They screwed the community. Period.
Agreed. If they wanted to use this event as a "test" for something, they could've made an announcement to give us a heads up.
You have to simply accept that and make the choice do I want to do this. You simply have to ACCEPT the fact that this game is GEAR TO GET YOU TO SPEND $$$ they walk a balance of rewarding marketing and pay to play they still have to make the game fun enough to lure free players hoping every once in a while you spend... The other day I bought some legendary tomes for cheap I have bought before or since... but if they give me a crazy price sure....
ash the plarium lawyer, who got freya already cause he is kraken in the game, cc perk gifts every week. talks to other ppl to skip freya. you will never skip her if u didnt have her already. so save the copium for next video my son.
Next time they want to test something, how about they buff the points rather than nerf them?! See how many people actually do it compared to this POS event and how many people actually say good things about them and the direction the game is going!
@@robschaller9061 I mean, i'm over halfway to her. Waiting on cvc to finish her up.
"Revamp the market" translation: Ancient Shards will be removed.
Immediately thought the same thing. ohno 😂
@@HenjineerSeven probably right, it's where I get the most of mine
And mystery shards. Cant let someone save those for a year and do one event for "free" now can we.
@@aelinstue9431 lol I use them to qui k to save that long
it could be replaced with 3 star chicken 🤣 Their reason "Because bots were getting them"
Plarium, take this feedback.
1. I like the champion.
2. I have the resources to do the event.
3. The point value for the resources required is TOXIC and I'm purposely not doing it in protest.
4. I really hate that you all "experiment" on the player base instead of partnering with us.
Take the amount of players that stop playing the game in addition to the ones that simply "don't do the event" when you measure the success.
same, i can do it as well ,but i wont. i dont even think she is worth it honestly. she is alright but nothing amazing. def not worth the grind
100% this! For so much work, I'd expect the champion to be game-changing, like Gnut was. Unreal. I would like your comment, but I don't wanna mess with the likes number haha
@@M.to.the.L same here
Ditto. SKIP!
If they drop 2x on Soulstone tomorrow then I might do it, otherwise all the hype and anticipation and this is how they treat us. Probably still won't do it. She's not worth this headache.
"Not every player has to participate in these events."
The same exact cop-out answer that they've given for the past 4 years straight.
Studio: "This show isn't for you, just don't watch it."
Studio: ::Wonders why their show had to be cancelled because no one watched it.::
I have been playing for a year and a half and haven't done a single fusion and only participate in events to where I feels it's worth it. Haven't won a tournament or even top 5 in forever, very rarely top 10. I have pulled a decent number of the fusions from shards and my account is very far progressed for spending minimal money. The events aren't that important
@@fixingitrightish Right, but you admitted that you have spent money. Not every player does that, I myself couldn't care less because I do the same. I've pulled past fusions as well, no big deal. However I'm not thinking of just myself, I'm thinking of this from an overall perspective.
I mean, it's absolutely true players don't have to engage with events.
If I'm involved in a game where I don't want to engage with (or can't engage with) the majority of events though, I really have to ask myself why I'm involved with that game in the first place, and not another.
All the top comments on this video at the moment, are reflecting everything 99% of players are feeling.
Plarium does the same thing big companies always do… take a good product and slowly shrink the size or volume you get from it and raise the price.
Isnt that called Shrinkflation?
That's inflation, kinda = US has no money for hurricane victims but has billions for foreign countries. 😂
@@dexterj5896That is blatant disinformation.
Like Mc Donald's does for all their burgers. The worst even Pizzeria does the same 😢 sorry I lose track Plarium bring a new shard ( the primal) for me those shards should be epic,legendary and mythical summon .Period imagine how hard it is to have those shard and after you have a bunch of blues😤
Honestly two things could happening they trying to milk market for end of year earning to show profit or Plarium as made clear they could sell the Raid IP as its not on brand with the company and trying to make look more profitable to buyers
"Every player doesnt have to do every event". thats true plarium, but you seem intent on pushing players to not complete ANY event.
