One thing the devs could do to soften the blow is add the stats we accumulated during the resets. The volleyers would add squat but those that did the work would add a lot of wins and possibly help in unlocking the personal achievements like the scout one. I wish there was a way to give us back gold or something for the lost time but there isn't. Again my biggest issue is the devs said hey "do this" and "get that" and now it is gone.
Wulf, I don't envy you this. This just bites, and you have to keep trying to defend it. I reset twice. Was going for the third. Taking it pretty slow. I lost EB equipment dropped items to do this. My regret is that I didn't do this the 'cheating' way the devs are throwing out as justification for this change. Then I'd already have the final two reset items. I do have one more regret.... It's having spent money on pro-packs... I think this decision by the devs reeks.
Are achievement bonuses the developers' way of making up for the ally refund rate? Because its not working...
Total garbage!!! Way to make everyone who worked hard on resets properly suffer for the few cheaters!!!!! Find the cheaters and deal with them directly!! Why hurt the whole KaW community for bad actors! yet ANOTHER terrible decision
ok thanks for the clarification wulf. I agree. Spending months doing 15 resets the old fashioned way for 1000 ally slots and now its gone. That's very frustrating. But I guess the 450 nobs will equate to that. lol That's sarcasm btw devs.
As far as achievement bonus. There are people who use alts to achieve these.which is cheating. Atleast reset they have to start all over. You are making it easier to cheat and prosper lol. Taking away from those of us who have done this the way it was meant to be done.
I believe the devs are trying to hold this game together by patching it with a bandaid whenever they see a problem get beyond their control. Unfortunately, though they appear to have their marketing dept working hard on how to make money (understandably I guess) and their coders figuring out how to do changes, there appears to be one important cog missing - gameplay designers. the origional concept of the game was great. However, once you "completed" the game, (LCBC, leader board, top clan, whatever) there needed to be something else to strive for. Almost everything that has been released since the beginning has improved one thing while degrading a major part of what made the game good in the first place. In no particular order, Plunder Wars, EBs, Items, Highlands and even reset bonuses were attempts to keep the players they currently had from abandoning the game, but at the expense of any newer players joining the game. I have been here over 2 1/2 years and seen clans torn apart no less than on three different "major updates" of the code. Cameraderie is a major part of what makes this game great and the game changes are straining that with every major update they have done. Dont change code just to "try something" to fix a problem. Delve into it and look at it from everyone's perspective. I feel that ATA should look at a company like Wizards of the Coast. They have kept their game (Magic the Gathering) fun and constantly evolving while still being profitable for them by focusing on gameplay and not change for change sake or monitary sake. They have the unenviable task of bringing out changes every 3 months and have done so for years. How? By creating a team to "test" these possible changes and how they will impact the game. Not every change is for the best, but the devs need to know that only the longevity of the game will be profitable for them and concentrate on making the game fun again. I can push a button 40 times easily, but is that fun? You get out of a game what you put in and that is time - time spent with friends. Make our time worthwhile and fun (for all - old and new players) and you will take a major step towrds truly fixing the problem rather than watch as a badly patched fiasco falls by the wayside and joins the ranks of unused games on everyone's device.
I don't need your nobility keep it. It is unfair for players who have done resets years ago. It is your game so do **** you like.
I for one would like to see the reset items remain as an "unobtainable item" for those who put in effort. I have left feedback as such. An achievement is another good idea. Something to reward or identify the hard work of the resetters yet keep the "future resets have no benefit" concept in place. Ideas like this is a much better use of this thread and feedback. Ideas like this will me more well received by the Developers than "I am so mad!"
Reset bonuses are something that was promised long long ago and is finally bearing fruit. It is not "compensation"
What more could you do to destroy this game, ATA monkeys? You're just going down the list and shooting your games in the foot. If I would of known any better, I'd say you were being stroked by the players who spend thousands. You won't respond to many messages, you will just kick people from a thread. You made a good mod leave, why? Because you guys are just allowing all this garbage to happen. Stop the discount buyers? Report it to Pal, grab iP's, send to Apple, they take legal action and get their money back. Easy. Stop screwing over your players that actually give a damn about the game. I.E resets and such. What're you gonna do next? Give all players a number like a prisoner? I call dibs on #2 because I always wanted the Devs to **** in me the ass first.
So should I still reset quick before this is implemented? I was planning to do it soon anyways and I'm not sure if I should do it now or wait.
Wulf, i DONT care if today someone can LC reset 4 times in a week... he will probably never catch up with me that started playing 2 years ago... What i DO care is that players that started playing the same period that i did are now rewarded for their decision NOT to go through pain and hard reset work... and i am penalized cause i LOST months of growing and gold making to get a possible small advantage over those players in the long run... Can devs give me me those months and wasted gold back ???? NO !!!!!!
