Marco Polo 3rd Anniversary Event

[LordAnubis]

Lets start the thread early.

Not only is Marco offerring garbage but now he only comes once a week. It used to be twice a week.

This 3rd Anniversary "prize" is Marco garbage at a "50%" discount. The discount cant even be called a discount since his prices fluctuate wildly every time. How can this even be a prize for the event if you will have to spend crowns to get it?

Im offering 10k crowns to the first player who kills Marco.

The last level must be getting more money for _______?

Well, they say time is money, so the last level must give us more time on our upgrades!

 

[Hyhyhy]

I'm pretty sure Marco Polo was always showing once a week...

 

[LordAnubis]

Like your past comments on topics you are very wrong.

 

[Mcnasty]

That would be the best prize ever

 

[LordStark263AC]

I believe he used to show up every 3 days or so

 

[Mcnasty]

He’ll be back. They always come back. Kinda like herpes. Sometimes you get lucky and they don’t show up for weeks, other times they brake out every couple of days. Marco polio is just the games version of a flea market

 

[pckrn]

i remember thinking after the first few times, ‘well he’s not so random, he’s just a weekend trader.’ so it must have been once a week in the beginning. i do remember him coming more often when there was a special event-visit going on but that wasnt a regular thing

 

[T4TiFooS]

I cant understand the difference between regular offers that pop ups in the home screen and offers from Marco !
why shouldn't remove on of them and offers in the other one ?
since Marco picked wrong way he became a trash !
and with this anniversary we lost our hope that finally he will walk in the right way again...
anniversary proved there is no longer any hope with Marco !

 

[rising_meatball]

Flea market? More like a highway robbery here.

 

[Blaster Maximus]

Very good call LordAnubis, Marco is as rotten as usual lately. Not even a single! crown offer for some "gift". I am not feeling any love from Nexon for the 3 year anniversary. Would it really ruin your business model to give away something? How about an oil increase for a week?

Unfortunately my whole alliance has lost faith in Marco, which means rubies are effectively useless. This has impacted our wars...when you consider the loot you receive minus the investment for filling the bases, troop tactics etc, they really aren’t worth it anymore. Players are opting out and just doing PvP attacks. Can threaten to kick them out, but I can’t really blame them. Marco’s troop chest made it worthwhile, but that is gone, and even the guys who regularly buy crowns are no longer doing so, or at least not on Marco...

 

[mkm1g15]

Rubies are one of the biggest gimmicks this game has.

For someone who is essentially a trader, there's just one trade possible this week.

Next Week they'll probably add two trades and expect people to shut up, or offer 4-6 troop chest and keep it invisible for another month or two.

Nexon fire your accountants and employ some better game developers.

Pay2Win won't make it possible to have a fourth year anniversary.

Cheers,

[LordAnubis]

I called it! He's back and there is no G@d Da%n 50% discount offer..

oh wait there is...50% less selection and 50% less quality. 200 rubies for sh!@ty Marine army and everything else is full crown price.

Not even so much as an NTG exchange offer.

 

[Mat 3 BloodyBarons]

Again and again Marco Polo is bad, hummmm like the up coming event, please Nexon do something better

Not to say that Marco is "good" this week, but I believe the crown prices are half of what they usually charge. Single troop cards are often 200 crowns (sometimes more I believe), and they are 100 this week.

 

[Dan-O]

from the day he started i always remember him coming from thursday - sunday each week, but anubis coullllld be right, my memory sucks

 

[LordAnubis]

BeerMan exactly. The prices fluctuate from week to week and from offer to offer so there is no way to really know the true discount.

If this was pulled by a retailer it would be classified as unethical if not illegal.

This is their way of getting around the idds requirement of China and Apple. Just randomly throw sht offers up with even more random prices. The effect is the sane as a chest.
