View Full Version : Raid Boss Event: Open letter to GREE

GREE it is time for you to LISTEN!

I am now desperately trying to save you from yourself. You have blown up the very foundation of this game and in doing so have lost the heart and soul of the very community that has loyally followed you. I have seen countless strong and dedicated players call it quits as you have lost sight of the most important element of playing a game. IT HAS TO BE FUN!!!!

In your efforts to introduce crafting to this game, you totally changed the entire underpinnings and in doing so, robbed this community of the very reason we started playing this game... IT USE TO BE FUN. Worse, you lobbed this whole new style of play over a fence without any guidance or forewarning like some kind of stink-bomb (edited to keep profanity out). War started and we had to figure it out... then we all scrambled to adjust. The key take away is that you devalued unit totals for new items we have less control over (army and heroic points). The exodus of strong players increased to a level I have not seen before... You can see this in the number of guilds that qualify for an award during the war campaigns (it is less than 1/2 of what it used to be). You know this because you are now desperately trying to bring back old players with an offer of a few hundred dollars in gems.

Then on the heals of that disastrous introduction, you once again blow up your community by remaking Epic Boss based on Heroic Attack. This time you went OUT OF CONTROL and I think raised the level of anger in the community well beyond anything I have ever seen before. Now the exodus has grown to include some of the games strongest spenders. I used to enjoy EB (as did many of us)... I have a relatively strong EB attacks and boss 99 took me 15 gold hits (I used to be able to kill a lvl 100 with 1 gold and 1 free hit).

Now we come to the last respite of the community and the reason for this post: Raid Boss. DO NOT CHANGE RAID BOSS, OR THIS GAME IS OFFICALLY DEAD. I am still not certain the game can withstand what you have done to it already but I can safely tell you that the players that remain are hanging on by the smallest of threads. If you impose yet another change to a beloved event such as Raid Boss, I am confident in saying you will have alienated those of us who remain. And in doing so, will officially call an end to this game.

For once GREE, please listen to your community!

And I would like to add 1 thing to this (not taking away anything from Mattman's post as it was perfect)
PLEASE, stop with the temp bonsues and rewards for beating the events. For example, beating Heroic raid boss costs gems, period. No way to do it without spending them. Guilds are willing to do it. They are willing to spend money to beat the event. Do not slap us in the face after spending X number of dollars with a boost that lasts only for the upcoming war. Make it worth while and give a permanent bonus, something meaningful, that helps with the new stats that you have made so important.

Marttman thank you for you well written and well thought out note to Gree. I think you have nailed the feelings of the community. Gree's silence is what worrys me.

Folks, I hate to break the news but they are going to make changes to the RB. Get ready, don't show up here in a few days and say nobody told you so. These boobs have destroyed everything we enjoyed about the game. They wanted to do it because they thought the game was becoming stale and repetitive. There's no way they would change everything else and leave the RB alone.

I'm assuming when the RB goes live, boss health will be increased.
The damage you do will decrease.
When we complete quest levels we will be rewarded crappy chest.

These guys want to destroy the game or they have no idea what they are doing.

Fair warning...

I agree with everything stated by the original post. And pretty much everyone in my top-ten guild shows similar disgust. Retirements have already happened. :(
