I’m sick of having to kick people out who don’t read chat, don’t participate and straight up don’t care about their teams. I’m also sick of losing wars giving new players the benefit of the doubt only to have them straight up no show for the wars.
War chests are for team players and only team players
Only the alliance leader and co-leaders should be able to opt members in for wars and at the VERY least that box should NOT be automatically checked for opt in.
Please consider giving alliance l…

During Each War, there are often posts about problems with network connections or game crashes causing lost flags, points, and use of heroes for attacks.
This post is being created as a new Master Thread for these issues in order to:

Once again we are mismatched in war again. Opponent has 12 players we have 11 giving them 6 extra flags.
War score is matched up correctly, but we are losing wars over and over due to this stupidity.
It doesn’t matter what your justification is for this because you are wrong and it has now become a joke. Wars are just practice now and we no longer enjoy this part of the game.
Fix it, or keep being the joke.

I know that draws have probably been discussed to death in some form or another, but I don’t think I’ve specifically seen pity counters (sadly, searching leads to riposte :-)).
Many games have implemented pity counters to take out the sting of random draws. Honestly? I see no downside to it. It doesn’t diminish the value of 5* or Ascension mats, as the “guaranteed” item after say 100 draws is in no way guaranteed to be awesome. In fact, some games have gone as far as to have a specific “pity h…
I think it is better to have the function that you can share your heroes to others to have a look.
now we can only see others defense team heroes. it is better to add the function to others heroes you want to share.

Given the outcry in the public forum and beta, this post shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, least of all SG.
The current version of the Hero Academy is a SLAP IN THE FACE to all players, both paying and not playing, because it is completely out of whack with what was promised at the AMA .
The feedback provided to SG has been utterly ignored and loyal players should not have to put up with a) the wait/build/resource/upgrade times to get to HA10 and b) the terrible wait times, odds and utility of…

Everyone experiences burnout, it’s just a matter of time…but various factors can mitigate it. I’ve been at this about half a year and I’m approaching burnout, and it got me thinking about why this was happening…and the answer is pretty simple. Lack of progress.

The event summons, elemental summons and summons in general in this game are absolutely ridiculous. The devs of this game couldn’t care less about the people actually spending money on this game and paying their salaries. They have driven many many players away and have many more that have stopped spending because of their ridiculous greed and ridiculous summons. I spent $300.00 on this Atlantis summons with over 120 pulls, I had some hero tokens as well that I used, and got garbage 4*, garbage …
I’ve noticed several times that the real talent odds seem to be much higher than the hero card says. Today again, Boldtusk with 12% revive chance revived three times. Odds for that are 0.120.120.12=0.001728, that’s 0.17% or 1.7 in a thousand.
And this was certainly not the first time I’ve noticed talents activating several times even with the slimmest odds. I’ve played about 1000 raid matches.
Have other players noticed this too, and is there something I’m missing?
There are a number of pop ups that get displayed which is annoying and slows down getting around game. It would be nice to be able to turn them off or at least control which ones are shown.
Collection of various threads petitioning to increase the titan loot / titan rewards for killing
Gist of (all) the requests is that:

Rare titans are a huge disappointment the way they’re working right now.
They seem really exciting at first—they’re a more challenging fight than regular titans, they have the color reflect mechanic, and they tease an increased chance at a very desirable 4* ascension item. But that’s all it is: a tease. The drop rate on the 4* AM is so low that most people won’t win one even if they kill every rare titan they see for several months. This is frustrating, disheartening, and disappointing. It …
Shrikewood dropped on the same day as the start of raid tournament, alliance war and the emblem quest. And all within a 6-hour window. Can you please spread this further apart?
But thanks for dropping the rare titan on us this morning. At least that thing is in the bag by now.
Congrats!
You beat 5 TITANS!
Go you!
Your reward?
Junk …
How about this: Since beating a titan almost NEVER gives ascension items, why not put GUARANTEED ones in the loot chest? Give people a REASON to join an alliance and fight titans.
We recently had 4 of our top players leave the alliance (including it’s CREATOR) and the game, because they were TIRED of sitting on heros (that they PAID for with gems they bought), waiting, sometimes MONTHS, on items that NEVER come/came.
I’d say that th…
I really wish we could organize our Hero Roster better.
I’m sick of scrolling endlessly while leveling my heroes. I wish I could put unleveled heroes and saved trainer heroes away to a second page or something. I’m playing this game now for a while and right now I have 229 heroes (maxed heroes, unleveled, trainer heroes) and it’s a pain to scroll up and down while I’m farming and emptying my training camps. Especially when I max 2-3 heroes I have to scroll up and down.
I wish we could have a s…
Fairly simply, I’d be interested in seeing some options during settings that will within the game settings that will conserve battery power, whether it be options to reduce graphice or other options.
I’d appreciate being able to play without having to charge my phone multiple times a day.
Noticed with latest update that past season 2 5* will be included in the atlantis portal each time it opens now. So I’m curious as to when season 2 heros will start being introduced into our training camps. Tarlak, misandra, and mok arr would be a good start by being added into tc20. Would like to see the 3* and 4* added to the camps as well.
I don’t feel like it would take away from atlantis summons income since most people that pay for summons still will whether they use the camps or not. The…
@Petri
Tons of other ideas and feature requests and other master threads still yet to be resolved, addressed and/or implemented. The original posters have long been gone from the game and from the forum. We would love to have them in the game.
TIA.

