  • Lack of investment and knowledge killing off the game

    Ok so we already know koc is an older game, from the laying off of two or more GM's associated with this game who actually spent some time trying to improve it we can assume koc falls into the no more investment category of the below article.

    Kabam will rally its developers around triple-A mobile games, but it will also exit businesses that aren't meeting itsĀ goals.


    My question is this Chou states that he will maintain them for players that still enjoy them! Why then does it appear to those inside the game that you are trying to kill it off? Grail fragments a good idea very poorly put into action. We cannot defend 5 cities and 50 wilds and why bother for such poor poor prizes or save all that up for a kabams chance (almost no chance) of a good item. Next comes season 5 and tbh I'm at a loss for words that wont get me banned, seasons 1-4 and purgatory I put either a lot or fair amount of effort into even reaching the top 5 in two events and top 10 in another as the prizes were in my mind at least worth me spending either my time and or money trying to obtain. Season 5 however is a dead loss I really hope you will at least be running grail wars still over this time others wise it looks like I will be joining others in taking 3 weeks off along with many other players.

    I completely agree with Yeti. A lot of us have been playing less with the lame prizes for grail fragments. Global chat has gotten much quieter since grail fragments begn. Now season 5 has terrible prizes as well. Quite a few people are talking about taking 3 weeks off, just logging in to say hi and collect daily prizes. As it gets quieter and quieter, there is less reason to play.

    PLEASE keep grail wars going during this next 3 weeks to keep players engaged.

    Please also seriously consider delaying the start of season 5 and taking some time to work out a better prize list - one that players actually want to compete to win.

      In 128, there has been a big decline in event participation. It is evident by the lower might/kills required to place well in a comp compared to a few weeks ago before the grail barter system was introduced.

      Maintain =

      1. Keep the servers live
      2. Reduce staff dedicated to game
      3. Reduce staff administrative time by:
      - a. Reducing number of daily Flash events
      - b. Implementation of barter system for prizes to further reduce number of Flash events for specific prizes
      - c. For long duration events, remove a portion of events provided in the past, i.e. no 12 hour event in Season 5
      4. Reduce prize quality in an effort decrease interest of participants to slowly divest investment in development

      As Chou states, they are redirecting staffing efforts into development of new games. Unfortunately their business strategy is alienating a diehard group of players. This group of players is rethinking their time and monetary investment in the Kabam corporation.
