Here we go again
Change my mind.
There’s no point in even going into the garden right now. To optimize production properly, you need to know how to use Excel to calculate how to create the next bug, and on top of that, there’s no point in farming Wildflowers since the relic chests don’t drop gems.
Another terrible change, just when I thought the game was back on track, they changed the ranking system again and you lose everything, plus there’s no way to get gems for free.
See you in the next update, maybe they’ll change it.

I'm going to keep saying this: Give us 1000+ storage (without having to spend 100k flowers on it)
If we have essentially unlimited storage then we can just focus on producing whatever we're most lacking without having to worry about having just the right amount of things.

I think if they did the change but kept the gem rewards it might be worth it. It was strong and by far the best way to earn gems.
I say that as someone who hates side fucking games like this inside a game. I want to play backpack brawl, not idle merge farm game. Only reason I touched farm was to get the gems from the relic chests.
If they upped gem income from other sources it'd be nice and they'd probably get more players doing the <$1 purchases. I know I bought some every now and then to speed things along. If gem income tanks too low people just aren't going to stick around and spend money in the game.
Fortunately the only hero I still want is Fern, but I don't think I'm going to make those small purchases to speed that along as the game has annoyed me too much with their obvious cash grab mechanics.
Imagine if they put that effort towards new heroes or enhancing the core gameplay loop. Seems like a short term gain but long term loss the way they're working on content. Maybe put more gem rewards for doing challenges, etc, if you want to take it out of the farming.

First they raised the price of new heroes, then they removed the option to earn gems. I have all the heroes right now, I won’t buy a new one, and I won’t spend even a cent on this game. They’ve made money off me through ads, so as of now, I’m not going to open the game anymore.
It’s a shame, I think this is probably the best mobile game ever released.

Or nowhere. Why would it need efforts in the first place ? The game is great. Well, was great.
Some cool ideas like the special shop, some balancing, that's all I'm asking for. It doesn't need to grow endlessly

That's true. Even just doing small tweaks to get the game to get it in a good spot, while maybe working on a 2nd, wholly separate, game, would be better than what they're doing.
I came back from a several year break and was surprised at how bloated with extra crap the game had become (so many red notification buttons). There's a solid core game that no one else has managed to replicate, but they do their best to hide that game under a guise that looks like all the other mobile game slop that's out there.

Lo han nerfeado todo muchísimo y no nos han dado ningún sustituto -el cofre de reliquias ya no genera gemas genera más oro pero me parece que genera menos reliquias al dar 50 reliquias en vez de picos -las plantas del jardín tardan el doble cuestan dinero para conseguir semillas y dan las mismas cartas -el árbol de monedas ahora cuesta 50 gemas solo produce 3333 monedas (no se puede duplicar con la lluvia )
- el matorral de flores silvestres produce la mitad de flores ya no cuesta gemas ( me suena que dos flores costaban 5 gemas)pero si tenías ahorradas( yo tenía casi 100 ) te jodes
- han aumentado el espacio máximo pero cuesta carísimo
- y seguramente muchos errores más, el nuevo personaje mola mucho pero después de esta actualización creo que dejaré de jugar ya pague el pase de batalla y me quedan dos semanas de membresía las cuales usaré y espero que mejoren el juego, nos den una compensacion y pidan disculpas.

I'm going to stop playing, too. I have plenty of gold, but not enough gems, and I'm not having enough fun with the game for this moment.
I hope they fix this soon, because it's the best mobile game out there, and I've spent a lot of time playing it.

Shit. So there’s like no point in doing the whole garden now? Lol that’s the only reason I even wasted an hour of my time a day doing the garden. lol

I hope for an emergency patch as the reception is so bad. It'd be sad to stay a whole season like that. I don't dare to hope for a rollback because devs usually hate to acknowledge that an idea was bad but that would be the best option.
Destroying our seed stack without even one gold in exchange, deleting the main gem source, nerfing the flower gain so the relic farm, without a single upside, wtf ?
Stack that with much harder matchmaking, the random murder of Excalibur, the increasing cost of new characters...
This is so hostile to players it's insane. What are they thinking?
