NG why did you delete the Ezekiel’s Cane Card from my account?

Pain Walker · September 2020

Hey guys

I am sure those of you who got the Cane and have played around with it have seen what it can do!

I made this video below to compare the speed of it:

https://youtu.be/k9z9tWkj3PU

Now they nerfed it because apparently it was too fast and people were complaining... The one card I was so happy to come and happy to unlock and use now got MASSIVE Nerf

Use a Compass with the Cane and watch the video above without the Cane part and see if you spot a difference

Make sure to give feedback on this nerf by replying below!

Yes...I feel like there was a bait and switch here. Very disappointed that I wasted time and money on this.

DirtyBridget · September 2020

Please fix the cane! It was doing its job just fine. To slow.down hit the pause button and look around you. Very disappointed with this nerf. You could nerf the amount of energy required on the higher tiers first. 😡

Leanniejo · September 2020

Agree 💯 it’s useless now. We have no missions in our rural area and have to compass to get to missions. Using half or more of a compass to get to missions sucked. The high speed cane was great for getting to missions and searching them out. I could understand toning it back a little by 20% but not making it worse than before 🤦‍♀️

TLH · September 2020

@NG_Filipe you closed the other thread. My leg weapons are broke, they don't do the damage a LEGENDARY weapon should, can you fix it as fast as y'all "fixed" the cane??? You've seriously got to be kidding me, why I'm bleeding top players.

WickedWitch · September 2020

Doesn’t seem like it does anything now. Makes playing all those bases to get it a waste of time and resources.

It’s moves like this that’s going to make putting the game down at the end of the season a whole lot easier.

fumpi · September 2020

Well... you made the best Card in the Game now useless.

As I mentioned before: develop a toggle so everyone can chose their speed.

And: make the cane great again! (I want the superspeed rabbit back!)

vicsark · September 2020

NG really should reconsider the cane nerf.

It made players buy compasses to roam around safely and flare good spots for their team.

More spending, faster, safer than roaming around in a car or mass cough cough transit.
good for the players and good for NG’s bottom line.
And you can’t tell us now that the game can’t handle the higher speed

Rimante · September 2020

I just upgraded my cane to level 4 and it's going like a snail. So slow! Please give us back our speed!!!!

CaitlynGrace8 · September 2020

Totally agree with _Jo_
This is the definition of a bait and switch!
Are you going to refund all the energy we spent on bases to get and then level up the cane?!

Neets · September 2020

Totally agree on this! You need to refund us all our energy, med kits and gold that was spent on this useless scooter

Анунах · September 2020

Useless card now. And not worth to buy compasses again.

Gerard1974 · September 2020

Ridicilouis indeed spended a lot of resources to get it on level 4 and it indeed makes no difference with the standard roaming at all. I 3anr all my resources back and NG can take nu Cane back as well.

phillie621 · September 2020

Was fun now nerfed? Not cool NG

BobE1985 · September 2020

Completely agree with everyone here it’s useless now, just because someone couldnt be bothered to to flick a switch to stop roaming you slow it down for everyone, you need to reverse this! Like buying a Ferrari at the showroom and you delivering a push bike!

whatevermom · September 2020

NG has once again given us something, only to take it away. They’ve been pulling the bait and switch on us from the beginning. It’s what they do. They back paddle. They make excuses. It’s just business as usual, never mind our world has been upside down since January. I loved the Cane perk. Of course they nerfed it. It’s what they do. I expect nothing less (more?) from them.

rotagillA · September 2020

I agree, give me back my speed!

joeyyahmove · September 2020

So @NG_Filipe you said this was an error by NG got that. You also said the speed would be to fast if upgraded. But looking at what the players want we would like the speed reverted back. Now so that those 3 people don’t complain you should add a speed range. So if you have the cane at level 4 when compass is activated you can choose to activate the cane. If you do you can choose the speed between level one to four (or whatever max level your cane is at). I think this would solve everyone’s problem.

DLich · September 2020

I’d complain here if I thought it would actually do anything. It’s 2020... did we really think that NG was creating things to benefit the game that doesn’t also involve benefiting their pockets?

NG giveth (cane) and NG taketh away (lowering base value)

Jaxx4694 · September 2020

This is a complete bait and switch. I am ashamed of Ng making this move. We have wasted time, effort and resources to this the cane perk card, and now it is basically useless.

It makes the compass less desirable as well.

I think by nerfing this feature, you have made a very stupid move.

Have you ever though this feature allowed people with serious medical conditions or disabilities to be mobile regardless of our quarantine status ?

