...Since when is SS1 more free then SS2? You can actually get periodic gold there AFAIK, plus looting awesome weapons, SS1 forces you to buy if you want anything better then a buffalo horns c.c
Everything you can get with gold can be gotten for free with some time and effort, this is not a 100% greedy game. Just that it's just too much effort for my standards, hence why I quit.
7 hours = Level 20+ buildings = I'm expecting you o be in a mid-top galaxy, capable of at least handling a little tiny bit of the pillar? Hell, more likely you didn't know how to use free features (read: exra heroes from friends) to make a builder hero. Btcha building ith the war heroes. That or you just plain suck. Or you are a completely oblivious player.
Although online mode would be awesome, there's the bad thing... This game is too fast paced, any lag would screw it up. Online will sure have a few lag spikes, and that might screw it up. So sad. It's such an awesome fighting game anyway.
