[Hero Wars Guide] September Events
  • 🍂 September is shaping up to be a busy month in Dominion!
  • A new Hero is on the way, Astrid is getting her own special Adventure and Ascension, and plenty of familiar events and other surprises are waiting throughout the month.
  • ⚔️ There’s a new Season Pass coming too! Distortion Season is a great chance to give Alecto and Valdur & Echo some extra attention, with their Soul Stones and Artifact resources waiting among the rewards. Didn’t quite finish upgrading the first Distortion Titans during their Adventures? Here’s your chance to keep going!
  • ⚠️ One important detail about the Season rewards: the final reward is the familiar Totem Summoning Sphere. The new Distortion Totem isn’t hiding in there just yet. 👀
  • And if you are waiting for the first Ascension Season with Ascension Skills for Astrid & Lucas – mark September 3rd in your calendars!
  • If you ever need a reminder of what’s coming next, this calendar will always be here for you.

Official Message: September Is Going to Be BIG!

  • Hey Guardians! We recently released a new Titan “family”: Distortion! We know that many of you are already testing it and enjoying the new possibilities, but we also know that this addition has brought some old questions back to the surface: Where are the new Pets? What about Ascension for older Heroes?
  • Today we wanted to talk a little bit about that, because we have an INCREDIBLY busy month ahead of us. Get ready for what’s coming in September! We’ll touch on every feature in more detail later, but for now, we just want to give you a heads-up on what to expect this fall.
  • Starting with a new Season Pass right at the beginning of the month. This one is quite simple: a familiar Season Pass, but with a different focus. This time, it will be dedicated to Distortion Titans. Haven’t been able to max out Alecto and Valdur or their Artifacts during their Adventures? Look no further, you’ll find them here.
  • Now, Ascension! On September 3, one of our older Heroes will get a couple of fun Ascension Skills. She has royal blood and some feral instincts. Can you guess who it will be? And with that, we’ll introduce a new Season Pass-like system and a new Ascension resource specifically used to unlock new Ascension Skills. This system will give us an opportunity to add Ascension Skills to our veteran Heroes much more consistently, hopefully bringing new abilities to one Hero each month.
  • Prestige system update. Okay, we’re already cheating a little and sneaking some October news into our September preview. The September Prestige season will run as usual, followed by a short 3 week break. Then, in October, Prestige will return with expanded progression and new ways to get more out of the system. And if you’re perfectly happy with Prestige as it is, don’t worry: you’ll still be able to play consistently and pick up rewards along the way.
  • New Pet? New Pet! And since we’ve already started stealing news from October, we might as well keep going. Our mysterious newcomer will be unlocked through the new and updated Autumn Festival starting on October 1. That’s sooo close that we simply couldn’t resist unveiling it a little earlier. What do you think it will do? What will its name be? Gender? Something else entirely? ENGAGE WITH US. Oh, and we don’t plan to stop with this mysterious Pet. There might be another one on the horizon…
  • Also, the Autumn Festival itself will be way bigger this time around and will be very reminiscent of the Summer Festival: generators with precious resources, a dedicated map, more quests, a huge Shop, and all that. You know the drill.
  • And a New Hero, of course. What, you thought a new Pet in October meant we’d skip introducing a new Hero or Titan in September? Think again. A new Hero is coming, and they will have something to say to Adam. Curious?
  • P.S. Like, literally something to say. We’re talking lore here, not a counter to Adam, who just appeared in the game. Come on, guys, we’re not psychos.

Official Community Manager FAQ

Titles are tailored to the content.

1. New Content Release Pace and Improvements to Core Gameplay

Question
  • does the new season pass mean that in order to get a distortion summoning sphere, i must also buy all the season bundled things, which are going to be useless to me if i bought them already during the event? why cant we purchase just the things we need without a bundle?
  • didnt we already tell you that 1 new hero / titan event each month was more than enough? now 2 such new events are going to be the new standard? really?
  • ascension: is it really necessary to invent new resources every month? which are of course scarce and exclusive for months? feels like being your cow not your customer.
    is this supposed to make me a happy customer?
    what about the problems that make the good core of the game hard to play?
  • battle logs are not containing all info needed for reproduction (1 totem only, titan skills not available, CoW buffs or talisman buffs are missing, flags and patterns are missing)
  • CTs are not reliable / not usable against actual opponent strength and have a memory leak / there is no way to get an overview what worked best after some thousands of tests with different pets / all the guild spams each other
  • the game chat is last millenial technique and misses channels, translation, pics, stickies, a longer history,
  • guild management: we still cant deny random players joining our guild
  • no endgame content: CoW is a gamble.
  • too many clicks: half of the week my forearm hurts
    we dont want to pay more and more money every month for more and more gambling for useless resources. instead

