I've gotten a few full stam notifications, but nothing else.  I'd love to get one about my pots.....

Thanks for noticing that, notifications are not in the game yet. Only stamina notifications are in for now. Notifications will be implemented in a future release.

You mean like a "test server"? Or that "new server" where everybody starts over with rats....

 

 

I do believe that it's been stated FS won't ever be a "multi server" type game where you can have alts all over the place... Remember, alts are forbidden by order of Hoof....

 

IMHO, the FS population is much too small to need multiple servers of the same people playing on separate characters.  That kind of thing is a nightmare for Gacha games anyway,  the whales and credit card cowboys from Server 1 always run rampant and plague the actual new players on subsequent servers.  

 

It would also serve to widen the gap from Guest#thingy to EoC.  This is not conducive to the overall health of the game or the community.

Hoping the mobile stam notification gets programmed back into the regular game. Please don't forget about us.

Hi Qloak,

 

This is yet to be reported but I'm afraid I cannot reproduce this issue. What potion are you trying to brew (Buffs, Level, Duration)? I can try creating the same potion and hopefully see the same issue you are.

 

Thanks,

Conix

*

40 Light foot

14 adept learner

is 1 hr on page, but in app it says 3+ hr but after 1 hour I can collect it. (time is buged)

 

 

*

Second major bug I found is that player reset is at 150FSP and after purchase, the price stays the same, but on the homepage the price has gone up.

 

 

*

Third is that the app lacks a  "refresh" button, I have to close to app go back to it to load, for instance buffs dont update, ladder dont update, and much more just wont refresh.

 

 

*

FSP market is missing "sell orders" Or I might be stupid

 

Edit:

*

After combat message it only says you lost or that won, you cant go back to rewatch the duel.

 

Many of this might be coming next I dont really know, I have not kept eye on update, just updating the errors I found in the 2 days of playing with the app.

 

I will continue using it and update you.

How is a new server same as having alts? You are not suppose to have alts on the same server because of what you can achive and abuse.

 

I understand your issue, people spent thousasnds of dollars into the game and kept it going for so long but i FEAR how new players leave the game before they even start. Ranking matters for people, a catch up mechanic matters, and fallensword is not built that way.

 

Heres a scenario of a new player

 

Finds this cool game

Creates a new account

Start playing

Noticing chat

#RandomName Level:4111 says: "Hi guys"

And thats where u lost your new player.

 

 

The major problem is how much stuff you guys managed to collect (hoard) and how invaluable everything is in the game at the moment for a new player. There wont be a challange, a feel for achiving anything, everything will be lent out, best gear all the way to the end game, every buff every hunt at no cost. I am sorry to say but there is not much value left in anything for a new player besides "levling".

 

Levling for what? You wont ever catch up to the top players anyway.

 

I know many of you will disagree, and change is often not a welcome addition into a loved game, but I fear this is the truth.

 

EDIT

Just let people have a choice, have 2 servers, a fresh one and the old one and see how it progress.

What exactly is everybody catching up to?  Everybody is on a level playing field here, the only person you are actually competing with is yourself.  There are many facets to FS that don't involve leveling at all....  Whether you participate in one or all facets is entirely up to you.  

 

I will repeat myself here, Qloak, the subject of "new" servers has been rejected by the Cows in the past, I don't foresee that changing.

I mean no harm but you can do better, this reply truely is nothing new from you. Give solution to the problem, I mean there must be a reason most new players leave within a week or two and that items has lost most of its value and upgrading your character as a new player is not a challanging or exciting experience.

I dont really care about what they said in the past, I see a problem I help to solve it, your solution to the problem is what was said a decade ago.

 

You suggest that we keep the same community and hope they dont get bored and leave anytime soon, I am no expert but your suggestion suggest further decline in the actual playerbase as it stands now.

No matter what game I play (and I play a bunch) only a small percentage of new players show up again after that first day.  This includes games where they add new servers for the "new" players.  I truly don't believe that adding 1 or a dozen servers for new players could be any better here than it is on those other games, which don't have safeguards in place such as level range restrictions for PvP, or helpful veterans in the community glad to lend a hand when needed as well as giving space for each individual to grow at their own pace.  

 

Even when FS was young, most new players rarely returned after their first day, and of those that did, a large number of them soon left for "better games"  This is fine, if FS is not their cup of tea, then it's right for them to move on to something that is.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

However, I have said enough on this subject, which doesn't belong in this thread in the first place.  I'm sure BG will delete our entire conversation since it has gone far off topic.  My deepest apologies to the app team and BG for being a participant thereof ........

There's more chance of  COVID-19 disappearing overnight without trace than multiple game servers (as in ones for newbies to start out on) being introduced....


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

Hi All,

 

I know the subject of a new server is a split one and there are good arguments to be made on both sides. We have visited this topic as a team on a number of occasions and will probably visit it again a few more times in the future, but at this point we do not believe a new server will be advantageous. We know this is not the decision that some of you are hoping for, but we hope you all respect it and continue to enjoy Fallen Sword for the game it is.

Hi Qloak,

 

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I have now looked into these things for you.

 

40 Light foot

14 adept learner

is 1 hr on page, but in app it says 3+ hr but after 1 hour I can collect it. (time is buged)

 

I tried creating a potion with the buffs you provided and also tried creating them with different potion duration's and am still failing to see any inconsistency's between the app and the browser... Would you be able to provide me a screenshot of both? Might be able to see whats going on from that.

 

Second major bug I found is that player reset is at 150FSP and after purchase, the price stays the same, but on the homepage the price has gone up.

 

Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like this is a display issue and the text is not updating on the purchase of player resets. This should be fixed in the next update. :)

 

Third is that the app lacks a  "refresh" button, I have to close to app go back to it to load, for instance buffs dont update, ladder dont update, and much more just wont refresh.

 

We do have a refresh system in place but it is not yet implemented on every panel, If you pull down from the top of any page (if implemented) then the content will refresh. This however is not set up on the ladder or the buff panel yet, but for the most part it should be accessible. We will aim to have these implemented game wide for the next update.

 

FSP market is missing "sell orders" Or I might be stupid

 

Dont worry, you are not being stupid. This has yet to be implemented but will aim to have it done for the next update :)

 

After combat message it only says you lost or that won, you cant go back to rewatch the duel.

 

The current log system in the app needs some work. We have plans on how to do this but havent yet got round to doing so yet. Im not entirely sure if it will be in the next update, but we are hoping to get it to you soon.

 

Thank you for the app feed back and for testing these areas for us. We really appreciate the help! 

 

Conix :)