@@spencertwoeightyz3383 True but I feel bad for those who do play it
This is the thing i feel is really striking about RAID - i played (sadly) a lot of gacha games and in each of them events were an opportunity for whales to get new content immediately and for free to play to actually boost their accounts. But in Raid, i feel like the correct course, and soon the only course, is to ignore them altogether. The regular ones still force you to hoard resources and give minuscule returns. The big ones are horrible. I just finished the Thor fusion, my first one (and quite probably last one) and it was more of anything, exhausting. Hours upon hours per day, and i still barely manage to do dungeon divers. Then the hammer point event was even worse, horrible slogs and drains. And now this, the deck of fate is whe worst draining event in all game and this is 40% more draining than usual.
A new event they are "testing out", Thats plarium code for "We are seeing how much we can gouge our players and see just how much they are willing to take while testing on how much their mega whales will spend"
If a whale didn't already pick up Freya, they will 99.9% spend resources and cash to get her. Count on it, Plarium does. It's how many lower spenders can they take for the ride, and how many non-spenders they can get to jump.
I was already dreading the idea of the 40K point grind when I thought I had about 20k in soulstones, now I have significantly less and the champ training points combine to make double the grinding. I'm taking a bit to consider, may just skip her entirely. No point in dropping tons of resources and emptying my soulstone vault to come up short or kill myself. I'm still burnt out over Thor + 5 star soul.
Exactly. Its just a bogus explanation to cover up their real agenda. Its not a coincidence that nerfing the points ("testing") = more profit.
It's funny because you guys think they are doing this game to make everyone happy when, like any other business, paying everyone salary is the number 1 priority. Everyone being happy is a far away secondary goal.
@@TreKaufPL of course. But they work in the entertainment industry without any regard for customer satisfaction. I work at a large retail corporation, and if we had the same level of customer dissatisfaction as raid does, we'd have a complete company restructuring. I dont think you'd go to a restaurant where the staff treat their customers like shit and gouge their prices at every opportunity they get.
@@sgttoxiiczzI’m sure your little retail store has better analysts than Plarium but raid is a give and take game. If you dont pay you will sometimes miss out, it’s the whole business plan to lure you in to pay to go get and manage that little extra
They simply did same thing as they did during Thors soul, made everyone spend more resources than expected (based on previous events) in hope people would be happy to open wallets... I'm pretty much sure that actually wallets are closing cause of this.
Haha I cha-ching cha-ching cha-ching this is so true but I had to have her so I'm a sucker so I got her opening my wallet 🥹😂😜
she's not a mythical
has no right costing this much in resources
it's ridiculous
@@micheleraulerson9311 How much did you pay to get her? Just curious what the rate seems to be. What else did you get as well (I assume it was mostly buying soulstones, how many good ones did you get)?
After the recent BS from Plarium, I decided i won't spend any more money on this game. I'm not alone in my clan doing this
Yes, I spent a few hundred every month and this was the straw that broke the camel’s back and has made me go completely FTP. I’m done with their predatory practices. I already skipped Thor who I would normally go for.
Unfortunatelly Plarium does not like us and we knew we could get her, change it to soul stones and nerf it by 40%. Nice Plarium move, whales are 100% okay with this since Ash and other whales play a different game
Skill issue. Im a 9 months f2p player and already completed 90% of the deck. Obviously this game isnt for impatient gamblers, try saving your resources mext time?
Capping?@@yash85467
@@yash85467 How does that boot taste?
she's not a mythical

Plarium never liked anyone of us, they just like our wallets😅
The only thing they are "testing" in the DoF is if they can make more money by making it harder to complete.
Resuming:
It's confirmed that Plarium is heavily invested in continuously making the playing experience exponentially worse even when it's extremely hard to imagine how it can get worse from here. 😢
@@RED.H4WK pretty much. Give an inch, take a mile. Ooo look. New quality of life features. Meanwhile, champion nerfs, event nerfs and price gouging. Lol
I'm sure nothing makes people quit quite as much as being insulted, and this Deck of fate is a huge insult.
I was all excited to max this Deck of fate, and now I'm not even going to touch it. I won't flip a single card, even if I accidentally get enough points. This is nothing to do with resources. I have more than enough to do it multiple times without jeopardising my account, it's the principle.
It was necessary so that it would not be completely trivial to do.
In any case, if you have been saving resources for events like these (which you should be doing) you will have no problems.
But doesnt that also become the problem at some point - you have enough resources to do this event multiple times, and so to encourage you to use those resources (and thus have a chance at spending something) events need to become more expensive?
