I'm quitting for more than just bad pulls (and sorry you guys won't convince me they're not bad). I'm sick of being a slave to schedules and a stamina bar. 2 months of really dedicated playing turned PAD into a 2nd job and having all that effort put in rewarded with emptying out my savings with 2 god fests worth of garbage to show for it was the last straw.
If I was really super serious about quitting I'd delete the app off both my devices and I haven't done that, so I'll probably keep doing the daily login and checking for gift dungeons like I do in all the Final Fantasy cell phone games that I never play anymore yet for some reason keep logging into every day. Putting in active work to clear things and build up my cards has stopped being rewarding tho. I'm at the point in both of my accounts when meaningful progress is only going to come from 2 things, 1. getting lucky on REM pulls, and 2. farming skill ups and plus eggs ad nauseam, and those activities have proven to be the most cancerous aspects of the game so far.
Got lots of fun out of the game. Don't regret my light IAPing. But I just spent $30 USD on a pokeyman game I love where I'll be able to catch em all with no bullshit attached. If I throw $30 USD into PAD I'm just going to get dicked by 6 more silver eggs.
hold on to your account - trust that there aren't many other games out there that are as addictive, as social and as fun (and that suck)
I love complaining about the game - and have taken many months off - recently not touching stamina for a week - sometimes not reading the board for a similar amount of time.
I've rolled a pack (17 rolls) of all silver. I've raged - even e-mailed gungho and gotten a shitty form letter response.
I've also pulled back to back 0.01% pulls that would make people tremendously envious.
I've often thought that I would have quit the game without this board - but its weirdly synergistic - despite playing games on PC/Xbone/ps4 I still love having this game in my pocket - I guess the balance comes from knowing you don't have to play.
when my mind jumps into something else I completely forget to run challenges - forget to pick up the free stones - but it is still there.
As much as I like to complain - it really is the most generous with free shit (rolls, plused mobs and free tamas) - the game becomes quite generous if you look at it from the perspective of not needing to be at the forefront of the meta.
the shit rolls you had this weekend might be the uber of tomorrow - I kept two krishna for the hell of it - and it turned out to be a fun lead.
given what you currently run, your rolls might be shit.
for about the first 1000 days I would have killed for I&I - it still remains a staple on a number of my blue teams. Saria - when I had to put urd on my XM I was livid I couldn't pull a saria.
to each their own - this game remains a total RNG shit fest - but you knew that after reading the board.
last things -
- you don't know about being a slave to stamina - a large number of people still posting remember when it was 1 stamina per 10 minutes and no real power ranking methods to mention.
- the schedule thing - its imaginary - every dungeon will rotate back in eventuality - as long as you come to terms with missing shit and playing on your schedule (not gunghos) its a different game
- emptying out savings - yeah the game can be expensive - and the thing that really sucks is after putting a significant amount of money into it you feel tied to it - your statement of emptying out savings doesn't sync with light iap, but I respect that the game doesn't care about how much you spend.
if you want to quit I get it - but its one of those things that you will want to come back to in the future - so - keep the account and go play something else for a while
*let us know if you find something better - because we are ready.
Anybody else stop finding random adventurers before entering a dungeon since the last update?
almost the reverse - almost every random payer is now running the lead I'm currently running.
the only thing that changed is that the random players that I can choose from is that they are no longer random.
