How to SAVE Raid: Shadow Legends

[@leedunning1825]

Okay, I'm one of the folks who has been playing less than a year. For me, the initial hump of getting involved and learning the ropes made me feel so-so about the system initially. The learning curve after the introduction ramps up and left me confused on what to do and how to proceed. It was at that point I did a search on KZbin and discovered Ash, HH, YST, and of course Nub. This helped me immensely and improved my enjoyment of the game to the point where I'm pretty obsessed with it. Until I started watching the KZbin videos, I was clueless about the importance of certain items like masteries. I couldn't complete a fusion to save my soul. I couldn't make any progress on Clan Boss as I didn't understand the importance of buffs/debuffs/gear. Now I'm able to analyze a new champion's kit, and perhaps not make an optimal build, but create a good entry-level build. I understand the link between attack, crit rate, and crit damage. I get how accuracy and resist relate. And much more, of course. Now, Raid is my first "Gotcha Game", so that probably left me at a disadvantage in understanding how the game works. Other people coming from other games might not have as much trouble jumping in and getting up to speed. But for a completely new player, perhaps more hand holding to help folks get past the frustration of not understanding how best to approach content and build champions would help with retention. Perhaps, Plarium could even direct new players to existing KZbin videos by the many CC's. If I hadn't found you guys, I would have quit the game within the first two months, and in that time, not even bothered to log in every day. As for some of the more recent games, I tried Watcher of Realms, and decided the tower defense sort of play was not my cup of tea. DragonHeir looks lovely and seems to have quite a lot going for it, a lot of variety of play, so I may give it a go. But since my enthusiasm for Raid has yet to fade, I'm not anxious to dive into anything new with any serious intent.

[@donaldlamonica5675]

I spent too much time and money on raid to give up… in 2020 it helped me get through many boring days. I still walk away from it for a month here and there

[@powergamerx425]

Thisd is one of the psychological techniques Plarium use - It's called Sunk-cost fallacy. This is the reason why Plarium try so hard to get you to part with even a little money.

[@aronlines3448]

Money easily made and spent … dont feel like your tied to your account 🙂

[@zaccochran4025]

Anytime I hear about the puppy it just makes me so sad, I can’t imagine how rough it must be, way to keep your head up

[@Peter75C]

I'm on the Watcher of Realms train, and it's very fun. I have some good champions, nothing too OP yet, but there is a ton of use for even champions at 3 or 4 stars, vs RAID where you HAVE to run folks at 6* for real end game content. I feel like the real issue is that Plarium is so STINGY. Yeah, we got Wu Kong, we had Artak... great champions. But they absolutely not give you books, chickens...farming Masteries is a chore (yeah, I know you can buy them for 800 gems, but farming). Events are a net negative - going for a fusion RECENTLY (like the last 6 months or so) absolutely RINSES your account. These newer games might be messing up, but they at messing up in favor of giving TOO much, not making you farm 4700 points of Dungeon Divers for a RARE champion.

[@Doomtowndandy]

I would like more content like doom tower with secret rooms to use all the champs i summon.

[@tannercoon1095]

I think the Tavern could do with an overhaul. Many gacha games have an auto-level system for food and ways to mark certain champs as food. I think the antiquated layout of the Tavern isn't the best and could be touched up. Won't save the game but does it suck having to feed mystery shards 6 at a time when you need to!!

[@Peter75C]

Amen. And the Shop. I'm playing WoR amd my shop is giving Legendary skill tomes *the equivalnrt) and chickens... it costs gems and its rare, but they are there .

[@silviuskirsch1]

Yes opening 1000 green shards and having to click on every champion 1 by 1 to feed them is a pain.

[@an_avidpanda_lover8349]

Market 100% needs a rework as well. Things for sale should be scaled off of player level, so level 60+ players aren’t still getting the same garbage from level 18. Token Exchange needs a rework as well. That feature has pretty much been completely forgotten by the devs, and with Mythical champs being added, they could definitely make some of them obtainable through the Token Exchange.

