--> In place of yet another deleted post of mine.

 

It is quite funny lately, some lovely folks around here seem to get quite agitated whenever I refer to "circus" or "clowns", though I do believe these terms are rather mild really, but whatever.

 

If only you could be so active and energetic and HONEST with whatever player base still exists out there and at the same time actually try to do something POSITIVE for once for this once lovely little game, that would be truly amazing, wouldn't it.

 

Instead of trying to delete every little piece of truth and hide it from the "new generation" of players you got, while some "veterans" are surely still around, most completely disillusioned (deep in their heart), even if they don't openly admit it. I am sure most if not all the "vets" know it ALL.

 

Ah well, you can only do so much really, and the only thing you can actually hurt is what is left of this game and certainly not someone like me, who for years gave my time and best effort and best support into Requiem, only to see it go the way it did.

 

Somehow funny how current admins believe some of us "old players" are full of spite and are here only to troll or whatever - you keep up the good work indeed. It is indeed the most sad part of the situation in recent times, instead of actually trying to maybe listen to what people have been trying to say for YEARS and in truly good faith, and for one and only reason: better times for THIS game.

 

You really think players who made Requiem a true part of their lives for years, actually enjoy to see it fail in any way? Personally, my greatest joy would be to actually one day return to Requiem, and yes, find it as it was and in a BETTER shape.

 

But this isn’t happening any time soon, not as long as you continue this disrespectful path and policy, despite all the attempts you make to try and paint a happy picture.

 

These words also mean no disrespect to anyone, but hey, I personally have this little “moral” in my life, to treat people as they treat you.

 

To conclude, in the very remote chance some of you people still in charge actually do care, perhaps you should make some better and true attempts to get closer to your players, old and new, show some real points of communication and ACTION, show a few signs that players do mean something to you – it can work wonders.

 

Or just continue with the “current state of affairs” and completely broken communication (for starters). It never worked and it never will, not here not anywhere else. It only leads to demise. I would like to hope you don’t really want this. Then again you can do as you will and silence any voice of concern (or even disagreement) any way you see fit, you are the “boss” after all and us players just guests.

 

And as for me personally I did have my great times in Requiem and will always cherish them, so you could say I have nothing more to lose here, except for more sadness and disappointment, so be my guest and proceed with your "punishments" if that would mean something to you.

 

Do have a nice day indeed.

I would like to say, I am here to make comments in spite. However, I do not wish for this game to fail. I am of the same mindset. I would like to return to this game.

The problem is I cannot logically think why I would want to return to a game in this state. I want it to improve to atleast the state it was in before Helium took development control.

All they accomplish is that People gonna post their Critic instead of here on other platforms like Twitter, Face-book, YT & other Forums like Twitch in general.

 

Critic will always find a Way to express itself, special if you are accustomed to suppressing it like it`s here the Case.

 

I really wonder if they truly think this gonna work out in the long Term.

Giving it to Helium was not the worst idea, giving it to him with little to no resources available to hand was.  Not to defend Helium too much as some of the changes I have not agreed with but he needs a project manager or a better one.

Helium is not a bad guy at all, i just believe he has been "promoted" as Requiem Developer without having the knowledge, experience or training. 

 

There is no funds to expect that we will get more than Helium. 

 

Looking at this company from an outside point of view (not a matter of fact). The warpportal "team" have a meeting every week, where you would assume they talk about developments and what they see for the future of there game's, discuss development schedules. It would seem like in these meetings there is a certain amount of pressure put onto GMs to keep producing new materials/updates, which would explain why we have had several new systems and the Darkest armour was pushed out fast without testing. The Darkest "armour" was actually the last and fastest stage of that game update, the rest of it was "coming" for many many months.

 

Thinking about these meetings, it appears that the "boss" just found out that we were actually getting 72% forges and informed our GM that this should be reduced. Why do i think this? (not facts) When the new forge system was introduced, Helium stated in a livestream that 72% was never supposed to be permanent, wait what?? not supposed to be permanent, but we have been having this forge rate for over 3 years, very often. 

 

I believe the "boss" can assume that because of this high forge rate, this could be a reason for the profit of requiem dropping. Ofc we know as players this isnt true, yes we were spoiled and probably having 72% forge rates so often was a really bad idea but turning this around NOW with a low player base is not the right answer.

 

I personally sent Helium a long list of alternative ways they can make money in game without reducing forge or effecting imbalance in such a huge way, this list which Helium did read involved things like new pets, sealed stats and hp (same as u get in td), pve pets and more but all Helium said about the list is that it is just the same as what he has just done. (Basically on same level as adding higher reinf xeons) which ofc it is not but while Helium is not even prepared to think about community suggestions we have no hope.

 

As Ninn said and as i know from people i still speak to, old players would like to come back to the game but with the current forge system and additions to cash shop, the completely unbalanced armour and the "dead" battlefields, why should they, when other games offer much more and mostly make profit from premium and cosmetics.

 

When Helium added atmas to premium dungeon it was a good boost, giving people reasons to buy prem once again but Helium has done a complete 360 and made "atma farm" pretty much useless.

What reason do people have to buy prem now? people would buy it when atma farm was useful or when battlefields actually run. Premium is a huge part of other games, giving many aids while leveling or items that can also be gained with pve/pvp. In requiem no reason to buy prem now.

 

I would like that instead of CMs just deleting our posts, why not share the important issues and the real feelings from players, why do you have to hide that players are upset or angry, you need to show this to helium and his boss. 

If any company had a problem in there work place in which customers were not happy and continously complaining, it is my duty to take they issues to my boss, so we can improve the service and keep our customers coming back.

Listen to your community and your customers, we are your testers, we can tell better than anyone.

 

 

Bare in mind this is my personal feelings and opinions with influence from some of the community.

With the introduction of level 89 player boosts why buy premium, there is no real reason to grind away with premium anymore. It seems there is more focus on level 90 than any other content.

I highly doubt many people have put money in this game since the forge system was changed, i'd assume there was another drop in income from game.

Hello Everyone! 

 

I have noticed that within this topic there are many concerns regarding recent topics. Please know that we never want our players to feel as they are being censored or silence; we want to hear your feedback/opinions and have constructive, productive discussions with our community. 

With that said there are still rules that must be followed while posting on the WarpPortal forums. I would like to encourage everyone to take some time to review them even if you believe you are already familiarized with them (Forums Rules of Conduct).

 

If you are ever unsure about something you want to post you can always PM me with your questions. On the other side of the coin if something was removed or edited you can again contact me via PM and we can discuss and review any concerns. 

 

As much as I would like to leave this topic open for further discussion it does violate the Rules of Conduct and so will have to be closed. Again if you do have any questions regarding any posts please do not hesitate to contact me via PM and I would be more than happy to discuss any concerns with you, or pass any opinions/feedback you may have to the Requiem Team.
