Just wanna let Antony and Andre know that im still getting the progress bug on my 3gs after the update. Ive been playing all morning, then I pushed the home button and went to play another game. When I came back everything I did was reverted back almost three hours. In those three hours I fought abaddon once. Then I used gems to fight him two more time taking my gems from 204-148, but now they are back and I lost progress 2% on the felix hunt(because I found him four times this morning). Also even though when I fight abaddon I usually get 3 abaddon stones my game isnt registering the stones correctly. It will tell me I have gotten three but only show my stone total going up by 1
Hi guys I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. I actually made this account BECAUSE I wanted to give the development team of Pocket Army, a piece of my mind. So the game's great. IT'S LONG, which is a refreshing characteristic amongst so many replay-value-based games; IT'S FUN TO PLAY, which is kind of the whole point, isn't it?; IT'S CHALLENGING, also a refreshing characteristic now a days, when most games seem to be made with toddler difficulty; IT'S GRAPHICALLY APPEALING, with the gorgeous art for landscapes, characters and equipment; IT'S SATISFYING AS HELL when you finally get to beat that Akuma-looking boss who's been laughing at your corpse over and over; and, last but not least, IT'S FREE! So yeah, amazing game overall. Great job guys. In spite of all the good aspects this game has, I have now decided not to play it any longer. For you to really understand why, you need to listen (read) to my experience playing the game, so here goes: At first I was buying clubmen and fighting the evil hordes of evil evilness perfectly fine. Later, *LEVEL UP! You unlocked a New Weapon!* so naturally, I bought it. After that, *LEVEL UP! You unlocked Swordsmen!* OK, so let's stop upgrading Clubmen (I hate the fact that I upgraded those guys and now I'm never gonna use them ever again, but what are you gonna do, right?) and start upgrading and buying Swordsmen instead. Now, every fight gets harder and harder, and I'm losing all the guys I spent money on. Therefore, I have to buy new soldiers every fight... THAT'S EXPENSIVE D: I sure as hell got the hint, you want me to buy resources using my credit card, clearly. I mean, the amounts of money/gems needed for everything are incredibly steep. But I don't like putting cash into games. I like EARNING the stuff I buy in a game. I mean sure, I'll gladly buy a game if it's good enough, and although piracy is pretty much unpunished in my country, I like buying my games, because that way the developers get the money they need to keep making amazing games. It's what's fair, you know? You give me a game I enjoy, you get the money you deserve. But I don't like exchanging cash for resources, because I feel like it's the easy way out. I didn't buy a game to later spend some more cash and be invincible, and then just rush through the game like nothing. I bought the game to play it, and that's what I intend to do. So I guess I'll just have to spend money on more army so I can win more fights and get more money... that doesn't seem so hard now, does it? Later, *LEVEL UP! You unlocked Archers!*, and I noticed that if I die, my remaining soldiers run away, unharmed. AMAZING! This has probably been THE GREATEST DISCOVERY I'VE MADE IN THIS GAME!!! 8 archers for me, and upgrade the f*** out of them! But then came a point where archers simple didn't cut it, and I needed new stuff. But I gained 3k each battle and New Armor costs 120k, New Sword costs 130k, New Shield costs 90K, New Healing spell costs 80k. So what am I supposed to do /: just train all day long to get the money I need? /: That seems boring. Hey but maybe, if I just keep pressing forward I'll get more juicy rewards per fight. That way it won't take so much time to save up for what I want to buy! I'll have to arm myself with patience though, and just train to get further LET'S GO!! So I trained, and killed, and bought, and fought, and lost, and bought, and lost, and bought, and trained, and lost, and bought, and fought, AND WON! And well... rinse and repeat for like 40 levels. Finally I DID get better rewards! I was starting to make more money per fight, thus I realized something: "I'm currently using my hero and 8 archers. If I saved up enough to buy The Main I'd have more than twice the archers, and would totally kick ass and get WAY further, getting even juicier rewards! Good thing archers are recyclable even if I lose! So I'll just have to buy them once " The most I'd saved up had been about 90k for the healing spell, so now to think of saving 500k, that would DEFINITELY take some time... TO HELL WITH IT! I'LL ENDURE WHATEVER I HAVE TO ENDURE! The reward of having a huge army of archers is WAY TOO SWEET!!! Plus I've come this far.. I can't stop now! So I played it safe, playing the hardest level that I could beat with nothing but archers. This way I wouldn't have any