Official Community Manager FAQ

Titles are tailored to the content.

1. New Offerwall and Rewarded Ads Being Gradually Rolled Out to Randomly Selected Players

  • Q. you changed the game without informing us, again.
    still i understand that its not a bug but supposed to be that only some accounts got the videos. i got them for 1 of 3 accounts. in the expedition map, at skill upgrades, at the new city Theater Shop and at the right side in the line of other offerings. is that all?
    ……………………..
    my main issue is:
    1 of my account now has the links there for almost 1 week and i am trying every few hours to see one of the promo vidoes but i cant.
    with so many people reporting here that videos are too long i believe me not being able to access any video is not an issue of randomness (as in-game support wants me to believe, of course) but an issue of browser privacy, security or adblock settings.

    Can you please clarify the requirements for participating in these offerings as in
    > what i must change in my browser security, privacy and ad-block settings so i can participate in these offerings?
    for obvious reasons i dont want to remove these very much needed modern browser features completely so some specific information would be very much appreciated.
    thank you very much
  • A. I can give you a bit more context here.

    There are actually two separate situations.
    The first one is intentional: the new offerwall and rewarded ads feature is currently being rolled out to a randomly selected group of players. If you don’t have the button at all, there’s unfortunately nothing you can do to enable it yourself at the moment, you’ll just have to wait a bit.

    The second issue is for players like yourself who do have the feature but see “There is no ads”. That’s not expected behaviour, and the team is currently investigating it. At the moment I don’t have any additional troubleshooting steps to share beyond what’s already been communicated.
    As soon as I have more information, I’ll let everyone know.

2. Feedback on Excessively Long Rewarded Ads Shared with the Development Team

  • Q. is this watching 10-20 minutes video really worth it?
    Nexters?
    What is worse is that it cannot be changed, if you close and select watch again, it will go back to the same video.

    Edit: some videos in the ads are even 30 minutes … i don’t know what to say…. worth reconsidering…. the ads you want us to watch must not be > 1 min for the reward you are giving…………. i sure there is way to limit that from your side
  • A. Thank you for sharing this, I’ve noticed this feedback from players and passed it along, especially regarding very long ads and the inability to switch to a different one if you accidentally close it.
    I agree that rewarded ads should feel proportional to the reward you’re receiving.

3. Turtle Artifact Availability for Non-Owners Under Further Investigation

  • Q. Not that I really care much but why does expedition give turtle artifact?
    Like anyone playing 16 months or less can use them🤷‍♂️
  • A. I think you don’t get them if you don’t have turtles, and in general you get quite a bit of artifacts that you might not need already and just sell those to the merchant.
  • Q. But you can get artis from heros you don’t have yet. Is this case codet in a way that player without Turtels can’t get them? do you know?
  • A. I’m not 💯 sure to be honest. I can check later
  • Q. Thanks 😸
  • A. Asked some team members and they seem to agree, seems to be setup where if you don’t have the turtles, you don’t get their artifacts.
  • Q. I still got them and seems it was the second time.
  • A. Do you have turtles on your account?
  • Q. Nope
  • A. Hm, maybe I need to double check. Can you give me your ID?
    Maybe I’m wrong and you can in fact get them
    Alrighty, I’ll check tomorrow!

4. No Compensation Planned for Cancelled Offers, but Their Return Is Being Considered

  • Q. Just send people good compensation😉 🥃
  • A. At the moment, there are no plans for compensation. The offer had to be cancelled due to technical reasons before it went live. I completely understand how frustrating it is not to get something you have been expecting, and the team is working on potentially bringing the offer back, but no news at the moment, we will announce if it will happen.

5. Support Team Recommended for Disappearing Titan AoC Banner Issues

  • Q. We took first place in the Titan AOC last month, but we didn’t equip the new Titan AOC banner; a few days later, it disappeared, leaving only the old first-place Titan AOC banner available to equip.
    Is this a bug?
  • A. Hello hello, you should check cases like this with our support team. They can see all the details, your inventory and such.

