Official Message: June events! 

  • 🌸 June arrives in Dominion! A new month means a fresh event calendar, familiar activities, and several surprises along the way.
  • And one more thing, Guardians: starting this month, the order of posts in the feed will change a little. We’ll be reducing the number of regular recurring event publications, but don’t worry — all Energy rewards will still be evenly distributed throughout the month.
  • So if you ever need to double-check what’s coming next, this calendar post will always help you stay on track!

Titles are tailored to the content.

1. Great Storm Temporarily Removed, Future Revamp Under Consideration

  • Q. For me removing Great Storm (if that is what’s happened) is such a slap in the face for newer players..
  • A. As promised, I’m returning to give a bit of context.
    We’ve been looking at some of the older events in our rotation and whether they still make sense in today’s game. Great Storm is one of the events that hasn’t really been updated in a very long time, and we’ve seen a fair amount of feedback over the years that some of its rewards are no longer particularly useful for many players.
    So for now we’ve decided to take it out of the schedule rather than keep running it unchanged.
    That doesn’t automatically mean it’s gone forever, but if we ever bring it back, I’d much rather see it return in a refreshed form than continue exactly as it was.

2. Reward Updates for Great Storm Under Consideration

  • Q. Rather than removing it, why not just update the reward options? With brawls gone we lose soul atrium quests. With great storm gone, temporarily or not, we lose quite a few pet quests. Guess should it ever come back updated it will have excessive quests of spend emeralds and get vip. Also, there hasn’t been a survey for the new titan events. Do we get to have any input on them?
  • A. Update is on the table, but there is no certainty at the moment, so I can’t confirm unfortunately

3. June’s “???” Is Not Great Storm

  • Q. So is that what the 3 question marks are on the June calendar? An updated great storm?
  • A. No, it’s gone for the time being

4. Titan AoC Feedback Reported to the Development Team

  • Q. This is 💩 . Rather than giving us heal potions for quests we’d be doing anyways, they’re want us to use up our Totan Sphere just to play AoC rather saving them for other quests.
    Update: Worst part of this is that we used to get immediate rewards for the opening the Sphere. Here, you used them up mostly the Hearts we used to get for free, and then you might get bulldozed by a much strong or cheating account sharing team making the hearts you “bought” pretty worthless.
    I suspect that if this stay here, people we be “forced” to spend Emeralds for Healing potions.
    As with any competitive “advantage”, it’s really more of a “requirement” in order compete.
    In the long run, if you don’t use up for Spheres for this, you might end up with less Patterns at the end of the event, and the whole AoC Titan event is probably pretty worthless because you can’t compete in it even if you’re lucky enough to get “fairly” matched opponents in the event.
  • A. Hi! Yes, I’ve noted all your feedback about Titan AoC and included it to the digest for the dev team. No promises at this point but we will be monitoring your feedback and in-game data and there might be tweaks to the mode in the future.

5. Titan AoC Introduced to Expand Gameplay Variety

[Hero Wars] Territory of Titans
  • Q. Seems like Nexters has found a solution for reducing the “draw-problem” in COW: Just forcing enough players to quit the game and by this, to reduce the amount of “draw-competitive” guilds. Almost unbelievable from how many players of several guilds I have heard in the last week that they quit or want to quit within the next weeks.
    Almost always with the reason that it’s becoming too time-consuming and that this seems to get worse from month to month. And it is getting worse: even AoC seems to be becoming “standard” twice a month, with the unspeakable “Titan Auto Mode AoC”… I have no idea how someone could design such a boring and stupid game mode, and now even every month. The only reason I can imagine for implementing this game mode monthly is that they want to get rid of players and reduce the number of regular players.
    Which brings me back to where I started: fewer (strong) players, fewer “COW-draw-competitive” guilds, fewer draws in COW. Problem solved 😉
  • A. I understand the concern about time commitment, and you’re definitely not the first person to bring it up.
    Of course, the goal of introducing Titan AoC wasn’t to reduce the number of players or guilds, that’s absolutely not our plan.
    The idea was to add more gameplay variety and with your feedback we will be considering possible tweaks and changes.

