TGIF! Development News for August 31, 2018

Happy Friday, everyone!

After last week’s stuffed TGIF (and ahead of some other stuff next week), we have a smaller update today. Read on to find out what’s new this week:

Mob Wars: LCN Raid Changes

If you’ve been following along this past month, this should come as no surprise: we removed the level tiers from Mob Wars: LCN this week.

To help address some of the issues we were seeing with completely open Raids in the other games, we also added a cap of 30 Raids that players can be in at one time.

You can read that update in its entirety here.

Crates History on Mobile

Hot on the heels of last week’s Crates History release for the desktop versions, this feature has hit the mobile apps along with some other small interface fixes.

From the Crate page on the Favor tab, touch the Crates History drop down button to see your recent Crate purchases and what they contained.

September Raid Updates

Throughout the next month, starting with Viking Clan next week, we’re going to be releasing expansions for the current crop of Attack/Heal/Open achievements as well as some others to chase.

Make sure to keep your eyes on the in-game news feed for the announcement!

Labor Day Long Weekend

Last but not least is a reminder that this coming Monday, September 3rd, is Labor Day so the Kano HQ will be closed in observance.

This means there will be a slight delay in responding to tickets/forum posts, but normal business hours resume on Tuesday.

Lame Joke of the Week

Why did the cowboy buy a weiner dog?

To get a long little doggy!

 

30 cap, what a brilliant brainstorm. Thanks for nothing.

 

Worked fine in Zombie Slayer. But that game isnt full of people who blow over $1,000 a year on raid refills ike LCN

 

So you are seriously going to limit the number of raids we can be in to 30? I keep shaking my head in disbelief at the stupidity on this one. I do not even like raids, but I join them anyway since the chat gets very quiet while they are going on due to everyone focusing on raids instead of chatting or fighting. if you are going to force me to collect on dead raids before I can join more, this will hinder how I use strategy to gain energy from leveling when I can use it best. I think you may have actually found a way to break my addiction to this game.

 

Thanks for trying something new on the raids Kano. Maybe some of these bum players will get knocked down a peg

 

the only people who are affected by the 30 raid cap limit are the wh0res who try to do every single raid that's posted. As long as raids get killed within 24-48 hours then u can still do plenty. I for one really like the raid cap limit because it keeps people from just doing bare min on everything.

 

I like the new setup for raids
I haven't found just one raid filled with freeriders doing nothing...yet

 

I for one am glad the cap has been brought in now the bottom feeders who join dozens of raid and sit on them waiting to see if the raid will be killed before doing exact minimum to get a drop (and you all know who they are) now if they want to join more raids they will have to be more pro active.

 

What a fantastic idea about limit on raids just what i have ask for a long time

 

30 cap is hurting all players. Go read the tier adjustment threads and do not just read this thread and think it is going well.

 

how is this gonna make people be more pro active, ???? most people don't even pay attention to details or changes and those are the people who need to be pro active, the people in the know are already pro active this hurts them.

 

this raid cap stinks they still sit at the bottom and with no tiers a raid with 30 tiers 1 will not finishe at least if gonna cap put back the tiers. and I think there should be an options if only doing me the raid owner should have the option of kicking out

 

Don't hold ya breath, kano thinks a cap is a good idea, and like some of their ' good Ideas' they are gonna dig their heels and and not change it.

 

The bad part about Kicking someone, drama again. If the kicking is ever available it should be after say 12 or 24 hours and only if the mins are not done. But, doing mins is what the campers do anyway. Kind of catch 22. I still don't get the "Give EVERYBODY a trophy (key set) and then limit the raids to 30. OK, now with the limit how the heck are they going to do reward thing ever again? Those posting above liking the limits probably 3/4's don't play LCN.

 

This cap stinks, will we need to write to your support to have it counted?

 

BAD IDEA, BAD IDEA. BAD IDEA!!!!!!!

 

This 30 cap sucks!! I know they did it to discourage campers from joining 1000 raids but they should have it based on actions per raid or something like that

 

HI all, we have problems into LCN cause we dont get the full refills when we lv up, but just 500 energy and 50 stamina, so its hard to work good, people want to close raids faster , especially high lvs and for the la low lv its hard to do even the minumum ......so for us, honsetly, its not a good change at all .
cheers

 

You can buy refils like most players do and it has always been 50 stam and 500 energy when leveling for as long as these games have been played, no game except ZS gives more per level but that is a whole different set up, amd while you're at it add to stam and energy so when ya buy refills ya getting more stam and energy to play with and put your skill points in energy and stamina, that is all an easy fix, but the cap on raids is one of the worst things kano has done.
