Double Fight Money Days and Daily Challenges incoming.
Close the thread!
Not really, let’s wait to see how much FM each daily yields first. And the cost of each color pack, which ain’t gonna be cheap for sure on top of being costume specific. At least premium costumes have “free” colors now, including the ones bought with SP.
Also, I didn’t like double FM being ranked only (at least they implied that). Ideally it should include both ranked and casual matches.
Prob be better to wait to see if it’s actually worth it. It could be good for FM balance like Survival was a cool way to unlock colors. But yeah, this update looks really good on paper.
Just because we’re getting 100FM per win for a short time - the FM system itself is still full of issues
Daily targets got announced for September also so as long as you’re playing frequently you should have money.
Depends on how much they give
They can’t give too much. Arguably, they shouldn’t either. Someone needs to pay the bills. The system has to be somewhat oppressive with its grind to tempt you to pay cash.
I think the most sensible course of action is give season pass owners a notable discount on purchases with real or fight money.
The first paragraph I agree with, the second not so much. The season pass was advertised as a means to get the 6 characters “easily” + premium costumes for them. Nothing more.
We got additional stuff because the shop wasnt open (the guile stage) but why would we get more stuff now?
I thought it was the game that gets additional stuff for free, not the season pass.
I agree with you. The discount just further incentivizes the purchase of the seasonal pass, that’s all it is. From a business standpoint, I feel it makes sense so long as the discount doesn’t burn out potential profits from elsewhere.
It’s simpler to offer a discount to pass holders than to flood the multiplay with excess fight money. The former helps sell the pass (which is paramount IMO) while the latter gives customers more chances to get stuff for free.
For the people saying you can’t realistically sustain yourself without needing to spend $$$ I think you can, but it’s almost impossible to do without the use of the survival mod.
I completed everything in the game that awards FM except story mode. I’ve grinded around 1.6million FM at this point and around 30/50k through playing online , I’ve brought every character, the Air Force Base stage and colours 11-14 for Vega, Alex, Ken and Rashid.
I’m currently on 650k, with story mode still to finish awarding me 80k in total I believe? Take into account the available FM from Urien, and also remove my additional expenses like extra stages and colours and I’d be sitting over a million FM if I’d have just brought the characters.
That’s not actually that bad, if you can mod your game. Playing it legit though would be unreasonably difficult and a massive timesink to actually live off of purely FM.
Buying the characters with FM is easy mode. Will be even easier once the double FM and targets hit.
From there its just about the cosmetic fluff and if you want to spend the time. Which again should be easier in a month than it is now. Everything else is premium fluff that involves real money and not FM
So I don’t see how double FM is anything but a non-factor honestly. Targets hopefully are good. I have the season pass, so not too worried but depending on the targets, grinding for both S1 and S2 characters could be a headache.
