Could Ray have done more? Absolutely. An overwhelming number of people both on the forums and in the Kong chatrooms see Ray as some type of flawless God of developers. That's just not true. If people could hop off Rays shaft for 5 minutes, the flaws in the game are painfully obvious. Sharkhunt was 100% right when he said "Might as well call IOU R2 Games". Anyone who knows about R2 will agree after the blackhole event. As much as he claims that he tries to make IOU not pay 2 win, that event was a complete joke. It's not an accident when you put in bonus levels for spending on that atrocious of a level. Sure Yahoo hosting is terrible and most of the game crashes are out of Rays hands, but players have been more than patient with the endless months of "swapping servers soon". Eh, I believe the majority of the people probably agree with you. RE: What can be done to improve your holidays? - D11M - 12-24-2015 Just make the resting time to give you what you lost exp/gold wise when you come back.If we already have planed an offline system gains that was postponed because of all this yahoo issues why just not make a temporar improvement by raising the resting time to give you all your lost exp/gold when you come back up to 8h maybe. RE: What can be done to improve your holidays? - irrimn - 12-24-2015 I didn't read ANY of the posts in this forum, but personally I think that one of the best things you could do for us to compensate for all the downtime is get a BETTER OFFLINE SYSTEM going. Like, real offline progress or at the very least not one that so heavily punishes you for having the game closed. With all of the server outages and restarts I've probably had somewhere near a day of rested exp over the last 3-ish days which means I have been missing a lot because of all the outages. A better offline progress system could so easily make any amount of downtime not such a big deal.

Haha, who are you again bootlicker? RE: What can be done to improve your holidays? - stekkos - 12-25-2015 I have read all those comments and frankly i need to say 2 things: 1. No matter how correct you are about the delays and content updates, especially the neverending server swap, this is a gem among MMO games. It is a true f2p and Ray gives a lot. Maybe its just the greed of the other developers and not his skills that created that, but it is true. 2. It is an idle game. Things should go slow. Its the core of idle games. So even if we get behind due to crashes, we will just take longer to get nowere. There is no end goal, this is supposed to go on for as long as any of us want to keep playing. So if you have fun with the game, just keep playing. If you think you cannot wait longer because you were supposed to get some were sooner but the whatever delayed you, guess what : You shouldnt have been playing this game anw. And personal note, Ray is not a developer god, but i truly believe he is doing his best. Not the best it COULD be done. The best HE can do.

He isn't doing all he can. hes pumping sunshine like he has for months. same answers. Keep licking those boots. This is only going to go to farther negative insults, I think you guys end that conversation.= ----- You're right though SharkHunt (about what you first said) but we really don't know his personal life or the specific reason of the inability to change provider. I'd assume he kept adding content because he knew he couldn't change from Yahoo anytime soon? Why else would he of added stuff, the average person would have gotten mad if their was nothing on holidays anyway. I see what you're saying though there's lots of faults about the game… Don't really have much to say xD sry more or less just wanted that negativity to hit the dead end, and not much you can honestly argue cause it's so true.. :# RE: What can be done to improve your holidays? - CRIMSONKING - 12-25-2015 The blackhole event was without a doubt a horrible pay2win event. But, I believe that was kong and not Ray, for the simple reasoning that Ray puts limits on event packs. If he was truly greedy, he would make them unlimited but that isn't the case. IOU is Ray's business, it is a means to provide for himself and his family. With that in mind, it is understandable as to why every month he makes sure an event is released. It is a constant income of money which is fine. Logically it makes sense that he works 90% on the server transfer and 10% on events ( imo events that have fallen short from early game events). However, as players we seldom care about logic, we just want to have fun. It would make sense to only create good events and content when on the new server but the problem is is that players, especially long time players have become bored waiting. Imo the focus should shift to 40% server transfer, 50% new content and 10% events. I personally hate the instability of the current server and want stable servers asap but then I also want new content as well. Which is apparent that I can't have both. At this point in time, I rather suffer with no content until the new servers are ready. However, it is apparent that other players(majority) disagree wholeheartedly and would prefer good content on the regular vs working on stable servers. If half assed content continues to be released with Ray's intent to complete the server transfer, he should at least release weekly tidbits of content. Ex. trophy upgrades, insights to new buildings, implement challenges. Such as if x amount of monsters/bosses are killed in total by every player, the community gets x rewards via code( taken from my own game in dev ). Little things that will make the game more enjoyable week to week and will allow f2p the same rewards as a p2w because it is done as a community. In the end, as a long time player myself I appreciate Ray's efforts in developing the game and appreciate it even more that he has threads such as this that allows constructive criticism to his game. |
