Hey, welcome to the June Q&A!

In this series, we discuss both minor and major upcoming changes. We'll be answering your questions selected from the Discord server and the latest news. We encourage you to read along and share your feedback.

We are currently focusing on both minor and major changes to existing modules, with a primary concern of balancing the gameplay. During the development of FootballTeam, some modules were overlooked, and we are now renewing and improving them to align with the current gameplay conditions.

We carefully read all your comments, and many of the new features or improvements are based on your suggestions. These changes will be introduced in short intervals. Additionally, we are working on a major update and gradually preparing to introduce cards from the European server.

We categorize our work and changes into three categories: Planned, Implemented, and Rejected. Here is the current list of tasks. Please note that it is not arranged chronologically, so changes may be implemented out of order.

REJECTED IDEAS

We are rejecting the idea of adding item durability, in which items were supposed to lose their power during matches and be repaired using Golden Balls.

PlAYERS' QUESTIONS

🧐 “When will it be possible to put one card in two different decks?”

We will add this option soon.

🧐 “When will it be possible to use cards from slots in decks without removing them from slots?”

We will also introduce this option soon.

🧐 “Will it be possible to automatically sign up for team training for Credits? Or visit it for Credits after it is completed if you didn't have time? Everyone has different circumstances, but now it's possible that you won't complete 2 seasonal challenges because of this?”

Unfortunately, we are not planning such an option. Team Training is a module based solely on player activity. However, we will significantly increase the amount of training in Team Training and add Energy regeneration options to make the module even more valuable for players.   

🧐 "Why wait until the end of the club's training session to complete a daily/calendar challenge? There is a suggestion that participation in a training session counts from the moment you sign up for it."

We have added this to the list of changes and it will be implemented.

🧐 "The drop of legendary items from packs should be increased."

We know that legendary items are scarce on the market. Therefore, we are changing the number of Epic items needed for upgrading from 5 to 3 (during events, it will be from 3 to 2). We hope this will satisfy the item market and allow at least new one-time collections to be completed.

🧐 "Increasing the squad to 22 players + there should be 5 substitutions per game instead of 3."

We are not currently planning to increase the number of players at the club. Such a change would completely disrupt the management of health. We consider 20 players in clubs to be a sufficient number.  

🧐  "We propose to create an additional tab in the club - a kind of message board, where the board can leave messages for the club."

Such a tab will be created soon and added to the game.

🧐  "We propose the possibility of exchanging drinks for other drinks, exactly as in the case of parts of football gear: for example, 4 green items for 1 red one."

Currently, we have no plans to make such changes.  

🧐 "Finally, it would be more of a request from Latinos to move the server time 2 hours later, since in some cases we have Domestic Cup matches at 3 in the morning."

Thank you for this feedback. We can't change this configuration at this time, but we will certainly take it into consideration when we create future servers. 

🧐 "Can you introduce the possibility to surrender after 6 rounds in a card duel, at the moment when the player is convinced of their loss? In this case, the person who surrenders loses 250 points regardless of the difference in leagues, and the person who wins gets the normal amount of points according to the scoring system."

Thanks for this feedback. We need to consider whether such a solution will somehow disrupt the gameplay. If we decide to make this change, it will appear in the next Q&A on the to-do list.

🧐 "A proposal to introduce seasons for card duels with new and interesting mechanics, such as:

🔸Fast hands:  The gameplay of league duels is shortened to X seconds per turn

🔸Random ban:  At the beginning of the game, X cards (e.g., 1, 2, or 3) go to jail and cannot be used in a duel"

Interesting ideas. We will plan some additional gameplay options.

🧐"We propose that selling an enchanted card will give more fame points."

Thanks for this feedback. If you want to sell your cards for more Fame Points, we encourage you to follow the news. There is an option in some events that allows you to do so.

LEGACY SERVER

In the near future, we will work on the creation of the LEGACY server, which will be formed by combining the Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and Central Europe servers. The Legacy server will become our main server and will never be closed. We will merge other servers with it if necessary.

⚽ The time of the Legacy server will be set to GMT +2.

⚽ Support, news, and notifications for the server will be available in Polish, English, Spanish, Russian, and Portuguese.

⚽ The server will retain its standard settings.

We have planned the creation of the server into two phases: 

Stage I: July 24/25 - Merging the Western EU and Central EU servers into the LEGACY S2 server.

Stage II: The date is to be announced in a future Q&A, when the EU East server and LEGACY S2 will be merged into the LEGACY Server.

How to prepare for the merging of servers?

⚽If you have accounts on more than one server and they are set up with the same email, you need to change the emails so that the emails are different for each account. If you do not change your email, access to your account may be completely lost.

 ⚽Priority will be given to accounts from the Central Europe server. This means that if you have an account on the Central EU server and under the same email you have an account on the Western EU server, then without changing the email, you will lose access to the account from the Western EU server.

ADMINISTRATION QUESTIONS

Your feedback matters to us. Therefore, at the end of each Q&A, we will include at least one question for you. We ask for constructive answers. What you write has an impact on further product development.

Question 1:

 What recent change did you like the most?

Question 2: 

 Which of the changes announced at the beginning of the article would you like to see in FootballTeam the soonest?

Thank you for joining us for another Q&A. We look forward to your feedback and comments. We read and analyze all your ideas and opinions, and some have already made it to our to-do list. We are also waiting for your suggestions on what you think is missing from the Q&A.

We hope you like the current form of communication. We will strive to keep you conscientiously informed about plans and implementations.

See you in the next Q&A!
