developers don't come here 

No, but the moderators pass on feedback.

That is correct, in between fighting spam bots 🥹

Shall pass this along, again. 

All of this makes zero sense to me?  Are the mods paid?  Is that what's going on?  Why don't they have basic forum tools from 2019?  Why don't the developers speak to us?  Are they too good to comencerate with the rabble?   

I'm truly perplexed.  I've been in a gaming time capsual for 25 years it appears.

Nope. Things don't work they way they used to, back in the good old days, when you folks walked 5 miles to school in the snow, uphill both ways.

I'll repeat something from my grandfather used to sing... The times, they are a'changin

I pass on a LOT of feedback about clash that's like this, where people are very unhappy to spend so long on Hydra getting exponentially greater than the top chest, all for nothing.

Thanks for continuing to provide constructive and useful feedback that we can use to show how our fellow players feel.

I know its banter but when i played my first online game the developers did speak with us directly and when a student at university i was briefly involved in developing an ftp game- i spoke to players directly as well :)

So yes times have changed

Anyway thanks for passing it on, i am sure that plenty are frustrated with clash right now.

Indeed.  It's a widespread problem that we've given plenty of feedback on and will continue to do so.

I was a guide in game and moderator for AirWarrior, EQ, Plastic... and we had conventions and met our players... I'm certain things have changed, a lot.

First off I 100% agree with Trevors OP. This has been brought up many times and I unfortunately do not see plarium changing it.

Secondly, I feel hydra has been a huge let down all around and clash just doubles down on forcing unpopular content on the playerbase in a even more unpopular way.

I cant speak for everyone obviously but I would feel confident in guessing a majority of the playerbase wanted a CB 2.0, where you can make speed tunes and utilize different champions with similar results as seen in CB. The draw of this game is not needing to sit around and babysit anything.

The entire hydra clash is so bad and I cant imagine people spending money to try to perform better at it but Ive stopped being surprised with modern "gamers" anymore.

Hmm. Seems like something I may have complained about in the past ...

Wow, so many links.... Kram has been hacked and taken over by a spam bot!!!!

We need a mod in here to shut it down!!! @dthorne04 @ShortOnSkillz please help!!!

🚨 🚨 BAN ALERT 🚨 🚨 

Spam filter and "pass along" suggestions...  I knew the devs and was an aquantence.  The companies would send Christmas gifts to my home...

I had got to the stage where i 'didnt hate' hydra as i could auto nigtmare brutal and hard. Occasionally i would have to redo a run due to awful rng and bad ai. But generally it was 3 auto runs a week which i didnt mind. Its not exactly great content but i didnt hate it

Then they bought in clash, which for anyone in a remotely competitive clan means pressure to run manually. With the way the chests are set up, more often than not you get zero extra reward for the effort. Scoring over a billion points and getting nothing each week is annoying as heck.

Its already caused tensions in our clan with people on chat bemoaning those who do not run their hydra keys. 

Add in the incredibly obnoxious quest and yes its bad content being forced on people, and the content most likely to make me finally stop playing. Yes im ftp and the developers wont miss me but it is probably disliked by the whales just as much

I'm sorry, I don't celebrate Christmas. 😆 😆

Festivus > Christmas

It's a Festivus Miracle!! (One of the best episodes I saw during quarantine binge.)