My theory is we have to experience the grind of the game… they only have time to experience the behind the scenes work grind … so game QoL is something they don’t have to struggle with everyday.
If they had to put in the time players are putting in… when will they have time to work?
But that’s just a theory! LOL
Edit: on a side note… seeing an Q+A (correction) being scheduled has lifted my spirits about the game (first time in a year) with some hope. Fingers crossed but this feels like a pivot by SGG to engage the community… and I want to acknowledge and thank them for that if that’s the motivation!! With consistent engagement (even if annual)… I am happy to grow brand loyalty.

This is a community letter from 300 alliances.
English Version
Dear Creators and Developers of Empires & Puzzles,
We would like to acknowledge your excellent game, developed by your team, which occupies us, not only in our free time but also in such a complicated time of the Covid-19 pandemic.
However we think you can improve on some points:
Recently we have detected an extreme difficulty in keeping and maintaining good alliances. The lack of motivation of the players is the main reason for…

It’ll never happen.
On here they can vet the questions and take time to compile a PR friendly response all signed off by corporate.
A live interview would expose them to too many awkward questions they can’t think up responses to on the spot… Even though I’m sure we would all love instant, honest responses direct from the Dev’s

Funnily enough… I had a post on this forum requesting an AMA and someone else had to post a similar response that SGG won’t do an AMA.
And yet… here we are. Coincidence aside… who knows what’ll unfold.
Besides… nobody mentioned a live interview or livestream. If you actually watch their channels you will see they have their own formats. Each YouTuber has their own style… but they live lives and they are posting edited videos not live-streaming all the time.

I do not produce my interviews live so their would be no “surprise” questions. That is not my style. I have no interest being confrontational in that manner. That said, I would be 100% fine with them vetting the questions in advance. I have no desire to put anyone on the spot or ask anything they would not be prepared to answer.

Similar to the prior session, this isn’t a true “AMA”. And it’s not being advertised as one this time. They’re only going to answer the questions they want to answer.
I just hope Guv’s makes the cut:

I posted on why we were promised years ago for a solution as well. It just feels like we were lied too. It don’t take years to find a solution. Fix hero academy with a guaranteed different hero than what’s in your rooster, or a least higher the chance for pulling better hero’s!

That’s the shortsighted view. Level the playing field and maybe more people compete overall and engagement is meaningfully boosted. Regardless, I’m asking for company feedback on this because anyone can speculate.

I agree with this… other than ninja tower which I like but I do see complaints from others.
I just want to add that you all promised to come out with a solution for our duplicate heroes when you were in the process of releasing Hero Academy.
No solution has been mention since… please add some kind of value to the game not just bells and whistles…

In fact, they don’t need to create this topic - they just can comment most popular topics in “Ideas and Features”. Players for years asked questions that have remained unanswered to this day. Most of those players left game at this time, but that questions still actual

I don’t see any reason to ask anything the representatives of a company which is only looking for profit. Clearly it will all fall on deaf ears. Don’t set up your expectations too high on this Q&A, guys and girls. No expectations - no disappointment.

I second it, except the NT- which i too have a soft corner at and let that be a challenge to FACE… however i can also compliment the dev’s on the designing of upcoming events like the starfalls, where in the monotony item storm" is broken and even an elder player rejenuvates with such rules. LOL.
thnx.

I know because it’s not on Reddit.
Basically the same thing tho. Not a relevant detail to nitpick LOL
