@devs/ Community Managers:

Are there new Informations when Update is to come After delay (as often is)? 

What is the big thing we should prepare for? The hillarious fusing Event where you would have to Fuse round about 20x 6* for big reward?

Or the Maybe eben more hillarious „big chance“ for Legendary heroes (for which i will definetely Not waste my hard claimed Epic Shards without getting Event reward)?

Hope you Ment something else, otherwise it looks like Fooling players and hold them with false promises while Not getting your work done...

Think you Need more staff in developing, Troubleshooting and Communication, less und advertising. No one will care about wallpapers when Playimg the Game isnt fun anymore

There is a whole list of things to prepare for that Cyrilla posted

Here is a short list of features that we have been developing. They are due to be released in the nearest future:
- 6* and Legendary Artifacts
- Multi-battle
- New Fusion
- New Daily Login Rewards, including brand new Champions
- New rewards in Dungeons and in Events
- Raid launch in the Plarium Play desktop application
- Faction Wars
- Artifact Upgrade items

To Cirilla and Marius,

With much of the comments coming forth regarding the long awaited update, features, etc being pretty negative I wanted to just drop a quick note thanking you two for the work you do to connect with the community. 

I realize the difficulty in trying to address a very passionate player base, and while sometimes communication has been a challenge I have still appreciated the work that you are doing to try to connect with the players.  While my history with the game has not been as long as many others (roughly 4 months now)  I have appreciated the quality of the game that you and the developers have put forth.  As with anything there is always room for improvement and I look forward to seeing those improvements occur.

This is what she was referring to, not the events that were launched to make sure there was something to do while the Update is being finalized - per player requests by the way.

Are the new 6* gear and Legendary artifacts coming from Dungeons that havn't been released yet like above lvl 15? or will there be another way to obtain them like from faction wars etc?

That will be the most convenient way to get them for certain. I am not yet sure if balance will change, though it's possible you'll have a tiny chance to get Rank 6 Artifacts from Stage 10+ as it is shown now (mind you, I suspect that will change).

Thank you again, and have a great day.

It must be really awful been repeatedly stripped off credibility affront of whole community by you own team... I lost my trust in any info coming from community management because it seems like you cannot trust your source either.  It said to say but Raid's project manager would already been moved to toasters programming group if working for serious developer.

Now, let me arise new question; can we expect the game will be fully functioning after update? Or should we expect something even worst that 1.7 issues? (still in debt, btw) Maybe,  just maybe, best for everyone would be call it for next month or two and have that done correctly, compensate 1.7 meanwhile and hope that company image will rebuild over time.
Right now, I know nobody who would recommend Raid to someone.  Sad but true. Also limit of my acceptance is nearly over. I stopped paying for any goods and services month ago and now I am ready to go and don't come back.  But I am just a small figure in statistics of course...

I don't know. It's irony, right? They mentioned they had daily standups/meetings with the team. So it's not like CMs say one thing, developers do something else (play Angry Birds all day?). They're in the same boat and it's a question of what to share with the community and when. So far they haven't been good with neither "what", nor "when".

Bottom line is, promising/teasing "new goodies soon" when you have no idea about the "soon" part is a bad strategy. I feel like I'm on Kickstarter pledging $100 for some cool toy that I'm not even sure will ever be released.

Speaking of good strategy - prolong beta, tell your community you're collecting engagement metrics (whatever, really, anything that sounds credible and can go on for months), don't tease players with stuff you have no plan to release, don't release half-baked stuff, be more proactive with announcements, be more reactive to issues and feedback from users, fix bugs quick... But oh wait, that's a lot of work...

Im Not sure whether to invest my shards or waiting for Update is better...

the Russian-speaking part of the forum is also waiting for this information.

i had like 500 green shards that I will spend on this event.

I am not touching 22 blue, 3 void and 1 gold shard this time around - will wait for next event after 1.8 release to use them.

If it's not released by next monday or Tuesday they will prolong it another week because they run skeleton crew on the weekends. If it's released Wed/Thursday it will only give them a day or so to fix bugs that arise from 1.8 update and they probably won't do that.

I'm being optimistic that it will be released next week but I'm really expecting it to be pushed to the week after.

The plan to release next week still stands as of today. I don't have an exact date yet, will know better on Monday

The Plan for „Next week“ was two Weeks ago already. This week was the „when IOS Confirms the update-week“ (which Takes Max 48h). 

Stop Complaining and either say a Correct Date that Does not change Evers week you players are waiting For it or that you do not know Cause they did not develop so far, just brainstorming, no one in the Company Eber was Programming a Game on the Long run- sarcasm off! Sorry for that. 

A somewhat angry, somewhat bored Player. (When to bored, i will leave- stopped imvesting money Long ago- Maybe continue, when devs Start to deliver things they promise Evers week. 

The plan to release next week still stands as of today. I don't have an exact date yet, will know better on Monday.
