31 already? They haven’t even started rolling out version 30 yet. That is fast.

As many have already said this post is a real cop out. I don’t need to repeat the arguments above lol.

Don’t know where to put this, so I thought I’d ask here:

Did anybody else receive extra hero slots? I went from 237 to 240. Don’t know how I got the odd # in the 1st place but an extra 3 slots? Weird :upside_down_face:

No

When I levelled up now I went from 212 go 215.

New event ? 
:::::::::

Can anyone explain this? from release notes

“Chance to receive Epic Ascension Material renamed to Rare Ascension Material as the chance to receive Epic Ascension Materials is removed” because last iteratin in beta they add 100 gems cost but with 5% chance of epic AM

I don’t remember any cheap excuses
 I don’t remember any communication about it at all. And that’s worth at least 5 screw over points I think.

Maybe “cheap excuses” are:

  • Skin (pure fashion) turned into costume (battle alteration and bonus) for money grabbing.

  • Taverns of Legends which is essentially unlimited capacity and instant HA10 for another money grabbing.

  • All other features that leapfrog HA in their timeline.

Bro all game developers should think their income that’s usual. :man_facepalming: , be cool

Thats true but thinking of income and only thinking about it are two whole different things. Yeah they made this game to earn money but that doesnt justify them putting the community at the bottom of their priority list.

Yeah both should be balanced

Will be pretty interesting to see what Version 31 has in store.
Possible:
Halloween revamp (Probably after summer event is over)
New Costumes (likely)
New Season 3 Heroes (likely)
New Hotm (likely)
New monthly event (teased without any details or promises in the event date change announcement)
New coopared featured (teased long ago)
New solution for dupe heroes (as if)

This is pure speculation!

One thing guaranteed from it is more things they hope will make players spend

I wanted to share this post here after initially posting on in their Beta Lounge:

EDIT: So, yeah, my handle is Ornery, so just handle it. My first language is not english, and I’ve not done any proof reading, so 
 Here we go.

I will comment on this later, after taking part of that thinking.

You have read all of our feedback and recognize 
 YOU HAVE HAD DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS TO “RECOGNIZE” THIS.

It’s not something new to recognize. What you “recognized” has been discussed for days, weeks, months and months and months. You simply ignored it. Then you went along and did something not addressing the issue.

Do you think we don’t recognize this, after reading all of your transparent message?

Really? Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Nice. I have a hard time not seeing this just as a blatant attempt to make this about US wanting something not compatible with what YOU are delivering – insinuating WE are somehow responsible for such a naïve fallacy.

I also find the statement about a very small group of players being able to benefit from this building interesting. So 
 Which players is the building designed for? F2P players
? We’re talking about a building which requires a maxed base. When a player reaches this level, wha
 You know what – I’ll just 
 Whatever.

THIS IS THE XXX POINT DOWN THE XXX LINE! THE LINE BEGUN A RATHER LONG TIME AGO!

Now we’re here – AT A VERY DEFINITE POINT DOWN A LINE – and don’t make this about what WE want (which could be argued is also conforming to what this game needs) in relation to what YOU made.

Sincerely? SINCERELY? This is either complete BS, or a both sad and exemplary display of totally missing the point. The latter often happen when you don’t communicate.

If you really are surprised by the reactions you are getting – to the point of still not understanding them – that’s the consequence of not communicating, and not wanting to do so. Or understanding what communication actually is. As in proper communication; something bi-lateral. You mainly show up and make statements when things turn south.

You have a public forum. You don’t communicate there. You got a Beta program, with a beta forum section. You don’t communicate there. You got a VIP not VIP “Active Player Lounge” section in the forum. You don’t communicate there.

Holy f


So – let’s return to the opening statement:

I don’t recognize this post as neither transparent nor illustrating your thoughts behind the feature, but more as an attempt at an excuse for going through with your plans.

Transparency isn’t something you just make up or can use when it suits you. Maybe you really are trying to be transparent here, and maybe you will continue to try. But we’re not there yet. I can only (I’m being humble here) speak for myself, but you have some work to do if you want to ensure some respect – and transparency. Maybe you’ll earn that respect at some point down the line.

For someone whose first language is not English, this was REALLY well-written. Heck, it’s well-written even if English WAS your first language.

I agree with you 100% @Ornery. You’ve explained our position very well (and in excellent English I might add). Keep on speaking for the player base. We need you! :hugs:
