Pathetic... another great card turned into a useless one. If I knew they would remove the speed I wouldn’t have spent a lot of energy on the event. Back to square 1
I guess the compass speed would make people roam more instead of buying flares and hurt their $$$$. There’s no way a couple of players complaining about the speed would’ve changed their minds so easily
The cane was marvelous and NG ruined it! Some in my group paid money for it. Maybe instead they should have nerfed the amount of tokens needed. We’d at least be further to the cane being what it was the first week. Just a slap in the face. Have a conscience and fix what you messed up.
I’d like NG to advise if it’s still 30 kmph base that compass does cause the cane at lvl 4 is still 25%. So if the % didn’t change then what did?
math shouldn’t be hard. 25% of a number is a new number. If the new number is “too fast” yet the cane card visually still displays the same percentage; then what was modified?
i believe the base speed was modified

This whole cane card is ridiculous now. A giant waste of time. With some speed it was useful. Especially mid pandemic as we cant leave our houses as much. Now I wasted all that time and energy to work to upgrade it when it has now barely changed. Wont use it anymore. Should get rid of the card entirely if you cant use it to travel and return our energy and tokens used on it. I loved using it to find things to flare when at decent speed. One complainer and you take it down?The game still would be getting a boost of money from it. Which sadly is all the developers seem to care about. VERY disappointed. Yet another bomb that will push more players away. They need to start caring what the players want or they wont have any anymore. Hoping they reconsider. Without more speed I rarely if ever will bother with free roam.
Last night the cane worked fine today it is terrible - I literally was not able to go as far as I could before the cane - I am really disgusted. What a huge waste of my time- could you possibly for once do something that is actually helpful?
I’m so upset that they nerfed the speed of the cane perk. Please restore it to what it was and maybe add a don’t use at the beginning of free roam for those that said it was too fast. It seems like it was pointless doing all those freaking bases now.
i am very disgusted that the Cane perk was buffered. I played hard to get every upgrade for it and now its like i never got it. The most useless perk now. Change it back
I agree with everything everyone above me has already said, you pulled a bait and switch and its not on! I am disgusted with NG right now! My team and the community as a whole, spent time, money, energy, first aid kits, grenades, gold & cold hard cash to get this amazing and fun perk and then you ripped it away. Oh no, our players are having fun, can't possibly have that!!!!
The cane i̶s̶ 𝑤𝑎𝑠 literally the best thing you ever brought to the game!! I was using compasses more than ever before - until you killed it that is! My wheelchair is faster than the now useless cane!!!! And being a wheelchair user who cant get out much, this was invaluable to me and the disabled zombie killing community!!!
Very very very disappointed and unhappy with NG right now, I thought you finally got us! I should of known better!!
This nerf is a disgrace and a big kick in the a$$ to all OW players. I’m a top player, with zero card upgrades, maxed out cards and maxed out coins. I get nothing from missions unless I get lucky with an epic or legendary drop. This nerf has now given me reason to longer give NG my time or my money. I have no reason to play this game anymore.
The changes made to the speed are beyond awful. The card is absolutely useless. I could go further before I got the Cane, Complete bait and switch. Appallingly dishonest. What a waste of time and resources.
The changes made to the cane are a huge disappointment! It’s basically useless now. Can’t see any difference from just having the compass. Fix the cane! Super disgusted with NG right now!
Always tried staying out of the bs ng throws our way but this takes the cake by far. Was losing interest after 2 years of playing the cane brought excitement back to game for me. This has me and our team super ill. #makecaneusefulagain
Wait, what? All the time and effort we spent to get this perk and you slow down the speed????? If its too fast for you peops, stop and look around! NG please...
@NG_Filipe the silence coming from you folks is DEAFNING. More responses in 12 hours than almost a week of all the other topics. Ng games has seriously got to be the first company I’ve every seen that tries to get its players to quit with these SERIOUSLY underinformed decisions.
