I get that you need to keep some sort of bias even if its artificial but you can do better than making it that obvious. Anyway, I think ppl in here find a whole lot of things about this post more offensive than a word that everyone can safely say in front of a 3 year old.

Don't take it personally. These are just the Forum rules.

P.S. I think we are getting off-topic here. If you have any further Qs about the moderating policy pls PM.

Thank you for hearing me out and I hope that you have the opportunity to go over this message again as I left a lot of golden nuggets for you  the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

@plarium I appreciate your attempt at transparency and thank you for it. This is my opinion on what i am being show, it would appear that plarium does not have an in house development team and you are sub-contracting this task to a 3rd party which is not an issue the issue apears to be that the team is not willing to take direction from either plarium or its player base.  This is the equivalent to going to McDonald's and ordering a #1 and them giving a #3 and telling you to just accept it. Eventually you will just go somewhere else. I really want you to understand that if the development team is not willing to accept a win - win scenario then they are creating a win -lose. If you would like a right list of what your player base wants, create a central host location to poll you're playerbase on what is most pertinent to them, then tell (not ask) you're development team what is needed. Thank you for hearing me out and i look forward to new content from raid.

Thank you for sharing your opinion.

However, I'll just point out that by "we" Valkyrie ment CMs. It was a regular CMs  and Game Devs feedback&suggestions meeting.

The time of me being passionate about or having fun with this game is over. At this point giving feedback is pointless. Plarium have all the feedback they need already. We all know that so no need to ask for more of it like they actually need it. The question ppl have have been asking for a while now is why all this feedback is being ignored. None of the answers ppl are arriving at are anywhere close to pretty.

Until you allow the special sets that drop only in plat arena to drop places that others can get them I will not reinstall the game and you will not have my money period. I left the game on principle because of the model you chose to use with that patch. Give to the rich so the people below would have even a harder time getting to plat. Very nice model. 

On top of that tons of people said don’t do it. You listen to nothing. Well you lost me with that patch.

As a veteran player myself, I get your frustration with that the most needed changes are taking time to be implemented.


That being said, things like reworking Arena rewards and Playtime rewards, as well as friend list and in-game PM are very welcomed.

I know this wasn't asked but it's important - will there ever be community play testing for patches to help locate bug issues and missions breaking before a patch is released? I've got over 15 years of experience play testing and it can really help restore the community's faith if they know that patches are being thoroughly tested and input being given by members of the playerbase.


Also, where is the challenge in implementing XP Brews and Shards as additional rewards, it's literally like 2-3 lines of code in loot tables. It's already done for some of the New Player first time battles, it would not be difficult to implement in dungeons at all.

I have a question?  Were these questions PR checked before they were asked?  I don't see the ones with the highest community priority even being asked???

As a relatively new player who loves this game it’s hard to believe how disconnected you guys seem to the player base. Most of these suggestions seem like their developmental goals set by the company rather than listening to the real issues and concerns of the players. I’ve played and play a lot of other great mobile games and this has the potential to be one for years to come. But the way you neglect the majority of players and seem to cater to low percentage of assumedly top tier players is disheartening. I’m begging you guys for everyone’s sake please put more of a focus on listening to the community and fixing the real issues in this game. Maybe then the comments won’t be full of angry and frustrated feedback from your past and current players.

Same here the plat only rewards for “super whales” stopped my spending on this game and I was easily spending $3-500 a month on this game and could still barely reach platinum let alone stay in it till the rewards came. The drop rates for legendaries are F’n joke. They haven’t listened to any of the biggest things I have heard players say they want. Like a guaranteed legendary after X amount of opened shards. I have f2p people in my clan that have been playing daily 6-8 months and don't have a single legendary. That's just bad game design. Also just goes to show you don't care about f2p players which is a huge part of your player base. Two of the biggest things I've heard people screaming they wanted was much higher drop rate for ancient shards. I did 75 spider runs each day for the last 3 days only to get 1 ancient shard. That is also bad game design 1 shard out of 225 runs really really. So for f2p people that brings the chance of getting a legendary down to like 0.00001 % so you have a better chance of Winning $10000 on a scratch off lottery ticket than getting a legendary. Then one of the biggest things I've heard constantly asked for is removal of the silver cost to swap gear. Almost 1 million silver to swap a set of 6* gear is straight ridiculous hands down. You already need certain build for certain things so without swapping gear a champ built for nightmare or unm is essentially useless anywhere else same with faction wars. It's already hard enough to get legendaries and specific epics then having to spend the amount of silver some f2p people make in a day just to swap gear on one champ is horrible. It should be free and there should be a load out system to single button change a set of gear. Please please actually listen to your actual player base and not some fictitious player base that came up with these suggestions.

What a surprise, more empty (and useless) promises. But what can you expect from a company that spends 90% of its budget on marketing and whatever's left on actually developing the game? Your goal is to get as many new players and get them hooked as possible, but you do a poor job of keeping your faithful playerbase happy. For God's sake, where are the really important changes that we've been asking/wanting for A Y E A R and would actually matter?

Fix CB once and for all, make that a priority. More space. Fix champion AI. Remember the AI spreadsheet that was put together by players and mods? I helped a Discord mod put it together and I regret doing it, as it's been MONTHS now. Changing that is literally a matter of adding an IF clause to your code. But you prefer to "think about" less than ideal, stupid changes. 

Do you even work?

Being "worked on" just means were telling you this to try to string you along for as long as we can but have almost no intentions of doing it within the next 2 years. This company is a joke but that's what you get when they are owned by a casino company. Almost all of these ideas came already built into age of magic. The AI in that game is so good it does better than you would manual. It knows what moves to use best and when. I.E. It wouldn't uses zavias a3 to start off a fight but would actually wait till multiple poisons were on the target first. Also if you 3* a level it let's u in the future instant finish it for the rewards and not have to actually play through it again. Requires another type of currency to do it but it's fairly readily available. It's just sad how much they don't actually Listen to there real player base.

Crazy how none of these relate to all the bugs currently ingame that has stolen money out of players pockets.


Broken missions

Arena chests not being rewarded 

Functions of battle pass not working (that thing people pay a monthly service fee for)

Ingame reward items not being recieved by players


And how no one can get a response to any of their support tickets for these issues.

and you all keep dancing around these because no one at plarium has the balls to out right tell the hundreds of players who have been screwed over these last few weeks that they wont be compensated



You people are a freaking joke.