Its the problem I see every day in Raid back in 2018 we didnt care about anything but when was the next 2x event and we pulled our shards, then we had fusions to save for and now it seems like people spend the entire time saving resources for the "next big thing" that they dont actually play the game anymore and wonder why they become disengaged and eventually quit (with a huge pile of resources).
In the end people need to play how they enjoy, but if you arent enjoying the game then take a break and come back you obviously have the resources to do so when you return you can play the next event.
Transferred Clan lead to someone else and quit today.
Been frustrated by Plarium's stuff for too long now. Everything keeps giving less and requiring more (resources, but especially time). What really drove it home this time, trying to figure out how long the deck would take me do do through champ training, was the realization I would have to do 4+ hours of last minute hydra keys for the week today too. The time they're asking has always been a lot... and that's cool. I enjoy a good grind. But in the last... 12-18 months, I feel it's gotten outrageous for a mobile gacha. ... they're asking me to give their game part-time job hours, and then maybe pay them for that privilege.
Done complaining fruitlessly though. Decided to do something about it. Hope the account delete reflects in Plarium's metrics and helps lead them to some positive changes in the future for everyone who is sticking around.
Addendum: Analytics that track engagement are problematic. "Player engagement" doesn't have to equal an engaged player.
Keeping someone online for 2 hours a day spamming repetitive tasks isn't necessarily an engaging game play loop... it's just a game play loop they're willing to tolerate (until they're not). When you use #MinutesPlayed as a key metric, it's really easy to start chasing that instead of engaging design. And when you start chasing anything other than engaging game play, it's really easy for that metric you are obsessing on to start plummeting in the future.
... Plarium making this event take people 40% more time and resources to complete than the last one doesn't make it 40% better.
This isn't unique to gachas or anything. It happens in different ways in all sorts of jobs. When employers turn a job into a "game", they shouldn't be surprised when their employees start playing that "game" well instead of performing their job well. Cable companies etc, before AI, when the human phone rep was judged by how many calls they processes/hour instead of how well they resolved complaints for example.
I think people in general are naturally drawn to statistics. We love having solid data points to look at and compare. To be fair, stats do a lot of good and can be really useful. But it's so easy to loose the forest for the trees. I feel that Plarium has done this.
They don't care when ppl quit....they won't notice
Sorry to hear that. I hope you find a new fun game.
You don't have to do everything. It is not Plariums fault that you have poor management skills. Making choices and playing strategically is part of the game. Sorry you failed to understand that.
@@Tugela60 many people do not realize that it's their own fomo and not Plarium that makes them hate and quit the game! they whine that there are too many tasks and events in the game, as if someone was forcing them to do it all - maybe they hear voices in their head? lol
I wonder if they're doing all the daily tasks, everyday irl as well or they're choosing what's more/less important?
Clan siege participation is only likely as high as it is because the GD red dot keeps coming back
Well that would show keeping it broken works 😂
That’s the purpose of the dot 🤫
I never click on the dot
I don't want them to redo anything. As things are going they will probably make the market worse, not better, they will remove antients and green shards etc. Have zero faith. Lately the thing behind my head is: Why do I even bother with this game anymore
Dito
They wouldn't have bothered to mention anything about the market unless it was going to be better.
Players have been complaining for years to change the market, and the moment they say they're revamping it, players complain not to touch it.
They finally changed the token trader. While it's not the best change in the world; at least it's in the right direction.
They don't care at all about the f2p/ casual players and this deck of fate really shows it. Not doing anything to 3x3 arena is shitty. The easy fix is to change the number allowed into each leave from a flat number to a percentage. On the 9th of Sept I started my 6th year in this game and in March I will hit 3 years of trying to get into Silver 4. For the longest time it was easy to maintain silver 3, but lately, I find myself bouncing between silver 1 and 2. In all honesty, I've been contemplating quieting the game. Might hold off until the New Year to fully decide. Lady Valkiry.
Hmm...6 years in Raid and 2,5 years trying to get Silver 4?The fault is only on your side, F2P has nothing to do with it.Play more than 30 min.a day. :)
Well if the game gets to a point where I am skipping nearly every event, that's the point where I skip keeping Raid installed on my system.
On the deck of fate. They basically said screw the players. They want to see if they can get us to spend more. That's it. There was no reason to change the reward system except to make things more expensive and see how many people will still go for it.