we want to find, share and exchange on optimal team-pet-fusion-skill-flag-pattern combinations for every battle.
thats the core of the game. that’s why we play it. but all the above hinders us.
how many of us must leave the game before you will you start caring?

Answer

Hello, let me try and answer those one by one.

  • **Release schedule: **No, two new Hero/Titan releases per month are not intended to become the new standard. Normally, we are still aiming for one major Hero or Titan release per month. This case is an exception because releasing these Titans individually would not work well with the Totem activation requirements. Similar exceptions may happen in the future, but they should remain exceptions.
  • **Ascension: **New Ascension resources are necessary if we want to add new Ascension skills regularly, but the concern about introducing too many scarce resources is fair. We do not expect every player to purchase and maximize every new system immediately. These releases are meant to offer different progression priorities, not to make every purchase mandatory. At the same time, we understand that limited availability can make an optional upgrade feel compulsory, especially for competitive players. That is the part of the feedback we need to keep reviewing: not only whether a resource becomes available later, but how much pressure its initial scarcity creates.
  • **Battle logs: **This is useful and specific feedback. We’ll raise the missing Totem, skill, buff, flag, and pattern information with the team and check which of these can be added to the logs.
  • **Game chat: **Fair point. We already have plans to address some of these limitations, and we’ll make sure the specific requests about channels, translation, pinned messages, images, and longer history are included in the feedback.
  • Guild management: This sounds like a reasonable guild-management option. I don’t know whether there are technical or design constraints behind its current behaviour, so I’ll check with the team rather than speculate.
  • Endgame content: We agree that the endgame needs more depth, but I want to be transparent: a substantial CoW or endgame rework is not planned for this year. It remains in our backlog, but I can’t give you a reliable timeframe yet.
  • Too many clicks: We’ve already reduced some repetitive actions through full Raids in Tournament of Elements, free Tower Raids, and quicker Expedition management, but clearly there are still painful areas. Which two or three daily activities cause the most unnecessary clicking for you now? That would help us understand what should be tackled next.

And when it comes to stars not working in news and starboard, I’ve turned that off so that my own posts and replies (or news) don’t make it here. But if you feel like it’s not working for you, we can change it and test it out
Oh and I almost forgot the first question – new season BP will not have the new distortion totem, it will have the old totem sphere. But it will have some new titan resources. We’ll communicate around this a bit more

2. Official Stance on 2026 Progression Pace and Community Criticisms

  • Q. 2026 is the worst year of Hero Wars in history? – Worst nerf on summer fest – Removal of F2P achievable ems: ToP, free piggy bank, etc – Introduction of more RNG Casino Features and Events – Worst ever pace of new hero/titan every month – No collaborative hero event and developer kept quiet about it – Worst ever authoritarianism and thin-nerves of CM + Moderators here leading to dead discord – Peak of greediness from developers to make money: unwanted fusion level 6, new currency for new ascension, new gears for distortion titans, all for money $$$ without considering how much players hate these greedy stuffs. – Messy server merge – Huge loss of players base: just see how many of the people in your guild/server have quitted? – etc etcthe list is so long and it’s still ongoing………….
    so many people have said these but they are deaftone…. business which are deaftone will never listen to customers….
    the only good thing this year was the 10th year anniversary (have to give them credit). God knows they might be trying to fix Summerfest into Autumnfest (pretty sure that’s how autumn fest became bigger, we are not stupid) but most likely they won’t be that generous, it will be just average reward….
  • A. I can see why, when you put all of these things into one list, you come away feeling very negative about the year. I don’t agree with every conclusion, though, and I also don’t want to reply with “we hear you” if our actual direction is different. We aren’t currently planning a major slowdown in Heroes, Titans or new progression systems. Some months will be quieter, some busier. We’re also not planning to bring back every Emerald source that has been changed or removed. The expectation isn’t that everyone should immediately build everything that comes out. Prioritising is increasingly part of progression. I understand that this sounds very different depending on whether you’re a casual player or someone trying to stay competitive at the top, where skipping something can feel like much less of a real choice. Where I do think the feedback is important is the combination of all of this: more progression, more RNG in some systems, FOMO, economy changes and technical problems happening close together. Even if each decision has its own reasoning, players experience the cumulative effect. So yes, I understand why you’re frustrated. I just don’t think “worst year ever” is a particularly useful conclusion by itself. I’d rather keep talking about which specific parts aren’t working and what we can realistically improve.

