    Default Medal drop rate improved (again!)

    After all the whining, theories, and digging into the company's past of revealing they are CHINESE! (oh wow) and how they aim to steal everyone's money away in a game, they announced:

    "We've listened to your concerns and we are currently working on some changes to how medals are earned. We understand the frustration players experience when trying to earn medals and our goal is to strike a balance between reward and difficulty in earning them. We want players to be able to earn the medals, but they need to be challenging enough that you feel a sense of accomplishment when receiving them. We'll have more details soon, so hang in there!

    we are now preparing to offer a further-improved "Medal Drop" system to our players. According to the latest feedbacks from the players, we feel urged to maintain a more logical "Medal Drop Rate" system in-game for the coming version, in which drops of medals hing on different level of valleys and cities. Meanwhile we will increase the "Medals Drop Rate" substantially in game plays."


    People never seem to get that through a development of a game it may take longer then 1 or 2 weeks to hammer out a potential problem. Keep in mind the medals are a main part of the game's progression, so you may see further changes down the road.

    You say that people dont seem to get that it can take longer than 1-2 weeks to hammer out a problem. How do you feel about the fact that ever since the game has been up, they have been trying to 'hammer out the problem', and to this point, all theyve really done is given a pile of people the ability to advance REALLY fast, then made it so anyone else who wants to advance fast like we did, now has to pay real life cash, almost to advance at all?

    Sure, the drop rate has been increased significantly. 1% up to 2% is a 100% increase, and its still beyond ridiculous. The only thing that explains what these people have done with the medal system is greedy attempts to force people to buy (ridiculously priced) medal boxes. A shame for them it is backfiring, and people are quitting left right and center.

    I just hope that when the game falls apart, all the playerbase leaves, and UMGE's (stellar! lol!) reputation is tarnished even further, that they are left with a big bill from equipment and wages for hosting the servers. Unfortunately, given that they run server two off an old 486 with an ice pack taped to the front for cooling, and dont seem to have a single english speaker or customer service representative, or techie employed, I doubt it will really cost them anything. A shame.

    Perhaps give them some time and enjoy your game?

    I don't care if they are Chinese or Irish, I'm not paying them a cent to play a decent game in which I don't have to surf through ads to enjoy it.

    Just because most people don't care for the Chinese government, this is no reason to bash all of China.

    This is a game! Enjoy it.

    They mentioned in the announcement that this will take effect after the next patch.
    Im still seeing version 1.1.05 which has been the version for the past 5days.. No patch has been added yet therefore no medal drop rate has been improved as of yet.

    actually I have gotten 3 medals and a teleporter in the last 3 days, so it has improved. I like that it isn't easy to get a medal, but it shouldn't be impossible. I think they may have got the balance just right now.

    I got the 3 medals from valleys, 2 captured, 1 not. Levels were 6,7 and 8

    I got the teleporter by attacking another player (would be interesting to know, if the other player lost a teleporter at the same time).

    Actually, I'm pleasantly surprised. 5 days from the last adjustment to a realization that another adjustment needs to be made is pretty quick turnaround. I figured I'd have to parade around the forum with this sig for weeks.

    If they get the medal system resolved this is one heck of a game. GO UGME!

    Hi

    Myself and many other players on the servers have still not been able to gain ANY medals.
    I am on server 1 - which when I started, whenever I attacked valleys, I got loads. Server 3 was next on my list, which I did get a few, but not as many.
    on servers 4 and 5 - I havent had a single medal from attacking valley's and all I need are the medals for my next promotion.

    Having also spoken to many of my fellow alliance members, and read abut it in the world chat on all servers, it seems I am not the only person to be missing out on medals when atacking valleys on any server.

    Is this going to be sorted out? as it is stunting our growth when it comes to promotions....I am sure there are many people outthere, if not all, that are experienicing this problem and would like it sorted out.

    Manythanks,
    Sp4nn4r (serv4 and 1), H4nn4h(serv3) and L31GH(serv5)
