Well.. Having the Dev to take away HTE or RoTW will be too much.. The horns and seals was introduced to make more revenues for them. Here is what I believe would make it a win-win situation. 1) Instead of dropping nobs from Quest, how about have it obtainable from EBs as well? - What would be a good range? I would say 2-5 nobs (at least drop every few EBs) 2) Decrease price for seals and horns, obviously I won't have the Dev go on the losing side; - So price and payout will drop proportionally - This will allow active "pay to play" to still do their usual, and - For those who "play to play" to be able to afford with the nobs dropped from EBs, top it up - Dev still gets revenues, player get to pay for HTE and work for HTE This plan could have loops holes I did not venture into or missed.. Feel free to work further on it
About HTE clans issue... Limiting the amount of hte that can be started in 24h wouldn't be a fix neither. People will just jump from one clan to another. But I do have an idea: Now we have blood rain epic battles. These epic battles are a sort of challenge and as reward clan members are getting a plunder bonus. How about a series of BR epic battles as challenge? I don't know... Finish one of each regular haunting, Smoke Signals and The Summoner in 12 hours and you get 50% plunder bonus for next 24 hours... Or if you chose hte instead regular haunting a 75% bonus. So by working harder one can get same amount of gold as from HTE.
I find two problems with this. 1. Not everyone, especially your average player (The majority of KaW), can even get into clans that can complete SS, TS, etc because theres a stat requirement that they cant reach 2. I dont wtf type of data you used saying AFF is better $/h than HTE but I can easily make 20b/h off HTE without using money or EE. I make 9.7/h on the one AFF ive done being MORE active than I was in my average HTE
These solid walls of text ranting dont help anyone. Here is a chance to offer your ideas regarding hte but as per usual its all decended into petty ranting. Hte is the lifeblood of this game in terms of providing the revenue that makes continued private sector investment sustainable. Shut it off and you will quickly flatline the game. All the people who come out of the woodwork to moan about hte tend to do so when there is a promo on. The fix then to keep people happier would be to close the gap between hte powered promo drops and those from normal ebs. I like the concept of different ebs dropping junk you have to combine as it ensures rotation, but it is a flawed concept as the time required is just too long. It needs to go. Hte does however have to remain 'worth' paying for otherwise no one will. All the people who claim to have amazing business brains should understand this and the concept of devaluation. Simply increase standard eb drops and increase by many for the chunky snowman and bone dragon ebs. Promo should still force a decision and a variance in normal playstyle however. Simply buff a couple of ebs and ROTATE THEM!! Consideration needs to be given to the huge clans who can tear through ss, ts etc as no way should any free eb drop more than premiums over a set period. However, there could be a tiny tiny percent chance that you get a big bonus drop from a non premium eb. Such a drop should be a big deal and allow a handful of lucky players a chance for the top end stuff without paying, thereby promoting interest across the community. As kaw com said tho, top end is rare and so it should be. Its not top end if everyone has it, nor should little players be walking around with the highest end equip. Should have to grow a little first at least
Pretty sure it was TROLL who had a graph of ATA revenue since the beginning in 2009 and what it is now. You guys are fools for thinking hte is the only source of income and without it ATA is screwed. Nope. People bought xstalls and nobs. I went nob crazy at one point, spent at least 2g's in a month on a new acc. I haven't spent no where near that since hte. The graph don't lie.
In an 4h AFF i make 33-34bil plunder. In HTE from one unload I make 7.3bil. And 20bil/h without using items? I'm naive but not that naive to buy that
I'm not the one with the graph salty you muppet. Gerrout of ere. You wouldn't know about numbers cuz you only get $5 allowance
@Eclipso actually i just checked the history of last HTE runned at your clan. You had 69 actions and 12bil plunder. You was right...that's almost 20bil. 8bil difference is nothing.
You shuddd!!!! Upppp!! Valentina. You no talk to salty like that. Valentina you girly attention seeking noobcake yo! Go play in FarmVille NOOB Nutz lover
Why not bring back the 2x gold ebs that way not just hte clans collect the most gold while the devs keep hte in the game
MuStard you sound real salty coz I pin your ass n you cant do nothin back. That's the way it'll always be, deal with it and stop being so butthurt and feel the need to splurge your crap everytime you see me.
