What does the Maverick Pack imply?

Good morning dear readers,
Today I want to talk about the Maverick Pack. I will give you my opinion and luckily enough foster a bit of debate on it since this game seems a bit “quiet”, to say the least, lately. As i have just said, I don’t pretend to make it a mathematical analysis with a lot of statements, it’s just an opinion. I’d love to hear yours’.
We had it for 2 months now, and seeing the amount of players who have it I would not bet that it will be gone soon. They said it was going to help new players without harming older ones. I don’t see how it helps any new players. What this pack does is plainly increase the pool of bullies in lower divisions. For quite a long time already we have had the IK players, players with strength and max-hit of a D4 player but in a lower division because they avoided fighting without it for a long. Now we just added to those guys the strong D4 guys with a lot of money or willingness to spend RL money in the game. This certainly contributes to balance the divisions, in a sense that now lower divisions are less under crowded, which does not imply that this is something good for new players, at all. You won’t probably solve the problem with young players with a pack…
Epic in D3 this Tuesday, and this happens
As you see in this picture, there are at least 250 euros invested in the Maverick Pack. You will agree that this is a really small representation of the reality. So, Plato is making good money with that pack.
I’ve read a few times already that IK players are not buying that pack anymore. I don’t think this makes any sense. Maybe some of those who already struggled getting the money of the investment back might think it twice, but those who earned a lot of money and e-bars should not worry at all. As said, this change is not that big, it just increases a bit competition, but let’s be real, competition was extremely low in lower divisions. There were literally 10-15 guys per division taking all the BHs.
I have to admit I have not done a lot of research on it, but from what I’ve seen, most D4 players only switch divisions to hunt an EPIC battle or when a battle is specially important for them. I don’t see them switching all the time to hunt little’s BHs. Some do, ofc, but it’s not the majority of them. Then, what would I do if I was a lower div?
Lower divs should fight as a group when they see a tank from a higher division change division to chase a BH. With fighting as a group I mean that any lower division player should fight hard to not let him take an easy BH. I don’t mean you should burn 400 e-bars, but make him think twice trying it again. After that make it public, with a shout for example. You need higher division players to know it’s not profitable for them to get BHs in lower division. In this way, with time, you will teach them that they should only buy the MP if they want to chase epics or to help the country in lower divs, not for BHs.
Conclusion, the Maverick Pack will probably stay with us for a while, so adapt to it. If you are a low experience tank make sure to teach others how you expect them to behave and don’t worry about the IK, it will still be profitable for you, and if you are an EPIC more than a BH guy, it will help you a hell of a lot. Don’t worry much about changing division, since you only need to replace the investment you used to do in the IK with the investment in the MP.
Stay safe and think different.

Como usuario del Maverick te diré que la cuestión es que para que un D4 haga algo de daño en las divisiones inferiores, necesitamos a alguien real de dicha división con una fuerza alta, porque sino pegamos bastante poco.
Por lo que si los jugadores con mas de 100ks de fuerza subieran a la D4, los que usamos el maverick nos encontraríamos por ejemplo pegando en la d1 como si pegásemos con bazzokas, y de esa forma hacer la D1 Épica no seria nada rentable para ellos por la cantidad de barritas de energía que tendrían que gastar.
De aqui a que subieran todos no falta nada...
Tampoco creo que haya tanta gente en divisiones bajas con +100ks, y a base de pegar se acaba subiendo. Cuantos puede haber¿¿¿ 200-300 personas??? El tema es querer jugarsela y que Plato en un futuro no haga algún cambio que les perjudique el haber subido a D4.
Personalmente, hace tiempo que deje de preocuparme del largo plazo 😛
I agree that the Maverick Pack only makes sense due to the utter lack of Epic battles in especially D4.
Back when we had a couple of epics a day such a pack would have been an utter failure, unless it would be a breeze to obtain BHs in the lower divisions...
Aside from the epics, me being stuck in D4 also is missing the Epic Warfare event. But of course without epics such an event would also be a complete failure. I'm not sure what happened to the epics, but I guess the admins have turned a few knobs to make them way more unlikely in all divisions, so that a MP and changing divisions is sort of required if you want to encounter them...
indeed, if you now want to reach 5k pp fast for energy regenerate +60 you will need to buy the pack.. in other words. many many players have less damage in the last 4 days of the week because they don't have the MP 🙂
"the Maverick Pack will probably stay with us"
... while some players won't.
If with "some" you mean the vast majority, I agree 😛
Subbed
What if admins have way different, maybe higher knowledge of how Maverick helps younger players?
Including Wisdom and encouragement, New ones to see up close, in their own DIV, how mighty and strooong one can become... (In some day) DIV 4 plyer doing 200M damage in DIV2 battle.
There, there you can see and learn up close, from someone already mighty-one..
AS said, it´s much higher wisdom. Demanding years of meditation, sitting upside-down under the palm-tree for 6-weeks and so on.. Then, you may be able to just reach the sharp edge of the greater wisdom.
Hail to...
