Patch Notes 8/1/13

[VatoLoco]

[QUOTE=Kyleena;12977]I made a thread about this rather backward change Tynon has implemented in Beta:


I am very dissapointed that this made it into Live servers.
They might as well have just given all players a random number and pick one of them to be the 10M coin winner.
One can literally join at the last minute and have a chance at killing the Boss.
A very backward move by Tynon, this one is.

------------------------------------------

The change with the Cerb/Baal boss is very good. If the developers ORIGINAL intention was to give the 10M randomly, as runes are given randomly and Tavern results are quite random except for certain VIP players who spend gems to flip more cards, then this is simply being consistent with the way the game runs. The way it worked for the longest time was the #1 or #2 player always got the final blow. 95% of the time is "always" - don't give me that crap about "everyone has a chance"... that is a bunch of bull at this point of the game. Early on, perhaps... Now? Heck no! It's quite obvious that the only ones complaining about this change are the people who rank top 3 in the Boss events. The top player in this that is complaining here the most gets over 13M in gold coins from the damage done to baal or cerb each time. That is 26 Mil gold coins per day. Does that 10M each event have to be yours each time as well? Are you really THAT greedy? What is wrong with a little random in this so that the wealth is spread out?

And the comments about skill and such? What skill is there in camping out waiting to hit when the numbers are low? And what skill is there in spending 2 or 4 or however many gems on that last "instant revive" click? It's the same as the glitch that existed with the Noble Lady - timing her disappearance to click on her to get the maximum benefit prior to anyone else from her next appearance point. Make it random and keep it that way. If you don't like it, then don't participate in those events. I don't like Pirates so I don't participate in that at all. I sure don't like supplementing the mega-coiner's map needs and I get what I need from guild wars in terms of those 10 points I don't get making a sail, so I get my 10 gems from the assistant daily. I just let my map rot.

And Dawnseeker has a great comment to make to those of you who are howling the most - if you don't like it don't let the door hit you on the way out! If you don't like it, don't participate! (Yeah right, I know you'll be there to collect your rewards LOL!) Now of course I have some harsh words about the Arena changes - but not on this. And even on that other stuff, I have my own fix for it. I won't participate in those things that I do not like. That won't stop me from enjoying the parts of this game that I do like but it may decrease the time I spend playing.

The coiners you keep complaining about are the people keeping this game going. Without coiners there is no money so there is no game. When people are working hard to get where they are and people eith 30times less power who dont even play everyday join and get last hit even tho they did nothing the entire time makes it not worth the time to fight him. And to that comment Nether if you dont like what they are writing dont read it.

[VatoLoco]

Hehehe I hear that so often, you think it makes me believe you? Mega coiners are few while those of us who coin moderately or a little are the norm. I coined - is my money not as good as yours? Maybe you want to comment about my skin color while you are at it?

So if you are so darn good what about all the coins you are racking up getting 1st or 2nd place? Well, I have a solution for you. Don't participate. Boycott Baal and Cerb. They won't be killed without you. Try it out, we won't miss you

[mattp169]

Vatoloco why do you keep trying to bring race in to every discussion with people who disagree with you. I find it very demeaning and wrong please stop - I would ask moderators to actually remove both this comment and vatoloco's race comments on this thread and on the other similar thread about this matter

[Revan]

Finally see something different in my arena. As of posting this I am rank 30 and can see 28,27,26,25, and 19. Interesting change to say the least honestly not sure how this will affect my gameplay if at all.

[VatoLoco]

I am making a point and finally it seems to be getting across to you. Some of us coin some of us don't, some of us coin less than others. Leveling the game field is what the change is about and the change for Baal/Cerb is a very good change. Those of you who coin heavily will more than likely remain top 3 in any Baal/Cerb event. Why be so upset over some randomness in the final blow? 10M coins - you make more than that in the damage you do to Baal/Cerb. And if you read my name who might get a clue... Especially when you read my avatar.

I highly doubt it will stop any of you from continuing to participate in the Baal/Cerb events. And the argument about someone logging in for the final 5 minutes of Baal/Cerb and getting the final hit? Well, that is part of the game and has always been. If you cannot accept some randomness in a game, then this is certainly not the game to play. Anyone want to pick a card?

[mattp169]

Vato you apparently are a very strange person if you think you need to point out your skin color or anyone else's to get your point across, and have derailed this thread into your own personal area to bash people for you own racially motivated reasons. I am highly disappointed that the moderators have not stepped in and removed your racial statements

[mattp169]

we already have a lot of randomness in the game. Rune temple. Sanctification (o god not magic attack please), tavern.

I'm hoping the last few remaining aspects of the game that rely on strategy, hard work, effort, and mental aptitude are not nerfed further.

agreed one hundred percent.

[thetruepoolgod_5607735]

just want to say that the arena change that was made today is stupid. already you have it so that you can not grab stuff from a vip player because they have AUTO COLLECT now you make it so that as you are moving up the ladder you over shoot gems so you can not even grab some on the way up. so anyone else see this as a problem?

sure as if the advantage for those that can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a game is not enough make changes so that players that have tried to support the game with small purchases are now shunned as well. wtg support who knows with these sort of changes even the lower level PAYING players will stop playing as well. don't fix stuff like the tavern no that would make to much sense never have i played a game where there is suppose to be a shuffle and you click the same card over and over ( more than 200 times ) and never does a gold card land on it . sort of takes away the allusion of being random.

[mattp169]

This means that if you're gunning for an arena stake at a certain arena number, you have a big chance of overshooting it.

This also means some people can hit you but you can't hit them back since you can't even see them.

Exactly, and why can some people hit people lower ranked then them and others can't How is that right in any sense of the imagination. I've had people tell me that they got all their rep for the day by hitting a lower ranked person over and over and over non stop until they maxed out on rep. Why should this be happening. How does that allow people to move up easier? It doesn't
