Its not a choice, its random.

Thank you for all your hard work!

However I cannot recommend the app to anyone until you remove the forced restart the app due to HUD Sync errors. Please figure out another way to retrieve/update info without forcing a restart.

May not seem like a big issue but your app takes atleast 20 second before you see the world map.

If I had to guess the world chat is what needs to update constantly ? Please give us an option to remove it like on the browser version.

A Suggestion

 

The web version of FS will automatically log you out when you log in on another device or browser.  If the same held true when logging into the app, (i.e. logging into the app would log out the account on another device or browser and vice versa) I believe the sync error could be eliminated, and also the incidence of a new account being created by installing or opening the app could probably be minimized as well if we had to go ahead and log in each time the app is opened as well... 

 

By no means do I know if this would work or is viable, but my old lady logic feels that it's worth mentioning...  

As a young man who has been using the internet for entertainment since the year 1999, this is not the solution. Please do not create artificial restrictions that hurt the app's UX instead of actually making switching between browser and app "seamless".

I already have to deal with logining in a few times a day as I switch between my computer and laptop which is annoying, atleast for me. This is the last thing I would consider "seamless" or improvement to the UX of the app.

Are you playing on the browser at the same time?

Not simultaneously but I have FS open on my computer most of the time 

Hi there!

 

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear this. Can you ensure that you're not playing the desktop version and the app at the same time? I have passed your concerns onto the developers, anyhow! 

Thank you Zue but this is probably a solution for me to not experince this HUD Sync error message not a solution to the problem itself. 

What I would like is to be able to "switch seamlessly between your browser and mobile devices for an effortless cross-platform experience" as per the description of the app on the app stores as well as the email sent out today.

You forgot to mention it's easier and quicker to chat/communicate with guild members in guild chat, which would make abusing arena much faster than communicating and coordinating with people via emails/personal messages in game/discord.

You are clearly making assumptions about things you don't use, please do your research.

The ability to communicate with people on discord is 100x better and faster than the text dump called "guild chat".

I do everything possible, we have the same medal, and guess who will never reach 4k loyalt

 Thank you for the gold purchase option on the Global Booster potion!

100% agree with EpicPiety,

If I may be blunt, you guys don't play FallenSword to understand what the players want, and nor do you survey/focus group your ideas. The world map is not the "center" of Fallensword. So much of the game is just waiting for stamina, even the new players get 2k-3k stamina from doing the early quests which means waiting for 24 hrs before you "hunt", there is so much to the game but you have nested it all under unlabeled icons. If you want to improve retention, show players there is more to do in the game than just waiting for stamina.

Amazing improvement on login/loading time!

Looking forward to the day the HUD Sync system is removed, which I believe kami confirmed on discord so I can drop a 5 star rating.

Great work team!

As the new king of the hill

Thank you so much for the effort you have put into this thread!

I would like to propose Relic Defender be changed to reduce the relic penalty instead ? That would keep the buff accurate to its name and the buff isn't dependent on another buff i.e. in your iteration Relic Defender does nothing if the other person doesn't use Reign of terror.

Context: There is a relic penalty for holding more than 1 relic in the game, as there maybe 200 active guilds left in the game - most guilds hold 2-4 relics. Changing this to reduce the penalty will give more incentive for guilds to try and defend relics instead of swapping back and forth.

Relic Defender: 0.05% per point reduction in relic penalty. ( Lead defender only) ( Relic Comat only)

Do you think increasing the duration of this skill could add extra value to its usage? 30 minutes doesn't really cover much, especially when it's up in the air whether a Relic is going to be attacked or not.

If you are going to keep buff as is do you think you can have it use the same duration as nightmare visage? Both are buffs intended for long term offline protection.

As for Galvanize, we wanted to try something a bit more experimental. A buff that could work in conjunction with another when it activates. However, we do see how fiddly this could be and how Healer itself has, in its current availability, little chance to activate. Now, I would like to clarify how Galvanize actually works:

Galvanize, when activated, increases the combats max Hit Points using the player's base HP attribute. It will not, in its current form, be further boosted by the likes of Fortitude and Severe Condition. 

