November 2022 Balance Update - Discussion

General Discussion
#56

Many were waiting for Charon to be released into live portal. Heā€™s expected in this portal, before having a good go at the upcoming Styx portal.

If you read the Styx thread, you will find those comments there. Or if they did try, they didnā€™t go in big as Zynga/SGG expected.

Hence the revenue was probably lower than expected.

My guess is that Zynga/SGG didnā€™t bother to bone up on why the September Styx portal didnā€™t bring in the mega bucks they were expecting.

This November Styx portal should meet their expectations, with Charon released.

Yeah, this is the last straw for me as well. Iā€™m done spending on this bs.

really Ridiculous. There are plenty of useless heroes. Exeera, Wolf Boss, the same Aeron with the current buffā€¦

And they will address in the December balance update ā€œhow succesful the buff wasā€, just like the buffing of S5 heroes passives and base stats after 2 weeks of the Seasonā€™s start, because "no one played with their new toys)ā€¦ Well maybe it just takes more than 2 weeks for most players to level up their heroes and gather ascension materialsā€¦

Exactly. Itā€™s propaganda to whitewash their real reasons for the buffs. They donā€™t care a toot about player QOL till they have no choice but to concede some.

What was the reason for that, the underwhelming metrix? The feedback of the community? Oh no, it was the bank account :joy:
@Petri when you start a discussion, it is disrespectful if you donā€™t participate

All the more reason to remain FTP. These ā€œbuffsā€ to older heroes is a joke. Time to remind Zynga/SG to check my spending metricsā€¦$0 since Feb 2022 due to the C-Krampus nerf.

I still enjoy the game, even though I play less than I used to, but I will no longer spend and look forward to the day the game ends.

This is so underwhelming, just increased base damage? Nothing else to fix some of these heroes?

Buffing old heroes is good, but I think Styx heroes does not needed this buff at all :frowning:

It doesnā€™t seem like they did anything to fix the main issue with Erabus. The update seems to read that there is damage for attempting to summon a minion on his first charge.

My card still shows thatā€™s only available on the 2nd and 3rd charges.

Still not sure if this one is worth leveling!

Totally weird stuff.

Erebus and Nemezis have unchanged mechanic, increasing the numbers wonā€™t change much about them. While Nemezis was and still is good from the very beginning, because of the mana buffs everywhere and the effect is applied to all, Erebus is still weak because he makes stuff to the single target. You could make him 2000% snipe and he still wouldnā€™t be that great. Insta-kill to one is of course good, but the rest 4 heroes are all dangerous as well.

Buffs for older heroes are always appreciated, I hope SGG will track and buff more of them.

Sadly these changes arenā€™t enough, Aeron still need to put itā€™s status aliment prevention on all allies, Russula damage upon special skill should be buffed too and 200% damage on a slow hero is too 2019. A speed bump would have been better.

Cmon buffing the attack from 150 to 200 to a hero with 618 basic attack is ridiculous joke and brutal insolence . That is a mockery with the intelligence of the playersā€¦ That is a direct insult for meā€¦

Isnā€™t it weird that Santa increased to 200% but his costume remains the same at 150%, is that intended?

If anyone who have half a brain cell will refrain from spending a dime in Styx summon.
