Yeah I have been wondering about a few changes or glitches. 50 tokens is like why even give me tokens. Smfh complete BS. How the F are people supposed to earn 6k tokens to buy cards they want?
It hurt all players. Mid spending players are getting punished hard for having most of the cards. Also let's say a player has only Darkhawk. He could theoretically pull him everytime he opens a spotlight cache and get trash 700g variant for a card no one plays.

The duplicate/mystery variant problem is such an issue because, 25% of the time, you’re opening a very valuable spotlight cache just to get rewards that feel even worse than the old system. That has to change asap.
@@AtomicBananana the Season pass should provide 100% of the money they need. The new system is still loot box garbage disguised as a gourmet meal. and still nothing has been done to speed up the slog that is acquiring Series 3 cards for new players. Unless the rate you collect cards speeds up at the same rate cards are added the game is going suffer even more.
@@ceepuck1511 the system is designed for whales to be able to spend a dumb amount of money each week on caches, it's doing what it was designed to do. This was the plan from the beginning with nexus events, they won't change it
@@AtomicBananana”they won’t change it” They’ve literally changed the system multiple times already so why would you believe this is the one that’s just staying the way it is? I am an actual whale and there’s no way this system will stay exactly how it is because it will piss off the whales. This just increased the cost for people that are already spending a lot. I’ve bought the bundles, but I’ve never needed to also buy credits on top of that. This new method would require me to do both and that’s outrageously expensive. Their whole “this isn’t P2W” is absolutely tone deaf and I’d honestly take it further and say idiotic. This will be changed in some kind of way because this new method will cause people to quit the game.
I feel like the main reason why the bad aspects of the spotlight caches are only bad because they did such a drastic cut to token and gold acquisition. It's the only reason why I stopped opening after I got burned with, like Cozy, baby Angela 🙄. I got the cards I wanted and it was great. Then that happened and it was a total slap in the face. Got to give it to Second Dinner. They found a way to slip a total FU into something that was a great idea.
Fr man. In my opinion the previous system was just fine. We used to get good amount of tokens, golds, other cosmetics and that was just fine. I always had enough tokens to buy something from the shop and it was just alright
As a season vet, when I opened my spotlight cache and pulled spiderman99 and then converted it to a bad jubilee variant I can confirm, I was very very unhappy.

Im pretty disappointed with the spotlight caches. Its primarily the absolute lack of tokens for me, which removed the ability to target my favourite card once or twice a month. They cited "too pay to win" for the reason why duplicates from spotlight caches were a thing, the same day they release a 7500 gold bundle with 6000 tokens. I have lost all respect for the dev team behind my favourite mobile game.
@@ricardocancino7280 Absolutely agree. It should be higher than that even, maybe averaging 3000 per month so you can eventually get those cards the spotlight caches dont address for many months. My biggest complaint of course is the random variant from a duplicate card. Like... What
Before this new system you got enough tokens to buy an S5, opened enough caches for 1-2 S4 pity pulls, and most importantly you had cards dropping to S3 every month. Now we have to wait weeks to target a card and even then you are gambling, if you miss out you have to save an entire season and hope it shows up again, all whilst getting no tokens and not enough gold to buy bundles. Feels bad man.
I got my Galactus out of a random collectors reserve. If I didn't have it yet with the new system, I'd have to wait however long until they want to put Galactus in the spotlight cache and save up 4 spotlight caches. Only other way I'd be able to get Galactus earlier is with tokens which they've greatly reduced now. Some people may have to wait months to get the one card they really want
I got Knull from a reserve and High Evo from the token shop, and they've been mainstays in the decks I run. I was hoping to target Thanos in the token shop next, but it looks like I won't be getting him anytime soon unless I get lucky with one of the upcoming spotlight caches...
@@caliburnabsolute8517 yeah, before you would've been able to save up the tokens for him in a bit over a month. Now you'd need to save tokens for 7.5 months. Or hope he's in the spotlight soon and save up 4 caches.
@@novak.r Yes they definetly need to be a little more generous with the collectors caches. If they want to make more money just sell more stuff. People will spend more when they feel like their winning
I own Knull and Living Tribunal. I had enough caches saved to open up 3 spotlight. First open was Knull, second was Living Tribunal and then the third was the mystery card: Kitty Pryde. A card that everyone literally received a few months ago. That cars then converted into a random variant: an ugly ass Thing variant. I play a lot and feel like this new system does not help out players who play a lot and have a lot of cards. I have not played a match of Snap since last Thursday. I hope they fix this or I will not be back.
Dude I understand but not playing because of this system is overreacting a little. There still is conquest and normal ladder that is still very fun. And this comes from someone who is f2p. I believe they will change it but not playing the game because of it when it’s not even as bad as people think it is is a little absurd. That’s just my opinion tho. I’m not gonna control what you want to do
I think maybe this is a good thing as there are so many video games that came out this year that I kind of ignored because of Snap grind. I started playing Octopath Traveler 2 and s1 of Diablo 4 is this week. I enjoy Snap a ton but maybe something like this was good to make me take a step back and do other things.
@@DataCon That’s actually a great point. Sometimes I go on a huge streak of a video game and then I just get bored. But once I come back to it it’s like it’s a new game all over again
From my understanding spotlight caches were presented as an additional way to get new cards, not a replacement for all other ways to get cards. They really were quiet about all the bad parts of the system
No, they weren't. SD clearly announced the reduction of all the other rewards, but all the streamers were like, "pay no attention to that, look at how cool THIS might be!" I've been sitting here bitching about it since the start, but nobody gave a damn until streamers told them to. Sheep...
@RetroMaticGamer this 💯💯💯💯💯. Anyone without rose color glasses on knew this system was going to suck from the get go. In a lot of ways it turned out even worste IMO than we imaged.
Spotlight caches might ruin the game. Several friends of mine already voiced their concerns for the very first time after this update. This new systems removes any choice from the player, except If hes a whale, or grinding every day through the entire month. And even then, you will miss several cards of the other Spotlight weeks, without any way to obtain them after, since you wont have enough Tokens to get them. Marvel Snap is officially part of the average mobile Gacha games and its really sad to see that the game headed in that direction.
