Hi all,
I've heard on other threads that certain heroes are only possible to get if you reach VIP level 11, such as Pegasus, Elemix and Gladius. I believe you can get them from the dolphin wishing pond which appears when you get to that level. To do this, though, I think you need to spend around £197 on the game (not sure what that is in dollars or euros). That's a lot of money! Did I get this wrong? I based my calculations on how much you get if Are there really people who have spent that much money on the game? Or are there ways of getting the dolphin pond, or these heroes, for less?

Getting VIP 11 is 250$ (2 of the biggest pack, and one of the second biggest packs).

That is a bit steep for what little it does for the player... They should give f2p players a free weekly use of dolphin. Time spent on the game should be worth something as well to the devs.

I am not sure how the level mechanics work exactly as I haven't purchased a single crystal pack, but if the VIP point counter resets each time you level up, which is very likely, then the VIP points required for the next level grows exponentially. Vip level 1 : 200 Vip level 2 : 400 Vip level 3 : 700 Vip level 4 : 1000 And so on...
The information I used is given in the game by pressing on the "i" button in 'The Vault' menu, right next to your current VIP level. You can swipe ahead to see exactly how much VIP points are required for each level.
Based on my calculations, it takes 45.800 vip points to reach vip level 11. If you recieve 6000 points per €99,99 purchase, you would need to buy this pack at least 8(!) times. (45.800 divided by 6.000 is 7,3) But the first €99,99 pack sets you at VIP level 8 instantly, so from there, it is still a whopping 32.000 VIP points to go before reaching VIP level 11. 32.000 VIP points can be accumulated by purchasing 5 more €99,99 packs, 1 x €29,99 pack and 1 more €4,99 pack. This is a total of:
6 x 99.99 = 599,94 1 x 29,99 = 29,99 1 x 4,99 = 4,99 --------------------- total 634,92
You would still have an excess of 100 VIP points this way.
From here on, you still have VIP levels 12 to 15... I am not going to calculate these costs precisely, but the total VIP points required to reach that level is.... 335.800!!!! (Divided by 6.000 is 55,9 x €99,99 packs so that rounds up roughly €6.000 That is SIX THOUSAND euros.)
This game runs a scam on people by exponentially increasing the VIP levels required for the next level. They don't aim for gamers, they aim for kids who have access to their parents iPads or tablets that have their credit card information stored on the device, for people with gambling problems and for people with a Swiss bank account or a Saudi prince or something. You can eat at least a month for €634,92.
Greetings from Nelis with love from the Netherlands. Please take care with app purchases because in app purchase models as these are far from uncommon. Only this app beats all the others I have seen before, hands down.

Just to be clear, IF the counter does not resets, you'd still need 15.000 VIP points to reach VIP level 11 and 150.000 vip point to reach level 15. That would still be a figure of €250,- and respectively an astronomical figure of €2.500,- for a virtual game that you cannot give away or sell later.

The counter doesnt reset, any excess point is carried over towards the next vip lv progression to play this game, you HAVE to get to vip lv 1(spend some $) asap to get those MUCH NEEDED daily raid cards, otherwise you'll have to work you ass off to grind those story stages/scrimmage towers, im not exaggerating here, there are SOO MANY grinding in this game that it ha become a MUST to get to vip 1. The 'best' way to do this is to buy the monthly card once, so you also get the daily gem to buy things from pirate/camex store
Dolphin pond heroes price is INSANE for a game which in my oppinion hasnt got any REAL update for f2p players since i played 3 months ago

I find logical to spend à few bucks in a game pleasuring me daily. I gave like 25€ or 30€ (two monthly packs for the 150 crystals/day) and one offer I can't remember, that's quite cheap for a daily game and raid cards are really a necessity. For those spending hundreds, well I don't know, that's their business. My team still handles VIP11+ so i'm good with that

Having 3 accounts level 70 which can make 14% to every boss . (1.1 main, 800k each alts) , I know the pain of grinding without raid cards. Raid cards is a must. Vip2 and up make your life easier. People who are proud to make it vip0 and brag about it, imo , are ... They just waste tons of their time grinding same things everyday.

I probably spend 2-4 hours a day playing HT if I spent thatuch time in the theater for entertainment value, it equal about $20-$30 per day. If i wanted a little extra like time in the arcade... that be another $4-$10.

There is not a single online/phone game that is worth 200+$$$ NOT A SINGLE ONE!!!!!!! Nothing justify paying this much. Now if you're filthy rich its another story, but if not then its just been extremly irresponsible.

Now if you're filthy rich its another story, but if not then its just been extremly irresponsible. im not filthy rich... im also not stupid cheap. i give entertainment value is just due. 200 dollars buys 4-6 movies at the theater. thats 7-16 hours of entertainment. if the game you enjoy playing trumps that entertainmemt value by giving you days worth of entertainment value, than $200 is a bargin. if you dont want to spend the money, the game is still free. it doesnt charge a subsciption like many online games do, your just not going to get the coolest features of the game. you should be happy that you can enjoy the vast majority of its content for free. im vip 14, i didnt get there in one giant lump sum. ive been buying the monthly card and good promotions as they come up. as ive been playing since the start date, that has been spanned over a significamt amount of time. In that same amount of time, ive spent much more on other forms of entertainment that certainly don't last as lomg as a game does. i've seen concert tickets go for more than 200. ive seen hockey tickets go for more than 200. ive seen people drop over 200 on lottery tickets. where is the entertainment value i that? there just spending money on hope.
