Marius, I know you take the brunt of a lot of frustrations being one of the "faces" of the company.  I don't doubt you are trying to do your best, and in my professional experience, your hands are mostly tied from upper-level management making poor decisions and not listening to you or the customer.

( WHOLE POST OF GREAT FEEDBACK )

There is nothing not to like in this post. While I have no personal experience in management I am working in corpo. There is nothing more frustrating than execs making glass ceiling for middle management to bang their head on.

I want to believe that CMs are banging their head on such ceiling right now - otherwise what is left is grim vision of 'i do not care' attitude

One thing that I have to say that has been mentioned NUMEROUS times in the past, balancing champions NEEDS to happen!  You keep saying it takes time, but it has been what, a year now, yet the only thing you guys have done so far is nerf several champions to try to get people to spend money replacing them? 

Hey there! Thank you for the feedback, it certainly was a long and thorough post. I won't be putting everything into the quote in order to save space, but there are a few points I'd like to address. 

First, the thing I did quote. I do agree that Champion Balance is important and shoulder prioritized - the Devs do as well. At the moment we are unable to dedicate as many people and as much time to it as we would like, on account of working on new content. But we've balanced a number of Champions in recent patches as well. Specifically, in 1.5 and 1.7. This is just the beginning, of course. We will continue working in that direction, and many of the Champions who are often brought up (Astralith, Tomb Lord, Dracomorph) will see various adjustments. We are working towards increasing the pace of development in general, and, ideally, changes of this sort will be a regular occurrence.

The same applies to Faction Wars and other content. There have been unforeseen delays, and we are not blind to the fact it's needed to liven the game up. Fortunately, that is something we have dedicated most of our resources to, so there will be things coming in the next several months. I am not going to make any promises or give time frames yet - lest I bring about another wave of "Sooning" that some players are so fond of ;) - but it is my hope that we'll shed some light on the future.

МАРИУС,Я ТЕБЯ ВИЖУ,ОТВЕТЬ НА РУССКОМ ФОРУМЕ

Plarium, considering how much money is this company making you all should be ashamed by your lack of progress, communication and updates provided to players. 

You are telling that you are lacking people for updates, patch, new content.. Please tell me. Do we look stupid? 

Let us clarify something. This is mobile game, people are spending so much money it is disgusting and you are unable to provide decent support. Your support should be on a lot higher level and you need to work more. Work more? Yes work more, so no free weekends no holidays. If you expecting people to pay this much you need to give them what they payed for.

Look at your forum. Accounts have been sold by bots. Content was announced months ago and not delivered and much more.

Do not get me wrong, i like this game but something is rotten here.

I was playing many games and this one is Great. In some of them devs where sending in game question od votes what to change first. Propably comunity have a good look on game and what is main problem. I also feal lack of balance in champions and faction strengh. Also some events should be changed - current one is crazy.... There could be lets say easy norm and hard option on all events. Also there should be earlier in game info about incoming events or fusion( and a lot more amount of possible fusions)

Best regards and a good Day to all:)

Just saw your reply in this thread.  For starters, thank you.  Secondly, I do apologize.  I didn't start frequenting the forums until after 1.7, so I was unaware that there have indeed been buffs as well as nerfs done in the past.  So, I definitely stand corrected on that.

But yea, there are some HUGE imbalances currently.  Like if someone has a speed aura and Roshcard in arena, I don't even think about trying them.  As I'm sure you know, arena only lasts 2-3 turns at most typically.  So, Rosh pretty much lets the enemy team become invincible for the entire encounter.  I am sure that was not intended, but unless you guys make some modification to damage in arena or how everything in arena is determined by who is fastest, it isn't changing anytime soon.

And then there's Big 'Un, who one-shots the whole group when people max out his crit rate, lol.  But anyway, not singling any champions out.  You guys see the numbers, you already know.  It's the same dozen or so champions, and speed is paramount. 

Hi.
Foly + arbiter is done...what else ?

It's my turn to give up, i would like to know you'll release some entertaining late game content "soon" (i mean a real one, not in two months) but you taught me to doubt about it.

6 months to add some competitive / cooperative / anything else than solo grind is really too much. I'm currently boring and the "huge event" was more a duty to go through than a pleasure to achieve, ok i'm rude and i felt like it because i was already boring but i'm far from alone in your player base to feel it.

Thank you for the months i spent on raid, the basics of the game are among the best i've seen, a pity the game didn't manage to evolve as fast as its players, i'm sure you still can make a really great title with it. I might come back later on to see how it goes.

I would thumb up this post 10x times if I could.

Really Plarium is this event supposed to be a giveaway? You obviously never intended players to be able to farm this champion out, since you made the goal 20k like with the Towering Titan, so only payers are able to get this too again and you call this a giveaway? Honestly then I do not wish to see the events where you want us to pay...

Thank you for the feedback. It's not always easy with these events to find a perfect balance.

I understand the wording may have been a little confusing but it's not intended to simply give away champions. Even if you can't get the champion from the event, there is always a chance to obtain one from a shard.

There is a vast difference between simply giving away champions and the two full workweeks needed to get at 20k in this event. You know from the feedback on the TT event how incredibly boring and torturous that event was, so I'm not sure how you'd think 20k is anywhere near "perfect balance".

The game needs more enjoyable content. Not free champs, not endless grindfests. That content could be an event with a reasonable effort/reward ratio, but that's not what this event is.

The fact that you can get this champ from a shard is completely irrelevant.

The perfect balance for events would be stop doing events where you have to focus on 1 specific aspect of the game and instead have it be possible to earn points through several different methods, such as an event with 1000k points needed to complete, 1 point for every energy used, 5 points for every arena token used, 25 points for every rare or higher unit summoned.
