[Jugernugett]

When's update? Lol

[Imsebastiaanl]

As this my friends is why we generally do not quote specific dates. Another issue with a behind the scenes change is holding up the patch. Wednesday (or after) it is.

Can you please read my post?

Level cap raise is still a bit further out. Happy leveling.

[MightyMicah]

Well Sam, thanks for at least giving us an estimate, I like that better than just.........SURPRISE! Lol I appreciate it.

[Snakespeare]

It's a brilliant idea. That's why I like it. It takes away nothing that we were using, and it gets them the Money needed to pay the developers.

K thx.

[Riccits]

Useless now, but useful for plat. And as much as I am against this, it is a brilliant idea and will be a huge success. Of that I am certain.

yes for next dungeons, if u have ur toon already at elite level and u prefer save time but spend plat to get ur equip this is a good way. should there be more pinks in cs it will lower the horrend prices too, so i kinda like it, not even sure if i ever will use.

[Snakespeare]

I intend to try it about ten times before I decide. Now that I'm L65, I don't need to spend plat on 4x XP pots, and with any luck the drop rate will give me at least one pink over 10 tries. My 4x pot never gave me a single pink. Then I'll decide if I feel it was worth it to me. The pinks that drop are all better than the ones you can buy for plat, so it will beat that, at least.

[springtime]

It seems crazy to charge for premium play. What about kids who can't really get plat In Relation to adults with endless supply of cash. What happened to this game. It used to be really fun. Now pinks rarely drop and you can't really make any money.

Is it so difficult to statistically figure out a good drop rate ratio. Why can't bosses in gauntlets just drop pink on occasion. It all does not make sense anymore....something is off here. You should be motivating us to play instead of charging us for everything.

I also agree with victory lap.. Keep it as is please..it's the only useful map there is.

Developers Please reconsider the direction you are going with this game.

Hey Springtime,

I'd like to invite you to re-read my original post:

I want to elaborate on the addition of a new Boss Gauntlet area to Mount Fang. There has always been some confusion with the Boss Gauntlet areas. Players generally expect the bosses drop all of their loot, however they don't in the current Boss Gauntlets. These gauntlets were intended as quick ways for players to hone their skills for the boss. If you want a chance at the full loot, you need to fight in through the full zone to get to the boss and take them down there. The reality is that the current Boss Gauntlets are very rarely played.

After the patch we have planned for Tuesday, the a new Boss Gauntlet will be added to Mount Fang that will be upgraded to give the full loot tables to the bosses. To maintain the rarity of the ep1c lewtz it will use the Premium Access System that was used by the Winter Festival. This gives players an option when farming for loot. They can play for free, as they always have, and do runs of the current zones, fighting in to the boss and taking them down for their loot. Or, you can pay Platinum to access the upgraded Boss Gauntlet and farm there.

In the future, we intend to offer this type of content for all level ranges, from Forest Haven's Boss Gauntlet on up. We will not remove any currently existing Boss Gauntlets, but will instead add new ones for Premium Access.

Spacetime Studios philosophy with premium options is just that – they are optional. All players can play Pocket Legends from level 1 to the elite level cap without paying any real world money. We appreciate and value all of our players, however they choose to play. As always, thank you for your support.

I can well understand your perception. If I was in your shoes, I would undoubtedly feel the same way.

I would also argue that the game is doing fine and a whole lot of people have fun with it everyday. There is a reason that Spacetime Games are played over a million times every week.

YAY thanks Sam

[Samhayne]

Looks like I get to eat my hat again. Patch is being held up with a behind the scenes issue. Thanks for your patience.

[13lacklegionz]

So first I would like to say I love pl. I don't rage on forums and im not about to start. Just want to add my two cents. Back when lvl cap was 50 how many of these areas were already purchased will plat? Im just saying alot of us vets have already paid for this lower level and have fought and earned our way to access them. I agree that sts is a company and ur trying to make money to continue to bring us a great and awesome game. Please do again I love pl and the community. Just seems a lil unfair to have to pay for something we all ready paid for. Please don't flame or get carried away with this post just my option. And last thank you Sam and sts for all your hard work and for a great game.
Also Sam or flip let's do some pvp. Yeah im calling ya out lol.......just don't kill us to much lol have a great day!!!

You know they can set their characters' stats to whatever they want. Ex: 99999 dmg.

I look forward for the Patch this Month thread name update.
More time=more farming for WF.

[CrimsonTider]

Sam... just remember: "Roll Tide!"

[Appleisaac]

I don't get why people are mad about the new bossgauntlets costing plat. It isn't as bad as the WF because it wasn't like everyone was expecting new gauntlets for flat fee anyway! I might try a few out, but I wont be a regular on them! thanks for the 1v1 maps too! This will be a great solution to all those 1v1 vs FFA problems in pvp

Also didn't samhyne say that they wouldnt be getting rid of any old gauntlets?

[Shellkaz]

Sam, i can understand the reluctance to announce specific dates for updates, but, from my perspective, I'd rather cope with a delay, than to be shocked by an early release, like what happened with Fang.

Also there are wonderful "wiggle words" like expect or anticipate that let us all know that you are hoping to release something on a certain date, but the date is not set in stone.

Agreed, I think they get that now.

We are human afterall.

[Shastacola]

I wonder if anyone reading this has NEVER taken the free daily on any of their toons. I doubt it.

I can honestly say I have never accepted the free daily on two of my toons. :-) Thats why they are still lvl 12&20 something.

[Xcrucherx]

Nice update!!!
I really hope I get 66 before the new Lvl cap
