Calling all Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire Players!! 

Another  BOYCOTT / STRIKE / REVOLT is HERE!!!

As you are aware, many players from across the world started a Boycott / Strike / Revolt on Feb 2nd, 2019 to protest the frequent releases of new features by Machine Zone aka MZ. Some players are still Boycotting / Striking / Revolting while many have crossed the picket line and gave into MZ's new release in fear of being zeroed by others or to take advantage of people that are Boycotting / Striking / Revolting. Band Wagon tipped over on Feb 12th, 2019 when the new Citadel levels were released.

INSTEAD OF WORKING on the items that players have requested, MZ decided to speed up the releases of new features (Before and after they hosted 
at the Game Developer Conference). They now have an agenda to prove to the rest of the Game Developing companies that the faster they release, the more people will buy! WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE GAME? THE MORE YOU RELEASE, THE MORE PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT IS BROKEN. Also, March 31st, 2019 is the end of quarter = need to show more profits to investors so why not release more.

The things that needs fixing are moved to the bottom since this blogger wants to emphasized on the new features that have been released in a very short amount of time.

WE, the players of Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire demands the following immediate changes for our continued game play:

1 – RELEASE OF NEW FEATURES AND DEVALUATION OF THE NEW FEATURES WITHIN SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME
a)       Releases of NEW FEATURES should be less frequent (no more than ONCE per week) so that most players can catch up (not all players can afford to buy packs every days)
b)      DEVALUATION of Features – Two weeks ago, it cost upward of $ 5000 to obtain Primal Grandmaser Gears but now, it cost only less than $ 400

2 – SYSTEM / FUNTIONALITY IMPROVEMENTS
a)       Resolve lag issues on servers, particularly in neutral realms and game crashing on the hour every hour due to event refresh
b)      Off button for all notifications
c)       Eliminate inactive empires that have had no activity after six months

3 – GAME PLAY IMPROVEMENTS
a)       Conversion method to NEXT Tier RSS / Blue Prints / Research Scrolls / Hero Medals (Example: Gold to Platinum, Platinum to Diamonds)
b)      Increased quantities of resources per trade march
c)      Bring back Building Que On Idle screen: currently show Research, Training, Trap
d)      Ability to reinforce garrison with multiple marches
e)      March presets that include traps
f)        Fix March Preset to include numbers of commanders instead of % of commanders
g)      Taking out the random luck in Mythical Monster and Chest (destiny, etc) drops. This RNG is deeply flawed and needs to be taken out all together or the drops need to be fixed at a consistent rate
h)       “Choose Your Own” hero unlocks that include new releases within 48 hours
i)         Update daily gifts, bank investments, VIP / HERO / GUILD events to be more relevant as most active players are above Citadel 50s.
j)         NO CUT AND PASTE responses from Support team. They are not reading our concerns nor responding to our specific question. (Work in progress, many reps are still doing it as we can see their cut and paste responses)

4 – EVENT IMPROVEMENTS
a)       Event schedules should allow players from the whole world instead of U.S. Players only due to time
b)      Titles from loosing realm after the merger war needs to be eliminated
c)       Attainable events that are tiered by citadel level and appropriate capabilities.
d)      REVERT BACK to old RvR Point System as new one have cap on what you can earn


Signed by the following realms united across all servers (more are being added as the Boycott continues)
4, 35, 75, 101, 253, 259, 291, 293, 305, 323, 347, 359, 363, 465, 501, 505, 513, 543, 559, 569, 575, 669, 709, 741, 743, 857, 871, 875, 879, 909, 937, 959, 979, 1107, 1013, 1025, 1049, 1099, 1127, 1185, 1201, 1217, 1309, 1321, 1363, 1379, 1381, 1413, 1447, 1489, 1535, 1541, 1609, 1761, 1769, 1777, 1801, 1839, 1939, 1967, 2007, 2025, 2329, 3123, 3207

    Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire - New Features and Updates (Updated as new Features are released)

