State of the Game Nov 2023

@TheGrillFather

We know that there are still sentiments out there that the Season rewards could be improved around the Hero Chips, which we understand. It’s frustrating to get Chips for Heroes you don’t need them for. We hope to one day find a solution for this to make the rewards the absolute best they can be

Hope that comes soon. And not just hero chips, except for badge crates, all other rewards from war are so bad and outdated

@TheGrillFather

Changes to Friendship Campaign

• We’ve heard your feedback, and we agree! The Friendship Campaign needs improvements, and we hope to bring it back to being a fun and engaging experience for everyone.

Fingers crossed for lower difficulty for all campaigns and more friend stamina for us players. As of now, this game may be dead before I even have a chance to complete half of friend campaigns, let alone all of it

@TheGrillFather

Server 21 Merge

• The date is still up in the air, but we are aiming to merge Server 21 down to Server 1 before the Anniversary

We all know it is coming…

@TheGrillFather

Changes to Battle Pass

• We want the Battle Pass to become a more integral part of the player experience, so we’re working on changes to improve the rewards and keep it engaging for all players

More free rewards, pls

@TheGrillFather

Costumes and Mastery Skins

• Existing Heroes may also see exciting new COSTUMES! It’s been a long time since we released any costumes, but now with Disney’s approval we have the green light to give your Heroes some fun new flair!
• We’re also testing out a different type of Costume, that we dub “Mastery Skins.” One by one as we refresh heroes, they will get an exclusive, unlockable Mastery Skin starting from Gold, to Platinum, with a final unlock of a Challenger skin. We’ll have more info for you as we get closer to releasing them!

The only things I want is for all the princesses to have their gowns. Their iconic gowns… Nothing more…

Aurora, Belle… Wait for your turns…

@TheGrillFather

As mentioned, we will be dialing back the amount of heroes we’re releasing into 2024. The new cadence will be a hero released every 8 weeks

I don’t know how to feel about this. On 1 hand, this gives us more time to work on our heroes. On another hand, this seems too long

@TheGrillFather

Another reason is to get community feedback earlier on. We’ll try a new system of teasing heroes, but this time, you get a say in certain aspects of the hero kit before we release! We’ll highlight parts of the hero kit that can be changed, you’ll give us feedback or questions, and we’ll make changes accordingly. We want you to be a bigger part of the hero creation process, and we are so excited to involve the community!

And this will only make it longer. While we are happy to help, not everyone agree with everyone…

@TheGrillFather

Because of this new cadence, we will no longer be releasing new heroes through the Prize Wall. Instead, new hero chips will be rewarded throughout the game through the Battle Pass, participating in contests, and trials. The Prize Wall won’t be gone for long! We hope to still utilize this limited-time event as the main hub to earn costumes.

Now this is bad. While the Prize wall is no longer fun (I’m kinda tired of trying to reach tier 20+ every time and it gets so stressful), it is still a guaranteed way to have your new heroes at 6 star.

And consider the amount of hero chips needed increases exponentially as time goes by, unless your rewards are so good, it will only make the current situation worse…way worse

@TheGrillFather

We’ve also been toying with the idea of Campaign Stories. This would be like a spinoff from the main Campaign

We don’t even remember what story of main campaign is about…what makes us think we will be interested in another story?

All in all, as long as we don’t see actual changes in game, all above is just promises. And we all know what happens to most of them. They won’t come true…

Remember the time I kindly asked them to give us a in game mail when the consumables perk cooldown is over and they said it was easy to do? Years later, nothing happens

The same with auto quick fight for Invasion bosses (for clarification, this means we can quick fight multiple bosses at once, or even better, use up all our breakers with just 1 click for bosses) to help us save time

And many many other things…

Campaign Stories

• We’ve also been toying with the idea of Campaign Stories. This would be like a spinoff from the main Campaign with Heroes that don’t normally interact with each other. This idea is in its very early stages. We have to see if it’s feasible but welcome early feedback on it, too!

What makes this different from friend campaigns? Is it like a big story mission for a selected hero of your choice? No matter the case, I’m still excited!!

We did it… we finally get new costumes… I’m so proud.🥲

[Mister_Toon]

Why are you here if you don’t like the game?

Ever since you came here, all you’ve done is complain about this game being terrible and how the devs are doing a horrible job with it.

They say that they’re going to fix the problems and there’s nothing we can do but take their word for it. So, I really don’t know what you want from them. I mean it’s not like they can simply wave a magic wand and all our problem will be solved.

These things take time.

And if your not having any fun, there’s a simple solution.

Just stop playing the game and find something else.

Don’t drag everybody down with you.

