Second Dinner has released an official statement regarding the limited time game mode High Voltage: Overdrive that saw a big community outcry over the cost and reward structure. This includes issues such as:
- The cost of Series 5 card Kid Omega being 50,000 Volts, that required a huge playtime and additional purchase of Missions via Gold to achieve.
- Twitch Drops not going live as planned, which was a source of additional Volts.
- The daily Volts players were receiving were initially communicated being an additional compensation to the Twitch Drops, but later clarified that was to replace the Twitch Drops.
As a result, players will be receiving an additional 2,500 Volts, and the confirmation that Sanctum Showdown will be returning next week. Check out the announcement made on the official Marvel Snap Discord below.
Announcement
We want to thank everyone for providing your honest feedback about High Voltage: Overdrive and its rewards – specifically Kid Omega.
The intent behind Kid Omega’s pricing was to offer players a significant discount off the price of a Series 5 card using Volts. We set a precedent in previous Limited Time Game Modes and we didn’t clearly set new expectations which caused frustration. Moving forward, we’ll set better expectations for event rewards, including when cards like Kid Omega will be added to the Series Pack pool, which will be next month. Our aim is for all new LTGM card rewards to hit their respective pools around 30 days after its debut.
We’ll continue to iterate when it comes to how LTGMs play and also how we structure their rewards. Our goal for all of these modes is to have something that players want to earn, regardless of their level of spend. Some events will be more focused on free-to-play rewards while others may include other rewards that provide more purchase value.
For the remainder of this edition of High Voltage: Overdrive, we’ll be sending a one time delivery of 2500 Volts to players’ Inboxes due to some impactful bugs dampening Volts and XP acquisition. It was also pointed out that it is cheaper to directly supplement Volts for Gold, as opposed to the more expensive Mission refresh. That was unintended, and we’ll look at fixing that in the future.
To lead off improving our communications around events ahead of time we’ll be sharing details about next week’s Sanctum Showdown very soon.
Your feedback is not only helpful but key to the future of Marvel Snap. This conversation isn’t one-and-done. It evolves, just like the game and your feedback helps shape it. We’re committed to keeping that conversation open. It will never be perfect for everyone, but our goal is fairness and transparency.