Basically they are testing to see how much players will pay. They know good and well the resources players have, that part doesn't need any testing at all... I really want Freyja, but at this point I don't think I can spend to get her due to other goals in my life and not wanting to give them ammo to increase the cost of future events.
Edit: I had saved up almost 20 sacreds to get her since I had heard that it was a summon event, and even with the switch I honestly was willing to drop $100-ish to get her, but seeing that it would cost me about $250 to get her... no... just no...
exactly this kind of message we need to send
If you guys saw comment defending plarium, or hating on godforge, that's most likely plarium employee lol, ignore them
There are some free suckers among them aswell :)))) Still, ignore
I think the future of “Raid” for most of us will be moving onto Godforge. 😂
Doubt it. Sure the game is not finished but soo far it looks pretty trash. Dont like the gameplay view at all. Noone i know likes it either
@@AD-qv1pui thought everyone was hyped for it lol. I thought it looks garbage also
I mostly switched to watcher of realms. I only play raid in super low effort mode
They will play Godforge until they can moan about that aswell, Because funnily enough they will want to make money off people aswell
@@bigvanhood ive just started playing wor too. You think its better for the player?
"every player doesn't need to participate in every event"
Bro the average player can barely participate in one event is the problem. Paylarium has become fully detached from the players at this point
Hey, Plarium, I have two data points for you... (as I raise my two middle fingers).
Clearly they have been tracking down what & how much "resources" players have been hoarding and "adjusted" the points accordingly, no surprise there.
This is exactly what they did. They saw players had held shards in reserve so they removed them from the deck. Saw that we have been stockpiling soulstones too so slashed the points. They want money and just showed there is no lows they will not stoop to.
Every answer they give is complete bs. Its corporate greed plain and simple.
I see a lot of CCs complaining about it but still doing the event. Would be good to see CCs take a stand and boycott the event. They would miss out on a Freya vid or two but maybe making a point to Plarium is more important. Plus the vid about boycotting would probably get a lot more views and support than one of the dozens of Freya build vids that wil pop up soon. Most of us wont have her so wont give a shit about the builds.
ya only like one CC ik is actually NOT doing it
@@jerryfox143 who? i will subscribe to them and unsubscribe the rest, including ash.

@@mojojojo6548 oddone gaming
Soooo basically they didn't tell you anything? Idk but that's what I took from this video
So the response that they regard THIS Deck of Fate as different from all previous Decks is of course bullshit. It is, as is always the case with Plarium, a blatant money grab; they don't even try to hide it anymore.
I think what adds insult to injury is that they don't even bother coming up with a plausible explanation to make you think, "Well maybe it's not ALL greed."
By the way, regarding Minotaur: could they, at the very least, get rid of the waves and just dump you directly into the Minotaur fight?
This event just placed my account into caretaker mode. I was hyped up for it, and now am inclined to play bare minimum if at all. Incredibly disappointing.
same i only still playing as care taker clan leader I want him to come back so I can quit lol, after thor and his soul i'm like this to much, skipped fusion first time since i started, glad going skip deck anyway barely did last they just resource black holes, I just going to stock pile shards/gems forever skip events now build champs I have just plarium data shows I'm ignoring marketing and player engagement by them. hope they sell IP to a game company not a casino one.
Fine, no instant battles. But they could allow background battles, so champs and used gear are locked while the champs are fighting and we could start another run in parallel with other champs.
THIS - Watcher of Realms allows this and it's a great feature (that I often forget to utilize). It's nice to set up auto runs at 3x speed, then go do champ and gear upgrades, or other dungeon / void rift content.
so your basically saying the game is dyeing and they dont know what to do to fix it
More the gestures than the words :)) Ash is scared AF of that happening
I really like the Asgard event, with Loki being pretty solid and Thor being great. Thor is the first fusion I've completed, and I instantly got both of them to 6 stars, and they carried me to finish Barbarians faction wars, also my first faction completed. I was hyped for the Freya Deck event, but I have nowhere near enough time or resources to complete it the way it's set up. Huge bummer.
Id love something like alliance stages once you complete FW you can use teams of the alliance to do like hard mode versions of the original layout.
Thanks for the update!!
Plariums greed has been crazy lately. I’ve stopped spending on this game completely and even dropped monthly gem pack. If they just showed they cared even a little bit, I probably would have still spent occasionally.
