Ok so what happened to those cat and dog test parties we had months ago that were a limited amount of damage per hit regardless of player stats? ec clubs are gonna have parties finish in under 2 mins with these stats since you seem to have forgotten about the test partiesš Couldn't you at least have implemented those permanently first??
see I thought yall would make people quick if you made 750mcs the cap but yall found a way to fuck it up even furtheršš
Love how you guys are out here preaching about wanting to rebalance the game and make it fairer WHILE IN THE SAME POST, you guys are announcing new dormates, who only benefit lcbc/high stat people. Oh and whoever came up with the "A LOT" of players are maxed out, defo needs a checkup. I can gurantee there is NOT A LOT of lcbc people. Freaking ridiculous.
I would like some clarification on whether or not this rebalance will come with cost any cost reductions to dormmates or rooms? I'm not going to appreciate spending all my cash on upgrades if theres going to be cost reductions in the upcoming 'game balance' š
I agree that the rework should have come first. A rework affects all players. More dormmates only affects the top players.
Hi everyone, thanks for all the responses today. Weāve been paying attention to it since we launched the update and wanted to address your feedback directly. We know that it feels like we did this in the wrong order, and that makes total sense. Your frustration is valid! Some of you were involved in the rebalance beta earlier this year, and we know you have been waiting for that to come out. Releasing T14 first made it feel like your feedback wasnāt heard or that balance concerns were being ignored. Thatās our fault. We should have communicated more clearly about what was happening with the rebalance development, and are sorry for creating a situation where you didnāt feel heard. We acknowledge that the timing wasnāt ideal. To give you more insight into why this happened, the dorm tower extension and the rebalance were being developed in parallel, and the rebalance wasn't yet in a state we could ship. At the same time, endgame players had hit the cap, and we didn't want to leave them without progression opportunities for an extended period. We made the call to keep progression moving while we finish the rebalance work. The timing isn't ideal, but we'd rather take the time to deliver a rebalance that actually addresses the problems we want than rush it out before it's ready. To our Beta Testers: Your feedback and the data we got from it was invaluable and we are still relying on it heavily in our rebalance work. It isnāt being thrown out, itās just as critical now as it was before we launched this update. Hereās the lay of the land: The Rebalance: Rebalancing work is ongoing! This is our highest priority now that T14 is out. We agree with you that there are pain points in the current progression. It is too hard for new players to upgrade, parties go too fast, and upgrading doesn't always feel straightforward. We fully intend to address all of this. No More Extensions: We do not intend further tower/dormmate extensions before the rebalance is launched. T14 Rebalance: T14 is going to be included in the rebalance math, so weāre going to ensure that the final rebalance will take into account the new dorm mates and progression. PVP Concerns: We hear you, and agree this needs to be solved as well. We are focused on finishing the rebalance before we commit to starting a deeper investigation into PVP, but that work is also on our roadmap. Regular Updates: We will continue to inform the community on the progress we are making towards the release of the rebalance work, along with any other updates. We really appreciate knowing where people are coming from and you all telling us about your concerns. Player feedback is very important to us and we want you all to know that your words are reaching us!
This is so diheartening. As a 10+ year player, Iām myself still struggling to get up there and Iām in ec constantly and with subscriptions. This, just makes me want to give my stuff away and quit. Cheers to the massive split in communities. No possible way we can catch up šš without having access to crap tons of money.
I see many people angry about the new tier... to put it very mildly. I know I'm not gonna be lcbc anytime soon or ever actually since I play casually mostly, not focussing on stats much so I don't really have any opinion on this. Tho I do agree with what someone said earlier about people very high in stats being able to hit basically anyone above 30mcs like why is that? I genuinely don't understand? Its like a senior bullying a sophmore which believe me does happen irl but games should be an escape from that right? Like we cannot do anything about it in real life mostly but we can here. Also a possibility I thought of: Imagine if the players who are actually completely maxed out, help with POTD and PPOTD testings. Imagine the PIMD Utopia. We'd find the parties of the day in like an hour or 2 everyday š¤ Maybe ATA could bring in a new LB like the collactathon about who hit more parties or did more damage? I do understand it'll be unfairly biased towards higher players but the tradeoff is it kinda makes the game better for everyone because of this testing would be faster? Maybe it strategically happens during CO? Just an idea though, there's a lots of kinks to work out in this one ofcourse.
Meanwhile we, as players, have checked and found out that less than 50 endgame players have reached the cap. So we are still questioning the reason for dropping T14 and new dorms. Because doing this youāre supporting only less than 0.5% of players on PIMD. Still appreciate for hearing our feedback.
This is just the ATA team saying that you released this new content to cater to the top 1%... Thanks for putting it in writing.
Trynna figure out where any of these āendgameā players ever complained about being capped š¤ meanwhile most people have been asking for a rebalance since t13 dropped. Youāre catering to the top .05% of your players and saying you donāt care to everyone else. Thereās absolutely no reason people ever need to be able to be 1b in stats. T14 should have never come out before a rebalance and personally shouldnāt have come out at all when your player base has been begging yall to fix and focus on other things.
It seems like you guys pushed T14, more dorms and a rebalance (tbd if it happens) over a concern that was brought up when T13 dropped. The excuse was it was complicated to work out the PVP mechanics of the game. At the same time, you guys had a whole year to figure out the PVP mechanics BEFORE dropping new dormmates and dorms. It feels money hungry.
Maybe try to listen instead of hearing out. I mean, what do you mean y'all agree with it and concerns are valid but still decide to not do anything to solve it? Also, y'all should do a poll every time you wanna release something at this point because the damage is done already, everyone has to suffer for another stupidity and can't even do anything with it.
It's really hard to read things at this point and try to remain positive and respectful. What I gather from the ATA response is the rest of the players don't matter besides the endgame players because they're willing to spend so much on here. Let's keep the cows happy so they keep spending while the vast majority of our playerbase is becoming incredibly fed up with us and just keep telling them we value them and their feedback....but not as much as the cows and their money. Money talks, huh? Got it. If I valued my customers the way ATA "values" most of us I would no longer have a business. If endgame players have reached the cap, that's their own doing. No one forced anyone to rush to lcbc and be the biggest stats in a tap tap game. Like that would be a weird flex in real life. There's also other things to spend pimd cash on that still help you grow in other ways like....investing in tutors.
You said a lot and said nothing at the same time. You tried to address multiple points and left us with no real useful information after all that š People need to know how the balance is expected to be before they spend o these new dormmates. Donāt let your āvaluedā players who you claim to appreciate and cherish stay in the dark like this. Also, saying no extensions before rebalance??? Was that supposed to be comforting? Cuz thatās usually an annual thing. So, are you saying the balance might take up to a year to be released? š«© Again, said a lot yet said nothing at the same time
41T for 500m mcs isnāt bad, and is actually a better deal than the T12 dormmates. Thatās not the part Iām worried about. The section about the ārebalanceā is a whole lot of words for nothing. I have a sinking feeling that itās another scheme to slash potd rewards to force players to spend more. I want to be able to have faith in ATA, but their actions lately donāt reassure me.
