Punishing Journey nerf incoming

I’ve moved this thread to the spoilers section.

We do have changes coming to Pathfinder Troops, however, they are not finalised.
We are also reviewing the scoring and difficulty of Journey events in conjunction with this, but no changes have been made there yet as all of this is a work in progress.

We are making these changes due to the Pathfinder Troops reliability with looping turns causing issues in PVP.

We plan to make an official post once the changes are finalised with the details.

Alternative theory, just to share a different perspective - they may have considered it at the time, and decided it was worth it.

Then, later on, after having everyone playing on it and lots of changes and new troops and content being added to the game as well as feedback received, decided it was something that needed to be changed.

We do have to regularly rebalance to account for things not being the same as when they released because the game is turning 10 this year

What was released in the past doesn’t all work forever.

Nobody has to fight about this. As I mentioned this is incomplete information about incomplete work that was pulled because of players data diving and grabbing game files.

I’ve mentioned that with the Troop rebalance there is also a Journey event review in the works as well.

We have always planned to make an official blog post about all of this with the details as well, but as none of this is finalised yet and the official news post isn’t written yet, and the community are arguing and posting about how worried they are, we had to come say something here early even though the work is ongoing.

It’s ok if you don’t trust us to do this right, but literally no one has to argue each other or debate it here because it’s all based on spoilers that aren’t finalised. It’s incomplete information.

Having said that, if you’re enjoying discussing and debating it, I’m also not asking you to stop - please continue!!! It’s great when everyone wants to discuss the Troops and game features (for better or worse) - but if it’s stressing you out and you’re not enjoying it, please don’t feel like you have to engage with the topic right now as it’s spoilers and missing information and the team were already working on both the pathfinder and Journey event before the thread was created.

The changes are planned to be in next week’s Journey event.
Still ironing out the details but we will put all the information about changes to Pathfinders and Journey into a blog post once those details are finalised.

As always, with any changes, we will be monitoring the game data and player feedback regarding the changes made and tweaking things further as necessary even after these changes go live.

So if it’s not perfect first time around, we will review it again before the next Journey event.