6. Exploring Skin Sales Options for Maxed-Out Players

[Hero Wars Guide] Weekly Report 2026.Week23
  • Q. It’s nonsense…players with max heroes power can’t compete in this tournament…Nexters promised not to do it…it unfair
  • A. I hear your concerns about skins in ToP and part of it I addressed earlier https://h-w.fun/en/report-2026-week22/#rtoc-27
    But I wanted to add couple of points.
    We see your feedback on the max power issue, and there’s not much we can do here in terms of how the tournament is set up in general, but I’ve brought it up to the dev team.
    I think it is absolutely a fair point that players that have every hero/titan maxed out can’t get the skins earlier. They will be added to the subsequent sale next month, but I will bring it up to the team to see if we can make them available for purchase in the same sale that runs with ToP. No promises at this point but I agree with you, a discussion around the issue is very much needed.

7. Concerns Over ToP Rewards Acknowledged, No Changes Planned

  • Q. ToP is a dead game mode for me, the system it self is the reason why most player have 0 chances to get first place. If you pay more and have not levelled a lot of heros you win. But if you F2P or nearly maxxed out (like 200-300K) away from maxxed you have no chance or if you have no ressources. So pay more and only level during ToP and you win mostly.
    And set skins or patterns as first price is a really worse idea
  • A. Answered about ToP earlier, so I won’t repeat myself. But your concerns are heard

8. No Plans to Separate Guildmates in ToP

[Hero Wars Guide] Tournament of Titan Power
  • Q. Can I make a suggestion that guildmates not be lumped into the same bracket in ToP? It sucks having to compete with guildies for resources instead of working together.
  • A. That’s an interesting idea, however, ToP is not a guild mode, I don’t think we will change that. But I do get where you’re coming from, you want to keep the team spirit up 🙂

9. Explanation Planned for the Mysterious Island Pattern Chest Issue

[Hero Wars Guide] Mysterious Island 22 adam_map view
  • Q. Nexters. This is absolutely outrageous. This Mysterious Map Island only went up during the Adam event (i.e. a week ago) and yet the pattern chests in 80000 coin, 15 pattern chest tower are a very old pattern chest that do not contain the Barrier pattern. Yet the pattern chest that contains the Barrier pattern has been available for some time now. So long in fact that I already had 28 pattern chests containing this pattern. Players have literally no way of knowing from a mouseover on the tower showing that there are 15 pattern chests in that tower that it is not the latest pattern chest as they all have the same icon and name. I LITERALLY SPENT 53 EXPLORER MOVES on the basis of this being the latest chest. I didn’t need 80000 Coins. I already had a six star Adam. I did it specifically to get those patterns so I could get a red Barrier pattern.
    This is outright deception and I request an immediate escalation from your support to address this in retrospect. That means converting those 15 pattern chests to the correct type. Not some apology or “we will try to do better in future” non answer but an actual fix.
  • A. Good question and reasonable feedback. Right now I can’t provide you with all the context, but I will confirm with the team and return with some explanation on how new patterns added to the map and such. I think it would be good for players to know how it works (similar to how I explained hero soul stones and titans previously)

10. Barrier Pattern to Follow the Standard Release Schedule

Good question and reasonable feedback. Right now I can’t provide you with all the context, but I will confirm with the team and return with some explanation on how new patterns added to the map and such. I think it would be good for players to know how it works (similar to how I explained hero soul stones and titans previously)

  • Q. Nexters, as I have said it is outright deceptive to put an old chest on the map when they have an ambiguous name and icon for pattern chests that all look the same on a tower mouseover. Players literally have no way of telling in advance that it is an old chest so waste the 53 explorer moves only to feel betrayed like I feel now.
    So just to be clear, it is not an explanation am after. I really don’t care how or why the developers decided to rip off players by putting an old pattern chest on a current Mysterious Island map and no amount of “explanation” will help. What I care about is a fix for those that got ripped off and an explanation on how you are going to prevent a similar situation in the future. To be really specific:
    • Everyone that got a pattern chest off the Adam event specific Mysterious Island map should have their pattern chests converted to the current one that includes the Barrier pattern.
    • All existing pattern chests should be given a name and icon that are unique so that when players mouse over the rewards on the map they can tell at a glance what is in there BEFORE they spend the moves to get the Tower. My suggestion is put a number in the name “Pattern Chest 7” and have an icon that is the chest with 7 written on it. This means if you put an old chest on there players will notice from mouseover and can make an informed decision. This same suggestion would apply to flag chests which have had the same issue in the past. Nexters put the very first flag chest that only contained one flag option on a Mysterious Island map when later flag chests had been out for months, causing complaints.
  • A. Following up on this as promised here – QA No.9
    I’d like to provide some additional context on how the Pattern release cycle works.
    New Patterns are released through special offers first. After that starting from the following calendar month, they are added to the weaving patterns event, after that they’re added to AoC rewards, and lastly to the seasonal map.
    In the case of Barrier Pattern, the chest on the Mysterious Island was tied to an older Pattern pool and therefore did not include the newly released Pattern. Barrier will become available through the universal Pattern Chest according to the standard release schedule.
    That said, the feedback regarding chest identification is understandable, a tooltip or a different icon would be very useful. I’ve shared this feedback with the team.

