Well it seems that with recent updates, the game has changed for the worse.
After the mission systen I was reasonably happy:
Missions werE OK IMO because they had low crown output and for me, low satisfaction
I have no objections to the DLC they released, it was their right.
However, these put together left me, to put it straight, overwhelmed.
Its now a very complex game that is long winded to get tgrough tier with missions needed to be done, whereas it wad previously as simple as getting 2 star equiptment.
