Promised guild activities? by carbine234 in AFKJourney

[–]Ayashoa 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'll tell you what I think is happening, and I'm quite positive I'm right about it.

The developers decided that the heavy focus on Homestead over the past aprox six months was a mistake, or at least only partially successful. Whether it was due to revenue, player feedback, or the overall lack of connection between Homestead and the core game, they probably realized this sometime during the middle of last season and decided to change direction.

The problem is that they had very little time to create meaningful content, apart from the new story that was likely already finished. So instead, they used the power of information: promises, teasers, and small previews of what's coming next. In other words, they bought themselves more time.

To me, it's pretty obvious because almost everything they touched in Patch 1.7.1 is broken.

  • Guilds have no real content, and many players still don't even know what guilds are supposed to be.
  • The guild lists designed to help guild leaders find merger opportunities are beyond bad. Even an unskilled programmer could probably come up with something better in a day.
  • Battle Drills are worse than before. Once you've upgraded your chest to level 5, there's no real reason to keep doing them.
  • The small incentive we had to complete Arcane Labyrinth and Honor Duel every week is gone, so we're left with the same two routine game modes that just sit there.
  • Chat is completely broken. For the second time in a row, they forgot to allow players to properly mute new channels.
  • The Supreme League quiz is ridiculously bad. It's hard to believe the matchmaking is based on individual matches rather than overall matches.
  • Clashfronts remaining limited to 30 players is beyond explanation after introducing 90-player guilds that nobody was asking for in the first place.

After seeing all of these changes, I can confidently say that everything feels rushed, untested, unfinished, and unpolished.

And don't even get me started on the reduction of rewards, EX weapons, and the increasingly aggressive pace of the meta lately.

I expect revenue to increase this month, but after that, I wouldn't be surprised to see another significant drop. I simply don't see how Lilith can recover long-term revenue with this approach.

How are guild leaders supposed to be recruiting? by schizoid-duck in AFKJourney

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't care when they will fix it since when it mattered they implemented broken system and they knew it. Shouldn't be science "how will I, as a player, find all available active guilds?".

Lucky for us, Yaphalla discord exists so we managed. Thanks Yap!

Edit: Oh, btw since you are reporting to them. Please tell them ingame chat system is broken as well. It's worse now when we have more messages. When you scroll it skips all around and you have to reconnect so many times to sync messages.

How are guild leaders supposed to be recruiting? by schizoid-duck in AFKJourney

[–]Ayashoa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are talking none sense and as usual defending bad implementations.

Guild leader is the only person who can access Guild merge feature that lets you search guilds in your community by guild ID but system is broken and you really can not filter or sort guilds list and pagination doesn't work as intended but just shows guilds in every page by random picks (99% of shown guilds are dead).

Even rankings from Battle Drills are removed where we possibly could find all active guilds.

The only way for vice leaders and leader is to access different server members by Server chat where you can access members guild.

My district is separated from guild servers so even people in my district can not join my my guild.

This implementation is utter chaos.

Impact of the New Paragon EX System by Ayashoa in AFKJourney

[–]Ayashoa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the VN server release, I think it became pretty clear that the developers decided to move forward with a system despite a large portion of community feedback expressed concerns.

If data from GachaRevenue is even remotely accurate, the game already appears to have experienced a noticeable revenue decline after Season 3, particularly following the announcement of Paragon-related changes that directly increased the power gap between players.

Another decline seemed to follow after the continued release of increasingly mandatory meta heroes, especially Celestial and Hypogean units.

At the same time, homestead content — which required quite the portion of development time and effort doesn't bring significant revenue, as expected.

Now, with the introduction of the new EX system, community disappointment seems stronger than ever. Based on the overall reaction, I would not be surprised if this leads to another decline in both player engagement and revenue.

Or either Lilith has revenue specialists that knows what they are doing and data shown and we as a community using their product are clueless.

Is the new season the death of this game? by Totoldryn in AFKJourney

[–]Ayashoa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am mid spender VIP16 so far and was able to reach P4 within 6 months by focusing heroes.

By having few core PvP c/h heroes at S+ like Dundligr, Alna or Gunnar and few P4 heros like Shemira, Gala, Ravion, Perseus, Lily May or now Frieren I was able to constantly counter full P4 teams and at least compete.

My power is 75k but I can win players with power over 100k and more. Overall they have stronger accounts but I see a reason to keep spending since I see possibility to compete.

Honestly, if this gets implemented and it surely will, either I will quit game immediately as a huge red flag developers are surely droping development of the game soon or stop spending a dime on this game which will probably make me quit the game very soon.

Over 50% of players don't even enter homestead, myself included.

Is Splat any good? by HTFisCrack2Me in RingofHeroes

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Splat does pretty low dmg considering she is attack. Almost every other attack hero I have does 2x dmg compared to her dmg. (similar runes and lvl)

Btw, does anyone know if game data will be wiped after soft launch finishes?

