Argue is good , its brainstorming help each other to open their minds , its not bad actually and i always did it in reallife too , the bad part when some1 too push their opinion even its wrong , could be me or others , i never want to say im always correct, yeah sometimes happened. cheers for your concern
Lol sure
Any thoughts on what frenzy wrote in his opening post above?
To be hostest I play that game atm. And there are some things they really do better. I will not leave E&P beause of this game but I think it is good to give SG somekind of a mirror to show them that there might be another path to chose. I am not a lawyer so i have no idea if it is legal or not but I apprechiate this fresh wind in the game. Just a little thing I really like: you can contact the support directly via a chat from game and in deed you really get feedback and thanks personally! This is what I miss a bit during beta testing. Not much feedback. When the lodge went online without any comment from SG on our concerns in beta I was a bit upset.
Yes communication could use improvement for sure. Think itās getting better with baby steps though
You also get a chest for completing each region, in case you didnāt know
So @FrenziedEye i feel i derailed the crap out of this thread
Any direction you wanna take to get it back on course?
I am confused by your title. What are you attempting to discuss in this topic?
Yes, and as there is a common knowledge that some heroes are better than others for war/raid defense teams. That means eventually the defense teams will get the best heroes and variety is killed this way.
Thatās true, but thatās another problem (called power creep). In order to replace the best hero in the team, you need even better hero. The way they do it now is by improving mana speed, giving 4* skill specials to 5* and by plain buffing the stats. When they do it, people are complaining that their old heroes are obsolete (Seshat > Thoth, for example).
If they donāt do it, people are complaining that heroes are weak (see Anzogh and Margaret).
That would be power creep, seen by someone as bad.
Iād call it āmore boringā if everyone has a Kage. Iād prefer fighting against Quintus. I think boredom is what drives people away from the game, so in some way, itās āgamebreakingā.
Iād like to see more diversity. I like the talent grid idea, but it can be more diverse. More conditional nodes, ability to replace talent node with a stat node and vice versa. For example, what if you could trade a talent node with any other same-priced stat node? Having less chances to respawn for your fighter, but more defence/attack/health? Or increase the chance for respawn, but sacrifice some stat node for that.
It neednāt increase by that much, even if itās 1 extra epic token per month or two months Iād be happy.
But even if it was increased to that much I donāt think it would skew the hero distribution such that 'everyone would have the same heroes ā
What about tournaments? Arenāt they the recently added additional source of epic tokens?
What about reducing cooldown of mystic vision? Of course you watch 3 times more ads, but you have +50% to chances to get an epic token
Jokes aside, i always think ācompetitionā is healthy, at least for the customer.
When you have only one seller of a specific product (in this case a good match 3 rpg game without marble/chibis characters) you have no choice.
Buy from them, or not buy it at all.
Once they reach a good enough player base, they started to take advantage of that.
No one think that gems value are somewhat cheap, and they introduced little by little new key elements, that you can aquired pretty much only with gems (sometimes, a really huge amount of it).
Chance of a HotM are 1%. So at average people need 100 summons, and thatās pretty much 300 ā¬/$
You can be lucky once or two, but if you want them all thatās the kind of investment you have to expect.
By all means it is not cheap, but if you donāt have any other people making you a better offer, you can pretty much do whatever you want, as long as you figure out whatās people are ready to spend.
They do exactly what every healthy company would try to do: maximise incomes.
Like selling apples for 50 $/ā¬.
If no one else sell them and people still want to buy them, they complain, sure, but at the end of the day buy.
Having multiple similar games can only end in 2 ways:
-
first: they agree to not steal customer to each other. All of them make the same kind of offers and prices, so they try to equally divide the market, get a little less, but without problems.
-
second: they try to steal the market and offer better prices/better services. In that case all the others (if they see it works) take action and do the same thing/try to make something new.
The second scenario is actually what customers benefits more, and that could happen only if you have competitors.
So basically others should get stuck for eternity with bad heros to keep you entertained?
I know thatās probably not what you meant but definitely the way i just interpreted it
And wouldnt newer players that havenāt accumulated a kage or whatever still be using a random quintus u enjoy finding?
There is another game which is a clone of E&P. This is the competition for SG
While thatās true, Iāve yet to get a epic hero token in tourneys outside of the maybe the very first 1. And the only tourneys i dont hit 1% are the 3* tourneys.
Mystic vision doesnt treat me well at all. Others show off ascension mats, i show off 2 gems and a health potion
So idk if either of those sources were a huge improvement to the situation
But Iām 1 guy and RnG is RnG. Would certainly take more than just my luck to prove anything
Clone
While indirect discussion of a clone might be helpful, It is unlikely to gain traction with you actual target audience, the DEVS.
Legal is VERY strict on information exposure during ongoing legal proceedings.
Literally hinting at a clone guarantees this topic will not make it past Petri ( hands Petri a mug of artisanal drinking chocolate with whipped cream and sprinkles).
To clarify, they should get stuck with variety of heroes, and everyone should have an ability to make a ābad heroā better to make me entertained. There should be conditions where Kadilen performs better than Zeline, and Khagan performs better than Gravemaker.
BTW thatās why I actually enjoy tournaments, especially when all specials are set to very fast.
I want them to use a Quintus even if they have accumulated a kage
Hereās the screenshot from some other thread:
Well, youāll get lucky eventually. Donāt stop believing!
So basically all heros are great, no one should want better heros, tourney loot is underrated since a few get good stuff, and mv is a wonderful source of new heros??
Idk. Not sure Iād agree with that analysis but Iām out of time before work soā¦ Will revisit later
Some members seem to frequently troll and can appear routinely sanctimonious and off topic.
The pull rates are low and it keeps almost all types of players on a more level playing field. Few players can afford to drop 2k a month on this game, so most of us have variable lineups.
Those that can drop unlimited cash on the game are funding its development for the rest of us. If they couldnāt get something rare and have slightly more powerful teams, theyād go elsewhere
I lack most of the very top heroes and can get to #1 globally and sit comfortably in diamond. Whatās the big deal if I donāt have Kage or Gravy or Guin or Zeline? Iām competitive with Sartana and Lianna.
Some forum participants may have been around a long time, but their style of posting is the pixelated digital equivalent to toxic masculinity, and it was a mistake to allow it to continue unabated so long.
Obnoxious, boring, non-constructive, self-important, entitled hogwash. Itās not the game that sucks because it is rigged, itās the forum.
Lol guess you didnt have the nerve to block me?
Anyways sure the game is perfect and needs no improvement, not sure what devs are doing with all their spare time in that case cause there shouldnt be anything else to do
And yes the forum you visit every day is crap but keeps you coming back becauseā¦???