I doubt it would ever happen but I love the idea of getting half the token value for the random card pull. Just being able to buy a new card in s4 every month is huge, that way you can save your Spotlights for another week.
nearly collection complete, but missing jean, tribunal, and knull. this set was perfect for me. opened my one cache i got in the week and rolled my random S4/5 into nebula (already owned), which then rerolled into an agatha variant 😢
You fully nailed the random card pull issues with Spotlight caches. I pulled Jean Grey on first pull and then walked away because I had the other cards and I wasn't risking some shitty already owned card. But if ti was a guaranteed mystery series 4/5 that I didn't have or a ultimate variant, I would've for sure pulled all four if it meant I got another missing card from my collection.
I absolutely love Jean Grey, tons of creative deck building that hasn’t been explored yet and she just feels really good to use. I’ve been trying out kingpin with her to pull cards out of her lane with Magneto and invisible Woman and it’s surprisingly really effective. Aero definitely is underrated with her, another great episode much ❤
I’m mostly F2P, only Season Pass, decided to stop spending on it after I could only open one spotlight and it was a galactus that turned into baby daredevil 🙃🔫
Post is big in the MTG community, so really not surprised to see him playing snap. A lot of MTG content creators were talking up the game for a while (that's what got me to start playing)
I used to care about hitting infinite consistently but now i couldn't care less i honestly just want to use cards i find fun or just use unused cards i even split Crystal like 10+ times off the top of my head and i honestly just want Legion and his spotlight variant then im saving my spotlights for until October card leaks and only then im picking up unused trash cards cuz i like getting insane splits on cards you wouldnt expect
some months back i said many times, giving 1 S3 for free and remove them from shop is RLY bad... it was... than they made another shit with changing shop, and rewards etc... now they do this. i will NOT recommend this game for new players, because there is not catch up mechanic for new ppl. if you realease 4 card a month and you cant get at least 2 every month.. there is no point for you to play. ugly to say but this is reality
@@DonShotta24 i will because its waste of time for them now, they remove another thing thats help you to complete S3. and pushing it onyl in shop to buy Darkhark for 40€ or sh*t like that. its MENTAAAAAAAAAAAAAL btw another bad thing is if you buy some S3 variant in shop, YOU DONT HAVE BASIC VARIAN, so its fak up your Caches and you wasting another one. why they cant give you free basic card if you buy varian from shop?
As a F2P I prefer the old system as it was more beneficial to acquire good amounts of tokens or gold to help me keep up with the new cards release, The closest I've been is 12 cards down in the whole collection, With the new system, F2P are able to only acquire one Spotlight cache a week, meaning that chasing cards in general is going to be even harder for us. Hopefully the system will get tweaked a bit.
A change I'd like to see is when you open a Spotlight cache you get a token, then the weekly set of cards is on a tab in the shop and you can spend the tokens to gain one card in the same random way. Saves scrolling around the collection track and any accidental open, maybe makes it feel slightly less like hoarding
They want you to spend money on credits so won't make it that easy to get what you want. They are trying to get whales to spend as much money as possible to go up 80-90 ranks a week to get 3-4 spotlight caches.
Well said about the spotlight cache system gentlemen. I particularly liked what Cozy said first that it should really just be cosmetics they're selling. But in regards to the current system, the mystery spotlight needs tokens and the reserves need more tokens.
Mysterio is not the main issue with Bounce. It is definitely mostly Kitty with a bit of blood on Hit Monkey, but nowhere close as Kitty. She makes the hard "cap" that Angela has almost nonexistent, without relying on bounce cards like Beast and/or Falcon, and also gives extra power to Bishop by giving you a cheap replayable card.
I think another issue at least for me is how spaced out they are, like I was lucky to get even one spotlight cash this week and I just don’t logically see myself getting a second one so this week my only spotlight pull was a duplicate I already had. If they were a bit closer to each other I think that could also improve the enjoyment of them and possibly get rid of the need to hoard. Idk tho that’s just my idea
@@brad4613 that’s still not much better tbh, out of the 4 cards/variants you get 2 of em(one possibly being a huge dud or a duplicate). Yes it’s rng and it’ll always be rng, but it makes it feel like hoarding or buying credits is the only way to guarantee what you want. By spacing them out better you wouldn’t have to do either
@@brad4613 "Grind more" lmaoooo not everyone has that much time on their hands. I've been playing daily and got all the missions done and barely scrapped in time for one cashe.
@@Daltoniss i barely have time either but i still get it done especially with conquest you can literally make decks for missions and not worry bout losing or anything just put all the cards you need for missions in one deck you can usually get em all done in one game
Yeah i feel you on that but thats why i also feel like you gotta give up some weeks ya feel me like im giving up this week cuz echo seems like shit but by next week for legion ill have 4 caches i just got my second rn
The number 1 culprit in Bounce is Kitty IMO, and most specifically how she dodges Kill Monger. She grows in power while simultaneously giving up priority, which is very hard to deal with.
Kitty is not the issue. Kitty is a 1 cist that makes u spend 6 energy and play behind the curve the whole game to pull the power. They need to target the other cards in bounce not there only S5 available, it's supposed 2 B good, hit the lower S 123 cards to nerf the deck but don't kill it, it's really ridiculous to me people R crying about the 1 powerful card bounce has , & I don't even play bounce! The other archetypes have SO MANY power cards it's rediculousness , they need to make Hit monkey +1 not +2
@@jeffsenecal4168 Speaking of kitty pryde, spending 6 energy for it actually makes it a 6 cost card. A 6 cost that has 12 power. Sounds familiar? Its a freaking hulk.😀😀 Just instead of slamming 6/12 in one turn, we get to build that up over time. High evo hulk in that sense is actually 12/22. for every +2 we need to spend 1 energy and turn 6 it takes 6 energy. But who cares about all this effort, everyone just shouts, "NERF!NERF!NERF!" Edit: sorry. kitty pryde is actually 6/10 if you play her each turn
I'm pool 3 complete, I bought every single battle pass since I started playing (after the beta) and I was very happy with the amount of gold and tokens you got from the reserves, token tuesdays were also very helpful. I even spend a few Euros on some extra gold to get the TT deals. Eventually, I was able to buy all the Spiderverse cards, then this update dropped and safely targeting new cards is virtually gone now. One spotlight cache every 10 collectors reserves is too expensive, I was only able to open one (yes, I do all my daily and weekend missions) and "only" got the Knull variant wich I really didn't care about, even Living Tribunal would've been fine (thankfully Nick Fury is good now). I don't like the new economy changes at all and agree with the points Cozy ans Alex made for improvement.