I wish to have all the money I have spent during the Ezekiel cane event refunded to my account. I feel that you company has intentionally misled me as to the usefulness of this item by changing it with no prior notice after players such as myself had spent a great deal of money on energy and flares to assist themselves and the rest of their teams the opportunity to earn the cane. If my account is not refunded I’ll be filing an official complaint with Apple and encouraging not only my team and alliance mates to do the same but anyone else I may have contact with in public chat channels. I AM FED UP WITH THE HORRIBLE DECISIONS THAT YOUR COMPANY CONTINUES TO MAKE.
"Releasing a card and making people to use resources and gold to get and then nerfing it and making it complete useless"
"I’ve never seen a game where the developers seem to be trying to get their customers to leave."
"My team is fully capable of finishing 25 tiers, but they make it so it’s not even fun to try."
Mom talking about her 13 year old son: "He was mad and said he worked hard for it killing raiders and using med kits. That Filipe needs hear about this and fix it.He killed enough raiders for it.....and he hunted for them. He is not on a flare team. So he earned it."
"The Ol bait and switch. Fantastic way to do business"
"Turtle Cane is awesome"
"Hey look at the bright side, they didn’t ban all the players who used the turbocharged cane! yet"
"Why does he say 36km was correct speed a few days ago. Now ng is like nah it’s too fast. And they tested this thing before release remember"
"the more reason why im glad i dont spend money on this game anymore."
"we are sorry you enjoyed a new perk and will revert to our commitment to make the game less fun"
"So ng fixed this Monday morning first thing like 8am or what? I ask because if so they must of known they were doing this Friday and started making the changes. So why no announcement about the upcoming nerf so people knew not to spend money all weekend on a card they were going to nerf after the weekend"
"Honestly why didn’t they use 1 compass on each level before releasing the card. They would have spotted the fast speed before releasing. But no they invested in making an ad video"
"They said it was right at 36km per hour"
"And this is why we shouldn’t be posting and writing in their forums providing feedback on the game so they can fix them."
"They should remake the video. It would be hours long now we’re just going to head over to London. This will take 3 days and watch the screen barely move"
"The base speed was reduced = bait and switch"
"They have to remove the video the speeds don’t match at all anymore. Just look at it omg"
"Last night I was looking for spiked rescues. So fast. No complaint. Just ran compass. Literally as fast as it was before the card was invented. Disgusting NG"
"It shouldn’t be a legendary anymore. Needs to be common now. The speed justified it being legendary but now it should be a common"
"Ok wtf is this. Im gonna ask my tokens back. I dont want that shit anymore really"
Thanks for the 2 people who complained now the perk is useless. I think they realized they made it to fast and people enjoyed it so they were looking for any excuse to slow it down....Thanks Devs
I don't really think any of NG officials here could care less, of what we actually try to resolve here, as long we the player base remain cash cows, they could milk us for every last penny. As mentioned before, some say it's bait and switch, I say it's change of set game rules during halftime and also one big fat scam. Yes you heard me, it's a money scam, plain and simple, first game devs announce new perk, the so called CockCane™ with all it's shiny new functions and glory, then it's released, everyone tries to get some, because hey, it's quite good and helpful. Yeaaah and then comes the NG telling us "Sorry folks, there has been a mistake and we have to nerf it". So you know what NG ? We can nerf something too. What about this games review on playstore ? Surely enough players will be more than happy to write some salty words in your "favour". And speaking of saltiness, we could also take legal action, and fight for our consumer rights. I'm pretty sure this little Cane scam of yours falls right into the category. So well done NG ... Alienating and lying like a little bitch for far too long. Time to spank you like a brat you are.
This is such a terrible move NG, we've lost day 1 players this season because of the steep ramp up in difficulty while we're still in lockdown. You bring in an awesome perk; the team is buzzing, flaring, buying energy etc. and everyone is feeling positive about the game again. Then you do this?!? I can't understand how this makes any sense for your business, never mind the paying player base who are feeling utterly cheated at the moment. Please do something to make this right.
