    Thanks a lot, Reekok.

    For the bug between 2 devices, please delete Pocket Army on device with the lower level. Then you play game on other device for a while. At last you re-download the game on the first device and launch to the game. Data will be synced from the server to this device.

    Cheers,

    Changing the gem reward from Abaddon has ruined the game.

    You should play the game on iPad and exit Pocket Army(double touch HOME button and "kill" the game from the bottom of device) then you can download game to 2nd device and launch to the game. That's enough.

    Note: Please check the connection(3G/wifi) on 1st device before exit it. :)

    Thanks a lot for your feedback, jone;). Because we have thought that if we take Lucifer comes back, users can find gems easily, so we have re-balanced gems reward.:(:( And we will consider to fix your issue in future.

    Cheers,:D:rolleyes::cool:;):p

    Hey U know I play PA since the beginning but now I am really unhappy I did what U said to me --> ''You should play the game on iPad and exit Pocket Army(double touch HOME button and "kill" the game from the bottom of device) then you can download game to 2nd device and launch to the game. That's enough.'' --> I did this and now I lost the gems from my ipad and on my iPhone I have still the 239 gems, the santa event 0% (was over 22%) daily reward = 1st day, the path to victory event went back to (''Win the battle in campaign 165) and my samurai soldier isn't at max LVL :(

    I had again over 1000gems on my iPad but now after reinstalling the game on my iPad I have also only the stats from my iPhone?????

    And one more thing, U know that I'm not very happy about what U did with the Abaddon gems, but now I figured out, that the Lucky Potion was increased. Now I have to pay 50 gems for 10 battles but only get 30gems from Abaddon (so it isn't possible to fight him again and again)

    Hope U can help me with my problem and I hope there is a way to get the lost gems back! --> Hope this feedback isn't to hard formulated
    Thx Reekok

    I haven't downloaded the update yet (at work currently) but will when I get home. That said I don't think lowering the gem count on abaddon and lucifer so you can't spam them indefinitely is a bad idea. In fact I think 30 gems is a good amount. I can see how this will make some people unhappy (yourself obviously) but the typical gamer is not going to want to spam those guys indefinitely for relatively small gains. They'll find it tedious and burn out on the game. It's better the remove this as an option in my opinion. It also helps ensure the events feel special. You can only do them so often. This is how things used to be after all (before the lucky potion).

    Even if you have the old values you honestly were not gaining many gems each fight that way. It seems like the designers intent was for people to slowly build up and not have infinite access to gems. I think they'd be better off catering to the more typical players by keeping the current 30 gem reward but instead lowering the rest timer on abaddon and lucifer. This would allow people to farm a little better/faster without making people feel like they need to grind as much. Currently the timers feel a little long anyway. I'd suggest the following.

    Currently: 8 hour timer... every 15 min sped up is 1 gem
    Change it to: 4 hour timer... every 15 min sped up is 2 gems.

    Then if you really want to spam abaddon/lucifer... you still can. you just need to wait 15-30 minutes and then it's similar to what it used to be. That will only slow you down a little and will make things a lot better for the typical players.



    As for your loss of gems etc, that stinks dude but I'm sure Andre will take care of you. He seems to be a very proactive developer so cut him some slack ;- )




    EDIT: I'm also fine with the luck potion costing 50. It was pretty darn good before. And it still will be pretty darn good. Assuming you fight abaddon and lucifer only... you get an extra 150 gems for spending 50. That said... if you sprinkle in some other fights then this quickly becomes a losing proposition.

    Speaking of which... one comment I meant to post here but kept forgetting about was.... it'd be helpful if the lucky potion were treated like health potions. Specifically I think it should be an activatable item that you can select to use on any given fight. So each lucky potion costs 5 gems and lasts one fight but you can choose which one.

    The reason for this suggestion is... right now I feel like I CANT save my villagers or do other small levels profitably... as it will just waste one round of my lucky potion. It almost discourages me from playing outside of abaddon and lucifer actually which is something I don't think you want to encourage as a developer. Make us play more. This new system would not be any more powerful but a whole lot more flexible for the users... Just my two cents.

    Uhm... yeah... ^THIS^

    If we ever start awarding TA members for best, most thoughtful, useful posts...

    Your thoughts and ideas (OK, many of them I've already suggested to Andre, so full disclosure there) are not only good, but well-stated.:D

    People don't like hearing it, but the REAL trick is to find the balance between the developers making money and the players feeling like they're winning. It cannot be only one or the other...

    Nobody,messes with the abbadon gems! Whyd u guys pretty much half tye amount of gems you get from abbadon?! That was the only way i could get profit for gems quickly and now its RUINED. I still cant beat lucifer and dont really care to. Why did u have to HALF THE amount of hems abbadon gives you. It was perfectly reasonable!

    Thanks champion64

    half? Was I doing something wrong before? I used to get like 36 gems... Now I get 30...

    The only other change is the cost in the lucky potion... but that's 20 gems over 10 fights or 2 gems per fight...

    Am I missing something?

    EDIT: Also... I still like these previous ideas I had. They were rough and would need some polishing... but I think they'd help get more variance in people's heroes (great for when challenging friends) and make it feel a little more RPG like. Not to mention give you something fun on each level up. Most levels don't matter to me honestly as I don't even come close to buying most armors/etc. I buy one every like 20 levels...

    @Eflin, Champion64: we have re-balanced them in this version. Because we have taken Lucifer comes back, so we change value of Abaddon's gems. But in next version, we will consider to find the way to take gems to normal. I'm sorry about that, my friend.

    No worries. Although for the record (and per my post yesterday) I think it's fine as is... I'd rather see the timers reduced instead (again per my post yesterday)

    I just didn't get what he meant by halving the amount of gems at first and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something... but thinking about it more I think he means that he just can't infinitely spam abaddon and make a profit now (36 gems - 32 gem speed up cost = 4 gems in old version... now it's 30 gems - 32 gem speed up cost = -2 gems... not to mention this increase in lucky potion)
