Hello, my name is Riceballa. I am a G3 player, part of the infamous Tiger guild in the Korea server.

I have been entrusted to inform this community to raise support in hopes to improve this game as a whole.

As of roughly 2 hours preceding this post, the four guilds currently participating in the Siege tournament, 으르렁(Tiger) 오후(Afternooon) TroubleMaker MVP, have officially declared a boycott in the main SW Naver Cafe

I'm sure some of you guys recognize these guilds and deservedly so, as they represent some of the strongest and most influential players in the server. As such, this is not a move that we take lightly.

But we cannot tolerate this type of treatment from Com2us anymore.

To paraphrase the KR sentiment,

We are sick and tired of RTA being the only content Com2us gives a shit about.

The 3rd Siege Tournament was scheduled Feb 22nd ~ March 6th.

Com2us released Fire Onimusha on Feb 26th and posted the hotfix nerf notice on March 3rd.

To release such a broken monster, one that is so obviously going to be plastered all over siege defenses, without extensive testing during this time frame is so careless and just straight stupid. Why do we have to be the testing guinea pigs time and time again?

How many players summoned a bunch just to get the monster? How many players summoned even more to skill it up or godforbid use devilmons on them? How many other monsters and resources did players use to prepare against Fire Oni defenses that will most assuredly be spammed during the tourney?

As guild leaders, can you tell your guildies to build and skill them up just for the tournament knowing they will be nerfed?

Not to mention the top guilds already get shafted in terms of rewards for not participating in siege matches for a week.

The issue isn't that Fire Oni is OP. It most definitely is.

And as you all were, we were certain that there will be a nerf. If anything, it would have been foolish to think otherwise.

HOWEVER, does that mean the top guilds/players won't use it? We were all trying to take advantage of this OP monster to gain whatever small edge we could gain for the biggest content in the game.

We knew the risk and we STILL invested in it. That's what you do when you're fighting for the best guild in server and Com2us intentionally releases a broken monster capable of shifting the meta.

Please understand that our frustrations stem from the constant ignorance and negligence by Com2us to non-RTA content and their irresponsible timing of these events, which almost seems planned at this point to bait spending.

I do realize that this is strictly a high level Siege matter and thus may not interest those who have not experienced G3 Siege or dislike siege in general, but I'm sure this isn't the case just in our server. Please be aware that the Siege Tournament impacts much more players than the same few we see at SWC each year.

We prepare months for this tournament. 20 total guilds, 500 players. This number is even greater when you account for other servers as well as other guilds who tried but couldn't enter the tournament.

We recognize this as major content for the game, if not the biggest, and the penultimate co op content. We just need Com2us to see that as well.

It seems pretty damn clear based on numerous previous actions that Com2us couldn't care less and therefore has neglected this for far too long.

On top of that, the dismal "compensation" as well as the hotfix notice with no specific date while the tourney is ongoing just feels like a slap in the face.

EDIT: Com2us has since let us know that Fire Oni will be patched 5PM on March 7th (KST) So I guess they expect us to skill them up and use them for the Tourney just to have them nerfed? There was no mention devilmons/skillups being refunded.

We still love Summoners War. Truly. But we will no longer condone this continued disregard for non RTA content.

The final four guilds of the 3rd Korea Siege tournament hereby officially declare a boycott

We shall place only Fire Onimushas in the siege bases and none of the guilds will use their attacks for this round as well as the final.

We are curious as to how the reactions are in the other servers as well as guilds currently participating in the tournament.

Please let us know in the comments.

If you have similar sentiments and are exhausted by the constant mistreatment by Com2us, please join and support us to make change for the better.

We just want to be heard.

Thank you all for your support.

EDIT 2: As of 6:35AM, March 4th (KST), "GM Irene" of the Korean Naver Cafe has posted this notice saying that they wish to meet with representatives from each of the 4 guilds.

Com2us usually interviews a rep from the tournament winning guild but instead they are inviting people from the 4 guilds in hopes to have meaningful discussion on the current status of Guild content.

If you have any specific points you would like to raise to the devs, please comment below and I will try my best to pass it on.

EDIT 3: The meeting has been set to Saturday March 6th, 10:30AM (KST). There will be a face to face between Com2us reps and a member from each of the guilds.

EDIT 4: Slightly unrelated but still on the topic of Com2us' bad game managing, they accidentally released Reapp stone packs bit earlier than normal. Not a big deal right?

Except for the fact that there was a bug that allowed UNLIMITED purchases (like when reapps first released) for over TWO HOURS.

BIG YIKES

Com2us just posted this acknowledging their mistake and saying all the extra packages and resources have been taken away. Essentially a rollback. Even if you reapped a rune, they reverted it. English notice

Here is the chart in the post, translated. Goob job EU?

Will update further as I get info...