6. Smaller ToP Groups and Restored Emerald Rewards Not Currently Planned

  • Q. More important things to change for ToP are:
    1) make groups smaller again (max 15 players in one group)
    2) bring back emeraldes rewards <:emerald:510386090369220629> !!
    Cause as we can easly see – removing them as a main rewards didn’t helped the game so no need to continue this bad direction.
  • A. Thank you for the suggestion, at the moment there are no plans to implement those changes to ToP, but I’ll keep highlighting your feedback regarding ToP changes.

7. Feedback on Tournament Adjustments for Max-Power Players Forwarded to the Development Team

  • Q. Dear Hero Wars Support / Development Team,

    First of all, thank you for continuously developing and supporting Hero Wars. I really enjoy the game and appreciate the effort put into it.

    I am writing to bring your attention to a balancing issue regarding players who have reached maximum power in tournaments.

    Currently, max-power players are placed in competition directly against lower-power players. While lower-power players have room to upgrade their heroes/titans and gain substantial tournament points by increasing their power, max-power players no longer have this option. As a result, fully maxed-out players have virtually no chance to compete for top positions or obtain the necessary rewards, despite having put significant time and resources into reaching the endgame.

    This creates a disadvantage for long-time dedicated players and severely reduces the motivation to stay active.

    Could you please consider revising the tournament matchmaking or scoring mechanics for endgame players? For example:
    – Grouping players by total power brackets.
    – Introducing alternative scoring methods for fully maxed accounts.

    Thank you for your time and for considering this feedback. I hope to see adjustments that keep the competition fair and rewarding for all player levels.

    Best regards,
  • A. Hello and thanks for taking the time to write this out.
    I’ve seen this request before and I think it’s a fair concern, one we have not been able to tackle at this point.
    I will pass along the feedback to the team, but just to set expectations, I’m not aware of any changes planned at the moment.

8. Direct Spam and Scam Reporting Added to the Quality-of-Life Wishlist

  • Q. We need a direct report for the spam/scam button
  • A. I personally agree, and I’ll add it to our QoL wishlist. For now, please do report those via in-game support with screenshots.

9. Anti-Cheat Investigations Continue, but Specific Measures Remain Confidential

  • Q. Can you answer once and for all what’s happening with cheaters in game?
    What are developers doing to combat cheats?
    I’m not seeing any results! Cheaters have been using scripts for years… Check out weekly Asgard results…you’re smart enough to figure out that some guilds results are scripted!

    Why emeralds haven’t been removed from rewards in Asgard/ToE?
    Why manual attacks haven’t removed to prevent scripted battle results from being automatically selected?
    Why devs aren’t doing anything to protect fair play?!
  • A. I’ve answered similar questions quite a few times over the past months, and my answer hasn’t really changed.
    Fair competition is extremely important, and concerns around automation and scripting are something I continue to raise internally. Reports are investigated, and feedback around how these issues affect competitive modes is shared with the team.
    Unfortunately, I can’t share details about anti-cheat systems or investigations, because that would defeat their purpose. What I can say is that this topic isn’t ignored.

10. Traditional Patch Notes Are Still Not Planned at This Time

  • Q. Hey CM, https://community.hero-wars.com/post/99
    You guys CAN post patch notes. What’s so different now that’s preventing you from posting patch notes if I may ask? Even Ubisoft posts patch notes. Because we would like patch notes. Even if it’s once a month or once every few months; it’s *something*. But not giving *any* patch notes when the playerbase requests it does not show good communication, in fact, it shows the opposite. It just shows that you guys, the devs particularly, just want to hide it from us.
  • A. I’ve said this a number of times already, but I’ll say it again.
    We’re not going to revisit the patch notes discussion every few weeks. I’ve explained the team’s position a few times now, and it hasn’t changed. At the moment, a traditional changelog isn’t something we’re planning to introduce.
    If that ever changes in the future, we’ll let everyone know.

Official Community Manager FAQ – Server Marge

Titles are tailored to the content.