expenses. I won't upgrade anything, I won't buy any equipment, I won't get any new spells, I WON'T SPEND MONEY, NO MATTER HOW HARD THE GAME WANTS ME TO! Levels went by, new equipment was found, new units were unlocked, and I only spent on archer upgrades, and the occasional casualty. FINALLY, after devoting myself to this game, I GOT THE 500K!!! I looked at that blank space... "The Main... will finally be mine!" *tap* "Do you want to unlock The Main?" Do I? Am I really making the best choice? Is this really what I need? Well, enemies just keep on coming and appearing, so it probably works that way for me too. SO HELL YEAH! > I'm finally going to kick ass T_T I've been waiting for this moment FOR SO LONG!!!! I'll get tons of archers and rush through a million stages, and by the time I'm stuck again I'll be getting such sweet rewards that getting all new equipment and upgrading archers and other units will be incredibly easy! YAAAAY!!! Good times ahead, good times indeed :') So let's try this out. I'm gonna mix it up a bit. Van: 4 swordsmen and 4 archers. Main: 4 pikemen and 8 archers. This is so sweet :') I'm so hyped!! I'm already picturing it: The swordsmen fighting to their greatest extent, being backed up by the archers in their golden armor, and when my swordsmen yell "My liege! The enemy forces are too strong! Their numbers are too many and they're tearing through our defenses! They just won't stop coming! What are we to do Lord Kenzo??" I'll be like "My men! Hang tight! It won't be long before backup gets here! Just keep a tight grasp of one end of your sword and thrust the other end onto the enemy with faith, for we shall remain victorious!! Have faith my men, have faith!" And THE MAIN would come in, with more glorious archers and this time spearmen leading the charge! They'll come in with shining armor and save the day, sweeping evil off the battlefield, leading us to victory! And the best part, everything led by this awesome looking General Kenzo! (I love how this game makes me feel so amazing xD) It'll be the first step in a huge staircase of victories! LET'S GO!!!! *tap tap tap* The Main's first fight I encounter the enemy, cast some spells, fight a bit, kind of strange that the main still isn't here... Oh well, they'll come Fight a bit more, kill some bad guys, my first swordsman is dead. Main... where are you ^^U... I spent 500k on you, get here NOW!... 2nd and 3rd swordsman dead. Enemy hero comes in, starts kicking ass, 4th swordsman dead. I'm left alone with my archers, once again..... WHERE THE HELL IS MY ARMY?!?!?!?!?!?!? Finally I recieve the last slash from my nemesis, as she celebrates her victory over my dead corpse. WTF JUST HAPPENED??? I JUST SPENT 500K ON NOTHING????? SERIOUSLY??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! After this failure I started doing some research about how The Main works, and found here that The Van needs to die entirely for The Main to come in /: Well that sure sucks. So now I'm gonna need MORE money for this to work? So if I have archers in my van and I want to keep them alive I can't have access to the main? So now that I had finally found a way around one of the many money-spending loops this game has, I get tricked into falling in it once again? Eventhough I spent FRIGGIN 500K AND WASTED ABOUT A WEEK OF MY LIFE ON THIS THING?!?!?!? What kind of a general waits for EVERY SINGLE SOLDIER TO DIE before calling in reinforcements?!?! DDD: I don't want to play this game anymore. -.-U What I propose as a solution is to put buttons to activate the entrance of the main and of the rear, like a real general would. That way the player determines when to call for backup, instead of having to see all of his soldiers die u.u
don't use the van, that way you have more soldiers (https://twitter.com/Lozano/status/231434114698448896/photo/1)
@KenzoTenma: First, welcome you to the forum. Pocket Army team will take all of your feedbacks to us and to be honest, we're considering your suggestion seriously. The fact that we're also receiving many feedback about the mechanic of the main army working way already. So we will probably have our proper action to make your effort well worth it. In fact, the current design of the game is that you may not need to bring the whole army to complete the whole game for now, you can leave the whole "van" army blank and only fill up your "main" troop and you will be out in the battle with 12 mens instead of 8 mens, this's really different. However, this we understand completely your feeling and your disappointing when getting 500k gold so hard so fast but completely piss off just right after that because the way it works, we get it. And sure we will do something about it to please you and improve Pocket Army as well. PS: To be honest, I can't not be happy any more than than, when seeing this post, from a Pocket Army lover. Have a nice weekend! Antony
Hey, you're the most awesome general yet in Pocket Army and now you're here! Welcome! You're always in my main team! Unbeatable!!!
