Absolutely agree, this theme park stuff is rubbish, yet people are spending on it when you look at the points some have got

vale yoke
#

But that's a lot of work

stable cosmos
#

As there are loads of games like this the code is probably open source so they can just port it in with minimal dev time needed

#

Easy to recycle someone elses work. Harder, and more expensive, to develop something truly new

#

Which is a shame because the stuff they did that was "new" was relatively decent if they'd played with it more rather than hurr durr money go brrr

#

We could have had more done with explorer trail (see daryl) and had an expansion to an rts format a wee bit with joint exercises and golgoroth which woukd have fit the game a little more. Nope. Heres a stupid mahjong game thats impossible

well at least they got the name of one thing almost right when they named it Abyssal but they should have called it Abysmal

Well i agree with you. My fellow MOD will make feedback for you and he will be needing your comments in making it a wonderful feed back and i am certain it will be an amazing feedback

Unfortunately, I've been pulled into multiple servers this morning so I'm behind on making my own feedback. I appreciate the assistance 💚

#

So, where is our +20%? Why is 18.99%?

solid tiger
#

Revenue generated is how much is spent per minute.
Traffic bonus is how many people are spending!

forest kiln
solid tiger
#

With that bonus, traffic should be
1.27 (+20%)/m

Or
1.27(+21.02%)/m
Depending on where the 1.02% comes from!

But this is state of survival.. everything is always fudged 😂

#

Nothing is more fudged than the prices 🤣

tardy night
#

The 20% works like troop training speed (I think)

200+30% (depicted bonus) = 230 > real bonus you get is 15% not 30%

vale yoke
#

Ew maths.

#

#

It's this going to account for dst, the alliance log & mailbox never accounts for dst 😂🤷

#

How many will get a refund of troops players killed off to state transfer before this became a thing?

#

No and none to answer both my questions 🤷 yup, it's sos, sounds about right 😂

#

Still going to use UTC as we are from different time zones 🤣

vale yoke
#

Right!

digital glacier
#

There was an easy way to do it.
Just put it in relation to trap 🤷 +/- hours 😂 or,.....

Put a marker with a time, for example. At 18 UTC, put attack marker and write 18 UTC... , and in that players mailbox, there will be a mail saying 18 UTC, if they look at the time under that mail it will be accurate (excluding dst, If observed)

#

It's easy if they aren't lazy pos. 😂

vale yoke
#

Mufasa, you would tell me to quit tbh

#

If you even knew

digital glacier
#

Yup.

#

You'd be like "why have you been doing so much work? Just stop. Transfer. Quit."

The most memorable moment for the entirety of this anniversary will still be that they figured out in test states that f2p were able to progress to milestone 4 and nerfed both footfall and spending per minute for the event.

digital glacier
#

Maths hard. 😂

#

Which stage do ya stop getting beyond level 2 milestone?

# tardy night Celebrating anniversary in the right spirit

They are right on par with my expectations of this event.

Fun enough to "entertain" only the addicted players
Boring enough to make any sane person want to cry at the overabundance of events
Less rewarding than labyrinth unless you spend the cost of at least a brand new high end luxury/sports car

With a free bonus of carpel tunnel syndrome

#

And bugs

#

Can't forget the bugs 😌

thorny plume
#

In stage 3 I have to spend twice as much as in stage 2 to get to same level and amount of vouchers.
In stage 2 I had to spend twice as much as in stage 1 to get to same level and amount of vouchers as stage 1

digital glacier
#

Repeat cycle for the full 7 stage.

thorny plume
#

I max buildings first second of stage, yet i need to buy twice as many packs now

digital glacier
#

disclaimer the spending amount may be amplified more in later stages to 3 or 4 times as much.

thorny plume
#

Yes

#

The greed increases in corrolation with the stages

#

I have around 11000 of the vouchers figured id go half assed and still get 30k vouchers, or so it seemed

#

There is no chance, this is a very sneaky way. Using gamblers fallacy to lure players into spending.
They lure more people into beeing fed up and quitting I believe

#

I miss when anniversary was about the players and not the bonuses

tardy night

#

The airship one was kind of fun. But omfg a month long.
Oh yeah. I got a paid survey and they asked me about the event.
I told them no. Not a month long. So many bugs blah blah, I asked how many others said this, she said almost everyone said the event was too long. How many was that, she said at least 40+ people I've spoken to. 😂
Oh look, there's been 2 anniversaries since then that's been a month long or longer.

