Public Beta Client- Age of War Chapter 1 Update Discussion Megathread

(I also thinks the devs are likely to be proud of their work and would reasonably want people to try it out at least once so if you can get them to do that, you want it to be a good experience.)

Totally, agreed there.

@heaven13

But I also think it’s important for devs, especially in live-service games, to acknowledge that there ARE and always will be players who do not read the patch notes, who do not check the wiki, or watch youtube/twitch videos, and only visit the forums once they’d experienced a major issue they want to complain about.

Right, but after acknowledging that, then what? I understand your point, however, the devs can not handhold the current player base at every turn. The same would apply to people who purchase this video game in the future with no clue right from the beginning how to do most systems that we have seen evolve from the conception of CE. Yet, I believe we might agree that sometimes people just need to explore, try things, and learn if they will not seek explanations. Half the fun is learning.

To hopefully put your mind at ease, they are adding new challenges for these updates that will, I expect, clue our player base in on what to do or where to begin looking.

Continuing the discussion from Public Beta Client - Age of War Chapter 1 Update (2023.05.23):

@Ignasi

• New challenges are implemented:
  • Apply a Clan Emblem.
  • Build a Coffer.
  • Place 3 Small Treasures.
  • Claim a Heroic Treasure.
  • Contribute to a Coffer value over 1000.
  • Contribute to a Coffer value over 5000.
  • Contribute to a Coffer value over 10000.

I expect them to update the challenges and most likely the journey step system as they develop these new features that will aid players in-game of the changes, but we will have to wait and see.

And again, giving people something to DO with their treasure, outside of purge difficulty not only helps them manage it but also gives people who don’t ever want the purge, either now or the revamped version, a reason to even have a treasure room in the first place.

Right. I was hoping that NPC’s would be added which would sell the players not only the helpful base defense improvements but perhaps some well-designed base decor or something that would make the player feel that their wealth has purchased “grandeur” so to speak. Perhaps that can be a suggestion in the player feedback!