3. Correction and Compensation for Energy Crystal Announcement Misprint

  • Q. Ähm, really? Next bug incoming or just a “nerf” that was forgotten to mention in the announcement? Only 12 Energy-Crystals instead of 16 as announced?!Source of the announcement (upper part of the screenshot): Post 4813
    Reality: Bottom part of the screenshot.
  • A. Hello 👋 This is not a nerf, the amount was incorrect. We have fixed it by adding more crystals to todays post.

4. Upcoming FAQ for Ascension Changes and Community Conduct Guidelines

[Hero Wars Guide] Ascension Season
  • Q. They’re still introducing this madness…they’re selling Ascension twice…same product… Asgard is foundation of Ascension, and Star Mana is foundation for leveling up Ascension skills!!! Players bought Asgard pass and hoarded these resources! Nexters, you’re scammers!What will happen to the star mana?!
    Will Asgard pass be refunded?!
    When will you choke on your greed?!
  • A. Two things I want to say here. On the initial topic – we are considering releasing a more detailed FAQ to answer your questions about new ascension changes, I hope it will cover some of it. And on your wording, this is not the first time I’ve personally warned you, please do consider this your final warning. Same thing I tell all players – there is a line with criticising and being frustrated, that is completely fine. But insults, toxicity and being rude is not. Please do not cross the line. You can get your points across in a different way.

5. Slowing Down Server Merges to Prioritize Risk Management and Safety

  • Q. CM,Please tell them to STOP TRYING to speed it up. They should SLOW DOWN and be careful, rather than trying to speed it up. Update: Note that I originally posted this before they thankfully slowed down.
    My thanks to the entire team for doing the right thing in the respect, eventually, even if they couldn’t see it coming before hand. They should be careful to not mess things up rather than act suprised when it does. There are far worse things than delays that could happen here. If you consider that Nexters can’t deal with proper rollback on errors, or avoid repeating errors, THEY SHOULD AT TRY TO ACT CAREFULLY. There are fiascos that could happen that could do major major damage.
    Just because nothing crashed yet, doesn’t mean there isn’t an data corruption that might manifest in an unacceptable bug later.
    If there is, they’ll need a rollback.
    And even if they could do a rollback, what happens to all the cash purchases in the rollback? And the “unfair advantages.”
    And the players that just quit in the process if that happens :grey_question: (And Nexters profit margins when players quit.)
  • A. Yes, that is what we’re going to do. Our initial schedule was too ambitious: the assumptions based on previous merges and test-environment results did not hold under production conditions.
    We will slow the rollout down and leave more time between merges to minimize technical risks. We’ll share an updated calendar later. Completing all planned server merges will likely take a couple of months, but a controlled and sustainable pace is the safer option for players.

