»Why anni is dying

This is going to be a long post, so if you have the time to read it, I hope you will do so. I wanted to post it directly onto the guildcraft forums, however since it doesn't let me post over 10,000 characters I had to post it as a google document.

Any feedback would be great.

To all the staff even if u agree/disagree about his ideas about the staff team and community u cant disagree about anything he said about the game itself. all the broken kits and features that he stated must be nerfed/removed without a doubt.

 

Hello Lewis,
To be honest,I enjoyed reading your feedback about Anni 3.0. There is so many true statements in what have you written. I was also reffering before that kit Astro shouldn't be nerfed because it can be easily rejected by kit Swapper. Regarding the auto-lapis, I truly agree.
I always see players asking about whether we should mine lapis by ourselves .Guide book is pretty awesome idea because it saves time for other teammates to actually explain which ingredients do you need to make potions.The category in shop with Weapons is not very grateful unless you actually need bows in map that you have mentioned before(the one without gravel).
Regarding to that example player Jack,I agree ...... As a player with maxed deffender ,I feel like I wasted my exp.
Therefore ,the behaviour of community can't be actually changed since some members are acting immature.
And yeah,Withered Toast and Xph deserve so much more appreciation.
I hope the Annihilation Staff Team will really read your brief description and feedback about problems here.
Greetings,

I totally agree with this Lewis. Such an informative review ! Hopefully the staff team take this into consideration !

Hey,
I have read everything in your post, and I agree as well with most stuff. The current state of 3.0 is not good, and there is plenty of room for changes.

In case you didn't know (probably didn't), Annihilation is currently being fully 100% recoded from scratch, which enables us to have better systems, better performance, and overall better, bugless, and smooth gameplay. This will be called Annihilation 3.1.

I will be sitting down with the head admin of annihilation and we will make a plan for a proper balance and handling of annihilation, that will be implemented into 3.1 already, and we will take what you posted here into consideration for sure.

Before people start asking me whether the new update will reset annihilation or not, I cannot answer that for sure at the moment, but for now it is not resetting. However that is subject to a possible change. We will announce it once we have made a final decision about this.

I appreciate you took your time to make this post, and like I said before, you are more than just a racist annoying guy

Have a great weekend,

astro is not that hard to def aginst cuz u have swapper but everyone complaining about astro when people defend with it. try to rush a team with astro defender, its almost impossible. even if u swap the astro his effect stays and in 90% of the maps u cant see nexus room from swap spots but even in few maps that u can see nexus room and swap the astro before he place u only counter the astro and if there are more defenders then there is nothing u can do. all u can do is wait for this 3 seconds gap when the astro is in cooldown swap him and just die to other defenders and this is on like 10% of the maps that u can see the nexus room, when u cant see it u 100% cant rush (atleast with swapper).

 

Completely according to Lewis, when I'm playing every day I see clear hackers who are never banned because there are never online admins, and to give another example of racism (which is not) the other day I said in Discord that my mother was black and I was muted for racism, I don't understand what is racism and what is not. Many people feel what you feel Lewis. Forever in mute....

 

Holy shit lmao. I love how well formatted this is. Thanks for putting in the effort das wassup. Also about the muting para, using the word "Asian" is considered racist now idk why. I guess its just hateful towards that community (no one does anything when u use the word Jihad against me since I'm a muslim tho reee). Anni did just die off. My clan (Klan) basically just stopped playing cause its so boring and not at all rewarding lol. Also can we make Anni a TEAM game and not a SOLO game? So many players just go get op solo and grind for trophies. It is what it is I guess. Really hope anni can be revived somehow xd.

Also thanks for including my video <3

 

I'm pretty unsure about those rules in general, but I am pretty sure, that it's not actually about the word "Asian" but more about the context. Saying "#BanTheAsians" sounds like trying to exclude an entire "race"/country from the game. Which I don't see why you would do that. Making it related to a country doesn't seem like anything but racism to me. I'm up for other explanations though.

Have a great day!

What you said here is definitely true, linking back to what I said in the google doc people with ranks definitely do get treated differently, I dont thinks it's because the staff like them more it's just definitely harder to believe them cheating. However, when it is clearly obvious that players are definitely getting 5 block hits that's when the issue starts to become ridiculous if they are still not getting banned.

The people spamming the winning teams and not their clans/friends team is also quite an annoying issue, something should definitely prevent the spamming of teams.

Hahahaha, no problem bro and I agree with what you said thanks for the feedback <3

 

I agree with you on most things and we (the staff team) appreciate you for making such a greatly formatted doc to let us know how we and anni can improve. One thing out of many things I would disagree on of course is people saying Astro can be countered by swapper because in reality it really can’t be countered if the person who is rushing with Astro has invis because once they place the beacon near you, you can’t swap while in the air and you are just forced to wait 10 seconds for the beacon to disappear and by the time it disappears you have like 25 nexus health left.