#

Good point, I feel dumb enough to go mow my lawn now

Oh well maybe next anniversary it will be about the players spending their time and money for 4 years + 🤷

Its not always a grabfest

digital glacier
#

It's ok. Even geniuses have their dumb moments.

digital glacier
tardy night
#

1kish are test state, 1 stage ahead

#

And anniversary always gets worse. To the point that many stop being aware that an anniversary ever ran.

thorny plume
#

When I checked after reset today I was certain it was a bug, because how are we supposed to reach theese goals when they keep lifting the bar. Even with everything maxed from the second you can max if spending seems to double on each stage to keep up. So on last stage km expecting MASSIVE income for funplus

#

Atleast they did the curveball early, stage 2 to 3 it started so players got the chance to pull out before they spendt a band. Hopefully more will pull out.

tardy night
#

The key players won't. 1 mil milestone for ranks.

digital glacier
#

Egg smash and ASTRO event. For anniversary. Lol.
What's next. A mok job of the RE "run and gun" event for stage 4?
Stage 5 a repeat of stage 1 for laziness 🤷
Repeat for stage 6 and 7 😂

swift sleet
#

You're all misinformed. The celebration isn't for the players, it's for the financial dept at funplus

#

It all makes sense now

Thank you mod thief of joy. The players submitted exactly the same feedback last year and look what it got us 👀 It's even more pay to win this year

#

Someone should use reverse psychology and see if that works. We want more stuff to buy on the 2025 anniversary!!!

vale yoke
#

It doesn't work

#

We did that

#

Bad idea

digital glacier
#

If they didn't reset our progress earned each stage, it might actually be worth trying to get the amounts. But if I'm max builds and fllor before I generate revenue, and I know the guaranteed buffs I get, and what my score will be.
If I'm not within 20% of reaching that milestone. I'm not gonna lose sleep over this event.

mighty gorge
#

Its easier to stop caring

digital glacier
#

The events already started.
They're not gonna change the format.
It gives them less revenue if they do.

vale yoke

They won't change, they are incapable of change

and it filters down into the teams here

#

When will we be able to bind these accounts??? Only accounts in 700 states work when will other states get this?

mighty gorge
#

I see the % flash numbers are still off again also

So the pack on the left is better value than the pack on the right. I think not.

Immerse yourself in the anniversary event because you will not not be swarmed with packs. 🤣
Can't even get something useless as vouchers for hero statues without topping up.Or past level 2 on the stage task without buying packs.

Agency being removed helps fart+. No free choice means they can plan everything out.

It started with formations being a strict 60-20-20. Now it percolates down to fart+ deciding when you win via matchmaking. What you can win via placements in events like SR or seeding in koth, and how much you spend to get anything via gacha.

Players hop in, swipe and are fed the illusion of playing a game.

#

Grind the best, doesn't matter. Skills might as well not exist. Time played? A Waste.

#

You're gently nudged to spend, not to win, but merely to progress. Till it's the norm.

@blazing kayak

#

You can make it be correct, but your phone won't observe dst automatically.
If your time zone is - 6.
Then make it - 5 and turn off dst.
It should give you the same local time and make it correct when you do the utc to local time switch in game.

#

Not worth the trouble for me. I know utc pretty fkn easily by now 🤣

#

I will just stick with UTC I am used to it now

#

😄

digital glacier
#

1723 days. I got it down pat 🤣

#

Just know. Winter time will be correct. It'll work then 🥰

#

So, a very minimal amount of credit given for the devs to implement something half-A. That only took 4 years to accomplish.

That they have been collecting the data on already since I started the game more than 1700 days ago 🤣

I've honestly met more amazing people with great insight, intellectual curiosity, and a focus on creative and fair play here shaking my fists at the devs than any other game I've played.

