Gonzo, I never said there were "many posts planning a mass exodus." I said (to quote myself), "Lamia and mods: PLEASE at least post the date and details for the next update so we are not all just simmering in our frustration and end up planning a mass exodus." The key operative here is "END UP planning a mass exodus." Patience has an expiration date on all living beings.
It only takes so much frustration with no help or communication before people get fed up. There are a few posts from people thinking about asking for refunds on Founders Packs; I myself had purchased one, and I've spent hundreds of dollars in-game for a game that gets stuck, keeping me from advancing. Some people can't even log on. Others, like JP music, lost everything and had to start over. This is not acceptable!
The game's only been out a month, but a month IS too long to wait for a response from the dev team. I sent 3 emails about 3 separate issues and have received 0 response for my emails from 3, 2 1/2, and 2 weeks ago. We are in the dark about fixes, a scheduled update, patch, or whatever. The only serious update they've done is to sell you the Legendary Pack (which I bought as well) and MINOR bug fixes; but no major bugs were fixed.
Now, many people (including myself) can't even get their trooper rewards that they've waited a week to get. This game is acting like a Beta version, and they had not announced a launch date for the full until about a week or two before said date. They could have simply held off on the launch before they released a game where Samurai Eddie and other major characters can't even deal any damage. These are BETA TESTING BUGS, not LAUNCH BUGS.
Yes, we ALL love Maiden and the music and graphics are excellent in this game. But what good are those things for someone who can't log in? What about the guy who bought the $666 Founders Pack and his talismans can't even be equipped! That's a high-profile, VIP customer who paid a hell of a lot of money for something that obviously didn't even get tested. And I know it didn't get tested, because to test it, they would have had to equip the talismans to test. Equipping talisman freezes game? Oh, let's fix that before we launch the game and disappoint a person who paid a boatload of money for it! SIMPLE! BETA!
And yes, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I'd be an idiot if I wait another FULL month, keep giving them my money, rate them 5*, and still get no response about simple, BETA FIXES that should not exist in the first place. I hope the 1* rating on Google Play wakes somebody at Roadhouse.
It doesn't take long to post a single-sentence apology and ennouncement about bug fixes int eh FORUM, PLAY/iTUNES STORE, TWIITER, or OFFICIAL SITE. They have not taken that wisp of time to abate or pacify our frustrations. Being overwhelmed is no excuse. I'm not asking for individual responses, just a simple, general post acknowledging that they are on top of it.
