Gems of Streaming

Im gonna call it the Pokemon update lol

This made me really upset when i watched last night. That means it will be the same cycle of chasing my tail trying to break even on gems for the foreseeable future. Not good, i honestly don’t know how much longer i can keep that up. Definitely forces my hand to make some decisions and changes, reevaluate what kind of guild i need now, and do i want to play this way period.

Great news! I’m anxious to see what pets and doomskulls will be like in practice. It also speeds up my decision making timeline.

More good news. I took this as basically no, despite the “they won’t rule it out” part. Right now the game is totally F2P on xbox, no Live Gold required. Live PVP would make GoW require Live Gold, and i don’t have plans to get it. I suspect this would put off a lot of potential players, as the fact that it doesn’t cost anything to try out is attractive. I don’t like other games enough to warrant buying it, so buying it for one game is silly. Before the last update i would have got Gold just for this, i loved the game. But i don’t see the point of paying for a game i enjoy one out of three weeks. This statement also give a twinge of hope that there may be a sequel at some point? That would be lovely, as most of the changes, recent and upcoming, feel like a last ditch effort and trying way too hard. I mean no offense to the devs by this. I like them, they’re great as far being genuine good people who care, i just don’t like their decisions lately.

Generally speaking, the reason you give is the exact reason why long-running gacha-style games like PAD (6 years and counting) haven’t launched a sequel. A number of years back, Gung-Ho did some preliminary research into a sequel and found that although a new game would give them a fresh slate, the pushback from players who had spent years building up their collection suddenly being “worthless” was far more damaging to the brand.

If Infinity+2 were ever to make a new game, it would need to be a different IP completely (not a sequel) to avoid cannibalizing the GoW playerbase.

Also, as the game seems to be doing well, there is little need for a new game currently. Going down this route would only be taken if GoW ever reached a point where the game was irreparably mechanically broken or driven so hard into the ground through mismanagement, that the only possible option was to hit the big red “nuclear launch” button and reboot/reset the IP. I very seriously doubt that the intent of the devs to intentionally destroy their own game.

Games like GoW follow a service model, meaning that if properly maintained, that there should be little, if any, need for replacement game to be created. Perhaps, one day, the devs might decide that they do not want to work on the game any longer and want it to ride off into the sunset. Otherwise than that, this is their livelihood, and I do not think that they would abandon GoW anytime soon.

I think there is a mistake the next patch will be a small one, 3.3.5.

More informations about small/big update:

So this patch is not coming early but a little bit late :slight_smile: .

Heh, Salty is already putting spoilers of the pets on Facebook:

(That said, though, I like the Sphinx, she looks adorable!)

Do you mean there is more then 6 pets?

How much for this pet in terms of :gem:??


And can a VIP discount be applied to them. Such as 10% off per VIP level???

The beta testers got to try 3.3.5 a few weeks back. There were no mechanical changes to the game in that version. If the next update comes with pets, it’s not the version beta testers played with.

So we’re going to have 3.4 at the end of the month and 3.3.5 before? Or no 3.3.5?

I had to rewatch, again. Sirrian said he’s there to “drop some hints about 3.4”, which he is “expecting […] towards the end of the month”. He also mentioned they will be submitting the update soon, which says to me that 3.4 is the next update we will see. I don’t think there’s a 3.3.5

Twitch @ 24 minutes

Yeah… and Nimhaim talked about pets in 3.4 few posts above…

But @Saltypatra talked on the same video @ 21 minutes about 3.3.5…

Maybe, patch 3.3.5 want bigger and bigger and so, devs renamed it in 3.4 so a big update.
Or they’re going to release 3.3.5 after 3.4. Because versioning correctly is too mainstream :stuck_out_tongue: .
