So when is the next update? Tomorrow!

Hinted:

• Fire contribution reduction
• Accidental scrap prevention
• Vip bug with pearling your crew
• Legendary sniper nerf early to mid level (only end levels got the nerf from previous update)
• Legendary ballpark mortar buff early to mid levels (only end levels got the buff from previous update)

 

And something with guilds. Yes the hints are out there if ya search...but y not make them easy for ppl to see is what I'm getting at

 

You have to be in the right place at the right time.

 

Frankly, I'm kind of floored by the whole "summer vacation" thing. No one else seems to ever express a problem with that excuse, so maybe I just don't get it, but... how was the entire development team completely gone from the game for several months? I've never heard of a whole office clearing out for the summer as if it's grade school.

 

If small changes come, Cya later

 

....i love this game bud and nothing against y'all but really.....with the very upset community y'all have that's ur response? Give us something better than that now... u responded earlier with y'all don't wana make promises in a thread u start...whats the harm in just giving some game features y'all have thought about....things your trying to bring to the game or wanting in the game...if u can give a better reason not to post future wants and possible plains I'll drop the subject for sure, but I don't really see any good possible reason, please prove me wrong bud

 

Boycott, boycott....dont spend....dont spend...money is the only thing these companies understand.... affect their bottom dollar and there will be changes.....but you have to have the big spenders on board .

 

Well, I'm sorry, but that's how you made it sound. Even then, it's a little weird how slow development is, even with a partial team. If things would be that much faster if you guys just all cleared out for a few weeks, why don't they let you guys do that?

 

I can't speak for them but with how long this update is taking I can only hope its gona be a game changer I hope.....

 

I'm pretty sure there are things to consider about the update :
First, as Miika said, having a small team, going on vacations at intervals isn't easy to work on things. I'm sure they need to talk about those "updates" and decide. If not, each devs have a specific role.
Also, keep in mind that Android 8.0 and iOS 11 just came out. Having new APIs (codes) to integrate to the game is pretty much new to them. A lot of my apps haven't been updated for quite some time due to that. Need to conduct "field" testing and yeah. If they updated the app before those releases, they would have needed to update the game just for those APIs.
I know it sucks, i know we all want something new but they are humans. They do deserve to rest a bit as well.

The update is coming, "soon". Doesn't matter now. We know there is one. Let's just have just for the moment, respect each other and that's it.
Just my 2 cts.

Have fun everyone.

 

What he said

 

IPO Valuation. If anyone knows a thing or two about finance then you are aware that Rovio is going through a IPO. During an IPO growth and development historically tapers for a bit. Having the time to follow news I also observed that Rovio is working on multiple new AB titles (match three, bubble match, Evolution..) and keeping up with fragmentation, hotfixes, cheaters/exploiters, customer service inquiries, and their families? Last count I saw puts their employee count around 500 and their value at around 500 million. Imo, that ratio of labor to value is an indicator of a company that has a potent IP but is stagnating on growth vs potential. Hence the IPO. More money = faster growth = less rabid player base = well compensated developers. Its easy to envision but harder to execute. Wtf is my point, you ask? If you have a chance at setting yourself up for steady long term growth by adjusting energy in the short term or putting more energy behind "the next patch" mentality........one would be remiss to not find justification for a developer and their tentative "updates."

For the less inclined to read prose - TL;DR

They are holding out on "too many" releases and patches NOW because they need more money for releasing patches and new games faster a year from now. Solid growth strat.

 

there is not much hope, if you notice that among 12 developers, they are not able to remove a player banned by cheater, leaving him in the top for two weeks. And closing in a bad way a thread where we wondered why it is still there. Answering one of the developers something that had nothing to do with the thread that was about that and not about the sanction that was already in another thread.
What in summary is seen by this action that two weeks remains the same, or the global chat that looks like the city without law ... do not update in so long nothing ... does not look good.
It is a lack of respect for the player that should be the one, things like these, for that he has played and spent. Really incredible in two weeks is not fix that... So I don´t expect a game a change soon... screen shot from just now... Tpro number one ... sorry Peeelah

 

He needs to login again so in global, it resets itself. Nothing to do with devs in this case.

You need to give them the benefice of the doubt before saying nothing will change. We all want an update, the devs know that. Give them time, Oskar. =)

 

Three month have passed since last update already. And devs still can't tell us more than a tiny teaser. After three month? Really?

 

They. Have.

take it in slllloooooooooowly. Don't overdo it.

 

Believe its only been about a month and a half...yea July 14th was last update....

 

That was a balance change. And it was more than 2 months ago.
