Plarium, I will grant you. If you realise this plans, then a lot of players will quit. Because few weeks later the players will have no chance anymore to come to platinum, because of the new armour. All strong clans will push each other in arena, and no other people will have a chance to win against theses guys with the new armour....

Having exclusive OP gear for the already top tier players is not good game design. How are the rest supposed to compete and get this gear once the top 20 players have full sets and the advantages this gives? 

Edit: I'm currently in Platinum and find this exclusive gear idea stupid.

You may reward the top players, but this is NOT the way. Give them a guaranteed leg book or something...

Waited for the 1.13 patch notes, was horribly underwhelmed.  Uninstalled the game.

Ok, Goodbye.

Here are some ideas that may help:

Avatars: you have images of all champions already.  Simply write it so there is an avatar for every champion and you unlock the avatar if you get the champion.  Just like the index....

Gearing: I don't understand the thoughts on the OP plat gear.  Over the top...is management on vacation and letting the office run itself?  

You want to keep a player base:

1.  Keep to the rules.  No reason to be giving any of these champions out for testing purposes or whining purposes.  This is one reason you set-up a test server.  And so you're not having to tweak almost everything you release.

2.  Spending money speeds things up but all content should be available to all players - keeps spenders spending and f2p contending, playing, and advertising for your game.  With new gear, over-powered, there should be a small chance for other chests to get it as well.  Draw your parallels from how the shards are with champions.

3.  99% of your low spenders should be outspending the 1% that are whales if your player base numbers are correct.

Hi Valkyrie!

thanks for doing this, put the muck in the world here in the board and  in discord. I think this job can be great, if the office (and devs) behind you work hard on the right problems and solve them without doing some stupid things that i´m (and _some_ others) so pissed off, i´m thinking about quit. 

Really, this job is a torment with this team behind you.

Sometimes in the past, raid devs said, they are players too... okay if you all at platinum stage, than i understand this sentence...!

How many players have downloaded the game, play every day, log in and do something.. how many are in platinum  arena?

You should know the numbers.. 

They said, they would do something against speed meta... really a speed set for a lot of players?

We don´t need specials for a lot, we need a robust running platform without outtakes and problems...and no compensation before the next crash..

And the artefact-mechanism to enhance them is so irritating alone (casino makes more fun), that is alone a reason for quit
Make this easier, give them a structure, a value, whatever but this silver wasting engine is really crap.

But, no things in our hands, let us gone, this teaser is the reason on top to go away...  

Sorry, i don't want your job. I hope you understand and i hope you give this to the devs and decision makers with their excel sheets...

Plarium, please, you promised inventory filters for the coming 1.13 patch. Now it seems like there won't be any inventory update... Can you put it in 1.13.5?
I hope you know this change is much needed and you'll listen to these words

Hi, guys and girl!

First of all, I would like to say thank you for sharing your feedback with us. 

I do understand that you're all waiting for Release 1.13 (and we do wait for it too!), however as we promised earlier, we want to inform about some things in advance, so that you are aware of upcoming modifications. Thus, we've made a decision to make this post. 
We want to reward our players for their achievements properly, so that is why we will introduce these additions!

As for rewards in Gold IV Tier,  as we stated earlier, 20  we discussed this question multiple times, but haven’t made the final decision yet. We thought about creating brackets in Gold Tier (like Platinum Tier with 300 places in it) to improve the rewards for Gold 4, but we’re not sure if such a feature can please most of the player base. Thus, the question about the Rewards in Gold 4 Tier is still open and we will keep thinking about what we can do here. But be sure, we do remember about this. 

Thanks for understanding.

The players are already rewarded for their achievements, with 6 star divine sets and other "goodies" from the current platinum arena chests. You state that the reason you don't want to alter Gold IV is because some people will be upset, so instead you're boosting platinum chests to upset everyone? (When I say you, I'm referring to Plarium as a whole)

If you want to fix this situation, then change gold IV back to ending at 3199, Platinum tier starts at 3200, and every 300-400 points increases the platinum tier, So you have Platinum 1 (3200 - 3599), Platinum 2 (3600 - 3999), Platinum 3 (4000 - 301 place), and Platinum 4 (300 - 1). Platinum 1 gives out 5-6 star Divine sets and 4-5 star new OP sets, Platinum 2 gives out 6 star Divine and 5-6 star new OP sets, Platinum 3 gives out 6 star Divine and 6 star new OP sets, and Platinum 4 gives out 2 chests of 6 star Divine and 6 star new OP sets.

That is the only way of possibly fixing this situation without changing the current plan to release the gear at all. I'd personally prefer you just scrap the gear, but this can hopefully be a compromise everyone can accept.

I want to vomit.

Seriously?  MORE ways for people at the top to stay at the top. Another thing that makes it harder for people to climb in the arena?

This announcement is beyond stupid.  Whales are complaining about not enough content as everyone is.  All plat arena needed was guaranteed sacred shards until you could make an arena store.  Don't waste resources and expand a garbage system. Tweak it til you invent something every other game does better.  If you want whales excited create more pvp like clan wars etc.  Your killing the game with repeated missteps.  I have been playing close to a year but have moved ftp and am not changing until they figure out how to get content out on a regular basis and work to balancing the game and not further unbalance it.  If i was only 3 month into this game i would have already bailed with all this bs.

This game has a timer ...unfortunately. Would be interesting to know when exactly "Aristocrat Leisure" (the company that owns plarium)  abandons this game and orders you at plarium to move on!
 I guess it must be a number....

Income Whale Money (since the corporate guys at "Aristocrat Leisure" dont give a ... on low spenders)  vs. cost to keep this game working. 

You see right through it. Big like for you.

Can't compete? No problem, we got you covered.

Don’t worry! They already have that planned out with a nice low price of $69.99. It will be a hot deal! Imagine getting the same gear as plat with your credit card! 

I posted in this thread yesterday about how I feel about the patch. Now my post is gone, I WONDER what happened to it.
