LEGENDARY STORE

[KrispyCrame]

Thanks for getting this up so promptly. I do not see the RQ2 Pioneer in the lineup of 300. Does that mean it has been switched to the 100?

If it is, they owe me 200 tokens!

The shop is now working stably.
It's time to release military artifacts for 100 tokens

Well part I don’t get is say your releasing them all then all should be released. Even ones just released (Koo-I- diamond ) and the 100 tokens ones

Aww I figured it out yall been in my Trees and forgot how many artifacts have been released in game to date. Yea I know my trees have that effect on some folks. Don’t try my brownies than yall might might actually make water pipe defense war legendary hehehehe

Update, you should expect to see the 100 Token Main & War, and 300 Token Main to arrive as early as 10am ET Tomorrow. Which means mostly all of the Legendary Artifacts will be available!

Not to be negative but...

Do you have any information on what the upcoming "rebalances" might entail?
I haven't played in weeks because of all the... "profit taking" (for lack of a more civil phrase)... I'm trying to regenerate a little enthusiasm for DomiNations but I have to say: If I spend Tokens I've saved for months on (for example) the British Kettle Drum and then a week or a month from now you "rebalance" (i.e. nerf) the (for example) Mongol Coalition I'm going to be pretty upset.
I would have to think that might be it for my interest in Domi.


Expecting the usual "no comment" comment but I had to try....

To speak candidly, and I won't divulge anything further than this reply. I'm unsure if you've experienced other games like ours, but this is how live service games work.

Over time, things get added or removed from a game, which means things need to be adjusted across the board at varying times and maybe not even all at once. Things that were paid for, things that weren't, things that took time for you to obtain, it all varies based on the direction of the design and intent.

Does it suck? Yes, that's completely valid. But that is the nature of the beast that is a game like ours, even for some of the most successful games.

An MMO Game you started 10 years ago certainly doesn't play the same today as it did back then. An RTS that came out 15 years ago plays differently today than it did then. But the constant in ever-evolving games is that when things get added or removed, sometimes, the way you play can get better or worse, and you'll need to adapt accordingly.

When it comes to adapting in our game, we recognize that it's not the easiest thing to do, and it just doesn't feel fun. This makes the necessity to adjust things in our game feel dreadful for players on occasion. We want you to have the freedom to try new strategies and tactics whenever you'd like, but unless you've prepared for every possible scenario well in advance, the grind to explore the maximum potential of any strategy is not as satisfying as we'd like.

So, to answer your question, do you spend tokens on BKD now or later? Well, BKD is always in the store until you decide to pick it up. But it's impossible for us to say, "We'll never rebalance (or change) X." while DomiNations continues to change and grow.

Someone is obviously not too familiar with City of Heroes (2004)...

I get what you're saying.... I understand and accept it.
But I also feel there is a difference between a gradual change/rebalancing and offering an item for sale that effects a particular type of troop and then nerfing said troop a week or two later...
A lot of folks were unhappy with BHG because of the Fighter nerf/"bait and switch."
I'd just like to avoid such a reaction again.

Oh well... I guess (as the old saying goes) "Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances."

So it looks like rollout on this was flawed and only the main 100 is showing???

Sure was, they’re pulling them back to try and figure out what is going on. Apologies for the runaround here.

Perfect example city of heroes, that same principle applies up to the point that it ceased operations. Although they have a community run server since the game shut down. Or we can go as far back as ultima in 97 and neverwinter in 91. Although earlier MMOs didn’t have the constant updating that more recent ones did, expansions weren’t really a larger thing until compact disc era, Doom kinda but not in traditional sense.

@Harlems369th any prediction about the 300 tokens Main ?

@Harlems369th
Would the devs consider a change to the legendaries in the showcase in the form of allowing 2 attributes to be ticked, one for offense and one for defense?
This would allow artifacts with both O & D boosts to be utlised without needing to switch when we're about to log off or go to battle.
Another option would be to have loadouts for this but I think that would be much more work involved compared to a simple 2-tick set-and-forget option.

I just swap from defence to offence before I log off - takes about 30 seconds.

You mean from Offense to Defense?
And what about those players with lots of artifacts? I presume they'll be happy not switching all the time.
Anyway, seems like a nice QOL improvement and one less thing to remember - or in the case of some players, 30 or 40 little things to remember.
But not to worry, I'll ask bhg to not implement this for you.

Yes, offence to defence, or visa-versa if you are going into attack mode. I think BHG is having enough troubles at the moment, so let's just enjoy the Showcase while it works - I'd rather they fix University speed-ups first.

And I have 17 artifacts in my Main Hall Showcase, and I can swap without too much stress.

Good for you!

 

[SPUUUU9]

I would love a feature like that - to enable a deff and a off line for the showcase or a setup to switch between off and deff... I am just missing 4 artifacts and I do not want to click every artifact for a potential switch...

Any news for the missing artifacts like Mühle Spiel or the koh-i-noor diamond and the mold cap and Nike von samothrek? I already read another post where it was written that the lewich statue is not a real artifact so I am just missing the 4 mentioned... Any news if they will be available in the store as well?

[Parmenion]

Thanks for getting the legendary store fixed in the end. A nice addition to the game and it's good to have better access to legendary artifacts.

I went on a spending spree yesterday and I'm pleased with my purchases.
