Extended Edition Content Feedback

Thank you for the feedback!

The new updates were meant to bring more depth to the game, make it more complicated, force the player to think more about the strategies. Much of it revolves around the star-map, because that is where the possibilites lie. Now that we have just launched the game has been too unfair to the player, but it is updated now on Android. And will be next week on iOS. Try out the newest version, changes are mentioned in the next paragraph.

It is much about what the goal of the game is. We have a goal to make Harbinger deep. We want to give the player a feeling that if he dies, he can feel that there could have been something he could have done differently. And then he wants to try again because of that. We don't want it to be totally unfair and frustrating, so as @Draikan said we are still tweaking. The game has so many random elements, that these are really hard to balance and takes time. We are always listening to the feedback and we will make changes. (The newest update on Android is already tweaked difficulty wise, the "easy" difficulty now has more Battlestations in the galaxies, and "normal" has doubled starting money. "Hard" is still hard, it is meant for the players who have beaten it all before that. Some want even something more challenging than "hard")

The way Harbinger launched it was a game where you packed your ship with a projectile cannon and energy cannon, upgraded recharge rate and rolled through the game. That was an error that clearly escaped our grasp. The two starting cannons were never meant to be the most powerful turrets in the game, yet they were. Actually dps-wise, they were stronger than any turret in the game. Wow!

Yet despite of our errors, our players still loved the game. But looking at the feedback, the majority wanted more content. More depth. More to think about, because there wasn't that much of that in the original Harbinger.

This adds up to a very frustrating game. I CANNOT IMAGINE trying to play this game as a level 1 noob with Nightengale!!

Well you are absolutely right about this, that is why we made the changes in the newest update. Hopefully it is better now on easy and normal.

Hope this new version grows on you with time! We will keep tweaking and listening to you.
