a topshot update for those of you who left awhile ago
today they had packs we didn’t tell you about b/c they suck but that’s not the story here, the story again is absolute mass incompetence. now if you have been following you already know that but my god this whole month has been a shit show but this was just today.
free packs based on holding sets but they threw in a surprise (they love those surprises) with this that nobody could really figure out because it didn’t make sense for everyone though we suspected full team sets got a pack instead they announced that S2 set holders got a free pack, except it took them an hour to finally figure out that yes, indeed it was full set holders and it was a communication issue which idk how the hell that is possible but whatever we’ve known all along everyone just does their own thing and not give a shit. This created hours of mass confusion in the discord. Also how the hell did that take an hour.
meanwhile that team set bonus, the snapshot for that was taken 12 hours after the previous pack drop which included new cards for teams on that drop so I’m sure people are gonna find out that’s why they missed and I’m sure that’ll go over well
meanwhile, again all these packs sucked, the best player in the set is westbrook with a bunch of players nobody wants and nobody wants the westbrook but they were +EV but you didn’t want it and it wasn’t enough $ to care or waste your time.
They bottlenecked yet another shitty card in a challenge to go to 50 from 9 for no reason and also the reward isn’t gonna be worth 40 bucks.
oh that’s not all, so there’s a trade tickets for S1 packs tomorrow that people needed to buy 350 shitty cards for on the marketplace (even less fun than that sounds), but they of course, somehow managed to shut it down before the deadline, so after people got airdropped a ton of packs and some could acquire a lot of trade tickets for free they re opened it for an hour, same hour literally everything else was happening. This upset some people because it’s not guaranteed to get a pack in the queue, after you spent at a minimum $700 to get in with no other way to blow that many trade tickets other than guaranteed losing money or waiting and just hoping you get the next one.
It’s hard to believe anyone could intentionally fuck this up as much as they do. The above was all just today.
This all happened just after so much stupid shit happened they apologized for it and said they’d hire people and it would never happen again from now on and that was a bunch of shit after they had to refund a bunch of people $100 after they flat out lied about the fandom set not having a super rare bottleneck (which came out of complete nowhere, all of the previous like 10 challenges were easy then they threw that one in, also they stated that said set would not have a hard bottleneck, which was edited to say otherwise a few days before they threw it in which absolutely nobody noticed because that original post was a month before)
If I went back just to find all the things this week, would be at least twice as long as this post, that’s how bad it’s been.
cliff notes are topshot is still a non stop clown show top to bottom
edit–oh there’s MORE today, if you complete the new set it says S4 (we’re in S3)
normally that typo would be minor but it happens every day and yes it’s insane it does
