Brave the Elements Returns!

Pretty simple logic, isn't it, Rio?

Unfortunately the devs only see the money they make in the short term. They only consider the money they are making right here now. All the potential profits they could be making is lost to them. They want to do as little as possible and get the most that they can.

I don't doubt devs are making profits (otherwise KaW wouldn't still be here). However I also don't doubt how much more they could be making if they paid attention. PvP increases have been asked for a long time now and still, nothing. Such a small change to be made to earn you an extra profit. But you keep your heads in the clouds devs. I hope you have a nice view.
 
What happened to the 8 part event we had going on? I understand the inferno and aqua are a trash event to hold when you have nothing else but we didnt even make it through that event. Did you just cancel the event or will it start up again after this event?

It's because of how much the new equip costs to enchant.


Not everyone does b2b hte, and even then not everyone gets drops

The cost of upgrading Eq is so freaking high. We need the inferno or Aqua to do it!

You work with them? Or did they tell you this?
Why do people assume things that they know so little about. :roll:
 
You missed the second part of my comment.

I don't have access to the devs profit numbers and I never claimed too. But it's fairly obvious that devs could increase their profits by making slight changes.

As Rio said: increasing reward from PvP blitzes will encourage more participation which leads to more xtals being used and more spells being bought.

It's a small and simple change they can make to improve profits. Fairly logical. Players have been saying this for a long time.

Improving the game in general will lead to more people spending. Getting and retaining new players will lead to more spending. Right now I see the devs doing next to nothing when it comes to game improvements. It's all the same: copy and pasted events. There was a period where they seemed to be listening where they added clan roles, LL wars, a new forum layout and introduced some different types of events. But once again we're straight back to copy and paste. They're hoping the old spenders will stick around and keep spending. I'd say the lack of change and content updates makes that pretty obvious. Devs have said constantly in the past that they care about KaW. I don't see that at all. It's time to move on from words and onto some action.

So like I said, I don't doubt devs are making a profit. Otherwise the game wouldn't be here. But I also don't doubt they could be making more if they paid attention to the game. If devs were interested in long term profits, we'd be seeing more content updates. We'd be seeing more improvements. Not the same recycled stuff.

But that's just my 2 cents worth :grin:
 
**UPDATE**
While Prima Token drops will be ending at noon PST on May 17th, you will have an additional hour (until 1pm PST) to transform any Prima Tokens you have on your account, as well as open Alchemia Boxes. After 1pm PST, Alchemia Keys, Gold Alchemia Keys, and Azure and Crimson Drops will no longer be purchasable and any leftover Prima Tokens will not be able to be transformed into Aqua/Inferno Tokens to count towards your reward progress.

At 1pm PST we will look at the rankings and begin calculating rewards.
 
Mine have been azure and crimson from the start. Are you sure yours weren't? It's what they were supposed to be anyway. It's what you use to convert your prima tokens.

Prima Tokens are then used to purchase either Azure Drops or Crimson Drops, which give you either Aqua or Inferno Tokens respectively.



These Tokens are then used in their respective event paths. Either the Gift oF Aqua (offering Aqua rewards), or Bounty of Inferno (offering Inferno rewards).




EB Drops


Prima Shards will drop from all Epic Battles for the duration of the event.

War Drops

Team Performance
Winning Team: 300 Tokens
Losing Team: 0 Tokens

Weekend PvP Blitz



During the weekend of May 13 - 16 we'll be hosting a PvP Blitz event in addition to the main event. During this Blitz event you'll collect and steal Alchemic Formula from players in order to earn Prima Tokens to help you with your progress in the main event. Every time you collect 500 Alchemic Formula they'll be converted into a Alchemic Journal which cannot be stolen.

Rewards for these PvP Blitz Weekend events are based on the number of Alchemic Journals you own.

PvP Blitz Opt-In



To Opt-In to the event, players will need to cast the Yliastrum spell at the Alchemist. NOTE: Yliastrum will only be available to cast once the weekend event has started.

Warning: Opting-in lasts for the ENTIRE DURATION of that specific BLITZ EVENT and there will be no way to opt-out after doing so.

Opted in players will:
  • Have their name colored orange to indicate their participation
  • Have a spell indicating their participation on their profile
  • Have their Battle List updated to show only players who have opted-in

Alchemic Formula + Journal



Once opted-in, players will earn Alchemic Formula by attacking other opted-in players. These items are both generated AND ARE STOLEN. The number generated depends on the players size. The number stolen depends on the amount of Alchemic Formula they currently have. The higher the number they have the more you'll steal.

Once a player collects 500 Alchemic Formula they'll automatically turn into an Alchemic Journal which cannot be stolen. These Alchemic Journals are what will determine your rewards from the PvP Blitz Weekend events.

Solomon's Alembic



When you hit another opted-in player there's a chance that the Solomon's Alembic spell is activated. This spell lasts for 24 hours, and has the following properties:
  • Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
  • Allows you to obtain more Alchemic Formula when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
  • Provides you with a chance of creating Mithril out of thin air when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
  • Will be visible on your profile as an active spell
  • CAN BE STOLEN when you are attacked or stolen from by opted-in players. If stolen you will lose the spell, and the attacking player will receive it. Duration is not reset when stolen but continues to count down from where it was for the previous owner.

Note: You cannot steal another player's Solomon's Alembic spell when you have an active Solomon's Alembic spell yourself.

Magnum Opus



The Magnum Opus item may be purchased in the Marketplace for 59 Nobility Points and casts the Rubedo Cerium spell on ALL of your current clan members. If you already have Rubedo Cerulium spell active you will not be able to purchase it until the current spell expires.

This spell lasts for 1 hour and has the following properties:
  • Provides you with more plunder when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
    (This is able to stack with the Solomon's Alembic spell)
  • Allows you to earn more Alchemic Formula when attacking or stealing from opted-in players
    (This is able to stack with the Solomon's Alembic spell)
  • Prevents other players from being able to steal your Solomon's Alembic spell while Magnum Opus is active
  • Will be visible on your profile as an active spell

Alchemia Box



As you complete Epic Battles you'll occasionally find Alchemia Box. These rare chests can contain a number of goods including Health Crystals, Prima Tokens, Seals of the Damned, and more!

You can open these chests in one of two ways.

1) Purchasing an Alchemia Key from the Marketplace using Gold. You can purchase ONE of these per day.
2) Purchasing a Gold Alchemia Key from the Marketplace using Nobility. There is no limit on the number you may purchase.

Also, Devs:
it's super spammy to have a World Chat announcement every time a clan activates a battle cry. Last night one clan activated fourteen in a row. Completely drowned out all activity in world chat.

Aqua leaderboard tiers earn more than the inferno leaderboard tiers?

No. The two leader boards earn the same rewards..
You do realize this was at the start of the event when the leaderboard rewards were incorrect right? This was already fixed :P
