Devs: Your Changes are Killing your Game

I recently came back to Pox after not playing for about 2 years. In the short few months since my return, I have noticed my collection undergo radical changes. I am using your rune forge to break down old runes and make new ones, and I find myself feeling a bit raw about having cashed in a bunch of runes for runes that I wanted, only to find the runes that I forged to be changed dramatically within a few weeks.

For example, Lich King had Surge: Skeleton, making it an important part of a Skeleton group. Now it doesn't, and it has harmed my skeleton theme. Then Boost was remade into something that is basically useless, again harming my skeleton theme. And so as I look over this skeleton collection, and a few others that I put together, I'm regretting having cashed in runes for these and I'm DEFINITELY not going to buy new ones.

I was thinking that I might buy some of the new stuff, but honestly I don't know why anyone would want to put effort into acquiring new runes when you've shown such an interest in post-release alterations. Anyway, that's why you aren't getting sales from me. If you would commit to leaving things be then I'd be happy to collect runes again, but this is just over the top and I think it's bad for your business.

 

Do you think it's an issue that they changed skeletons, or do you think they are just making too many changes in general?

 

I do not recall a time that Lich King ever had Surge: Skeleton. Checking Poxbase I dont see it in the runes recent history either.

 

He had Surge 2 up until Ronin Mid-term, I think? Maybe Coalitions proper.

 

It did at one point on upgrade choose between surge skele and surge lich

 

He meant surge lich i guess
But yeah i didnt like boost changes too, it crippled some themes suddenly

 

I never got why he had surge 2 for skeles it was ridiculously strong

 

That would be why. Dont think I ever aw him without Surge: Lich

 

sadly runes changing are a point of issue for new players, I know lots of players that quit because their favorite runes were nerfed or more usually changed to be a completely different rune.

I also know lots of players that quit because they simply can't deal with broken combo's and decks in the meta.

in the end players will quit over anything and it's impossible to make everyone happy.

 

The range on defender is better. It's nice not to have to bunch up to receive the buffs from defender. Race and class are limiting factors when you want to use defender other than that I like it.

 

It has surge 2. Immortal and tonnes of range. It was a 38 damage 'beater'

 

Remembered that skype convo we had, we went extensively over this lol, turns out I was right

 

You should view buying runes more as a subscription than as actually acquiring content. You can't expect the same runes to remain the same forever, to just buy once and then play for years.

Similarly, if they wouldn't change at all they would get massively powercreeped and you would be here complaining too. Or new runes would be added to your theme and you'd be making a thread because you'd have to invest to keep playing it in it's best possible version.

This sort of thread has no merit whatsoever other than venting your (somewhat unfounded) opinion. Pox is a game that needs constant change to function. It is unreasonable to expect to buy runes now and then to come back two years later and just pick up where you left off. The nature of the game does not allow yeah.

 

I agree whole heartedly and I think most people that play do too that changing all these runes over and over again is getting pretty tired.

 

Which skeleton champion(s) have Commander?

I can't seem to find any.

 

Pallys just have 3 sources of Commander now instead. :/
