A take on innogames gamedesign philosofy lately

[SwedishBlueCheese]

Innogames has decided to kill off the game with their updates it seems im herefore gonna go ahead and count up how many in my way
A) good updates
B) bad updates
C) QoL updates

it has been the last year

Starting with

Feb 18 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7134406

A way to search your village notes. In my way this is a nice QoL update but nothing important. Here they also added so you can use multiple res packs at once which is another QoL.

Only 2 bugfixes with one being about april fools. nothing else.

New Quest system that was absolutely shit at release, im gonna rank this as good update because this infact was what the community has asked for
Some minor shit that doesnt matter as ingame message when a world is won and gifting pp makes a report. Not worth to rank as a QoL imo.

5 bugfixes that didnt really do anything

July 15th 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7141395

Release of the attack planer that was a fucking joke that no one has ever used since. some bugfixes. Marking this as a bad update

July 29th 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7141793

Only bugfixes

August 20th 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7142338

Bugfixes and now they "FIXED" endgame. None of those fixes actually did anything. For example it made low point players defending rune vills nerfed, have never had this one being a problem ever on rune worlds. BAD update

Fake train inbuild, this one is actually good and something that ppl asked for

November 15th 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7144456

Made it easier to select all reports, nice QoL. Able to kick out yellow players without prestige drop - this one gets a thumbs up for me

November 26th 2021 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7144679

Decommed nobles looks like its decommend and not recruite - good QoL. Rest is shit.

11 march 2022 https://forum.tribalwars.net/index.php?threads/game-updates.281874/post-7149156

Steam got nuked for no fucking reason.
Innogames fixing the problem of items being able to be abused and after they didnt have the balls to enforce rules and actually do shit for the players best they fixed this. Im not even gonna say its a good one because the fact it even got this far is a fucking joke.

Some shit about tribeforum that is good QoL


The last years game updates reviewed by me:
Good - 4
Bad - 4
QoL - 9

Cant you guys just have a vote on what the players want and stop trying to GUESS what the players that actually play the game thinks?

@JawJaw tagging you since I think you're a pretty bang on CM. I know the CMs/Mods don't have much say in what gets put/not put into the game, but think it be valuable for the product manager(s?) to at least be aware of how their community plays the game. Not sure why people blame the devs since all they do is code the game lol, but I think the product manager isn't fully aware of this passionate community and how the game is played these days (it's a vastly different scape from even 2 years ago before steam).

I'm also pretty confident innogames isn't a google sized business where they can afford to dump off projects that they invested millions in, as I'm sure that Steam cost you guys a pretty penny. The majority of players only use it for co-playing. Might have gotten you guys that initial userbase, but have fun spending millions more maintaining a different codebase that no one uses and that you eventually scrap (been there done that).