I have played with some who if it wasn’t for this feature would not be able to flare and contribute as much to the team.

This was an epic change to the game, and you screwed it up!

I am highly disappointed in your lack of knowledge to think decisions through before acting on them.

But what should I expect? The only thing I can rely on NG doing, is to making incongruous and incoherent changes.

Fah_Q · September 2020

This is absolutely ridiculous. My cane is at level 3 and it is now slower than it was BEFORE the cane. What was the point in spending all that energy, all those flares hunting bases when we got our reward taken away?? This is a bad move. BAD. MOVE.

Miggz · September 2020

I will requesting that everything that I have spent during this event be refunded to me and if it is not I’ll be filling an official complaint with apple. This SCREAMS predatory business practices where you offer a product only to switch it to a completely different product. I’m truly sorry that you can’t test your items to foresee there might have been an issue with it providing a boost that was faster than intended but I’m sorry that is not my nor any of your other customers fault. As someone stated above, I find it fascinating to find out that you can “fix” the cane overnight but the issues plaguing the game in other areas that have been asked about been told it’s coming, are STILL nowhere to be seen. This is RIDICULOUS and needs to “unfixed” immediately.

Georgia004 · September 2020

Well guess people got their wish...... back to so slow not worth wasting the cards to upgrade!!!! Way to ruin a great card. You are making the events really not worth playing. Do something with the encounters if you want to mess something up they are useless in the game and only played if forced too by putting them on the boards.

stanbec · September 2020

I have not griped about anything in ages, just shrugging of any issues and been positive while dramatically reducing spending... THIS however is CRAP! You claim that you did this to "fix" things that people complained about.... this claim is less than truthful. If this was the real interest, you could have simply added a feature to slow it down if someone wished, or you could have dropped the speed by a little rather than slowing it to the speed you did. I have no doubt your primary interest was reducing the effectiveness of it, and secondly having everyone continue to spend on trying to get more cards. I really don't understand why this company has such a habit of being dishonest about its motivations. If your claim is you did it based on complaints, you clearly can see now that there are plenty of complaints about your so-called fix. If you want to claim any sincerity in your statements, adjust it back or at least significantly closer to where it was. I get that you claim you made a mistake which you corrected, but people spent time and money based on what you provided and now they have every right to be annoyed

BostonLvr · September 2020

Well since they 'fixed' it it's absolutely useless. Mine is lvl 2 (with 8,000+ tokens yet to spend) and I see no difference from before the cane was introduced.
All those raiders and all that time spent for a useless card.
Why would I spend anything to upgrade it....
There has to be a happy medium.

Nazza · September 2020

It’s interesting what feedback ng listen to. I think I saw 1 comment on the speed of the compass on here but lots more on the rate of the compass drops in crates so they dropped the speed.

Ashyslashy · September 2020

This is a joke, all week fighting for a card that now doesn’t work at all? Really? This needs to be fixed

Relentless · September 2020

The free roam speed with Ezekiel’s cane seems to be non existent after you made your changes. It is no faster than it was without the cane, plus I upgraded mine. There should be a middle ground. If this is the speed it was intended, I would rather the cane perk didn’t exist. The only thing adding new legendary cards to the game does for high level players is make it more difficult to complete challenges with legendary cards. My epic and legendary cards are pretty much useless, and mine are upgraded as much as I can. Please increase the speed to make the perk worth having?

Colts · September 2020

I really don't think I've ever been so disappointed with any change to this game. That cane was such a huge quality of life improvement to the game. Not just because we're still locked in because of covid, but because it allowed us to reach and explore places around us we would never be able to get to in real life. And to do it QUICKLY so I can spend time playing the game instead of staring at the screen waiting to get to my hotspot 4 compasses (aka 25 f'n minutes now) away.

kbranum44 · September 2020

Come on NG! Really? It takes you MONTHS to “fix” things and within a few days you manage to fix this while stealing this perk from your player base? Your quickest “fix” yet because it benefited you. This is false advertising and I expect a full refund for busting my tail to do bases (that weren’t required for the tier) only for you to steal my time and money! I intend on contacting Apple as this is just not right! Of all the things you’ve done in the past this tops it all. I’m so angry I’m spitting nails right now. WOW! Just wow!

Nejipoo · September 2020

I agree, the nerf is too much. I feel like my hard work and money were definitely wasted. It seems like the “upgraded cane” is slower than it was before the upgrades 😫. Extremely disappointed in the “fix”, but ABSOLUTELY AMAZED by how quickly they can get the “fix” done compared to other “fixes” that we’ve been waiting for forever now lol.

Welcome.