[@tmriskl739]

I am a long-time player Started playing my main around November 2019 if I remember corectlly For now I do not want new content I want Plarium to fix old content first: The Market is terrible - add better stuf as your account level up , The value of running Iron twins is terrible - remove the energy or increase the reword significantly at least twice or even do both Hydra Clash - everyone participating should get rewords not just 3/5 clans Patch old legendary champions - there are alot of trash legendaries, all legendary champions shoud be great in at least 1 area or good at most areas of the game Patch old epics - all epic champions shoud be good in at least 1 area or okey at most areas of the game Sand devil and Phantom Shogun - reduce enrgy and increase rewords Live arena - losing player should get partial rewords Soul Stones - need better odds and way better wish list at least 50 times instead of 2 Soul Merchent - reduce Legendary split soul cost it's way to expensive or reduce the cost of essence Token Trader - reduce cost, give us some way to get the coins not just deleting dupes and rotating champions not same all the time There are probably more But this is what I can think of now

[@Ryuujinv01]

I remember when I first started the game started requiring spending silver keys to get advanced quests the moment doom tower became accessible, and doom tower was on a bommal rotation. Which meant just give up no advanced quest completion for you. Then they started requiring Hydra key usage which requires specific champions that you likely don't have. It was all incredibly aggravating. Hydra clash is a huge miss of something that probably could have been good, but as somebody who's been playing for over 2years now I certainly can't make an infinity team, and can't really make a passable Hydra team at all without a Shamael which just refuses to drop but he's IMO just as broken as the entire concept of the infinity team. They need to increase the effectiveness of veil or add something else that counters Torment so there isn't only "1" champion in the game that does it effectively. For all the people who have gotten multiple shamaels they're in a bubble of thinking that this isn't a problem.

[@cbottimus]

The rarity does add to the excitement but when you wait the six months and wait to pull all your voids and get a dupe total opposite feeling

[@colesmith193]

Been playing WoR for a bit now, along with Raid. They definitely don’t just hand out S tier hero’s, in fact they have the exact same summoning rates as Raid, but there pool of legendaries isn’t diluted with 80% trash. Also pulling on a 10X actually means something.

[@ajgray8939]

Being able to level champs easier and faster would be a great way to make early game Raid better so newer players can start to catch up and get to the point of building complex teams to tackle content. The beginning of Raid is such a snore fest of grinding campaign nonstop for months

[@emh7545]

Couple suggestions, super raids minno. Doom tower, let us pick the champion we are trying to acquire through secret rooms. Add another difficulty in doom tower and new bosses.

[@gh0std3lta84]

The reasons they won’t do that 1. They want you buying gems for masteries 2. If you got to pick champs to acquire from dooms tower it would be too easy for people to get OP champs meaning less shard buying

[@BlueGwapes]

The perfect percentage of battery

[@michaelbosch2196]

Beat me to it! Lol

[@chrisschiller4208]

Things for plarium to fix 1. Market should reflect player level for gear. You should be able to buy a void or two a month like the 5 ancients. 2. Gem mine should reflect player level and have higher upgrades. 3. Champion token trader should rotate relevant champions and allow epics to be traded for tokens. 3. Campaign needs an ultimate nightmare level and a God tier level 4. We need more space for gear. 5. Silver cost for gear swaps should at least have a permanent 50% reduction to costs 6. Tarven should create brews from the non used experience of clearing campaigns or dungeons 7. Tag arena sucks!!! Fix it 8. Doom tower should get a brutal level. 9. Faction wars needs a hard mode 10. Hydra should have more champion fragments for other champions past Mythrala 11. Raid needs a way in game that we can track our mercy with shards 12. Fusions need to have all info available for players when they release fusion data. Like what the point requirements are for each event/tournament with release. So players can look through and decide how to accomplish without playing the wait and see game. Then to find out its not possible for them after wasting resources. Etc......... i got more but this is already long!

