Rumors or real changes coming?

[Update: These notices were real and now they are live.]

I wonder if I'm the only one who saw these two "new notices" because as soon as I saw them they disappeared. I saw one on my husband's iPhone and the second notice on my Android. I wish I screenshot them because they were dramatic changes...  There's no evidence that the game has changed yet, so maybe they accidentally pushed out new notices and then retracted them?

IPhone notice: (not iPhone specific, I just happened to read it there, and these are what I remember from memory of reading it once)
-Changed speed rangers mineral cost so that it does not increase as they level up
-adjusted balance of ranger stats (no specifics were given as to which rangers and what stats)
-increased max level of all rangers by 10. (Oh my stars!!!! This would be amazing.)
-Gold Brown will randomly appear in stages as a friendly ranger (did not say what Gold Brown does or what kind of ranger he is)

I was so excited that I grabbed my phone and wanted to see immediately if the changes were live. But when I started my game my Android got a different notice...

-We found out there were some glitches regarding the stats in the Area 10 treasure which have now been fixed.
-We've also revised Ranger attack speed to Ranger attack distance

So does that mean, as many people have found if they tried to really paid attention, that Skyscraper's Treasure (increase attack speed) in fact does nothing at the moment? And they plan to change it to attack range/distance?

Did anyone else see these notices go out or am I hallucinating deep into the night? I have a screen shot of the Android notice which I'll post if it has not gone live by tomorrow morning.
What do you guys think of these "changes"?

  3. Panic, these changes sound awesome! Let me share something in regards to the alleged increase in ranger level cap, a few days ago I heard a player who has a level 70KSM + 1 extra KSM sitting in his stockpile say that, he was refusing to use that KSM as cat food to level up an other ranger because he was hoping that Line will increase the level cap! And now it sounds like they are!! Luckily I was saving 2 extra macho moons as well!! I would be depressed if I didn't. .
    Don't toss the extra macho moons you picked up at the recent event people!!

    BTW: Thanks for sharing! I had my notifications switched off and didn't get the notice. Now I'm going to save some extra 3 star rangers I was going to use to level up some other rangers tomorrow. I hope these changes are 100% genuine.

    1. They retracted the notices super quickly but lots of people have managed to screenshot and share it worldwide already. Too late to back out! Also one fellow ranger friend showed me a neat picture of Gold Brown. He's already in the game files, just not activated. It sounds like this was in in the works all along. We are waiting for them to hit the switch!!!

      I am so glad I didn't eat my extra opera James, Macho moon, and cobe or I'd cry. Definitely don't gobble the extra Rangers just yet!

  5. now it's official for the 10 lv. increase.
    but the max upstat is still only 4 times, I think I'll still keep my extra Macho Moon
    this means premium users who are using 4 times upstat Lv.80 KSM, DKB, SC, HHB will wreak havoc even more

  6. luckily u dont need an extra ranger to max its limits...its limits +10 already...:D

    ReplyDelete
  7. Do you really need to combine 2 more rangers to increase max level?
    Because in my case, all my rangers' level got increased by 10 already when I open the game

  8. my lvl 55 KSM just got reduced to lvl 50.. after the notice is out.. Anybody got the same problem?

    ReplyDelete
  9. it's true, when i check my ksm, it is 70/80, it mean crazy ksm, but when i want to level him up, the gam says "upgrade maintenance" or something like that then force close....

  11. As of now, Line Rangers is under going maintenance. Let's all hope for the best. I've turned countless 5 star rangers into food for the other prioritized rangers.

  12. I did end up getting that notification, I initially thought the notification was one of those pop-up ones. That's what I have switched off (to many group chats:)

    Anyway, good news, we are going to get 40 rubies as compensation for their "emergency maintenance". I'm not sure if all regions will be getting the same amount. I wonder if this emergency maintenance is a result of Line trying to apply all these changes.

  13. I saw both notification on my Android, check the truth and its real. Some stats for ranger was changed for example increased atk+health for sol, lia and alice. I also check there are no changes in honey, ksm, frog brown, luke, charismatic jessica, masked moon, almost all 4 star ranger I saw do not have stat increase. Max level has gone up by 10 but I think you only allowed to pass the limit 4 times which is same as before. It real, I already lvl up my KSM to lvl 51/60.

    As I dont have the treasure on the skycrapper I cant confirm the changes in the features. But I get the golden brown. Its a golden statue of brown and its different than the other brown, its giant almost as big as alice. The attacks are not so strong but have big health. Approximately golden brown had about 1,5 mil health and 50K attack.

    I dont even know they are removed already :/

  14. Yeah, someone screen shot the golden brown in the line rangers group. They doing maintenance probably because some people's rangers decreased by ten levels instead of increasing ten levels. Well I can't wait until the maintenance is over. I want to see the new changes.

  15. I just passed stage 98 and the golden brown showed up. Its helped me alot become a tank with a speed faster than glen and stop at enemy tower. Seriously helpful.

    Btw enjoy the 40 rubies

    1. I've thought about it before but sites elsewhere already contain this info. The amount of work required to gather all that data is more time investment than I can give. I would rather dedicate more time to writing new and interesting things than static info which other people have presented better already. Most people can understand pictures and numbers on a non-English site anyway. I think it would be more beneficial to post info that the English speaking fan base cannot otherwise access.