#

But yeah, Chek's kinda... Right. Not a lot has been fixed. We were complaining about some of this same stuff last anniversary, and all they did was change the format and make it worse.

We eventually grew to like the Fortune Tycoon from last year. I won't be gaslit into enjoying this county fair thing. Especially as I did used to be a carnival worker and even I didn't take people for this much money.

#

Also I got to yell obscenities and rage bait people into playing my games.

#

Plus the after hours sock sliding

#

If you've not surfed down the huge slides after the carnival shuts down half tilted off cheap adult beverages... You're not really missing much. Maybe some broken bones.

They made anniversary beautifully, so many ingenious ideas to get people to spend more.

First and second stages of event were made to hook people up- look, I is not THAT expensive to get enough traffic bundles for all rewards. Then comes third, fourth, fifth... And amount of bundles needed is raising massively...

Cant they ever make one good real event? Or at least one that cost normal amounts of money? By that I mean around 20-30$? This is what one event should cost, we are so far away from any sort of "normal" here, I am too lazy to do exact calculations but anniversary will easily need thousands of $$, and not low end thousands like one or two. Just take a look how many points minimum are needed for ranking rewards 🤣

#

All that talk about forgeting bundles and bad experiences...

#

Buying 2 extra building slots along with having 3 purple greeter pets should be enough for all basic point threahold rewards

#

Instead it will be barely enough to reach starting prizes in later stages 🤣

stable cosmos
#

They USED to be micro. $1 for something fun is nbd. $209 for trash is no longer micro

#

You make me pay the same price as an AAA game you best give me everything in perpetuity

vale yoke
#

Mainly because regulations are slow to respond, technology advances quickly, and once companies realized they could basically charge for everything - well, they did.

#

We have a bunch of old fuddy-duddies in various governments who either take money from tech to overlook things, or don't know enough about tech so they don't understand things.
Until someone's grandkid spends too much on Schmoblox off mommy and daddy's card, or someone important has their identity stolen, and then it's a problem which must be stopped.
Or it's TikTok.

Speaking of, I wonder how some governments might actually feel about the Terms of Use updates.

#

I'm 41 years old, and if I write my senator and my local congressman and talk about some video game, they're gonna roll their eyes right out of socket. Because they still think kids play games, therefore problems like ours aren't serious until they're made serious.

See also: EA, Epic, etc.

#

And most players don't understand, these companies have conventions and meetings and different little retreats and stuff where they compare notes, win awards, showcase what they're working on, and even just hang out. So these guys all know each other.
It's no coincidence there's so much overlap in a lot of these games, or that there's an equally competitive set of markets among different IPs.

#

These companies have market strategists, and hire psychologists and research analysts to know exactly what to target and how. And they actively discuss this stuff
There's reports businesses can purchase which actively discuss these things, in some cases for pretty cheap.

#

Even here on server, we've had people showing up talking about the other title that's basically this but isn't this.

Some of us understand that it is intended to get that community ready to join the larger one here, to get them hooked in and invested so they don't sink themselves. Because we've seen it before. That's a reality of the mobile gaming industry.

Brilliant idea, make special trucks with nice rewards and make it so that first hit steals all the best stuff....

At least it could have been rng so if you were lucky you could still have pearls in truck after 2 attacks but no.

@meager python the clock is 99.99999999% off by 1 hour when many states and places observe daylight saving time.
So, if you set your clocks ahead 1 hour in the spring.... Well, you're going to have to wait for winter to come when the clocks go back 1 hour for it to match correctly.

#

Pearls a just a bonus we never receive 🤣

It is bs that they get looted in 1 hit though!

#

But it does give an opportunity to get the other stuff that would normally get looted!

