Ok, so most of you guys know me as the forum freak. You know, the one who is on forums practically 24/7. You can find me in almost in every thread, whether it's bashing on Glu, ****ing off admins and moderators, or, very rarely, providing helpful insight and tips in EW3. Anyway, I feel that I should make a thread combining all the issues that I have, and from what I have asked people.
1. Selling bug. That's all there is to it.
2. Difficulty in the original maps. Seriously. People who played beta got to buy pots with gold. Now, we have to pay with gems, and on top of that, we also have to deal with triple the hardness? I just went through legendary Thrundheim. The enemies are the same difficulty as endless floor 110-115. Don't give me that rune BS. This is simply unbalanced and unfair to new players.
3. Drop rates. The drop rates are abysmal now. Hellboy rarely drops shards and unbreakables. Out of 8-10 hours I have spent farming him this fusion tourney, I have received around 3 shards. That. Is. BS.
4. Runes! Runes! Runes! Another gem heavy concept! This idea will be less popular among greedy Glu executives, but I would love to see the combining rune thing stop. Seriously.
Low chance of failure to normal people: 5-10%
Glu's low chance of failure: 40%
Moderate chance of failure to normal people: 30-40 percent.\
Glu's moderate chance of failure: 80%
High chance of failure: DO I EVEN NEED TO SAY THAT?!
Anyway, the removing runes cost is insane, too.
I would love to see this whole "rune" thing overthrown. I don't care about anyone else. Like most people, I want it completely gone. It has messed up the entire game, and has cause countless people to quit.
6. Personal: Please bring back Jade Forest Cyclops. PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE???????
7. Start paying more attention to customers. Yes, we get that you need to make money. But there are other ways. League of Legends is insanely popular. Why? It's free to play, and you can get everything. The only thing you really pay for is skins, and from what I've heard (I don't play), they're like wings in EW3. But people still buy these accessories. So start listening to US. We're giving you money. We want a good game. There's no point in putting money into EW3 if Glu's just going to make more updates to suck it.
8. IIF. Shut up people. It doesn't help. And I asked around, and a lot of elite players think this too. Seriously. There is no evidence that it does help. In my experience, it doesn't help. In almost everyone's experience, it DOES NOT HELP. It's like the placebo effect. It gives off an ILLUSION. Sad thing is, everyone has seen the light. So I would, and many others, would like IIF to be useful. If we go into endless with 400% IIF, we would like it to have a significant difference over 100% IIF.
9. Game crashing. Inability to play. This goes out to all the guys whose games have crashed in endless. This goes out to the iPhone 4/4s players who updated.
Like a lot of people, I think this game is amazing. Well, until Glu got their dirty hands on it. But listen to us, Glu, and both sides can be happy.

I've seen over and over the request to bring back the Jade Forest Cyclops and have discussed this directly with the team. If it came back, it is highly unlikely it would come back the same way as you once experienced it.
Would you (and everyone else) still want that back, even if it were different?
Well, that's exactly my point- what if it didn't have the drops you came to expect?
Then forget about it, lol. The reason I got so mad with Jade Ronin was because of no Godly drops. It was a real downgrade from JC.
What's "fair" is a moving target with any gameplay experience or game development that happens in an ongoing manner such as mobile games. But your point is taken.
As for jc. Here are my thoughts. This is a farming game. As in you kill something over and over in order to get a prize worth the effort. If you add another boss like ronin whats the point. There was nothing to farm there outside of wings. And some people got them in 20 kills. So what is really the incentive for killing him. None. If your not going to make something worth our time then just dont add it. Itll just **** people off and start more hate threads.
Only thing i would like to add to your fixes list ultra is IIF. It should be a meaningful stat. There are numerous threads on this and i don't think i have ever actually seen it addressed by admin. I am not going to list runs, kills, how many times i ran a lvl or killed something blah blah blah. I have been playing quite awhile as most know and is evidenced by my characters. My IIF is vastly different between them all, yet, they all really get the same drop rates as the next. Now this is fine, just get rid of the IIF stat if its not going to mean anything. Or put some stock in it.
2- new level cap
2b - new items matching the level cap
re runes - they are ok, though, as has been suggested, maybe remove the elements (I know, thats a big thing) and just buff current stats.
Why doesn't Glu make 3 additional toons that require gems to unlock; Necromancer, Ranger,etc. Don't go all Glu on them and make them better than the other characters so you HAVE to buy them if you want to experience the full game. There are ways to add iems that generate revenue and I fully support the devs making good money for a good game.
I have been playing daily since the update and have not changed out one piece of gear. I have a sword, chest and boots in the bag that I can't get regs for. I am 6 skills behind because I need about 5 million to learn them.
Last two days, I logged in and went meh... Anyone who plays games knows what it means when you start doing that.
It's good to hear so positiv from forum admin.
Must admit, the past couple of days, i've really felt like that I'm trying to get these "free gems" but 9/10 of the offers i do, just wont pay out... even after screenshots (I have complained to them and it's like im always fallen on deaf ears).
Again, I too, have been playing everyday since the game first came out and now after all this, it has got incredibly frustrating and considered hanging up my gloves. I'm just a casual player. It helps me relax after a hard day. But now, well... you get the picture
tapjoy took a little while to get to my ticket but I got gems like a week after my ticket so hopefully they get to you on your issue.
The drops are what keep people going in this game. things vary a lot too like those wings on ronin which took me roughly 700 kills to get on one character. didn't even try with others. Basically we just want more than one reward for our hours spent and money. If the 44 weapon would drop from jade clops again I am sure people would farm it as long as it takes.
Runes- if we aren't going to have better drops rate on greens-purples at least increase the drops on the lesser since failure rates are high. I don't want to spend all the effort to get 5-10 lesser runes on 50 levels of endless and not even have enough matching runes to combine, not to mention the fail rate.
scaling back in the right areas will still generate the money for iap but the game will become a ghost town real soon if simple things aren't adjusted.
I don't want ideas or suggestions. I want constructive criticism on this particular rune update. And IIF seems to have been nerfed due to the fact that drop rates have been considerably lowered. I see no difference between 170% and 400% at LHB.
Welcome back to the dark side. we're glad to have you back.:)
The tower is a bit erratic with drops but overall I'm satisfied with it, minus the stupid àss ticket thing.
And on a side note concerning a new jade forest. We all hated ronin right. And for me it was mainly because he extremely rarely dropped anything over a green. I would be ok with a new jade forest without tier 8 drops. But only if it had drops equivalent to at least LHB, meaning rare drops including dpss, and new wings of course. Make it at least farm worthy for cash if not tier 8. And that goes for the other two bosses with respect to their gs equivalent bosses. Gotta give us a reason to farm other than a chance at wings you may or may not see.
Im perfectly fine with godly only being in tower now that it is much easier to run. Every place in game should have its purpose for being there. With drops unique to it. Jade forest is where wings should be obtainable, just gotta also be something there time worthy until they actually give wings stats.
Imagine if IIF wasn't a stat. Devs would properly balance drop rates and we wouldn't have to worry about a stat that doesn't help us in combat.
I think thats a good idea. Either eliminate IIF or, make it work properly so you actually have a big advantage with high IIF. side note - my (lv50) mage has with only 4 pieces of godly has 426.8% IIF. I would guess the top is around 450.