I would be interested if the ratios on this are high, I believe if you survey the players maybe 1 in 100 have any substantial points allocated to base HP.

@Arioche

After discussing potential changes for PvP ladder with BigGrim on the HCS discord, I was inspired by how strongly BG feels about offline players being unable defend themselves.

Name Reception

Skill 0.1% per point chance of activating a potion sent to the player

Context Players who are offline are limited to the buffs others can cast on them which are always going to be limited to 175 + Buff enchancer bonus. With this buff, allies and guild members can choose to send a potion to the player to help them defend on the ladder, bounty board and in guild vs guild conflicts. 

At level 203 this will mean a 1 in 5 chance of a potion being activated, so if this buff was live, people will send 4-5 Zombie Brews to someone followed by 4-5 pride followed by whatever tradeable potions they will to send. Obviously with guild tagged potions people can keep trying over and over using the recall function without having to wait for the player to come online and return the excess potions.

This buff does have potential for abuse however we are allowed to block buffs from being casted on ourselves so this will either be blocked or be paired with the guild and allies "blocking level" to prevent others from sending unwanted potions but allowing trades from guild members.

  So your idea is to keep sending and recalling until something sticks?  I have a better idea to make it really meaningful.  You can send them whatever tradeable potions you want and hope they activate but the ones that don't are destroyed.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of continually sending them the same potions repeatedly until you get the result you want - no risk and all reward.

It did cross my mind, however if there is a high chance of losing a potion I don't see people using the buff outside of high profile GvGs. The drawback that would exist in my iteration is that outside of tagged potions it can be costly - if I want to guarantee the activation of a buff from a donation pot I will need to open 4-5 of them and I will be stuck with them unable to switch to a different pot option from the container.

Definetly do change the stats from +10 stat > 2% stat. 10 stats does not make a difference at any level.
 

2% of each stat is not worth 50,000 stamina hours.

If there are concerns about 10% being too strong, I would rather have it changed so guilds can only get 1 of the stat boosting achievement.

That's really odd. Only Stalwart is "Raged" for me. But Conix has confirmed he sees the same as you. So why is it displaying differently for different players... And yeah, same for us. Displaying correctly on Profile but no the map.

 

It's not browser based, nor is it Tampermonkey/FSHelper. Changing theme didn't alter the results for Conix either. This is really weird.

Love to see you guys testing and providing feedback to the community! Thanks BG.

 

Hi everyone!

 

We have just updated the game to v3.8.3.

 

This update adds the following changes:

- Relentless, Guild Berserker, Avenger, Aegis Shield and Allied Frenzy durations have been increased by 30 minutes.

- Healer duration has been increased by 1 hour.

- Fixed an issue with the Gambler skill activation chance.

- New buff icons now display correctly on world map page

 

Thank you for your feedback on the most recent update. We hope these changes further improve your enjoyment of Fallen Sword.

 

~The Fallen Sword Team.

 

Fastest update in the last 5 years I think? Conix for dev of the year!

Like all the ideas, if I had to pick one-  Definitely the ladder system integrated to GvG. Reset every couple months with rewards to maintain activity and competition.

 

2- Prevent any recruitment during a GVG (use your members to defend yourself)

 

Disagree with preventing new members from GvGing - It sounds like you don't want all of your members to defend themselves.

A new guild member can only attack the targets in your guild who "should be be prepared" for GvGs.

Instead of restricting gameplay for players, you should focus on improving your GvG strategy and planning skills  

Not what is happening in this suggestion. Just stopping Guild Hopping from happening in the same way other Guild activities have a 7 day start up wait for new members.

 

~ Grim

However in Titan hunting you are still allowed to hunt "personal" titans.

How would this work, are you not allowed to GvG at all ? are you a target for guilds to attack while you cannot attack back?

I can see guilds having their members leave every 6 days to keep them un-targetable during GvGs which ruins the competitive integrity of a guild vs guild.