 

I agree with what Milo stated for each of the kits. I also feel if you want the server to grow, we have to make the game more enjoyable for everyone by buffing all kits and making it even , I feel the trophy system makes some new players upset because some kits like Sumo is op and farmers keep using that kit and farm the new players until they can't even do anything. This makes them feel like they don't want to play the game I guess you can call them noob, but they are new so give them time and so you need to make all kits even for more people to keep playing instead of dying to experience farmers. I also feel you should make sumo's jump lower as its too op that it avoids void swapping unless we do something to make the trap work. Other than that, Astro is also another op kit for rushing because when you try to defend the nexus the opposing team using astro can just placing the orb in the entrance to the nexus and its almost impossible to break it only with arrows, and you can't swap in the air but only swapping the user playing astro. All of this also depends on how well the server runs 24/7 cause its been down for a day and I know it will be fixed like how gc has always been fixed last time. Maybe make astro buff by not being able to place orb in nexus? I feel hexenbeast shouldn't be removed because they are few players that are U league and so only some has the kit.

 

I read most of what you said and I agree with you, current anni is not balanced, heavily p2w infested, and no overall gameplay changes since anni 2.0

Here are my issues with Anni 3.0 and possible solution(s) for them:

- So many kits yet few useful kits.
- Remove useless kits that only serve one purpose that won't help the gameplay that much, buff the kits that have an actual purpose like Pyro which is a great PVP kit, but no one knows how to use it. Many kits could use multi-purposes/abilities so they are not useless 95% of the time.

- Heavy P2w.
- P2W is despised by everyone in the gaming community except for owners, with heavily infested P2W servers, no new players can enjoy nor compete with Titans and Supremes, Titan itself was a huge P2W but Supreme is too OP, I would suggest to tune down on P2W and instead, giving more cosmetics and convenience stuff like for example Extra EChest slots, cool particles or something along the lines, and reducing XP multipliers to like x5 or something.

- OP kits are hard to counter if not impossible.
- Kits, especially OP ones need to have more than one way of countering it, a lot of kits are too op as Milo said and I agree with him, like the Terrorist and Hexenbeast.

- No help guide for newbies.
- Most new players who don't know what Anni is or how it works quit the game in a matter of minutes, after getting farmed or just seeing a lot of stuff that has no explanations, I would suggest adding those server messages to newer players so they know how to play the game, how to buy stuff, how to use commands and other stuff like that, new players will save the server, not already existed players because those will eventually quit and will be tired of having no competition or fun since everyone who plays nowadays are donators only.

- No new content.
- We have the same content from Anni 1.0 and 2.0. You either Invis rush, OP rush, OP farm, troll with invis and other kits or just scout around and kill randoms so they quit. I suggest adding new stuff, new use for ores, new bosses per phase, cool items and more possible playstyles.




Overall, the way you get a consistent player base is through hard work and creativity, you need to plan and design how the game should be played and code it accordingly, no one likes p2w ever donators themselves, and I hope stuff do change in anni 3.1 even though I doubt it.

 

Why anni is dying?

You are only talking about your disadvantages.

Talk about the advantages that you have which is also why anni is dying

I will explain u will understand.

I will only tell about me wont involve others. I have more number of wins than loses and I am near to silver trophies but yet to reach needed another 100 tropies then I am silver. Thanx to #1 clan that I reached this level by spamming #1 clan where they go. I don’t need to do much if I am in a team full of #1 clan. If I join other teams where #1 clan is in other team, I lose the game very fast in phase2 itself, also cannot mine three iron to get iron pickaxe to mine gold, I get killed in iron mine, it takes time to mine iron with wooden pickaxe. So I must keep spamming in the lobby if I want wins, xps and trophies, sometimes I don’t get to play any games because of spamming and nobody wants to lose. 95% chances of wins if join #1 clan team whichever colour they are in, otherwise 95%chance of loss if join the weak teams.

So why not talk about this advantage that u have is also keeping players spamming and leaving the game

 

Sorry,I am curious...What is advantage in your statement?That thanks to your clan(#1),you are winning games by spamming to join with them? Does that connects with anything what Lewis has said?

 

he is in #1 clan, that is the advantage which is also making people spam for win

What is advantage in your statement?That thanks to your clan(#1),you are winning games by spamming to join with them? Does that connects with anything what Lewis has said?

yes, you get 95% win if you join their team. he is only talking about his disadvantages why anni is dying, what about the advantages that he is in an op clan that is also making players bored of playing

 

TL; DR. Annihilation became more comparable to Roblox as of now.