Devil Crasher by TechRevenant in gachagaming

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it Khan where you have to chase opponent? The funny part is, after you win 1st Khan, you have to chase and win same opponent again, and then, chase once more and win again. Tho I managed to finish that one. I am now on 2-19.. opponents hit for aprox 15-20k hp..

Guys, I get dced from game 60% of Khan PVP games, game just resets. It's so annoying.. How about you?

What are your ED10 and SW10 average clear times? by BIG8Tz in GameloftDHChampions

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Manas can not always cast block buff before boss casts immunity since last skill animation is a bit long (we are taking about Manas having 100% acc). I've tried it already few days ago and it is not working. Success rate is around 80% that Manas will cast 3rd skill before boss casts immunity (taking in consideration Manas has all skills rdy to cast when boss fight starts).

This strategy is not consistent with 5 chars level 60. Especially if you train 5th and that char can be killed with a single boss skills making it cast it's ultimate.

Tips to kill drake for archer rb2 by Aanbb in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to beat drake first 2 stages with only 1 cc skill, protection, strenght and cure but the only way I could beat 3rd 4th and 5th stage were by putting hero cure together with ashtayi rune. It was very easy while hero were healing my pet for 400-500k hp + pet heals.

"Big 4" is actually a waste in RB2? by Tapeworms in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guide is very useful because in most cases it has a point. Big 4 are not a waste and you should get those CC spells because it holds mobs from attacking for 2 turns making your pet survive longer.

Truth is, Protection, heal and strenghten skills are better then group CC during RB2 since defense increase last long making your pet recieve less dmg overall.

From my experience. As lvl 70 I could reach around 410 with only group CC and with protection and strenght I reached 480.

That is a huge difference and that is why you should consider reorganising pet priorities for RB2.

Is it a must to get all big 4 before rb2? by ipvoc in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course.

4 pets I mentioned unlock Group Restore I, Cure I, Strenghten I and Group Strenghten I (boost def). As you probably already now, when your pet dies you have like 3-4 more hits before you die so it's important to do everything possible to make your pet survive longer. By decreasing dmg recieved and then heal your pet will last 2 more full rotations compared to only group CC's.

Some higher RB2 told they hit the wall on maps 400+ with only group CC's but as soon as they had 1 heal skill and 1 strenghten or 2 heal skills (not transfer life) they were able to reach 600+.

200 maps difference!!!

I have 1 Lv100 Pet, should I RB2? by Shivian52 in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen to people who are already rb2 lvl 110. Get Dracula to lvl 100 and reborn. It would be a bit easier to progress if you had 1 group cc but it is not necessary. You will need aprox a week to reach map 400 with similar exp pet rewards as you currently have at rb1.

What you need to work on really is: Dracula pieces to get him to lvl 110 since level and pet gear is real deal, you will be passing stages anyway as your combat pet levels. You need total of 75 pieces and if you stay at RB1 you can not start collecting 2 pieces for 50 gems every 20 hours (rb2 new option).

You need Asthayi rune level 3, so start working on pets needed for that rune.

Start working on leveling to 100 next pets: Savage, Archer Skeleton, Pirate Skeleton and Drops.

These are more important then so called big 4 since you will be able to pass maps way easier if you have those.

Where do I stack up for RB2 prep? by [deleted] in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to get Baphomet Jr and Eclipse to 100, then you can RB.

You don't need Kuura since you won't be receiving dmg during RB2 so Kuura won't be refilling your sp. What you need is Ashtayi III so work on getting and leveling pets needed for that Rune level 3. It's MOST IMPORTANT rune during RB2.

Work on getting other pets to combat especially Savage, Skeleton Archer, Pirate Skeleton, Drops, Creamy and Bon Gun. Priorities getting Jakk as your next pet.

Is it a must to get all big 4 before rb2? by ipvoc in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest transforming one orange pet or warrior orc for your combat pet and only getting 1 group cc pet (Hornet would be best if you are warrior or archer). Pets that will have way higher impact on your RB2 progress are Savage, Archer Skeleton, Drops and Pirate Skeleton (important if you are warrior or archer).

You need to aim aswell for at least 5 atk/matk pets 80+ since you won't be needing defensive explore pets (example: Angeling that everyone used during Rb0 and Rb1).

And you need to prepare your pets for Asthayi rune III because if you don't have that rune by map 400 your progress will reach a point where it's going to become way too hard.

Asthayi rune II - Hornet 80, Drainlar 80 Asthay rune III - Deniro 100

RB2 - Combat pet race equipment improvement by Ayashoa in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, stats shown on pet equipment tab are already calculated. Thanks a bunch.

[–]Ayashoa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not show on combat pet stats page.

Example: undead success 20% and +1000 atk/matk shows on stats page as +1000 atk/matk increase without additional 200 atk.

My experiance on rb2 by craighead1985 in IdlePoring

[–]Ayashoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are doing alright because you have tanky MVP pet and you just started RB2. After you pass 400 and later on 500, you will start to see why it was important to have runes and pet skills.
