The Mighty Quest For Epic Loot

Heavily NEEDED game changes.
After having played for quite some time (pre open beta). I have found a few things that are in dire need of change. Things that alter the scales so they are more balanced in players favor. And not a "You are playing to lose" setup like the game currently is designed.

1: If players do not beat your timer clock they should have no access to your end treasures, as they have not completed the challange 100%. they have mearly survived the castle. for surviving they keep skill gains and loot found while playing the dungeon, but NO end rewards.

2: Players accepting public validation challanges should be charged for the attempt. only one player at a time should be allowed to accept the challange. If multiple players are still allowed to accept the challange they should use the LOWEST possible time, not the highest (as it currently is set to). because you are paying real money. Players simply sit inside your castle for 20 minutes and tell thier guild come raid an easy place. so by seeking public validation you are literally settting up to be cleaned out. Not good for player experience.

3:Add some way to report comments left on your castle, Im tired of reading "P2W" on my castle. or some sting of horrific swear words. This is not something we can CHOOSE to put on our castle, ALLOW us to REMOVE THEM or REPORT THEM. With the current system of the castle runner being allowed to post anything they please, this game is supporting trolling, player harassment, and outright vulgar contempt. To remove any kind of harassment or demeaning text from your castle you have to have someone run your castle to post over the last comment. Its rediclious. Players are paying money to play this game (even via micropayment). They should not be harassed by this games community because the developers lack forsight to allow removal or reporting of such comments.

4:Put an in game suggestion system in place so we dont have to type this kind of thing out on steam or your website.

All these suggestions were requested numerous times.
The current developer team (this is the fourth iteration) are lazy, and really have not shown they care at all for the community.
I am expecting a final "crib death" within 6 months.

#1 is even more unfair than the game is now. Some classes just can clear dungeons faster than others due to the skill set they've been given. Your proposal is that not only should the slower classes get cheated out of the chance for 3* victories like they currently are, they shouldn't even get gold or life force. So what reward do they get for clearing a castle?

Lets calculate:
Runaway - 50% crowns, no gold, no life force, no roulette
Mage - 100% crowns, gold, life force, roulette reward

Under the current system runaways still don't get their fair share of 3* rewards, but they at least have the advantage that even though they are very slow and clear the dungeon at half the speed they are tough and can frequently make it to the end of even quite exreme castles due to their shielding skill so they can get the pile of gold that maybe the archer or mage can't get sometimes.

I was going to post a very long winded counter to your response but decided i simply dont care enough about this game, or its future to really get into it. I have said my peace, I hope the development team is wise enough to see the virtues of it and make changes to help keep thier game alive.

I'm not sure I agree on your point #1 (although the others I agree with). Because you know the layout of your castle, I feel this would devolve even more into "Make a maze and stick all the nodes at one point in it, then run it with an archer". There's no point in playing vs castles where you have to guess which way to go to get the fast time unless you are trying to cheese it with your guild. Why even bother with defenses then?

Allow us to finish castle.. this bug is killing the game (gate stay closed when reached, with dungeon cleared of monster and mines and with plenty of time... you have to flee)

Honestly, I do not agree at all with this post.
1. Players who have a high level and good gear validate a lot of castles and make it IMPOSSIBLE for other players to beat by time. This should not be allowed at all. If you can not beat your own castle how can you expect others to do it and do it faster than you?

2. First of all, you do not pay real money every time for asking for a validation ticket. If you have a bling mine, then you can basically have 2,5 free validations per day. It costs you 10 bling to get validated and we only get 3! - if we make it before others. And because of this new players will miss out on rulets and good items for 3 starring you the honest way.
Also if you ask someone to validate your castle, you get FREE videos to see how people handle your castle and see what the weaknesses are. I would PAY 50 bling just to get those videos.
I think sitting in a p2w castle is fair. Because this gives other people the chance to actually try to beat the castle with their low level gear that takes weeks and months to get, while the castle builders can just get the most OP traps in a day. Is this fair?

3. I think those comments are just. If I see "p2w" comment, then I know I wont´t be going there. Because I know it will be frustrating, possibly laggy, lose crowns, money and get no reward. I will just go to someone else´s castle, have a good time and maybe even win something on rulet in the end. On the other hand "p2w" comments actually help you. Because if I want to farm for good items, then seeing "p2w" tells me that that castle has a high loot drop % and I will go there.

4. Please realize that while it might be frustrating for you to read those "p2w" and angry comments, but think about how many peoples mood you ruined. They are actually trying to get good in this game, but they keep seeing the same OP map between levels 15 - 30 and there is NOTHING they can do there until they get the gear they need.

I am 1200 + crowns at the moment and I can beat most castles up to 1400, but I still need more block, manaregen, attackspeed etc before I can take on the full tryhard p2w castles and I might not ever get them (probably will though - i hope) , meaning I might not ever be able to 3 star those castles. Is this fair? - LiquiFire

Also, if you are not happy with other people validating your castle with 20 + minutes, then you can always validate it yourself. So there is no problem :)

#1 Remove public & clan validations all together . Watching replays of ppl die in a castle you yourself cant beat lol. I've done it myself, is it right ? no . It's something they should think about doing.