Exactly, I play since November and I'm only buying the season pass so far (and the 3.5$ starter pack lol), and I agree that the game feels ok until you complete pool 3, then it's "pay to feel anything new". I can still play with the decks I'm winning with, but with no new cards (maybe 2 per month? not including SP) and no meaningful progression (gold and tokens gone from collection rewards) means it's getting really stale. I'd rather spend my gold on Artgerm variants, than dump 7k on a bundle worth of ONE card (maybe even less, bundles have become really bad).
This is basically where I'm at too, I was in a good spot were I felt I could target the cards I wanted and now that is all gone. I have too hope for RNG too get anything I want because I surely won't be able too open enough caches each week too get all the cards and variants. I saw one streamer that thought it was a better system and he said that if you criticized it you would get banned from commenting on his videos, lol.
On paper they seemed like a cool idea but it feels just as much like a grind as it did before the update. They really want this game to be a grind and it feels like we can never get a good balance of getting more than 1-2 cards a week and grinding so hard you’d think you’re playing tony hawk. Edit: I’m sure you can get tons of reserves if you play hundreds of games a week but thats just not feasible for the average person. Needing a chart to know how many games you need to play a day is….a problem.
The one thing I will say as I do agree with everything yous have said is, I don't have many series 4 or 5 cards and I only opened one spotlight got the random card and got a dark hawk that I didn't have so it does help newer players, however I'm also addicted play multiple hours a day and have only gotten 1 and won't get another this week, if they make credits more accessible to upgrade cards it would be a massive improvement
Great ep guys 👍good to see you guys raising the issues that need addressing, iv been playing since launch and find myself just grinding the dailys at the moment , they need more unlocks of substance for the higher collection level players 👊
I'll be opening caches this week. I'm not super hyped about Echo, but I still need both Iron Lad and Kang, so I figure this week isn't too bad to open. After that I think I'll be saving til either X-23 or September releases.
Kang was by far my biggest regret on buying. I use him in less decks than 90% of the cards in the game, so I feel like he’s just terrible. Even when I’ve used him I just end up wanting to replace him with something that works better in the deck. So I hope you pull Iron Lad lol, because he’s awesome. I think I’m saving my caches all the way until next Season Pass. I have enough collectors tokens to get Legion and Mirage, so I think I’ll get them and just hold the caches until Lady Deathstrike because I also really want that Stature variant.
Imo, of the Spotlight Cache variants, this week is probably, on balance, the one with the best looking variants. All 3 variants look incredible. Unfortunately, with how insanely hard it is to get cards in general, there isn't really a way I can justify getting any spotlight variants on purpose.
My spotlight cache experience is terrible so far. As a free to play player I saved and went thru the track to open the cache and I got confused as I received darkhawk, which I already bought with tokens…., and instead received a pixel Mr sinister skin…. I hate pixel skins….. I feel cheated
Dude.... These graphics and visuals! Like the gambit one at the beginning... Really good work! I suggest when there are such good graphics don't hesitate to milk it a bit and hover longer so we can appreciate it more without having to pause! 😅
It took me 3 pulls to get her. I liked the other two variants I got that week, but would have been nice to pull her first pull, and save the Caches for later.
What I hate the most is how they sneakily introduced the concept of pulling duplicates into the game. And the conversion of them is a slap in the face. It should be AT LEAST 1000 tokens, if not 2-3000.
Yes shows u how smart they are to pull the wool over the entire communities eyes including content creators who were there asking questions. There very smart bravo... Keep pissing people off.....
@@jeffsenecal4168 And they're like "oh the negative feedback is just because people tend to react negatively to changes, we'll wait a few weeks to see how it really works" bruh...
Didn't expect you guys to be so vocal on the new changes. I stopped playing and I was curious on your take on these unpopular changes thinking you'd take SD's side as always. Kudos to you.
I think the biggest negative is the massive spacing out of the spotlight caches. It feels like they are too far apart to really be attainable, especially when they reset weekly.
I was recently playing a discard/destroy hybrid list to shake things up for myself and then Cozy releases his new cards coming video and I lost my mind. Let's, fucking, go!
46:38 Bingo. This. I almost quit this game this week because it felt too much like gambling. My first plchest was tribunal variant...then a tribunal card that got converted. I really wanted this Jean Variant, but after making the gamble of getting her with all other rewards claimed, I got hit with a variant for a card I didn't use. That felt bad. Delete the app bad. They need to make this change that new variants don't show up til the weeks cards have been exhausted
Completely agree on the bad and the ugly. I got a 700g bishop variant after rolling ironlas and converting. Felt like an insult. I would feel ok with half value in tokens, as you suggested. Mystery premium variants felt like they were going to be the low, but then that happened. I think your mystery variant should be 1200g minimum or one of the featured variants... I would be happy if they fixed this I think.
I would love if they do these 2 changes. 1.) make it able to get 2 spotlight caches each week 2.) get gold back to its original amount. That’s it perfect.
Ravonna Renslayer looks like my new favorite piece of Mister Negative support. Getting Iron Man and Arnim Zola out for cheaper, even without the Neg, is a huge credit to the MN/Jane Foster combo.