6. Compensation Policies and Schedule Updates for Server Merge Issues

  • Q. CM : ok as we have Wednesday please send us an update for the merges proccess – last week you managed to merge only 5 new huge servers + gives those players compensation for one week dissadvantage on tuffer new crowded arena ranks to gain. So the question is: are all of rest servers are going to be merged over this weekend and if not – are merged players will get another compensation for ranks as they faced huge dissadvantage comparing them to not merged players – it’s like few thousands of players are going to get worse rewards from arena than they will get if none servers would be touched… What’s developers plan for now?
  • A. Hello, I’ve answered about the merges here – FAQ No.5
    We’ll post a schedule soon. And compensation will depend on downtime, I’ll check on that
  • Q. CM any update about compensation for next week for arena daily rank drop caued by being merged already to new huge servers once 95% of rest players stays in old easier conditions once got not merged?
  • A. No compensation planned for this
  • Q. CM Please note, that guilds that went through the server merger lost access to the mode CoW , although it was promised that this would not happen.
  • A. Hi! This is indeed an error on our side. Unfortunately, we cannot safely correct it in the middle of the current war, but we are the team resolved it and it should be working when the next war begins. We tested this scenario before the merge, but the issue was not detected in the test environment. We’re sorry for the disruption
  • Q. CM stated on August 23rd that there would be a follow-up announcement “next week,” so that means the announcement is coming tomorrow, right?
    I certainly hope there isn’t some cruel joke where the announcement comes tomorrow and work resumes the day after.
    If you can’t specify exactly when the announcement will be made, please at least guarantee that server integration work will not begin for five days following the official announcement.
    Please relieve us of the stress of not knowing when we might suddenly lose access to the game.
    This is an SOS from “Server 379″—the server most likely to lose access first when work resumes.
  • A. I completely understand where you’re coming from, we’re just trying to make sure everything is in order and working correctly, testing and double testing. We will post the schedule as soon as it finalised.

7. Reviewing Proposal for a Player-to-Player Server Marketplace

  • Q. Hi! I have a feature idea for Hero Wars that could add a completely new layer of interaction between players:Server Player Marketplace A marketplace where players on the same server can trade certain resources with each other using Emeralds. The goal is to let players exchange resources they don’t need for resources they do need, while creating a small player-driven economy within each server. 🛒 1. Normal Market
    Players can list items for sale: Item → Quantity → Price → List
    Other players can search for items, compare prices, and purchase them. 🤝 2. Professional Trade — 1-to-1 Trading
    This would be different from the normal marketplace. Players can first agree on a trade through chat/Discord, then use the marketplace to safely complete the deal. For example:
    Player A offers 100 Artifact Materials
    Player B offers 50 Energy Potions They select each other and confirm the trade. The system handles the exchange, so neither player has to trust the other to send their part afterward. 🔨 3. Auction
    Players can put certain items up for auction with: Starting/minimum price
    Auction duration
    Player bidding When the auction ends, the highest bidder receives the item. If nobody bids, the auction fails and the item returns to the seller. 📊 Price Reference
    Each item shows: -Standard Price
    -7-Day Average Transaction Price This would help players understand the current market without forcing them to follow a fixed price. 🔒 Restrictions
    -Requires Level 130 💰 5% Transaction Fee
    A 5% Emerald fee could be charged on completed transactions. 🌍 Why I think this could be interesting
    This would create something Hero Wars currently doesn’t really have: Player ↔ Player economy The system doesn’t have to be completely unrestricted. The tradable items, limits and economy controls could all be adjusted by the developers.
  • A. Very interesting suggestion that seems to have sparked quite a debate, so much that we have 2 threads discussing it (please try to avoid doing that in the future ;)) I will bring it up to the team, see what they think

8. Internal Sharing of Player Departure and Account Quitting Feedback

Hi everybody,
Some already know, but for those who don’t know, i retired the game.
I really don’t like the game anymore with all the new content and casino like gamemodes.
All the bugs and cheaters that Nexters is telling us for sooooo many years they take serious but don’t do anything about.
I had a great time with the game and the people i played with, will mis many players i have played with for the last 6 years.
I Always said everybody needs to do what everybody needs to do, and now i need to do what i need to do, and that is quit the game you don’t like anymore.
Again, i had a great time but now it has to end.
For those still playing, i hope you still have fun with the game and i hope for all of you that Nexters will make the game great again.
But i doubt it.
Many thanx for Friends for all the help in this game for all those years.

Greatings to all….signing off…..

  • Q. I want CM to see this, this is the effect of everything Nexters is doing poorly lately, not looking out for their customers and creating a worse gaming experience. This person was a maxed whale, he’s gone now, he’s going to spend his money on another game that values it’s customers. More will follow. READ THE REASONS FOR QUITTING.
  • A. Yes, I can confirm I’ve seen this, when you posted it in chat and here, and I will share this with the team.
