#944517 Constructive criticism

Posted by Kedyn on 11 August 2015 - 21:11

My personal vote, in the end, was "sometimes". 

 

I know I've had talks and discussions during updates, or discussing updates with Mojawk, Grim and Hoof. They have responded to me, and I feel like there was an open discussion, where the opinions mattered, and it may have had some affect on their views. I don't think it would stop anything that they had intended, which is fine, but I think it gave them a different perspective than the way they were viewing. That's all I could ask - I was giving constructive feedback, and they had responded in a respectful way.

 

More recently, my answer could have shifted to no. There are 2 warning points on my profile, and about 5-10 thoughtful and constructive replies about PVP seasons that were deleted and moderated. The comments on the reasoning were not very clear, and I had to disagree. When I inquired about them, I didn't get a response. Personally, I don't think there was any flaming, or any violation of rules outside of disagreeing with the system and giving them honest constructive feedback. There was a short time where my initial reaction was to walk away, but figured I'd stick it out for the friends I have made here, and to try to help improve the game for all. 




#944273 PvP Seasons & Bounty Board - Poll Results

Posted by Nappeh on 10 August 2015 - 22:02

Then work out on pvp ladder... new currency and add new rewards

So, because you don't have many tokens, ad a new currency to stick it to the players who were promised no less by the admins that new gear to invent and new potions were forthcoming.  Stop taking away from players just because perhaps you won't benefit.  A promise was a promise and those who were expecting it should not get the shaft.  We keep taking away from people and we wonder why people keep on leaving the game.  You had the opportunity to have stayed opted in the ladder and banked all your tokens too as a result of the Cows announcing new gear and potions. STOP the arbitrary taking away of things from people in this game.  Have a culture of adding to the game and stop taking things away.  An update or improvement should benefit everybody, not at the expense of anybody.  A promise is a proimise and it should be honored.

#943886 Community Poll - PvP Seasons & Bounty Board

Posted by Spider0007 on 09 August 2015 - 03:23

I just have to laugh at who is doing all the complaining...Yep those that have been riding a DEAD ladder. Maybe if you actually tried to get through this you might see some fun in it. 

 

If cows bring back the ladder and  give out these prizes does anyone think the complaining will stop...???

You haven't hit once since you've entered the titan league and this is supposed to be you having fun and participating in the "FUN" pvp system? I'm sure. lol




#943473 Community Poll - PvP Seasons & Bounty Board

Posted by KitiaraLi on 05 August 2015 - 06:12

I'll recap what I already posted b4 (in the old thread):
 

Again I'll go positive notes first;
I do like that losing an bounty attack now equals xp loss. About bloody time, and better reflects what is going on in combat - and adds more risk to bounty hunting.

I do like the thought of this adding more PvP activity to the game, and so far that part worked. I do like the auto-posting of bounties as it adds life to the board. It has some issues though, but those I will address below.
I also like my log being spammed with attacks while I am offline, as I do njoy ppl PvPing. As the auto-posting aspect, I have issues with this, I'll address below.

 

1: Where did xp loss go in the PvP season? You have created the soft PvP arena, so many non-pvp'ers have asked for in years, each time shut down with "PvP is about risk, and there is no risk if no XP loss" .. now you have given ppl an opt-out (yet again) from pillow fighting  :wacko:  Bring back xp loss, thank you. And no, "but more will partake if there is no risk" is not a valid argument.

 

2. Care to explain how the bounty posting system works - as in with details? I got posted for a total value around 1.6 mill, after having stolen approx 2K and having one wee bebe adding in 100K to the pot. I find the numbers not adding up to the previous explanations on this part of the system. And yes, I have seen the "here is how we somewhat think it works like" posts by staff members - none of 'em actually able to go into details.

 

3. How come conserve doesn't apply to xp loss on bounties anymore? If I wanna be nice, and use conserve to not plow ppl into the dirt on bounties, that should be my choice. I do not care for the "it was an exploit/bug which we have now fixed" answer. IF this was not meant to be, it would have been simple to change years ago. It is my stam, it is me doing the bounty, and I should be able to decide how I do it !

 

4. How come I have to click like a million times, just to clear bounties? Each hit I do, sends me back the main screen under Fight Players, aka the PvP season screen. Then click again to get back to bounty board, scroll for target, repeat. Have you tested this while trying to clear more than one bounty at a time? Poorly scripted to say the least.

