Hi Valk, thanks for giving us the heads-up. It is better that you share the feedback to the devs in advance, rather than right before release. The unique avatars are cool, and it gives a distinguishing recognition for being at platinum at weekly ranking time.
The idea of new sets allows power inflation to creep into the game, which is expected over the life span of any games of this genre. I have played several games of this genre for many years, and when it comes to noticeably more powerful set bonuses like these two, I would be more cautious on how accessible it can be made available to all players, or at least the majority. When the edge of competition relies heavily on both champion composition and gears, it becomes even more paramount that the ability to earn them be made realistically accessible to the majority, outside the need to buy them from gear offer packs that come daily.
1.disgusting items made by ppl that are not playing this game...
2. where is 1.13 ?
3. when we ll see new content ?
4. why u don t make platinum like gold divisions ?
5. why i'm getting rare books on UNM and NM loot ?
6. I didn't see a SACRED SHARD FOR 3 MONTHS !!! i do UNM and NM daily !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7. gold 4 arena: 3 useless, garbage items + 60 gems after 300+ games with 98 % win rate ... think about it, this loot is gain after 7 DAYS !
8. why we are getting rework for 4-5 heroes at 3-4 months ?( and last reworks ... u reworked angar from garbage to trash)
9. why raid shadow l. is the only game in the world without DAILY REWARDS ? to have a motivation to open the game everyday ?????
10. employees more ppl to work faster !
11. MAKE NOTES with 2 weeks early to give u our opinion, cuz u know nothing about your game ! TO NOT MAKE MISTAKES !
12. green aff. CB is bugged about hitting hard.. and he doesn't get debuff on him with 300 ACC and 100 % chance to apply.
13. faction is still garbage, i'm doing it for 2 min everyday, with all my disgust
14. i did all content in game, i farm spider 20 buuuuttt is still trash... my friends can do it with a lot of heroes and money throwed in the game cuz they can't get the right heroes
15. why 85% of the legos are just for one thing for example, arena .. and rest 15 % are for all the content in the game ? like martyr, valkyri,draco etc (they have 1021i8309237482 spells over other legendaries)
16. campaign NM is trash ...
17. we don't have a shop to buy atleast epic books and blue shards with points... if u are active and complete tasks to get points for shop
18.market is bad.. very bad useless building
18. quests, playingtime rewards are from lv 10 ... they didn't grow up with the lv ... like getting 2000 silver... after 1 years of playing
19. clan is useless, nothing to do with the clan, just to argue about hitting hard the boss and some can't get loot
20. energy is stucked at 130 and u started to make dungeons and campagin with 16-18 energy per run
21. we don't have a search button for our items
22. we don't see in the fusion tab what heroes we have in vault
etc.Wow! I never comment but this is ridiculous! You say you are trying to balance the game and then release gear for an elite few that will make reaching platinum even more unobtainable for the rest of us?? I agree platinum needs to be reworked, and those that make it there adequately rewarded, but this is not the way to do it, especially at a time when 99% of your player base is already feeling alienated. Gold IV desperately needs it's reward system revamped. How about spreading some love to the rest of the RAID community!?
Also, releasing patch notes for 1.13.5 before releasing 1.13 content... not smart Plarium! You have given an entirely new meaning to "very soon"!
Hey dev's,
I appreciate that you want to try and reward the effort to reach platinum tier, and I do not take issue generally with the notion of providing whales something worth their money, but what business model leads you all to something like this? Give whales in platinum tier rewards like shards or books or chickens or gems (things you can buy). That does not break your game. Even FTP or close to it can completely kit out a five champ arena team composed of the best five they have. Whales can do that faster and have multiple teams to match what they feel like doing on a given day. That makes sense.
But this breaks your game. First, how does anyone who isn't platinum get there after this? Pretty much only when someone else "retires." This is god tier pvp gear. Nobody who does not have it will be mounting a serious challenge to someone who does and is good enough at building teams to have reached your top 300. You basically poured development resources here for a game with tens of thousands of players into doing something that is going to benefit 300 to maybe 400 people over the next year AND is going to.lock that group in place at the top in arena. What were you thinking?
I'm expecting somewhere between $20,000 USD and $35,000 USD over the next couple months. Would that be enough for me to compete in Plat tier and maybe get a couple hand outs here and there? Just wanna know. I guess if not, I can always complain and what not and get what I want or need, right?
You give something away to a player because your odds honestly are horrible to pull anything decent, you need to do the same for every other player who has supported your game.
I LOVE that since this whole uproar has started, not a single one of you there have said a word. Instead, you're letting your mods on Discord deal with the trash pile you created. Way to go.
I agree with this opinion and I believe Plarium thinks that most of Platinum players are VIPs while the others may be... chickens....

Whoever thought these 2 new sets are balanced and acceptable rewards to hand out to 300 players per week should be fired. This is a joke and slap in the face to the 99.99% of other players.
Yes, and they will add as well "unless you pay more money as them!"

Die-hard fan here been spending a lot but still can't make to the top tier.
If you deploy this OP, unbalanced set, I will quit, along with a lot of other players. SImple as that.
You are basically telling the God-wannabes: HEY YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF THEM!
So let me get this straight plarium, we ask for better Gold 4 chests, because I can end up 20 points away from platinum and end up with an uncommon 5 star divine life flat rate hp boot, and instead ignore them and give better chests to the platinum tier, that already was getting better gear than the rest of us. You then also create 2 new sets of gear, which are incredibly over powered just from looking at them, which will only be available to the top 300 players (and for 24.99 USD whenever you make them a sales product, because you will, don't even think about lying about that as well). You release this info while we are still waiting for 1.13 (which will only be a couple of unit buffs and whatever battle pass is because you refuse to tell us about it) which should have been out in friggin October of last year, and because the development team is so horrible they can't even admit to their own faults and force the community manager's to take all the yelling that is meant for them?
Seriously Plarium, shame on you. Are you incapable of learning from your mistakes, or are you just that short sighted that you're willing to let the game wither and die for a couple extra hundred today?
Edit: Nobody has forgotten Dracogate!
So you already have a volatile community and you fuel more discontent, are you really all that ignorant. Was this because Cartman had a tantrum on some other stream, did Cartman request this garbage? Clearly your executives need to actually think carefully about what to do to appease a community so pissed off with you that they are posting negative feedback on every social platform around including all app store game reviews.
Even the time that Cirilla took with her live interview with Hellhades did very little to appease the community, if anything it just reinforced everyones discontent to a situation that needs to be fully resolved prior to releasing any other news.
And this news has further divided your community, way to go Plarium.....
Seems like a bad idea to announce another bonus to whales while the Dracomorph 2020 scandal is still going strong.
This is terribly unbalanced; people in platinum tier are already at the top, and they need items like this the least of all players. Allowing them to move even higher than the rest of the players will create a gap that new players will be unable to overcome, and takes away the incentive to compete for platinum tier at all, even for the rest of your fan base who have been playing a while now.
This is why I never pay for items or spend money in these games. Ultimately something pushes too many players away, the cash flows dries up, and then they take the servers down and all that money is just a memory. Many of us played that game before we started in RSL.
I appreciate those players who do spend money in the game, because they allow me to play while choosing not to spend, but ultimately a couple hundred whales aren't keeping the lights on at Plarium; it's mostly the normal players who make a purchase here and there. It's not a good business decision that has good odds of reducing the enthusiasm for spending on in-game purchases for this portion of the players, as I suspect this will do. I hope Plarium will reconsider such an unbalanced move.