I’m just waiting for Godforge now, because I have hopes they will actually care for the player base. 🙏🏻
I think Plarium just punished us for saving sacreds for the Freyja event. This is extreme manipulative Bull Crap.
Yes they can see it in their program how many people have sacreds saved up and compare it to soul stones. plarium saw that so many people saved sacreds and decided to change it to soul stones. plarium want to see how many people can complete it without spending money lol
Even spenders are saving more sacreds since the removal of the monthly free one. They're only responding to their own stupidity
Man I saved more than 200 ancients and 15 sacreds just waiting for her Deck of Faith and about 5 days ago they announced her being behind Soulstones, that sucks
I just want an inbox that is twice as big and double the amount of storage.And please let us be able to sell artifact out of the inbox!!!
regarding pinpoint: I've done a LOT of the max level dungeon and what I've won doesn't come close to the stats I can get to with perception. I've not got it equipped on anyone and now I've given up farming it. Complete waste of time.
100%
Yepp I’ve burnt through close to 20k energy over the past couple weeks, mostly the event dungeon and some other ones. I don’t know why I still do it. The results are the same. Trash ass gear, any mythical gear you get every 1/50+ artifacts rolls complete trash.
Not every player needs to do every single event. The problem with this is that there are too many events that the in game economy cannot keep up. The amount silver awarded for stage completions , max gems in the gem mine, resources specific rewards such as soul credits and gold bars ect, have not changed since release . Its terrible.
No positive spin on the Deck of Fate event. Not only did Plarium make it extremely pay to win using soulstones instead of shards, they reduced the average points.
I was planning to leave the game already, but I can only imagine this is going to drive many others away. I may be done playing, but I'll probably keep up with RSL news for the rest of the year at least. Thanks for all the content @Ash
Faction Wars: "Hard Mode" is what I theorize. I can see them adding difficulty modes to it like in the champaign.
i'd be more okay with this change if they finally removed energy cost from Iron Twins
on the topic of this event - was kinda expected, that's why I didn't pull my shards during last x2 event
if they remove energy cost from Iron Twin it should be removed from Dungeon. Why? Because every boss in Dungeon cost energy.
For Faction Wars, my first thoughts are adding combined crypts in the middle of each set of 4 on the map. Example, a crypt in the middle of Skinwalker, Undead Horde, Knights Revenant and Lizard. You could pick champs from any of the four and the enemies would be like a hard mode version, with the enemies rotating each time it opens. If you did this, it would create a lot of possible combinations. Next would be Demonspawn, Orc, Ogryn and Undead Horde and so on across the current map. It would create 5 combined hard mode crypts that could open one at a time for a week, giving it a 5 week rotation and then possibly multiple rotation versions of each one making it more dynamic than Doom Tower currently is.
Hate to break it to you, but you basically just described the Cursed City 😂
My entire clan quit the game. We have 3 players left. I've never seen anything like this. Small whale clan just up and left. Siege was the last straw for them.
🤣😭😭🤑😂
😮 very sorry
if had whale money I quit to, I mean Hookers & drugs far better choices
Thanks for the video;
this deck of fate is a joke - they do not want 'to test' sth. they know the result and after all the nonsense they have done in this event, this is [personally; considering my channel] the biggest flaw - this time it feels kinda personal ...
(saving up for weeks, gotten a lot of resources, that would have been more than enough for any other deck that there was, but no this one ... without warnin ... again ...)
she's not a mythical
has no right costing this much in resources
@@andrewgrow5711 I am not interested in her as a champion, but as a fan of mythology - I do not care if she is top tier or f-tier ...
the cost is outrages (even for mythical, it would be too much), in particular with the limited ways and all of that without any word [until it was too late ]
We appreciate your reporting here. Yes off curse city the 5 star drops should be taken out.
I feel like something similar to the faction unity leaders should just be an inherent part of using same faction champs together. Whether it's a lazy pseudo empowerment to give extra stats, or more interesting faction specific buffs. Even a +/- relationship, like some champs already get against particular factions. It'd be cool to see a system like that develop through expanded faction wars.
They obviously don't want the majority of players to get both Frejya and do the current fusion. They downgraded the Champ Trg points for this DoF and the fusion Ch Trg starts immediately afterward with no overlap. I don't want Jeroboam himself but I want his frags as Maud food and as F2P I can't see anyway of doing both, especially since the Thor DoF had Ch Trg and the fusion Ch Trg tournament has already passed. Everyone talks about how hard the Dungeon Divers stuff is in these activities, but the Devs have really gone overboard on the trg element lately.
