[2021] The Cloak and Dagger release is the biggest insult Scopely has given to the players ever. And that's saying a LOT.

Across the next 2 STRIKE passes we can get a total of 20 shards for each character for free. Then there are 12 Luminous Orbs, letting us get another 60 total shards between the two. You can go 50/50, 80/20, or anything in between. Plus there'll be some blitzes for Luminous orbs. Those blitzes have to give you at least 20 orbs, or 40,000 Luminous Credits, just to be able to unlock both characters. And even then you're not getting both until the end of the second STRIKE pass 2 months from now. And even then only at 3 stars? That doesn't even consider building them up to a useable level.

We're already about a month after the characters were added to the game and we can't unlock them for another 2 months? And only if we have the most generous blitzes ever in the game granting us 50 shards of each character? You're seriously telling me that you're adding the characters to the game and not providing a f2p method to unlock them for a full QUARTER OF A YEAR after adding them? The 2021 second half road map should have included something about looking at unlocked Cloak and Dagger in your roster, because that's where they're going to be for most of the 2nd half of 2021.

As a free to play player I don't expect to get every shiny new thing right away. I know I'm going to have to wait and grind hard. But as someone who likes the grind, I've always appreciated that if I put in the time and effort I can unlock the characters. This release method, though, is just a giant F you right to my face. Scopely is telling me they don't want me in their game because I don't have the financial resource to spend on it. It doesn't matter if I spend 15 hours in game every single day. I have to wait 1/4 of a year after characters are added to the game to unlock them? This is the most insulting thing Scopely has ever done.