They should swap those silly cards… it’s anniversary event for Christ sake.
If you can’t give f2p -mid level spenders a free set for an anniversary event then what is the point of playing

There are 88 other sets… not like giving us a free set will destroy the game

Gawd. The waiting ... I was just complaining yesterday about forcing people to stare at screens in order to drum up false engagement metrics, and then they made the crates have animations you have to sit and watch, plus the stone rolls away, and no way to click "skip animations".
And waiting for the claimable rewards which, I swear, have been nerfed. Can't prove it but with so many people complaining about their claimed pulls now versus when the event first came around, clearly something has been affected on the backend

slate fossil

I'll tell you what...you explain to me what it is & how maybe it could be improved, I'll type it up & you can approve it to your liking & I'll submit it

Mirror, I'll work on my own feedback if you wanna help Island out.

slate fossil
vale yoke
#

Did we just share a brain?

slate fossil
cosmic tulip
#

Sounds perfect.
The game is a social game but has limitations and discord is used to bridge the gap. There are some TA in trade that may help others within our alliance that you may not need but have spotted. Currently we use discord to discuss/ highlight them. Then the player then needs to manually search auction / notice items to find it. It would be more useful if we could share the TA directly to the chat, where others can then open the TA and either directly like the item so it appears in there favourite list or place a bid. This would save so much time.

#

Sharing TA is already available from own collection so it wouldn’t be too much effort from the dev’s team to extend it

slate fossil
cosmic tulip
#

No, sorry

#

I mean. Go into auction, press share and share to alliance chat.

slate fossil
#

okay, so a more fluid capability within the already structured Auction format?

cosmic tulip
#

Then from the alliance chat, open ta -> view -> then have an option to give it a heart or open the ta with in auction to allow you to bid

#

Yeah. Just develop what’s already in place.

slate fossil
#

Okay- I think I follow- I must admit I am in the new stages of understanding Tempest Arms- so I haven't delved into the auctions space as of yet...Just took a browse around and that's about it

cosmic tulip
#

Hahah I understand

Then Island's suggestions would make your experience moving forward much more improved, I think

But, not to worry that won't have an effect on the efficiency of the feedback!

Okay so for example, I find a really nice Ta that I think would help you to improve your battle power. I share it to alliance chat. Then you could then see what I’m talking about and decide if you want to bid on it.

I am going to draft this up into feedback & I will post link here for you too go check it out & then further you can upvote, as well

cosmic tulip

Thank you so much

vale yoke
#

So if Island and I are in the same alliance, and Island knows I'm looking for a better TA of a specific type, Island might say "hey Lia, I found this in the Auction. Check it out" and share the auction listing in AC
From there, I can access the direct listing, and decide if it suits my needs.

And vice versa. Maybe I list a piece I know someone can benefit from, but since I can't directly give it in trade to an alliance player, I can instead share the Auction listing to them.

# slate fossil I always believe if we don't tell 'em what we want or need- they can't know

I always believe that after 4+ years of trying to get them to listen that there is enough to show they don't', including attempting:

  • Consistent, very detailed levels of feedback that have been ignored and voted highly
  • Hidden 'shadow' conversations with the senior moderating team and others alike
  • Persistent conversations with GMs and Mods and CM's
  • Attempts to improve the processes for the betterment of the community (and have been met with defensive stances and disdain)
  • Specific targeted, closed loop discord channels with 'experienced' community members

I think I'll go with my experience on this, thanks.

Cerb, as well as Chek, and others here are exceptionally insightful, and can offer perspectives from various viewpoints. Some moderators find more outspoken players intimidating or have a difficult time relating to them. Sometimes there is an issue where "tone" is mistaken, and context or nuance of what is said can be ignored.
Some of this is a language barrier issue, some is simply due to the mod being maybe a newer player or not being as informed of the history of the game and the issues players have had.

At the end of the day, I have found that, should a moderator take the time to really dig at the root of players frustrations, there can be better understanding all around. But also, sometimes moddies might default back to their statements they're shown in training on the mod server, or have used in their scenarios, and because many of us longer term players already know those, we might be a little more reactionary to the use of those.

#

Things like "I understand your frustration", "mods are players, like you", and "I am sorry this has ruined your good mood" tend to make players feel very much like we have been Customer Serviced, rather than actually heard.
It helps for newer mods who might default on those because of comfort (especially when English isn't a first language) to change phrasing or state - as Mirror did - that they are not aware of an event or feature but are interested in learning more to better advocate.