[@KevinZach11]

For the vast majority of us that have full time jobs and families and we choose to spend our little free time playing a game like Raid, spending THOUSANDS of dollars of our hard earned money to get a little dopamine boost. When you’re 4 years into it and there’s only a few champions that are account-changing and they’re all void legendaries and you figure out that no matter how much money you spend, you may never get them… The game is just stale at that point. As far as, “Is the model of the new games going to work out in the long run?”, Raid’s model certainly isn’t working out for a lot of long term players now. I haven’t missed a log in to Raid in at least a couple years, but had it not been for all the money and time I’ve invested, I would probably be okay with never playing it again. Since I started WoR a few weeks ago, I’ve literally only logged onto Raid to do the bare minimum like daily quests and CB. Over the course of those few weeks, I spent my couple hundred dollars on WoR and got lucky to get some of the best legendaries in the game. Because 10x actually means something when the champion pool isn’t diluted with a bunch of useless champions. Had I spent a couple hundred dollars in raid the past few weeks, I would have most likely pulled maybe 1 legendary from ancient shards and it would’ve been my 6th copy of fucking NARMA. No thanks. And let’s not act like it’s some surprise that a lot of the player base is fed up. Every week there’s some new event that even the CC’s are calling out as being shady and greedy by Plarium. It’s been so outrageously blatant for so long now.

[@Happytremereinc]

I loved the suggestions in this video. As being a low spender, I've really enjoyed the game and fall into the 2yr crowd (arix). All I got is the raid card, gem pack and the occasional 200% mini mix pack.

[@Dingo500]

Think your spot on with the new players, Speed up the start of the game with chickens, brews, shards and books so you get to the fun part while you are motivated and engaged. I have played for 2 years now and the game has stagnated. What I want now is more rewards, re balancing champs, constant x2 raids on everything and for the love of good give me more books so I can use the champs I have to their full extent.

[@bakerguy43]

When it comes to the state of the game, all I can think of is the meme. "Stop! Raid's already dead!"

[@phinzafgaming1224]

Been playing Raid F2P since the start have a very good end game account started playing Watcher of Realms 2 weeks ago and absolutely loving it! Logging into raid feels like a chore where as I cant wait to login to WoR! The quality of life is leaps and bounds beyond raid and the tactical tower defence is really fun. Also proper Guild Wars is coming out this week unlike useless Hydra clash which is not what anyone wanted!

[@MYkeyMadeIt]

in first year and I love parts but definitely over: - endless rares and doubles - increasing need for specific champs as I progress or don't - not having books - scarce energy with escalating event points - bad equipment rolls and infinite upgrade slippage - all my clan members quitting - constantly trying to sell me new things instead of the thing(s) i buy, exploit my habit properly lmao - horrible pvp matchmaking and quests locked behind reaching gold 1 I'm an outlier that binge plays and uses youtube which has also allowed me to see old event rewards and how much energy used to be accessible. Finished and completed my first Champion Training by buying energy, usually i get to reward 3-4. The incline is simply too steep, exhausting imo and leads some to say "F this and You for making it this way" not "Oh you created a massive headache, let me pay you to bypass it". Imagine that lol

[@Link-2025]

Oh I did not know about the community tab. Will for sure participate in the polls from now on 😮

[@joelbalan4573]

Loved it at the start and spent a lot of time on it but now just casual and not spending anything.

[@eddieman9163]

I am FTP the biggest thing about " Wait Shadow Legends "( J Giggs ) is patience. Not getting your hopes up and getting used to RNG X RNG

[@CriticalThinkTank]

What they need to do with the mythical shard is make it a guaranteed Lego shard. The would justify the price they wanted and really people getting lego champs wouldn't hurt the game because you still need good gear for the champs. It would just make it more fun for everyone.

[@chasepeterson1696]

I have been playing for 4 years and I am still enjoying the game. I think part of the reason I still enjoy the game is that I didn't rush it. I never purchased shards or tried fast tracking into the perfect meta teams. There are still champions I could pull that would make me excited. At some point in the game, after beating everything and having quick teams, I kind of got bored. But at that point, I started giving myself challenges rather than relying on the game to tell me what the next challenge is. For example, I pulled Nodgar recently and just think he's a cool champ. I really don't need him for anything but I have been experimenting with arena teams alongside wukong. I also have to mention that the community is a huge part of why I keep playing. I listen to content creators on my way to work every morning and even though they don't know me, I feel like I know them. Leaving the game would leave me with no reason to listen to their content and I would almost feel like I lost a friend. Is that weird?

