Also, to add to this, since it seems like we’re stuck with these changes, what I’d need at minimum to be able to keep playing the game:
Larger icons (for everything that was made smaller, such as the chests, gear, etc)
relocated gear button
Battles not being all on once screen and requiring scrolling
More info on gear, spell, and minion icons (name added back at minimum)
Sorting being similar to 1.2 again (can sort items by type of equipment without having to select a slot on your character first, sorts not only greying things out, no more multiple taps on the same thing doing something different for each tap, etc.)
Would you devs at least let us know whether or not you are going to fix the trainwreck the gear layout has become? I’d like to know now so I can uninstall instead of waiting/hoping for a fix.
So we, the players, provided detailed feedback on all the ways the devs made the game basically a miserable experience instead of a game players can’t wait to spend lots of time playing and instead of truly acknowledging this or making a sincere effort to improve the game, the devs come back with a message that this new nightmare was a step in the right direction? Okay.
The new update caused a huge issue with mass salvaging gear, so the devs suspend the gear vault overflow message so that the didn’t become literally unplayable. But they announced that at reset today, they would turn that message back on because they’ve fixed the issue AND they’re going to finally give us more gear space (not enough by any means, but more). Okay.
At least an hour before reset, now salvaging gear isn’t possible at all and the game completely freezes and has to be manually forced close. But we just hope this isn’t the promised new hotfix because the gear vault overflow message still isn’t appearing. So we hope everything will be working correctly after daily reset. Okay.
Daily reset hits and the game is literally and physically unplayable. Because the gear vault overflow message IS turned back on AND you still can’t salvage even once piece of gear. So you can’t play the game. At all. And the eagerly awaited extra gear space means absolutely nothing because THERE IS NO EXTRA GEAR SPACE AND YOU CAN’T EVEN PLAY THE GAME. You can’t play in any mode because you can’t get your gear down to the limit. And you can’t salvage your gear. And the game just keeps freezing over and over and over again.
What are the devs even doing?
It is starting to feel like they are deliberately trying to tank this game.
And that makes me incredibly sad as I’ve been playing Puzzle Quest games for over 15 years now on a variety of formats and I’ve been playing PQ3 for almost a year and a half.
And I’m a fan who has paid out money to support this game.
And I just want to delete it from all my devices and walk away because I’m so frustrated right now.
You guys must be bleeding players and yet you don’t seem capable of righting this sinking ship and I’m just so very sad. And frustrated. And angry. And disappointed.
And I’m not the only one.
I really wish I could play the game but I guess rolling out the hotfix on time was more important than making sure it actually worked and including the one thing you promised.
You made me create a forum account to post this. I’m assuming this was your master plan all along. Need to drive up those forum account numbers.
I’m with you here. I got sick of asking whether or not they were going to fix the gear layout. For some reason the devs won’t answer. I uninstalled and now I just come to the forums on occasion to watch the sh*tshow.
