3 of my friends in Kong who has 10k+ idols have also left the game due to boring... There's no point in farming anymore. New Crusader doesn't solve the problem of boring.

So yeah, without rebalance idol farming speed or update idol shop, this game is not worth playing. Even though all other aspects are better than most idle game out there, the most important part that keep idle game relevant is excluded.

Hi Everyone,

We are working on the Idol Shop. We realize it's a big piece of the game that will help make it more interesting.

We just want it to be as good as it can be. It's not something we can turn on tomorrow with a piece of code though. It takes time to develop it right.

Erika,

We look forward to the Idol Shop, and we know it will take you all some time to do it right. I think two things might help keep people interested. Some sneak peeks as to what we might expect from the Idol Shop, and perhaps an estimated date of implementation. Is it one month away, or one year.

Thanks!

I agree that the early/low game suffers from being boring .

i would make all characters open and lvl1 free on each new cycle , possibly even in the first playthrough .

then i would allow players to travel to any stage up to the max they have reached from any playthrough . this would allow ppl to jump up to where ever the action really starts for them . *use 2 flags* .

you will still need to grind to handle the deeper stages . it might be fun to hop through the bosses trying for chests while leveling and approaching your wall :) .

it would be a bit faster and less irking on recycles . from personal exp the game is currently about 30 minutes of doing nothing and auto progressing then start leveling . with changes i could jump to s40-50 and actually do stuff .


tldr it is super boring grinding through those low value early stages over an over an over . it would be awesome to be able to skip forward .

You seem to be familiar with other CNE games, from your experience, when can players expect the idol update, taking into account the usual pacing of their games

and why is it 2018

The point is, it doesn't matter. The same people complaining they're bored now will just grind through the shop as fast as possible then come back here and complain about boredom a couple weeks later.

Firstofall the game is beta so you can give solutions to problems and maybe they will be fixed. On the other hand it's a beta where you can pay already, what is like those "early access games" on steam...

But, what I want to say is that I think there are 2 things "boring"

--> First levels after reset
--> Useless crusaders

The first levels could be speeded by the option to jump to a certain level (i.e. 100) - but with the disadvantage that you get no chests.

Those useless crusaders...well.
For me, I have always a very similar formation which is build around the Hermit, who is the strongest crusader with 39 EP and rare/epic/rare gear. In front of him Sasha, in the same row kaine and jim, behind him artaxes, anywhere around him khouri and added with jack and panda for gold and pete + princess for another extra dps.
I have King, Merman and Merci with 3 Epic gear - but they are a lot weaker. Sometime I thought Sarah could be stronger, but no...I was wrong there.

So basically it's always the same, try to get the max out of hermit for DPS with maximum of gold.

The big question is: How can this be changed?
I think every crusader needs "an advantage", i.e. a crusader could

-> slow down bosses
-> slow down "fast" enemies
-> weaken slower enemies
-> speed up the spawn of enemies
-> speed up enemies in general
-> slow down enemies
-> make quests appear quicker
-> increase the chance of chests in boss-replays as long as he is ALWAYS in the formation

Another way would be to adapt the "bench" thing. Jim OR Hermit. Werewolf OR Kaine. Princess OR Panda...maybe.

I'm just guessing around, maybe it's something, maybe not. But just don't say "I'll leave the game"...make the game better.

If it takes you 41 years to learn one thing you should have focused your time one something more useful

babies, throwing tantrums, I'm taking my ball back, exhibitionists, social media types who tell everyone everything even bathroom trips, basically.

I like the game. It was fun for a while but it has gotten boring... like any game. No big deal. It's ok to post about it. Some of you are just internet trolling bitches, though. Good job on the game, Codename! I look forward to more stuff from you.