[@powergamerx425]

It's not weird bro, you would just be losing your content fix every morning. It would soon be filled with other content though as there is a ton more interests out there. But for now we have out dailly raid fix

[@42stek]

game is great your content makes it better

[@migueliriarte9824]

U know what i hate as “end game” player, the fcking 500 battles a month on campaing, i dont lvl anything on the campaings ffs change it after reach lvl 100 on acc 😓😓

[@powergamerx425]

Totally I always have around 300 to do, to get the sacred. They won't change it though, waiting resources is their whole mentality, hence 10xs etc

[@robertkuzma6912]

As someone who plays other games, plarium is not as bad as people make them out to be. One game has like 40 summoning currencies, no mercy, and you can always get the original obsolete stuff. Another has no new material and it takes months to max a champ without money. A third I play put out their challenge - the first mini boss is literally broken to the point that most people can't beat it at all. They released a patch that did nothing, they are promising another tomorrow, and they have temporary boosts for money that if they are broken they will not fix because it's only for a couple months. Remember, sometimes the grass isn't as green as you think

[@labrymal]

I am an old (4 yr player). Honestly, giving the resources to 6 star and give masteries for the first champ would be huge. Even 2 champs would be no issue as a leg up. Grey out or hide some of the upper parts that people are to low level to enter, also adjust the levels for some of the areas. Like gear leveling, why is fast leveling blocked for so long and like DT opened long before people even have multiple 60s

[@boomskillet3126]

A good change that I believe would make people want to play more is with the super raid dungeons. For dungeons with gear, make the super raids cost 1 1/2 energy cost per run, instead of double, but keep the same double rewards/xp. I think this would make players want to farm more and spend more time in game.

[@markschollenberger8872]

1 increase energy from energy refills and time by 30, they added 3 new contents that require mana to do, at least give us the mana to try these new contents wo sacrafacing what we were doing 2. allow all epic and rares to be empowered epics 75% rares 50% of he bonus legndaries get 3 award some priaml shards to all opponents doing hydra clash 4 allow speed runs on the new content, iron sand and shogun and faction battles

[@JoeLeasure]

Great discussion and suggestions. There's a reason Wait: shadow legends is so funny though, lol. I enjoy that the game doesn't give you everything at once, but it gets to the point where it feels really punishing. I'm no huge spender, but both for my time and my money I don't often feel like I get a reasonable value. So I'd say it's a matter of degree really.

[@AufnKopp]

I think you made some good points. If you get to pull too many good champs it's not going to be something you enjoy for a longer time you are more disappointed when you can't pull a good champion. I like challenges to a degree and i think it's good to be rewarded for it. For example like for Faction Wars where you get rewards for milestones why not do that for Dungeons. Maybe combine that with time or turns to make it more challanging instead of surviving champs. When you look at the gear I am not there yet I think the chances for Mythical gear a so low, combine that with the right stats the right rolls and then even ascensions... make it so that tournament gear is certain to have good stat combinations for example. But that might make it too much of a whale war in the tournaments.

[@Doomtowndandy]

When i first started the tavern and minotaur were the most annoying. I didn't spend money on anything other than shard packs to summon champs.

[@stevesanders4682]

I may not have all the answers, but I think my 1 idea would vastly improve the game. Each day the dungeons should rotate what they offer at 3x rate and always have super raids as an option. Maybe I don't need speed gear from dragon, but I might want some toxic for Heiress. So every day a new set is 3x. Same for spider, but with factions. Same with Ice Golem and Fire Knight. I could always use more savage, stun and regen. Someone else might want another set. This would help us gear our champs better.

[@WOLFOFOZ74]

Super raids should be on all the time and on all dungeons including mino and potion keeps. Brutal Doom tower with myth resources and a myth champ. BIGGEST THING NEEDED IS time savings.....instant complete on Doom tower waves and bosses. Once we kill them once(like CB)

[@abdoonman9493]

Also make mythical shards you can pull just epic and Lego and mythical that is will make huge difference to raid

[@fihamahmed5574]

15 years from now: Raid still has 10x with 2million heroes in the pool.

