game with retro graphics can be anywhere near as addictive as the regular Vampire Survivors