1. Ideas for Server Merges and “Guild Vacation Orbs”

  • Q. Every 25 or 50 Servers should Merge, then again that may be tooooooo many folks maybe every 10 or 20 hmmmm

    Updates this week were reported ….. waiting by my Electrical Outlet for my Email ⚡ 📧
    CM What About Guild Vacation Orbs ….. Visit a New Server for a Week / Month …… Eat all the Food in their Fridges and then Sent back to Original
  • A. That would be kinda fun, not sure how doable from tech side 😄

2. Large-Scale Server Merges Planned, with Account Selection, Emerald Reimbursement, and Free Transfers

  • Q. So, server merges are schedule for this month. I’d rather that didn’t happen.

    CM – How about more EARLY hints of how many severs you want to merge and how new a server might be dumped onto how old a server where it can’t possible be competative.

    Will there be people who could never get Lara Croft playing Arena against people who have her maxed?

    Also:
    Are they going to just keep creating two new servers every two weeks?
    Update: As mentioned below, I just notice that on Alliance they merges ELEVEN servers into Server 1? Did they not think Server 1 was busy enough?

    And server 1023 on Alliance being merged into server 5? Why not just say: “Hey… you can’t play competatively anymore. If you wanted to, go away.” I’m guess 1023 on Alliance might be more like the equivalent of Server 250 or 350 on HWDE, but I assume it’s pretty much “game over” for those players. 🤯 ☠️ (That and five other servers include #13 and 935?!?)

    Should we worry they might do that of sort of thing here?
    MASSIVE merges of MANY servers?

    Why not just make a feature to allow a Guildmaster to move the entire Guild to a new server of their choice?
    If the Guild wants to move…

    You know, rather than letting the people who decided how the matchmaking for AoC should be done to decide which servers go with which.

    Update: The following was originally at the top of the post, but I don’t think it’s more important than the above for most people so I moved it down here?
    I’m playing on 4 servers on the same email-account. I’m not the only person playing multiples.

    What happens if they decide to merge two or more of those servers into the same destination server?
    Are they just going delete one of my server-accounts because you can only have one per server?
    Or force it onto a different server, effectively kicking me out of my Guild? (Which in the worst case, could be leaving a guild where I’m Guildmaster.)
    If I wanted to be funny, I’d ask if they’d refund the money someone spent on such an account, but that’s obviously a very very silly question.
  • A. Hello hello, let me try and give you some details about the merge that I can.
    From our previous merge we had a set of rules, they should stay about the same, but you’ll get a bit more details this week, including the number of servers merging, the date and all of that good stuff. Hopefully tomorrow.

    Now to the details I can share:
    * If you have progress on multiple servers that are merged together, you won’t lose everything automatically. When you first log in after the merge, you’ll be asked which account you want to keep on the merged server. The other one will be removed, but any Emeralds purchased on that account will be reimbursed to the account you keep.
    * If you don’t want to choose between merged accounts, you’ll also have the option to move one of them to another, older server free of charge before the merge takes place.
    * As for guilds, they aren’t disbanded by the merge itself. However, if you choose to transfer your character to a different server instead of staying on the merged one, you’ll naturally leave your current guild.
    * Regarding the size of the merges: like I said above, you’ll get that info soon, but I can tell you that it will be quite a big merger.

3. Server Transfer Restrictions May Be Reconsidered Alongside Large-Scale Merges

  • Q. I understand the motivation behind server merges, and I suppose quite a few players may be quite happy to be on a server that is alive, without having to spend their only freebie move on that.

    I however noticed that on HW:A, there have been some quite new servers merged with the oldest servers, further aggravating the effects of new players being matched against long established players, resulting in impossible difficulty in game modes like Arena, Guild War etc., facing enemies they can’t catch up without spending big.

    Moreover, I know that a player cannot move to a server that is newer than the one they started on. On relatively new servers, this protects the players from “f2p whales” moving from much older servers, which makes some sense. However, considering that the most interesting servers on FB are servers 2 and 5, which might be approximately 10 years old by now, I would feel rather cheated if I started on server 1 and I couldn’t move to server 2 or 5.

