What a lame excuse. There will always be noob players in the game. So does that mean we will never see super pro parties again?! Bullllllllll!!!

I agree, Cat Cafe should also be removed since this feature is clearly being abused.

Oh and ATA I forgot to mention I didn't even bother reading your long excuse because frankly anything coming from you nowadays is deplorable and forcing myself to read that would be torture.

They probably took it away cuz ever since super pros came out people haven't spent as much money on the game for cats

-iXanTheCharteredPilot-_- · Aug 19, 2016

Loyal player but had enough of ata being money hungry, they think we are fools cas they want us to believe it's to fair up the game no ur precious cats stopped ruined that but hey keep lying. It's ok to increase drops and sell to bias the game but HELL NO U CANT EARN IT. Ata is all over money hence the daily top to get people to spend cash that's a prejudice against people who can't spend loads on a stupid game people can buy cats dn and prejudice rich against poor and they can gain and buy all top tier awards and all the rewards they like but no super pro isn't allowed ur all a bunch of lying hypocrites #ataaregreedy

We finally get a change to the game that the majority of the community is happy about, and then you take it away.

You claim it's for the good of the community, yet the community as a whole disagrees. Even the smaller players, the ones you claim were getting hurt from super pros existing are upset they're being removed. Super pros gave them a goal to work towards! You just removed their goal. Good job.

I remember once upon a time when you wanted to bring the smaller players and bigger players together you released a new version of a hunt where lower stat players only got certain items, and higher stat players only got certain items, so they had to trade with each other to complete. If you really want to have the players interact, give us an event that encourages interaction instead of a hunt that encourages flashing cats and cat clubs which are really what has torn apart the community. It's no longer about helping one another to complete events, it's about hitting as many cats as you possibly can.

Azza · Aug 19, 2016

Yassss!!!!! Something new!!!

Oh wait

JerseySunShine · Aug 19, 2016

Since Super Parties are now discontinued, please change the max item drop quantity on those drop items. It is not fair that some people were able to have 2 or 3 before you implemented a max quantity of 1.

Oh said:

can you elaborate on the "negative impacts" aside from revenue?
Click to expand...

We monitor a number of different metrics. We track the number of every single party started, the number of players participating in them, and the overall progression of players. We can’t give out exact numbers, but a change in any of these can lead us to look further into if a design choice makes sense.
Click to expand...

You mean there were less parties started when we were running 6-9 hour parties instead of 2-3 hour parties? Shocker, who could have seen that coming.

Let's be real here - if it was an experiment you should have said as much originally. "We're going to try these out for a while and see how they go" instead of "they're here to stay!"

Regardless of what you told us originally though, you're removing the ONLY change you've made in years that was actually WELL RECEIVED by the community. We clearly enjoy this new aspect of the game, with many older players saying it breathed a little life back into the game, and now you're removing it. You are basically giving the community the middle finger.

How about you actually listening to your community!? Start giving us some of the things we've been asking for forever... including iwars/beta wars, new rs gifts, new store items, pvp promos, different hunts (yes the pins hunt was different but the rest are basically the same). You want your lost revenue back? Give us a reason to spend money on this game again
Click to expand...

For Beta Wars, please see my earlier comment in this thread.. In short though, as much as some players want them, the turnout when we bring them around isn't enough to sustain them.

For RS Gifts, we can definitely look into this. It's been far too long since we've added some.

For Store Items what kind are you thinking of?

For PvP Promos, what would this look like to you? What would it have you do and how would it work?

For Hunts, we've tried different formats. Pins were one, as are colour battles, daily leaderboards, and experimenting with different methods to obtain avatars/rewards.
Click to expand...

You've tried different formats, but you do the same format over and over until you run it into the ground. Instead of taking the 20 different hunt styles you've come up with and rotating through them.

And you deleted my other comment so I'll make a couple points again.

1) why did you lie originally and say they were here to stay if they were always an experiment only?

2) You still haven't given us a valid reason besides your revenue drop. Obviously when parties are 6-9 hours long there will be fewer of them started than 2-3 hour parties. That's an absolutely ridiculous number to cite. As for a drop in the number of people partying, this last hunt was awful. Some enjoyed it but to most the avi's were hideous and the pins pointless and do nothing but make our showcase and gift screen a mess. This has nothing to do with the existence of super pros, and since more were added before you took them away, i'm guessing this problem is more recent.

3) this is the only major change you've made in years that was actually well received by the community, and you took it away, what kind of message do YOU think that sends your players?

I seem to recall seeing a conversation between the devs and a former mod from a year or so back:
Basically, it was stated that forum users represent no more than 5% of the community and are irrelevant for determining game strategy or direction.

So, if those who actually give verbal input are not heard, the lesson is: success is measured by income. Period, end of story. If the game is profitable, it is a success.

Mario, I'll give you this - you're here facing the firing squad, but you're also limited to the company message. There is plenty of knowledge to which the players aren't privvy. What you have no doubt seen, time and time again, are angry messages like this, a brief drop in income, and a gradual return to normal levels. The frustration wears off and life goes on.

But the message to the community is, we aren't considered. We are means to an end, not the end in itself. You've built a game on top of a social platform, and the danger in a social game is, a bad word travels a LOT more than a good one.

The new look was widely panned and we eventually gave up. The spinner is ridiculous and the odds are worse than Vegas - which is costing you passive ad income. Hunts are geared toward flash CC, which means lower income players are simply not as important to your business as the big spenders. (Shocking, I know)

You've set up a pay to play system that has removed the challenge and the strategy and replaced thinking, networking players with big spending whales. That is why your veterans are fed up.
