Give wartune a "red" light and prevent them from going onto steam

Wartune has made an announcement about 1-2 weeks ago that they want to be added to "Steam Greenlight"  When I first heard about it, I was quite annoyed because I have used Steam before and do chat with some of my family members on their chat program.  I told people that I knew that if Wartune would make it on Steam, I would boycott steam if it happens and will encourage others to do the same.  Apparently wartune paid $100 and is trying to get enough votes for the game to go on steam green. 

Based on some research I did, apparently after a company or anyone who made a game wants Steam Green to host their game, all they need to do is pay $100 and ask people to vote for it.  If they get enough votes ( haven't figured it out), then it goes through digital paperwork.  Since wartune is a pay to win game, they would also need to negotiate how much revenue sharing they would do. 

Unless I am interpreting this incorrectly, if steam accepts this game and ends up making money off this game through their revenue sharing, then stream will be supporting rotten customer service and I will start calling for the boycott of steam.  I strongly encourage ANYONE who uses steam and loves it to please vote "no" for wartune in their greenlight section.  You will be doing steam a huge favor in the long-run.  In addition, who knows if Wartune has any of their game content copyrighted since many other games uses identical features/names (term "sylphs" are used in League of Angels and wartune) in which steam needs to look into.

Proficient city incompetance after release of wartune v5.5

If proficient city & r2 keeps saying that they are sorry and sorry and sorry and sorry for all of their bugs and screw-ups, then why do they keep happening?  Why even bother forcing a random (or a server that spends the most) server to beta-test for bugs but doesn't actually fix them until a few days after it was released to all servers? 

Before I answer that question, I am going to go over a few stupid things yet again proficient city did after their newest update for wartune.  They claimed that all major events such as class wars, chaos war, class of the titans, and so forth was now suppose to be held on Tuesday and Thursday instead of Thursday & Saturday.  Also, they moved cross-server guild battle from Sunday to Saturday.  Guess what?  Somehow this week, the chaos war was scheduled for Thursday and Saturday.  The cross server guild battle is also on Saturday.  So these two events will overlap.  Kind of stupid especially since I would estimate there are about 200 competitive active players per server (probably drops about 1-2 per week).  And as usual, they give out crap rewards and pretend they are sorry which they are not because these things keep on happening and people continue to spend money and continue to reward proficient city with this kind of behavior. 

As long as proficient city keep coming up with strategic ways to get egotistic heavy cashers to keep on spending such as sweetening up the recharge deals and spending deals, heavy cashers will keep on paying.  Also, if people refuse to cancel their "VIP" membership (which you get crap junk and free cool-downs), you too are causing this kind of behavior.  Cancel your VIP and set up a macro (which I did and continue to use and will continue to use macro's on my account) until they stop. 

another example of r2 believing players only deserve five hours notice for a "weekly" maintenance

Yet again, r2 decides to notify their players that they are doing their "weekly" maintenance and only give players less than five hour notice.  Would you give a "five" hour notice that your child has to go to school in "five" hours?  Would you wait until "five" hours from now that you planned an event that you want your significant other to go to (especially if they will cancel all of their plans)?  Would your hair stylist tell you "five" hours from now that you need to come in and get your hair done (I am sure you would look for a new one if they would pull something like that now would you)?  If your answer is "no" to any of my analogy that I placed, why do you continue spending money on wartune?

Wartune, please tell me how hard is it to tell players that your weekly maintenance will always occur on X day @ 4:00AM?  It is NOT hard at all, it is easy.  So quit doing that and players, quit rewarding them for this kind of crap. 

R2/proficient believes one hour notice for a major game chance maintenance is enough notice for their players

Way to go again for two maintenances in a row.  Another ONE HOUR notice before pulling servers down which occurred on 1/25/2016.  The maintenance is for major game changes.  So, are cashers not entitled for this information?  You know, if people had an advance notice that the next update was coming on 1/25/2016, I bet there are players out there that would take off from their job and plan accordingly.  But does r2 & proficient city do that?  Nope. 

I honestly don't get why r2/proficient pulls this kind of crap.  I also don't get why cashers (ANY cashers, including people who spend $7.99 per month on their VIP status) put up with this.  So, people who spend ANY kind of money are to blame. 

I also noticed that in this maintenance, they are changing major events like dates for cross-server guild battle (was on Sunday now will be Saturday) , class/chaos wars (Thursday/Saturday now on Tuesday/Thursday).  I will argue that this is a major change because some people made sure that they can attend these events before playing but now..... there will be some people who spend money on this game and these new dates won't work for them.  The game should have gave all players a month notice for these changes.   So again, thank you cashers for rewarding, and I am sure you cashers will continue to reward r2/proficient city because you will see a deal and be like, "OMG, I never seen these items 5% off, I need to buy them!"

