LIMITED-TIME CONTENT Muscle March! šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ˜ŽšŸ”„

Iā€™m still not giving in to this response, while its nice to hear something back after 40 long pages, all these ā€œdatasā€ you talk about could completely be made up by the people who actually spend high amounts of money on this game, and you could not be ā€œgiving a shitā€ about the mass majority of players who refuse to pay 60 dollars an avatar. I donā€™t give a damn what your datas say. In what human brain is it acceptable to charge people that high for such a mess of an avi. Its quite embarrassing how the team supposibly stands behind their actions, Iā€™m not convinced at all, because at the end of the day weā€™re the ones who make the game, and no matter what your data says its still not acceptable to charge people that high, its still not acceptable to assume we donā€™t have lives to be on this game 24/7 trying to get 16k drops, every opportunity we had to gain something special without paying money has been taken from us, and the fact that you sit here hiding behind what could possibly be some made up data itā€™s irrelevant to me, youā€™re still charging 60 dollars an avi, and letā€™s not get started on those ec prices, that shouldā€™ve been a red flag the day I joined. 20 dollars for 200 ec... that can be wasted on one avi.. ONE. Its quite clear that your data is only relavant to the top 10 people in those leaderboards, and a huge fuck you to everybody else.

I commend you for being semi professional this time, an improvement from the last comments. But if you donā€™t give a **** and just a messenger, if itā€™s possible maybe a developer can address the issues brought forward by players including the ā€œmean onesā€ in a Q&A. We need more viable answers than we are trying new things according to data.

Yup! Like I said, we could be a thing that happens in the near future. We will see what comes next.

Though I know it's been tense, I really enjoy the amount of staff/player interaction happening. I would love to hear from the artist! One of my favorite threads was the one where Strange answered so many of our questions! I think parts of the player base forget there are actual humans behind the screens. Heck, I remember when I was a noob wondering if world chat was all just bots. šŸ˜‚

I personally really enjoy learning about the people and reasons behind a company, especially one I spend money with. And it's a technique I've found very profitable in my own sales. šŸ˜‰ You'd think wine would just sell itself *sigh*

We will probably have another Designer Q&A! It really depends on how yell-y people will remain to be tho after all this/during this. Nobody wants to be yelled at on an Internet platform.

OoooOOOooohhh itā€™s be super cool if you posted time span videos of the created art. I would watch the shit out of that!

This is also a fantastic idea ā€“ I'll see if the artists are willing to share their secrets.

Oh, it's refreshing to see those replies and it feels like a good start to settling things down. It sounds really interesting to hear from developers, too! A Q&A or just some more interaction to offer us more insight would be really nice, and could also be productive since lots of people here have nice suggestions. Looking forward to the next steps.

I really hope we can find a middle ground and that things end up satisfactory for both ends. Still saddens me to think that there's a possibility of these changes being permanent because they really impact a lot of people's experiences negatively, but I'm hopeful. We'll see.

This forums post has been an emotional rollercoaster. I've largely stayed quiet since this all began.

My big takeaways is that two wrongs don't make a right from both sides of the coin here.

I completely relate to those who are furious. I personally get very sad when changes occur and I write with a lot of emotion.

I hope this is a learning experience for everyone. I hope in the future an official Q&A can be hosted to take up everyone's concerns.

At the end of one of my posts, I asked for protests that are peaceful. I didn't say without emotion but with some peace taken into account.

Of course, actions speak louder then words. I think one of the best ideas I saw was spinner avatars remain spinner and Molly's corner gets some exclusive avatar bundles and maybe even some throwback avatars. I do hope to see resolution on the 16k avatars and that it isn't forgotten in all this.

Thank you for everyone's time in reading my post. I hope a resolution comes quickly.

Thank you Marcie for coming back on as well. If I agree or disagree, a developer is not required to respond to the community even if a community is asking for it. So I just wanted to say thanks as well

This is why you're one of our faves. You can speak out your disagreement and share your personal feelings regarding our content/decision-making while not allowing it become an emotional mess of verbal diarrhea (sorry for the image).

I like the idea of Molly's Corner having exclusive avatars personally, but what I like isn't going to dictate what our designers do next but this is something they'll consider! If it makes sense, so it shall be!

All that being said, watch out for the next few events and pieces of content we release. We will keep reiterating!

Oh I think that's a great idea! I think we all have seen avis that either we didn't quite get in a hunt or that were only available before we started!

Only you could do that. šŸ˜‚

I'm still going to repeat that it probably won't happen, bringing back old avatars, but never say never right? It's important for us not to devalue how the work folks have put in to earn those special avatars. Recolours are not a bad idea though...

Side note this is the highest quality gif Iā€™ve ever seen. Itā€™s so crisp.
 
Could i suggest separating the stories.., one where its possible for kcs to handle but that the mcs cannot be available to do as they will have their own story.

This could lead into yaknow others trading and perhaps making it more easier for the newer people to start off on their collections. (Cause its really fun collecting stuff... But oh so hard ;-;)

Because its really impossible for low stat members to even compete with finishing the first story as then we have to vote without even knowing the end... Ive been on for about three or so months, and i have not been able to finish the endings or even get close to an endings to the story..


Or- a complete separation of the kcs and mcs- and breaks would be nice as well to give us time, and you(ata) time to make a bomb story. Ones that we could all enjoy... I think you should try this out ^^

Yes, I realised this after contacting ATA (not sure why I would have bothered contacting them if I was doing it "to work for me) , and I couldn't find a way to delete my comments. Usually I probably would have apologised, but the fact that you
A) replied out of ALL the comments, reasonable, well written, with very good points
B) Revealing PERSONAL information which regardless even if I WAS doing this to make you look bad (which I am not, as I could happily carry on pretending "ohhh you just unsilenced me and lied" - instead yep, I made a mistake, you "caught" me) you have no right to do, to what... Humiliate? Make untrustworthy? A player who does not agree with you?

I really hope you realise how this makes you look in the eyes of a lot of people...

She doesn't care! As long as she's got her lil posse that will forever have her back, She'll always feel in the right.

I feel bad for the artists tbh. They probably feel rushed to do all these hunts which results in poorer quality of the avatars and everything. The only good ones as of late have been some of the Chinese zodiac and some of the valentine ones. But thatā€™s it. Other than that, the art of these past hunts feel so rushed. Have you seen the circus hunt avatars???

I loved the circus hunt avatars as they depicted what clowns the ATA team were.

Back to the relevant topic at hand: we're still reading the feedback and comments posted over here!

There are a lot of points being brought up and I know it's not exciting at all but our response remains the same:
Every change or adjustment that occurs ā€“ whether or not it makes a lick of sense from an outside perspective, "outside" here meaning not being internally a part of ATA/PIMD development ā€“ is done so for good reason backed by data. We trust the data and make assumptions and create experiments based off of that.

Now, if the change/adjustment/whatever else does well as defined by qualified metrics, we keep on heckin' doing it. If it doesn't and is clearly unsustainable ā€“ as some of you are trying to say ā€“ by the same barometer, we re-adjust and forge a different way forward.

That is as much of a response I can garner to address these concerns. We see you, we hear you, we'll make changes if it makes sense (based on our data) to make those changes.

This response is garbage. In what way did any data indicate that your players would pay for $60 Ugly Avatars. The drop rate is slim to none, the speed up timers are pointless if you donā€™t actually drop hunt timer boxes, you already charge an arm and a leg for keys and box cutters. What more do you want from players? Kidneys?
Itā€™s time to move on to another game, way to suck the fun out of it. Take a bow ata
