I guarantee you this brings in 15-25k in sales.

ANd if they had a $5 pack released once a month with something special in it like this- would generate similar sales.

SO heres some ideas for future $5 packs which would be available for 1 purchase only per person
each line is a separate idea

100 blue medals
50 purple medals
100m coins 50m credits
5 leader cards
spirit plan

these as a $5 pack would generate TONS of sales

Maybe even have a weekly special

I would say maybe not these exact packages for the 5$ deals, (though they would bring in great revenue), but More heroes with special abilities. Maybe a Supporter that Gives the entire front line a shield similar to Ahmose (ofc not quite as strong seeing as it covers up to 3 heroes)... There's so many different things you can do with a "Supporter" role, increased phys / skill def for your team, increased attack, dodge, etc. Just about any stat in the game, when you make a supporter character that can buff it would greatly increase the amount of strategies one could use with the heroes we already have. I hope to see more of these In the future. :)

We need a $5 special that augments your main hero's skill from Driving Blow to something more...useful? Give us like three choices to pick from, one time offer. Also add it in to the Rescue Maria quest line for those accounts started after the sale (so that they have the opportunity to buy the upgraded ability for $5).

Some augment ideas: reduce enemy morale by 25, reduce enemy Hit Rating by 30% for their next ability, 25% increased damage when the skill critically hits, 15% of damage done heals self, reduce enemy defences by 20% for 3 turns, retain +35 morale after skill attack, make the target's turn come last in the next phase, etc.

So many possibilities, and yet we are stuck with a single-target skill that deals OK damage (good, but not great). It's just a boring skill.

I like that idea a lot, a supporter that gives shields. Going off topic but here are some other possible supporters:

Buffer: gives +damage, crit, hit rate to team members (maybe one buff at a time at random)
Debuffer: reduce damage, crit, hit rate, to enemies
Dark magic user: points to the weakest target and all the other heroes will focus on that target.
Self-Sacrificer: takes some of the damage for other heroes

I'm expecting another hero at some point with a normal "Heal". Maria's skill is "Greater Heal" and every other hero whose skill has greater in its name also has a weaker version of that hero with a weaker version of that skill.

That said, please bear in mind that we are a business, not a charity. We have a lot of expenses (including servers, staff, maintenance, power/internet, and paying my salary!) and we do need player support to continue to operate. We have packages for all levels and incomes and if you do enjoy the game and see fit to support us, we want to encourage that by giving you nice little deals, like this package with Maria. It doesn't compromise strategy, but it does give more strategic options!

Thanks for playing.

It is good to see someone from Tynon at last say something. Thanks Dawn for the feedback it is appretiated and would be nice if similar kind of feedback is given to some of our queries, just so we know Tynon is listening ( even though in reality they may not )

There's still a way to get free maria :o

If there is a real way to get a free Maria, why not share it for the kids on here that don't have a paypal account?

Most of the other MMOs of the same genre have paying-player-only features and upgrades.
Examples are hero upgrades and skills that can only be gotten through purchases or through certain VIP levels.

I believe Tynon should put out more of these options that cater to the paying player.
Nothing is taken away from the non-coiner from what the game currently is now. They can play as much as they want without spending a cent.
BUT paying players should have more incentives to coin, not just being able to speed things up.

Added experience bonuses, pay-only heroes and skills, pay-only weapon upgrades, pay-only map levels and areas, etc.

If they add pay only things the game will be killed for most since they will see no point in growing as they can never get stronger than the coiners. The game has to make the non coiners believe that they can be as strong as the coiners at some point even though the non coiners will take longer to get there. During which point the non coiners might also end up coining as they are addicted to the game. But if they have no hope to begin with they will not play the game packages such as the maria one are a good example of what I'm trying to say.

beta.tynon.com :p

I think he was trying to say that too many non-coiners will quit the game, which might get the population too low.
I'm still hoping Maria will not be a pay-only feature. While they might get less money without pay-only features, it's nice to play in a game in which strategy could surpass cash.

Something that would fix everything for me is a way for the game to support exchanges of vip between players.