I wonder how many people will recharge after this maintenance today?  Also, how about how many new bugs will people find?  Based on what the bugs that occurred for arena rewards couple months ago, I bet these date changes for the events will be fowled up. 

Yet another major bug on wartune

Kuudos to people who utilized the latest reported major bug on wartune pertaining to an event called "Sacred golden tree."  Quoted from  "Wartune Balen Guide:"

"In the Gold Tree, the game was checking if you have the balens or not for the draw - but it did not do the same check when counting attempts used and giving awards for them. This way, people who used the hack could get 700+ golden want each time the Gold Tree popped."
The only thing I could find on the internet showing this bug is here. Quoting more from the balen guide:

 "Back in the early times of Wartune, the thing which impressed me most was the low number of bugs, and the security of the game: there were no cheats, hacks, the game was checking everything thoroughly server-side. In other words, my account was safe, I knew whatever I achieve by spending time and money, will not be outdone by people who can use simple hacks which add them millions of balens or other goodies. The game is now bugged beyond belief, so I'm afraid there are now more vulnerablities as well. Hackers either discovered these or will discover."

This is the third major bug that has been noted on wartune.  It seems that cashers don't seem to care that wartune lately has been quite vulnerable to bugs and the developers do an awful job at trying to fix it.   I am respecting cashers less and less each time a bug is found. 

So if you do play wartune, it seems like if you re-arrange items or can't buy an item because you don't have enough in-game currency; close it out, and re-open (or re-fresh the game), you may get duplicate items or the game may think you did some attempts and qualified you for some free attempts! 

proficient city believes 30 minute notice for"regular" maintenance is enough time

Again r2 believes players are entitled for a 30 minute notice before they do a server maintenance on 1/22/2016.  On top of that, they won't even go into detail on what changes they are making.     It is quite rude and disrespectful to players if you only allow this kind of short notice.  You ONLY give this kind of notice for an emergency maintenance, not for regular maintenance.  Besides, why even bother for a maintenance when you have planning on adding more junk to the game in a few more days? 

Shame on the cashers who keep rewarding this kind of behavior by forking over their wallets.

player vs player

Games like wartune offer their characters to battle each other in a group or solo setting.  Usually, the winner gets rewards and the loser can get some rewards (at least 50% less than winners) or lose something like rank or an attribute.  At times, I wonder why heavy cashers even bother with some player vs player (pvp) events because they are willing to spend their money to buy items that are offered in pvp shops.  Also, pvp can be time consuming.  If a casher wants to save time, they should skip pvp and buy the items. 

 I get quite annoyed when I run into a heavy casher in pvp because at times I wonder if they really need the items they are trying to get in pvp shops.  They have enough cash to buy items, why make someone else life miserable or set them back?  A player gloating/bragging about their strength just makes it worse because I interpret it as they support rotten service, they liked having things jammed up their tush, and they are rich and rather spend money on themselves before others.  (I am sure there are players who are not fortunate and trying to pay bills, why not help them out instead?)

 I believe that for battles in which you are able to get items for winning,  you should only be allowed certain amount of wins before you can't get anymore items.  Also, if you lose, that loss shouldn't be counted.  Instead, let that player try again and keep trying until they reached the cap.  This would solve some of this.  Also, people similar strength should be paired up but that will be saved for another topic.

I also believe that in pvp events, there should be an option to increase your strength during a battle and it should be dependent on how much in-game currency you spent on the game along with your strength.  Thus if you run into an extremely strong character, you can spend a tiny amount on in-game currency to boost your stats for that battle while that casher needs to spend copious amounts to respond to the boost.   Let the casher burn a lot of their money if they choose to respond (and make the game more money) if they desperately want to be ranked a top player or desperately want items in which it would be cheaper for them to buy.

These suggestions in my opinion should solve most issues with pvp events and probably attract more players (and encouraging many more players to spend a little amount per month thus increasing revenue for the game) to their game. 

I heard many good things about a solid state drive (such as how it reduces the time your computer starts/shut down because all of the data is readily accessible and not like a traditional hard drive where it has to find it on a disk) and I have been getting sick and tired of the lag that wartune provides.  So I took some advice and built a new computer.  Well I had no other choice but to build one if I wanted to go solid state route.  Anyhow, my thinking was that if I would get a better computer (16GB ram, 8GB graphics card) this would eliminate the problems I was having on wartune. 

I was wrong.  It did however help greatly with the lag and I can record my game w/o my game crashing so I can see if my macro's are working, but at times, the game crashes and I get black screens.  I honestly don't understand how some people would rather spend $5,000 on items in the game where they mark them down and in return have to deal with these problems. 


Can someone please explain to me why you spend under these conditions?
