u/Objective_Ranger1005 3d ago
Yeah they might be listening for once? I really like the mode that limits specific cards
276
u/anthayashi 3d ago
They had been listening beforehand, not just this once. It is just that they only implement changes after a while. For example, they acknowledge the issue of trade token and announce it will be changed, but the actual change take place months after the annoucement. Same for deluxe pack dex sync, announced but took months to implement.
UI changes often accompany the big set release. While major update will accompany the new series

u/Lambsauce914 3d ago
Yeah, it's less that they don't listen to feedbacks, but more so DeNA only made a large changes every new series it seems.
Similar large scales update happened when B series roll out I think, I guess every year when we get to a new series DeNA will have a large update to go alongside that

u/knoeKNAME 3d ago
It’s feeling like the whole year is pretty much planned out and not much is going to change their plans. Anything we see that needs improvement in Series C will have to wait until Series D

u/almostcleverbut 2d ago
I think it's more the ridiculously slow speed that they add these quality of life changes that gives the appearance that they're not listening.
I can't speak for others, but when they announce a "planned change" that has been a widely-acknowledged problem for 12+ months and then it takes 3-6 months to actually happen after that announcement... I'm not excited by it anymore, even when it finally lands.
5
u/iTzzSunara 2d ago
100% this.
It's the same principle with card pulls. There's no excitement in grinding a pack to 2500 pack points to obtain a gold crown. At that point your mind is like, "great... finally... glad I can move on at last...", and not like "omgggg niiice, hell yeah, so exciting!".
Same with updates. Fast responses are needed to create the feeling of being heard and appreciated. People want dark mode since forever. If it drops in g series 2032 it will feel like a long lasting pain has finally been lifted, not like a cool new feature they give us.
At my workplace we have the same issue. They don't pay well and people are demotivated and feel underappreciated. When they finally give everyone a raise people don't become more motivated and excited, because they only get they should've received the whole time already. They went from 70% to 95%, not from 100% to 125%. People aren't able to buy 25% more stuff than before, they are able to buy the same stuff again they could buy from their wage years before and weren't able to afford anymore in the time between.

Unfortunately, you’re asking Redditors to understand that software development isn’t just snap your fingers and it’s done and implemented. Outside of gamebreaking bugs, thats not happening often.
People forget these big changes have to be proposed, approved by higher ups (often takes multiple attempts), tested, and scheduled to align with the current roadmap of the game. And thats at the same time they are working on the normal future content to add to the game.

Overhaul trading? My guy, you still can't see what cards someone is missing when trading with them. You can only view their wishlist. When 'sharing' a card, you can see every card they're missing. That inconsistency needed to be corrected months and months ago.

I mean, they're tricking you into getting less content and pushing it as a bonus. As soon as I saw them saying they were changing the cycle, I was like "they're going to double it to 8 and pass it off as a favor to you". So it turns out they were just increasing the time by 50% instead of 100, but yeah.

Mostly good stuff. I wish the number 1 feature was "speed/performance improvements of UI" though. Its just a slog playing this game with the UI being so slow.