The way Bounce avoids having priority and how much power it delivers on turn 6 is crazy that it lasted longer than HE. HE often takes priority making itself vulnerable to counters. By the time your Cyclops and Abom hit the board you're generally rolling into turn 6 with no way to throw priority (unless you play Ghost for some reason...)
I'm so glad you mentioned the gold. I honestly don't think that SD listens too much to the players on discord vs content creators. My only real gripe with the system is gold being removed and the 50-100 tokens in the collector's caches. They've literally completely devalued them.
So I'm in the space where I have 6ish S5 / S4 to go. For series 3 folks the changes may be more beneficial but I kinda figured this is that the new system would screw me over. I hoped I would be wrong but, well .... here we are. My gripes: 1) I have to hoard caches until SD decides to put cards I need into the spotlights. Only to engage in extra layers or RNG shenanigans. 2) The pace of new card releases is going to far out run my capacity to keep up when they are spread so far apart. And the alternative methods have been nerfed. Why are variants even part of the collection track? I've always felt that variant acquisition part of the split system.
Cozy and Alex, I really appreciate the dynamic and the info that you guys share here. Regarding Collector's Reserve, as a player that's still in pool 3, I love it when I get a card drop. Getting credits and tokens feels ok, I wish that the amounts at time of drop were guaranteed to be higher and less low amount stuff, but it's all rng anyway. That said, personally, getting an avatar out of a collector's reserve kinda stinks. Keep up the great work and awesome content.
I'm S3 complete and have most of the S4/5 cards. I'm still grinding for: Jeff, Jean Grey and a few others that I can't remember right now. But getting to each Spotlight Cache has been a struggle. I feel like I need to dump money into the game moreso than any other time in the past. It's not been positive so far. But we'll see
When the update happened i was 2 points above a spotlight cache (that was an already opened cash) so i still havent even been able to make it to open one. The fact that you get no sort of reward for caches missed along the way, and they were already predetermined spots on the ladder was THE stupidest thing of all time
Remember these weeks are also for new players, my son will be pumped to get Knull since he just started a few weeks ago. They are probably listening to the new player crowd who missed out and feeding that.
Another great snapchat, as usual. Great job guys! I couldn't agree more with how bad that 1 in 4 duplicate feels. I like the spotlight variants and love the great accessibility to new cards but damn that 1 in 4 dumpster fire just sucks the fun right out of those caches and swaps it for the stress of please don't be the mystery one!
Quality > Quantity. I rather have 1 or 2 cards less but being able to choose exactly what card I get and WHEN I get it. In this new system I have to wait for weeks for the card(s) I want and I cannot miss it. Then if I'm unlucky I'm able to get a lot of other cards/variante but then I don't have more spotlights for the next card I wanted to get.
100% right about the Random 4/5 cache. If you have a reasonably large 4/5 collection then you are almost certainly getting garbage from that Spotlight Cache. Cozy's suggestion of a large token drop is spot on; at least then you can plan to buy something good from the shop after opening a couple of those. That one change would make Spotlight Caches nearly perfect as a system. As it stands, I pulled a Domino variant that I'm never going to use!
I could see a world in which they should upgrade the season passes by adding collector tokens to it and improving the season caches. I think making the season pass overall more attractive is great for their economy as it's predictable income vs variants or bundle that simply might not appeal. Don't understand their marketing & sales there: you can easily get a customer spending 10$ a months over years, but asking them to spend 30$ once can be such an immense psychological barrier.
I just hate the randomness. Wish we could choose what we want. I bought Jean and was really hoping to get the art germ variant but I got the knull variant and wasn't able to reach another spotlight cache
I got lucky and pulled Negasonic, (which i didn't have) and then Jean Grey - so I stopped there because I am F2P and have been saving since this was announced. Your idea of putting in half the tokens is brilliant!
Don’t let Bad Spotlight cache RNG distract you from the fact that Alex put Tigers in D tier.

Fr man. In my opinion the previous system was just fine. We used to get good amount of tokens, golds, other cosmetics and that was just fine. I always had enough tokens to buy something from the shop and it was just alright
As a season vet, when I opened my spotlight cache and pulled spiderman99 and then converted it to a bad jubilee variant I can confirm, I was very very unhappy.
They really have to change that 25% random pull.
@@sunwookim5046 nothing in the game has felt as bad as hitting the 25% except maybe being told 5 times I lost my conquest run.
@@mbrown7325I've opened 3 spotlight caches and didn't hit it once yet 😅
when cashes went online i had to climb the full level to get the cashe , i spend like 1300 gold on quests and all my resources just to get one chashe... i want the grey so much and i have all the rest .. i roll kitty pride duplicate that gets transformed to 700 gold pixel ... gg

Thank you guys for addressing the Spotlight Cache situation. I was really worried that UA-camrs might be silent on this.
Im pretty disappointed with the spotlight caches. Its primarily the absolute lack of tokens for me, which removed the ability to target my favourite card once or twice a month. They cited "too pay to win" for the reason why duplicates from spotlight caches were a thing, the same day they release a 7500 gold bundle with 6000 tokens. I have lost all respect for the dev team behind my favourite mobile game.
50 tokens in a CR feels so awful. 100 minimum at least, please.
The hardest thing to design and balance in games like this is the monetization.
@@ricardocancino7280100 is still way too little. It still took like a month or more of regular play to get 6000 tokens before
@@ricardocancino7280 Absolutely agree. It should be higher than that even, maybe averaging 3000 per month so you can eventually get those cards the spotlight caches dont address for many months. My biggest complaint of course is the random variant from a duplicate card. Like... What
Before this new system you got enough tokens to buy an S5, opened enough caches for 1-2 S4 pity pulls, and most importantly you had cards dropping to S3 every month. Now we have to wait weeks to target a card and even then you are gambling, if you miss out you have to save an entire season and hope it shows up again, all whilst getting no tokens and not enough gold to buy bundles. Feels bad man.
