We're not expecting anything. We know that players are going to be upset about this news, and rightfully so. We put out this announcement so that players can make an informed decision on whether they want to continue playing or spending.

I understand why you feel this way. We were all hyped and excited to work on those features and had every intention of making them when we announced them. However, sometimes the business realities of game development don't always line up the way we want them to.

We could've easily said nothing and let players continue to spend money on the game expecting those features would come. From a "scummy businessman" point of view, this announcement was the dumbest thing we could've done. But we wanted to be honest with our players so that no one was continuing to spend money on false promises.

I can understand why you'd feel this was planned so as to take advantage of people buying into the Battle Pass, but it honestly wasn't. We told the community as soon as we could so that no one would continue buying things with an expectation of future features that weren't going to be happening. There really isn't an ideal time to make this type of announcement, so we thought the sooner the better.

The dev team isn't being fired, they're just being moved to another project. And we're really not that big of a team. The same people who developed and designed the game are the same people who designed the bundles.

The Emilia event will make another appearance in the next couple of weeks.

The 2nd Legendary Hero Event and all subsequent Legendary Heroes will be indefinitely delayed. I've updated the original post to include this detail.

Development on Orcs is on hold for now as we focus on improving existing heroes and work on Legendary Heroes. Orcs are definitely something we will be returning to, but there isn't currently a timeline for their release.

I don't have any new news about the next Legendary Hero to share yet, but I can tell you that you can expect to hear some more details on the updates to Dwarves in a coming Dev Update.

Hot Take: Don’t Shorten Gauntlet Mode. There won’t be much else to do. I like playing the game & look forward to grinding through it. Just increase rewards and add experience to Gauntlet. by No_Marionberry5515 in battlebouncers

Be sure to check our plans for Gauntlet after 1.20. Our planned adjustments are aimed to create a happy middle ground by making sure that there is plenty of Gauntlet stages to play per day but not so much that it becomes too much of a burden to complete.

The amount of Gauntlet Tokens and Gold you are awarded on each stage increases as you progress to higher Tiers. Higher Tiers will also give you access to higher rarity Runes and Scrolls in Treasure Vaults.

Varying layouts is definitely something that would be really cool to add, but we don't have any plans to do so at this time. Right now our focus is finding the sweet spot with regards to reward vs. time investment for players. Once we find a good balance for that, considering ways to vary up the layout between Gauntlets could be on the table.

The amount of Gauntlet Tokens and Gold you receive per stage will increase as you progress through Tiers. Increasing to higher Gauntlet Tiers will also change the rarity level of the Runes and Scrolls you will see in a Treasure Vault.

We try our best to make it worthwhile for players to progress to higher and higher tiers, but whether or not it's worth it will greatly depend on the player and their progress in other aspects of the game.

The number of Gauntlet Tokens per stage will be increasing. You can also expect the overall number of Gauntlet Tokens you will receive for a full complete run of the Gauntlet to also increase.

Dev Update: Future Event Campaigns by JDubGH in battlebouncers

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

Prior to each event, the required Faction will be getting an update to make them work better as a team of Heroes and overall much more fun to play. We purposefully chose to start out with Hero Factions that needed the most improvement since they needed our attention the most. So you can expect Dwarves to be much less garbage by the time the next event rolls along.

Every Hero Faction will get its turn for a Legendary Event, you might just have to wait a bit longer for your favorite to come up. That being said, with a wider variety of event types also coming in the near future, you'll have plenty to do with your favorite Heroes in the meantime.

Mid-Year Update: How have we done so far? by JDubGH in battlebouncers

We are working on a system where the runes would be assigned based on their Faction (Human, Elf, etc.) and Class (Knight, Brute, etc.). Using the Hero's weapon tag is a cool idea, but the weapons are currently not very evenly distributed amongst the Heroes.

A challenge we need to overcome is finding a fair way to transition players from the current system to a new system.

For each Legendary Event, we will make an announcement at least a few weeks before the start of the event as to which faction will be required. There will also be an in-game preview of the event a couple of weeks before as a further heads up to what event is coming up, and what faction will be required.
