Hey Summoners!
Disney Sorcerer’s Arena has been in Beta for 5-months and we just wanted to say thank you for all of your feedback, words of encouragement, and passion you have shown our game.
While we will continue to answer questions on the fly, we’d like to do something more organized and visible.
In the comment section, please leave us any questions you want, it could be game or non-game related. We will do our best to get back to you in a timely fashion. We will most likely have to track down the person who can best answer the question, so please allow time for answers to start popping up.
Please note, if we don’t answer your question, it’s not that we don’t like you, but as we are in a Beta state and constantly adjusting things, we may not be able to answer the question at this time.
Ask Questions Phase: 7/29 – 7/30
Answer Questions Phase: 8/2ish
As a personal request, please keep your questions clear and concise I know we all enjoy writing paragraphs (myself included), but short and sweet is recommended.
Comments
1. Meathead and Dev’s - What’s your favorite Disney movie?
2. Same audience - whys your favorite mobile game?
3. Is there a potential to do crossovers or events for other Disney owned properties such as Fox and Marvel characters?
4. Will there be syncing with Facebook or google?
5. How long can we expect to see events repeat themselves, will there be a standard rotation?
Thank you for creating such a fun game and thank you for your time.
1. Are there plans to make Zurg available? Theres been two whole months of Toy Story content and he was nowhere to be seen!
2. For Arcana, was there any system or plan when matching characters and colors?
It all seems very random!
3. For future events, could you do a write up of what we can expect in regards to money/gem/event currency packs during the event? I personally would prefer being able to prioritize when it will be worth going all in.
Forgot one!
4. Any chance you'll be doing normal Arena "tournaments" like the Dumbo one again, or were they deemed too easy?
Arcana? Too much of an advantage given to the character that is strong vs weak. Please adjust.
Passholder gold costing $$. Please don’t switch to this. The disadvantage is huge and currently the work around to get purchases is difficult for those playing beta from countries not yet available in.
Token shop. Any way that the characters that show up in here are only ones not easily available elsewhere?
that’s all I got for now.
What’s your favorite Disney Movie?
My favorite Disney movie is Robin Hood, has been since I was a little one.
What are some of the other Developers favorite Disney/Pixar Movies?
No surprise here, but members of the team said, The Lion King, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Moana, Mulan, Frozen, Zootopia, Finding Nemo, Alice in Wonderland, UP…honestly the list goes on and on and on. We have MANY Disney and Pixar Geeks on the team!
Is there a potential to do crossovers or events for other Disney owned properties such as Fox and Marvel characters?
We are solely focusing our energy on all things Disney and Pixar! These universes keep us very busy and there is so much potential for us to work with.
Will there be syncing with Facebook or google?
We don't currently have plans to support Facebook as an authentication method, but we are planning to allow account linking across devices and platforms. Details TBD
How long can we expect to see events repeat themselves, will there be a standard rotation?
We are still settling in on events and their cadence, so we don’t have a rotation planned yet. We do want to bring events back out, like you are seeing now with our Aladdin event. We have been excited to see people play and enjoy our live events, that has been very rewarding.
Are the PvP modes at a state where the team is happy with them, or should we still expect them to change?
Expect changes large and small across all aspects of the game, we are dedicated to creating a fun experience and we will continue to implement and update modes or create new ones.
Is the team willing to give the community any participation in say, future character release?
Community feedback is something we value, and while we have no plans at the above-mentioned style of character development, we are always open ears to characters you’d like to see in game. We really like it when a character we’ve either chopped or didn’t think of comes up and gives us more of a reason to try and build a kit that makes sense for that character.
As much as we’d also like to make characters for the sake of making characters, making sure new characters serve a purpose or have a reason for being created will definitely push a character’s timeline ahead of another.
Are there plans to make Zurg available?
We do have plans to make Zurg available, but nothing we’re currently willing to disclose. There are also many other characters we look forward to you seeing as well.
For Arcana, was there any system or plan when matching characters and colors?
It all seems very random!
Yes, Arcana was given to specific characters to keep certain teams together for some upcoming feature plans.
Will Character rebalance happen?
Yes, characters will be constantly monitored and adjusted accordingly. Balance is no easy task, when one thing gets adjusted it can alter multiple things around it. Though you feel we may not be looking at a specific character, I assure you, we are 😊
What is the plan for the Token Shop?
Token Exchange will go through a redesign in the future.
For future events, could you do a write up of what we can expect in regard to money/gem/event currency packs during the event?
We will do our best to improve our communication of value you get with our packs and limited offers, as well as how events are meant to work. Our goal is to be as clear as possible and we will keep working on this.
Are there current plans to have more live PvP or tournament style game modes?
We are constantly looking for and thinking of ways to engage players and come up with new and fresh ways to do so. While we don’t have anything we can share now, know we are actively thinking about “the next thing.” That being said PVP is very important to us and it is safe to say we will look for ways to keep you excited about the mode.
Most obvious case is in summoner's challenge. Gold reward is between 22 - 130k. More often i only received 22k upon winning or some combination that i swore i have seen before - eg: 58264 or something ( will take a screenshot next time ). There are others hundred of thousand probability! Not just those few
Also tested with buying a pack booster and it says chance between 10-330. Maybe its just my sh*tty luck but 95% of the time they only gave me 10 😂 , once it gave me 15 but thats it. Please have a look and fix
For the Summoner’s Challenge, there are only 5-6 possible payout amounts. 22k is the lowest, 130k is the highest but there isn’t an equal probability between them. The ones I specifically remember are 22k, 44,440, 66,665, one around 75k, and I think there’s one in the low 100k’s but I’m not certain on that.
As for the packs, again there are a set number of predetermined amounts in each pack. It doesn’t say anywhere that there’s an equal chance between them. Certainly the minimum amount will be the most common amount to get and in my opinion when you are purchasing a pack, you should count on the lowest amount and treat anything you get beyond that as a bonus. Your luck isn’t poor, that’s how the pack are designed and it’s like that in just about every gacha game.
In Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes there's no voice for the characters, but that's another situation. Disney/Pixar movies have a strong voice impact becouse they are narrated for being animated movies. Mute actions makes me feel empty during gameplay and that's so sad. Just some small quotes in the collection menu and in some key spells and skills would fix it.
