Like most GREE titles, Knights & Dragons has a slew of social features, including weekly PvP challenges, hiring knights created by other players to help you in battle – think Dragon’s Dogma’s ‘Pawn’ system – plus friending, leaderboards and more.

In a statement issued to VG247, Eiji Araki, SVP, Social Games, GREE International, Inc said of the game’s release, “In Knights & Dragons, we set out to develop a fun and accessible RPG experience that delivers all the social, strategic and immersive elements that mobile social gamers love.

“We also wanted to bring a deeper storyline by introducing an entertaining plot, witty dialogue, playful characters and high-production art, as well as a continuous dose of new content, features and events to keep the fun fresh. We’ve worked hard to make this title more than a game, but an ongoing entertaining experience.”

If I read this, the only thing I can say is that Gree has done exactly as they said, with exception of the "deeper storyline".

Every week there has been a new Epic Boss with the graphics increasingly getting better.
This also applies for the Epic Armors, some of the newer Legendary armors could of easily been Epic Armors for their art alone so they have done exactly as they said they would.
Everyone just happens to have different definitions for "keeping the fun fresh."

Personally I've been excited in the first 6 months of time with the Epic Boss every week.
If you've ever read the dialogues for the new weekly quest line for the Arena it actually is quite witty and funny at times, it's just unfortunate that 90% of the people simply do not care for it.

My question to you is: What exactly is it that you're trying to point out or proof?
Is it that you wish to gain recognition? Then great job on finding something that isn't that significant.
I know based of your previous posts that you don't agree with the way Gree is currently doing things and that you are bored of Knights and Dragons, however I think this topic is nothing more than trying to put oil on the fire.

Unnecessary, not a Gem.
If it were a Gem, I could at least spend it. :(

TL;DR version
I think OP says that Gree is not living up to their statement and I believe they are.

TL;DR version
I think OP says that Gree is not living up to their statement and I believe they are.

They are constantly rotating new Eb, Arena, i know they have goofy story lines in KnD, i use to read it, i get bored when i log in sometimes and just skip it altogether. i am impressed that they have fairly pretty looking bosses. but sometimes they aren't as imaginative as i would have hoped.

example - the halloween collections bride gives you a royal goblet pimp slap from that comfy little chair shes sitting in, but EB animations are fairly short, and not very fluid sometimes. and as much as they do update the bosses and arena every week, its a repetitive encounter, there isn't as much new. there is no skill level with KnD unfortunately that makes encounters different. there is no real RNG for battle, you hit for X amount 90% of the time, Xt ime1.5 5%(crit), and miss 5% of the time. then when it comes to you getting low HP, there must be a codding statement that hightens the chance of critting you to take you out, before it takes you out.

the Encounters Generally are meant to push you to lose as well. Take Arena for instance, if someone beat you, and you went first in their battle, the likeness of you beating them, going second attack with a revenge is highly unlikely.

when it says its a strategic game, they aren't exactly telling the truth. the only strategy i can see is, can you rations your time well enough to beat the eb, or mindlessly farm and craft armors to level up EB armors(105 levels for eb+ lvl70). adding in new elements of gameplay couldnt be an easy task, but there definitely is room for improvement. the few improvements i've been seeing isn't that impressive though.

i mean i'm glad they are trying, the raid idea is pretty cool. but the gameplay mechanics makes it so very dull.

I know this game is making some big bucks with how many top level guilds there are in IOS and Android, and the game is such a low budget game compared to some of these other big titles. you would think they stayed on top of Continuous newer fresh content. (not just changing the 5-10 frame sprite for a new EB/Raid boss)

thats the point i'm getting at.

Then in this case it makes a whole lot more sense why you brought it out there.
Just from your original post it seemed to me as if you tried pointing out the obvious already but I'm getting your point.
And I have to agree to a certain degree as well, let's just hope things will change soon.

tl;dr like most advertising everywhere, it's probably crafted by lawyers in such a way to stay just short of outright lying... ;)