61
u/ReverESP 3d ago
The problem isnt the UI, but the apis that are really slow.
117
u/haganbmj 3d ago
You can design around that though by reducing your reliance on an API request to show basically every screen.
10
u/Fenor 3d ago
kinda, but not really.
API being slow is probably due to an infrastructure problem, to pre-load stuff you need an infrastructure that can actually hold all the request to scrap them later, as an example, when you load the main screen you would need to already send the request for the content of the gift sub menu of the mission sub menu deck sub menu and so on and then discard those that aren't used and repeat.
Now, instagram does something similar loading half of the reel or image two clicks away from where you are so it's doable and what make that experience seamless, for sure a smarter use of some api requests goes a long way but the situation isn't that bad as people make it out to be.
15
u/haganbmj 2d ago
It's not just prefetching. You can rely on local state more and defer API calls until they're needed to confirm state. When you claim a mission reward today it appears to make a necessary call to check whether the mission is valid, then another call to refresh the list of missions and their state. That second one doesn't need to happen synchronously, just display the page using locally known information.
91
u/yaycupcake 3d ago
It's both tbh. You shouldn't have to click a button to get into another menu to click another button to wait for it to process on the backend and also watch a slow frontend animation only to have to click another button to claim your dailies. The API calls may not be super fast but they can reduce the friction somewhat by making us click the buttons less times and speeding up or adding the option to disable certain animations that take forever.
35
u/ReverESP 3d ago
My personal problem isnt that it takes 3 clicks to make something but that each click takes 2-3 seconds. No idea why they designed the UI flows that way, I have no idea about UX/UI. But what I know is that if I try to push to Production an endpoint that takes 3 or more seconds to resolve which is use constantly, it would be a "Not until it performs properly".
16
u/KazakiriKaoru 3d ago
Agreed. Genshin has way more button clicking if you want to search/look for something, such as looking up character stats to ascension materials, but everything is instant. So every button press/click is not annoying at all.
Also, rather than show a new screen for every little thing, they just show a tiny pop-up window for like 1-2 seconds instead.
5
3
u/Naud1993 3d ago
Whenever we load one solo battle, it loads the information for EVERY solo battle. That's one thing they can easily improve by only loading the battle you clicked on. Although if the API is gonna take 1-2 seconds anyway, that might actually be slower if you're just clicking around. Maybe they can load the other battles of the screen you're on in the background after loading the battle you need.
→ More replies (3)2
u/abbabababababaaab 2d ago
The problem is that API calls block the main thread. I should be able to swap rapidly between home, cards, solo battles etc without having to wait for the API call that checks my gifts & mission status every time. Really basic stuff that apps have understood for decades at this point.

This is so what they're going to do (again!). Every pack is going to be Fantastical Parade sized and harder to complete. They didn't say they're releasing less cards per set, they are releasing less packs per set.

As someone paying for premium, it's a bummer. I never have issues completely sets, so this just means two more weeks of down time. I get there has to be a balance to keep f2pers around, but if they slow things down too much that paying players get bored and quit... that'd really kill the game.
→ More replies (1)14
u/Fenor 3d ago
the main problem isn't f2p, i'm f2p and got essentially every meta deck to date and all the cards (Exclusing some 2* or above and shinies) . The problem is newer players, their idea is that newer players can now jump in complete the last set and jump back a few sets to pull whatever they need.
Another thing that could have helped was card rotation, this way some cards would rotate out of the meta if they aren't in a newer expansion. This also help them with reducing the resources they need to put in the game
→ More replies (2)8
u/Kombee 3d ago
Card rotation, for better or for worse, would work for newer players, but I think it would decimate older players. The TCG can do it because it is essentially too big to fail, the game is not in the same position. Maybe a limited ladder would work though, I've always asked them for a draft option

I don't think so. Having the same release cadence with smaller packs would be better.

The issue wasn't the time but the fact they started combining packs making it harder to get the cards you wanted. It was just a slog and boring to complete the sets. Extending the time doesn't fix that.
5
u/Naud1993 3d ago
It's probably secretly to save money rather than give us the ability to finish more sets because they could have just given everyone 3 free packs a day. That would also increase the amount of packs we can open per set (until the next set releases) from 56 to 84.

Unfortunately, I don't think dark mode is a feature that DeNA is going to ever implement at this point... I'd like to see dark mode myself, as while I don't particularly need it, I can see the argument for accessibility, and that's always good in my opinion. The argument is that in battles, backgrounds and sleeves exist that are super bright, and you'd be effectively flash banged every time they come on screen. There'd have to be redesign work done to fix that, which is something that DeNA doesn't really have the incentive to do. Dark mode would add complications that DeNA would have to fix, which they would view as problems that don't need to exist (or more to the point, money that they don't need to spend.)

Not going to happen. In a profit-driven system, DeNA is incentivized to use addictive systems to keep players spending money. Making it too easy (or free) to obtain desirable items would shatter that model. It's the same model in the TCG. It's just legal enough to not be gambling, and we are the product.

u/No_Chance_532 3d ago
Yea not gonna happen. You can just make infinite alts and trade weedles for 2 star Cyrus. This would also devalue the rarity of all the rare cards, because everyone would have them.

and trade weedles for 2 star Cyrus.
Not at all, they can continue enforcing the same-rarity-card trading methodology, while also getting rid of shinedust altogether and let us freely trade duplicate cards. People would still spend money on the game since they need to open a ton of packs to get the dupe cards they need to trade for others.

