Even though the Underspire itself can be fun, this update altogether is quite a bummer. We all expected more ways of spending money for basic resources, but the whole game now seems way to complicated and overstuffed.
Nothing is really declared in-game for new or even older players. Visualization is gross and basically hiding all necessary information during battles on smaller screens. No wonder people quit on this game so fast even though it once was the best of it’s kind …
It’s just incredible how this update pushes HARD on pay to win. The underspire is clearly just that: pay if you want resources, if not… well, we don’t care about you, move along.
The new troop design is horrific. After playing 30m, i had to shut it down. My eyes were strained, impossible to continue.
The doom weapon in tower a doom is the worse addition ever. Who the hell has enough resources to update that?. So by default it’s a setup for failure or … pay gems from ALL guild to reach higher levels.
Been playing this for 7 years, but this update is the update that triggered me and another guildmate to think very seriously about calling it quits. The direction of the game is clear. No modes are enjoyable anymore.
There’s should be a public system where users should be able to vote on things like these before they are making it to production. I would be very curious to see how many ACTIVE PLAYERS would have agreed with half of these changes??? But again, it’s not about the players, it’s about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. And forcing someone to spend gems is the way.
Just played the Underspire and wow is it boring. Whats so fun about…I dont see it. Just a waste of gems. Beat a boss and found a stone thing but ok now what? Idk not liking it.
some posted some rewards, like 2 imperial deeds and so on. There’s promise of dragonite. How much, no idea
BUT, to get there without spending an insane amount of gems AND/OR CASH… is not possible.
I wish they would have concentrated on fixing bugs and listen to the community on some event changes, rather than adding MORE CONFUSION and more gem burning opportunities. A shame.
Beta tester here. I’d encourage you to give the mode a try - even just using the free torches (and one lamp that you get free from the first vendor) and see if you feel like it was worth it. I was more negative about this mode in the beginning but I turned around a bit as they made changes and adjustments based on the feedback. I may not spend many gems on it (I’ll almost certainly at least do the 50 gem per day tier because that won’t hurt me), but I will at least do the free stuff. You might try it and hate it, but you might find it worthwhile.
I obviously can’t promise anything because I’m just a tester, but from what I saw, I feel like I can get some imperial deeds without spending anything at all, and that alone is worth the time to me. Plus orbs, etc. It’s based a bit on RNG, of course, but honestly I picked very bad paths most of the time and I think it should be possible to get to at least 1-2 dragons for free. It’s not everything but it feels worth my time to at least do that.
I also appreciate that they allowed the torches to roll over, so you don’t have to play every single day to get the full benefit.
Sorry, not sure about that one. I logged in every day so I never tested that. However, they gave us Monday’s torches today along with today’s, so I do find that encouraging?
They were changing things a lot during this Beta and the event was typically reset mid-week so it was tough for us to really get to the end. Also, the 7 torches per day is new (it started smaller and they raised it after feedback). I wasn’t ever able to make it to the end, myself.
I’m sorry, I can’t read all the replies here.
Did the devs answer the question about weekend events? What will happen to them now, when Raids and Invasions have become week long?
Yikes, guys. I have issues with my eye sight and this update is terrible. How did this pass any Acessibility QC? Do you even have any? Going to lose whatever disabled community you have.
