I really dislike this new system of the Winstreak, it will allow people who just started a new account to win many more points at the price of less gems.

New Winstreak Rewards:
(10%) 3 Wins: Silverstar
(20%) 6 Wins: 2 Energy
(30%) 9 Wins: 2 Enchanted Keys
(40%) 12 Wins: 2-Star
(50%) 16 Wins: 3 Fusion Stones
(60%) 21 Wins: 2 Dark Prince Keys
(80%) 26 Wins: 2 2-Stars
(100%) 33 Wins: 3-Star
(120%) 40 Wins: Fusion Boost Armor

God forbid new players have any kind of advantage over people who already have more four- and five-star armors than they know what to do with.

Discovered a bug.

If you have sound disabled, or if you select the option to disable...sounds are still enabled next time you open KnD.
Even if you turn the volume sliders all the way down, when you open KnD again it will show the sliders all the way down and the radio button for Enable Audio will not be selected, but there will still be music playing.

Currently, the only fix I see is to click the Enable Audio radio button twice, to turn it "on" and back off again...or just have the volume on your mobile device turned down.

Potentially discovered another bug.

Guildie-o-mine got to 33 wins in Area and the game failed to offer him a new opponent. He tried everything he could think of to get the list of opponents to reset, but all it would do is this.

http://i.minus.com/ibzyN3vr6bNsBi.jpg

The timer ran out and halted his win streak.


This happen to anyone else?



And one more, minor bug...
My language settings are in English, but when I go to the Arena rewards screen for Rank, the part that says "1,000 more points to the next Ribbon" is in French.

I have confirmed that I am not the only one this happens to.

So far so good but...

How you expect us to get 40 win streaks? If the system is broken as it have been for a long time it won't let a player do so - Ahem, except those who can afford spending ridiculously high amount of gems for power attacks.

Video Offer button just got a lot slower - But i actually got 2 offers. Amazing! Bet that's the only offers i'll get this month.

Offers on the "Wall" is still not working or providing gems for me. Haven't worked since i did all the free offers when i started playing the game - You ignored all my mails about it so i gave up writing to you.

Bug: Can't enter my friendslist - Which means i can't fight them.

Facebook: Why all the facebook ? It's not even on my device. Facebook everywhere but here... Can't stand the antisocial media anyway..

Also: Where are my 2 Wasp Stinger, Gree? I have mailed you several times now and explained myself. You compensate 30 gems to players who have used 4 gems for the summoning stone bug but can't manage to give me my stingers?

Other than that: Good update. It's going in the right direction.

Edit: Don't tell me that splash screen about connecting with facebook will show itself every time i open the game? Already got enough splashscreens popping up and this just makes it worse. Facebook popup - Come on... It's a do-over.

Offer Wall? Well, I call it "Wall of Spam-surveys". The surveys are miles long and doesn't provide gems in the end - May work for some though.

Also got a respons from Gree about the 2 Wasp Stingers i was missing:

Edit: So i finally got the 2 stingers i was missing. Had to do the math for them but still. I got them in the end - Thank you, Gree. You made my morning :)

Seriously how are we supposed to get to 40 wins?

Assuming a person does not spend gems in arena:

- energy renewal is capped at 5
- It takes 2 hours for energy to be renewed
- Using this method and assuming the person doesn't miss the best streak reward they can get is the 3 streak prize.

Assuming a person does spend gems int he arena:
- A person would have to spend 30 gems every 2 hours in order to get a full 40 energy.
- IF the player never loses a battle they would be able to get to that 40 streak.
- Even with the keys they would win they wouldn't even come close to getting the gems needed to repeat this process in another two hours.

With the limited ways to earn gems this system really isn't fair to the people that don't have the money to buy gems. I've tried filling out the surveys; they're seriously impossible to complete. And the one time I did complete one I never got the gems.

Something needs to be done to make the arena streaks more fair. Either raise the energy cap or find a way for people to earn gems in game. There are lots of other games out there that actually give their players credits at a rate that allow the players to actually get the things that they want. Granted not at a fast rate, but at a rate where the player feels the system is fair.

In summary: The streak reward system sucks.

Seriously how are we supposed to get to 40 wins?

By spending gems.


Assuming a person does not spend gems in arena

Then they weren't getting 20 wins before the update, so why should they expect to get 40 now?


Assuming a person does spend gems int he arena:
- A person would have to spend 30 gems every 2 hours in order to get a full 40 energy.

No, they wouldn't. They could continue buying energy until they reached 40 wins. It would take less than 20 minutes.


- Even with the keys they would win they wouldn't even come close to getting the gems needed to repeat this process in another two hours.

Of course they wouldn't. The point is not for people to be able to continually get a 40-win streak over and over.


With the limited ways to earn gems this system really isn't fair to the people that don't have the money to buy gems.

THAT is the point.


Something needs to be done to make the arena streaks more fair.

No there does not.


In summary:

The game is free-to-play, but it is also pay-to-win. That's the way it is. GREE isn't going to voluntarily go into bankruptcy just so people who don't spend money on gems will think it's fair.



Take a deep breath and step back for a second.

