Dev Q&A - Post your questions here!

Hey Devs,

Thank you so much for the Q&A and most importantly for all your efforts to make things better in the last few months. I have been a Maiden fan since 1988 and have discovered the game from Iron Maiden's social media and played since Day 1.

My questions/points for discussion are somewhat more of general ones since a lot of the detailed ones have already been asked.

1. Can we please slow down the constant grinding efforts, as it seems that this game has turned more into a second job that an enjoyable experience, it is very cumbersome to have to repeat tasks over and over again and the main concept of a game should be to provide pleasure and an escape from "real life"?

2. Can we please slow down the "inflation" and ultra commercial aspects of the game (exclusive Eddies, exclusive talismans...)? It seems that everything costs more and more in terms of required resources and the "value for money" is definitely not the right ratio at the moment.

3. I believe that Iron Maiden is a great brand and to quote Bruce from a recent meeting I had with him: "We want to turn our customers into fans and not our fans into customers, otherwise we would be called Metallica". Realistically, this game seems to be milking fans turned into customers and I guess a lot of the aggravation would disappear if things were fairer.

4. Slowing down on the constant release of characters and talismans is a must, any kind of Rare, or Event Soul is rendered useless by the sheer number of characters in the pool, maybe there should not be "all class souls" anymore but class souls only (even for Event Souls) to reduce this pool.

5. Can we attempt to pivot the customer churn management strategy from grinding and collecting to fun and competition (guilds would be a good way to achieve this)?

6. How involved and invested are the band members in the game, it seems that they are somewhat detached from the strategic and commercial view?

Looking forward to reading all your answers!

Kind Regards,
