Miserly equipment

Happy-Haze

This subject has been a heavy & heated issue for quite sometime now.

There are a substantial number of players who are extremely dissatisfied & frustrated with the subpar camp equipment values versus the energy increases/requirements versus the "real money" costs involved to obtain more powerful camp equipment.

This the "Wonderful Wonderland" Special Event Pack I have been offered.

To me this is utterly ridiculous, disappointing, useless & over priced.

Actually here is another very good poll/survey point.....what I would like to see is build/create your own Special Event/Regional/God Packs.

Where the prices vary based on what you want in your Special Pack offering.

You should be able to choose from different grades of camp equipment (regeneration & capacity), event Special Items, gems, precious jewels/stones & region based materials/ingredients.....in any combinations or amounts thereof.

You could also offer energy & food items in there...for those players who want it....but personally I definitely would not be interested in those at all.

Ciao!
I bought this offer yesterday but my items were different.
I have not the original screenshot so I'll use one of my camp
200 gems
340 regen
3000 capacity
I don't remember the last 2

I'm in China, level 237

That's different and interesting.

We have 85 Gems instead of 500, and it costs 6.99 EUR = 10.75 AUD
1 EUR = 1.539 AUD 1 AUD = 0.64977 EUR (20210316)

On the Portal you pay 5.5 USD - they save the Google tribute.

My special offer - I'm in Greece.

The regen would add a few points, but the capacity isn't high enough to add value to Day Camp. My lowest Day Camp item is 3000 per slot. I am not buying this special offer. I don't want to spend money on a few hours' worth of food I can make myself in the kitchen. That's all the food is: a few hours' worth of work in-game. Even those items are stupidly valued. Put some real food amounts in there: like 100 Sea Soups - something that represents real time saved. Enough already with the cheapskate approach.

If you look at AllMenAreIslands camp equipment....his capacity equipment is called "Ordinary Surreal Clock"

Whereas my capacity equipment is called "Fancy Surreal Clock".

If you look very closely at them you can see the difference between the design of them both.

So there is different levels of camp equipment available in these Event/Special Weeks Packs.

I also believe that this is the same for the Regional/God Special Packs.

This is another reason why this information should be freely available & easily accessible on the relevant Wiki pages....instead of making players feel that "if you are not in the know then you miss out".....or that it's secret squirrel business 🐿️🌰🤫

If they try to make me buy food or energy with real money they already lost.

It is absolutely not worth it.

Maybe there are still newbies or people who urgently want to divorce from their money who really buy food or energy, there must be or pixel wouldn’t offer it?

I adjust my playtime already. As the reward, the highest event item, is improving my weakest one a little bit, it’s just ok and I will take it. But I play less and leave the game in night mode, because there is no big improvement achievable for my camp. No need to really dive into it.

Actually that’s not bad, I was submerged in diggy world quite too much 😉

AllMenAreIslands

MadameCurie yes, i'm starting to do that more - leave it in night mode. Play the energy, eat up my food. When it's all gone, i'll be done.

I am tired of asking for the developers to do the right thing with the equipment. This angst is not what I want to deal with, when this is supposed to be fun.

pixel_player_48622414

MadameCurie Agreed! It’s almost as if I hit a pay to play wall. I have 52,642 capacity and it doesn’t regenerate as fast as it should in my ridiculous opinion. Only 6,000 and change per hour regeneration. Can’t do much with that. I’m retired and enjoy this game; however not working for me so much anymore. I hate to get out of Scandinavia and do everything I can not to complete those because I know that regen and energy in my camp will never get me through when I hit China or any special events. I think I’m capped off. Any suggestions? By this time I would think that Pixel would be offering me regen equipment valued in thousands not 69 or 45. Kinda stinks.

They just keep pushing people away more and more. Gotten so greedy. Someone mentioned a buyout,anyone heard anything about that? Would explain some of what has been going on.

More about the special offer:
Pixel seems to offer different packages in different countries and -maybe- other criteria.
Up to now we know of 500 Gems in Australia, 200 Gems in Canada (and where Antonella lives) and 85 Gems in Central Europe.
Regeneration and capacity are according to the region.