11. War Flag Chests Returning to Mysterious Island in July

[Hero Wars Guide] Mysterious Island 23 view
  • Q. Nexters, why have you made war flags unavailable for new players? They cannot even be purchased, what is the point? Is it a mistake or do you really want to only offer them only a few times a year? Cutting off new players from some mechanics does not look like a good design imo, so I do not understand.
  • A. Great question, and I actually have some good news on this. Starting in July War Flag Chest will be back on the map, meaning you will see a tower and will be able to get old and new flags.

12. Efforts to Improve Communication of In-Game Changes Will Continue

  • Q. to be fair since they invented mysterious islands they invented a lot of other good resource givers per month.
    and we dont want them to speed up game progression more and more and increase the game’s pace even more. so they have to somehow reduce rewards of older events slightly over time.
    its just impossible for us to keep track what we can expect from any kind of event because every month they trick us into false assumptions by reducing rewards too fast without announcement or hint, and want to keep it as it is since they denied us a relieable changelog.
  • A. I don’t think anyone would argue that game economy never changes. As new systems, resources and events are added, older content sometimes gets adjusted as well.
    Re: changelog, I for those who have not seen it, I’m going to continue linking this post https://h-w.fun/en/report-2026-week22/#rtoc-19
    And as previously noted – I know you disagree with me on this approach, but we do our best communicating changes and will keep grinding and improving

13. Concerns About Event Overload Acknowledged, No Schedule Changes Planned

  • Q. The frequency of AoCs, Cosmic Battles, and Hero/titan adventure events is getting way too high. Each of these requires a considerable time investment.
    Let’s stick to 1 of each per month (you can alternate between hero and titan editions). Let’s keep the game fun, not turn it into a chore.
  • A. I understand where you’re coming from, as these events do require time and coordination.
    For the time being, the schedule will stay roughly the same. We’re trying different gameplay-focused events and seeing how they fit into the overall game experience.
    That said, we’re paying attention to both the feedback we’re getting and how players actually engage with these events. So while I can’t promise any immediate changes to the schedule, concerns about burnout and time commitment are definitely being heard and taken into account.

14. Total Free Energy Maintained While Distribution Method Changes

[Hero Wars Guide]Lore Festival Group Gift 500 energy
  • Q. So they now gave the 500 energy for Seer’s game.
    but skipped the yesterday’s 500 energy.
    so is it the new standard now that not every event will be given 500 energy?
    🙂
  • A. Not exactly 🙂
    There was an announcement about this here – Jane Events!
    Just to explain a bit more – we’re changing how the energy rewards are distributed. They won’t be tied directly to specific events anymore, but the overall amount of free energy given out over the course of a month is planned to remain roughly the same.
    So instead of every event post containing 500 energy, you’ll see that energy spread across different posts and activities throughout the month. Sometimes it may be attached to an event, sometimes to other announcements, community activities, etc.
    TL:DR – less of a “500 energy per event” pattern, but not less energy overall.

15. Newsletter Intended to Encourage Player Engagement

  • Q. What was the point of doing this and pushing it
  • A. I’m not sure what your question is. Did you ever see our newsletter? It often comes with special gifts and info about upcoming events. Of course we want players to see it

16. Newsletter Delivery Issues Shared with the Team

  • Q. Too many players have trouble getting your mails though. Support even made me change my mail for that, but the new one also never received the mail (not a spam box problem). Not sure what is happening here.
  • A. Any issues (tech or otherwise) don’t seem to me personally a good reason for us not to do it. To be frank, I’m not a part of a team that does newsletters, but I will pass along that some players are having issues

