Losing its luster

A month ago, I wouldve rated this game five stars, despite some glaring deficiencies. The latest update, however, shows that the developers ignore player input. Unlike the farming and strategy elements of the original game, the update consists of resource gobbling underwater areas that take forever to build, then simply disappear.

The update follows a special event that used up many green stones, leaving many players completely depleted. The update requires dozens of those green stones to move beyond a few levels. If players are unable to generate enough magic, the session will end and the resources they used those green stones to make will disappear. New players will be harshly impacted when they are unable to progress in the main game because they dont have the green stones they need to upgrade buildings and increase magic to open new areas.

There are many ongoing technical issues with this game that need developers attention. These are communicated frequently through the game forum, the FB page, and the submission of tech support tickets. Those continue to be ignored in favor of an update that has players leaving the game in droves. I dont know if the developers have a sadistic streak or are simply clueless.

The greater irony is that players are waiting to complete building a palace and holding on to hard to get supplies to do so. That was the logical next step in the game. Instead, developers created meaningless, boring busy work that most players have already abandoned.

If this game is going to keep its head above water, developers need to change their focus to once again provide players with an enjoyable experience.
