Not trying to start a beef.

Tony_Foot said: I don’t even think I could have sexy time with Scarlett Johansson every day for 1957 days and not start to become a little bored. You have played for an amazing amount of time every single day. Amazing for a match three game.Move on find something else, life’s too short if that’s how you feel.

Not trying to start a beef. I must say I agree with you. I bought more than a few Starks during this sale. I like the game, I do not love it anymore. I love my ally mates and friends I play closely with and the friendships I have created. I hate what the game has come to. I dislike the direction of the game. I dislike how we are being taken credit for. I dislike how the Dev, both D3 AND Demi, are absent to the issues and concerns we have.I dislike the stale game play and the lack of the Dev team caring to even address the simplest things like feeders and broke chars (Bishop and now Hammer Cap). At the end of the day, I have major issues with the game and this Dev team. Once the scales tip too much I am out. To bring this full circle, I am 1957 days in and this is the worst it has ever been and this Anniversary IS the worst one yet. The lack of anything meaningful and is worse than Anniversary year 2 when we were told “You are suppose to lose”.

So you hate the state of the game - AND YOU STILL BOUGHT A FEW STARKS.Yeah, this is how you send the right message, Rockett.

Why change something if people are still throwing hundreds of dollars at the game. Just keep sucking up that cash.

It may bring them money not or for the next few months or maybe a year at most, but what about after that ?

Ptahhotep said: Another piece of evidence that insufficient thought went into this anniversary: the anniversary vault contains fan favourite tokens but the fan favourite store closes a day before the vault. So we’re going to have a vault with tokens for an expired store for a day.
ThaRoadWarrior said: I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out this game's development team is down to somewhere between 1-3 full time people doing live ops. Probably a technical designer/producer and a junior engineer, with free-lance art as needed. It's possible the engineer is actually someone from another game who steps in here occasionally to do things like the engine overhaul. Once a game is built, you can do quite a lot with a skeleton crew.

Once a game is built, you can do quite a lot with a skeleton crew. You do realize there's a "Credits" button? There are 18 people listed there, and 2 Writers who I am not 100% convinced do active work on the game. Frank Tieri is very busy with comic work and Alex Irvine has been a Marvel writer in the past, doesn't appear to be now.Anyway.....based on Discord chat and the credits etc there are definitely not just 1-3 people involved. The last podcast interview actually had too many people trying to take part and ended up being a bit of a mess to listen to.
ThaRoadWarrior said: Those people work for Demiurge, or specifically work on this game? On LInkedIn, Demi has 40 employees, but most of the people I see with MPQ in their descriptions all say "worked on..." and have newer games above it.Also the credits list is likely anyone who's ever worked on the game, and whose content still exists within the game.

The Credits has a significant "Alumni" section (3X the current staff maybe?) and they update the Credits when necessary.I mean 18 people is not a huge group but it's not just a couple people either.

Why change something if people are still throwing hundreds of dollars at the game. Just keep sucking up that cash. This is easy to say. On the other hand if everyone starts doing it, the game won’t get healthier....it will shut down.I’m not happy about a lot of things as well, but I still get more enjoyment than grief...this is why I haven’t quit, and it’s why I still support financially. I’ve tried to cut back, but when I see an offer I like, I’m not going to skip it just to prove a point that they won’t even notice.Edit: Oh, I forgot to add that my Medusa looks fantastic. Since I use her regularly I’m still happy with that purchase. They did put in all the effort for the awesome artwork after all.