Players tend to respond better when mods can keep their Code of Conduct in mind while also validating our concerns, without using the same jargon the company defaults to in their Comms.

And we get really upset when a mod might come here and invalidate our experiences, in terms of things like loot draw odds, the RNG, etc.

#

Mirror, I'm lauding you here. Lemme talk about how you're doing a good job, by providing examples of what previous moderators who have been less successful here have done imperfectly. Lol

#

Which also serves to help the moderators lurking learn a little more about navigating what is possibly one of the most contentious channels here

mighty gorge
# slate fossil I too, am a player, as well as a disgruntled player, in the past also! The hard...

Its not that I'm disgruntled, not at all. I got infuriated at things, I have as others, even tried very hard to convince people here that the feedback process was/is broken, but lack of experience and knowledge or indeed willingness to do anything put that to pasture. That's before we come onto the facets of the game itself, and how FP treat its community and members or apportion responses to feedback in a manner that is completely off target because they choose to interpret and not discuss or listen. I could wax lyrical all day here over the 100's if not 1000's of times the same repeated efforts and issues have been raised.

vale yoke
#

I log on for things with my family, and I might fiddle around for a couple minutes here and there, but what's the point when I get two clicks of an event before I hit a paywall or specifically tooled mechanics to incentivize spending.

Everything ends in spending. There's no f2p or low/mid paths, without the end goal being "make them spend (more)". We have families, living expenses, jobs, school, and whole lives outside of the game.

A smart and able development company sees that and uses those to aid in developing both an interesting and lucrative model. FunPlus (and some other similar companies) see that and go "they don't need lives, they need us"

#

Mind, I used to be on for hours at a time, even with the lag and crashing. It was nothing to close the game tab, restart, and get right back to what I was doing.
In some cases I was happy doing it. But why bother anymore?
Almost five years in this game and the entire time, the customer experience has steadily declined. And they don't care, as long as they have the next batch hooked and ready to come in when they shut down their spoof.

Has anyone taken the time to remind FunPlus that they are a Venture Capital Firm and we don't actually need them? Nothing they give us is a necessity which can't also be replaced by taking our business elsewhere.
Even though other IPs are basically just as bad, so many people would rather do that than stick around here.
FunPlus has managed to dampen the love of gaming for so many people, and for those who only just started their gaming experience (and this is their first mobile game), FunPlus has made them never want to pick up another one.

I have scratch cards left over from Stage 2 on one account, so I would assume they carry. That said, the devs could always pull some shenanigans and call it an optimization.

And the RNG thing is that there isn't RNG in the literal sense. It's like a street grifter saying you have 49.98% chance of nothing and .02% chance of finding the pea under the shell, and still saying it's random odds.

I just meant this “event” isn’t new and it has been happening last year also, and sadly i can’t be objective as im one of those who don’t spend for “useful” things in game but i did spend 2 times for stickers a_sheeeesh_cry_shock_no a_sheeeesh_cry_shock_no

I just want some stickers not to cost any body parts 😂 its a sticker. Not a hq skin.
Limiting a more enjoyable game experience for spenders only (for 90% of them) , is not enhancing the game experience. 😑

#

4 years for them to add a "claim all" button to a lot of things, yet, we still don't have a" donate all" button for alliance donations or the trading post or anything else for that matter 🤷

Here’s an idea, stickers with 10% lethality boosts. I’m sure credit cards will burn 😂

digital glacier

🙄

#

Welp, there goes getting a free sticker ever again 🤦

#

Keep the stickers free please!

tardy night
#

Stickers with 0.01% chance of 50% kills peepothink

tardy night
#

Usable once per 30 days. Stacks.

tardy night
#

Costs less than a sticker does.

#

But it's a 100% chance. 40% troops are removed at start of battle and don't participate in it.

#

Why not a boost when you use a sticker in chat

#

Proportional to the number of messages that day

visual frigate
#

That's quite alright hehe

Why Hero statue are different size , if they are all equal size then it's will be better.