I got my Galactus out of a random collectors reserve. If I didn't have it yet with the new system, I'd have to wait however long until they want to put Galactus in the spotlight cache and save up 4 spotlight caches. Only other way I'd be able to get Galactus earlier is with tokens which they've greatly reduced now. Some people may have to wait months to get the one card they really want
I got Knull from a reserve and High Evo from the token shop, and they've been mainstays in the decks I run. I was hoping to target Thanos in the token shop next, but it looks like I won't be getting him anytime soon unless I get lucky with one of the upcoming spotlight caches...
@@caliburnabsolute8517 yeah, before you would've been able to save up the tokens for him in a bit over a month. Now you'd need to save tokens for 7.5 months.
Or hope he's in the spotlight soon and save up 4 caches.
@@novak.r Yes they definetly need to be a little more generous with the collectors caches. If they want to make more money just sell more stuff. People will spend more when they feel like their winning
I own Knull and Living Tribunal. I had enough caches saved to open up 3 spotlight. First open was Knull, second was Living Tribunal and then the third was the mystery card: Kitty Pryde. A card that everyone literally received a few months ago. That cars then converted into a random variant: an ugly ass Thing variant. I play a lot and feel like this new system does not help out players who play a lot and have a lot of cards. I have not played a match of Snap since last Thursday. I hope they fix this or I will not be back.
Dude I understand but not playing because of this system is overreacting a little. There still is conquest and normal ladder that is still very fun. And this comes from someone who is f2p. I believe they will change it but not playing the game because of it when it’s not even as bad as people think it is is a little absurd. That’s just my opinion tho. I’m not gonna control what you want to do
I think maybe this is a good thing as there are so many video games that came out this year that I kind of ignored because of Snap grind. I started playing Octopath Traveler 2 and s1 of Diablo 4 is this week. I enjoy Snap a ton but maybe something like this was good to make me take a step back and do other things.
@@DataCon That’s actually a great point. Sometimes I go on a huge streak of a video game and then I just get bored. But once I come back to it it’s like it’s a new game all over again
Honestly at this point SD are the masters of the one step forward two steps backwards duke
please increase 50 tokens to 100, 50 just sounds so petty 😭
From my understanding spotlight caches were presented as an additional way to get new cards, not a replacement for all other ways to get cards. They really were quiet about all the bad parts of the system
No, they weren't. SD clearly announced the reduction of all the other rewards, but all the streamers were like, "pay no attention to that, look at how cool THIS might be!" I've been sitting here bitching about it since the start, but nobody gave a damn until streamers told them to. Sheep...
@@RetroMaticGamer Thank god we have people like you who've got it all figured out.
@RetroMaticGamer this 💯💯💯💯💯.
Anyone without rose color glasses on knew this system was going to suck from the get go. In a lot of ways it turned out even worste IMO than we imaged.
Spotlight caches might ruin the game. Several friends of mine already voiced their concerns for the very first time after this update. This new systems removes any choice from the player, except If hes a whale, or grinding every day through the entire month. And even then, you will miss several cards of the other Spotlight weeks, without any way to obtain them after, since you wont have enough Tokens to get them. Marvel Snap is officially part of the average mobile Gacha games and its really sad to see that the game headed in that direction.
Even grinding players, there is a low limit on raising your Cl as a free player. Only whales can actually easy Farm caches
Even whales are leaving in droves. On reddit there is any overwhelming number of posts from people stating why they are leaving.
Spotlights can stay, but they need to give us back our tokens to add some agency again
I doubt it would ever happen but I love the idea of getting half the token value for the random card pull. Just being able to buy a new card in s4 every month is huge, that way you can save your Spotlights for another week.
Thanks a million Cozy and Alex for highlighting and calling out exactly what is wrong with the new system. Huge huge kudos to you guys for that 💪
nearly collection complete, but missing jean, tribunal, and knull. this set was perfect for me. opened my one cache i got in the week and rolled my random S4/5 into nebula (already owned), which then rerolled into an agatha variant 😢
I feel your pain brother.
You fully nailed the random card pull issues with Spotlight caches. I pulled Jean Grey on first pull and then walked away because I had the other cards and I wasn't risking some shitty already owned card. But if ti was a guaranteed mystery series 4/5 that I didn't have or a ultimate variant, I would've for sure pulled all four if it meant I got another missing card from my collection.
I absolutely love Jean Grey, tons of creative deck building that hasn’t been explored yet and she just feels really good to use. I’ve been trying out kingpin with her to pull cards out of her lane with Magneto and invisible Woman and it’s surprisingly really effective. Aero definitely is underrated with her, another great episode much ❤
I just got her this morning on my free to play account threw her in my zoo style deck. Haven't tried her yet but looking forward to using it.
New system makes me want to stop playing but you two keep me going.
I’m mostly F2P, only Season Pass, decided to stop spending on it after I could only open one spotlight and it was a galactus that turned into baby daredevil 🙃🔫
Alex isn't an animal hater. He is the KING OF SQUIRRELS
After hearing about you working at hotel, it feels proud to see you come this far as a content creator
Post is big in the MTG community, so really not surprised to see him playing snap. A lot of MTG content creators were talking up the game for a while (that's what got me to start playing)
Yeah not only MTG but a lot of games. He's a gamer at heart.
50% refund on duplicates is such a good idea. I would love this system if that was implemented.
as a degnereate Negative player I can't wait for Lady Deathstrike. 3 energy kill all minions below 5 sound like a powerful thing to do
I used to care about hitting infinite consistently but now i couldn't care less i honestly just want to use cards i find fun or just use unused cards i even split Crystal like 10+ times off the top of my head and i honestly just want Legion and his spotlight variant then im saving my spotlights for until October card leaks and only then im picking up unused trash cards cuz i like getting insane splits on cards you wouldnt expect
some months back i said many times, giving 1 S3 for free and remove them from shop is RLY bad... it was... than they made another shit with changing shop, and rewards etc... now they do this.
i will NOT recommend this game for new players, because there is not catch up mechanic for new ppl. if you realease 4 card a month and you cant get at least 2 every month.. there is no point for you to play. ugly to say but this is reality
I wouldnt mind a pool 3 to pool 2 drop for particular cards to enable new players to compete more quickly.
