An appeal to SG for some common sense

I think you nailed it. Maybe the players that spend so much to get the best hero (or all) dont care about spening $$$, maybe they out weigh all C2P and F2P players and SG know this there fore they dont care because they are getting rich. Im C2P leaning towards F, i got so excited to see the last of the S1 hero’s get costumes, then read that the talked about heros are getting costumes too, i died inside, but hey SG dont care about me or you or us. Its greed gone mad! Its actually a massive Casino, we are all gambling, and some have a problem!

Agree with what you say but this affects all players, not just C2P/F2P. It may not be obvious to many, but even the whales are fed up with SGG’s business practice which are amateurish at best, shady at worst. I have pointed it out in great detail above the number of ■■■■-ups in 2020 alone.
Increasingly more players that would normally spend large amounts are getting fed up and are either spending less or quitting altogether. Furthermore they forget that the majority of their player base are C2P players. At the moment it seems that their business strategy is to keep squeezing and hoping that the few remaining whales are still willing to spend, but eventually the bubble will burst and the whole house of cards will come tumbling down.

I dont know what is happening. Its impossible to win anything! Even if my opponent is less level than me, Never appeared a combination of puzzles! It’s really annoying. Please do something be cause there will be a lot of players uninstalling the game

Great read.
But I don’t understand why you guys are so surprised? I don’t see anything that isn’t business as usual.

:point_up_2:yep…!

You all applaud slight imbalance because it’s so attractive. Can’t wait to put it next to your tank. Hold on baby! We’re going to mortgage the house today! Weeeeeeeeee

The imbalance is so slight!
And people spend so much!
Because… slight after slight after slight?
Yeah. It makes cents, how to make $

A year later… nothing new. Same old story. So why shouldn’t SG embrace imbalance, and ratchet it up a notch after you spend and celebrate it?
Even defend it…

And now all of the sudden be surprised?
Now all of the sudden your confused and upset? I really don’t get it

Nice collection of issues.

Don’t forget when some beta tester knew they could start a battle in beta game, see what was the board generated, switch to live game and somehow import (I don’t know the most appropiate word) that board to their first live battle.

Ah who could ever forget Beta-boards Gate. To be fair this bug was exploited by a few beta testers without the knowledge of the developers. These small group of players were also very reluctant for the problem to be exploited, instead keeping it all hush hush on Beta forums and using it to their advantage. It was only after @Rigs exposed this flaw did the developers take notice of this exploit and in all fairness it was very quickly fixed soon after.
AFAIK no punishment were handed out to players who exploited this flaw as it didn’t cost SG any money. It is also interesting that some of these ‘top’ players who were consistently going 6-0 in wars suddenly became terrible overnight… We know who you are!

Exactly. I agree with what you said.

Having a deja vu here.
Reading the same things as on the game forum of the previous game I played.
And that game fell apart, desintegrated because of pure greed.
A great game and idea destroyed because of this.
And this is happening all over again with this one…

Can us players also have greed?

It seems to me that balance is only an issue when it is convenient.
Ooohhhhh
Now it’s time for common sense…?!

But when all these minor imbalances continually add up to:
Exactly
The
Same
Thing…

That’s ok…

You want greed? Then i have the perfect thing just for you. Check the “Design you own hero” thread.

I’ve never applauded imbalance.

Power creep is necessary in order to keep things interesting and challenging.

I did applaud some buffs/nerfs because IMO they were absolutely necessary, and this included Telly/Vela nerfs (at least the first round) even though I have them.

What bothers me this time is the double standard, calling nerfs in the sake of balance, just to imbalance the game again a few weeks later.

Hello, I made this account just to post in this thread. My username is Stellar and I have played in several top 100 alliances, including a couple top 10s for the past years.

I was, by all means, a whale. In some months I spent over 2000 dollars easily on this game. I used to pull at least 100 heroes in every portal. This game was once enjoyable and a place in which I made good friends.

I have been free to play for a month now and dear friends, you can do it. Acknowledge this game creates FOMO within its playerbase and constantly disrespects us with its attitude. While this was not a financial burden for me, it was certainly a psychological one. This is, for many of us, an addiction.

I went cold turkey. After a couple mat offers I did not buy, it became easy to not buy any of them. If more of us whales take this route, things are bound to change.

I am 100% in agreement with my friend Genuineness/Happy Waffle. Please reconsider your spending if you wish to see actual change within this community. Or at least see yourself free from the endless carelessness SG offers to its playerbase, whether they are big spenders or not.

SGG has shown us who they are. Maybe it is time for us to believe them.

I will not waste time writing what everyone here already said, but in short, the game will be like this when all these “news” are online:
F2P-C2T >abyss >P2W…fun

Please guys, why turn strong heroes into OP++ heroes? Why not improve mediocre 4* and 5* heroes from S2? Why not fix HA and AL?:man_shrugging:t2:
Since GM, Jabberwock, Finley, Killhare, Poseidon and Master Lepus deserve a costume to make them stronger, so we’re waiting a costume for Neith, Noor, Zulag, Raffaele…

I mean the weirdest thing here is the business model is somehow a shock???

I mean up to exactly now dropping $2000 in a month chasing all the best heroes was fun but suddenly now it isn’t??

I mean It’s all a bit hypocritical isn’t it???

This game has hardly been a sheep in wolves clothing…we all know how it works. I just guess that suddenly the small to medium whales felt like the rest of us??

I’ve also said “I mean” a lot but I’m a bit flabbergasted tbh

People in top 100s have been complaining, quitting and shifting their spending habits for months. Is this new to you?
