Not even going to lie if they cut HF prices in half anytime soon I'll be gone. That just entices people to stay small and wait for every price cut. To me the main thing is these promos the first few were entertaining, but we can't go a week without having a new one that lasts too long. Thankfully they have incorporated some pvp into the latest ones, but HTE ultimately rules the game. These new parts of the game just need to stop, and work on the core portions of the game. I know it's been said over and over, but today is my day to rant.
What I truly want to know is if HTE has actually created more revenue for ATA. People act like ATA will never remove HTE because they make money off it, but it's not like they weren't making money before were they? As far as I know, KaW used to consistently be a top grossing app on the App Store. It only makes it into the top 150 with events these days. Clearly something was working without HTE. Revenues could have been higher because I feel that more people used to play the game (although I have no source on that). And also there's also no way to prove that HTE has a correlation to a dwindling player base. But regardless I too wish HTE wasn't around..
i agree the events are getting ridiculous...there are people who almost have a full set of equip just from promos alone lol
Who cares about LB players being build complete tomorrow, all that means is people who can hit me lol
Exactly like someone just pointed out they would have made more money overall with a bigger player base, than keeping HTE. I know people will say I'm a hypocrite since I'm in a BTB Hte clan, but I'm only doing what I have to stay competitive in wars now. That eb has led to so many imbalances within the game, and the quick money these devs saw they took and ran with it without thinking of the future of the game as a whole. This game still has so much potential, but I doubt it ever reaches it.
Take HTE away people will xstall on the big Dragon ebs, nob gold, whatever method. They still get the same revenue but balance would be back in the game. And then we wouldnt need HTE clans, or huge clans of all hfbc players when they should be spread across KaW. Devs are greedy and scared. They don't want HTE gone in fear people stop spending when in reality they won't. Maybe even ill start spending again when that day comes
Hte has broken this game, people who've started 6 months ago have the ability to be double the size of people who've been playing 3 to 4 years. Its garbage
The smaller guys who spent a little every month is what brought revenue in big. Now those guys don't spend at all. What's more appealing. ONE seal for $6, a single item... For $6... Or a stack of some xstalls? I know which one I find more appealing. The xstalls.
It's not like people are magically going NOT want to make money. If people are gonna xtal they will xtal on whatever pays the best. So why does it gotta be HTE? But also we could all be wrong and maybe HTE does make them more money. The lower player base could be unrelated to HTE released. There are many other issues in the damn game. But in reality, KaW is just like every other mobile game. Apps are all about being free to play but pay to win, often with aggressive tactics to get you to spend money. And in reality, KaW isn't even the worst offender. For example, I downloaded Game of War because of the constant commercials and I thought "hey maybe this is like KaW". I didn't last 20 minutes in that game. Literally right when the game loads, there are screens with promos/sales on paid items. At least KaW doesn't do that. Other games restrict how much you can play before you have to pay. At least KaW doesn't do that. I often have mixed feelings about ATA and how they make their money. I sometimes think it isn't so bad, but other times I hate them. But one thing for sure is I wish they would listen to the great ideas of our community and make some decent, useful changes. I don't know why they don't because in my opinion, our ideas will make for a better game and in the end, more money for them.
They just need to make an hte equivalent like ebs. Give bonuses to all ebs not just payed ebs. They need to take out how much of an advantage hte has towards other ebs, event wise
Exactly the point of this thread obviously this is a long shot for the devs to even read this, but this community is full of basically geniuses at things like these apps. Although you did say people will XTALL on other ebs, that's what we are trying to say you don't have to pay 6$ to xtall on another eb, so more people would be willing to spend a few extra dollars to get a few XTALLS instead of having to pay for both a seal and the xtalls.
A mod needs to step their ass up to the plate and forward some ideas or requests the community has. Pretty sure it was the mod Robinhood who worked with ATA on the elimination of plunder wars and created epic battles. Which worked. Clans had loyalty because there was no need to join a HTE clan or a huge cash cow clan. All grew together. Until.... You know what. Remember when HTE and Rotwb Had an end date? I remember. I also remember when they extended.. And extended.. And made perm.