That’s just for you. Don’t dissuade people man
@@DonShotta24 i will because its waste of time for them now, they remove another thing thats help you to complete S3. and pushing it onyl in shop to buy Darkhark for 40€ or sh*t like that. its MENTAAAAAAAAAAAAAL
btw another bad thing is if you buy some S3 variant in shop, YOU DONT HAVE BASIC VARIAN, so its fak up your Caches and you wasting another one. why they cant give you free basic card if you buy varian from shop?
As a F2P I prefer the old system as it was more beneficial to acquire good amounts of tokens or gold to help me keep up with the new cards release, The closest I've been is 12 cards down in the whole collection, With the new system, F2P are able to only acquire one Spotlight cache a week, meaning that chasing cards in general is going to be even harder for us. Hopefully the system will get tweaked a bit.
Yeah I’m f2p too. I think it will get changed soon. Marvel snap is pretty good at understanding what their community wants
true! ;_; f2p players are taking a big damage with this update
Everytime I see Cozy I think of Olivier Giroud
The snapchat is always the best thing to put in my car on the way to the gym ! You guys are the best
A change I'd like to see is when you open a Spotlight cache you get a token, then the weekly set of cards is on a tab in the shop and you can spend the tokens to gain one card in the same random way. Saves scrolling around the collection track and any accidental open, maybe makes it feel slightly less like hoarding
They want you to spend money on credits so won't make it that easy to get what you want. They are trying to get whales to spend as much money as possible to go up 80-90 ranks a week to get 3-4 spotlight caches.
Well said about the spotlight cache system gentlemen. I particularly liked what Cozy said first that it should really just be cosmetics they're selling. But in regards to the current system, the mystery spotlight needs tokens and the reserves need more tokens.
Spotlight caches are indeed trash. Nobody wanted to have that hard talk about how they never looked good in the first place, but here we are
I agree with Alex that the collect reserves are hot garbage now.
I just stopped opening them. Feel better about the game without the collector’s reserves.
50 Collectors tokens feels so bad, you need 60x that to afford one series 4 card.
Post Malone loves Magic the Gathering too! Guy clearly enjoys his card games :D Great show, guys!
Mysterio is not the main issue with Bounce. It is definitely mostly Kitty with a bit of blood on Hit Monkey, but nowhere close as Kitty. She makes the hard "cap" that Angela has almost nonexistent, without relying on bounce cards like Beast and/or Falcon, and also gives extra power to Bishop by giving you a cheap replayable card.
Snap needs to watch this video. So much truth. Exactly how I feel with the caches now.
grinded my fist spot light cache and got the dope knull variant ❤
I think another issue at least for me is how spaced out they are, like I was lucky to get even one spotlight cash this week and I just don’t logically see myself getting a second one so this week my only spotlight pull was a duplicate I already had. If they were a bit closer to each other I think that could also improve the enjoyment of them and possibly get rid of the need to hoard. Idk tho that’s just my idea
Grind more as long as you make sure to do every mission you should at least get two a week minimum
@@brad4613 that’s still not much better tbh, out of the 4 cards/variants you get 2 of em(one possibly being a huge dud or a duplicate). Yes it’s rng and it’ll always be rng, but it makes it feel like hoarding or buying credits is the only way to guarantee what you want. By spacing them out better you wouldn’t have to do either
@@brad4613 "Grind more" lmaoooo not everyone has that much time on their hands. I've been playing daily and got all the missions done and barely scrapped in time for one cashe.
@@Daltoniss i barely have time either but i still get it done especially with conquest you can literally make decks for missions and not worry bout losing or anything just put all the cards you need for missions in one deck you can usually get em all done in one game
Yeah i feel you on that but thats why i also feel like you gotta give up some weeks ya feel me like im giving up this week cuz echo seems like shit but by next week for legion ill have 4 caches i just got my second rn
Best part of this podcast is how much Alex and Cozy seem to genuinely have fun. Keep it up!
First 2 spotlight cache... living tribunal and snow guard....I'm giving up on jean grey lol
Yes pulled Knull & LT it's ok
The number 1 culprit in Bounce is Kitty IMO, and most specifically how she dodges Kill Monger. She grows in power while simultaneously giving up priority, which is very hard to deal with.
Invisible woman and killmonger. You can almost guarantee they aren’t playing armor or enchantress
Yes and I absolutely love it. I don't want her to get nerfed 😥. You can hate me as much as you want since I am a bounce player but plz don't nerf her.
Kitty is not the issue. Kitty is a 1 cist that makes u spend 6 energy and play behind the curve the whole game to pull the power. They need to target the other cards in bounce not there only S5 available, it's supposed 2 B good, hit the lower S 123 cards to nerf the deck but don't kill it, it's really ridiculous to me people R crying about the 1 powerful card bounce has , & I don't even play bounce! The other archetypes have SO MANY power cards it's rediculousness , they need to make Hit monkey +1 not +2
@@jeffsenecal4168 Speaking of kitty pryde, spending 6 energy for it actually makes it a 6 cost card. A 6 cost that has 12 power. Sounds familiar? Its a freaking hulk.😀😀 Just instead of slamming 6/12 in one turn, we get to build that up over time. High evo hulk in that sense is actually 12/22. for every +2 we need to spend 1 energy and turn 6 it takes 6 energy. But who cares about all this effort, everyone just shouts, "NERF!NERF!NERF!"
Edit: sorry. kitty pryde is actually 6/10 if you play her each turn
I'm pool 3 complete, I bought every single battle pass since I started playing (after the beta) and I was very happy with the amount of gold and tokens you got from the reserves, token tuesdays were also very helpful. I even spend a few Euros on some extra gold to get the TT deals. Eventually, I was able to buy all the Spiderverse cards, then this update dropped and safely targeting new cards is virtually gone now. One spotlight cache every 10 collectors reserves is too expensive, I was only able to open one (yes, I do all my daily and weekend missions) and "only" got the Knull variant wich I really didn't care about, even Living Tribunal would've been fine (thankfully Nick Fury is good now). I don't like the new economy changes at all and agree with the points Cozy ans Alex made for improvement.
