+1 to the devs - Thanks for everything

[Narcil]

ya thanks for making the game almost unplayable, pvp not worth even considering and regular adventures not worth doing because the loot is crap. not to mention the terrible new UI making attacks harder to send.

hey but at least you're going to upgrade the barracks....

[Mortallicus]

Well the +1 and the -1 seem to be about equal so far.

Just a thought if saying +1 = Unicorns and Hearts
The other end of the spectrum just does not bear thinking about You get what you put in I guess.

Of great concern to me is the attitude and tone of players towards the devs? Why should they want to help us with all the abuse and an almost complete lack of praise for anything that they do in a game that users purport to enjoy.

Sure there are some frustrations - but let's cut them some slack for all the good times they've given us. Criticism is so out of control that it must be hard for them to take it/us seriously - what is real and what is just troll vitriol.

I for one say +1 to the devs. Sure, I look forward to my generals calming down on Roaring Bull but there's little to dislike in anything else they've delivered. Just tweaks - which if there was calmer, nicer feedback, then it might be easier for them to see what needed to be fixed rather than assuming that nothing is well received and everything needs to keep changing.

Thanks Dev Team Know that you are appreciated by some...

Happy Settling

I praise them when they do something worthy of praise. I see no reason to be polite and thank them when they repeatedly treat us like garbage. It's hard to be happy when they ask for player feedback and then promptly ignore all user feedback they get and release bugs that was reported on the test server. Why should I be happy when they spend loads of time introducing broken stuff no-one asked for instead of fixing the old bugs? There's been lots of small quality of life improvements they should have fixed that would make people happy but instead they keep breaking the game.

I'll stop calling them incompetent when they show some signs of competence.

EWiggin - my mother always used to tell me respect had to be earned. The early developers and game directors have my utmost respect and their ability to share their long term approach through a dev diary that talked about the direction the game intention was going was always well received. Its the thought and effort that went into the early game that keeps us all interested.


In the last 2 years we seem to have had multiple developers / directors that don't appear to want to engage - look at most of the recent dev diarys that are delivered regarding an aspect of the game about to be introduced rather than about a forward look diary or look at the negative feedback provided globally that has been ignored, consider all the aspects that are never put on test but thrown into the game and break things, look at all the items pushed onto test that excite the community and are then removed never to get mentioned again and you will notice that the attitude from BB Towers is one of contempt for engaging with their paying community and then ask yourself again why they don't get cut any slack.


I for one relish the time when the existing development and management team move on and get replaced with a team that has the same ethics and morals as the original team.

I remember back when the game was released. Sending bug reports was interesting because the ones you spoke with actually wanted to solve the problem and you could have a discussion on what the problem was and what triggered it. They even sent me replacement resources for bugs and a couple of times for helping them trigger bugs. Now we mostly get an automated response telling us to update flash, clear the cache and that any complaints have been forwarded because that's all the community manager is allowed to do. I do not envy poor Ian's job.

I agree with you, EW

Lol

+1 to the devs for the new content, +1 to those who give feedback and +1 to those who send feedback until it gave results.

[BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA]

Have you considered leaving then? Oh yes - both you and BAAAHHHHHJJJAAA said you would leave over the recent changes.

I will leave, I have a date and everything, and things like BB, the Devs et all finally get something correct won't change that as BB are flogging a dead horse; same adventures but a shuffle about with the loot, a limitation for certain adventures that players enjoyed doing and this capture the flag rubbish means IF you want to stay and participant you have to start from zero.

Ahhh but I can make 5k of troops in one hit now so it's all ok.

Some players, like slice and myself, have been waiting for PVP for 2-3 years. We have gotten everything out of the game and have stayed loyal all the while building resources and acquiring extra generals just for Pvp, only to find out that it has been for nothing.

If they want to keep our loyal they will have to do more than answering one request.


.....And I do think of the stick and carrot, every time i message support complaining about something and the reply i get NEVER, I repeat NEVER is accompanying by any form of apology I consider the stick.

for the most part, it looks like a Northisle Dev Appreciation Society has been formed - good luck with that...

Bwahahahaha This I loved

[Dorotheus]

Far as I can see it's too early to jump onto either bandwagon, lets have a bit of patience and see the results first before handing out the gold stars or 40 lashes.

Still +1 and -1 seem equal
I thought there should be a reminder that this thread is a thank you for the good times the developers have given us, the things that have kept us interested and playing. I will hopefully reach the 3 years in a couple of months which is longer than most of the games I have played especially the hours in the day I spend here. The game has been changed drastically since I started and some elements of the early days I do miss. But new has been added which I would now also miss
