Friendship Refresh Overview

[TherMasterStitch]

Wait so do friendship missions not require some random badges to have to start them now? Cause it was a pain realizing you had to do some campaigns to get a badge just to start a mission.

With the friendship wall being cleaned up: does this mean many dialogue and those three text blurb for storylines will be removed?

[Wave9Nut]

Friend Level have both been completely removed.

SOUND THE ALARMS!!!
What will happen to old level up dialogue? Are you about to throw them out, and create lost media?

Aside from that, this seems really promising…
If I properly understood it…

@Wave9Nut
Polaris:
The missions are available as soon as the friendship is unlocked! There are only 2 types of missions now - memory or Disk Power - so you won’t have to choose between A and H anymore.

My response:

Friendship Refresh Overview

@Polaris If removing all the other friendship story content in missions then I suppose I might be more likely to move on from Disney Heroes sooner than otherwise. I am not affected by nerfs, nor reward changes, gold changes, or general negative changes to non-story related things, but story removal…, that is likely what may lead to me more likely leaving the game eventually. If the other friendship story content can still be accessed in another mode than missions it would be really appreciated…

Yeah, would definitely like to know what happens to all the mission story content, it is amazing PvE content afterall and is something to look forward to unlocking and not just grinding for the sake of getting stronger, rather to have something different and getting to see/read two characters having fun and interacting together :-).

14 hours

Even With Two Maxed R12s!?!?
Uh
its should be like 4 hours atmost.
14 hours 2 memories.
14×155= 2170 hours to 5 a single disk.
Thats around 90 days to max a disk withput buying in memory shop. Ish Its So Hard.

This maxes out at 120 unlocked Heroes, which gives 15 total Missions (up to 3 of which can be Memory Missions and up to 14 of which can be Disk Power Missions).

Only 3!?!?
I really like all changes and looking further to it.
But some changes doesnt sound good to me

Added: Disks automatically unlocked

• This means you can equip and level up Disks immediately for any Friendship, even without beating the 1st Episode of the Friend Campaign! However, those Disks will still be limited to 1-Star until you progress through the Friend Campaign.

Too P2Pish.
So Like A Vip 13 have a purple mulan and purple bo peep. " Yay! i did the disk"
This feature doesnt really sounds good to me

• Vip scaling on high lvl gets too much and tpp hard
  I try to do surverys of fyber and tap joy and never always they say Not a gd match rip off

12 hours at VIP0

Atleast 24 hours would be nice for F2Ps

[Musketeer-Endgame]

Too P2Pish.

You get a disk with less effort.
It’s F2P friendly.

[AbuBakr-Umar]

Name A F2P whos Vip 13 ?

[Appetizer]

The friendship refresh is great, but I have something want to feedback.

3 Memories

3 is too less. It should maybe 10.

enemy difficulty of existing Friend Campaign stages will be unchanged

It seems the campaign still too hard, so I think at least should lower 1 or 2 tiers.

Memories are still used to Evolve Memory Disks.

I think should lower memories for each star if only 3 memories.

Base Duration: 84 hours

I think it’s just too long.

[SlumberyBox41]

Does this mean I won’t have to upgrade heroes I’m not planning on using outside of the friendship campaign? I won’t have to level up both Baloo and King Louie to level 182 or both Maximus and Flynn Rider to level 190 to unlock their friendship campaigns, am I getting that right?

[AbuBakr-Umar]

Yes.
But If U arent Vip 13
Then U need to play 1st episode

[Musketeer-Endgame]

What do you want?

You will only need to complete one chapter, not eight as now.
So to get disk you will need to focus only in two characters, not five.

[Deputy_Martin]

General note: Some Challenges related to Friendships, Missions, and reinfected nodes have been adjusted to be compatible with the Friendship redesign.

