7. From chickenpox2: when can we expect new redesigned maps? Can we get a preview?

 

First! In all seriousness, a good watch. Not as informative as I would like, but it kept my attention. New drinking game. 1 Shot evertime Senshu says "uhmm"

 

yea, you really stepped up. I asked the new players in my guild what they thought and it was very positive!

 

It's ok. I still love you.

 

The question is, what to do with the answers we got.

 

Stopped watching at "it won't be a fast process." Literally all I need to know was answered with that statement.

 

Kind of the same reaction - but still watching. Have it paused right now. I understand the community council being consulted for new rune choice and balance issues, but the maps being balance is pure mathematics. It shouldn't take more than a few days to figure out if either starting zone has a definite handicap when it comes to capping fonts and contesting middle/enemy fonts in the first stages of a game. After that's determined, how long would changing the coordinates of a font by 1 or 2 tiles take?

 

As a newer player:

Game timer: I like it as is honestly. If it was any longer, matches would be WAY to long. Single player timer is perfect also!

Time stamps in game chat: I love this idea. That would be awesome.

As a person who does have some cash to play with, I feel options are limited. I know free to play is the goal perception but for players who are willing to drop cash, options are just to limited and by limited I mean broad. I would have paid for packs that were faction specific however the current pack options are to broad, hints I used many off site options to build my deck since I didnt want to have to buy every rune in the game when KF is all I care about.

Time to crash, 2hrs of chatter wears me out lol. Thanks for posting this up @Moles1909!

 

Its info like this that the greens need to hear, obviously from their point of view it'd be much better for a new player to be spending money ON THE GAME rather than on the black market which does nothing to help fund Pox's growth. I'm sure @Senshu will take note of posts like this.

 

i agree completely with this......turn timer is fine....any longer and fw games will go from 1 hour of omg could this be any longer to 2 hours of geezuz im gonna resign cause i dont even have time to finish this game. i think the timer is fine. im sorry to those that cant complete turns in the alotted time. work on not being so slow. i was slow once too but i learned about hotkeys. it helps.

also the time stamps idea is pretty cool. i dig it.

 

anyone want to give me a rundown on the video? not about to watch all that

 

just think of it as watching a 2 hr movie
#betterlovestorythantwighlight

 

Mebe next time a script of prepared thoughtful answers?

It's good to know that you take in all of the good ideas some of the people here have though. Now just to outsource 90% of your programming

 

gosh senshu is so yummy! <3

 

RIGHT!

 

Terrible time once more.
