Thank you for the feedback, but I would like to clarify and correct several aspects that the above commenter is under the impression on (While also offering a bit of story time for those who wish to read a bit about story):
- The idle game is designed to NOT BE COMPETITIVE, I can't stress this enough. It's meant to be a fun game for Streamers and their communities as they unlock characters, powers, and overall have fun with a little side FF inspired idle game.
- Leaderboards are just there to encourage networking between streamers, many of them hold little races among themselves, try to one up each other, and overall, they do share communities and friendships by now because of that.
- In past months, I held a small competition where the top 3 on Season 3, would get a character as a reward. This is not held anymore and the event ended. There is no rewards planned in the future again, and is what I assume ticked off the bad review above. The reward was a character of the choosing of the top 3 streamers (There was even a tie for 3rd position!, it was super exciting to witness as it came down to the very last minute)
- No foul play was observed, and no cheating was in place at the time the competition was being held. What above commenter considers cheating, is the use of Streamlabs or Nightbot as a player.
- The characters awarded are not overpower, or with the ability to do anything any other character can't do. What I assume he witness is a total end-game stream, with the character properly built, with the right set of Jobs and passives built, and automatically assumed its overpowered and unfair. That same set up would work with any other character in the rooster.
- Yes, many streams kind of play it "Solo" by having multiple bots act as players, but since there is no held competition, reward, or even recognition or glory, I not only don't mind at all if they do, I also believe people should have fun in whatever way they want. Many of these streams have studied the game way beyond most people do, and their input has been extremely helpful towards making the game better on small mechanics here and there.
- I understand the look leaderboards gives, but at the end of the day, this is a simple free game meant to help Streamers and their viewers while having fun playing FF. I am not holding an E-sport where being the top player is the be-all end-all goal, and I certainty won't go around streams dictating how to have fun, that's up to every streamer, and their communities to handle, I'm just making a game here where cool explosions happen, and where you can make Ward or Amarant as strong as you want him to be.
I just want it to be known, because this was sent to me by a friend (Spyder). I didn't post this message... This was done by another member who I was discussing stuff with.
I have requested that particular member "Dance" who isn't even from our community originally but came cause the game to take this down.
I do formally apologize because I do take some responsibility in this, because I didn't take the players anger seriously and didn't expect him to lash out.
Elbody! Keep doing good work.
Thank you for the kind response, I do appreciate you taking the time to address that response, it means a lot to a healthy community, and no worries, misunderstandings happen all the time, and I understand we can only do so much to stop other people from doing things.
Hope you continue having fun with the game!