EXACTLY where I'm at too!
Exactly, I play since November and I'm only buying the season pass so far (and the 3.5$ starter pack lol), and I agree that the game feels ok until you complete pool 3, then it's "pay to feel anything new". I can still play with the decks I'm winning with, but with no new cards (maybe 2 per month? not including SP) and no meaningful progression (gold and tokens gone from collection rewards) means it's getting really stale. I'd rather spend my gold on Artgerm variants, than dump 7k on a bundle worth of ONE card (maybe even less, bundles have become really bad).
This is basically where I'm at too, I was in a good spot were I felt I could target the cards I wanted and now that is all gone.
I have too hope for RNG too get anything I want because I surely won't be able too open enough caches each week too get all the cards and variants.
I saw one streamer that thought it was a better system and he said that if you criticized it you would get banned from commenting on his videos, lol.
On paper they seemed like a cool idea but it feels just as much like a grind as it did before the update. They really want this game to be a grind and it feels like we can never get a good balance of getting more than 1-2 cards a week and grinding so hard you’d think you’re playing tony hawk.
Edit: I’m sure you can get tons of reserves if you play hundreds of games a week but thats just not feasible for the average person. Needing a chart to know how many games you need to play a day is….a problem.
The one thing I will say as I do agree with everything yous have said is, I don't have many series 4 or 5 cards and I only opened one spotlight got the random card and got a dark hawk that I didn't have so it does help newer players, however I'm also addicted play multiple hours a day and have only gotten 1 and won't get another this week, if they make credits more accessible to upgrade cards it would be a massive improvement
Great ep guys 👍good to see you guys raising the issues that need addressing, iv been playing since launch and find myself just grinding the dailys at the moment , they need more unlocks of substance for the higher collection level players 👊
I'll be opening caches this week. I'm not super hyped about Echo, but I still need both Iron Lad and Kang, so I figure this week isn't too bad to open. After that I think I'll be saving til either X-23 or September releases.
Same here.... I've regretted not buying Iron Lad for awhile so I'm excited for when he hits the rotation tomorrow.
yes, I am in the same boat ... ... and that's why the spotlight is an issue ... when you have more cards more of the weeks are less interesting.
Kang was by far my biggest regret on buying. I use him in less decks than 90% of the cards in the game, so I feel like he’s just terrible. Even when I’ve used him I just end up wanting to replace him with something that works better in the deck. So I hope you pull Iron Lad lol, because he’s awesome. I think I’m saving my caches all the way until next Season Pass. I have enough collectors tokens to get Legion and Mirage, so I think I’ll get them and just hold the caches until Lady Deathstrike because I also really want that Stature variant.
The Snap and celebrity banter killed me. You could see Alex wanted to crack up but was holding it back.
Pulled the Knull variant then Jean Grey in my 2nd Cache. Soo tempted to still pull for the Artgerm variant but will probably skip for now lol
I still feel like they should add 200-300 collectors tokens to the 25 mission weekly cache.
Thank u guys 4 standing with the community gr8 vid as always
I think I might be the only person who was wanting the living tribunal variant from this week’s spotlight cashe.
It's a cool variant for sure. For me personally, I don't like the idea of giving up a S4/S5 card for a variant, no matter how good the variant is.
Imo, of the Spotlight Cache variants, this week is probably, on balance, the one with the best looking variants. All 3 variants look incredible.
Unfortunately, with how insanely hard it is to get cards in general, there isn't really a way I can justify getting any spotlight variants on purpose.
My spotlight cache experience is terrible so far. As a free to play player I saved and went thru the track to open the cache and I got confused as I received darkhawk, which I already bought with tokens…., and instead received a pixel Mr sinister skin…. I hate pixel skins….. I feel cheated
Dude.... These graphics and visuals! Like the gambit one at the beginning...
Really good work! I suggest when there are such good graphics don't hesitate to milk it a bit and hover longer so we can appreciate it more without having to pause! 😅
I pulled Jean Grey on my first spotlight and after watching this weeks video I realize how lucky I got!
It took me 3 pulls to get her. I liked the other two variants I got that week, but would have been nice to pull her first pull, and save the Caches for later.
What’s absolutely insane about bounce is the fact that wave/sandman ramp does not wreck it…given my experience so far
It does unless you can't beat 9 power turn 6 and are already winning 1 lane
@@randomhero6365 I suppose my decks are still too slow. I try some good stat cards t1 and 2 but by t4 they already have priority in two lanes
Def gonna be running a Sauron deck this week. The people running Echo will be helping me out so much :)
I luckily got Jean on my one and only special cache this week. Definitely not going to make it to a second one before the week switches over.
What I hate the most is how they sneakily introduced the concept of pulling duplicates into the game. And the conversion of them is a slap in the face. It should be AT LEAST 1000 tokens, if not 2-3000.
Yes shows u how smart they are to pull the wool over the entire communities eyes including content creators who were there asking questions. There very smart bravo... Keep pissing people off.....
@@jeffsenecal4168 And they're like "oh the negative feedback is just because people tend to react negatively to changes, we'll wait a few weeks to see how it really works" bruh...
Didn't expect you guys to be so vocal on the new changes. I stopped playing and I was curious on your take on these unpopular changes thinking you'd take SD's side as always. Kudos to you.
I think the biggest negative is the massive spacing out of the spotlight caches. It feels like they are too far apart to really be attainable, especially when they reset weekly.
At most I can get 3 spotlight caches if I actually put more time in my week but I'll most likely get 1 a week or even 2 with just enough effort
Didn't know the spotlight caches for August were also datamined. Thanks for sharing that! Excited for the 8/8 week.