[Marshy16]

Mister toon,just ignore him,he’s always like that

[Wave9Nut]

@TheGrillFather

Changes include a rework for the Codebase rewards and making it more relevant for the modern game.

PLEASE YES.

This sounds awesome. Fully looking forward to this.

Improved Hero teasers and release cadence

• As mentioned, we will be dialing back the amount of heroes we’re releasing into 2024. The new cadence will be a hero released every 8 weeks! This is to ensure we slow down the rate of power creep and take more time to improve already existing game modes, heroes, and economies.
• Another reason is to get community feedback earlier on. We’ll try a new system of teasing heroes, but this time, you get a say in certain aspects of the hero kit before we release! We’ll highlight parts of the hero kit that can be changed, you’ll give us feedback or questions, and we’ll make changes accordingly.

IDK how to feel about this. The slow release of heroes has been driving me crazy already. Feel like this could be bad for the game. It kills the hype to announce a character weeks before they become available. I was playing a lot more before we started getting these teasers that told me way early who we were getting next. It was good to have a schedule we could depend upon. With no guarantee when a new hero is coming, it’s gonna drive some people away.

Totally for new costumes though.

Love this idea honestly. This story concept with the city is basically the whole reason I play. Would 100% be there for more of that.

@TheGrillFather

As we explore new avenues of engagement in 2024, we are excited to announce that we will be testing out a new Content Creator Program! Calling all streamers, YouTubers, and other content creators, keep an eye out for more info regarding how you can be a part of this exciting new adventure.

I’ve been making a fan game for thecpast 3 years. And I post here constantly. Does that count?

Overall I still have faith in this game. 2023 has been the best year in a while for DHBM and no matter what happens I’ll be there in 2024.

Server merge. I think you said no January merge, but now it’s before May. So Feb-April merge. S21 is going to get trampled. 1 year of double cap raises then merging with a server that has 10-50x the resources and 2-5x the items in micro transactions. Please give us something to catch up… even just the same micro transaction deals, which didn’t even help catch us up. You said it yourself, the economies are different… but we’re still merging…

Balance changes are needed. Whoever was in charge when Negaduck came out messed up. Damage went from billions to trillions. Pegasus made it worse (ignoring Bowler and Sweetums). Rose made it much worse (stats in the trillions now). Kuzco and Dante continued and Eda is also broken; though she counters the meta now.

On top of those new heroes, refreshes made disks go into the trillions, too. Have 20B HP? wow, amazing! Next month, gives 2T HP? How did it go up by 100x! Broken. Probably 15-20 heroes gave individual or team stat buffs that are in the trillions when everyone else has max 10B (note: these are all S21 numbers).

[Incredible_Zoo_VI]

There would even be a drink containing 7.2 million XP, and a credit sold for a hundred million.

[Speedro]

I agree. Seems silly to merge a server that’s younger and has had much worse economy since the existence and not do anything to help even the playing field. Would love to hear their reasoning for continuing the inferior deals knowing we will be merging soon.

[Mister_Toon]

I feel like you and I are discussing two completely different things.

[GRrrizzly]

Merging servers, everyone is already ready for this, but increasing the period between heroes, then increasing between ranks releases a hero and a new rank then in parallel with him, new costumes plus something on I wonder what the suit influences…Add competitive activities, an arena, a Colosseum, that’s all, not enough…Do surge Cross the guild with the rewards they need, it’s time to update the rewards for the invasion, for places in the rankings, the code base, also add something like competitive content if you want to attract players, the game should take time, but if I didn’t log in, I clicked everything for 5-10 minutes, and forgot for a day, I came in a couple of times and took the enku and that’s it, this is my opinion, but it’s up to you…

[GRrrizzly]

P.S. I completely forgot, the prices for mercenaries and the prices for cleared districts do not correspond at all, this would also need to be corrected, I’m generally silent about the patrol, those coins won’t be enough for anything, the ranks are emerald level + everywhere, and the rewards are at the yellow level 0

[King_Yada]

Can you make leveling up heroes easier? Clicking on every one individually and raising lvl Then skills then friendship is very annoying and time consuming.

[PancakeCat]

You mentioned inspector gadget, I genuinely love you

[RexRowanMan182]

Ayyyyoooo, that is sus

[Guardian_Joy_IX]

I can’t wait, but can you add mirabel , luisa , issabela from the miracle family also known as encanto family

[The_Tiana_XXI]

Hey, since you used the Ratigan gif, does that mean another character who’s been on my wishlist for the past two years may be joining the fray soon?

[pasedmar]

So, you’ll force new players to pay for all new characters, is what you are trying to say

[Mich_II]

NOOOO my heart is absolutely broken. less and less heroes every time I thought we were going to get better and have more this yr but one every 8 weeks?? dissapointing tbh
