So we have a delay in more aq rewards and cheaper glory store but no problem pushing out harder aw maps.

Karinshi

so the things that we can be excited about, aka same difficulty with more rewards got delayed. while the things that exploit players stays, aka, node 27+28 when there is a broken champ out there you refuse to give a prober response in the first place (Domino) = harder content with the same rewards...

I see now, good priority btw, keep it up

My thoughts exactly, only stuff that's beneficial to players is delayed.

We need the extra glory to fund the harder AW.

Summoners,

Due to some overheating and performance issues that we are investigating following our 19.0 release, we will be delaying the release of our new 1-Day and 3-Day Alliance Events, our new iteration of Alliance Quests and our update to the Glory Store.

We do not currently have an ETA for these new Events and Alliance Quests, but will let you all know as soon as we have more information regarding their release, and the results of our investigation surrounding our 19.0 release.

We apologize for this delay.

Dear, why not return with the previous version until you found a solution to the problem?

Why can’t you make stuff in the glory store cheaper now? I get the logistics behind events and whatnot but change the prices and be done with it.

Too bad you don’t delay also the new changes to AW.
New miniboss/nodes SUCKS!

Please lower the cost of L3 and L4 potions since AW is the focus now... especially with a long wait until the next AQ season.

So, while we didn't lower the Cost of Alliance Potions themselves, we are giving you more Glory, and you can use that to purchase Alliance Potions if you wish. I know this isn't exactly the same. Personally, I prefer to use my Glory on Rank Up Materials, but the choice is always yours.

So if im understanding correctly we are not getting milestone rewards anymore instead we are getting all milestones on day 5 which is going to make it harder to get the specific catalyst type we need.

Thats all I can come up with without being banned from the forums this is very laughable

If any business course in the country is currently advocating enabling new features in a widely deployed software system build that shows instability and functionality problems on the margins soon after deployment, I would recommend getting a refund on your tuition and using the funds to set the campus on fire.

@Kabam Miike when are these changes taking place? Because my phone is still overheating.

Hasn't most updates been bugged with some nearly unplayable content in this game throughout it's history? At least that's what most long timers tell me so I can't confirm it.

Come on, you are not GroundedWisdom! Calling these new features is a push, at most enhancements, specially the glory store update! Meanwhile the AW map update is on... I'm sure there is a good reason for such delays, yet I can't understand how these may interfere, a more detailed justification would be appreciated!

GroundedWisdom

Well since you used the Batcall....

The changes require a stable Build. They are likely working it into the Update that addresses the overheating issue. Any Dev would likely consider it prudent planning regardless, to ensure that things are running as optimally as possible before introducing changes that affect mass Rewards.
In fact, that's one of the most common complaints. "Why don't you fix A before releasing B.".

Come on, you are not DNA3000! Changes were introduced today that affect mass... profit! I'm sure there is a good reason for such delays, yet I can't understand how these may interfere, a more detailed justification would be appreciated!

GroundedWisdom

What changes were introduced today that affect mass profit?
There's not much to detail. It's been said that they need a stable Build, and it's just common sense to wait with everything going on that they're trying to resolve.

There have been many times in the past when activating new features, even apparently innocuous ones on the surface, caused significant problems with both clients and servers (like, almost every time). Although Kabam has often moved forward with their scheduled updates regardless, that doesn't make it the safe or reasonable thing to do in general. And if someone is teaching otherwise in some MIS course somewhere, I am deadly serious that I'd like to know who and where, so I can try to talk them out of a career in academia. It just makes my profession look like it is filled with more idiots than it already is.

My mistake. You meant the changes to War, that you view to be for profit, when in actuality are the direct result of people complaining the Map was too easy. Perhaps I didn't think of it because I'm not of the opinion it's all just to milk the Players.

Those changes have been scheduled for some time now, and were already set in motion. The aforementioned changes have a tentative date, pending the issues being resolved. That much has been stated from the onset of announcing them. Considering they have more control over holding off with it, that's the wisest choice.

Many of them have been, far more than I find acceptable anyway. And if there exists a business school that teaches that once you've screwed up enough times, might as well keep going, I am unaware of it. Maybe they started doing that when they changed grade school math.

You have missed the point... twice! Out of curiosity, why do you always brag about software engineering knowledge? You certainly know that many in the community are on same "field", and there is always someone who know more/better... Honestly, I enjoy many of your community interactions, yet being a very experienced software engineer (and architect) myself, working at a highly appraised core dev team, have to note your recurrent brag as something you should really nerf. Please take it as constructive criticism.

You can paint it as you want, some changes were activated, other changes weren't, I don't understand why and I had my share of 6 months profiling and hacking Android kernel so my (most probably faulty) Nexus 5X wouldn't reach up to 70ºC running the game! Now imagine who doesn't know a thing about the matter, oh wait you are not DNA3000...

The fact that you find statements about fundamental operational best practices to be a "brag" suggests to me the value of those appraisals are suspect. However, if you feel you have some superior knowledge of the subject you feel compelled to educate me on, I'm perfectly willing to have that discussion off-thread.
