As my good friend DarkStratus mentioned, we're very careful when we release achievements, and we do constantly monitor a variety of game areas to ensure that achievements are where they need to be. We absolutely appreciate how you guys feel about this, and will take that into consideration when releasing new achievements.
In all honesty I do appriciate the hard to get achievements especially when there's a combine of easier ones to get to. I started on facebook 765 days ago. I origionally came from myspace and was at one time one of the top levelers over there. Over on myspace I will never get my 250k win achievement because I built my account over there to level very fast. Now when I started on facebook I decided to take my time to make sure that one day id reach 250k wins. I made huge sacrifices, my faction had to help chainlist me in order to keep from leveling. My hard work and sacrifices paid off. Yes it was some measely skillpoints. 8 skillpoints for 250k wins is absolutely rediculous. However the feeling I got when I finally achieved my goal felt so good it was worth it. Add on 1st place to 5th place arena winner. Add anything on the leaderboard should be an achievement. Fight kills? Even if the top ones are an outragious numbers give people something to shoot for. Thanks
Very well put. I feel the same way as Im sure most do....the tough ones that only a few have obtained are the most satisfying. To exclude a category or in this case part of a category (which just so happens to be the the most important part)simply because the masses cant yet is just a travesty, especially when u look at some of the other achievement categories that the very same could be said about. It will be years before a substantial number of players get some achievements (as it should be)...why exclude the the top dawgs in the arena? Lets be real.... winning an arena is an achievement......10 battle victories is more a participation reward
And fyi there's actually 21 people on fb that have over 250k wins. We have one person with 526,962 wins that's over double of your top achiement. You would think she would get rewarded for that right? Especially when you all decided to give out an achievement for 4,000 energy? Shouldn't it be slightly more ballenced so that no matter what your style of play is you can get different achievements? Just saying...
Perfectly said Pimp. I don't ever count on a achievement for winning though. Kano just loves to screw over the players that actually know how to win(DARE TELL ME IM WRONG KANO)
Guys I really don't think Kano is trying to screw anyone over. The problem is Kano does not play this game as much as even the average player. Developers in other games like eq WOW etc have master accounts at different levels so that they can test the game at different levels to insure the game goals are more reasonable and fair.
I dont think Kano is purposely trying to screw anyone over....but they definitely do in that when a tough decision has to be made in the form of a compromise they default to the highest levels most if not everytime. I agree that they dont play enough and they really dont have a feel for the true environment in each game. But im not sure thats the reason behind their reasoning's in this particular instance. They are a business and as with any business they need a constant influx of new customers. But as most successful businesses know (the ones that are in it for the long term) ....they need to keep their current clients happy as well. Kano on the other hand seems to be "all in" on the new customer aspect. Games like this usually have a pretty short shelf life, but Kano has had a pretty good run(due to its long time dedicated players). Personally I think their focus has been too heavily focused on one segment of the player population and by doing so has alienated a large number of the long term player population. Not only arent players joining like they use to...but existing customers are quitting and becoming less active in droves. Its not like Kano has a big advertising campaign splashing their name everywhere....games like this become popular via word of mouth. If your alienating your most dedicated it only stands to reason that the "word on the street" isnt going to be in your favor. These games have become overly restrictive and reward excellence less in favor of mediocrity to appease what they wrongfully think the masses want or need . As was stated by a Dev on this particular subject....they dont want to have achievements that cant be gotten by more players. I dont know about anyone else....but when i started these games or any other game...I never looked at the achievements and thought ...Damn, Im not gonna play this game because I will never get that! Rather...after getting my first achievement I set my eyes on the next and so on and so on. Isnt that the way it works for most? Isnt that what they've done with most the other achievements? So...no....I dont think they are out to just screw over a handful of players....but that doesnt change the fact that they have been and are continuing to do so...the latest example of that being the lack of achievements for winning the arena
i just want to know why there are no battles kill achievement (not in arena ) i mean you give achievements for everything else and as much i dont want to agree with what is being said pimp made a good point. as he said he spends more then his reward he should get more for winning . i spend 100 stamina and get points / gf/ $$ just for hanging on till level 100..
lol i go for all achievements , first in the arena gets 75 points 100% xp an 100 times income an polish an the pc boys want more lol thats just funny , maybe if you sat more of them out an let others have a chance they mite give us more lmmfao, an not talking about me for i have a 2nd place an happy with it
Yes, and I suggested that Kano do the same, or at least take input from real players as if they were volunteers of their company instead of lying to everyone. "We value your input greatly, unfortunately we're not going to use any of it".