Hello Mod, please our state name add to march list. in our state 1/2 member high spend but state is dead. there is no more fun.

#

Is there a mod online?

vale yoke
#

I think the merge list, but that's not something you can control.

#

I'm guessing the state is mostly dead and they need new life

sage girder
#

Ye it possibly what he meant.. sadly we indeed do not control/get to decide ehat states go into merging..

vale yoke
#

It's 1170, so it might be on the list when the next merge/transfer is, if there is a merge portion Shrug

#

Looking back, it looks like they may have been skipped in a few of the merges from May and July, and instead had transfers.

#

I hope something good comes for them in the future

sage girder
#

Sadly , devs sometimes skip states so no guarantee, but maybe some transfers will save his state

vale yoke
sage girder
#

Also true, but I personally would wait for transferring to begin, else none really pays attention to those channels if no event.

Best option, pow/ad/svs friends making

#

Worked for me at least

vale yoke
#

Whole facts right there, and a very good piece of advice

#

Duels is especially good, and I found that Nexus - for all its meh - was also good for networking and just making friends. Smart!

sage girder
#

Nexus was very fun, at least chatting wise (also why I love migo chat)

vale yoke
#

Even if we got locked in, we could chat. It made the irritation more amusing

spark kindle
#

Nexus was more beneficial for players from many different aspects

#

I wish it comes back next season

vale yoke
#

Agreed. It had its problems, but most of those were things which would be easily tooled around with. It was still something that not only was more enjoyable, IMHO, but had more achievable goalposts.

#

Or maybe it just felt like it.

#

Idk

spark kindle
#

They just needed to fix the defense problem in buildings

#

Easier to get points, not limited to strict time slots, easier to mine, safety zone for svs and war states

#

You meet new people, make new friends

#

I can go on and on

vale yoke
#

Honestly Nexus just dragged, really, and it wasn't cool getting locked in with nothing to do.

We had a rough time defending, but we still felt like we could get points and have fun even when we got kicked around.

spark kindle
#

Yes, exactly

#

And as much as long events get tiring, it also bring alliances together through a sense of camaraderie

#

I believe we bonded more through those times

vale yoke
#

It was really good for testing out things as well, when you knew you weren't going to be able to move someone but you just wanted to see how the reports looked.
And I chatted more with people in different alliances just making jokes and being silly

spark kindle
#

I'm happy for you

#

Sounds like you had a pleasant experience

visual frigate
#

Test of abstinence

vale yoke
# spark kindle Sounds like you had a pleasant experience

Mostly, yes, even despite getting locked behind our checkpoint several times. It was still mostly enjoyable. Just very long when it could be a single to two day event with similar mechanics to add intensity, while still be "open" to mining, etc daily.

I am glad that nexus was enjoyable aside from the few bugs here and there BlushFrog after reading I am actually realizing I haven't played it at all this season, kinda missing out 🥲

they cause too much lag

tardy night
#

If they ever bring nexus back, matchmaking should be equal, not a seeded predetermined farce.

west fog
tardy night
#

And 6 teams rather than 12 would help a bit.

sage girder
#

I'm ok with 12, 6 brings MM vibe

#

Just the slow progression of nexus was annoying

vernal moss
vale yoke
#

It wouldn't necessarily need to be made into a smaller map so much as teams would essentially occupy double their start spaces.

tardy night
#

Which gives people more things to do than stare at a wall cuz devs wanna gift the map to 1 alliance.

vale yoke
#

I still think they should also add smaller reconnaissance bases or something between start points so even if/when people do get locked in, they can fight amongst themselves

#

It was like staring out at a snowball fight and you're stuck sick inside

coarse verge
#

They shouldn’t let players defend for a whole hour

tardy night
#

They did have them, got removed cuz they wanna limit rewards I guess? The original map had 5 or 6 bases to take enroute to center fight.

coarse verge
#

Defense should be limited , it killed alliances with limited RL and players

vale yoke
#

So let's do it like this...

still tapir
#

As long as alliance mine is going with nexus sure. With out it progress was hard. But yes lots of glory points and easier to get skins. Plus the ability to hide during svs

vale yoke
#

In my ideal Nexus, I would have:

  • 6 alliances instead of 12
  • buildings between alliance starting points which can be challenged even after lockouts to the main map
  • battles to be reduced to a couple days at most; not a week
#

Now you go lol

sage girder
#

You are describing mining mayhem Mochi_drink

vale yoke
#

Shh

#

We start with "In my ideal Nexus, I would have MM"

#

Lol

graceful drum
#

I liked Nexus. It was possible to get a lot of Glory from that event.

vale yoke
#

It was basically the bigger cousin of MM that doesn't really get invited to family reunions but they're at every holiday and you're like "so... Played any good games lately?"

#

It had its issues, but still preferable to duels imho

#

Side note: I'm the cousin

tardy night
sage girder
#

Duels is funnn apart of course from the towering tactic...

vale yoke
#

Towerpalooza

sage girder
#

Which is redundant, why not have sterile area for offenders just like they have for defenders

#

I mean, I am also towering of course, but still

#

The first two events when it was released, we tried to be fair

vale yoke
#

Right, or a lot of people have been asking for set march times. So even if you're km away, you still have one set time like dino rallies

#

We can't tower, we would have to rely on minis or alt alliances and I just don't feel like it.

#

That's a lot of work for a silly event

graceful drum
vale yoke
#

Oh we absolutely need a new one.

#

So what's a fair standard march time, do you think? Some people might balk at one minute, but personally I think that would add a level of urgency.
Thoughts?

graceful drum
vale yoke

Of course!

Imma reply to myself with my old "how make nexus fun" post

#

Especially the "it's too long"

Heres the duels one. Its much shorter

midnight aspen
#

thought you are the resident writer.

vale yoke
#

Several reasons why I might ask a moderator for help, though generally I do pen my own lol

#

Usually it's because I am second guessing how to word something, or if an idea might feel unfair or imbalanced still.

midnight aspen
#

of cos. we're always happy to help

#

I hate the 4mins march

#

and finding a spot amongst towers.

#

🤣

vale yoke
#

But also, with newer mods, I like to ask for assistance to help them further integrate with the feedback community overall, so more trust can be fostered and they can feel comfortable in their moderation role here.

#

So how the feedback is constructed often acts as an example to others of what they could expect from that specific mod in terms of guidance and help, and ensuring the tone and subject matter stays intact and remains relevant.

#

I found Danu's assistance enjoyable, as my husband was about to serve dinner so time was of the essence.

#

Everything she said is exactly what we discussed and I still feel like it was a good interaction

split crane
#

Is it possible to switch to a level 7 effect for a statue if it is already level 10?

vale yoke
#

Oh. Oh I don't know. If it's not, wouldn't that just be a nifty option?

#

To essentially choose which phase of skin effect or aesthetic you would prefer upon piece or set completion?

thorny latch
vale yoke
#

Dear diary, learned something new today.

midnight aspen
#

yeah there's no options to go backwards.

#

why would you want that though. for the effects?

vale yoke

Just for the look, I presume, not to affect the bonuses

split crane
midnight aspen
#

yeah unfortunately its a done deal for that particular one.

thorny latch
#

I think it would be nice if we could change the effects

midnight aspen
#

I wish there were lesser statues/decorations. 🤣

thorny latch
#

noooo😅

stable cosmos
#

I wish that they didn't do anything that made you materially stronger. March speed to infected, to mines. Gathering speed. Impact to alliance resources. Maybe a buff to your gain of alliance currency. None of the morale or rally cap stuff... no attack or defence buffs.

vernal moss
stable cosmos
#

Too late now. F---plus have decided on the money making strategy

surreal star
#

Just maxed out everything before the stage starts, and they're telling me the best I can do is the 3rd prize in the line without giving them money?