17. Whitelist Instructions Provided for Newsletter Delivery

  • Q. it could also be your email provider. maybe you can whitelist emails from
    “hero-wars.com”
    “xsolla.com”
    “sender.hero-wars.com”
    “herowars.zendesk.com”
    … thats what i found in my in-box. anything else CM ?
  • A. Great list, just fyi the newsletter email is news@newsletter.hero-wars.com, if anyone wants to whitelist it

18. Newsletter Distribution Not Technically Possible on Facebook Version

  • Q. I thought it was a known (to developer issue). I am subscribed and don’t receive any newsletter. I will make a bug report. Not sure you want support to be floaded with such bug reports. But if I have to I will.
  • A. We’d love to do it for FB players as well, but unfortnately it’s not technically possible 🙁

19. Facebook–Web Version Merger Considered Unlikely

  • Q. Speaking of FB, can you remind developers of the desire of facebook players to be merged into web? For many years a lot of us native facebook players have suffered from the fact facebook has denied us the ability to buy anything on Hero Wars, which can seemingly only be fixed if facebook Hero Wars gets migrated to web. Please let our voices be heard 🙏
  • A. I’ve actually answered this a while back – I don’t think it’s possble

20. Reduced Event Announcements Are Separate from the Newsletter Initiative

  • Q. When the blog link was added to the game, the position was to centralize info and make it easy to keep the player base informed and that was true, now you are intentionally saying that you intend to reduce in game news and push it somewhere else, so simple question, does that make sense?
  • A. I think you’re confusing the message you highlighted. This is not about the newsletter, this is about us not always posting about regular events on socials, we have a calendar for that QA No.XXX
    I’ve explained it a bit here ⏫
  • Q. I have not seen it, nor will I ever as I won’t subscribe.
  • A. And that’s entirely your choice, I’m just still not sure what the actual issue is here 🙂

21. Newsletter Offers Extra Rewards While Main Information Channels Remain Unchanged

  • Q. I get that, I don’t get putting useful info in a new place when and existing news platform already is in place in the game, don’t it make more sense to keep all the important news coming thru the game?
  • A. Newsletter is not new, and it’s not a new place for new info. The community site is still there and will be there 🙂
    To better illustrate my point – here is last newsletter we did, it was extra coins with some info about Adam’s adventure.
    You might be missing out on extra rewards, but if you already get your news on socials/community site, you’ll still get them there
    Only with a bit less regular events, but everyone already knows about those, and we have a calendar 🙂
    So those are not related

22. Newsletter Does Not Replace Existing News Sources

  • Q. we were told all gift one place, see the chaos that creates.
    I get what your doing but can’t see a need for it.
  • A. I do and I’ve just explained it. I get your perspective, but I’m trying to explain that it’s not taking anything away from you or the regular place you get your news, it’s an addition that you can voluntarily use, and if you don’t want to, you can just skip it
    That’s about all I have to say on the topic

23. Concerns Over Fragmented Gift Distribution Acknowledged, Main Sources Remain

  • Q. Long ago gifts were scattered everywhere and it was a nightmare, thus the above added to the game, now we are heading back years to gifts in multiple places…
  • A. I see your point, but most of your gifts you will still very much get on the community website/socials

24. Feedback on New Talismans Shared with the Development Team

  • Q. i spent 40-50 runs yesterday just to find the attack only talisman.
    Totally waste of time.
    it was not that bad before they added all these low-impact (to our gaming experience) talismans, making the variations many more, reducing the % to get the talisman that we need.
  • A. I’ve noted and passed along the feedback about new talismans!

25. Request for a Permanent Pet Resource Exchange Shop Shared

  • Q. Kindly add permanent pet resource (potions and chaos particles) exchange shop, Kindly also provide war flags chests at different event shops
  • A. Noted, I’ve answered about War Flags above and will pass along the request about potions and chaos particles.

26. Request to Exchange Gifts for Threads Shared as Feedback

  • Q. As both upgrading systems are so unbalanced between them in my opinion then please consider exchange Gifts to Threads as well.
  • A. I checked out players responses around this and it seems like folks are not super excited about this suggestion 🙂
    But no bad suggestions here, I love it when you share your ideas.

27. Player Analytics Feature Requested

  • Q. Can we have a Analytics Function?
    Individual Progress over the Time we’ve played , Power Increase Per Month/Year , Currency Spent / Emeralds …. ECT
    I Like Stats
  • A. Interesting suggestion, I like stats as well. I hope we can do something like this at some point 👀