 

5. Why put the extra strain on the already overwhelmed servers with the slotsmachine like avatar spin, while the code selects an opponent on the PvP season screen? Looks silly, and just makes everything last longer. And if you truly believe it does not strain the servers, know that it does put a strain on my patience.

 

6. Could you add the option, to go directly to next target after having performed a hit in PvP season? As in, instead of having to go back to main screen, click find opponent etc? Make it simple, smooth and with less clicking around.

 

7. I still do not, and will never understand why, I cannot select to post an bounty at a time of my choosing. To me it seems, like you really have no idea how PvP worked b4 this update, and how your players played the game. Sure I can toss in a bunch of gold, to try and get the system to post when I want.. but I really do not have a say in it. Gimme back the option to post, whenever the frack I want.

 

8. If you want this to somehow reflect just a little bit who does PvP, and who has at least some skills, add a small code where inactivity for .. say 2 hours, automatically makes you void as a target for the PvP season. It can be abused for sure, but the way it is now, I bet a bunch of players feel abused already, and without a chance to defend 'emselves when going to work, sleeping, having a life away from screen etc. Right now, this system (like the ladder did) reflects who has hit most offline targets.

8a. Also, remove all rewards for partaking in the PvP season, and bring back prestige as the only reward, apart from gold earnings and PvP related medal ticks.

 

9. Defending on the board. Should I happen to be online when the system decides to post me (based on a mysterious, few-can-figure-out and apparently no-one can explain, formula) I would under normal circumstances (b4 this update) most likely defend myself on my bounty. I'd have several tabs open in my browser with my own stats, my opponents stats, a page for quick buff changes etc. My attacker(bounty hunter) would in 99% of the time decide to take on the challenge, and we would "dance" till my bounty was either cleared, or the bounty hunter decided she/he took on a too high lvl target (yes, that did happen more than you'd think). Paying the sometimes high bounty ticket prize (if the target was lower lvl) was an incentive to keep going at it + there was a way of behaving while bounty hunting. It resulted in a somewhat intimate aspect of the game, where a target and a hunter battled for life and death, usually while chatting to each other, due to the 2 min. waiting in between hits (one of the reasons as to why we called it "dancing").

This new system, does not in any way, shape or form come close. The board is now a, where too many clicks to perform attacks are making the whole thing cold and sterile, and where it has no "cost" to simply skip hitting on a hard-to-clear target, and let the bounty hang till the player goes offline, and buffs wear off.
I urge you (HCS) to look into how the UI on the bounty board is designed, and how to accept a bounty. You can have ideas as to how you think it can be, and I as a user of it, can tell you how I experience it - and wish that you'd start seeing the difference between your incentive behind a game feature, and how it actually is.

I could do the same rant for taking on bounties, since the same apply the other way around.

 

10. The stam cost of all PvP. I cannot remember how much stam, or gain you start out with in this game, so sadly I cannot hand out the math for you (someone with a better memory around?). The gain can be upped via joining a guild with Endurance shrine and completing the epic quests. There may be more free upgrades, but not as I recall right now. So, you'd need to invest $$$ into the game or work like a crazy to gain enough FSP to make upgrades, buy epics etc etc. As a lower lvl player/new player - this is not as easy as we sometimes try to make it sound.

If I am a new player, who have found a way to establish myself an income in game, having 70-90 stam gain per hour, and a max stam bank around 2500-4500 seems about right (again, the numbers may be off due to poor memory) - so, how many hits can I perform? I gain less than 2 hits per hour. Can I level, titan hunt, do globals, etc, if I'd like to try PvP? If we're rude and go "make a choice, you cannot do all" - we not only go against what we have always said about the game (you can play all aspects, and you should to fully understand/appreciate it), how big is my chance to compete?
I got everything knocked outta me while being offline - and heyho, I have good gear, am high level, had a big stam bank to perform a big pile of hits in the season... and atm I have nothing to show for it (bronze league, and I was crystal), simply because I have a life away from screen. So you think this part of the game is still for all players - new and old?

 

11. The opt-out. If enough ppl decide to opt-out ... can I risk being locked in the wooden tier, simply because I have no targets to hit? Can I be stuck with 2-3 others, and just have to violate their logs to raise myself up a tier?

 

12. It is not fair for a lvl 1K player, having to compete in a league with lvl 2600+ players. The lvl 1K may be a good PvPer, but will simply be overrun by stats on gear and buff power. I attacked a lvl 1200 player yesterday - I was buffed normally, he was using a global pot (ruby chest, lotsa fire power)... I still won. Highly unfair for him.