With people worried about nerfs, kinda poor timing for A/B testing.
Best of time they change the directions of view
i had enough soulstones to get Freyja from the soulstones, but then they increased the costs absurd high, if i dont get insane lucky ill get pissed and just take a break.
If you are short just do some champ leveling.
Thank you for the update, Ash!
Much appreciated!
My own 2 cents worth -
1) Nerfing Points for Freya Deck of Fate (DoF) by 40% - The only response which Plarium is interested in seeing if the whales and porpoises would spend in order to obtain Freya because Krakens will spend irrespective and average players would not be able to compete nor complete because we are all drained from the Thor fusion. So no matter what the general player populace's stats look like, Plarium does not care. They are only monitoring the whales and porpoises.
2) Faction Wars - Yes, more levels with more sigil rewards would be interesting and nice because most players who have completed all Factions would have characters lying around doing nothing much. So new levels would shake off some dust from our characters.
3) Quick / Instant Battles - I think that a good balance would be that if a player can complete a dungeon level within a specific time, say under 1 minute, they qualify for instant battles like on Demon Lord Clan Boss which requires a specific score to qualify for instant battles.
p.s. I am in a clan of only two active players - so i do not play nor am i interested in Clan Siege.
p.p.s. Although i am firmly in Classic Arena Gold 5, i have no interest in PvP and never played Live Arena.
The changes:
you can get mortal soulstones; instead of ancient shards from market;
minotaur will have super raids;
increased champ storage, for a lot of silver;
live arena more levels, like platinum 1-4, basically for krakens and whales;
tag team... plarium doesnt care...;
doom tower will not have any new rotations;
faction wars: hard mode, with brew rewards;
Cursed city: nothing special, more stages, especially only rare stages, against mythical enemies;
Event dungeon: another events, with life and offense set rewards, but you must do it with rares only;
clan siege: increasing the requirements, repairing 10x cheaper, but we will get 10x less resources for it too.
You're welcome.
I have quit Raid and am MUCH happier after doing so!
I'd like to see more stages for faction wars and expand the rewards for achieving those stages. Also, add rewards including another champion. Also how about some accumulated reward over a week or month of faction wars. Maybe items used in the forge for a new 9-piece equipment set that can have all 9 pieces forged. The number and quality would be based on the stage you beat each time maybe 1 point for stages 1-7, 2 points for stages 8-14, etc. That stage would also figure into the rarity of the items.
For Siege, as a clan leader (and perhaps the officers too), it would be awesome if I could see a quick chart showing my clan members and who has put teams into siege. Right now, I have to click every building to see who has teams set for defense. Likewise, for offense, being able to see who still has attacks left would be immensely helpful.
For faction wars I can see a hard mode like dungeons and I also see that being added to the Minotaur dungeon, maybe doubling the scrolls or tripling them
I thought putting this deck of fate on monday After draining everybody's voids was below the belt but It had to get topped by also nerfing the points. I am glad I was not planning to do this decafe but this has gotta be ticking people off
So I decided to do this event before this video - however, thanks to this event I will no longer be putting any money into this game - this video has solidified that for me - thanks for the update/info
I don't think that there's a single player that wouldn't enjoy more transparency and updates of the things that they are working on.
No matter how they look at us players, we are their investors. We invest in this game and that continues to allow them to invest in employees, make money, and expand upon this universe.
It would prove beneficial from a company standpoint to provide your investors updates such as this more frequently. Some of the things Ash went over, are all updates that I would love. Plarium needs to be more transparent and communicative with your community / investors!
"Reticent" was worth watching this entire video. Thank you Ash.
I'd like to see something done with the champions suggested gear. Everything is the same, no matter what champion you get. New players would be screwed following that.
Mixed news at best, but awesome update video. ty, Mr. Ash !
2:28 that was a slick fix my guy. Couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Deck of Fate event is too punishing for players. Glaring issue with equipment storage. Introduce four new sets, yet Plarium can't code in more space to store said sets? Amateur hour.
I didn't even notice that the points were nerfed because I still got all of the cards, minus one, with the soul stones i had saved, plus the ones that I bought from selling souls as I pulled them.
