TGIT! What happened this past week in Dev and Community? Player Bans April 5 - April 11 As a reminder, the following numbers are permanently frozen accounts, and don't count temporary freezes. FB: 2 KP: 1 The majority of permanently frozen accounts are frozen for being a shared or alternate account. This is something we actively investigate, and we appreciate players reporting suspicious accounts to us. If you have any questions or comments about a frozen account, please direct them through Support as the Forums are not the place to discuss account freezes, because of the sensitive account information involved. New Limited Items! A new week means new Limited Items! Here’s what’s up for grabs: Good Friday Long Weekend! As you may have noticed I’m posting this TGIF on a Thursday. That’s because tomorrow is Good Friday and is therefore a holiday for us Kano folks. As usual you should expect a day or so’s delay in answering Support tickets or anything here on the forum, but we’ll be back Monday morning, probably full of chocolate. Easter Calendar! Here comes the Easter Calendar! This special Three-Day Calendar runs from April 18 at 10:00 am PDT - April 21 at 10:00 am PDT. Support Report with your favorite burrowing, nocturnal mammal and Answerpreneur, Aardvark! Happy Friday! Today I'd like to talk a bit about how our games integrate with the networks they live on, as there seems to be some confusion about this. Social media games are not complete, independent entities in themselves, they are created as a fun extension of a user's network profile. When players in these game interact, that information exchange is possible because of the architecture of the social media network. Think of the network as bridge spanning an epic ravine. The bridge itself is a huge impressive structure that allows lots of people and traffic to cross and is kind of a big deal. Well, it turns out this bridge is also a sweet place to bungee jump. That's what the game apps are, a way to use the existing structure in a new fun way and even attract more people to use the bridge. However, something to keep in mind that however awesome the bungee experience is, it's still completely dependent on the bridge and the people who made it. This means that all of us, users and developers alike need to stick to the rules the bridge builders have laid out to keep it safe and well-maintained. Ultimately we ask that everyone please respect our social media partners' Terms. They have the right to remove a user from their network if they consider that person to be a problem. We will always do what we can to make sure our players are looked after, but our options are pretty limited if your account has been closed by network admins! Cheers, Aardvark who thinks the Hufflepuff house at Hogwarts has been badly marketed and needs to do some brand revitalization. Terrible Joke of the Week Here's your lame joke of the week!

Hey Mitch Several times players have asked about the upgrading of weapons, some of us now have a ton of weapons and drops that we cannot use. Whilst I like everyone else enjoy calendars etc, the real heart of the game is being forgotten about. This is a war game, players want to get stronger to kill their enemies. Please can you get a handle on the elite and legendary situation as it is becoming a bit of a joke. By way of example, I have over 20,000 acorn slings, they are useless to me. Not much incentive to then kill another rat to get more.............
Yeah, I was completely ignored when I asked about it! RE-POST ~ "I hope you are making new Blacksmith Recipes a priority! For higher Levels it is really starting to be VERY frustrating! We ALL have tons of new inventory that we cannot even use! Not only do we need to make the Drop Items from the Ratatoskr, The Last Stand of Heimdallr, Odin's Ravens, & Shadow Valkyrie into Elite & Legendary items. New Recipes for the Reward Items are needed also! I am talking about like what you did with the Reward items from the Hel's Rising Coop Boss & others. We need the same thing done for the Skadi's Blizzard Reward items, Heimdallr Reward items, Thrym Reward items, Jormungandr Reward items, Helreginn Returns Reward items, Ratatoskr Reward items, The Last Stand of Heimdallr Reward items, Odin's Ravens Reward items, Shadow Valkyrie Reward items! If I am frustrated I hate to think how the 2 very highest level people feel!!! I'm not sure if you have noticed that there are a LOT more higher level people now & we can't do anything to make ourselves stronger!! It is really starting to be a get no where game! If you have not made it a priority, I certainly hope you DO make it a priority!" It would be nice to get an answer!!!
I'm hardly ignoring the question and I'm sorry if I gave that impression, it's just that I have no news to share in that regard. The developers are aware of the request for Elite/Legendary items but unfortunately they don't have a hard ETA. I keep asking them on a weekly basis and if they give me a hard date I'll definitely let you guys know.
We do, but the numbers in the TGIF only count permanent freezes and not temporary ones, so if an Armor Games player was temporarily frozen in the past week it wouldn't be counted here.
Besides the Elite & Legendary we need Recipes for ALL the Newer Bosses Rewards too! Could you please tell them that also?? Tell them it is VERY frustrating not being able to do anything to get stronger!!! Thank you!♥
I agree as I no longer need to kill the rat anymore as we have no elite or legendary upgrades. I just keep feeding it cheese to keep it alive until it is useful - but the cheese is running out cos it's a big rat!! Can you just give us an idea of possibilities of upgrades and, if so, predicted timescales. So we are not wasting our stamina needlessly!!
