Question for veterans

So i am new to this game. Since my work allows me to play a lot of games, i usually find a game and keep playing it for a year or so everyday.

The last year i have been playing MCOC,contest of champions, and i usually spend a lot of money on the game i play for later reweiving, and i also did that on MCOC. Due to changes from the Company behind MCOC i have stopped playing it, and for the last 3 weeks i have been playing PG3D, and i have already spend a great deal of money here too, just like most of you, but before i spend more i would like to know if the game gets regular updates etc, and if you, who has been playing for a long time,still finds joy in the game. My biggest concern is that if i for exemple buy a weapon and then later it suddenly will be removed from the game. So my question is if you Guys and girls who has been playing for a long time, is happy with the money spend? Do not know if my question make sense :-) but yes, it is a seroius question.

When you buy a weapon and it gets removed...since you bought the weapon you will still have it in your shop...so if it gets removed...you will still have it. now about enjoying the game? Some of us do...some of us are Pixel Gunners that are retired but still enjoy staying here and chatting in the shout box...me personally...I do enjoy the game...it was my first FPS shooter and my favorite...I used to spend money but I decided to stop since my Device is outdated...so yeah ....

Ok, thanks a lot for the answer, and that sounds pretty fair that the weapon is not completely removed.. Good day to you sir.
 
Thing is, many of us know this, is that the older guns in the game tend to be on the underpowered side of things. Not horrible, but not the best. So, tbh, if the gun has been removed, you prob wont get the best gameplay out of it.

This is update 10.0.0 and above. Check the version updates in the App Store for a full detail on everything simular to that and back in the good old days of update 7 we had no gems and coin was easy to get. I never had to use cash to buy thing I had everything in the game. Updates tend to mess up the game than improve it. If a gun were removed the developers may give ya a refund that won't work.
 
I've been a player of PG3D before armor came out, which was around the 7.0.0 version(some call this the Golden Age of Pixel Gun). My older brother introduced it to me on his Ipad and enjoy very much, so when I got new kindle fire HD this game was one of my first downloads. I was happy and mostly content playing PG3D in the 7.0.0 era, the only thing thqt annoyed me was the "daters" (people who used the chat system to "date" other players),the Magic Wand, and the Prototype. When they introduced armor in 8.0.0 era I was skeptical of it (and still am). I'm not sure when gems were added but I knew they were bad news from the start because the only way to obtain them is to either lvl up, maybe a daily login gift, or buying them. The 9.0.0 and up updates haven't been the best, some were decent but most of them added more armor and weapons that cost alot of gems. Nowadays I login to PG3D at times and sometimes enjoy the time I play on it. PG3D isn't what it used to be but hopefully Rilisoft will make better updates in the future(if this game is to last).
 
've been also a player since 7.0.0 times, must say, the game was an amazing experience, made alot of pretty good friends there too.
I still haven't lost my interest in the game, but things have been so un-balanced nowadays.

So you have played while there was no armor etc? I love that we can upgrade armor etc, but some people keep telling me that the game was better before.. Do you feel the same way and why?.. I understand if you do not want to answer the question by the way.

Because there are OP weapons now and back then it was balanced...also back then there were no gems only coins...and it was easy to earn them...and Rilisoft actually listened to the community back then...they look at us now and the only thing they see is $$$

The game indeed was better before. Not saying it's bad today, the thing is, that Rilisoft tries to upgrade what's not necessary.
The armor addition was fair, i must say. But with that, alot of OverPowered weapons came into play, such as the Dark Mage Wand, which literally was a buyable aimbot with infinite ammo, and the StormHammer.
Rilisoft, on this last update, they increased the game's quality quite fairly by nerfing the StormHammer.

Thanks for the answer, and i can def relate to that, even though i have not played for so long.. The weapons are very expensive in this game.

Thanks for the answer, great to get other players insight and opinion.

Okay.. By the way i think it is a little annoying that weapons that cost coins can only be upgraded with gems.. Feels like we are forced to use money, and i can surely understand that they have to make money, but with lower prizes more players will buy.. At least that makes sense in my head :-)
But beside that i really love this game and i have bought most of the expensive weapons and capes etc, and as long as we do that the price stays high :-)
 
As a senior member of the forum, and former veteran of PG3D (played the game from 3.1.4 up to 8.0.0), I must say that the game no longer holds a special place in my heart to me. I was very content with the game up until 8.0.0, when they added gems. The incursion of IAPs was horrendous in my opinion, and it's a menace even today. I've tried a few times to get back into PG3D, but every time I've been greeted with OP weapons and armors (armors were around in 7.0.0, though they weren't bad really).

In any case, I don't intend to intrude upon other people's happiness with the game currently, as I'm aware there are still a few players who play PG3D to date. I merely state my verdict on the game, given I'm one of the few former veterans who played PG3D back in the Golden Era.
 
I loved it. I used to play Pixel Gun back when it was primarily a zombie shooter. I now play only to troll ppl and to play with my peers on these forums. The gems, the power ups, magic wand, armor, storm hammer and other multitude of ridiculous and useless updates just ruined all the fun for me. I would much rather recommend something in the pc like Team fortress 2, Counter Strike Global Offensive, DOTA 2 and etc. But if you don't use a pc and wouldn't want to loose your investments in this game then it's up to you. My verdict is that the game was absolutely trashed. 5/10 shadow211121 score
 
One thing that kind of took the game's balance away were the introduction of gems.
For real, they still could've kept only the coins, making the new weapons a bit more expensive, like, around 600 coins, 640, like that. But nope, they made the same thing, but now it's like 240 gems to upgrade a weapon.
 
I first started playing the game in the 3.1.2 update, and it was very fun. Unfortunately, since the 8.0.0 update, the game has become "Pay-to-Win", and is seething with overpowered weapons. Sometimes, I like to imagine that Rilisoft tied and gagged Alex Krasnov, and worked on the game themselves.

As Gold and a few others said, the inclusion of the Gem IAPs was really the final nail in the coffin for most of us. As the Gems came, it also brought with it a completely new wave of OP weapons. After this, most of the active members on the forums left the game. Since then, the game has had it's ups and downs, but most of us are still scarred.

May i ask what game you play instead, if any? So gems is something new in the game i can understand?
 
Mostly the same with me, I didn't play it that early but when i started playing it had quite the weird background and didn't include survival mode. (I didn't know about the frourms back then but now i wished I did.



If you want by opinion, i'd most likely spend it on CS:GO or something like that.
Thanks, i will make sure to look into that.