Did I sell souls I probably should have saved? Yes. (I pulled and sold a 6 star siphi soul so I'll be kicking myself if I ever somehow pull her, same for whichever mythical I pulled a 6 star soul for)
I still managed to get the event completed spending a resource I had only been saving for about 6 weeks to 2 months, and I only do void IT consistently mostly ignoring it during the week.
Plus I got new 5* souls that I could still keep for three of my legos.
It's Chipotle all over again, wanting more from us while giving us less.
Would love to occasionally get really good artifacts in market
Bruh any epic+ 6* piece of gear In the market for some of the good sets, is going to cost 4-8million silver. Then when you buy it, it’s gonna roll trash. Don’t get your hopes up.
iv been telling them to revamp market on twitter for the last 5 months im glad they are finally taking my advice weooooo
Live Arena, Clan Siege, Iron Twins, Shogun, Sand Devil,
All poorly implemented or not optimized, at all. It's a shame.
Anything new announced doesn't even excite me anymore, considering their previous efforts.
you forgot cursed city its trash, notice they did fix the cheese wins vs Amius because can have people winning without investing in a Crap ton of champs and gear
We need quick battle hydra that will be massive time saving.
They don't want to add Quick Battle to more stuff because it will have players spending less time on their game.
I hope with the event dungeon that when the current one ends and whenever the next one starts, whatever happens with the content in the future we some day rotate around back to the current event dungeon and champions that can be obtained again for those wanting more copies or those new or missed out.
The only live arena change that would make me interested would be to not have it live. I did not get into Raid for the pvp content. I'm not a competitive person. Doing a live pvp fight gets to my anxiety far too much. Obviously that is on me and I do not expect them to bend the game to my will. I'll just continue to not do that content.
It's too bad they don't do community surveys more often. Unsure how often they do send those out, but I heard they do send out surveys. I think I've only ever seen 1 come my way. Would like to do a survey about the either the event dungeon or the current deck of fate. The deck of fate which I will unlikely partake in. I'm not using my soulstones without a special alter event going on and I plan to save champ training for the Halloween fusion.
Just looked up where Plarium is from ... What a shock
Every CC complain yet almost every single one of them is apart of the problem pulling for a champ they will probably almost never use. If every CC boycotted this event a lot more people would follow and plarium would "have" to revert it back to ""normal"" for the next one
Maybe they should offer champion slots as rewards so you can collect more champions instead of spending a billion silver and a billion gems
For Faction Wars I could see a hard mode where there is a new champion to earn, and maybe forge material for two different artifact sets other than Perception and Resilience.
F2P here. I decided a while ago that I was going for Freyja because she looks so fun/good to use. Gonna be a slog during all this champ training but hopefully I'm right with how great she will be for my account especially since I just pulled all my soulstones (Got 1/2 the points from souls alone). My next big push for my account is Cursed City, and she just screams being a 10/10 champ there.
I decided to go for her too. I am like halfway there and im seeing so many people saying skip it. Don't know if I made the right choice
I've seen a lot of that too. Depends on where we are at though. I could see myself using her in TTA and maybe Hydra a ton, not to mention in Sintranos. Hopefully we get her though!
If you're willing and have the resources, go for it.
I think a lot of people have put up with this crap from plarium before and they know that (A) she's not worth what plarium are asking or (B) have endured these types of champ training in the past and its massive time sink that often leads to burnout.
I know most people will be negative on this video, but auto sell at the forge is a huge update! Happy to hear it.
Thank you for the updates you were able to provide, Ash. Keep being genuine and showing them how we all feel, via your voice in videos. The top comments at the moment are certainly echoing our experiences as well.
Thank you for asking about Tag Team Arena. It's a major pain point for me. Specifically how low the number of people in the game are permitted into the higher ranks.
Weird that it's "a new event, unlike any other" when it shares the name and mechanics of an established event. Shysters. Everyday I'm more and more grateful that I was able to pull Freyja from a white sand devil-provided shard. I was thinking of going for a +1 but maybe I'll sit this out.
Out of everything, all I got was the same response we always get from plarium! Nothing set in stone and nothing confirmed!
