Topic: Call of Gods / Maintenance Notice (June 17th)

so… why have rooms above level 70 open? maybe because you want gold without giving anything in return? adding 5 zero-drop rooms and not telling us is so, so terrible. every room level 80+ should have a “coming soon” banner across it and not be available to enter.

Topic: Call of Gods / Maintenance Notice (June 17th)

i suggest saving up white pet cards to feed to any blues. this will maximize the value of the pets we do get. whites have about 1/3rd to 1/4th the starting values of blue. after factoring in the negative boost value, i had a white start with +2 to my attack, whereas an attack-centric blue started at +8. if you have to save up 5-10 whites before you get a blue, that is instantly 2-4 culting levels on it.

at level 4 my blue has 97 * 0.35 = +33 attack. sad, but better than +2!!

Topic: Call of Gods / Maintenance Notice (June 17th)

it appears the “add more pets later” means there are currently NO unique pets in higher-level pet zones, but they put those zones in just to screw around with us. (zones without the associated pets seems like theft of gold, but maybe i’m wrong?)

edit :: the orange someone posted on the main forums is a bonebreaker, which is still a level 60 pet. this appears to be further evidence that you opened all the rooms 70+ BUT did not put any pets of those levels in the game. i’m starting to get a little angry. i don’t care about spending some gold to test this, but to be stolen from is quite a different beast. there is the EXPECTATION that if you make a level 120 room available, that you have at least a few pets of that level in the game. you should think very carfefully about how you want to handle this.

Topic: Call of Gods / Maintenance Notice (June 17th)

higher rooms still drop level 60 white & blue, no real reason to go deep.

seriously, everything you add has terribly inflated costs that make it impossible for a casual player to pay to enjoy. do this. make ONE feature more about fun than about money-grubbing. at 1/5th the cost, that is 2 gold or coupons for first key, 8 for 5th. also give 3 free keys to non-vip, 4 to vip.

Dungeons totally bugged now. Map error, crash- When i move on a monster. Nothing happens at all. Then i cant do anything. Have to refresh and the fight is over. Then i attack another mob and same bug over and over and over.

Removed the pets and then all fine.

hmm, i had no issues in my first dungeon with pets equipped.

Second key is 15g. It continues to increase til 40g. Of course there is already someone on the main site who has run the 110 zone 5 times… and gotten jack squat for his hundreds of gold.

Also, I assume this was the update that was supposed to come on Thursday, but then it wasn’t ready or there was a major bug they caught at the last second. Pushing this out today because it was ready instead of making us wait til Thursday just because that’s the normal maint day was a great idea.

i agree.

sometimes you just think they’re a dick.

Topic: Call of Gods / DEAD POINT

i agree about potential. some nice stuff in those sky dungeons once we can actually do them. if they bridge the huge gap between where we are and where we need to be for black dragon & sky city, we could see some enjoyment again for sure.

Topic: Call of Gods / DEAD POINT

we did a little math. level 20 wings will take 950 wind stones for +100 units per hero. re-introducing wind stones at map bosses from corrupted lord upward isn’t going to overpower anyone any time soon. we’d still be looking at thousands of boss runs to get a taste of sky city BUT we would be working to improve ourselves, not waiting for handouts. i could live with that.

Topic: Call of Gods / DEAD POINT

that is a pretty insulting smiley, cog. we are facing nothing to play due to your crazy difficulty curve, and you think it is something to smile about? really?

you have the tools in place for us to at least see a future point where we can beat this stuff. you even let us start collecting those tools for 2 glorious days at corrupted lord. (1) wind stones. (2) enhancement stones. put them back, frequent wind stones and semi-frequent enhancement. it will take thousands of wind stones to make an impact so they can drop more. but now you are planning some crazy scheme with pets instead of putting back the pieces we need to match the difficulty curve you have imposed on us.

Topic: Call of Gods / [Suggestion] Have a suggestion? This is the place.

to be clear: i don’t want handouts. i want semi-rare enhancement and wind stones at a grindable map boss, so we can make the push to handling at least a bit of the sky city stuff. i’m willing to work (grind) to get stronger. honest.

Topic: Call of Gods / [Suggestion] Have a suggestion? This is the place.

well, i see the ceiling getting much, much closer. my xp for both corrupted lord and frosty werewolf have dropped now that i am level 124. i cannot run flaming devil or d12h without t4, but i have to hope each day to get the t4 i need, and at 10:1 conversion it can take up to a week to replace troops lost in 1 day. i expect my xp from 110 dungeon to drop off now.

this effectively means i have less and less stuff to do. another couple levels and i won’t be getting much xp from anything i can do, and i won’t be able to do harder stuff more than once a week before collecting res for 6 days to try to replace my t4.

thank you, cog, for giving me this glimpse of the end of the game. once i have no reasonable ways to level up i can spend 30 minutes on stuff each day then go do something else.

Topic: Call of Gods / June 13th Maintenance?

::sadface:: no pets. nothing to do because i can’t get any dk the last 3 days. you sure know how to suck the fun out of stuff, cog. bravo.

ANNOUNCE THE PETS!! ANNOUNCE THE PETS!!

Topic: Call of Gods / black dragon peak tip

the lesson to be learned from my lane A adventure is that lane A is way easier than B or C. those lanes run in to hippogrifs & get slaughtered if there are 4 or 5 of the beasts in the mob. i have since tried B… and finished 4-5 mobs before dying.

that was our first bloody run back in march. it has gotten a little easier since then. still bloody, though.

Hi, could you please check your quest list now?

this is pretty much an admission that they should have the quest, but you’re too lazy to fix it in a timely manner. please have it correctly repaired in the next maintenance. that gives you 2.5 days to get it right.

Topic: Call of Gods / [Suggestion] Have a suggestion? This is the place.

t4 are expensive, and half the servers cannot be on at the right times to get any at 10:1 — and 10:1 is still way too expensive when we have to run full t4 teams to do anything.

change it from a specific hour to 2 1-hour timers that are user activated. for each timer, double the t4 production.

timer1: activated, 1 hour of 10:1. timer2: activated later, another hour of 10:1.

if timer1 and timer2 are activated: the overlapping times give 5:1 conversion.

To be continued. :) Refer to the updated announcement.

give us a different teaser each day. maybe some pet graphics one day, then a LITTLE bit about what pets will enhance for us the next. that’d be a fun build-up to thursday’s maintenance.

Topic: Call of Gods / [Bug] Need help? Find a bug? This is the place.

we have been telling you for over a year that dungeons get laggier and laggier as we do them, until we are forced to refresh our browsers to clean up momeory space.

in the course of doing several dungeon layers, both flashplayer.exe and firefox.exe jumped in size by over 100,000k. this memory space was never returned to my system when i exited one dungeon to start another. eventually my system froze when i tried to fight a main boss. stop doing this, okay?

Hi, after our checking, there is no problem.

and yet after i and several other players check, we see there is in fact a problem. we can confirm that chatting does not work in full screen.

Topic: Call of Gods / Maintenance Notice (June 6th)

this is getting both silly and disgusting, cog. seriously, we get it. you made some good money from this game. this does NOT mean you just stand there with your hand out every goddamn time.

add seed drops to map bosses, and you have something everyone can enjoy. spenders can go for instant gratification with bought seeds, non-spenders can grind a map boss for seeds. you could flip all the negative comments with one change. just one change.

you could still do this. honest. by getting some seeds, it’d encourage some spending at the end of the week to finish items.

last chance for you to make things right for the players. maintenance today. do it. just do it.

edit :: could make it double-xp week at regular map bosses plus the seed drops, it’d be splendid!