And we have differences between Mobile- and PC-versions.
The portal offer is by far the best, but there's no form of payment I like.

pixel_player42224013 Up to now we know of 500 Gems in Australia, 200 Gems in Canada (and where Antonella lives) and 85 Gems in Central Europe.

The amount of gems depends on the price of the special pack.
Thus the 200 and 85 gems are something like $10 and $5, whereas my 500 gems is $20 US.
Nothing to do with countries.

I think it all depends on the prices of the Special Packs offered....kind of like the different Regional/God Special Packs.

There is a Wiki page in relation to the Regional/God Special Packs here

https://wiki.diggysadventure.com/index.php?title=Special_Regional_Packs

However I'm not sure if this is current information as there is nothing showing for Terra.

I would like to see all the various priced packs available for ALL the different Event/Special Weeks to also be accessible up-to-date information contained within the Wiki pages.

Maybe another good poll/survey question to be put forward to players.

I really think that numerous polls/surveys would capture the true picture from a players view in relation to what they would like to see implemented, changed, updated, removed &/or remain.

There was another conversation just recently here about these issues in relation to the Event/Special Weeks Packs

I live in Rome, Italy 😀 and sometimes I have 200 gems, others 85. According the amount of this, the offer is 9.9 USD (€ 8.59) or 5.5 USD (€ 4,79)
I hope it will be useful 😃

What I find a bit harsh is your 500 gems, camp equipment, food, energy, plus bonus 75 gems equates to approximately $25.60 AUD.

However my offer which is the same minus the bonus 75 gems costs $35.99 AUD.

So mine is $10 AUD more & no bonus 75 gems.

pixel_player42224013

Happy-Haze
Oh dear, I really forgot, I sent a mail to pixel support to define my style of special packs.
Years ago.
I'm sorry for causing confusion.

gamemaster

Happy-Haze
It is around $30 AUD, depending on exchange rate with the transaction.
You can always ask for a lower priced pack.

Happy-Haze So mine is $10 AUD more & no bonus 75 gems.

Bonus gems as advertised are through the portal.
Going through Facebook would be the same as yours, no bonus gems.

Happy-Haze

gamemaster

Is there an extra/additional transaction fee on top of the $19.99 USD?....other than the actual conversion rate?

But if I asked for a cheaper pack then it wouldn't it have less gems &/or weaker camp equipment?

It currently looks like my "Wonderful Wonderland" pack is equivalent to yours only with regional value differences....we both get 500 gems, 1 capacity item, 1 regeneration item, 5 lollipops & energy.

gamemaster

Happy-Haze
Yes, they are the same, seems that you pay more from the mobile for some reason as suggested.

Happy-Haze
Mine is called "Fancy Surreal Clock", in this link it breaks down the cost and equipment type you can get in the regional and God packs.

You have mentioned on other topics that you were a she. 😉

I want to chime in - basically I quit playing because New World (now Terra) wasn’t worth the effort. I have other Diggys in Egypt and Scandinavia; I have been playing my Scandinavia Diggy to get him to China lately.

It's all down to bad equipment and no worthwhile ways to get better. I was briefly hopeful with my St Patrick's Day offer, as it offered me more of the special item … but 4 short what I needed to get both top tier regeneration and capacity items for Scandinavia Diggy.

I assume if i'd gone to the trouble to ask for a more expensive pack, I may have gotten more of the green bow ties. But - and I am sad to say this - it wasn’t really worth the effort of writing to support.

I like @Happy-Haze's real money suggestions. Because I will absolutely never spend Actual Money on consumable items. I also am extremely unlikely to pay for the special event tier - again, the items offered aren’t worth that consistently high price point. For the record, I do not mind spending money on games - developers need support. But I want to feel as if I received something of value for the money I spend. For the past year+, that has not been the case with Diggy and it seems to be getting worse.

This used to be my favorite mobile game. I want it to be my favorite again, but I am sorely afraid our comments are falling on deaf ears.

AllMenAreIslands

Happy-Haze lol @ secret squirrel.

btw, I'm a she. 😃

Happy-Haze

AllMenAreIslands

I'm so sorry...I didn't realise.....let me just put my other foot in my mouth now 🦶🦶👄

AllMenAreIslands

Happy-Haze no need to apologize, dear @Happy-Haze. I never said before.