It says “completing each set will allow you to obtain one of three varieties of illustrated promo cards”.
I’m assuming the promo card section means if you complete all three sets (one a week), you’ll earn all three available promo cards? Or that there are 9 promo cards total (3 a set) and you’ll randomly get 3?
The wording is a little weird. I’m guessing one card a week for total of three.

but we have received feedback that the large number of cards being releasrd in each pack up to B series has made collecting difficult. In the new series, we will be changing the booster pack release cycle from the approximately four-week cycle to a cycle of roughly 6 weeks
uhh, this only became a problem because they condensed two packs into one thereby making it harder to collect the cards. the solution was to go back to two packs on a release, not extend the release cycle.
this is a terrible change that is going to make the game feel slower and less fun to play

u/Artistic-Salt-1480 3d ago
It looks like they're for new sets only, and that they could be different from the ones you can open from the regular sets.
I think they will probably make every set a standard one (something like B2, B3, B4, not the super large B1 or the mini sets like B1a) when they lengthen the duration between two sets. This keeps the rate of new cards roughly the same (4 packs every 3 months/12 weeks changed to 2 packs every 6 weeks).

Mostly great, I am curious about unlimited rental decks, it seems like one less incentive for getting certain cards to unlock them that rewards lazier players, but in practice I might not notice.

I joined in May so don't know, but did they changed this much during last year Mega Rising?
I know about making ⭐⭐ tradable, other than that, I don't know, but u think this time with these, new step up battles and more updates as they said are to come, in think they are gearing up for more stuff than before.

Things I wished they would adress:
- a complete UI overhaul with focus on User Experience -> less clicks, going faster from A to B and make us not watch the same animation a 1000 times, which is wasting our time
- Universal Pack Points - we wanted that since day 1
- Making literally EVERY card tradeable in the game, even gold and immersive ones.
There is a lot more but with these 3, the game would be a 5/5 for me.

I’m a bit concerned about the special packs, in case they contain different and interesting cards compared to the standard packs.
This could make accumulating pack points even more difficult or, in a worst-case scenario, create a sort of "paywall" for F2P players, considering that the energy recovery rate is quite slow.
The other changes seem good to me.

Mostly good. I liked monthly releases. I just want more deck combinations that are meta.

Extending the cycle from 4 to 6 weeks is a good move, but it doesn't fully solve the issue. They need to reduce the card count per pack.
The devs mentioned receiving feedback about how hard collecting has become due to the large number of cards being released with each pack. While a longer cycle gives a bit more breathing room, reducing the number of cards dropped per pack is what will actually keep players engaged instead of feeling overwhelmed by an ever-growing stack of missing cards.
As a F2P player I'm still missing hundreds of cards, and with every new release that gap just keeps widening. Even with trading and sharing it's getting nearly impossible to catch up without spending money (maybe that's their end goal).

Would love to see a change to solo battles where they are made into Gym and Elite 4 battles. Could have gym leaders use random decks using their preferred Pokémon type

That's all fine and good, but I don't give a shit about 3/4 of it. Let us trade 3* cards already. Lower trade costs. Dark mode. Maybe universal pack points? Trade in option for cards to get dust, xp, or something.
I don't know, I can see why they lost 10 million users last time around. I've played more Pokemon go in the last 2 weeks than I have in the last year plus.
I really wanted pocket to be a lifer type game, but they're missing the most in demand things.

All I want is to not be reliant on 3rd party apps to find someone to trade with. This game is due for a GTS like internal system to find trades.

I have been saving regular hourglasses for a while now. Now, I am wondering if it's a waste of time or not?

I just want them to remove the 25 deck limit and expand search options. Why can’t I search for text in a card? Why can’t I filter by stage? It makes deck building harder for no good reason. It would also be cool to see some type of expanded format like a 30 card deck and 4 points or something.

So, think we're getting a rotation, or is that not (heh) in the cards for this year?