 

13. Next time you go around completely ripping an aspect of the game into pieces, and trying to make it into something new; How about you listen to the feedback of those, who actually play that aspect of the game? Most of the above was said b4 this update ever hit the game.. numerous times.




#943244 Community Poll - PvP Seasons & Bounty Board

Posted by yotekiller on 03 August 2015 - 23:31

Great to see a poll but I fear it's too little, too late. Had this poll run before the release of Seasons with full details or 24 hours after the release I think it's pretty obvious what the results would be. Now you've made so many quick changes to the system in order to cater to the pvp haters and low/no risk pvp'ers I honestly don't know how it will turn out.
The pvp haters were given an opt out so why should they vote against the new system? The low/no risk pvp'ers were given a glorified arena with no xp loss, guaranteed rewards, smasher ticks and dominance medals. Why would they vote against the new system?
I am frustrated to say the least. We asked for details and input on the new system and were denied outright. Players that enjoy all aspects of the game have already left and many of those will never return, regardless of what is done with the new system at this point.
I will hang on for just a bit more but sadly enough, my time here is dependent upon the results of this poll and what is done with them. This is no longer the game I have loved to play for so many years and now that my friends are leaving, the social aspect is fading fast too.

LOL, hmm, lets see now how many participated in that old ladder sytem, really???

well i have a dominance medal, and you have a dominance medal.......i guess thats at least 2......I was on the ladder all the time and so were several players iv gotten to know from there, and i NEVER ONCE let anyone take first place under some sort of agreement, nor did i get mine by by anyone letting me get it. You can ask anyone who has been on the ladder with me, i hit, and i hit often, and if you take first place you earned it in my bracket

Only posts that don't provide any constructive feedback or are off-topic are removed. Also if someone you know has an issue with their game account can you please ask them to submit a support ticket and we can look into it for them.

 

Absolute hog was, i only coment on PvP threads cause its all i care about, and i HAVE had my posts deleated (BY YOU) for simply disagreeing with your dedicated course of action. Apparently off-topic also means not in agreeance with BG.

 

And you can threaton to ban me if youd like but why would i care, youve already ruined the game, im just here now for my guild members who are staying to buff and make pots. I WILL NEVER spend another dime on this game or complete offers again.

#942607 PvP Seasons Rewards. Thoughts and desires please.

Posted by Spider0007 on 31 July 2015 - 16:00

1. Is it a fair system when players who started using stam at the beginning were then bumped out by players using their stamina at the end?
 
2. Is it fair that I waited until the last day to participate and was able to take #7 because there simply wasn't time to be farmed by everyone else?
 
3. Is it fair that when you go to sleep or offline and buffs drop that 2-3 players can hit you 50-60 times in just a couple hours and completely destroy any effort you put into pvping?
 
4. Is it fair that players with huge stam banks are going to be "better" than players with small stam banks?
 
5. Is it fair that by particpating in a pvp system you are automatically going to be bountied? The bounty board is meant to be a "punishment". So by playing PvP you are going to be "punished".
 
6. I personally spent over 30K stamina this round. Do you think your potion rewards are a fair reward?  Should their even be a reward?
 
7. I burned twice the amount of stamina to earn my smasher ticks than I have to now. Fair?
 
8. No XP loss? We call this GvG, not PvP.
 
9. Does hitting a bounty really require 50 stam for a very small reward that appears to average about 5k gold. 50stam=5k gold? Can we get an adjustment in buying stamina then in the upgrades cost?
 
10. XP loss for bounty hunting? This simply promotes players always hitting easy and unbuffed targets rather than challenging themselves to hit higher level, difficulty players. Who wants to spend 50 stam for 5k gold against a tough player, then lose and lose xp for it.
 
11. Taking XP loss out of PvP and adding xp loss to bounty hunters losing seems backwards to me.

Posted by nadtan on 30 July 2015 - 21:17

Hi, so far i never reply on forum themes, just read it. But now i am a little frustrated.....one week trial? Ok, i reach top 10 just with mind to get in that titan league. Instead of EOC players with monstrouse ammount of stamina i participate all the time trying to keep my position with humble recourses i have in hand and thanks to help of my friends and guild mates. Now understand all my efforts to beat players 200-300 levels above me were for nothing.....yes, let make all those events with no rewards and people to play it for honor and joy from game.....Now i understand, why few legendary PVPers around decide do not participate on this theather....About rewards, i want to can turn my near 3k old system tokens in stamina, not sure will admins decide to do that for us, but i will not loose nothing if try to ask it. Good luck to everyone around, will not try to give any other sugestions here, because so far i don't have opinion low level players ever been heard here. As always just will follow the high level players and will try do not let them to have monopol on every aspekt of the game around. :)




