All good things... (thanks devs)

[matavious]

...come to an end.

So it looks like ACR is on its way out. While's it frustrating as a player, I'm sure it's far worse from the developer's perspective. I hope the team is off working on new projects because you created a fantastic game. Some of my favorite aspects:

Real time: Using countdown timers and removing turns is a brilliant evolution of the card game to the digital space. This feature pretty much ruined me for all card games without it. It keeps me invested in the game for the whole game, not just on my turn.

Agent / Sites balance. The two avenues to victory via (mostly) immovable sites, and flexible, but vulnerable agents were fun to experiment with.

2 of 3 region control. This to me is so much more interesting than 'remove your opponent's health from 20' It makes for an interesting choice where to invest resources. Love it.

Close, and come from behind games. Thanks for all the close games where it was 9 10 0 to 10 0 10. Winning or losing any game decided by the final seconds was a blast to play.

Discovery. Finding combos and discussing deck synergies with other members of this forum was a great fun. Finding that perfect card that completed a deck, or simply picking a card and building a deck around it were a fun puzzles. I loved seeing new posts pop up in the deck forum.

Theme. In a field filled with dragons, orcs, other monsters, ACR's theme and setting stand out. I've never played the console games, but the art is what drew me to the game. Came for the art, stayed for the gameplay and community.


Thanks for all the fun.



Chime in with other favorite memories of ACR.

Good points. I totally agree. It's sad it (appears to be) is coming to an end.

I'll keep playing it for fun for now. It is still great fun although it desperately needs some developer attention.

The real time aspect is perfect. I hope someone takes the idea and makes a game that gets the community support needed to make it huge.

The ACR gameplay system is what card games on mobile devices should be en the future. No waiting for the opponent. Just go.

These last few updates have really killed off a large following of this game. Ever since the expansion, things just have never been put right on the server side.

Well, I don't know where you got that info, and I'm not about to believe it yet... I really enjoy the game, and hope to enjoy it for a while to come... I do know an AC3 expansion was slated, so whether they'd really just drop the game while work had already begun on it.

But I do understand why you'd think so... I just hope it's not true.

My epic games where I could sneak in a impending pandemic just as an opponent reaches 10 and drops an ezio to kill my stuff, or a wrath to wipe my 3 agents... Those were PURE adrenaline

[lurifaxb]

Tu, just be sure. So we won't get another expansion for ac3?

It would be really nice to hear from ubisoft what their future for this game is? With no communication from them, it spells the inevitable doom of the game. Maybe slowly, but surely.

[Tuism]

Nononono, I wasn't giving any indication to that, in fact I was saying I've heard nothing about Recollection being canned, and I remember they were actually working on AC3 update for Recollection, so I'm pretty confident that they'll carry on with it.

But I am trying to get hold of the devs to see what's up. No answer yet.

[lurifaxb]

Thanks, Tu. appreciate your effort.

Guys, please don't go all gloomy now!

The fact that Hurdler has left the company doesn't (have to) mean anything. He just happened the most active Dev on this forum (even though it appears to be UbiSoft's policy not to get involved with unofficial forums like this). There are a million games out there where you never get any response from a dev like Hurdler.

So we've just been very, very lucky in the past, and will have to live with the uncertainty of mere mortals with regards to the future of this game.

If you want any official feedback you'll have to address UbiSoft through the official channel and that's the Recollection Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/ACreedRecollection).

I'm just hoping for the best!

Maybe Tu can get an interview with Marc again to put everybody's mind at ease...

[lurifaxb]

I agree, Rob. I've gotten some optimism back lately.

Just one point. It isn't just Hurdler leaving. It is the server issues, the competitive system not working etc. that coupled with no communication bodes ill tidings. ACR was (maybe still is) in one of its biggest crisis with the problems ongoing due to bad user experience due to the problems.

I'll stop carrying the surprised doomsday (see what I did there?) predictions. At least having debunked that the expansion was cancelled brings hope.

I played quite a few android and iOS games and the Angry Birds series was the only game I spent many hrs on before I started ACR. I loved the game with the most of the reasons matavious already mentioned above. I am surprised I committed so many hrs to the game and from 0 GC friend to 40 now all members of this forum. This is a really very special game I can't descibe in words how much fun I have with ACR before the expansion. Unfortunately, it is very obvious many online players left already and I find no reason to keep playing anymore

Hopefully, this is not going to be my last post and today isn't my last day of grinding.

[Tuism]

I don't think they'd just let the game die, I really really don't.

So I'm hoping that it'll just be another update/expansion away from getting more players

Evidence that the game's not dead We've just gotten exceptional treatment, and now we're back to "normality":

Looking forward to spend my dearly saved credits on the next AC 3 expansion for Recollection. Which - of course - will not be released before October 31st...
