Letter to the developers, September 6

September 6, 2026

This letter is published at the request of the player community. The site acts as a platform: we publish the letter as it is, we are not its author and we do not sign it on our own behalf.

Good afternoon.

We are happy to see positive changes in the game. It is clear that time has been spent on improvements, and players have noticed.

Players especially appreciated:

Thank you for your work.

However, there are still important questions that need answers

Your silence on these matters is not acceptable.

Regarding the technical problems during the update

Players were unable to log into the game for a long period of time. We understand that this was not intentional, but the game is increasingly designed around being online for long periods.

Because of the outage, many players missed daily events and felt that the compensation was not enough.

Moderators were also placed in a difficult position because they did not know what information to give players.

The list of gameplay improvements, continued

We continue collecting feedback and expanding the list of suggestions. The numbering continues from the earlier letters.

  1. 37

    Reducing Unnecessary Clicks

    Please add quick-upgrade options such as x10, x20 and Max for guild technologies, robots and survivors.

    For opening Gene Cards, Robots and others, add x50 or x100.

    Compass upgrading should also be reduced to 5 steps.

  2. 38

    Lost City

    Show the number of players participating in a siege and their total combined CP.

    An example from another game: the siege roster with the number of participants and their combined power.
  3. 39

    Drop Rates

    Please publish the drop rates for major prizes, especially paid statues and other premium rewards.

  4. 40

    Camp

    Expand the camp area so players can place more decorations.

  5. 41

    Mail Rewards

    If a player forgets to manually claim milestone rewards for 10, 30 or 80 attempts, please send those rewards automatically through in-game mail.

    Daily Competition: chests for 10, 30 and 80 attempts.
  6. 42

    Quick Crafting

    Add a fast-crafting option for purple and yellow equipment.

  7. 43

    Apocalypse Mode

    Please improve the flag system. Disable automatic flag placement, as it can interfere with strategy.

    Please also consider shortening Apocalypse to 1–2 days per week while keeping three time slots per day. Faction leaders cannot spend that much time online.

    Please also review the resources in this mode so that completing research is realistically achievable.

  8. 44

    Compasses and Blueprints

    Many players have reached the maximum level. We suggest reworking these systems.

  9. 45

    Clear Instructions and Proper Translation

    This is probably one of the biggest requests from players.

    Please provide much clearer explanations of events, game modes and mechanics. Players should not have to experiment and guess how important systems work.

    Proper translation is equally important. Many current translations are unclear or inaccurate, leaving players guessing what certain words, rules or mechanics actually mean.

    Clear instructions and accurate translations would greatly improve the game for every region.

  10. 46

    Forgotten Realm / Research Rewards

    Thank you for updating the chests. However, the “Research Rewards” still include only one Robot Ticket and very few worthwhile prizes.

    Please update this reward pool with newer and more useful items.

  11. 47

    Guild Shop / Honor Shop

    The Guild Shop and Honor Shop also need updated content and better rewards. Many current prizes are outdated for long-term players.

  12. 48

    Black Tide Invasion

    Equipment management needs improvement. When players have many items, they must scroll all the way down, select one item, then scroll down again to select the next item for crafting.

    Please add better sorting, filtering, multi-select or faster crafting options.

    Please also add an enhancement level counter for battle armor equipment and weapon accessories.

    Weapon accessories with a counter of total enhancement levels.
  13. 49

    VIP Rewards

    VIP rewards also need to be updated. VIP players are some of the most dedicated and active players in the game, and many of them are guild leaders or key members who help keep their guilds and communities active.

    The current VIP rewards no longer match the level of support and commitment these players provide. Please update the VIP reward system with newer, more valuable, and more relevant rewards.

About the No-Spend Day

Finally, the No-Spend Day was appreciated. Next time, instead of the Elf, please give players the Silver Wolf.

The Silver Wolf offer bundle in the in-game shop.

In game these are: Lucky Elf Sculpture · Commander: Silver Wolf

We would like to express our gratitude to all players and moderators who support us. We love this game — that is exactly why we care about its development.

Respectfully, United Players Coalition
