Thread: New Upcoming Game: Crystal Maidens

For what it's worth, max level for 'element buildings' is level 10. There's a bit of a jump between 9 and 10 too.

Level 9:
- +125% element damage
- 125k gold to upgrade
- 7 days build time to upgrade

Level 10:
- +200% element damage
- 250k gold to upgrade
- 14 days build time to upgrade

I'm a F2P player and bought the multiple upgrade thing from the gem store for 1200, running the Hard boss zones 1/day and doing Quests for gems (still over 1300 left) will generally be enough to pay for the upgrades. I've got three different ones upgrading to 10 right now, one's still on 9 and the last one finished upgrading already. Once that's done all that's left is item storage and such so i guess that's the end of silver as a useful resource aside from Skill upgrades. Hard to beat a +75% damage boost though, and it should affect their attack skills as well.

Something to keep in mind if anyone else is considering buying the Multiple Upgrades thing. I can't be arsed to wait two weeks for a building to upgrade so i picked it up, but YMMV.

Have the devs said anything in-game as to the status of this game?

Pre-registration page is still there, and appears to be working (though you have to know the link), but there has been no update on what I believe is their facebook page since like July.

The way some people are still hard for this game after all the fucking over the devs have done to us makes it more appropriate to call it 'Crystal Methdens.'

Nominally, only people in Canada have been (possibly) "fucked over" by the devs. I'd assume the reason people (like myself) are still interested is because as far as we're concerned it's pretty much a blank slate. With significantly better than average art for Nutaku.

I am sort of curious when they (Nutaku?) release early in one region, if there is any indication while playing that it's essentially a beta.

Once they decided to not reset upon global release they fucked over everyone who was waiting for it, and every additional delay just pounds it deeper.

I don't really see why that's an issue. Even if there's some form of competitive gameplay where being farther along is an advantage, that can easily be addressed in at least 3 ways off the top of my head.

1. Segregate the player base
2. Handicap the players
3. Give new players some sort of perk. (Unique Maidens or somesuch)

It's ok to do a limited beta of a few weeks, what we looking at now in months?

No reset mean there can NEVER be non segregated competitive events - I mean if it's like FKG where there is no competition then fine, if it's the top 1k players get X, then I'd stop playing 1st event