[@roaraune3581]

Great video, but I think the two features that Raid is missing the most are: 1 - player-interaction-features that actively enable and reward players to help and interact between themselves. Raid does not even have a "Friend"-system. My experience from other games are in-game features where players can help each other. Either to help other players to clear general/specific content or to compete against players/clans (CvC and Hydra Clash is a joke in that regard). It feels more rewarding when you are able to actively help friends or clan-mates, which in terms would incentives spending money to enable you to participate more. Plarium need to take a lesson from other games in other genres to build something more robust here. 2 - more "local/regional" leader boards as opposed to everything being pushed towards global Kraken "leader boards". If you stroll around discord, players like to showcase their account. But inside the game today you are either top10 global kraken on the leader boards, or you might as well not invest any money at all. There is almost nothing between or the leader boards (dungeon) are completely missing. These two short falling I believe may become the downfall of Raid, as we are currently mostly playing alone with no reward for spending any money.

[@jlwong92]

It’s not a simple problem to solve but the reward must equal the effort. That’s why clan boss has been good content.

[@TheAEKaBeer]

Reasons I think people are sticking around. 1. Raid is probably most people's first gatcha game. Like those Wow players that keep coming back to hate on it, it holds a space in their minds. 2. Sunk cost fallacy. So much time, money or both have been invested, people don't want to "throw" that year or 2 away 3. Beating content that was crushing in the early days gives a real sense of achievement. 4. Love hate relationship. There's so much good wrapped in crap in Raid. The strategy, theory crafting, theme and character designs are all great. But the randomness, the bosses that seemingly can only beaten by teams built around 1 champion (eg. Geo), the weak story, and the exploitative business practices just dirty the whole experience. Oh and the BS drop rates, 1 void legendary (Raglin) from shards after 3 years of play is BS plarium! Things as a longer term player that I would like to see. 1. Quick battle options for all dungeons and bosses, even combine them with multi battle. Most of us have jobs and families, the 6 hours+ a day maintaining our accounts are hard to manage. 2. Make dual builds available for maxed champs. Loadout 1 would be with one set of gear and masteries that suits PVP and another set for PVE or different dungeon as an example. 3. Let people theory craft by getting rid of the crazy gear removal cost. I still have some champs in gear from 2 years ago because it's a waste of 1M silver to regear them. 4. Ash mentioned it recently but up the social aspect of the game and build a proper clan v clan system. 5. Update all the shops with more relevant champs, gear, consumables, etc.

[@gh0std3lta84]

Improving old leggo champs would be good I think, making older players go back and make new teams with old champs. And new players would not be bummed out for getting a “bad” champ

[@1923825]

The biggest problem is not lack of improvement ideas (already tons out there), but Plarium does not pay respect and listen to players. So the easy solution is, people stop spending to help them learn.

[@Mrtheunnameable]

Plarium treats their resources like they have a limited supply of them even though they're digital.

[@REVObeezy520]

I don’t want things to be done with Raid 😢. I love playing the game and no other game has had me invested as much as this one

[@cavedog1279]

Plarium is going to keep doing things with Raid whether you want them to or not. Most of the changes have been overwhelmingly bad unfortunately.

[@darkworldsociety7789]

How about introducing a way to get a specific character that you want because in most games they allow you to do stuff to get a specific one you want

[@James-bi4jz]

It takes way, way, way too much time each day. The new bosses have all been lame, the fun thing about raid is figuring out my own solutions to boss fights based on the heroes I have, but the new stuff is just so absurdly specific and bypasses most of the good abilities we have been building up, its just not fun.

[@rayhellcat9558]

Really been a little more tuff lately hope a big turnaround is coming soon really enjoy the guaranteed Lego new toy to play with 🎉

[@gkar9757]

We need many small changes (immediately) and then they work to more meaningful stuff

[@Blevblunt]

I agree completely that raid excels because they played the long game with getting champs and all SLOWLY. You have to grind for them, and other games give them easily. One game is going to have to nail the balance of QOL and new player experience and slow burn.

