We are before temporary boosts with useful effects, but so expensive to activate. Let’s see:
“Battle Beacon: Recharge your battles at double speed” Yes, useful at kotms.
But useful at kotms for a few players and that few will be often quite strong forces that won’t need as many battles as they will own also a good amount of Hatorades. From my experience, I only needed something like this a few times. I certainly could have used it if the cost was dramatically lower.
2X Mech Repair: Your mechs will get special attention from technicians and repair faster than normal.
This is again, an expensive, so expensive boost. Is this useful? Only in two scenarios:
Raids close to the ending time and in danger to fail…
Battles in CW and FW also made in the edge of the ending time…
Only temptation for desperate players yet… But again, if the cost was really lower.
Coffee: Recharge your energy at double the normal speed
This is only useful for impatience people or in Raids in danger… Not likely was going to be so much used with its current cost.
Bioptics & Ferrite Sensor: The latest advancement in resource collection technology allows you to locate bioptics and ferrite with doubled efficiency. Collect at double normal rates.
Yes, this is useful when you ran short on resources and you are aiming to make missions or attack a lot of people because you were not afraid about the experience… But then, there are other ways to get FREE Crystal, ferrite and bioptics just investing some time doing the right things (aaaah…secrets… already published in other article) so, we fall before another expensive boost that might be a lot more used if its cost was way cheaper.
Overall, my opinion is that the Power Ups should have a cost ten times lower, and that could encourage to use the power ups to all the players who have an idea about the real cost of a Niode.
Right now, I believe power ups are an underused feature that might achieve $$$ to the developing team if their price was more appropriate for what is a temporary feature.
Simply, you can’t pretend that ten uses of battle beacon were equal to the cost of an Anubis!
But…
Make the power ups ten times cheaper, or as the suggested prices in the picture… (hey, Reggies approves!) and you might find the players using really more often those boosts and making the developers earning $$$.
