I think I saw it marked as free in TA, maybe even at the beginning of this thread, where you tap on the buy button?? Just another mistype I guess
I found a relic called "Old Key"... is there any other use to it than selling it? Btw i’m really liking this game... even though it has some serious grinding to it, I don’t mind because it such a good game! Really hoping to see iCloud save feature soon tho...
I have finally managed to get to use this key! Spoiler: Golden Key Quest You get the Golden Key randomly during events. It is not worth much but you should keep it if you plan to reach the 3rd boss (I think the event using this Key is accessible only in the 3rd Boss part). You will find a locked chest that you can open only using this key! What it gives you? A beautiful Crown! Also, take note that the « Artificial Stone » (That I would call Sacrificial but maybe I don’t get it). This relic also has a cool use in a special event. But I didn’t make a screen shot when it happened... And we wouldn’t want to spoil to much
I'm getting quite close to unlocking a 2nd character. That's about 6,000 gold since I bought the game. Inital spendings were 5000 on the two upgrades (+10% life / -10% costs) Then spent 2000 to unlock the first hero - will soon unlock the 2nd hero (Unless gold rewards are better in the other adventures.. anyone knows ?) Reinstating the fact that gold income is still way too low, even after buying the doubler (since it does not affect gold income) @ Fabled - Game Producer if you have any update to share on your plans, it'd be a good idea to do so
Alright, I was having tones of fun so without waiting any further, I’ve decided to buy the doubler knowing that it only increases XP and repute for now and provides 5k gold. I used it to unlock second area cos I have the repute already to see what’s there. U will encounter new enemy types and unlock new skills. It’s quite tough and a bit refreshing too. I agree with others. The double should ideally double gold earned as well but seeing that they sell gold as IAP, that might impact their earnings. Hope to hear back from the developers soon!
See @Fabled - Game Producer liking posts. Can they tell us what their plans are in regards to balancing gold and unlocks? Reinstate the gold part of the doubler as it seemed to indicate originally? I got a refund on the doubler for now because it didn’t do what I thought it would. But may rebuy it if they add gold to it. I’m happy to support the dev if they make changes to make it more fair to progress.
I think I have an idea. Perhaps the dev can consider giving gold doubler too and get good faith and more word of mouth promotion from fellow gamers who bought the app. Then they can monotize the game by adding expansion such as new maps with new cards to unlock, new paid characters, skins. Foil card design? As long as core mechanic is fun (which it is), the game will have legs in the long run. Good luck!
The Review is out. 3.5 / 5 Damn, that's sad. The game is great. With the proper progression, it would have easily earned a 4 or 4.5
I also feel sad because the game definitely deserves better. The graphics, the mechanics, the number of cards is immense, the number of characters, different maps... More than half of the review speaks about the in-game currencies (Gold and Reputation) and then briefly describes the mechanics without speaking about the deep content of the game. I even find it strange that the whole review was organised in a way that it starts immediately with a negative opinion of the game and then the actual review of the game is left at the end like "it's enjoyable in some way". It even ends with "Perhaps this will change in the future but, more likely, it will not, and the grind for gold will drag Pirates Outlaws down, down to the dark abyss below". I find it really strange because a moderator came to the forum to stop the unending argument about the currencies and progress by telling something along the line of "to each his own" and pointing that the developers have noted this issue and that they are working on it. I hope people will come to this forum and will not blindly follow the review.
Welp, nothing we can do. The game itself is fun and everybody else seems to echo the same sentiment. Hopefully the dev takes all of these into consideration and provides an update to us soon. I’ve just managed to earn 4K gold and unlocked explorer. Thought I would save another 1k but using a new character seems to breath more freshness back into the mix rather than to venture into a new map and boy was I glad I’ve made that choice. The explorer is mighty fun. U get to choose 1 out of 3 scrolls at the beginning and you’ve got access to an extra relic slot plus u get 1 extra reward choices. Still learning the rope but definitely my fav hero so far.
Hi, Good news after a week of hard work, solving different issues. I can finally share to you about some game improvements for our next version (Available tomorrow if all goes well). Improvements about game experience from our community is a priority for us. But we also doesn't want to break the overall gameflow and progression of the game. We have add X2 GOLD BONUS to the BOOSTER! And also add an option to refresh your loot after a battle with coins (we have also balance amount of coins you win after battle). "An event has been added too but i am not sure if can say more about it, maybe better to discover it." Some cards and bosses balance, improvements and issues have been fixed (for more details here)... Sorry for the late post and no matter how many stars we will get. We will still improve our game in our way and hope it will fit you. Nicolas
Thank you sir for the response! Hope you can make it as a living game and perhaps you can take into some of the suggestions I’ve made prior about further monetizing the game in the future. I’ve invested in countless expansions for games like Ascension over the years ever since iPhone 3GS until today as it is deemed fun to me and many members here from toucharcade too and will be more than happy to support this game going forward if things turned out well. Not sure if the reviewers would go back and change the scores but hopefully people are not put off after this. Thanks for listening!
Amazing work from the devs! I am sure that this update will improve the way this game has been judged unfairly. Also, the possibility to refresh the card rewards after a battle is something really cool. It will allow to create some nice synergies when more cards are unlocked.
Great news ! We should try to get the review updated... Edit.: I mean, that should have been expected. The Game producer is a French guy called Nicolas. Like me !
@Echoseven - is there anything that can be done about that ? With the upcoming update, the review feels quite unfair. Edit.: Especially when you compare it with Card Crusade (https://toucharcade.com/2019/03/07/card-crusade-review/) which got a 4.5 star review... I own both, and it's a no brainer on which game provides better value overall - And I've played Card Crusade a lot (unlocked & finished the game with all characters... ) and like it a lot as well.
Is anything going to be done to increase repute? I also had mentioned that felt quite low considering the need for 2000 to open the third area. I still only have a little over 300 with the doubler after many hours of gameplay. I do appreciate the dev adding gold to the booster (though I thought it was there at the time I bought it).
How is this a better value? Card Crusade is $3.99 for a complete game with no issues at all with unlocks and no IAPs. This game costs that with the doubler and initial purchase and IMHO still has progression issues on the repute side. That said I do like the gameplay of this more than Card Crusade. I’ll see how adding gold works out.
