It would be shame if player communication and sharing of information is being use to direct development, while player feedback appears of secondary importance.

Great, I'm not the only one feeling like this is a thing that is happening.

Or.... somebody published a guide for using weak point potions to farm witch towers from DB, those went away and now we've got assassins instead.

On the contrary you can also tell just how long they have been working on Ali Baba, one of the earlier questlines rewarded Ranged Support instead of Arrows lol
...and of course nobody to double check the data, obviously.

I'd really love for the dev team or somebody to gang up on the person that is doing all these, eh, fantastic changes and have said person be thrown in the forum for 24h and the key thrown away so it can't escape...and please let it be the same person that is responsibile for the loot revamp as well.

The writing between the lines...

If you find some strategy that makes life much easier for you, don't share it on the forums. Bottom-line, they'll take it away.

TBH, guide makers should stop sharing publicly. If 99% of the people can't block on 1001 adventures, they will have to nerf the adventure to an acceptable level (cause the current barracks train compared to losses is NOT acceptable). But with current blocks, it is almost tolerable thanks to guide makers.

Use the forums to complain and nothing more.

While we are giving warnings...

There was a bug with the Easter event on the test server that if you use the buff option to remove the Party Crasher camp it locks up the quest forever. Although my command of French it terrible, it is nice to know that bug went live and we will probably have to enjoy it next week. Keep that in mind when you look at the achievements to level up the spacious warehouse.

I have a feeling this will be another one of those you will get credit for the achievement after the event things.

that bug has always been on test with the golem so why wouldn't it come back with party crashers?

Adventure: Rearanged the camps in "secluded Experiments" to ensure the player has to defeat other camps before the boss

I assume there's some change for this.

lol, that WILL deter the few of us who run it from continuing to do so. What could their long-term pans be to nerf and alter adventures like the Nords series and SE (which is not a popular selection in any case)?

...The troubling part is that there really is no loss from this for advanced players. It will have a larger impact on lower levels, which seems to be a developing trend where changes are made that disproportionately impact lower players because of the relative ease for more advanced players. This may represent an intrinsic problem with the game where there is a failure to adequately scale the difficulty with player advancement. The other question is the timing of these changes, following the publishing of quick versions of The Nords adventure. It would be shame if player communication and sharing of information is being use to direct development, while player feedback appears of secondary importance.

Yes, pretty much hit the nail on the head. These changes will not effect advanced players, many who will never run Nord's based adventures (Nord's, IotN (unless you have lots of cash to spend trying to get the FM), SA, Bastille Island and Arctic Explosion) anyways, and if they do, they can counter changes as you have described.

Clearly, there is no regard for lower levels. With the current strategies I see, many players who stick with the game through level 26, will find the going too tough to stick with and will wander to other games.

I think you are on to something. Stupid me for thinking that BB might earnestly like experienced players aiding others... Oh, well. Mother always did say that thinking was not my strong suit.