[@MrManagemiracles]

While I do feel that things should be so easy that a player finishes and moved it should also not too toxic like having to sit and manual 1 hour hydra runs (multiple times if bad rng kills you) to ensure the clan gets that top score. The sweet spot is somewhere in between, raid are on one end of the spectrum which isn't ideal, it would help if they tone down the manual effort needed and monopoly of certain teams. The key strength of raid is that you can get the same result in many ways - players at different levels take different paths to get it done, this is slowly getting lost with everyone being boxed into very specific teams for certain content - hydra clash has become cadaver clash, God seeker aniri plus ninja/tomb dreng is pretty much synonymous with sand castle now, such things are a red flag

[@Cheese-It117]

The bad experience has been the last 3-5 months for me. I picked mixed one, but the last little bit has been all aggressive monetization and no new good content. Wish your doggie all the best!

[@RafaelGringo]

As a new player in the 8th week, I can say the first few weeks were a blast and now it's a chore. I really think giving resources to new players so they can level up faster and rank up their heroes would be a lot more enjoyable for us. Also, epic and legendary books should be easier at the beggining, it wouldn't hurt Plarium's pockets and it could potentially help newer players to have a use for an eventual good pull as it could boost their progress significantly. In this short time I managed to reach Dragon 15 on farming, now working on Fire Knight team. On CB I'm on Hard working towards Brutal (multiple keys, but still...). And this is thanks to a couple lucky pulls and my experience on previous games. Another point RAID should improve: giving players a clear direction. "Missions" and "Challenges" were supposed to guide the player but really it doesn't. I have 2 friends who left the game after a week or so because of that. WoR have a really nice feature of suggesting heroes for a dungeon/chapter. RAID could go a step further and suggest champions for a specific setup the player has. As an example, I have pulled Shu Zhen and she's carrying me on arena farming but I didn't see her working well on my other PvE teams besides her top raitings. Who should I swap? What gear is the best based on my current setup/dungeon team? I know the fun in these type of games is in discovering new strategies and learning how to tweak things, but RAID has HUGE content and very little help to guide the players in the right direction, so it will surely leads to frustration and players leaving the game.

[@RafaelGringo]

TL;DR: For new players, giving more resources like brews, chickens and books (epics and legendary included), a clear path/guide of progression and in-game AI suggesting best champions and gear for specific teams the player have already assembled. On note: I consider myself lucky enough to pull really good epics (Deacon, Toragi, Magnarr and Sandlashed Survivor) and two S tier leggos (Hellicath and Shu-Zhen) but I'm not sure if I should get them to 60 or use books because I'm not sure if they really fit my actual setup. I haven't got any reviver yet and my only healer is Apothecary (which I'm considering to 6* before some epics and leggos, but it soooo slow I'm unsure).

[@lfc-1892]

I like this video new video editing lol having two phone front camera holes making me so confused lool

[@moneyninja3852]

Me...I ONLY log in to do my 4 clan boss keys each day because that instant clan boss is the only amazing thing they have added to the game. I'm super mad about the Hydra clash only giving rewards for the top 3 clans. I have completely moved over to watcher of realms now except for clan boss. Been playing for almost 2 years.

The problem is the time commitment. I'm playing Dragonheir now.

I'm addicted to the game but never actually enjoyed playing....

[@dejanminovski3361]

I agree with you 100%,R.S.L is very good game,for me bad thing in this game is only price for primal and better ratio to got myth champ from primal shard’s and maybe fresh ideas for some part,s in game,is no good CC who played and make video,s about RSL with years and say best for RSL now for 2,3 weeks they completly change staff about RSL,if they no like to play R.S.L,ok,but please don’t write bad video,s about R.S.L,also soon i think and Plarium make a sometimes about that,maybe Plarium baned him and takes rules ( no after why they baned me ) - i speak about other CC who speak bad for Plarium ( i no speak perfect English but i think you undetstand me ) - your chanel is very good and hope your chanell grow up,and i wish you all best in your profesional and private life,only stay to be your,good luck from Dejan - Macedonia !!!

[@wreckitnick5464]

Love this game but 1 thing that put a bad taste on is the DEVELOPERs LACK OF CONCERN. Fascinating when you think of how fast they fix a bug that benefits the player VS how slow they fix a bug that detriments. Nogdar san devil bug? Plarium fix it almost immediately. EMIC passive bug? It still exists as of this writting.

[@RandomNY1234]

Plarium must be making an S Ton of money on eyes on the screen metrics because if not they would make the dailies take way less time than they do.

