A Small Change to Daily Reward Collections

Hey folks!

Just thought I would let you know about a recent change the developers made to the Daily Rewards. This adjustment shouldn't affect a lot of people, but the basic gist of it is that if your Stamina or Energy are three times higher than your normal maximum value, then you'll have to expend some before you can collect your Daily Reward.

If you fall under this category, there's helpful new text in the Daily Rewards collection box to let you know what the deal is and how much Stamina or Energy you'll have to expend. The developers found that this was resulting in cases of lost Energy and Stamina, so they decided to implement this change to prevent that from happening. If you have and comments about this change, leave them below!

 

Whats the reasoning behind this?

ahhhh,,,alrighty...thanks for the response

 

Thanks for explaining I was like HUH? I am a bit brain dead from this latest heatwave

 

Mitch correct me if I'm wrong, but the total saved for 1 week boosts is 150% which is not 3 times max value, this will only effect people that stockpile stamina/energy and don't play correct? Even if used daily reward 1st ~70% boost doesn't add up to 3 times max

 

Correct, people that stockpile will be impacted.

The intent of the feature was to reward daily play, we found that some people were stockpiling insane amounts by checking in daily but not playing.

We likely did not need to even make a public post since it will impact only the few "abusing" the feature, but in keeping with our efforts of transparency thought it was best to come clean.

 

Ahhhh Interesting.

 

wait but from my understanding if you are stockpileing a weeks worth of energy you get a 360% boost meaning you cant colet unless you expand more into energy but even if your down to 0 energy with the 340% boost you would never be able to colect your reward. and as for stam corect me if im wrong but isnt a weeks worth 170% boost so that would mean even with full stam you can still stockpile a weeks worth and not get penalized, because it would total out to 270% wich is 30% less them the penalization mark.. so wouldnt this only affect the people who stockpile energy, right?

 

Bogus move.

It should be our choice if we wish to stockpile or not.

If we lose stam in the process so be it we know.


Bogus move Kano.


How about raising the stamina cap then?


One "small change" my foot.

 

the way i see it here is kano wants people to buy more points ...which i think is dead wrong to do ...i see it becoming a rip off ...

 

I am also in agreement here with everyone else. I stockpile my stamina when i know an arena is going to becoming up so i get a huge load of stamina to drop on it before i waste favor points in there. If this is being taken away then i won't be wasting anymore favor points in the arena myself anymore. You have to take into consideration certain additions you have added into your game where if u want to stay alive long enough to make it down the tier bracket or lots of drops u need that stamina.

 

Couldn't quote this directly since the thread is closed but the point is yes this change is for the money.

Prove me wrong Kano I dare ya.

 

LOL...really? Could he have been any more clear? its intended purpose was to promote daily play....not to stockpile massive amounts. It was simply a loop hole that has been closed. John...Im surprised that u are taking the stance u are , I remember quite clearly u advocating for minimums when it came to players not allocating to their Def., I believe you called that a loophole and felt that it was not what Kano had intended which resulted in unfairness to others.

If people want to get their boost they will actually have to use it....it makes perfect sense.

 

Can't believe I'm taking your side on this.

Well said.

 

Didn't you once argue that Kano screwed you by adding in "minimal damage" cause of your little defense.

Saying it was tailored built so you could get max exp out of rivals while they got little off you?

Weren't you up in arms against Kano when they added in a min damage?


Don't you remember?

 

Its up to the player how they want to play.

Stockpile has always been there.


Seems awful convient this happens shortly after the slide bar was added in battle arena.


Money Money Money.

I don't think that incident that happened earlier in VC was a glitch at all.


Fix that then suddenly come out with this?

Awful close timing on that.

 

Polish i play every single day sometimes an hour or more. Why should i be penalized in stockpiling my stamina in use of the arena. If u want to penalize players again go after the one's causing the issues who log in and out. Kano can figure an easy way out to put some sort of timer into the daily rewards in order to stockpile you must play this amount of hours within a weeks stockpiling. Simple and easy. Quit punishing the one's who play fairly. And the defensive issue heck truthfully it's been so long since i have done the forums i can't remember which specific one your referring to. There was so many i argued against and for. And this one i am against.

 

Jon - could you provide an example of your use case? For stamina, max you could get for 1-week is 1.4x your max stamina (I believe), this change prevents you from collecting when you are over 3x. So essentially we are talking about people that would play daily for +3-weeks without using stamina.

3x is still quite generous and excessive, but wanted to adjust take feedback as we do.

Also, it is important to note that limits in boosts and refills don't allow a boost when already boosted. This was a loophole which we are closing.

 

One thing I do see wrong with this is there are people with high enough health to not have to heal before the game naturally makes them do so. So with that said the daily reward is 70% x's 5=350% if they don't want to play for 5 days isn't that decision? They invested in health, thus kinda getting robbed IMO with limit set a 3 x's max. Some might not understand how much some have stockpiled though, last year when a player quit he kept seeing how much stamina he could acquire and if memory serves me correct it was 66k.
