Premium account with academy/troop training update

Having a premium account is now less valuable than it was before the academy/troop training update. There is no academy so the 2x academy training doesn’t exist. The +100 soldier reserve size is still there but without the academy I see very little use for it. One fourth of the “bonuses and privileges” associated with a premium account went poof and another fourth is essentially useless now.

Premium account is advertised in game to have the 2x training speed but it does not have it. This is most likely just an oversight and will be fixed. It also seems like false advertising to me. Think of all those people that bought premium during the sale.

They could make it so that Premium accounts require less Bronze Orders to Rank upgrade and Train soldier

Agreed, they should make up for those who had bought premium account based on that advertisement.

fair point, but premium still holds it’s value due to the fact you get more bronzies, but yeah if someone bought premium for x2 academy then I can understand the frustration

i have mixed feelings about the new system, as to get the perks you want you rely on RNG like crazy and get robbed out of your time anyway.
Much easier to get level 5 all around, much harder to actually get 5 star soldier with perks that are not some rubbish +40% climbing rate (XD)

Well i did have 1y when i joined game, but then the special came, a few days before it ran out, so i grabbed the 2nd year, not complain about the 1st i spent, more upset, at buying the 2nd year, not knowing it would become useless, as they they knew it would be, when they did the sale.

Except it isn’;t useless unless the ONLY think you ever userd it for was the Academy… which is impossible.

However the point that they had a “sale” knowing that one part of it would be removed in a few days is a bit shitty.

I dont get you, i used academy heaps, and the reserves spaces?, how is it impossible/

Because if you are playing then you are getting XP bonus from premium all the time.

So it is impossible for the ONLY bonus you were getting from premium to be benefit from the training time.

Ok follow ur logic now, but still, what’s point of the 100 reserves, now? to me it seems redundant, can not get random troops to fill 100 reserves?.

Yeah I got no idea about reserves either… plus of course they are a slot in hte squad progression too, to no good purpose :confused:

But I am sure that the XP bonus for premium will be even more important since it doubles the number of Bronze orders you get!!

Exactly.

I didn’t buy 2 years because I wanted to see what would happen with the academy update. I have 3 months still.

However players 100% need to be compensated for lost value in some way. I’m not asking for an unfair advantage because I don’t need it but you can’t sell a product then cut the value in half and expect people to just be okay with it.

I’m not sure if it is but that should be illegal.

Either lower the price or add 2 things to make up for what was removed.

This just feels like Darkflow wants to push paying players away.

First they nerfed premium squads long ago for no reason which didn’t solve anything and all the trash that complained they were OP, have quit the game shortly after the nerf, the only ones that remained are the ones that said they are fine.

Now they nerfed the premium account so instead of paying $15 for 100% exp, +2 squads, and x2 academy and reserve size, you’re paying $15 for 100% exp and +2 squads.

Does darkflow even want our money? They seem to want the opposite.

It would be in this country, Australia, and i am sure Australian Gaming mob, the ones that ban games , ie rate games, ie 12+ 18+ R, G, M, etc, all those ratings would be, interested, of such practices.

Not that i could be bothered etc

First one i bought was at the 3990 Enlisted gold= roughly $40.00 USD , then 2nd at 2800 Enlisted gold= roughly $28.00 USD
So the first i spent USD=$49.99, add $20.00 to turn it into USD from AUD.

That left me 2260 Enlisted gold, blow that quite quickly :stuck_out_tongue:

Then for 2nd, i payed USD $24.99 add $11.00 to turn into USD from AU

So how you get $15.00 from is a bit off :stuck_out_tongue:

For those who think new players wont spend money, well they do when there happy, not happy atm at false advertising, and deceitful promos, knowing it will end three days after the sale.

Ofc Gaijin/Devs/DF wouldn’t miss me at all, as its not much i spend, compared to others, but if that’s there attitude, can see this game, going a long way (cough cough)