[@Bebusio]

As a new player (120days) I dont mind having same comp for all content. Or time I need to spend or grind. But I have issue with opponents and huge gap between us. For example, all opponents in arena have Scyl, UDK, Ninja, Ronda etc. I have only Artak. He is great but I feel much behind every1 else. @NubRaids, What I miss is new server. They have this option, but they do not use it. If they would open new server, I would deffinitly jump into it. And this should be simple to implement. Also bringing $ for Plarium as Krakens would like to be first everywhere. Would you elaborate on such idea?

[@indrajithak47]

That's the advantage of time in this game, the gap becomes large as a new player. Unless you whale your way through or get extremely lucky, arena is just a massive road block. Beating the pve content becomes easy, but man, even then you need some specific champs for the later content which leaves a bad taste.

[@Ickyray]

im at about 10 months so newish, also f2p. getting good gear takes way to long and silver is just miserable all the time. i do think artak should be free for everyone forever. i think all fusions should be permanent, and on that note a dungeon to farm TARGETED fragments for past fusions and a way to farm books would also be nice

[@Ilighitaq]

Wish they would get rid of flat stats for gloves, boots, and chest pieces

[@hal2735]

The newer players are probably getting their asses handed to them in LA and 3v3 (and maybe even classic arena). Raid needs some catch up mechanisms to survive imo.

[@paulliebentritt9243]

I have been playing since 2019. Pretty sure some of the long time players have actually put money into the game so it is a little hard to just give up. I couldn't imagine dumping a ton of money into something and just walking away. Maybe that is just me but I know that is what kept me playing even though I haven't spent in years.

[@mikehernandez5900]

I don't mind the randomness of Hydra heads. I think it makes things challenging when building a team. But I don't like the binary-like nature of some of the head abilities, like the true fears being tossed out. Its not actually binary, but feels, for me at least, restrictive enough to team building that it feels that way. And they need to nerf Cadavar. I don't even participate in Hydra Clash but I see why people complain about it. I've been playing less than 2 years, but I don't think I'll be playing for much longer than 2. I doubt I'll stop cold turkey at first, but I don't see myself giving much thought to Raid a year from now. The reasons are numerous, including real life concerns, so I can't say its entirely because of anything Raid has done bad or could do better. They have done some good things and deserve credit for that. For example, they seem to always hit a home run when it comes to free legendaries. But on the whole, over I want to say the past half year, maybe more, I think their actions have been blatantly greedy without offering much in return.

I am playing the other game more and more. Mostly because it does not waste my time all the time. Most of the energy or Time I spend is for very little rewards. Hours in Hydra for what ends up being rare souls or 5 coins. Wow. Same for Iron Twins. Or 100s of dungeon runs to keep 1 or 2 pieces and sell the rest. For silver that will need 3 mil of to level it up to 16 unless it rolls bad and its just wasted silver and sold making my dungeon run % worse.

It's a great game but it sucks without a stock pile of shards and energy to take part in an event or heaven forbid build a comp. Understandable new players find it the less fun. Experienced players have learned to balance resources, min/max, come to terms with if/what they are willing to spend. So can attempt a fusion without it being soul destroying. That said even on my low spend account (had that and f2p for 3.5 years) finishing a fusion usually burns me out for a few months after. Imo game need less greed, events need to be less predatory and more fun. Get rich like Riot and LoL but without ruining the competitive aspects so much.

As a whale. I need a path to guarantee what champ I want. And I need to be able to do it once a month. Minimum.

[@hackfletcher6253]

Raid is about Micromanagement and perfectionism. So multiple S Tier Champs in the First week and the chaotic battle system are not part in such approach. This is not satisfying for everybody. But seems to be successful.

[@pikaboi4408]

Heres my view as someone who is a short term player (less than 1 year) All of PvP is a waste of time to grind for. Hydra is primarily catered for PvP cause of its rewards therefore also not worth. (the best argument for hydra is Mithrala, thats it) So all i care for in raid is getting champions, which is mostly/best done thru demon lord clanboss. Doom tower is cool too and Faction Wars is ok as well. But Demon lord, doom tower and faction wars is all old content. Ok for me since im new, but i can already see the issues in the long term.

