Ninja Turtles Collaboration
- Appears as the second collaboration.
- It seems to be in the same format as the Lara Croft event.
- Pre-orders will begin on November 25th, and the event will begin on December 2nd for over two weeks.
- Collaboration skins will appear in conjunction.
- Seems to be a very powerful new hero.
New Hero: Ninja Turtles
Luther and Ishmael collaboration skins
Update on Cybernetic Skins for Mobile
- Massey, and Shroom, Aidan, Kayla seem to be the targeted heroes.
- It is unknown if the web version will be updated as well, since the skin specifications for the web and mobile versions are different these days.
GDEV Announces Unaudited Results for the 3rd Quarter of 2024
- GDEV is the holding company for Nexters, which operates Hero Wars.
- This is not investment advice, but rather a player’s perspective.
https://www.gdev.inc/news-and-events/press-releases/financial-results-2024-Q3
Operating highlights
Diversification
Key points I personally paid close attention to:
- Despite the poor market conditions in the gaming industry (since 2023, it is estimated that more than 25% of developers in the gaming industry have been laid off, and many companies are reporting losses), the company is profitable.
- Compared to the previous year, the profit margin is smaller. Available funds are $153 million
- Advertising spending is increased to attract users.
- Operating costs have been reduced. They were reduced by almost 10%.
- The product portfolio is still based on Hero Wars.
Official Community Manager FAQ
Titles are tailored to the content.
1. Request to Add Runes to the Event Shop
- Q. Hello nexters , can we please get more enchantment runes in event shops, even with max activity this takes ages to get . I am aware that dolls can drop them but this is not really a optimal buy if you don’t care for the hero and it’s random
- A. I will pass your suggestions on to the developers.
2. Suggestions for Improving the Brawl Shop Items
- Q. Can we get also for a fix for the Items in the Shop. There are no red artefacts, no glyphs, no ascension material. Judge would be pretty weak without them
- A. Currently, no changes will be made to the ongoing event, but I will pass on your suggestions. They might be considered for future Brawls.
3. Bug in the Brawl Shop
- Q. the purchase for this is glitched, the skinstone chest alone is only getting purchased one by one instead of menu to buy more, please fix it . thank you
- A. Thank you, this has already been reported. Let me suggest you to always submit a ticket to technical support whenever you encounter technical issues or similar glitches. This is the fastest way to help resolve the problem.
4. Add Polaris to the Hero Soul Stone Chest
- Q. It has been a long time since polaris release, shouldn’t we have her available in hero soul chest by now?
- A. Like with many other Heroes, she eventually end up in soul chests after some time. However, I don’t have any dates to share at the moment.
5. Request to Increase Guild Recruitment Channels
- Q. lets please do something about the guild-recruitment’s channel 6 hours slowmode
with more and more servers being created the need to announce guild recruitment posts increases as well. 6 hour slow mode on the recruitment channel doesn’t look appropriate.
easiest solution would be to have 2 channels for recruitment, one for server 1-250 (or 200, you have the data) guilds and a 2nd one for 251- guilds. - A. Alright, we will work on setting up new channels for guild recruitment.
6. What Happens in Case of a False Ban?
- Q. Hello Moderator some players are receiving temporary bans (so far) for regular activities like opening several energy potions in mails they have stored or losing their connexion during a fight. So I have 2 questions. Firstly, are the developers going to address this issue ? And secundly, are the bans always going up until permanent ban ? Will there be a reset after some time ? Especially since regular activity can get you a ban…
- A. Please write your in-game ID to Discord @Dromm Bot (Mod Mail) if you encountered this issue. I will send the profile for a manual review so our specialists can check what might have triggered the system.
7. Is Titan Uncap a Marketing Gimmick?
- Q. So I have to say that Nexters has really bad developers and not much better marketing psychologists. The sales trick of first setting the frame of reference at 193 and then taking it to the planned 130 was pretty transparent. And the number 130 is already so familiar to everyone from the game that not many people will really get upset about it.
Nexters, you’re not satisfying me with this. I can now raise my Titans from 120 to 130 with a lot of expensive resources and then do exactly the same thing with them ………………………..as I do now. Where is the added value for me? That’s not how you get my money anymore.
Nexters, I would like to see more innovative developments in the game, balance for f2p players and whales and less sales mumbo jumbo! - A. There’s no need to always look for hidden meanings and conspiracy theories.
8. Future Cost Predictions for Titans
- Q. For those who are interested: this could be(!) the future costs to raise titans and totems from 120 to 130. I extrapolated current costs for 1 to 120 incl. the extrapolation of the increased marginal cost (the increasing cost per level).