Any preview on how the clearing reinfected nodes Challenges will be adjusted? Those Challenges are some that are very difficult for me to achieve

Edit: I have not achieve them yet, so any preview on how this will be adjusted would be very helpful

[Pipsqueak]

I would assume (hope) that those will just be granted to everyone, since it won’t be possible to complete them any more & changing to something else is a bit pointless when they can just release new ones

[unique_Teddy]

Why did people complain about friendships? Cause you knew perblue was likely to screw it up anyway with the refresh sometimes it’s best to just keep quiet

[AbuBakr-Umar]

Vip 13 have to focus on none…
Purple Jumbaa Purple stitch
Disk Done

No effort

So How Not P2pish?

[purplemur]

I think overall this would be a GREAT refresh of the system.

• The UI ease of selecting Missions is huge. Scrolling down that list was beyond frustrating. Time saver!
• Only needing 2 to start a mission is so liberating! There are “second tier” friendships that are just frozen now because one is always taken on H missions.
• Seeing Locked disks is good and always seemed like the dumbest restriction- yet someone had to Fight for that design choice- good riddance
• Fast Access To Disks! This is a paradigm shift! I applaud this choice! Standing huzzahs! You get to complete one campaign and you unlock a world of potential! This is very helpful for newbs and come-ups!
• Auto-Successful Missions/no more progression: it just happens now. You start mission you get the rewards. Steady measurable progress, not playing slots if this time will it count?

So yeah wowza gee-whiz golly! That is some kind of update!

But I feel sick in my stomach;

• The loss of story content and the beautiful synergy where the mission dialogue would tie in approximately w/ campaign was beautiful! The dialogue really made some friendships make sense.
  The names of the missions were brilliant!
  I just feel like this is a huge part of the game lost.
  I feel cheated too of all the H missions I have spent time working to achieve will mean nothing. My hard work AGAIN held valueless.
• Mission restrictions? What the…!!! 15??? 3 for Memories??? That is pure miser!
• New heroes still all have too high of an unlock level- one of the main complaints I saw- cool new hyped char that I cannot use until I am a maxxed player…unnecessary exclusion
• 84 hours!!! that will take us on s22 days- we ain’t got no Red12’s!!!. DAYS to get the equivalent of 10 hours. That is some hate towards the players right there. Again s21/22 punished for joining the game late. What gives with the extra harsh takebacks? Gahh 84 hours!!! That is just a spiteful number. Why? Why not just make it 10 hours like now? Why such a burden? This design oozes contempt. They spent SCRUM cycles devising a timer reduction system and imposing all kinds of restrictions that fail the basic game design goals of making it fun. It doesn’t even create $!
  Cue: “Ohh but at least now you won’t have to worry about collecting it on time…” I used to lose maybe a couple hours while I was at work before collecting and restarting now its going to take days to get equivalence.
  The new timer system is total #designfail

Summary:
Making my Frozone disks available right away but not ever making it possible to max a disk is an unnecessary trade.
Why? Why limit our Memory acquisition rates? This isn’t an improvement to move the goalposts 8x down the field, only let you field 3 players but make it easier to get to the field.

[Tragic-Magic]

The campaign stories will still be on the wall. The mission updates are going away with the new system

WHY??? Those are the best!!!

[purplemur]

Finish any Missions to lvl5 before the update to get those 5Memories!!

[Filadae_Djaq]

That’s practically impossible…

@Polaris can you ask the team to please rethink the decision to remove the dialogue and redesign the wall?

[unique_Teddy]

Also need to redesign the mission cap and increase memory tokens somehow cause 5k an invasion is 10 buys a week if you reach all tiers where it’s at so pretty much free users will have little chance to make their discs useful quickly by starting it up

[SlumberyBox41]

New heroes still all have too high of an unlock level- one of the main complaints I saw- cool new hyped char that I cannot use until I am a maxxed player…unnecessary exclusion

Uh, hmm:

The level and rarity requirements for unlocking friendships have been removed.

Or did I misinterpret your statement?
