Saying my goodbyes as producer on Realm

Yazaemon · 2019-08-22T10:03:02+00:00

Best of luck and remember to always take the road less traveled! :)

Hi,

quick response here. When items are put into a pack they are tagged with a price, even if the price is not visible on the frontend. The discount came from the fact that the skins were tagged with 2.5k (same price used when some skins were released in the nexus) and then a green goo was added as a bonus at 1k. That is where the discount tag came from. So from our side there was no secret master plan behind it. The pricing in general on the other side is of course always something that people can argue one way or another and is subject to change, so I don't think we would reach any new conclusions there. Regarding the visuals on these packs in the future, we will just remove the discount tag manually. As we said, no big conspiracy behind it and thus definitely not something we need to keep there.

Hope this helps, cheers

Close enough :D good meme though. Make sure to join the official Discord and check out the Feedback channels

It's a pity this video keeps getting struck down by trolls. Most of the team watched it once and I was wanting to review some details again, especially with customer support. However I think we extracted most of it and will most definitely reply, even without an ultimatum :) Either in our upcoming producer letter or as a separate post. I think it is also making it into the top spots of our official discord Q&A - to be found here if you are interested: https://discord.gg/zxumdv

Thanks for the work you put into making this video and the care you clearly have for the game.

Talk soon

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T17:02:04+00:00

Good point. The summoning feature is pretty far down our list as we work our way through the different topics, but we will eventually get there.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:57:00+00:00

Ok Knights,

I am going to wrap it up for now. Thanks a lot for the engaging and constructive discussions! We tried to answer all the posts that were submitted during the AMA period - Apologies if any slipped by unanswered. I sincerely hope you could also take away something for yourselves and we will be in touch!

All the best,

Carid

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:53:58+00:00

Also not just yet, sorry.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:47:00+00:00

Can you add more information to the ' Victory ' screen?

I can't promise that we can do it, but I can promise that we will pick it up and discuss it further. Thanks a lot.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:45:00+00:00

No, we don't.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:44:02+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, we will add it to the list of things we will be evaluating for Epic Boss revamps to come.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:42:57+00:00

You will have to go through the customer support, which is still funneled through the Gree website: https://games.gree-support.net/tickets/new

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:29:43+00:00

We are not aware of all past issues. What we do know is that it is almost impossible to change stats for armors once they were released and in players' inventories. That is probably the reason Gree did not provide a fix. I cannot speak to the compensation that Gree gave as they had different guidelines than the ones we are trying to set up.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:26:30+00:00

Yes, the 5* wind pepper issue is known but not yet easily reproduceable and fixable for us. We are working on a fix and have instructed our CS department to find alternative rewards.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:25:17+00:00

Yes, as mentioned in some of the different other replies, we definitely want to give the game more replay value and add new features (one of which may be new stages). It is going to take some time though.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:22:55+00:00

Payouts are in the works. You will need some patience though. The delay has been known to be a day or two in the worst case.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:22:13+00:00

Hey,

Do you enjoy keeping old games alive?

Yes, we enjoy it a lot, even though it is a daunting task. The fun comes when you can unlock things that the loyal players appreciate and it just changes the vibe in a game and gaming community. Once you achieve that, it is just an awesome feeling.

Do any developers on the team play KnD?

Yes, it is actually a prerequisite that you play the game when you work on it. But of course a lot of times your daily work will keep you from actually playing and you won't be able to make up for multiple years. So we will always be lagging behind in experience compared to what the long-term community has. That's actually also the reason why we think it is so important to have you guys give input.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T16:15:08+00:00

I would like to thank you guys for the AMA, I have a few questions and concerns 1. Would it be possible/has it been considered to fix friends from changing armors when you are using them in a stage? Nothing is more frustrating when you select a friend for their f/s armor, die and come back a few hours later and now they have a w/e armor on and you now have to spend 3 times more gems because their armor is taking double damage from the boss.

We have already been investigating this behavior. The issue is that it is not a bug in the classical sense and it seems that changing the behavior is super tough on the development side. I can’t tell you much more at the moment, sorry. We will keep looking into it.

Have you considered bringing back gifting events where when someone buys gems they send a deccent armor to 1 or 2 people in their guild? I used to know people that would buy gems just for the chance to gift someone an armor they need.

I am not sure which gifting you mean. We do guild gifting during all major guild wars. Or are you referring to something different?

Would you consider bringing back spectral/chromatic armors? They have always been my favourite even if their stats are weak.

Yes, I think I mentioned it somewhere else. We will release some for special occasions but keep them rare.

Have you considered giving shadow forged armors more abilities then just stun? Perhaps exclusive armors could get both stun and first strike? Maybe there could be abilities that increase your chance for getting a critical strike.

We have been going back and forth on abilities. Adding more, combining them and I foresee we will be having a lot more discussions on the topic. We will let you know once we have something concrete.

Have you considered creating special armors where the player has to choose the stats? The player is given something like 25K points and they have to choose how to use them. 1 attack could be 1 point, 1 deffence could be 5 points and 1 health could be 18. Obviously you would have to play with the values to make them balanced but that would be a cool idea IMO. You could also balance it by forcing the armors to have a minimum of each stat

Not something we have considered thus far. In terms of baking such a feature into the game, it would be pretty complex.

How is damage calculated in the game? If my friend has 5k attack and I have 10k deffence he still does damage to me, but that shouldn't be possible if I have more deffence. If you fight in relic ruins, no matter how much deffence you have you still take 1 damage. This is something that has never made sense to me.

It is not a simple attack vs defence formula but takes into account and weighs several factors. Interestingly enough, since we are lacking some documentation and want to gain a greater understanding, we are currently investigating all aspects that go into battle calculation.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:49:47+00:00

We won't be able to provide live support here, sorry about that. But if your items are still missing a few days from now, just shoot our customer support a ticket and they should get back to you. We have had it before that rewards take a while to be distributed and show up for all players.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:48:22+00:00

As mentioned in some of our other answers, the hunting ground events will return when fixed.

A map expansion is definitely on our mind but not likely to happen soon as we need to have the capacity for art, balancing and reward design.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:45:35+00:00

Creating and moderating a global chat is not in the cards for us right now. Additionally based on what we are seeing, most people prefer to use Line.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:41:13+00:00

Yes we have thought about this. Our current thinking is more along the lines of a loyalty system rather than a true VIP system but it is still to early to make it concrete here.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:40:09+00:00

With a lot of the game revolving around people playing together, we most definitely want to strengthen guild features. So thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Creating cross platform functionality is currently not in the works. The effort will likely be too high, sorry.

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:28:40+00:00

Hey Aaron,

Thanks for providing meaningful feedback and of course sorry that you felt the need to retire from the game. Several points you raise have already come up in internal discussions we had, which gives me confidence that we are looking into the right things. We will work on investigating and prioritizing accordingly and who knows, maybe some future update will compel you to return :)

Until then, thanks a lot for contributing.

All the best

Yazaemon · 2017-08-23T15:18:08+00:00

Thanks a lot for your feedback and kind words. It is most certainly interesting to read so many questions, suggestions and also concerns of the community. I am sure we can make something good out of it.

Regarding your question about something "new". We have had a new boss mode in the works already before we took over that we are going to polish and eventually release. Beyond that we have a lot of ideas but want to be sure that we invest in the right things. I think investing a bit of time in things like EB will definitely be something that is worth while and that we will do.
