STORYBOOK: Starwalker - 2018 Aug 14 (POLL ADDED)

[Alessandra_18]

Hi! I have a problem with this storybook. I play with two friends, we just completed this storybook but two of us instead of a Cygnus got a kind of horse with wings. The name and description are the same, but the image is different. Can anyone explain me why? Thank you

The issue lies with s8 not giving the breed combo, not those of us that guessed because we started an event essentially blind...

Breeding combo information should be included by default in every animal description. That way there is no confusion - when the animal is available in the store, you have the info right there to know how to breed it. Every animal should have listed either "Breed X Element and X Element" or "Not Available Through Breeding" - and this information should be regularly updated whenever animals are brought back.

The fact that Storm8 does not do this implies either that their quality control is lacking or that they are intentionally withholding information from players in order to promote gem sales - or both. Either way, it reflects poorly on the company.

Also, animal rarity levels should actually mean something, and that information should be available somewhere - in the game FAQ, or SOMEWHERE. For example, "Common: Odds for breeding animal are approximately 1/x. Rare: Odds for breeding animal are approximately 1/xx." Etc. But again, by withholding this information, the game makers can manipulate the odds behind the scenes without accountability, making the chances of breeding a common much lower during the event for which it's needed, and returning them to their regular setting when the event is over - or not if they forget, because we really have no way of knowing, and it seems like they forget a lot of things.

I agree completely. Common animals should not become extremely hard to breed at anytime. The odds should stay the same. The fact that they are difficult when they are needed during an event means that it's just another way for S8 to get us to buy and use gems. When Blazelisk was first introduced in the shop all any of us saw was space and fire. I got blazelisk by breeding plutopus and pyro. When I bred it there weren't any threads in the forum covering SB or blazelisk and all my info came from what I saw in the shop. I have no idea what is meant by an "improper hint text" is but if anyone is at fault for this mess up it's S8.

Cygnus is a swan, but temporarily had the incorrect art. If they had already cached the image, they'll need to reinstall to download the updated art.

I totally agree. It's interesting that you mention quality control as I just made a post where I used the terms "quality assurance" and "quality improvement."

I have time for 1 more battle to try to win level 30. Been on it over 24 hours. If I don't complete story book, I will stop playing soon. It's the only event that I can win in. So disappointed.

Please, S8, stop linking tournaments to the Storybooks. I don't want to be forced to do a tournament to complete a Storybook. Thank you.
