@majincob said: I wish this was in a calendar format, lots of data to parse - a graphic would make it much better.
@tfg76 said: Brigby Thanks for the update. Those kinds of mistakes happen, and it would be great to have this info come out earlier to avoid the rampant speculation and negativity the last three weeks.Now: Will this weekends Hour of Devastation be a coalition event?
@babar3355 said: And importantly, will we actually need to have Samut or are they removing the PW locking restriction. Quite a few players don't have Samut and it doesn't look like she is in the vault.
@majincob said: Brigby I'm still confused. If it has coalition rewards, then it is a coalition event. At least that's how it has been historically. Also your statement on whether players need Samut isn't clear.

@Brigby: another weekend has passed, another weekend full of stress due to the dual coalition events. A lot of my players are complaining. They usually don't complain. An event with top notch rewards demotivates players that don't have the required PW. It would be logical to have that particular PW in the vault. But no... not there. A lot of forum members asked to separate RGP and HoD, but no... again a double coalition event weekend. You kindly informed us that you passed on the info to the devs. Can we at least can some kind of insight or the slightest feedback of their response when you pass this information along? Two of my best players are highly demotivated and one is saying that he's going to stop, because this game penalizes people not being in the correct time zone. I think these issues are just as important as providing new content for this game. IMHO this game needs two big changes and it needs them VERY fast:
1) Add new content / get rid of old content / mix the content already available from the past: People have been screaming to get rid of RGP for weeks now. Yet we still get presented RGP every week. It is made worse now "you" coupled it with another coalition event. I welcome the switch to another, fresh coalition event (Hour of Destruction) but please, NOT simultaneously with RGP. Why not throw in the Avacyn event or the Gods of Amonkhet for a change? I bet players would have been excited to see the Halloween event as a big surprise comeback.
2) Make the obvious changes when looking from a player perspective: get rid of the charges and give everyone the maximum charges so they can play when they want. That way there are way less dependent of time zones, working hours, getting less sleep etc. Players will continue to sign in for the free boosters, if that's the reason why these charges still exist. The other plus is that we can get rid of "Boss" events, which are badly designed anyway. Another obvious change: make sure every player has the opportunity to play "unique" events at the maximum possible and not locking them out if they don't own a particular PW. Fine, run an Elspeth event, but at least make sure players can get Elspeth in the same week before the event starts.
3) OK, I will add a third point :-) I highly appreciate the monthly updates, but communication is below standard. We are left in the dark for too long. If you pass information on to the developers, we would like to get some insight in how that is going to be handled.
Sorry for this wall of text. I wouldn't be doing it if I haven't seen the cry for immediate changes in my coalition and the threatening of quitting the game. In the end every player wants a fun gaming experience, not a recurring frustrating grind. I love this game and I'm sure you do to.
Thanks for all your effort up to now! Cheers!
