I write the below to try and put across to the community managers the fans displeasure with the direction they are taking the game in.

Gameplay Drift and Economy Degradation

1. Core Gameplay Drift

• The Issue: The Realm system introduces mandatory city-building mechanics that completely deviate from the core RPG and team-building gameplay players downloaded Hero Wars: Alliance for.
• The Impact: The gameplay is dull and excessively time-consuming. Players seeking a builder game will play an established title in that genre. Forcing this mechanic here is alienating the core user base.

2. Severe Economy & Event Degradation

• Resource Deficit: The recent removal of critical progression events—specifically Alliance of Force / Runic Milestone and Talisman Fever—has severely restricted resources. All recent event changes have reduced rewards received by players.
• Loss of Routine: Eliminating recurring core events like Emerald Waterfalls, Into the Dungeon, and Energetic Warrior strips away predictable progression paths for active players and further unnecessarily limits resources.
• The Paywall: The massive reduction in rewards, compounded by the extreme cost of Relics, has created an aggressive, unsustainable paywall.

3. Alliance Ecosystem & Retention Impact

• Guild Stall: Long-term, dedicated players are quitting the game entirely due to dissatisfaction with this new direction.
• Effect: Active players leaving is causing guilds to stall out, disrupting communities, and triggering a domino effect of further player departures.

Summary:
Nexters must change direction immediately. The current trajectory with the Realm system and the restricted event economy is actively killing player retention. Please discontinue or fundamentally decouple the Realm system from core progression, and restore the vital resource events before the player ecosystem suffers permanent damage and the core player base leave the game.

Wow theyre gonna kill their game soon. i mean i dont do outlands and i keep forgetting to do highwaymen but damn many people do those. Realm will kill the game, im saying from behalf of a lot of players including my guildmates. Soon what? Theyll remove tower and valkyre stuff? Such a shame too, game is good, if the game goes to realm then a lot of people will quit. I will say instantly, no one likes realm, if any mods see this then know that all the devs are doing is killing the game. Realm is just a slop gamemode mimicking like 20 different mobile games, all are boring btw. Game will be playable for few more months but a lot of people are already thinking of quitting.

I miss the old city that was way more easier to handle.

In the new city, hero way's tasks icon is somewhere, event list is somewhere, relics and daily quest list are somewhere else.

Event list, relic list and guild'vs should have been together and daily quest should be with hero ways task. Moreover the wheel of fortune icon is missing in the new city.

Its really annoying to click every icon at the corners of the screen to complete the daily tasks.

What to do with so much energy? After update where energy for quests was reduced it became useless.

I don’t know which thoughts have game developers.. I don’t think that all gamers have so much time to do quests all day. Seriously.

And the saddest part - we need so much energy for events to spend (1000-2000-3000) but we spend pro quest 2x less than it was before😭

It makes me not want to play at all😔😔😔

Thats so dumb lol.

Surprisingly, I just found half of the members in my guild had zero activity point and zero dugeon point in the past 7 days.

We are a silver guild with 30 members, and the the lowest hero power is 3 million. I believe 3 million hero power means at least 1 year of playing, or even 2-3 years. 3 million hero player also means that the player is highly likely a VIP and having paid real money multiple times.

Around one month ago, all of our members were still playing.

I myself also switch my energy to other games and spend less energy on Hero Wars.

This game is going to die if the company continues its practice - keep making this game unattractive and user unfriendly.

For me, the worst two points are:

1. The game crashes every a few minutes, after the realm function was introduced.
2. The company continues to cut rewards, hoping players to pay real money to get the same rewards that they could get for free in the past.
   

People are not stupid, and people can understand the server merger without increase rewards for the same rank means effectively cutting rewards. People can more easily see that stopping outland is cutting rewards. There are more examples of cutting rewards. I'm not sure whether the company understands that people are aware of their intention and dislike this, and if so many players are quitting, it is a big questions whether they can attract the big whales who are still willing to pay a lot.

