Hi All,

 

At one point in time there was a roadmap in which HCS was following. However, I think the roadmap is out-dated, and too "scatter-brained" for lack of a better word. My suggestion would be to run a new poll to get a view of where the vast majority of players want HCS to direct their attention to. Granted, everyone wants HCS to look at each area of the game at the same time, and we know that it's not possible. 

 

I say we start with a simple segmented poll done by HCS based on where players want attention paid to. An example would be something like, "We, at HCS, value our players opinions. This is why we are asking you where our attention should be placed. While we still will continue to work on adding new content, we would like to improve the game, and that's where we would like to spend time. Below are the segments in which we would like to improve upon, and we want to know what your thought is based on your #1 desire to be re-vamped. 

 

Options:

 

PVP

Arena

GVG

Bounty Board

Titan Hunting

Composing

Scavenging

Inventing

 

I say it's better to segment items, and see where people want. However, we don't want to look into too many options, otherwise, you'll never get the response you are looking for. Based on the polls, then take the top 1-3 items, and start threads on those items looking for ideas.

 

I would like to say that it would be best to start the thread with the "Current View", and then let us know what you would like to do. People will be able to then start giving ideas (whether good or bad), and then you will be able to take the reigns from there and come up with a game-plan. As asked for in the past, take that game-plan and give us the heads-up so we can help show any flaws or kinks on the vision, and let the players help refine the vision. 

 

Thoughts?

Please, We need a new roadmap...Hoof this would be beneficial as everyone's making threads on suggestions. Why not filter through them and vote through them again no? Create a thread to suggest things? We like to knows whats to come and what to look forward to when.

 

In order of concern:

 

GvG ~ Already a thread on it pull ideas from there "https://forums.hunte...on-discussion/"

 

Inventing ~ BG talked about nerfing omacraz...New recipes of some sort maybe?

 

Titan Hunting ~ Recipes/upgrading epics were mentioned to solve the problem with the epic market. Potentially nerfing or removing CD due to dwindling TH population? Potential new titans? new seasonals? Nerfing Titan doubler to 2x opposed to 4x? https://forums.hunte...-titan-doubler/

 

Composing ~ Double xp weekends? Every weekend? On occasion? Extra slots to compose. Raising composing cap?

 

Scavenging ~ Upgrade for a scavenging backpack that will have 5000 slots. This will help with having to throw out 80% of what yous scavenge.

 

Arena ~ Hoof mentioned bringing back gold arena/items "https://forums.hunte...e-suggestions/"Potentially new upgraded potions to be given away like the old arena. The Old pots can be obtained from token shop. 

 

PvP/Bounty Board ~ Just throw them "better" rewards

 

Relics ~ New stam gain relics?!? Xp gain relics?!?!

 

Old Roadmap ~ https://forums.hunte...september-2014/

I always wondered how many ressources it takes to put the above into work. Ive seen players/modders write more complex websites/functions and even do their own good looking models in 3d in a half of a year of time.

Now Im not saying they are completely slacking, as some updates are happening and EOC is getting raised ever so often. But clearly it seemed that the more complex matters like the mentioned above, either had no viable solution or no proper workforce to set those things in motion.

 

How hard is it to implement Guild conflict Structure? Or adding medals and new unique items to GvG? You dont even alter the game mechanics with this. I just hope were not reaching out to the end of life cycle of this game. Cuz that would be really really sadthing to happen.

I think they were on the right track focusing on mobile but I think the recent disasters derailed their progress. As belaric mentioned, the new but abandoned pvp system seemed designed for mobile use but now it's back to the drawing board.

The other problem is we, the community, start getting uptight and upset when all the target dates are missed on any roadmap.

I for one think they should dedicate work on fixing the biggest broken things than focus on mobile app. What's broken? I think arena and gvg. I think pvp should be left alone for a bit since everyone voted the old system is better.

Hopefully once those are "fixed" or at least working again, get the app done and hopefully we pull in new players. Then we start working on the other aspects that aren't show stoppers.

My 3 cents

Our main focus right now is getting the mobile / tablet version of the game ready for beta testing (note we're also aiming to launch a PC / Mac client of it on Steam by setting up a Greenlight for it).

 

This is taking up a lot of our time as it's a pretty major development, but we're also looking at other improvements that can be implemented in the meantime as well. For example, today we're aiming at increasing the cast limit on the buff market and re-introducing PvP Arenas that have gold as a prize

 

I agree that the roadmap does need reviewed however and I'll take a look at it soon

Good to know