[@merck7406]

i wish fusions are not this hard to complete. it would make people play the game more and look forward for next fusions. Also not everyone is playing on PC and have all the time to grind artifacts. also wish there's like 5 primal shards for daily quests and they upgrade the stuff we see in the market. they also need to stop giving 5* rare artifact rewards for top players on the tournaments. can we get more juicy reward for motivation?

[@edwardmorris9882]

Could have shown us the Lambo you got from all your KZbin vids nub

[@chadr4013]

ur wrong about hydra and hydra clash. way to hard and way to high gear requirements.

[@arleysimpson3678]

Raid makes so much more money simply because they monetize everything, and are really stingy with resources to "encourage" that spending.

[@NathanBeranger]

I like the idea for this video... but so hard to watch as you are walking around. It is dizzying.

[@wink101]

There is no "saving" Raid. A game of this type has a shelf life, and it's decline and end are inevitable.

[@danielcook128]

How much fun can you have when forced to do PVP to progress when some can afford to spend 20k+ per year? Low spenders can't progress in TTA or Live Arena. How much fun can you have when it takes years to get specific champs .. I have played nearly 3 years and still don't have a Geo!?!? How much fun can you have with Hydra when I takes an hour to run a team that does not get the results you want so you have to reset and end up spending 12+ hours to play 1 key?? What is the point of having all the champs if you can't get the books or the masteries to make them effective?? This game just takes way too much time. It is not fun to pull 35 sacred shards to get 1 lego .. the list goes on and on.

[@kristiankongen7117]

I got interested again once hydra clash released. It was everything i asked for, and what i think a clan vs clan should be. However it completly ruined my motivation in getting new champions in a gotcha game. This is because either you run the same comp as everyone else (a rare, cadaver), or you do billions less damage than everyone else. So whatd the point of hunting shards for acrizia when a rare does billions more damage. Not motivated anymore and might come back if it dont takes to long to fix, however when i dont pnay like now i am forgetting it more and more, and falling more into watcher of realms.

[@MrTeaTwoSugars]

Less raid more dogs

[@aronlines3448]

I’m afraid I’m losing interest in raid … there greed is to much … and greed ruins everything .. and it’s showing now in game … do they not realise keep things cheap and you make more revenue… price things high you might get a 1 off purchase but then nothing keep prices low .. ppl will spend more and you will make a nice turn over .. but like I said greed destroys everything 👍🏻

[@pw5232]

Noooooooooo, i rly hope plarium does not see it. I hope raid dies fast because its hard to give up this sick addictio

[@protest6728]

How to save Raid?? "Just dont stop throwing you money" that it..that will save raid..what ever you do other than spending you money here will never HELP or save this raid game .trust me..that why if you stop spending you video will get taken DOWN..100%

[@arleysimpson3678]

The game is too much rinse & repeat. There's no variety in game modes, really. DT, FW, dungeons are all the same gameplay. Clan Bosses are the same gameplay, basically. Arenas of all types are the same gameplay. And the QoL needs addressed. WoR and ACE both have systems that use XP pools - you clear content with maxed characters and still benefit from that earned XP - it doesn't simply evaporate! Why doesn't Raid have that? Why haven't they adapted? Simple - greed dictates everything they do.

[@bigu1874]

A bit late to the party ;-)

[@davidcasey4893]

Do you think new players are being affected by all the negative content coming out of the cc's over the last month. it seems there are 3 negative stories for every one that is positive or concerning content. You all might all be killing the golden goose.

[@dd_zzero6827]

I truly think all this doom and gloom is driven by all the content creators. Raid will be fine. Even with the little bit of slide, they are still one of the top games. There are thousands of games out there that would love to be in the position Raid is. I truly think all the CC's got together and are conspiring to bring Raid down.

[@munkilee4105]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@RedDeadRobot]

The reason for a negative opinion in Raid after playing for a long time is easy to explain. Its time and/or money investment. Also clan connections. Though the fact that so many are happy or mixed baffles me. Almost every update is received negatively, yet they are happy/mixed after all that? You guys an gals are bipolar lol. It's clear to me why plarium does not need to change anything. Complaining = happy.... right?