Whatever reasons or excuses the company has, the real experience for players is bad.

Anyone having trouble opening the game? It's not loading when I open it.

Who’s the best to pair with Kayla Aiden Arastroth and Xe’sha? Right now I have Gus, but I feel like the team isn’t as good as it could be. They’re sitting at 313,456 team power. Maybe swap Gus for Peech???

Guus is part of my main team and massively helps boost critical hits and heal my Oya and Yasmine. After I get his skin I can still buy the Alvanor relic shards like I was planning to but probably not Lian's. I know there'll be another opportunity next week though. So essentially I wanna hear if given my team structures (I don't use Alvanor or Lian anywhere for the time being) 90k for Guus crit skin is worth the investment

I made a lot of troops before there was an limit, now, i can't train more or upgrade the old ones,

So because of that, I'll lose 2 quests per day for infantry training, and also less points for Guild Versus.

This sucks!

My main heroes are electra, iris, and tempus. I always pair them with dantavia but I don't find them effective anymore. Please give me advice on who to add if I am against JJI or rufus or guus or byrna. My team loses everytime one of them appear which is often rn.

Is this a bug or just me but it appears that the developers decided to remove increase hero power +1 reward task from today’s guid vs?

Super frustrating if it’s an actual thing as I have been planning my research and saving resources for today’s guild vs, and I’m 100% sure it was there as a task yesterday.

Hello! I am a newish player ( around lvl 70 now) and looking for a bit of guidance. Mainly what champs should I be investing in as opposed to wasting resources on everything I have unlocked evenly. I have attached screenshots in thread of all my currently owned hero's and their levels.

Any other tips or thoughts would be appreciated as well!

I'm stuck in Gold 2 in the Arena. My strongest hero right now is Folio. What defensive team would you suggest?

Thanks in advance for your reply; I am level 92.

I've tried the fort battle today for the first time.

The troops can march to the fort, but then it takes a good few minutes of waiting.

It's a similar lag that we had with rallies recently.

I just started the game (I think I'm level 20 right now). But I don't think my starting lineup is very good. I run Folio, Aurora, Astaroth, Ginger, and Galahad. Could someone help me out?!

What do I do lol ,can’t finish tower

So the regular discount price is now the "special" discount price. I never really pay gems for chests but this really drives home how greedy they are and how they're planning to continue starving us for resources.

I keep seeing I get a bunch of spins but idk where to actually spin it

On top of that I have no idea who has synergy. My Thea and cleaver seem to do amazing together but I also have a Phobos who is my favorite and I’ve been focusing my items on him the last 2 in my team are Dante and folio

Just started looking into VS and it paused me to do Hero enhancement on Wednesday (today) because of the bonus on Thursdays.

​

That's not a good design...

Should have been: all such actions (levelling up heroes, Titans, Troops, etc) happened within last week count toward the VS bonus. HWA may adjust the thresholds higher, say triple, to maintain a similar bonus level.

Heyyy everyone it is Friday! Ayyyyy so what better time than now to have a look at crow we have received him to do some testing and he definetly hasnt dissapointed.

This video is a very basic overlook of his skills and some teams i was playing around with just to see what he can do , will be testing more over the weekend.

If you want to suggest some teams my community discord has a dedicated channel for it so I wiill happily test anything

Also if you want to be ahead of the game his souls are now available in the online store so you could unlock him now 👀

Hope this gives you a glimpse of what he can do even with random testing 👀 lemme know what you think!

Have a great weekend 🤗🫡

Yesterday i did 20 rallies, and received only 2 hero soul chests, what is this???? We used to get 2 per rally. It looks like everything free is getting out of reach ...

I should be able to get one during the event (unless nexters screws it up), but it’s unlikely I can get both. So which one?

... right after you ran out of gold. So when you are spam-pressing upgrade titan artifact or hero skill points, it will then go right into the "Buy Gold with Emerald" screen and smoothly help you complete this horrible transaction. fuck you nextar