    Considering that on HW:A, you moved server numbers 700+ to server 2, does the limitation on moving make any sense? Should I want to move e.g. to server 74, which is several months younger than mine, what is the reason to stop me from “moving up”, considering that in the merges, you are creating much worse mismatch?
  • A. Server transfers are primarily about protecting the progression of newer servers. Server merges are about maintaining healthy populations on older ones.
    That doesn’t mean there aren’t trade-offs, and I understand why you’re questioning whether the current restrictions still make sense alongside large-scale mergers. I’ll pass that perspective on.

4. Further Details on Server Merge Plans to Be Shared Soon

  • Q. Ok guys – as we have another Wednesday… We need an update for server merges plan.
  • A. Answered about the merge here – QA No.XX
    I can’t give you all the info, but I hope some helps and we can share more details soon.

5. Multiple Accounts Merged to the Same Server Can Be Managed by Choosing Which Account to Keep

  • Q. Okay, that´s not so bad, but what happens if you have 3 Accounts with the same E-Mail Add and they where merged onto the same Server ?
    Like me, sorry, forgott to wrote this 🙂
  • A. The answer is already there – you will be given a choice which account you’d like to keep, and also an option to move it to another server

6. Artifact Chest Key Transfer Rules During Server Merges to Be Confirmed in the Merge FAQ

  • Q. Hello CM, Is there an extensive FAQ about the server merge, other than this one https://community.hero-wars.com/post/4767
    I can’t find an answer to my question: I switched server a couple of years ago, and to be able to do that, I had to open all my artifact chests first. Will it be the same for this merge, or as it is not a real “switch server” thing, we can save our artifact chest and there will be tranfered too ?
  • A. Hello, I’m gathering all your questions and will try to answer them asap, including artifact keys
    Folks, I see all your questions, I will be gathering them and on Monday we’ll do a merge FAQ with all the questions.

7. Players Missing Server Merge Notifications Are Advised to Contact Support

  • Q. I didn’t receive a ticket. Server 372 is affected—who should I contact?
    You guys really do stuff like that during vacation season, when half the staff is away. That’s quite the theater.
  • A. Just checked, server 372 got the letters. Maybe contact our support if you didn’t, they can check it for you
    Half the staff is not away in our case 🙂

8. Server Merge FAQ Scheduled for Monday Before the Merge, with Additional Player Questions to Be Addressed

  • Q. Yeah. But since StarBoard sessions are weekly, and the whole merge ordeal is coming in 9 days, I guess we won’t have much time to make any choices (or worse, ask some questions to further specify). If Nexters sometimes showed they care, maybe I’d still be spending my money.
  • A. I will be doing an FAQ on the merge on Monday
    I’ve gathered your questions and will do my best to answer
    And see if we get more over the weekend
  • Q. Usually you don’t do this after the change but before so everybody knows what will be going on. Just my 2 cents.
  • A. Monday is before the change 🙂
    And we posted quite a lot of information already, most important points are covered. I’m just gathering additional questions and such, to make sure everyone understands the details
  • Q. When players and guilds want to switch this weekend so as not to miss asgard next week and not get time crunched trying to switch on the 15th. Monday is late and when implementing this merge they should have had more information readily available.
    Some of these answers could change players decisions.
  • A. Like I said above – we did post the most important info, and I will try to get all the additional questions on Monday. I get that you want more info as soon as possible, absolutely understandable. I’ll do my best providing it on Monday

9. No Guild Lock Is Expected Before the Server Merge, Pending Final Confirmation

  • Q. The guilds will close before the mergers ??
  • A. I don’t think there will be a lock, but I will confirm on Monday

10. Original Server Remains a Factor in Determining Server Transfer Eligibility

  • Q. I was born on Server 93 and am currently playing on Server 59.
    As part of this large-scale merger, I’m scheduled to move to Server 26.
    I’m not very good at English, so I didn’t quite understand, but does that mean I can move to Server 91? (Since Server 93 is being shut down, Server 91 would be the closest remaining server to the one where I was born.)
    Or does that mean Server 59 will become my home server?😲
  • A. It means your original server will be still taken into account