The market update proably will be no more ancient shards
RE: quick battle there is still incentive to optimize teams because so many events and tournaments are based on the turns that you take. Quick battle does calculate the turns as well. Not having quick battle advantages the optimized team, especially in the last minutes or hours of tourney as people try to get last points in. Which means that those who spend time and or money to build those teams stay with competitive advantage.
Personally, though I think the company would make more money with quick battles because people would then be incentivized to buy more gems for energy to get more runs in.
Just watch out on the market revamp. You see theyll get rid of mystery shards.
Nobody cares about mysteries though TBF so no problem there really
@@elfishmoss1457 then you're not playing very well
@@elfishmoss1457 Whos says that?
The majority of players rely on mystery shards for champs to use in training events
Wales might not care cos they have shards galore of the other shards so they have enough champs from them, but the majority of the player base relies on the mystery shards
@@playthegame7445 really? I've spent nothing on 3 months and £200 total, and I haven't pulled a mystery for as long as I can remember other than the daily mission, and I know a FTP who hasn't pulled mysteries since Armanz other than daily missions
@@elfishmoss1457 well the player base is bigger than u and ur ftp friend, how the f u expect to get food champions other via mystery shards and campaign, which campaign requires energy
In one breath, you say that they told you they don't compare events like the Deck of Fate, and in the second breath you say that they told you that they're going to see how it goes compared to other events. Great PR
big change to the market could be like extra 2 void shards 1 primal shard per month that can be bought with silver. maybe soul stones too. that would be a nice added bonus.
I’m in marketing and PR. There isn’t a way to spin this well. They hold the power and are pissing on the community. I won’t be flipping a single card.
Also, having done data analysis for hundreds of companies and communities, they’re not treating all players the same. They’re weighing the top spenders across a set period of dates and giving them point values, then going the same in brackets of spending levels and charting them in loss/gain vectors. They’ll only make a change if they dip below an acceptable loss margin.
The doom tower response makes sense to me.
Market changes are ready, the idea is there they’re just not wanting to do a roll out and have it used against them. They need the market revamp for their next giant screw up.
Gems are likely their biggest money maker across all accounts in terms of consistency.
The storage of artefacts and champs makes sense. Thats SO many assets to file and store, especially the animations of the champs. It’s tough when you have a wide player base.
They should introduce faction challenges. Where you have to beat a certain level of dungeons, reach a certain damage point on cb, or arena things. There is allot they could do with the factions
Could sure use some reruns on some of these fusions especially for new players.
I was a very very very low spender in the beginning, but f2p since grabflation kicked in years ago. But it is now getting really ridiculous , as well as a it is getting a time consuming job. Events after events, even events within events. Very close to quitting …. So many quality of live issues they can resolve , but don’t do. Too bad because I actually like the game
What if reaching certain time threshholds in some areas can unlock auto battle. To that add like some small rewards aswell.
Example: Finish Banner Lords faction stage 21 in unde 1:30 minutes and unlock instant battle and some idk brews, gems, soultstones, energy.
This way you can differentiate mid from late to endgame players a lot of them can focus on what is important for their account
Heres a crazy idea, how about testing things on an event that isn't involved with an exclusive champion?
On factions,I feel they missed a chance to add campaign chapters for the new factions where we can farm a rare from said campaign like the other factions.
How do you expand the champion and artifact grid, not the old button at the top left of the screen
Plarium is looking at the the Freya deck of fate as an entirely new event? Sure that makes sense, what kind of psycho would compare one deck of fate that rewards a legendary champion to another?
Pretty disappointed. I had to sell a lot of good 5s mythical souls to complete it. If it had been based off the old point system for previous soulstone deck of fates I would have had more than enough. I had 130 mortal stones , 27 immortal stones , and 1 eternal stone. Ended up using like 130 mortals , around 45 immortals , and 4 eternal stones to complete it because I didn’t have enough energy or gems to replenish energy to finish it. I would have skipped frejya if I didn’t feel like she’d be super useful in my team. I was delighted to pull Odin on the last 2x 10x though! 😂 at least plarium let me get that.
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TEST THIS WITH THE EVENT CHAMPION?!? they could have just "tested it" some other time... i really need this champion...i barely survive hydra hard.
To add insult to injury, i now have a 6 star soul for a gharol that ill never have
the only 2 things i have ever purchased from the market are mystery shards (daily quest) and ancient shards (because i want them). yeah, i would say the market is broken.
Every time they introduce a new set, they need to increase storage