#942479 PvP Season Update Completed

Posted by mary4ever on 30 July 2015 - 20:17

*TEST SERVER*
 
this was a HUGE update so it would have been better if this new system was tested FIRST before implemented it, those who said they were against it:
 
I work as a construction engineer, when we get a new project, for example to build a bridge then we have to build a model FIRST, then we do numerous tests (wind, pressure, gravitation, .........) + simulations BEFORE building the bridge !!!
 
the same thing is done to new designed cars:
the cars are not sold immediately after being designed, they have to go through numerous tests too BEFORE they are sold to us (customers)
 
saying that we do not need a test server (especially if it was a big update like this one) is like almost saying we do not need crash dummies for car tests tongue.png
 
a test server would have spared us a lot of trouble !!!
 
*GAME POLL*
 
in my opinion and from experience "polls" are very important !!!
most if not all of the changes or projects my company does are based on POLLS / profits / companies future (goals) ...
 
polls are important because you do not know what each and every person is thinking !!!
there are pvpers who like this system, there are pvpers who do not like this system, there are non-pvpers who like this system, there are pvpers who do not like this system
 
just because a player participated in the new system does not mean that he likes it and the opposit can be said too AND that is why a GAME POLL for such a big update is needed to know what the whole community thinks & wants !!!
 
*BOUNTY BOARD*
 
to be honest I have no idea why the BB was changed, we were told many times that only the PvP ladder would be replaced by a new system, nothing else !!!
 
officially the BB needed to change because of those "bullies"
btw I was called a "bully" too, for a 10 stam prestige hit & hitting on the BB
 
so by their logic I am a "bully" because I defended my guild mates & friends (pvpers & non-pvpers) BUT the new BB system who allows you to randomly smash players is considered OK???
IMO the players smashing on the new BB are the "bullies" because the players there did not take any player XP + they are smashing them for no decent reason !!!
 
I have never smashed anyone on the BB who has not in / directly harmed (smashed, ....) my guild mates or friends and I am not going to change that EVEN if the new BB system is "forcing" me now, I rather retire that be forced into it
 
why would someone want to smash random players on the BB???
worst thing is that the smashed player can not even post a bounty !!!
  • doing 10 bounty hits used to cost me 100 stamina (on a clear), now it would cost 500 stamina !! 5 times more !!
  • NEW SYSTEM: Bounty Master Bronze needs now 25.000 stamina (500 bounty hits x 50 stam = 25.000 stamina),
  • OLD SYSTEM: Bounty Master Bronze needed 5.000 stamina (500 bounty hits x 10 stam = 5.000 stamina)
I heard from many friends & players that they now got their Bronze Smasher Medal + (Bronze Bounty Hunter Medal), BB is now "risk free" smashing, they waited for them to be offline & with hardly any buffs then started smashing them
 
congrats to my non-pvper friends & the rest who got their PvP medals in the last few days, they will stop after getting both PvP medals so I think PvP activity on the BB will decline in time
 
*PvP SEASON*
 
like previously said, we were told that the new system (PvP Season) would replace the PvP ladder
I did not spend a single stam on the new system because not only does it have many flaws as many players mentioned in the forum, it is a huge stamina sink too !!!
furthermore it is far from the "PvP" I am used to play & enjoy for the last years !!!
 
*skip if you do not want to read marys pvp adventure* tongue.png
 
1st time I joined the pvp ladder I was against maehdros & kjeften, these 2 massacred me, one of the best PvPers & are well known !!!
until lvl 890-892 I had only been a pure leveler but was bored with the game (+HCS said they would introduce NEW ladder items) so I decided to join the 800 band and I liked it, I had a better understanding of the skills, I still got beaten there but with time I started to get better and better
I used to pay EOC players 1 fsp per 1 buff, especially from spudulike & andypearce, they made thousand of fsps from me over the years
I used to spend 150+ fsps per week only to buy buffs and was selling 1 helhearts item for 250+ fsps !!!
I stayed in the 800-899 band for about 2 years and there was never a day where I did not have any competition !!!
top3 were matetuer, rageanger & apedde: we were in different guilds and used to 100 stam each other, best time I have ever had smile.png
I skipped 2 xp events, lost hundreds of levels, spent thousands of fsps (to buy buffs, many pvp setups, stamina, ...) I the PvP ladder !!!
after 2 years I power leveled during the 3rd xp event (after skipping 2 xp events) into a higher band and stayed there for a few months because was hoping HCS would eventually release NEW ladder items like they promised BUT after 2,5 years it seemed hardly possible anymore sad.png
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
PvP back then used to be mainly about SKILL & you needed many different setups, that is why I ♥ PvP so much !!!
there were hardly any LUCKY skills (dispel curse, golden shield, high guard, invert, ....) or overpowered pots !!!
 
