I just returned to the game after about a 6 month hiatus. What did i find when i came back? 

 

The servers are still very sketchy, was experiencing up to 30 second load times for switching screens.

 

I have to buy items such as hefflewart and trinettle one at a time? Come on seriously in a game where the clock ticks on buffs you are not going to enable a "how many do you want to buy" button?

 

The new and added features since i have left have no explanation.

 

How do i post buffs for sale in the buff market? What is composing? (I already know this but new players might not).

 

The PvP ladder has still not been updated in anyway.(same old stuff after 6 months)

 

Still no incentive for GvG other than the same old items used when i quit playing. 

 

BUT it isn't all bad i guess, you finally gave out guild medals..........still nothing done with Karma that i can see. Ok, so it is all bad. No corrections, no worthwhile additions, none of the broken features fixed.

Sorry to hear you are disappointed, however there have been many new features and improvements to the game in the last 6 months as can be seen on the Development Roadmap.

 

If you have any questions about the newer features (Composing & Buff Market), I'd be more than happy to answer them for you :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but learning how to compose and use the buff market is on the tutorial for the new players. And if it isn't, I suggest that those two things should be added to help out those newer players.

Could we have a HCS Forum that lists and explains new features in the game like:
 

- Composing

- Buff Market

- Global Events

- New Medals

- Etc

Right now you have to dig for information and its always amazing to me the number of players who are even active who don't understand how features work.  Just the other day I had a player say they never use the Buff Market, because they couldn't find L175 buffs - a simple, quick explanation and they're now happy as a clam.  

These are not covered in the Official Guide.  Right now the best information on Composing is on the Wiki, thus the forum could be very brief note of the concept and then a link to the Wiki.

Not sure it might be good to lock these forums to only HCS staff with one open spot for people to ask questions, as when there's a lot of dialogue it can be distracting and each explanation could just encourage folks to seek other means for more detailed help.

The explanations really don't have to be elaborate.  I know I'm wordy, but I'd be happy to help with drafts and I'm sure I could find a few more players willing to help if that was of any help.

Not sure about the other portions you mentioned but have you seen the wiki for composing? Kudos to whomever wrote it. Not sure a forum or even the USFG could do what that wiki does

To be honest, I think we should re poll the roadmap items not being worked on yet to reflect current user interest. There have been a number of new features proposed since the roadmap was started that are very popular and not part of the roadmap.

 

I do wish to ask if a reopening of the discussion of items not yet began on the roadmap to review what players would like implemented could be done. As there are some items further down the list that are now almost entirely more popular now to see done than they were about a year ago.

 

Edit: With any sort of luck, they might be things the php codes easier than what is on the queue, lol.

Are you active? Enjoy playing FS for fun and striving for lofty goals? Looking to join a guild that invests in itself and seeks to improve and grow in all aspects of the game?

 

Secret Alliance can be your home in FS! We are looking for active, motivated and driven players who have a passion and genuine enjoyment of FS to join us as we continue to rise towards the TOP! If interested feel free to send me a PM.

 

SA is also looking for one or two guild mergers INTO SA. Feel free to ask for details.

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 ...

As Pardoux has pointed out, we have already said no to this and explained why.