    Image
    Updated As of September 4th, 2019 GOW (Game of War) 3.0 in the making (Game of War, then Mobile Strike, and now FFXVANE) NEW CHAPTER IN FFXVANE: The DARK WORLD!   THE GAME HAVE BEEN RESET TO THE BEGINNING   with NEW TROOPS, DARK GEARS, DARK CORES, DARK ORDER OF HEROES, ETC... By releasing or switching everything to The Dark World, all money spent and progresses players made prior to the Dark World release are completely 100% OBSOLETE / NULL / NO LONGER IN PLAY / KAPUT / DEVALUED.  Remember that MZ reset the game with the release of the Dark World to keep stats in check (according to Support and in Game Blog), but with each new releases, stats are HUGE and getting higher and higher compare to pre Dark World. Example:  200m Dark Elemental March Size  (pre dark world was 30m) 600m Dark Elemental Rally Capacity (pre dark world was 40 m) 25m% Dark Elemental Attack 27m% Dark Elemental Armor  9m% Dark Elemental HP Running Joke: MZ Employees who are in charge of these st

    Sentiments of the Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire players

    Image
    Many Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire players noticed that very recently, the application have been receiving many positive reviews (mostly 5 stars WITH very few words such as Nice, Fun, Great game, etc...) while many 1 or 2 stars reviews are ACTUALLY written in more than few words on Google Play, Amazon, or on Apple app Store. There is no hard proof that either MZ or any other parties are involved in a scheme to get more 5 stars for the Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire app (or other MZ games such as Game of War Fire Age (GOW), Mobile Strike (MS), World War Rising (WWR)) on Google Play, Amazon, or Apple app Store but after reading  this article and this article , this writer started to wonder why the apps have high stars rating while many people are upset with MZ. This writer has written many reviews on Yelp, Amazon, Google Play, Apple app store, etc... but never written a review with very few words such as "Nice", "Fun", "Great game",  "

    Is it really Oops or is it a way to tap into the Fear of Loss / Fear of Missing Out pack pushing?

    Image
    It has been a state of mind since the first human started to roam the Earth. It is a part of our genealogy and it is in our DNA. No matter what we do, once we realize that we are about to lose something or someone, an emotion (subconscious desperation or primal instinct) comes into our mind asking us to act and ACT FAST. It is known as Fear of Loss (one of our Primal Instincts - Fear of loosing the next meal may have played a factor in all of us acquiring it regardless of how many generations have passed). It could even be Fear of Missing Out aka FOMO. Here is what I found on Wikipedia. They even have it's own section about how Video game makers utilizes the FOMO.  In video games [ edit ] The video game industry utilizes FOMO to get consumers/players to engage in the medium. Video game publishers will create release windows with early access for those that pay for their subscription service. An example is the publisher Electronic Arts. On their main website they have

    Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire - A Dark dreaded hour at the Dark day in the new Dark World!

    Image
    If you ask any active players (Define as players who log into an account at least once a day) of Game of War (GOW), Mobile Strike (MS), World War Rising (WWR) and Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire (FFXVANE), and soon to be release Crystalborne: Heroes of Fate) what a dreaded hour is, they will say it is 5 PM PST / PDT daily. Why do players of these games developed by Machine Zone aka MZ (MZ (re branded to MZ on April 4 th , 2016 after GOW and MS players started referring to them as MZ in game) dread this particular time? Because it is the time that MZ releases their new features, in game updates, and events. This is the general sentiment among current MZ games; their Dreaded Hour. Why so? This is time that every active players in all MZ games hate due to the fact that with a new feature release, you account could be completely destroy by a player who can afford to spend the money and on time to keep up with MZ’s New features.   The dreaded hour on April 20 th , 2019 tur

    Do FFXVANEHUB.com employees work for MZ or it's just as simple as a Russian Collusion?

