Emotional Support ❤️‍🩹 RIP Foreheads

I’m so sad that I’m gonna be missing the forehead hairstyles for probably at least two years before they rerun again. I wanted all of them so bad and if this banner was released before Valko’s cancellation I would’ve pulled till I got all of the hairstyles. Unfortunately, I just can’t justify spending a single penny on the game until he’s fully reinstated. Ended up spending some of the money I would’ve spent on this banner on new workout earbuds and a Valko plushie. 🫩

I'd feel bad using the haircuts when I know it would mean breaking the boycott tbh

That was my logic, too. The truth is, I have like 300 pulls saved up from red diamonds, but even pulling with those feels off to me. 😭

Tbh for me the boycott has always been to not spend money. For me I log in every day bc it costs Infold to have f2p users, but I refuse to put money in to it. I use to buy the monthly Aurum pass, 85% of the time would to the weekly pass, and spend anywhere for 50-250$ on each event (top spending on Sylus and Zayne). But since I haven't spent any money in game, I had a lot of saved resources bc I have been playing since launch so I was able to get Zayne hair with the diamonds I already had but I would have spent so much to got them all....

The line I draw is the gratitude items, if I see a user with those, instant block! No Valko No Money! I have 100% of Sylus's cards and it makes me so sad to not get the promise one and the ears but I'm not going to support a company that refuses to communicate with it's users.

The thing is, I’m a harem player so my savings would go super fast. If it came down to it, I’d spend my saved diamonds on Zayne but I think I’d rather just save for when Valko returns and I start playing again + for reruns.

I know what you mean, I don't hold it against anyone, it's entirely my own silly moral commitment, and theme of the multibanner didn't interest me in the first place (despite my goonery)

I’ve logged in maybe once or twice and I want to more but I haven’t spent a dime (not even on the Aurum pass) and that’s not like me. I hate how this is making me feel and I kinda wanna cry about it Lol. Caleb and Zayne are my favorites and I was so excited to add Valko to the roster. It hurts my heart.

I feel you. It feels silly sometimes to be sad about it because at the end of the day, it’s just a game, but I really did love the characters and all the work the developers did in breathing life into them. Which is why I was excited to see how they’d breathe life into a brand new character until the unthinkable happened… </3

I normally would have spent so much money until I had all the cards, hairstyles and outfits. But too bad #NoValkoNoMoney.

Same here. Even though Zayne’s my favorite, I was more of a harem player and pulled for everyone’s cards to at least r0 no matter what. I imagine a lot of harem players (who I’d wager spend more money on average than a solo player) are boycotting currently which is what’s pulling the heavier weight in the boycott. Why alienate the group that would be most likely to spend on your new product? It doesn’t make sense to me </3

Same and this one was so hard! I also main Zayne then it’s Sylus and Xavier. Valko would have been up there. I am a harem player tho and collect all. This was tough but I stayed strong. Just felt so insulted by the game.

I'm still hunting for the perfect Valko plushie, I'm thinking of sewing my own sometime. Where did you get your plushie from? 👀

u/alaxes 7d ago

I bought it from a user on x (@ouryhs). But I think the preorder closed literally yesterday. 🫩 There’s also an Etsy shop called PawfectCharm that have pretty high quality plushies and they recently released a Valko one.

u/KamisatoBobato 7d ago

Thanks a lot for the info! I will check them out. 🥳 One day a plushie Valko will manifest at home. :3

I wanted the original forehead Valko so looking at all those other hairstyles feels like a kick in the teeth tbh. I couldn’t enjoy seeing them if i can’t have Valko. So i wasn’t even tempted.

u/gamdjo 6d ago

I REALLY wanted Caleb's new hair but I was not gonna spend 80 wishes just to get it, especially rn 🥲

u/vanille-rose 6d ago

I don't need to own the forehead, I'm just glad I got to see it at all.
