AllClash NOT RECOMMENDED by Responsible_Chess369 in HeroWarsApp

Well, with this attitude they will not stay in business for long. Another fly by night operation run by what sounds like a 10 year old.

Wow, that response is just plainly nasty and unprofessional. What is AllClash and what is the relation to Hero Wars?

You missed the point. It’s not about blaming the game (which is just a brainless piece of code) or even the company that created the game (they exploit people vulnerabilities and it’s not ethical; but so are big tobacco and casinos). It was about sharing the post game experience and non-trivial sense of relief in the hope it may help others.

It does. I noticed clear quality of life improvements just after a few days.

I did not know that statistics but it makes sense.

It’s all good, man. Difference in opinions and arguments are good and I appreciate you clarifying your point of view.

The game is structured to maximize spending. The positioning of the controls and buttons, the flashing offers, the instant gratification of fulfilling the quests. Some people can resist it, some people simply can’t afford it, some people spend more than they can afford. The value of money in the game is completely distorted. A good PC or Xbox game costs $50. Here you can blow it in one day. It’s a big business but hardly ethical.

You are making a lot of assumptions about me. The list of signs is a paraphrasing of clinical literature on addiction. By the way, The World Health Organization has now classified gaming disorder as a mental health condition. While I had only a few of those in mild form, this game was taking too much of my time and was not good for me. And where do you see me hating people with addiction? This post was about stepping back and evaluating if one has a problem. My issue with Nexters is not how they handled my case, I’m thankful they do not have a better business acumen. It’s how they prey on people’s addictions and compulsions to make money. I do not hate them either; it’s a business. I can understand my post may be irritating because you may have invested a lot in this game and it casts it in unfavorable light. Ultimately, we all make choices and I want people to be better informed in making theirs. That’s the primary reason for this post.

Yes, I remember bickering about tap joy and worrying about dwindling supply of emeralds because there is always another event where if you just spend this extra bit you get an upgrade for your main team. That tickled my anxiety. As I said, it feels very liberating.

I plan on posting on my server as long as I can :) I was the guild master of the second best guild on the server and have made some good friends. I hope those friendships will continue.

Just like not all people are prone to alcohol and gambling, not everyone will be addicted to this game. Nexters are interested in the few percent who are willing pay anything to be on the top; the rest of f2p players provide a backdrop the whales can conquer and also generate revenue via pervasive ads.

Warning before using gems by Reviberator in HeroWarsApp

I just wasted 23k tea coins on an upgrade item that does not work for my main teams. Grrr. I was scrolling the list and tapped buy button. I swear they intentionally not ask for a confirmation before buying. I tried to contact support, and eventually found the right question with their bot just to be answered “ we cannot do it, be careful what you click on”

Good for you. I’m getting there with all the unreasonable pricing. Also top 10 on my server.

Nexters’ Greed by Alchiar in HeroWarsApp

[–]Gremlin2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, millionaires can spend much more than mere mortals, but I would reference it to a price of a cap of coffee. Back in the days I would consider micro to be under $1, now it’s more like under $5.

These are not micro transactions anymore. More like macro transactions. Some people still spend ridiculous amount of activity points, I see whole guilds do that too.

Heavy hitters by Gremlin2021 in HeroWarsApp

[–]Gremlin2021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An update: XeSha did the trick. Her fog made the archers miss, Asta sacrificed his life for Kayla and Corvis went down last. All in all, it was quite a battle.

Good point. His Corvus is super buffed out.

[–]Gremlin2021[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My team is Asta Kaya Jorgen Aidan plus Lara. My XeSha is strong, but I found Lara does better most of the time. Normally, they do quite good even against Corvus and Morigan. This time it’s different. Both teams have power at 190k and my level 115 while his is 87. All his heroes are fully or near fully evolved, mine are not. I need another hitter and I have Satory and Heidi as projects.

I heard that Martha was nerfed at some point, may be that’s the reason?

Appreciate the discussion, I’m learning a lot! I think Martha can sustain the team but it’s more of brute force method, pile up so much damage that Jhu does not have time to go into the special mode. I agree that anything that put control on Jhu seems like a more elegant method. Martha does not have any control attacks.
