So much to say here on this one response.
First Dawn Thanks for checking in to things and trying to get us some info. But I think we should get the info before the changes. This patch has done more then just changed banish rewards. Lab costs have changed in a good way and card broker costs changed to 30 gems as well. Plus there was a glitch or 2 fixed. The community should be told first, it would make Dawn's job a lot easier.
As usual it is the fact that we dont get warnings or any information about changes that upsets people so much. This leads to the rants and raves in the forum.
If uCool is such a small company one would think that communication between the entire team is easy, so why is it Dawn you seem to be the last to know about things? That just seems odd to me if you are the community representative. The company needs to do a much better job at communicating within the organization so the community rep knows everything that is happening and can handle any and all issues in the community with as much knowledge and efficiency as possible. This unfortunately is not happening and Dawn you should let your bosses know that if they changed things a little your job would be easier and you'd have a happier customer base, which should lead to increased sales.
Now this is the second time in a week that Dawn's response has ridiculed a forum member's opinion. Calling Yelsha's statement absurd and nonsense is unprofessional and I believe an apology is due to Yelsha.
In terms to how fast there is new content....
Well it is taking much longer then any one expected. Once again if we knew what is going on and were given updates from the dev team with ETAS, then many people would calm down over new content. But there is almost no reason that the searing desert bosses are closed off now. They should have been powered up with fllips and stats by now. ANd getting a few HR bosses out should not be an issue since they are just powered up version of quest bosses that have been out for months.
No one expects new content every two weeks on an indefinite basis. However this forum has presented enough bugs,glitches, minor changes and new concepts to produce alot of updates. These updates may just be fixes and minor improvements to game play. But none-the-less the devs have more then enough to do so they could actually release updates to the software on a weekly basis for many months.
I do find the fact that the dev team spends more energy in changing old content than developing new content disturbing. I played beta, i played server 1 since day 1, I have started a couple characters on other servers from time to time. The first say 10-20 missions have been updated,revised and changed probably 8 times since beta. The sad thing about this fact is the energy spent on this would have been better spent on newer content because the majority of people who spend money here will never see those changes. Mainly new players and the occasional veteran who starts a new server will see ALL those many changes to the beginning missions. So all the story line changes, graphics changes,map changes etc seem wasted on the vast majority of the player base. I think most of us would have preferred the energy used on these changes to the early missions be put into releasing more content. i think this constant need to tweak the old content disturbing. The old content is fine. New content would be much more appreciated.
Now is the reduced amount of coins and credits a major deal? No its not. It is a stupid in my opinion. Most of us realized it was to slow down progress. Now many have said they are tired of progress being slowed down in forums, so why the devs would ignore that fact is beyond my understanding.
But the major issue is they changed a major part of the game with no announcement or warning. This needs to stop. JUST TELL US THINGS BEFORE AND AS THEY ARE HAPPENING.
The "it's more fun to figure it out yourself" concept is being applied to every part of the game lately. As you can see by the majority of posts about changes, it is not always more fun to figure it out yourself.
Ucool should make whatever changes they want and add or delete content as they want.
If they wanted to
- reduce rewards -FINE
- take away stuns in banish -FINE
- not release any new HR bosses until May - FINE
- never merge a server - FINE
JUST TELL THE PLAYER BASE WHAT IS GOING ON. TELL US AHEAD OF TIME. KEEP US INFORMED.
If that was done 50% of the posts on this forum would not even exist, people would be happier and probably spending more money on the game and getting more people to play the game as well.
