HA is a joke. They will not fix it because it was never broken in their eyes. It’s meant to frustrate people into buying gems to pull the heroes they want instead of waiting a week for a duplicate s1 hero. The fact I can put in a Victor (I didn’t do that, it’s just an example) but not receive one is ridiculous. If seasonal heroes are NOT in the HA, they should not be allowed to be used for retraining.

Also, fix the ninjas! Nerf, balance, whatever you want to call it, just do it
 But not with costumes!

Keep blasting them with 1 star reviews in apple and Google store. They love giving us 1 and 2 stars heroes, right? Time to send the payback.

Ah finally, costumes for underpowered and underutilised non-s1 heroes, such as
 checks notes 
Finley, GM, Killhare and Jabberwock.

I am nothing but thoroughly confused.

I joined a year ago. Loved the game, considered going C2P (like POV), decided to wait till my level was high enough to get me through to stage 48. When I got there, decided against paying. Never regretted it. Never will.

Stupid money-grabbing move after stupid money-grabbing move.

At least I won’t regret my money when I quit
 or when they shut it down.

This makes me sad.

Doesn’t matter what they do now
 damage is already done. By even considering these costumes they show their intentions

I wish this was April fool’s day post
:man_facepalming:
don’t you think that F2P players have 0 chance to keep up with all these rapid changes and new op heroes, or maybe you don’t consider them

I think anyone can see what they will do.

Quietly put these costumes on ice but do a nice PR job saying “we listened, so here are costumes for Thoth-amun, Perseus, Margaret instead”


 Then 6 months down the line when the new villain event and S4 heroes are one shotting everyone, they’ll release them anyway saying “We’re releasing these costumes to make Jabberwocky/GM/Finley” relevant in today’s S4 world"

The above post doesn’t for one second mean they’ll cancel them.

Just scrap it all. Don’t even consider it.

“Continue adjusting costumes in future betas”?

In plain English, that translates to “we don’t understand that publicly firing the idiots who thought this was a good idea is probably the only way to win back our players’ trust.”

Whoever wrote that release is clearly too out of touch to understand that this isn’t an idea that was implemented badly, it’s a bad idea full stop.

Congrats, you snot waffles have functionally killed your cash cow.

Do the devs not understand that? That the options really are between firing the team who thought this was a good idea, and the game dying and Everybody getting fired? Because “we’ll fix this inherently broken feature” means you just don’t get it.

These costumes were like trying to put water in a car’s fuel tank. Everybody is yelling not to, so they put down the water bottle, and pick up the diesel can, not realizing that diesel is also going to ruin the gas/petrol engine

Thanks for the update!

I appreciate that SGG had a swift response that not only included a written response, but action as well. I look forward to hearing more from them in the future as they promised in this correspondence.

I hope that this strong and united backlash will serve as some type of wake-up call for SGG so they will begin to give considerably more weight to feedback from their beta testers and moderators.

I appreciate them wanting to expand costumes, but I would like to see them do the first 10 hotms and season 2 first. Those are the ones that need them now.

It’s been a while since stopped hoping for moves from sgg to address power creep and the f2p/p2p gap. In fact, every move they take seem to be in order to raise short time revenue.

There is no end game before you decide it for yourself. Now, I absolutely don’t mean that there should exist a point where you’re “done”, but a sense of being able to progress would be fun. I haven’t progressed in well over a year, despite all the content (read: new and better hero’s) that has been added.

Without my alliance i wouldn’t be around anymore.

Nerfing the costumes won’t change the fact that costumes inherently buff their base characters.

A 5% increase in attack stat translates to something like 6.8% increase in damage. Even if the costume is a side grade or even down grade, that is, unequivocally, a buff.

The only way to avoid that would be to make the costumes a side/down grade and not give them costume bonuses.

Which means that they might as well, and here’s a decent idea, not bother

Such a disrespect to the 2017 hotms. gravemaker of all the heroes, and Thoth amun is lying festering in his crypt. This is favouritism at its worse.

Killhare isn’t even a year old, and they gave Lepus a costume. Um where is roostley’s again? Perhaps the most flawed Springvale 5 star hero doesn’t even get a costume


Finley and jabber are barely a year old and they’re getting costumes. Both perfectly fine op heroes gets costumes. But no to sargasso because he doesn’t desperately need some serious rework or buff to be viable. Would you also like to bet they won’t even consider guin for a costume? Save them all the old gen tank wars drama.

Also I can’t wait for S3 costumes to drop so that Frigg can get back her original -4% Def value. Thanks, I hate it.

What’s your feeling about this hole situation?
  • Very Good, the game needs to progress and this is the way to do it
  • Good, I like most aspects about the followup of S1 costumes
  • Ok, I can live with the changes. Thats just how the game works
  • Bad, I dislike most of the changes presented
  • Very bad, its one if not the worst thing that happened to this game

What I see here with this is a way to validate releasing the heroes for S4 and Suicide squad already being OP.

Yes, this is gonna be a quick cash grab and there are those who will spend to continue to stay on top. I saw someone who had over 4K heroes to make sure they ended up with all 5 ninjas. Do the math as we figured this person spent 3K to get 5 heroes.

What they are doing is a complete conflict of what they just did or this is gonna be what we have already seen as a trend. Release a hero who is OP, nerf them after they get the cash claiming they did it for balance just as they did today with Frigg and Odin.

Personally, I’ve been one of the spenders who will continue to play this game as I love it but that goal to get into a top 5 alliance just flew out the door.

A power creep is acceptable and expected but a power surge isn’t.

Balance the heroes from the past and keeping peoples rosters relevant will be a hell of a lot more profitable and good for the long term viability of this game we’re so passionate about

True 
 and yet this was a win for the consumers. So let’s not ignore that.