Note that its “only” an extrapolation of the current costs. Nexters might of course alter the model, i.e. potentially either increasing or decreasing marginal costs. Or change the costs over all.
However, if they keep the current model, raising a titan would cost an equivalent of 77 EUR (based on Sale x5 as VIP 15), a totem 57 EUR and a full team of 5 titans and 2 totems would be roughly 500 EUR. Good times … - A. Let’s not speculate or make assumptions until the official announcement of the feature release date and its actual numbers reveal
9. Titan Uncap Date: 22nd
- Q. please have Nexter delay the release of 130 titans. Changes this big should be announced earlier and allow players to prepare for it. Also please have major changes like this done in between CoW seasons and not in the middle of one.
- A. According to the information available at the moment, the release of this feature is scheduled for the 22nd
10. Titan Uncap for Budget Planning?
- Q. Dear Nexter$…. Seems like you have reading comprehension issues… You are doing the same trick to us again, despite i told you that most people already see through it (and who do not, we shall open their eyes as well) . I kindly recommended you to forget lvl 130 and lets just stick to 120 in this post
- A. In any online game, there will always come a point when the leveling cap is increased. This is done not only to provide new progression for players, but also to ensure there are resources available for creating content in other areas of the game.
11. Reverse QA
- So, friends, 99% of the messages on the Starboard were dedicated to the Titan update. Most of them are no longer relevant as the plans for the update have changed. news Many of these messages were highly emotional, and that’s understandable. Everyone had the opportunity to express their opinion, sometimes even crossing the line of decency, which I do not approve of. However, it was telling. All feedback has been processed and taken into account. Let’s continue with constructive communication from this point forward.
- Reading all your messages this week has been incredibly fascinating. So much so that I started going outside more often and touching the grass. I don’t think it would be entirely fair to say that we ‘ignored’ the responses, especially since I literally wrote that they were processed and, as you noticed, changes were also made to the initial update plan.
12. Perspective of New Players
- Q. Newcomers? They dont know how the game was in the past, and how much greed Nexters showed in the past years and how it changed the game over time. They dont have the experience we, veteran players do. Involving them in such disputes is like asking my 3 months old little one which political party she prefers….So maybe let us not involve them for the time being?
- A. Am I correct in understanding that you are discriminating against newcomers and consider yourself better than them? Everyone is welcome on our server.
13. Not as Advertised
- Q. it depends on everyone’s own preference. Some may prefer the game, some prefer the ads. But fact is that the ads are false.
- A. I once drank an advertised energy drink, but wings didn’t grow, and I didn’t start flying.
14. Ninja Turtles Event Duration Details
- Q. also event will last from december 2nd to 20th!?
- A. Almost the whole month of Turtle Fun!
15. Ninja Turtles Soul Stones
- Q. and just like Lara, soul stones only available during the event?
- A. Right, it will work in a similar way.
16. Can New Players Obtain Ninja Turtles Soul Stones?
- Q. I mean, new players who will start HW after the event ends?
- A. They will be able to get them if the collaboration is resumed. This is a common practice for time-limited collaborations.
17. Will Ninja Turtles Events Be Held in the Future?
- Q. uhm…. So eventually this turtle collaboration event will happen again in the future? Is my understanding correct?
- A. it might* happen.
18. Are Ninja Turtles Upgrades Budgeted Like Regular Heroes?
- Q. ×4 turtles means ×4 Money?
- A. Nope
19. Who Will Be the Next Hero Collaboration After Ninja Turtles?
- Q. ninja turtles? really? what will be next?? teletubbies??
- A. Teletubbies can’t beat Maestro, IMO
20. Do You Need to Upgrade All Four Ninja Turtles?
- Q. will there be 4 new heroes, i hope not
- A. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to see all the Ninja Turtles in battle, but within the game mechanics, they will be counted as one hero.
21. Ninja Turtles Skins
- Q. All 4 turtles, and each turtle has skins to look like the other 3.
Leonardo with Michaelangelo skin to throw some people off - A. one skin – trench coat! haha
22. Josephine’s Marginalized Role
- Q. I want to make a Josephine image crying while watching the new turtles joining hero wars but my photoshop skills are let’s just say not good
- A. I’ll be waiting for that meme!
23. Information on New Hero and Pet for Winterfest
- Q. also can u pls ask the devs or the planning team about the new pet and wf hero thing
hoping for smth positive for us - A. If information starts to surface, I’ll pretend to keep my lips sealed, but I’ll give you a hint.