Well, your best is so awesome, I'm not even reach that level... However, we're working on more features and a new map, give us sometime, Pocket Army will be back with more interesting stuffs to work on. Cheers and Nice weekend! ANtony
Hey guys, I haven't encountered the lost progress bug again since the updated version; so good job there! BUT! I'm still having problems with my friends list. At first, none of them showed up. Then I visited a random player, which worked fine, and when I returned to my friend list I think they were all there (I'm not sure how many friends I actually have but I presume the numbers are correct). However, they're all level 1! I don't know who any of them are (there are no names or anything) and I can't visit/challenge any of them - it would fail and just prompt me to check my network connection. I've tried restarting the app, restarting my device (iPhone 3GS), all to no avail.
Hey Alcadeias, thanks for reporting this bug! We will take a look at the issue now. Can you send your CS code and your GC Id to us? It will be a lot more easier for us to detect the problem for you and Pocket Army. Thanks again for that, have a nice weekend! Antony
is there anyway to turn off notifications? I dont remember seeing an option in game asking if i could allow notifications from the game.
This is a big mistake from us in this release (cos there's an option in Option menu but it's yet working...), you cannot turn it off for now, but no worry, we will fix it really soon. Antony
Hi it's me again. Not sure if it was mentiobed already but is there a level cap and can anyone tell me what it is?
do i need to equip the gem felix for the whole day to receive the 5gems or cna i use other felix and still get the 5 gems
I dont know about any one else, but I dont even use ANY back up, it is a massive waste of coin. I am about lev 38 and am waiting until level 40 to proceed any further (because the level I am up to requires lev 40). I have passed EVERY level with out back up... doesnt anyone else do this? I honestly thought the most recent update would have made the levels harder.. also, talk about grinding for coin.. I just unlocked the holy power blast skill (3.5 mil) earning 11K a battle.. took so long, but was worth it
I would also like to suggest an improvement for the game: - Skill: 'Rush', allows you to momentarily increase walking speed (like a sprint). This would be beneficial for a number of reasons: - Becoming overwhelmed in battle, allows a hasty escape to allow time for healing. - Picking up coins at the end of a battle.
I also have another 'slightly more complicated' improvement suggestion: As the game is now, there is no 'major' reason for a player to purchase all of the equipment available. for example, the only reason I would want to buy the fire or dark sword is aesthetics only. I can simply grind away until I am a high enough level to buy the ice sword and skip purchasing everything between. What I propose you do is implement 'attributes'. You have most of the fundamentals already in place for this to work. let me explain... lets breakdown the current map up into regions; region 1: the green plant/mountain looking section, region 2: ice section, region 3: dark looking section, region 4: desert section, region 5: fire section. Now, lets break down some of the current weapons available... dark, fire, ice... What I think you should do i decrease the price of all of the weapons to begin with. So you can start of by purchasing a level 1 dark sword at the same price as a level 1 fire sword..etc.. Then allow the player to upgrade the sword they want to use. Now is where the attributes come into play. Fire sword - 10% more damage in region 1 (fire burns plants). Ice sword - 10% more damage in region 5 (ice puts out fire). This could obviously be mirrored in terms of the shields and armor as well. This is just a suggestion. I would love to hear what others thought of this idea.