With an objective mind, consider what you're so worried about. If you use your time wisely, you can get up to a 9-win streak without spending a single gem. By not spending gems in Arena, you're missing out on:

A 2-star armor at 12 wins.

Worthless.
Three Fusion Stones at 16 wins.

Not worth much.
A Dark Prince Key at 21 wins.

Worthless 99% of the time.
A 2-star armor at 26 wins.

Worthless.
A 3-star armor at 33 wins.

Virtually worthless.

The Fusion Boost Armor at 40 wins is really the only thing of any value here, but you can get one of these FBAs by donating to your guild and you can get a few of them in a Fusion Blitz war.

So, again, if you weren't getting 20-win streaks before...and if you weren't spending gems, then you weren't getting 20 wins...then you should not expect to be able to get 40 wins now.

Tried that, said I already connected to facebook before, selected "OK" and then ended up with "Knights and Dragons stopped responding" immediately after trying to start KnD every time.
Fortunately clearing KnD cache and data in Android settings and a very long update redownload seems to have fixed the crash for now...


edit: don't know if it was the update or me clearing cache/data, but I seem to be able to use armors that were shortly ago locked at the summoning stone...

A member of my Android guild who had bought a sufficient amount of gems for a final Arena push today and who was crafting Aegis of War + had both their gems and armor removed. I know there is a separate area to post for technical updates (where I am also posting about this), but has this happened to anyone else?

A message has already been sent to Gree Support about this but their response will most certainly be too late for the gems to be used as intended, and this isn't really an "oh well" situation.

On the upside, my Arena percentage bonuses seem to be following the old scheme so I'm getting double points from 20 onwards. Plus I've picked up some French.

I took the iOS update, and now fusioning sucks as the 1* armors are last and your maxed out Legendaries are second immediately after the fusion boost armors! This is going to cause people to fuse their maxed out Legendaries...

The old system where the 1* armors were first was much better, I most often fuse the 1* armors to a 50ep 1*/2** armors and not my Legendaries!

I've noticed a couple bugs.

one- I was able to get a Nemesis+ and have been using on my main knight from when i got. but it took well over 3 days for my friends/guildies to be able to utilize my knight because it showed it wearing northerners (what i had from last EB). Just friday/saturday it started showing me in nemisis.

also, during wars, i change my armors around. but when my friends battle me in friend battle, and when i look at my knight icon in war ranks. it does not match what im wearing and has a very significant delay on changing my armors on the server/game side.

is this a connection issue with my account? or just a bug/glitch gree is ironing out?

it doesnt effect me, but a bug/glitch is a bug/glitch

There was a recent, smaller update, I believe.
Since then I seem to have noticed that about 25-50% of the time when I go to Arena, the screen will freeze momentarily.
I've also noticed more permanent freezing in other parts of the game, such as when I have finished a fight. I'd say this happened about 2-4 times a day while fighting in War of Destitution, but it continues on an irregular basis.

True. Experienced this myself. Also after defeating EB right when the "Victory Screen" appears - It's the same for arena too.

Facebook: Why all the facebook ? It's not even on my device...


This. Let me spend gems to get rid of it if I must, but let me freaking get rid of it. I don't want to join this game to Facebook, I don't even want Facebook on that device at all. If you want your free advertising, let me pay to have it removed through spending gems. I am not going to install the FB app and go through all the accompanying BS just to get a pop up to stop coming up (along with the 6 other pop ups, and you can't even X out of the armor notification).

Sol Invictus
05-15-2014, 10:05 AM
AGREED!

When I start the game I have to close the News feed, which I could access with a button from the main interface.
Then I have to close the Guild War screen, which I could access with a button from the main interface.
And now sometimes I have to close a Facebook referral screen, which I could access with a button.

All it does is annoy me. It's like when I go to the gas station and buy a drink, then the cashier asks me if I want a lottery ticket and a car wash and a rewards card. No...if I want those things, you will know.

You don't have to bother me. It's just gonna make me mad when I have an Arena streak timer to worry about.

MORE FREE GEM OPTIONS!
- Enhanced Offer Wall Gives NEW Options and REWARDS!

Ever since i wrote my comment here after the update my Offer Wall have been empty. Completely empty. Not a single offer. There havent been a single offer since day 2 or 3 i think it was. It just shows a big ! and a text "No offers available!

I wouldn't call it improved. At least i could look at offers i couldn't complete before this.

It seems that the offers page only works in the United States. I was using a VPN program prior to this change, and was able to get videos from other countries, but since the change, I experience the same thing as you when using the VPN.

One thing that pisses me off is that freaking facebook thing. You can only click "remind me later", i want an option "DONT REMIND ME". Im not on facebook and never will. It's bad enough that on every fking login that news message pops up again, if only it were like once a day it would be bearable but no. EVERY login there it is, login 5-6 times a day = 5-6 times that news message. It would be even better if it would only display ONCE after something in it changed then stay the hell closed till there's a new change.

I just got offer on my offer wall yesterday. Yay. But only 1 of them provided me gems - 3 gems by installing a game. The rest never gave me anything.

Just as useless as the empty offer wall.
