Hey Everyone I love Fallensword. I've been playing this game for a long time now. I am not on a personal computer. I am on my phone. Recently my brother joined too. My brother and I both loved this game from when we were much younger, in elementary and middle school. We always wanted to play fallensword but doing on a phone was virtually impossible. Now that the app came out. I can play the game mixing Google Chrome and the app. I still don't have a personal computer to play it on but I have a fast powerful phone (Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra) that doesn't lag on me when playing the game. My brother does too. We Recently got back to the game cause we saw that the app was somewhat functional with Google Chromes help. To play the full game as intended. This time, when returning to fallensword years after I discovered it, I have linked it to my Google account and am now able to play the game and also buy fsps with dollars through the Google play store. I would love to see great progress on the app. To open up fallensword to the masses. I would love for Hunted Cow Studios to start advertising the game through different platforms to increase awareness and to bring in new crowds of players that are looking for a wonderful game to play.

It would be great to have more new players.  I see tons of ads just on FB for many games, and I watch videos on many games to earn things.... I've seen many ads for Warhammer, and even a few for New Earth, but never one for FS.  

 

I realize that our app is far from finished, but new players are finding it in the PlayStore, we see them every day....  Just think of how many more we could have with a little strategic advertising on some of those ad-driven games that seem to be so popular now.

if not fs alone, then advertise hunted cow games.

maybe?

The early game experience is subpar or even worse. Do not recommend doing anything before giving that some MAJOR attention.

Agreed. I have taken on may noobs and what happens so often is they do the epic quest lines, start the grind, and quit. I've kind of given up on recruiting now, though I have another returning player who has just hit the level 31 wall. I think the epic quest lines should run to at least level 1000 and fast track players through those levels in an entertaining and involving way.

 

I'm all for storylines etc. that honour the game and the great characters that were a huge part of the early experience when it was all new. I once started to look at how to use existing content and characters and enhance them with  an epic quest line that would make the game more fun and more satisfying - to have the characters actively fighting the shadow and its agents from level 1 to 950 and Karthak. I stopped because I realized it was a gigantic waste of my time, and since then we have gained thousands of new levels of generic content with the occasional call back to Morbidstein or Xinderoth thrown in.

 

Anyway, yes, I agree the early game experience needs attention. The level layout has been streamlined once, could do with being streamlined again, the tutorials and in game help for new players could be enhanced, and, in my opinion, the epic quests, that new players love and get engaged with, should not end so soon. I do believe we need to powerlevel people through to the 1000's+ This will help to solve some of the dead space between 1000 and 5000 where PvP is so hard because there is nobody physically there, and once someone has gained 1000+ levels in the game they will be way more invested (and so less likely to leave) than they are at level 32-50, when I see so many quit, and if they don't quit then, they get to the early 100s and crap out there. It is a huge issue.

There are a cluster of creatures from level 1 to 100. Why are there so many different levels spread across these maps? Can they be reduced to one per map so a new player doesn't get confused and lost on what map they need to go after each level? it's been years since I started playing the game and I still remember being lost and trying to figure out what I was doing wrong or why I'm gaining so little XP fighting creatures at my level of the map. I finally figured out I was fighting creatures 3-5 levels below the current map level. There are simple ways to fix this, but I don't know if its worth it at this point of the game.

 

SNOW FOREST NORTH (Min Level: 15)

level 10 and 19 creatures

 

ELVEN HIDEOUT (Min Level: 30)

level 28 and 30 creatures

 

CELESTIAL FOREST (SOUTH) (Min Level: 40)

level 37 and 40 creatures

was hoping the FS app beta was gonna be with new characters.. would give devs more of an insight on the "new player" experience and would make players fully use the app for everything they want to do with that character..

as an established player, I use the app for hunting and for nothing else because it's such a drastic change with the UI.. and I'm old, lazy, and scared of change.. and that's hurt my testing of the app.. sorry cows haha
