So to summarize this latest update fiasco.....GvG has needed updating for quite some time. Many players have spent their time, energy and effort providing ways and methods to be able to create a revitalized way to compete in conflicts and make it more interesting, fair, competitive, and enjoyable for players with rewards that can reflect what it actually takes for a guild to be good at guild conflicts and not just farm RP from unsuspecting guilds.
Instead of any of this being implemented, we get level range changes and an hour delay to start a conflict. That's it. Nothing more nothing less.
Oh wait, we did get nothing less, because the level ranges that are now currently advertised on the guild conflict page aren't even accurate. In fact, they are still the old ranges before the update. Now hopefully HCS knows this already but instead of communicating their mistake to the players, we get this instead:
The in-game value ought to be correct. The new range should always be xx1.

Well BigGrim, they are not correct. They haven't been correct since you updated everyone saying they are correct. And in the attempt to make this update, it appears other aspects of the game have now been broken. How do I know this? Easy, it was indicated in Code Update! v3.16 where 6 other aspects of the game were fixed but not the GvG level ranges. These fixes I noticed included fixing returning player codes. Now this is personally upsetting to me because almost a year ago, Kittles and I wrote multiple tickets about the codes not working and get absolutely ridiculous responses from a developer named Kitkat telling me that investigations are being done and they will get back to me as soon as the issue is resolved, also closing my tickets without resolutions because they "clog" up their inbox. "This ticket has been closed and locked by support." What a joke as I was just trying to inform them of a broken game aspect. BTW, Kittles, who was a long time player who actually thought about playing with us again, decided not to because he immediately recognized that nothing has changed with this game or this company.
Anyway, the final statement on the Code Update! v3.16 says "Other reported issues are still being investigated, so please remain patient.
~ The Fallen Sword Team" Now I can only assume that perhaps the "other reported issues" are that the GVG level ranges are not accurate and that players should be told to hold off on relying on them until some "further investigations" can be done? But we don't even get the common courtesy of that information. So sorry for the players/guilds who have initiated conflicts only to realize they can't even complete the hits because of the incorrect level ranges.
Instead, we get a 96 hour opportunity to donate money to the game and receive a Glorious Opalescent Chest.
Now perhaps HCS needs those donations in order to update and fix their game properly and to provide relevant information to the remaining player base when it isn't working properly. But in the words of Dikembe Mutombo, "Not Today!"
Instead, let's all continue to "remain patient" because why not? Our patience has lasted for years and years already, what's a few more.
RIP Ryebred and many others.
