Because it deserves it's own thread

I would like a Trendy employee to explain why the nerf wasn't announced in the patch notes (And still isn't there either). I feel like they were afraid of the backlash they'd get from this nerf and just didn't want to put it. Did you think we weren't going to notice or something? Whoever the boss is at your office, I really hope you guys sit together in a room and discuss the future of this game in an intelligent manner. I get the impression you guys are all over the place, with no long term goals or ideas. Your patches and ways of dealing with problems as of late supports what I say.

Do you know why players are this upset? Because they like this game, and your poor handling of this situation, your patches, balancing and content is not to our liking.

I was soo excited to get to try out UMF with a friend today (only 2 of us) that I had trouble sleeping last night.

Then I wake up to this! Trendy I personally convinced 4 friends to buy this game soon after it came out because I was having to much fun, and told them how responsive Trendy was to the players. None of them play anymore because they got tired of stuff changing to dramatically to quickly.

I was finding myself not looking forward to playing anymore because I didn't want to have to sit in front of the computer for 6hrs. UMF was going to make it about skill, not time, again. But why would I want to play it anymore?

The fact that I see some of your biggest supporters on the forums starting to show frustration with you says something.

What percentage of your players were able to solo the content? Were they exploiting something? Did they cheat to be able to do it? I know I tried a few times last night and could only get to the 3rd wave on MEDIUM, but made a little progress each time.

If you have a few trouble makers, you deal with them, don't punish everyone. I have had supervisors at work who were to chicken to deal with the problem so they would make stupid blanket policies that affected everyone.

Sorry if this is rambling, just really disappointed.

Ooo I got quoted, I feel special. But seriously, Jeremy needs to answer to the players. His title on the forum here is "Head Honcho". I don't know how the organization of their company works, but if we go based on the forum title...I imagine he's in charge. He was the one who told us about 24 hours ago that this loot was NOT getting nerfed. If he's the one in charge, what happened that we end up with this patch?

Luckily the patch notes for .d are out and they do not say anything about loot. Thus we can conclude it's now working as intended.

Just saw this in the .d patch notes.

* Slight Uber Monster Fest Item Buff (about 10%), and 30% Buff to the Rewards qualities.

Here we go again!

I am sorry. Really sorry to go off topic here. But I have to quote that. And ask on behalf of every well geared player: what you mean? I went into it with just a usual 50-ish ups bonebow huntress in good armor and my good but not the best aura monk. All my gear was from Insane Mix Mode (well, except for the damn bow — 50^ is crap). I used a build which is common for usual MF. I made it to wave 11 from the first run. Insane of course. I regeared with the loot I got. Made it to wave 12. Had a couple of fail runs. Regeared. Woo-hoo. Wave 13. Grabbed an 81^ bonebow and some good tower armors... Some more fail runs. Patch.

I couldn't beat it before they added 90 sec timer to every wave. But I clearly see that I could — if I only used an apprentice guardian instead of a fairy.

So the question is: do you really think they did that because a lot of people cheated or exploited something apart from their experience and skills to beat the UMF? I'm really sad if that is what you think.

It's more about gear than skill.

I thought it was fun.

Guess I was wrong. :(

Going AFK to play a game proves it is not fun.

Yes, you were wrong. But it's ok... admittance is the first step to realizing you have a problem.

This game requires a certain degree of planning and awareness, but for higher end survival and this new map, it is all about gear. In fact, it is more about the gear than anything else.

Which is sad in my opinion. I enjoyed the start of the game when trying to figure out tower placement was of highest importance.

Its a tower defense game. Of course you should be able to AFK if that is your idea of fun. Who are you to make a decision of what is fun and what isn't?

He made a simple statement, then expressed sarcasm. Don't over examine it.

And stop patronizing people.
