Where is this game going?

Bargini

So I recently reached lvl89 on s2. Had a look at what is awaiting for me ahead and saw a new hero at lvl97 Then I've made a bit of calculations in my head. Assuming that to reach every new lvl we need same exp as previous lvl plus 2mil, I came to a conclusion that I will need 250mil exp to reach lvl97 from lvl89. If I make 2mil exp per day that will take 4 months to reach lvl97! So, question to developers: Do you really think I'm going to spend 4 months of my life on that? The answer is obvious it's a no.

My suggestion to you would be the following: If you want players to keep going in the game you need to give them something worth trying for. I mean that it is very boring to grind through to level 97 just to get a new hero. As far as I know we play games because they are not boring, but because they are entertaining. So what you should do here is find othe ways for players to level up or make it easier at least, set new aims for players, so that by archiving them step by step they approach some thing big like new hero. Otherwise all players will leave this game eventually and there will be no one to buy diamonds.

Talking about diamonds. You have a wrong strategy here. What you are trying to do here is have a few players who spend a lot, however, it's more efficient to have loads of players to spend a bit on the game. Have a look at such game as Tower of Saviors. They have millions of players who spend just a bit and pretty often and they reached tremendous success.

So, in the end I hope it helps you make the game better and more interesting. Feel free to discuss below.

You guys do realize two things right?First...they want you to buy your levels.Second,I find it very odd that they basically cloned ravensmarch,made the graphics slightly more cartoonish,and call it a "new" game.After 2 days of playing,I realized what a bad job you guys did trying to copy it too.

Little side wager...this game will not be here in another 6 months.In the 2 days I have played,all I hear on chat is how this person or that person has quit or going to quit.(FYI...charging diamonds to speak in world chat..class act...way to keep people throwing money at your game)

Anyhow,I am glad I took the time to come read the forums and see just how sad a state this game is so I do not waste another hour on it.

Heartbreak,

You haven't answered the questions or statements about having to have 250 mil exp to get to lvl 97. Why do u think that all of us quit the game?

You come in here talking in ways that make us think ur gonna do something to help the game, but u never do anything. So please refrain from telling us BS and try to fix our concerns.

Remember in COTK when u took away our Exp and made it harder for us to lvl up? What did we do? We all quit playing that game.

Have you figured out why we quit this game? No one want to spend 23 hours a day for a month trying to get to the next lvl. Your company has lost touch with reality. If you want players to enjoy ur game. Please fix all of this and they will enjoy ur game. They problem is you never listen to us. Thus we quit. I am only trying to help other players.

Oh and BTW, the only reason u want to merge servers is because you have failed to gain enough support to keep each server open. So now you want to merge them to make everyone think that it's a full server.

Gold can let you get better aide, different aide have different ability. Different collocations have the different additional effect.
Troops is not the important, but food and iron is important. We will do some jobs for them

just hit level 90 today and not looking forward to the grind to hit 92 in order to get rock.  one thing you could do to ease the level grind is to remove the duel and siege caps on rankings. open it up and reward exp for hitting certain attainable goals. also, you make gold pretty much useless in the game. the only resources worth investing are food, troops and iron.

Barr is right. I got level 92 a few days ago to get Rock. Now what. I'm still 19 million from 93 and for what?  The last tech was to allow level 15 gems. That's useless. Tower is still impossible and there really is no goal now.

Hi again!

Thanks for your nice gift of 200k exp!

I have discussed a possible merge of servers with my team mates and they don't seem happy about that. The main reason for expressed concerns is that server 1 has a huge time advantage and that would be unfair to players from server 2. You could solve this problem by giving extra exp to s2 players so that they could reach s1 but that would make it unfair for s1, as they spent more time. So, please pay attention to this problem.

Another question to you would be whether we are getting an update in the near future, as it seems like it happens on the monthly bases (21st July, 23rd August). If the answer is yes a good marketing strategy would be to promote any upcoming updates in the game 7-10 days prior to it as that will at least keep players attention on the game, because they will be curious to see what is awaiting for them.

I'm really trying to help you, the developers, so that to make it better for players and profitable for you. If you have any questions or want to discuss any ideas fell free to contact me.

Firstly, your question is our mission, make our game better and interesting. We are trying to add so ...

Thank you for your quick reply!

My username is Barr (from the green country on server 2).

And yes, I know that there is Rock on my way, but still gap between Rock and Kathryn is like 200mil exp, and with 2mil exp per daytime takes 100 days to reach, so having some semi goals with extra exp would be great!

Thanks again for your reply!
Hope to see some innovations in the near future!

Best wishes,
Barr.
