@Kafka has made a post in relation to duplicate tasks, as @OneWorld has linked :sparkles:

But I have shared your specific experience and your account data with the team as well!

Sorry we missed it, probably my fault.

We’re currently sorting out wrapping up this current beta and getting ready for the 6.5 beta so I think a gap was created in who was handling it.

We’re going to be reviewing how the beta is run again and looking at how other games are doing it to try to get some good ideas. You’ll probably have Jeto asking you all for b...

We’re only looking at Kingdom Helper Daily Deals. Specifically the ones I know are on the list because I helped pass them on are:

  • Has a power level task to have x amount of level 20 Troops, Daily Deal gives Troop bundle for an already maxed out troop.

  • Has a power level task to fully upgrade a troop, Daily Deal gives Troop bundle for a maxed out troop - ALSO the Kingdom in question doesn’t have enough released Troops to complete this task.

  • Has a power level task to have X Kingdom Weapons Fully Upgraded, but you only have Doomed Weapons to upgrade. Daily Deal gives Ingot Offer which can’t be used.

  • Has a power level task to have X Kingdom Weapons Fully Upgraded, but the only non-upgrade weapons are ones you don’t own. Daily Deal gives Ingot Offer which can’t be used.

  • Has power level Tasks to level the Kingdom to Level X (that needs Imperial or Books of Deeds). Daily Deal gives Colored Deed or Writ ...

I love this :sparkles: I collect a few things actually, but Lord of the Rings is at the top of my list! Making up for all the things that were released when I was a kid and couldn’t buy anything, th...

Ah, so, neither of these are actually standard window resolutions. Generally things should look fine if you manually resize your window, but there are some odd graphical issues that can happen if you’re not using a standard window size, particularly, the more you resize to non-standard resolutions, the more funky things get.

I would suggest choosing a window size from the drop down menu in the game settings and that will fix the problems you’re seeing. If you would really prefer the custom window size, you can click and d...

Hey all,

Czernobog is intended to be a Defender.

There was a discussion prior to if Czernobog were more a Defender or a Generator, but felt that Czernobog was more like Gorgotha (Defender) and less like Ragnagord (who is a Generator)

As Czernobog has the skull damage reduction as well as mana generation from creating Gems.

Just in case, there is a breakdown and Gorgotha as an example in the Troop Roles article;

Hey @Smiling_Spectre1

What aspect ratio are you currently playing in? Also, have you attempted a reinstall since this occurred?

As I have seen since this update was released a few players are experiencing some graphical issues, which have been resolved by either restarting or reinstalling.

Uhh, that was me admitting we messed up… we would like to post some things before updates go live, sometimes we can’t though. In this case, we couldn’t. I guess I could have been more clear in my reply, I also see I didn’t say sorry, so I’m doing that now! - I’m sorry we didn’t post about it ahead of time and I’m sorry for the original wording slip up. I’m also sorry I didn’t include this in my original reply. I sometimes go into problem solving/information sharing mode and forget to be extra mindful of my wording - that’s a me problem I could definitely stand to work on.

Yikes. I’ve let the team know just how bad the repeat tasks are this week.

This stuff has happened in the past when we release a new Kingdom during a Campaign and we had already worked on some code to prevent so many duplicates when we release a new Kingdom. So we’ll look into why that code didn’t prevent it this time.

I’ve passed feedback about the font style (readability, kernalling) and size as well as the layout and flow of the text boxes/speech bubbles thanks folks.

Regarding it being a waste of dev time - this was primarily an art task and our artists don’t program gameplay.

Our programmers have been busy fixing bugs and improving performance, we had a major fix for lag go out yesterday which is definitely noticable to me, and hopefully to you all too :slight_smile:

This is ongoing work still as well.

In terms of other things our developers are busy with, they’re currently working on improvements to the Kingdom Helper Deal, as we promised it would be our next priority after the server/database improvements. So we’ve been able to shift some team members off the optimisation and onto Kingdom Helper Daily Deals now as planned.

Hey, thanks and sorry the post was late! I lost track of the time and we’re still manually cross posting the blog to the forum!

I’ve moved the responses from your thread into this one as you requested it (I was happy either way though!) I will close the other thread to avoid confusion.
