Thanks for the fun and goodbye
Having played for 2.5 years (since Maullie fusion) and finished all game content (except hydra and 2 secret rooms) pretty much on release, I realized recently I have been playing this game on autopilot more than of enjoyment.
Part of it is definitely boredom. Another big part is Plarium's incompetence. I don't even mind the greed - I have spent a significant chunk of cash into the game and I don't regret it. However what really gets to me is that at almost every turn they flaunt how poor they are at designing the game's content and champions. A few recent examples:
Urogrim was clearly not tested at all on release
Hydra is a joke of an RNG fest. It's extra hilarious that it opens to new players when they hit level 45 when you at most have 2-3 6*s.
Clan quests released with 30 quests for 30 people. They 'fixed' it, but still in a way that can cause unnecessary tension.
XP required for clan levels are laughable, as are therewards.
The order and the quality of the DT secret room reward champions makes no sense. By the time you are able to get most of them, you don't need them.
New RNG sets from Hydra that serve to make already absurdly long arena fights even longer and less predictable
Endless fusions with equally endless conditional requirements on their skills, making them worse than lots of epics
Balance changes are rare and largely inconsequential
When is the last time we had a bug-free patch day?
This is not an exhaustive list. None of the above are a deal breaker in themselves, most don't even affect me personally to any significant degree - but they point to a pattern. I don't know if it's a pattern of apathy or incompetence, but I am done waiting and hoping for the game's direction to change for the better.
Raid is a good, fun game despite the cringy ads. It had the chance to be a GREAT game, but IMO that got ruined by banal incompetence.
What's next? I don't know. I am not selling or giving away my account - please don't ask. I am also not moving to a new game. I am as curious how I will fill my newfound free time as you are.
P. S. A huge heartfelt thank you to the Lizardmen Family cluster for giving me the privilege of being there for most of my game's tenure. I love you all <3