11. Artifact Keys Will Be Preserved During Server Merges

  • Q. will we lose our current artifact keys during server merge the same way we lose them with server transfer?
  • A. Hello hello, you will not lose your keys 🙂

12. Inventory Items Are Expected to Transfer Safely During Server Merges

  • Q. And all inventory, as far as you know, is supposed to get transferred, right? Is there anything we should be aware of
  • A. Yes, your inventory should be okay

13. Empty Servers Are Expected to Be Closed After Merges, Pending Final Confirmation

  • Q. Thank you for todays FAQ, i think it covers everything needed what wasnt in original merge announcement article apart for one thing – what will happen with servers that are being “emptied”?
  • A. Thank you! I went though all your questions from last week and over the weekend and worked with the team to try and cover most of your concerns. I hope it helps!

    What do you mean by “what will happen” exactly?
  • Q. will they be removed/closed? or can players return there/create new accounts?
  • A. Okay, I see what you mean. I want to say – they will be removed, but don’t take it as a full on confirmation just yet, I will check with the team
  • Q. like “can you move back into an empty server”?
  • A. My assumption is that they will be closed, as we don’t have a use for them any longer, but I can check if you clarify

14. Deleted Accounts Are Refunded Based on Purchase History, with Guild War Rewards Set for Four Weeks

  • Q. “If you have characters on several servers that are being merged together, you will receive a notification when you enter the game after the server merge. You will be able to choose which character/progress you want to keep on the merged server.”

    1.) How does the game decide if another account belongs to me? Since I had to use a different email address. Can I somehow notify Nexters that the given account is mine?

    2.) When a character is deleted, will the heroes, titans and totems also be converted to emeralds?

    3.) I suggest that the deleted account’s Gold, Energy, Emeralds, Inventory-Coins, Patterns and Totem Summoning Spheres be transferred to the retained account. Don’t convert them to emeralds!

    “Your progress in Guild War will be reset. You will receive rewards for 4 weeks based on your last Guild War result before the server merge.”

    4.) If a guild decides to move to another server before the merge, their score will be reset to zero before the migration. This means that they will not receive any rewards in GW for 4 weeks after the migration, regardless of their score. Is it possible for players to receive rewards they earned 2 weeks before the migration?
  • A. Hello hello, let me try to clear some of these up

    1. it’s based on your registration/email/etc. If you click on your avatar in game, and then “change server” you’ll see all your characters on all servers. You can check there which ones will be affected.

    2. No, it’s based on your payments. You will be refunded in emeralds for all your purchases.

    3. That is not possible

    4. No, it’s 4 weeks

15. Account Preservation for Inactive Players After Server Merges to Be Clarified with the Development Team

  • Q. one last thing from me …
    If accounts from 2 servers would be moved on the same one … and lets say that player is away for two weeks now … will he be able to “save” both of those accounts even after the merge?
    The moment he has to choose which account to keep on new server those accounts were merged too, can he still move the second one else where or will it be too late?
  • A. I think it’s best to do it in advance and not assume you’ll have time after the merge tbh
  • Q. They mean for instance, if a friend is away on holidays.. will they come back to a surprise of a bunch of the characters being deleted.
  • A. Yeah I didn’t think about that from that perspective. That’s a good question and I’ll clarify that with the team

16. Approximate Emerald Reimbursement for Deleted Accounts to Be Investigated

  • Q. Hi CM, thanks for answering. I think that is important for some players to move or not to move. If (2) of my accounts are moving to the same server I lose 1 account with VIP12, and only get 1K or 5K or 10K or even 20K or even 100K in emeralds, it might be worthwhile just to move him. Is there a general ball park you can find out how much we will get? I know you said the calculations are complex, but I think it will help me and other players get a better idea so we can make a important decision.
  • A. Unfortunately, I can’t give you an exact rate there, I’m sorry 🙁 I’ll ask about ballpark and see if we can give you a better idea
  • Q. Ok thanks CM. I made an assumption based on the lowest tier value of 440 emeralds = 100 VIP pts = 4.4 emeralds/VIP pt. But please find out what you can.
  • A. Will do!
