UPDATE The Great Dorm Tower Update

Mori said:
Ngl the ones complaining after receiving the update are the cause of it taking so long for the rest of the community. Can you wait to submit help tickets and stuff until after everyone receives it? It’ll be easier fixing the old dorm tower stuff as a mass vs one by one if you’re all bombarding their tickets.

This is why they don’t update us anymore. No matter what some of y'all will never be happy.

Stop blaming the players for ATA’s incompetence.

They had a BETA test. You know, that thing specifically designed to find problems before launch? They had time. They had feedback. They had an absolute mountain of feedback. And apparently the solution was to ignore most of it and hope everything magically works out.

And after a flop this massive, you’d think ATA’s community managers would actually show up in the forums and communicate with the people who are, you know, actually playing the game, to try and work on a solution.

But nope. Apparently the communication strategy is: disappear for a week, release another vague PR statement that answers absolutely nothing, and call it a day.

But somehow the players are the problem? People like you who defend them are the problem.

Stop blaming the players for being frustrated when ATA gives us every possible reason to be frustrated. They fucked it up. That’s on them, not on us.

Just release the great dormflop for everybody at once and be done with it.
 
Even though we got the update we are still at a loss because of the last promo. But hey it is what it is. ATA don’t do anything but bring out new hunts and promos please and thanks.

You don’t have to reply to me with a paragraph. I’m a player too. We’re all in the same boat. Hell, I supply my server with information in regards to the update to better them and their future gameplay. Take your little attitude and direct it to something productive.

What information? The nonexistent one? That was literally the point 😂
But hey, keep sucking up to ATA. I’m sure that’s really productive 🫡
 
this is just a theory but i think they will make the invites party permanent or they will release new ec party, hard one cause of so many high stats now and its easier to finish kini cats dogs

I’ve voiced my opinion multiple times on multiple occasions in forums about the devs. I don’t support their lack of everything that’s been involved with their decision making the last few months.

There’s a coding system another player put together to figure out where players will end up after they receive the update. That’s all that is.

All I’m saying is, it’s slowing the devs when there’s numerous tickets being submitted about the slow updates, the wrong tiers implemented after the update, etc etc. Actual game announcements would come faster if players aren’t sending those tickets in — because realistically it’s slowing the whole system down on what tickets need to be answered, thus slowing down everything else.

We’ve been proven for a few months now that complaining no longer does a thing. It’s sad and disappointing, but it’s true. So yes, I’d like to open forums and see somebody’s progress or a real question vs “The devs said we’d get the update by changeover and it hasn’t hit my account” when we are all aware waves take time; an obvious example is receiving raffle rewards throughout the day and not at changeover, on changeover.

Tldr; I don’t like the devs nor do I support the way they’re moving during all of this. However, save the replies to the thread with important information to others watching. Complaining hasn’t done anything so far, nor will it do anything in the future moving forward.

The biggest issue noted here was how quickly an update was posted saying everyone who was meant to receive the update already had, which couldn't have been true as people were getting the update 12 hours after the initial post. This could just be me mis-reading here, but that's how I took it.
There was also no indication from this point when the next tier was going to get it, nor do we actually know what wave we actually fall into. People seem to be summising and just hoping what is being said is factual. Even with this knowledge, there still hasn't been anything concrete to keep people in the loop. I believe many more people were expecting the update yesterday, including me & felt deflated again when we didn't have it.

I actually don't envy the job of Devs, nor can they be completely blamed for issues arising. Testing on a small group of people, compared to thousands of people was inevitably going to have a few hiccups. The failure here was not keeping everyone in the loop & leaving most of us in the Dark for as long as they did. Even this far on, we still don't have definitive answers.
 
Please. PLEASE! Can we have a translation of what "early-to-mid", "late" and "end" players mean in this context? I mean what stats are considered in each range, since you said it's based on stats. Or if it's a mix of stats and dorms opened or dorm mate tiers or whatever, it's okay, you can say so, but please stop leaving us in the dark or just giving us vague ranges that mean absolutely nothing to anyone outside the team involved in the update rollout.
 
Where the hell is my update?! You people my STATS GOT THE FREAKING UPDATE! I KEEP GETTING UPSET AT THIS CAUSE YOU GUYS ARENT CLARIFYING NOTHING! DO A BETTER EFFING JOB AT COMMUNICATING WITH US BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE EFFING DAY WE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS GAME,I WILL NO LONGER SPEND MONEY ON PIMD YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC

I hate seeing all these later/veteran players getting treated this way. I do feel if this was how you were going to release things, either they should’ve been first or it should have taken a week as originally planned.

Lots of these players are friends and mentors to their tuts. They help them, they max their gifts for them, give them game advice, gift them furniture or Avis, etc etc, and don’t want to lose them/be stripped. Not to mention with every tut hired, these players lose max plunder they worked hard to obtain.

Here is how I look at it:

The players that were in this recent wave were already frustrated enough having to wait three entire waves to finally get theirs, with the time between waves being 1-2 weeks plus with a promo in that waiting period. And they’re early to mid game.

I was frustrated enough to pretty much quit playing after promo and a little bit before too bc seeing the disadvantage made me not want to play. It was discouraging, seeing as the 2 years I had put into my account seemed to mean nothing.

Now, translate this to someone who’s been here for 4, 5, 6 years plus and has invested tons of resources, time and effort into building their accounts as slowly as they did on the old system.

Some of them might not see a point in playing and it’ll make you lose top spenders/veterans if you continue with these vague updates that only explain the bare minimum of what we should know so we can plan accordingly.

Countless times, myself and dozens of others have asked for what we consider basic info, such as:
What are the stat ranges for each group?
Will the later groups be broken into batches like us? What is the projected date/time frame for each group to receive theirs?
What will be done to patch up the disadvantage these players are left at, stats and tuts/cash plunder wise?

However, we continue to see none of those questions answered. Why is that? A couple of those have been main points of contention and criticism ever since the initial announcement.

These are good questions your players are asking, they are showing you they are interested enough to engage and ask them in the first place. Shouldn’t that be enough reason to answer them?

Yeah 6 years here and loosing my active tuts I’ve worked hard to keep and now don’t have funds like the others who got the update sucks. I have invested a lot and am hugely disappointed and pissed.