*FEEDBACK*
 
as stated before, I did not spend 1 single stamina on this new system that is just a huge stamina sink and I would not play this system as it currently is !!!
  • PvP Season is simply a huge stamina sink with many flaws (there are a ton of players in the forum talking about them from their experience), those with huge stam banks, EPIC / high composing pots, $$$ will get the highest ranks in the qualification round (think it was mentioned a week)
  • after the qualification round you will be in Leagues (wood, bronze, silver, gold, ....) and then huge stam banks, EPIC / high composing pots, $$$ + EOC (a lvl 200 going against a lvl 2600 is suicide which obviously is not fair) will get the highest "ranks"
  • on the PvP ladder you used to get from top to bottom (or from bottom to top) after a few successful wins, on the PvP Season it greatly depends on your stamina bank, the more stamina you have the better, your opponent might be better than you in PvP but if you have more stamina than him then you can do more successful hits than him so he could not pass you
  • OPT-IN / OUT: I am in favour of this option because I have many friends who are non-pvper and do not want to PvP in the future too, they do not care about PvP at all & I can understand them !!!
  • PvP Season should have XP LOSS (with a reduction in xp loss) !!! for gods sake we have an OPT-IN / OUT option so return XP LOSS to PvP like it has been since day 1 of Fallen Sword !!! otherwise it does not make any sense !!! NOBODY is forced to OPT-IN against his will, it is their decision !!!  why can the system bounty League attacks if there is NO XP LOSS ?????
  • bring back the option to 10 - "50" stam hit !!! why do we need to smash & use 50 stamina? 10 stamina would be enough + it should be OUR CHOICE if we want to 10 - "50" stam !!! this is PvP and not a huge stam sink !!! the more hits we can do with our stamina the more PvP activity we have and the longer we can enjoy it smile.png
  • Bounty Board is currently a joke as I have previously explained, bring back the OLD Bounty Board + keep that the attacker will lose XP too if he gets defeated (like it was years ago before it got changed)
  • I believe that the PvP ladder has more potential and is more fair than the PvP season, the PvP ladder has bands and players have almost access to the same setups so hardly any change in their setup stats unlike the PvP season !!!
  • the PvP ladder got inactive because there were not any NEW rewards added for years like GvG and that is why both had hardly any activity !!! IF NEW rewards would have been added to the PvP ladder then I am confident that the PvP activity would have increased a lot !!! it only stands to reason that if there are no new rewards or profit to be made that the PvP ladder was bound to have hardly any activity, imagine if titan drops were hardly anything worth, titan hunting would end up like the PvP ladder too !!! as long as there is new rewards / "profit" to be made then it will stay active !!!
  • to be honest I think the PvP Season is a perfect idea for a PvP GLOBAL EVENT, it is after all mainly a huge stam sink which all the other global events are too !!!
friends know that the last years I have only been playing FS because of PvP and for my friends !!!
I ♥ FS & I ♥ PvP but the current system is preventing me from my only game aspect (PvP) I used to play and if I can only use FS to chat with friends then the prog SKYPE has more options to offer mellow.png
 
I am going offline for 2 weeks or so, hope that this nightmare ends until then or I will be forced to retire because there will be no game aspect for me to play anymore (hope it will not come to this)
 
*EDIT*
I have sent the content of this post to everyone I know in my contact list + where they can find & read the post in forum AGAIN with the LINK: https://forums.hunte...-24#entry942479

#942074 PvP Seasons Rewards. Thoughts and desires please.

Posted by TSDaedalus on 29 July 2015 - 14:16

Everyones xp gain is within the same +-40... Everyone has access to guilds that have epics aswell so that number is drastically lower...I don't see the point in how much your max stam is...at the end of the day when you've been playing the seasons for awhile its all down to stamina GAIN.

...another reason why I'd like epic gear that I can actually wear if I'm going to do PvP. As it stands, I can't wear epics and be competitive. That's a problem.
