User blog comment:Antigone sucks/Is VC dying?/@comment-8642280-20141020111357

Personally, I think Valkyrie Crusade is dying, but depends on a certain month on how good/bad it is in terms of it's Ranking Rewards. When Pup and Antigone were known to be (both) 2 proc only, many, many people started quiting. In terms of the repitition I agree that it is getting really boring, and Nubee have been very mindless of creativity (with the exception of Akkeyjin's awesome produce of art though imo :3).

As it was about to hit the middle of the year, on the sites where I visit vc-sites regularly, there were numerous statements made by people that the aw and faw were way too easy to defeat, and needed something to make vc slightly overall harder while also making the game more interesting. Also, always keep in mind that the overall strength in the playerbase is getting more and more stronger as each day passes. To what I thought, was Nubee's response about the weak aw/faw complaints took action, began in July 14, when Nubee implemented minions in the Dreamy Destination event'''. 'In another area of the game "due to the growing op-ness of the playerbase"'', they then began to limit the proc rates and proc limits of almost every single newly released card into the game. So it comes to no surprise really. In my opinion, "due to the growing op-ness of the playerbase" ultimately affects people by forcing players to adapt to obtainin weaker and weaker cards (while we wait for who knows what the hell is Nubee planning for the so called "Major Update" for more than a month now >.>;).

In a way, Nubee is trying to make both free and paying players on a equal playing field, referring to what I have said in the previous paragraph. Jewels are on the increase on cost, and even being less generous than they used to "...and leeching as much money from the players as possible." -LastOrder970.

Now.. there is one major, major proof that vc is dying '''A LOT. '''From Celebratory Summon (2mil Users Campaign) to Celebratory Summon (3mil Users Campaign) it took about a month to get 1 million more players. Then from Celebratory Summon (3mil Users Campaign) to Celebratory Summon (4mil Users Campaign) it took 2 months. And now from Celebratory Summon (4mil Users Campaign) to Celebratory Summon (5mil Users Campaign) just touching 3 months. This clearly shows a decrease in the speed of how popular Valkyrie Crusade is gaining. If this trend continues, 6 million players will hit around Feburary next year...

Overall, I think vc definetly needs improvement, or else at this rate, people who spend a lot of money to enjoy this video game will realize that this video game is a humongous waste of time and effort. Every video game has their beginnings and ends, but as an experienced gamer on PC, I don't want to see vc dying this early.