Screw them

#

And what burns even more is that I already payed to unlock the extra plots

#

Thought this was supposed to be a great event, and all I see is them screwing over the little guys...again

fathom otter
#

its been the same every stage, just made 80 on the last one, all maxed

surreal star
#

It's getting worse, actually, because last stage, I hit the 4th prize for 500 tickets

#

So, they actually appear to have made each stage a sliding scale against the low spender/F2P

#

I'm not even going to bother chasing this event anymore. I've been catching the advertiser, visiting the other parks to get the 20% boost, and what do I get? Not even a change of an extra 1000 coins in my stage revenue. What's the point?

#

They want to keep chasing us little fellas out of the game, it's whatever. They'll get their paychecks at the end of the day and run when it's finally not profitable, only to move onto another cash cow

#

It's clearly not like they give a damn towards us, just what we can give them

#

Nice to know that means nothing to them

tidal apex
#

Is it just me or they butchered Jungle Gems? Bought few extra pickaxes, last time with same pucharses I was beating stage 30 at this time, now I am at 24. Barely any drops other than biocaps...

It feels like they keep on making event worse every time ot returns 🤣

marsh charm
steel musk
#

they did

tidal apex
# steel musk same here

It really was great event, could complete statue sets and level them cheaply compared to other options. Looks like they noticed and messed with it so that it is no longer "cheap"

steel musk
#

well it's sos 🤣

tidal apex
#

Now every new piece of decoration have its own skill

#

Then there is extra skill unlocked when you get whole set to 2* 🤣

#

I bet even devs have no idea how all of it works in battle engine or if it even works

vale yoke
#

"They want more stuff"
We really don't
"They want more buffs"
So the maxed players can be maxier and the gap widens?
"They want more packs"
We're broke, banks closed, money tree died.
"More events"
There's events? Where? In between the mini games?

tidal apex
#

Anniversary is soooooo generous with rewards if you did not spend shocked_froggie

#

You can reach first milestone 😄

#

And thats all

#

Next stage propably will be unable to even get to first reward

vale yoke
#

I've had so much fun accomplishing nothing, it has inspired me to just... Not log in as much

#

Definitely didn't get higher than level 9 on Jungle Gems because why even bother logging in every three hours? I have better things to do. Like my hair and nails.

tidal apex
#

I set up alarms and all that stuff, only missing a bit of time when sleeping but this time around I had whole 3 rewards so far other than biocaps...

steel musk
#

so there no cs in game?

tidal apex
#

I mean missing time in event, I slept 8h and did not wake up every 3 to collect

steel musk
#

I just see AI

#

dumb AI tho

vale yoke
#

It's just as effective as CS

steel musk
#

how to report something now

vale yoke
#

It's said you can just type a couple words like report

#

Or bug report

#

But idk

steel musk
#

where

#

I did wrote%% but took me to AI

stable cosmos
#

Its just fancier words around their prior system. No AI, just preprogrammed responses that look like it. If you word the same query in a different manner AI would give a different response. This thing just gives you a premade paragraph

steel musk

I want write report with ss .. this new system looks dumb

surreal star
# marsh charm Hi there, i know this was a dissappointing anniversary event, here is some feedb...

I'll upvote it, but I'm just going to toss out a "Why bother?"

They know what they did at the time they did it, and they don't care. It doesn't take a math genius to realize that a player that diligently followsd the event will get exactly nothing from it. I was looking forward to it when I saw all the statues, and how it was being tied into the other events...and they just...well, disappointment would be the best term for it.

Actually, probably disheartening. yeah, that's about the right word for it

marsh charm
#

I know it is very dissappointing, but they will never know unless we keep telling them. We can hope for a better next event.

From Game Suggestions and Anniversary Feedback respectively

steel musk

thanks))

vale yoke
#

No prob. I dislike this new AI thing immensely, but if they're gonna make us use it, I'm gonna learn how to use it to my advantage

#

Don't give me new things to break. Lemme keep the old already broken things.

steel musk
#

well I don't like write to bot

jovial vigil
#

It's not AI, it's a chat bot

steel musk
#

ya it just has saved answered which doesn't help

jovial vigil

Support AI's usually are for translating the user input to chatbot command, even openAI support chat works this way🤣

stable cosmos
#

People said jungle gems was good. Thats why they butchered it. If something is good in this game you just shut up about it. They might leave it alone then. Maybe
