If you read my previous post on Sealed Mode you know that the amount of gods you were able to get was not plentiful, to say the least. But now they have revised it, let us take a look at how it is looking now.
The new rewards
I can only assume that the community at large was not too thrilled about the initial reward structure and started to let the Gods Unchained team know this. And the team changed the reward structure to a more generous $GODS reward. But let us take a look at it.
The new $GODS rewards allow players to "break-even" at 5 mins instead of 7 as was with the first one. If we compare the two we see that the first reward tire to change is with 4 wins. Now you will receive 7,5 gods instead of 6. And there are actually two tires now where you will earn gods, 6 and 7 wins. Whereas with the old one that was 7 wins only.
Let us take a look at how big of a $GODS sink this new play mode will be with the revised reward structure. On average players will get 3 wins, and there you still get 3 $GODS. Meaning you have "lost" 12 $GODS. This puts it at a 4:1 ratio. This only further cements that people will most likely not play this game mode to earn $GODS. But instead, I think the vast majority of players will play this to try and get the new expansion packs, and perhaps some cosmetics. That is more or less the only way you will be able to truly get more out then what you put in.
There is one last thing I would like to briefly mention, and that is the fact that a lot of the events and whatnot that the Gods Unchained team makes tends to be cleverly flawed. So to the extent that the community more or less forces them to change them. I mean just look at the "community event" that was held. While I understand why they did it the way they did, it was just completely baffling if they thought the community would not react to it. And the same I would argue is true here. What I fear is that it strategy they have adopted. The whole Give them shit and they will settle for crumbs. But as usual, it might just be making a hen out of a feather.
But I would love to hear what you make of this change, will you now play more? Or is it still same same for you? Please let me know in the comment section below.