    Update: October 18th, 2019 - Gamerspeaks.io is back online and people can see the actual website. It was off line for about 4 months due to this blog.  https://www.gamerspeak.io/solution/ There have been speculations and misconception that the people posting for www.ffxvanehub.com  are working for MZ aka Machine Zone (the game developer of the Game of War: Fire Age (GOW), Mobile Strike (MS), World War Rising (WWR), Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire (FFXVANE) and the soon to be released Crystalborne: Heroes of Fate) as a paid vendor = making them In Direct employees of MZ.  This writer can not say whether or not, the employees of the www.ffxvanehub.com or it’s parent company, www.gamerspeak.io (Original name: App Scrolls Inc – according to CaliforniaSecretary of State Filing and DBA (Doing Business As Filing from San Luis Obispo County of Gamerspeak.io ), are under NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with the games developers such as MZ.

    "Machine Zone: Operating Free-To-Play with RAPID Release Cycles" Presentation at GDC 2019

    Image
    Some people are wondering why this writer is writing this article / blog about “ Machine Zone: Operating Free-To-Play with RAPID Release Cycles ”. This writer is writing this article / blog (my speculation of what had occurred) for several reasons: To shed light to the fact that MZ is teaching other game developers to follow suit (They want to be the “Industrial Leader”) Recent releases of new features at an astonishing rates (To show the attendees of their conference why some players of the MZ games are dumb enough to spend daily) What is about to happen = More new feature releases to show the attendees that what they say works Due to their Quarter End (March 31 st , 2019) Setting themselves up for possible IPO in the near future (Hired an IPO specialist as CFO with possible IPO in October, 2019 (Speculation)) Why the Boycott / Strike / Revolt is a NECESSARY EVIL to combat against a PREDATORY game developer

    How close will MZ's soon to be released Crystalborne: Heroes of Fate (CBHOF) follow other MZ games?

    Image
    This writer informed the readers of this blog few weeks back that MZ is about to launch another game, Crystalborne: Heroes of Fate (CBHOF) very soon (after all trademarks are finalized around August 5th, 2019;  however, it could be sooner since MZ released the APK file (around May 18th, 2019 in Vietnam and Russia for "testing" and "reviews"). This writer is speculating that due to MZ's greed, how they want to go IPO (Initial Public Offering aka starts trading on NASDAQ), and their laziness (make one game, copy everything with a few minor GUI changes) , the soon to be released Crystalborne: Heroes of Fate (CBHOF) should follow what MZ did with Mobile Strike, World War Rising, and Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire; copy everything with a few minor GUI changes. However, according to YouTube, the description of the game is completely different from Game of War (GOW), Mobile Strike (MS), World War Rising (WWR), Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire

    Clone Games – How Close is Too Close?

    Image
       One way to pad someone's new game can be by introducing clone features or characters, such as in the case of fighting games where the developers simply get an artist to recolor a few models and perhaps a voice artist to make some new sounds. They can then use this new clone character as a roster filler – depending on the quality of the game, this clone may have altered stats, maybe faster or stronger in some places, and slower or weaker in others, but fundamentally this clone is the same as the original when examined in a critical manner.     So what about if we, instead of cloning a character, cloned a whole game? Publishers who release sequels to their games build upon the base that was made, but what if a publisher took an earlier revision of their game (the coding and programming files), and released that again with new graphics? They already had plans for where the game would go, and could re-use events and features directly from their other games, with minimal i

    Bait and Switch plus illegal removal of paid contents by Machine Zone (Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire)

    Image
    Going into the right direction but still not enough since they are not offering the same to the other players that were affected.  Mar 12, 17:53 PDT Hello, Thank you for your patience and getting back with us to share your concerns about the recent Astral Pack and free pack that we sent out. Keeping the game as balanced as possible is incredibly important for both players and us as well, so believe me when I say this wasn't a decision we made lightly. Ultimately in order to preserve the game, prevent the battlefield from becoming very one sided, and make sure that you would still have players out there you could battle, we did need to remove the extra Sigils that were never intended to be in the game. While we cannot return all of the Sigils, we truly care about your experience, and would like to offer you a pack of your choosing that we will send to you, free of charge. If this is a pack you have already purchased, please provide us with a timestamp or screen
