I don’t know what those idiots made to make you quit the CA forums but I really was a fan of your work. The way you inquired the mechanics of the game, your chinese server investigations, br’s and all the data and the way you helped people. Safe to say, I admired your approach on the game.
But the main reason I am posting now, is that I feel like whining very much. Over the last few months I have grown a huge distaste for almost every action of ClapAlong. I don’t know if this is normal or am I overreacting.
The game is ok still, I guess… I don’t like it as much as I used to of course but I am still playing. But I sort of hate the company. After the last offer wall development, I went to forums and said things like “get your fucking offer wall off my face” then my post has been deleted, which led to me getting enraged more of course. I just don’t get it. CA is allowed to push a huge gold screen on my face and I am not allowed to whine about it? I cant say fucking offer wall? Some idiot named Xeno smth deletes my posts, and I see a post of his saying smth like “even mods can make mistakes from time to time”. What kind of a sick sentence this is? This is a guy who is employed by CA for 100$ per month cause he is not good for nothing else, the community is smart, the community pays the salaries of these mods, and this idiot says “even mods” He thinks he has better judgement cuz he can delete a post?? All the more reason for me to get pissed.
I opened a ticket about it but I regretted it the moment I opened the ticket. I just hate those responses that they give to tickets. All the politeness, but also all the blankness. None of the responses that are given to tickets had any value for me. That is just a service to cool the customers who get pissed at the idiotic policies of CA. And once you realize what it is, it becomes useless.
And they said, I was spamming posts so they got deleted. I sighed. Wake up idiots. I posted the same thing cuz some oh-so-powerful-mod-who-can-delete-posts of yours decided to show his muscle to me.
Tbh, I don’t even see that fucking wall. I resized the browser to hide it. But I still am frustrated becouse they think they have the right to push their fucking gold ad on my screen. And they think they have the authority to delete my fucking posts.
Evidently, I stopped buying gold. I should also be quitting the game I guess. But I have done majority of the preparation after I beat Elf so I may as well try to hit 150 before I quit.
And it is not just this wall, this was only the last incident. I get pissed about many things. Probably something is wrong with me cuz it doesn’t feel right to get pissed about a game. It is a game after wall, I am supposed to have fun playing or I am supposed to stop playing it.
But if I must name some of the sources of my frustrations, I could begin with these ill-implemented armaments. We enchant our gears hundreds of times right? We spend zillions of laurels for techs also, and it is ok. We get resources, we spend them, it is all right. But armaments has been trouble for everyone, becouse it is ill-implemented. And there are other things like mech shaped oeno. Right? Why mech shape? I cant think of a reason. Or this Han guy I read about, who fires BM without morale. I mean what sort of an idiotic idea is that, to come up with a BM who fires with 0 morale. Why do you betray the rules of your own construct, especially when there are thousands of features you can think of when designing a hero, right? Not that I will be long enough around to recruit this guy but I still get pissed somehow.
Or this luck dependant game design. We level up cyclone mages, we level up thunderstorm mages, and we say things like if I stun three times and the opponent mage fails and then anubis dodges twice, and sult crits then I win.. so If I calculate the odds.. hmm ok, 300 divs on average... What sort of a sick game design is that?
I am thinking, the initial team, who designed the game, quit the job or were transferred to another project or smth and now the current devs, or whoever is making these decisions, are clueless about how to create challenges in a non-frustrating way.
What is that warehouse? Is this for real? I would really like to know, if anyone playing this game, thinks that warehouse has been a good addition to this game and that he/she is enjoying trading goods in warehouse? An idiotic, one-dimensional design only aiming to make you sit more in front of the game, and offering nothing in return. No fun, no challenge, no coordination, no mechanics to find out, no nothing.
Compare warehouse to alchemy. Alchemy is sort of complex. There are this traders with various bonuses, there is this area price, there is these alchemists with different stats that you decide to transform from time to time, and you choose stones, and you choose partners, it has depth. You do some considerations and decision making and you may enjoy that. Not like warehouse where you are supposed to push the buy iron button every 5 minutes.
These things make me think that the initial team who desinged the game is no more in charge… The game is not getting better. It is getting worse. And easy to tell I guess, by the shrinking player base. May be they want to rob a few more dollars from the remaining guys before the servers gets completely deserted, or before it is no more financially viable to support and develop the game. May be that is why they came up with the most brilliant idea! Offer wall.
Sigh… Anyways.. Out for now.