I was recently playing a discard/destroy hybrid list to shake things up for myself and then Cozy releases his new cards coming video and I lost my mind. Let's, fucking, go!
38:18 thanks to Educated Collins, I got the double dip!
Really good to see you discussing the spotlight system critically and constructively. Thanks
I’m happy with my newly acquired Knull variant, but I need my tokens and gold
46:38 Bingo. This. I almost quit this game this week because it felt too much like gambling. My first plchest was tribunal variant...then a tribunal card that got converted. I really wanted this Jean Variant, but after making the gamble of getting her with all other rewards claimed, I got hit with a variant for a card I didn't use. That felt bad. Delete the app bad.
They need to make this change that new variants don't show up til the weeks cards have been exhausted
Completely agree on the bad and the ugly. I got a 700g bishop variant after rolling ironlas and converting. Felt like an insult. I would feel ok with half value in tokens, as you suggested. Mystery premium variants felt like they were going to be the low, but then that happened. I think your mystery variant should be 1200g minimum or one of the featured variants... I would be happy if they fixed this I think.
I would love if they do these 2 changes.
1.) make it able to get 2 spotlight caches each week
2.) get gold back to its original amount.
That’s it perfect.
I’d prefer they upped the tokens tbh and sack the whole spotlight thing off I think it’s truly dreadful change
If I get Echo she is going to be a star in my Hella deck. Echo into Invisible Woman Modok Hella and as many high value cards as I can fit in my deck.
That Post Malone 4/20 card was hilarious. 😂
Ravonna Renslayer looks like my new favorite piece of Mister Negative support. Getting Iron Man and Arnim Zola out for cheaper, even without the Neg, is a huge credit to the MN/Jane Foster combo.
The way Bounce avoids having priority and how much power it delivers on turn 6 is crazy that it lasted longer than HE.
HE often takes priority making itself vulnerable to counters. By the time your Cyclops and Abom hit the board you're generally rolling into turn 6 with no way to throw priority (unless you play Ghost for some reason...)
I'm so glad you mentioned the gold. I honestly don't think that SD listens too much to the players on discord vs content creators. My only real gripe with the system is gold being removed and the 50-100 tokens in the collector's caches. They've literally completely devalued them.
So I'm in the space where I have 6ish S5 / S4 to go. For series 3 folks the changes may be more beneficial but I kinda figured this is that the new system would screw me over. I hoped I would be wrong but, well .... here we are.
My gripes:
1) I have to hoard caches until SD decides to put cards I need into the spotlights. Only to engage in extra layers or RNG shenanigans.
2) The pace of new card releases is going to far out run my capacity to keep up when they are spread so far apart. And the alternative methods have been nerfed.
Why are variants even part of the collection track? I've always felt that variant acquisition part of the split system.
31:17 amazing week for people that don't but season pass
Cozy and Alex, I really appreciate the dynamic and the info that you guys share here. Regarding Collector's Reserve, as a player that's still in pool 3, I love it when I get a card drop. Getting credits and tokens feels ok, I wish that the amounts at time of drop were guaranteed to be higher and less low amount stuff, but it's all rng anyway. That said, personally, getting an avatar out of a collector's reserve kinda stinks. Keep up the great work and awesome content.
I'm S3 complete and have most of the S4/5 cards. I'm still grinding for: Jeff, Jean Grey and a few others that I can't remember right now. But getting to each Spotlight Cache has been a struggle. I feel like I need to dump money into the game moreso than any other time in the past. It's not been positive so far. But we'll see
When the update happened i was 2 points above a spotlight cache (that was an already opened cash) so i still havent even been able to make it to open one. The fact that you get no sort of reward for caches missed along the way, and they were already predetermined spots on the ladder was THE stupidest thing of all time
Remember these weeks are also for new players, my son will be pumped to get Knull since he just started a few weeks ago. They are probably listening to the new player crowd who missed out and feeding that.
Another great snapchat, as usual. Great job guys! I couldn't agree more with how bad that 1 in 4 duplicate feels. I like the spotlight variants and love the great accessibility to new cards but damn that 1 in 4 dumpster fire just sucks the fun right out of those caches and swaps it for the stress of please don't be the mystery one!
50 collectors tokens is a slap in the face. Its getting flipped a nickle when your begging for a meal.
See you at comic con cozy!
Quality > Quantity.
I rather have 1 or 2 cards less but being able to choose exactly what card I get and WHEN I get it. In this new system I have to wait for weeks for the card(s) I want and I cannot miss it.
Then if I'm unlucky I'm able to get a lot of other cards/variante but then I don't have more spotlights for the next card I wanted to get.
100% right about the Random 4/5 cache. If you have a reasonably large 4/5 collection then you are almost certainly getting garbage from that Spotlight Cache. Cozy's suggestion of a large token drop is spot on; at least then you can plan to buy something good from the shop after opening a couple of those. That one change would make Spotlight Caches nearly perfect as a system. As it stands, I pulled a Domino variant that I'm never going to use!
I'd love to see rare emotes tbh
I could see a world in which they should upgrade the season passes by adding collector tokens to it and improving the season caches. I think making the season pass overall more attractive is great for their economy as it's predictable income vs variants or bundle that simply might not appeal. Don't understand their marketing & sales there: you can easily get a customer spending 10$ a months over years, but asking them to spend 30$ once can be such an immense psychological barrier.
My guy gave a shoutout to ZOO PALS!!!
I just hate the randomness. Wish we could choose what we want. I bought Jean and was really hoping to get the art germ variant but I got the knull variant and wasn't able to reach another spotlight cache
I got lucky and pulled Negasonic, (which i didn't have) and then Jean Grey - so I stopped there because I am F2P and have been saving since this was announced.
Your idea of putting in half the tokens is brilliant!
I was hyped to get X-23 but I already have Nebula and Silk. RIP me. Also really sad that the 2 Knull variants I wanted are spotlight variants.
Please remember that kitty does not cost one energy. That cards cost like 4 to 5 energy.
Right & she makes u play b hind the curve 2 B effective
