    Patch Notes 2/22/14

    Hey everyone! We're releasing a new patch soon to make some improvements in the Star system. Note: there may be some changes before the patch goes live!

    Star Levels
    • The maximum Stars level for heroes has been increased to 18, adding 3 more levels!
    • It is no longer possible for heroes to lose Star levels upgrade attempts fail!
    • Medal requirements to increase Star levels have been adjusted. It now takes fewer medals to increase at lower levels and more at higher levels.


    We hope you enjoy these streamlined improvements! Feel free to comment and let us know what you think!

    Although its not possible to lose star attempts, would there be levels where you just fail and remain on the same level?

    Even though you're catering to the players' wants, I think that players would still find a way to complain about the star levels.
    As long as they're not the top dog in their server, players will complain about anything.

    These improvements sound ok.

    BUT

    Please remove free blue and purple medals from the Championship Warfare Redeem Shop.

    This is so that even with the easier Star System, players would need to earn or buy their medals.

    Around 90% of all CWF tickets are used to buy free medals nowadays.

    This may be true for some people, but not for me. I stopped buying stars from CWF over a month ago as it didn't really help with the fail rate as it is. Been spending mine on Adam cards to speed up the process a bit on sainting him. I figured that'd be something more worth while given the current fail system for stars. Not saying I disagree, just that I know on server one, it's not only myself that gets cards from CWF instead of stars.

    That doesnt matter.
    Leave the medals in CWF.

    This patch does not mean that its going to be easier to gain star levels.
    If it was going to take 200 blue medals to get your hero form 7 to 9 - I am pretty sure it still will take 200 blue medals. All this does it let you sit at 8 while you use the last 100 of them.
    It will change player behavior slightly.
    We wont have to use most of our inventory to store medals until we feel like we have enough to try an upgrade.

    But my gut feeling is the number of medals we use will remain unchanged or possibly go higher. SO removing them from CWF shop is just hurting everyone, while leaving them in the shop will not make it any easier to upgrade stars then it is now.

    The only ones I feel who would benefit from removing them form the CWF shop under the new system are the ones who have already got many of their heroes to very high star levels, probably using the medals from the CWF shop.

    Dawn did not say this change is like the saint system where the more you use at once the better your success rate. He just said it will cost more medals at higher levels to attempt an upgrade.

    I can actually interpret that several ways and envision a system where Herby has a point and a system where I am correct. SO lets see the system first before we complain about it.

    Dawns wording is incomplete I feel. It did not say if the success rates are adjusted. SO any conclusion of how the star system will work, including my own are just speculation.

    ow? i though 90% was redeeming ADA cards? since medals currently mostly fail and turn into thin air.

    Your pretty much saying they should get rid of the whole CW prize shop saying that cause everything in there is free and able to help players advance. You seem to think everyone should have to buy everything i guess.

    Stars are not cost efficient, because they are an unreliable means to increase your power (currently). I always get gold to fill the coffers of the rune temple.

It just means you dont lose a star when you fail. I feel it will be no easier then before, just you wont have to save up 150-200 medals at once to get to 9 from 7. Instead you can just keep trying every time you get 3 and there will be no negative consequence if it fails by losing a star or 2 and ending up less powerful then where you started. It could still cost you 150 medals to get from 8 stars to 9.
    Eh, then they should increase the stack size of stars, because 150 stars with 5 star stack isn't going to fit in my inventory which is filled with plans and mats,
