Where is the gold from AQ?

I really want to know that where’s the gold which we get from exploring the AQ? And if it is being removed why there’s no prior notification? And if it really happened then its time to quit the game.

We ran 544. I got a bit over 12k gold and 5k battlechips

Hey all,

This was an intentional change, but one that we let slip from our communications. It was in our Comms, but somewhere in the editing process, it went missing. I am very sorry for that. Originally, the resource return in paid maps was to offset the cost of running the Map. With the significant reduction of cost to run Maps 6 and 7, we reduced the Gold returned.

For Map 5, the Gold received is reduced from 6500 to 1500
For Map 6, the Gold received is reduced from 7000 to 0.

With the reduction in the Gold that is needed, it should already mostly balance itself out if you use an even split of resources.

Can you quantify "mostly" @Kabam Miike ? Seems like this is another anti-player move that was made without prior communication.

@Kabam Miike Any update yet on if this is intended vs a bug?

Thanks for your help!

Do u guys at HQ just don’t take us seriously at this point. U said u hav listened to us to get a better game it the op side directions

This logic is not internally consistent with either the new change or the old system. Map 6 and 7 did not reward BC, yet are extremely BC intensive to run. There was no offset there. Map 6 now provides No gold whatsoever, while the free to play maps do?

I don’t typically complain on the forums but this is absurd and an extremely bad move.

Do you guys find it difficult to walk given how often you shoot yourselves in the feet?

I get that the cost for map6 has been reduced but would allowing the player base who run map6 to keep the 35k gold per week have been game breaking when there is a general gold shortage?

In the overall scheme of things we are not talking about a crazy amount and you are correct that even if you factor in the 35k we loose from rewards then the cost is still cheaper.

However if this wasn’t communicated for this week then surely it would be fair to reinstate the gold rewards for the remainder of this weeks AQ as a goodwill gesture for failing to inform us prior to the change going live?

That’s also why we hav a so hard truste to them because ther doing those thing like that

So it is considered "balanced" for free maps to get gold back, and for maps paid by resources are not rewarded any return on their purchase of the tickets forced to enter the maps. Thanks for nothing as usual Kabam, extreme disappointment as usual.

Kabam Miike

This has always been the case. You could get Gold from Maps 1-4 before this, but there is an investment in doing paid Maps.

Why did free maps in the past give gold back?

Zuko_ILC

I really don't even know what to say anymore. I have no gold issues but many of my alliance mates do. This is just foolish. How much negative feedback do you guys need to actually listen to your player base already? I can't even help them by donating more gold anymore. Games going in the wrong direction fast.

Kabam Miike

This thread has been re-opened. We still don't have more to add, but let's keep the conversation in one place.

KnightZero

Can you describe the significant reduction in Map 6 costs? Can't see any to my knowledge.

Timone147

Im just trying to understand why the net gold cost seems to have gone up for map 6 for gold.

Before donations were 256k gold. We lost the 105k gold rewards and the figures going around are basically in the 170k gold range for balanced donations of 25 tickets from each resource. So the net loss is around 20k gold a week. This seems small but is 100k a basically a month and 1.2 mil a year. Not also to account for scaling costs.

Just don’t understand why the cost has to go up with one of the most stretched resources in game. Take more loyalty if you must but gold is already such a commodity and stretch to cover so many different areas.

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE?

This is the prime reason people are quitting the game or severely frustrated with the game. This is the prime reason there is a boycott. This is the prime reason you are losing interest among your community.

I just don't understand it. You guys make these moves that don't make any sense and implement them without communicating them to the community. It's honestly like you guys are actually trying to get people to leave.

Please share some light on why it's so difficult to communicate to us? Did Kabam let a few people go because of Covid-19? Did they cut your hours back severely where you have much less time to devote to communication? WHAT IS THE DEAL?

Buttehrs

Why on earth isnt this game like your other one when it comes to alliance quests? The other one is completely free. So why not here. Makes zero sense.

This actually makes me sick in the stomach. I wasn't fully convinced about your disconnect from the community but now I am. I'm seriously considering taking a break from this time consuming game because what this is saying is that you want us to waste our time even more on arena to pay for AQ. You've probably converted many Map 6 alliances to Map 5 cause it's free now.

MattMan

Why not take away some map crystals and catalyst fragments while you’re at it? Don’t think you’ve done enough damage to your game yet

Alienated

Man you guys just keep disappointing the community. Ill give this game another year tops if this trend continues.

OG_Luke1

So i guess you still do not understand why players don't want to try to become higher tier players cause you are always taking away rewards that are so basic. Map 6 and 7 players pay a lot of gold to open maps and now Kabam is just looking for another way to get a new edge on spending. Well done for screwing over the top tier players once again. Maybe one day one of you that work for kabam will actually play your own game and understand the frustrations of the players, but until that day comes along you just keep changing things to make every player hate the game more and not want to push for anything higher. Congrats on once again ruining a fun part of the game. Pushing me to retirement once again with your dumb reasoning. Maybe those top alliances should keep their boycott going to try and get simple things accomplished cause they are right, all Kabam understands is money. Losing interest of more than half your player base is very good on your profits.
