Hopefully to make that wonderful joke the pro devs team of this game didnt wasted too many work days (hours x sure) that they could have used to plan new osom event (Conclave of Treehuggers soynd nice). release flawless troops or fix the almost non existant bugs left in game.
After all the afictionados fanbase here is used by now by those really high standards.
Said that gotta admit it wasst a stab on my heath but a full blow of a 2 handed axe followed by a war elephant stomping what was left of my splitted heartā¦
I was so much looking foward to be ablr to stash more green/orange craps in my garbage pileā¦
So sad.
Ps:tbh without forum would habe never know about it even lol, however, chepest and lazyest april fool ever seen in any game lmao, err, i meant, thx x such a osom april fool that totally fulfill MY expectations from GoW :3
I meanā¦ if Gems of War was a credit card, theyād be like āUse your credit card every day for a month and weāll apply a $25 credit to your account at the end of the month!ā But then on April 1st you log in and it says āACTUALLY! If you use it every day for a month, weāll apply a $2500 credit!!ā
I thought Pooh Bear outlawed jokes, laughter, and comparisons to communst government officials. Or maybe it was the other way around. I get confused more often than ever these days.
Wonāt someone please tell me what to think? For the Horde.
Would be respectful to all players if the devs could comment on this. Instead they have ignored the issue/pretended it didnāt happen.
If we ever get a response it will be blamed on other things though. They have hardly ever released one thing in the last 2 years without something being broken. It will be dismissed as due to current world events this time though.
What does it matter if the devs respond? From responses in this thread:
People are offended they dared to make an April fools joke.
People are insulted it wasnāt funny to them.
People would have been disappointed if April fools was completely skipped & ignored.
People joked/accused it was probably just a typical bug/mistake.
People assume if it wasnāt a joke & wasnāt a bug that it would be crap rewards.
No matter what a dev would have to say at this point, who would be appeased? All it would do is be the trigger for round 2 of bashing. Theyāre better off just saying nothing & letting it go away. Thereās no win for them here, as seems to be the case with everything they do or say these days.
Wrong, as far ik Warframe skipped it and i am so disappointed that i played it 10 hours today (while played GoW 40 minutes top and defo wont bother touch boringounty lol).
Iām all for actions begetting consequences, and said consequences should be proportionate to the actions. But seriously, what consequences can this possibly generate and would be deserved??? The only one I can imagine is 1 more hater might actually go away so the rest of us can continue to enjoy the game in peace.
Iām sorry that Iām an apologist.
While āa lotā of people might have been relieved, I stand by my statements:
And I declare again that no matter what the devs had done, a subset of people would have complained. You happen to be in the subset thatās bitching about what they DID do. Had they done something else Iād have been addressing someone else instead of you.
I donāt think itās good for the game or the community that we have a handful of people who adopt the approach, āLike everything the devs do or Iām going to harass you until you shut up.ā I canāt tell where some of your faces end and a devās hindquarters begin. Youād find a way to call me a jerk for complaining if the devs implemented a shop tier so it deleted all your troops instead of awarding a troop.
Iām going to āstand by my argumentā since apparently thatās the Free Citizen keyword that makes one exempt from critique: this was a joke in poor taste and that the devs havenāt made a peep makes me think it was actually a bug. I do not trust them to implement the monthly calendar properly.
Iām somewhat surprised that:
*Anyone looks at the monthly calendar
*That anyone seriously thought theyād get 100 orbs
*So many players have so low threshold for fake anger (letās be honest)
I find it odd people come to the forums to basically gripe about everything and anything. It takes away from the actual issues/problems.
Thatās a great point. More people found out about the joke due to the forums than would have ever known otherwise. I assume the calendar rarely changes. And if it does, at least not in enough of a way that makes it worth checking every month.
Itās just, from my personal beliefsā¦
I think folks were upset because for 98% of the world April foolās day was basically cancelled.
I+2 didnāt feel that way and to them fair enough.
I donāt think anyone will Rage quit the game over it.
Itās just another bad look for them during a serious of other bad looks.
Itās always easy to dismiss the forums as a small percentage of the player base. I tend to think of it like āNielsen Ratingsā though. The forums tends to put a voice on the 90% of the game that say nothing. And by forums Iām including Reddit and any social media outlets. They are all separate but equal āforumsā. Things arenāt good in the real world nor in Krystara. No it wonāt be the immediate end to either world. But itās hard to imagine the Krystara world lasting longer than a year more on itās current pace.
I could be 200% wrong. Despite 4.7 and beyond changes hurting revenue. In the current landscape, thereās just simply not a lot of disposable incomes right now to support a free to play service.
But the handful of incessant gripers who canāt stop putting their negative spin on everything, thatās perfectly ok?
There are things Iād like changed or would prefer they werenāt. Everything the devs do is not all glitter & unicorns. I just choose to roll with most of it & keep playing my game. Iāve voiced my dislike of certain changes in the past, but unlike some people on here, rarely are the changes as earthshattering as theyāre made out to be.
But the amount of stupid, petty BS they have to deal with and the no-win situations where no matter what they do theyāre evil bloodsuckers is absolutely ridiculous. Every step they take, every word they put into print, has to be carefully planned out, reviewed 15 times, then run analysis on all possible blow-backs theyāre going to get for each scenario to see which one theyāre going to take the least heat for.
And me, Iām harassing people? Me who rarely ever goes back & forth more than once or twice with anyone in an argument on here? If Iāve said what I want to say and in 1 or 2 salvo exchanges my āopponentā hasnāt given in or given up and they havenāt changed my mind, I exit the conversation (just like iām going to do with this one once iām done writing this).
Am I going to stop trying to show people theyāre blowing things way out of proportion? Nope. Or there are other players to consider besides themselves? Uh-uh. Or that theyāre being rude & obnoxious? Hell no. If iām an ass-kisser because I feel there needs to be some positive reinforcement around here then bring on the full moon & Iāll kiss it goodnight.
