TGIF! Development News December 22nd 2017

Happy Holidays, all! No matter what you celebrate I hope you all have a safe and happy season. (This is Mitch again, animating Scoughman like a freakish marionette.)

Not a lot of news this week, but there are a few notes to cover so let’s get to it before we scarper off for the long weekend.

Holiday Raids
Zombie Slayer just finished up their crack at the Holiday Raids, assisting Commander Claus and blew past their assigned goals for the event. As a result they unlocked a grand total of 16 Holiday Raid chests which of course contain a chance to get some sweet, one-off Holiday themed loot. This is of course on top of all the XP, Cash and Raid Drops they got from the Bosses themselves.

Mob Wars: LCN is going through their Holiday event right now (walkthrough here). Viking Clan, you’re up next week!

Boxing Week Sale
While Boxing Week is more of a English tradition (and by extension Canadian), we notice that it has been creeping into the world-wide vernacular much like Black Friday is becoming more of a thing up here.

Next week we’re going to be offering some great new bundles featuring both FP and items, on top of the regular stuff (Hired Guns and refills, especially useful for killing off those last few Holiday Raids!) Make sure to check out the sale next week if you’re so inclined towards great deals!

Holiday Support and Community Update
Just a reminder that Monday and Tuesday are Holidays up here in Canada so the Support and LiveOps departments will be off on those days. We’ll be back in the office on Wednesday full of tasty Holiday fare and ready to work so ticket and forum responses will resume then.

Good night everyone xx

 

Can't say I'm all that enthused about the holiday raids. Why would a high level really want to invest in these raids when it doesn't much benefit them? It's a nice thought but EVERYONE gets the same randomized stuff. The drops from the holiday cases aren't strong enough for most of us that have been around to use.

I mean let's break it down this way. You giving the drops to everyone. And I mean everyone. So basically it works out in reality like this for higher levels.

We use UN to help on these bosses since with stamina costing 2 sp and so little to do and capping the refill on level at 1000 we can't really stock up stamina without in essence wasting everything above that level refill cap every time we level. Or we use every resource on these things and sit there at 1/4 of a level and have to wait a full day to be able to do gp and eek out a few more attacks. However, small accounts can level out of the world on these things. GAINING UN each level to use for strength purposes.

Most of us at this point have spent un (whether saved or purchased) to buy items to fill our inventory. And now you are handing out items that allow new folks a chance to have strong items to fill their inventories right away.

So it breaks down like this to us (or how it feels) We have to pay un to level, we pay un to give new folks spiffy items, we spent un to get items.

I mean, I get it. We are your bankroll. But dang Must it be rubbed in our faces?

I knew the items wouldn't help us much. I mean we are all hoping for the 500 energy at this point. And you know what 500 energy gets me? 2 clicks. TWO. That's roughly 9k in experience. Do you really think that puts a dent in the 3,029,760 xp we need to level?

If it is decided doing something like this would be fun in the future PLEASE keep this in mind.

At least require some actions on the things or something.

 

there still are required actions, that hasn't changed

 

not exciting about holiday raid, the loot are same craps as always.... why take away 10 skill points from first raid ?

 

because it is a holiday raid that will not be repeated, stop whining, if ya don't like raids, don't do them if it is such a disappointment, lol

 

Happy Holidays to all!
Any chance a new boss for Mob Wars LCN coming soon?

 

Not for the cases at the end there wasn't. Folks that didn't touch a raid got the same ones those that put massive actions in did.

 

aaahh OK, gotcha, but it is also a global, meaning across all platforms,

 

regardless holiday, kano do not take away skill points from raid..... you are one who whine to my comment, Xmas to you say cheese

 

I have a suggestion. Why not give the player who post a raid boss, to have the ability to remove a player from their raid when the assisting player clicks on the raid one time, sits there and fails to assist. On numerous raids I have had 5-10 players assist on the raid and do not the minimum damage.

 

Post #8 here> http://forums.kanoapps.com/threads/had-enough-with-raid-boss-killers.26465/#post-183361

But the ability for Raid owners to remove people is not going to be something we're going to look at implementing because it is such a technical and gameplay nightmare. While the concept is simple, the implementation of such a feature makes it impractical. Every player that joins a Raid becomes a part of that specific Raid's calculations and there's no clean way to remove them and their contributions, even if that contribution was not particularly helpful.

 

how about blacklist for the raid lol, not sure if it is techmical feasible

 

regarding loot case, could use staminas loot .... we have energys loot and i have no seen staminas loot yet

 

How about adding a message in the SEND MESSAGE , saying, "You joined my Raid Boss, please do minimum damage instead of a few hits.
