Ah finally, costumes for underpowered and underutilised non-s1 heroes, such as⊠checks notes âŠFinley, 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 wonât regret my money when I quit⊠or when they shut it down.
This makes me sad.

Doesnât matter what they do now⊠damage is already done. By even considering these costumes they show their intentions

I wish this was April foolâs day postâŠ
donât you think that F2P players have 0 chance to keep up with all these rapid changes and new op heroes, or maybe you donât consider themâŠ

I think anyone can see what they will do.
Quietly put these costumes on ice but do a nice PR job saying âwe listened, so here are costumes for Thoth-amun, Perseus, Margaret insteadâ
⊠Then 6 months down the line when the new villain event and S4 heroes are one shotting everyone, theyâll release them anyway saying âWeâre releasing these costumes to make Jabberwocky/GM/Finleyâ relevant in todayâs S4 world"
The above post doesnât for one second mean theyâll cancel them.

Just scrap it all. Donât even consider it.

âContinue adjusting costumes in future betasâ?
In plain English, that translates to âwe donât understand that publicly firing the idiots who thought this was a good idea is probably the only way to win back our playersâ trust.â
Whoever wrote that release is clearly too out of touch to understand that this isnât an idea that was implemented badly, itâs 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 âweâll fix this inherently broken featureâ means you just donât get it.
These costumes were like trying to put water in a carâs 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 engineâŠ

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.

Itâs 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 donât mean that there should exist a point where youâre âdoneâ, but a sense of being able to progress would be fun. I havenât progressed in well over a year, despite all the content (read: new and better heroâs) that has been added.
Without my alliance i wouldnât be around anymore.

Nerfing the costumes wonât 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 hereâs 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 isnât even a year old, and they gave Lepus a costume. Um where is roostleyâs again? Perhaps the most flawed Springvale 5 star hero doesnât even get a costumeâŠ
Finley and jabber are barely a year old and theyâre getting costumes. Both perfectly fine op heroes gets costumes. But no to sargasso because he doesnât desperately need some serious rework or buff to be viable. Would you also like to bet they wonât even consider guin for a costume? Save them all the old gen tank wars drama.
Also I canât wait for S3 costumes to drop so that Frigg can get back her original -4% Def value. Thanks, I hate it.

Whatâs 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, Iâve 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 isnât.
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 weâre so passionate about

True ⊠and yet this was a win for the consumers. So letâs not ignore that.

As glad as I am that they reconsidered, Iâm not sure that this temporary stay of execution is a good sign. @NittanyLionRoar called this retraction in a video last night, but in not sure that I share his optimism. If I were to come home from work early and find that my wife had brought a stranger into our bedroom, both beginning to undress, Iâm not sure how sanguine I would be about the fact that she then made him leave when she realized that she was caught and recognized my clear outrage. Moving forward could there possibly be any trust knowing fully (with no plausible deniability remaining) that this was her intent and that she is capable of such betrayal? What about the next time if I donât catch her in the act? Do I even want to be with someone that clearly has so little regard for me?
The funny thing is, SG isnât even being contrite about it. There is no remorse, no acknowledgment that they now realize why what they did was wrong. Just a shrug and a âI guess you caught us, this timeâ.

Do we have a confirmation on whether or not the new Raid Formations will be tied to having HA1 built (like it was in beta)? Asking for 29 friends lol
