The Update 1.5 did not bring a lot of things that people have been waiting for. There is still a lot of basic functionality missing in this game, like:-Proper tools for clan management (e.g. inviting a player to a clan, what to do when a clan leader becomes inactive, separating clan chat from card donations etc.)-A way to communicate with players without having to resort to outside tools like Discord-A possibility to request a rematch from an opponent-An option to give up a battle (without having to close the app)So I'm wondering, what can we expect from Update 1.6? And is there an estimation when it could be ready?

I will forward your concerns to the devs regarding your concerns. But in the meantime, We have great new upgrades coming out. Update 1.6 will implement a plethora of new features. There will be new skins for scarabs and and your base as well. For those who like unicorns, for 600 diamonds, you can change your base to the all new My Little Pony skin. We will also add some new explojis as well. Are you tired of the knife? Now you can turn that knife into a lime green nerf gun. Don’t miss our unranked Nerf gun challenge where you’ll have a chance to win our new exploji. Also look out for our new emotes. They haven’t been really used in the past by the players hidden in the corners so they will now be implemented in the center of the screen.

The patch will contain only balance adjustments and bugfixes. Maybe some more emotes and a new unit. Because why implement new features if they don‘t make any money? (That‘s the reason why we don‘t have often requested features sadly... Of course some usefull things get implemented, like the cloning chamber, but if there is no profit to be made, a feature will most likely not be added... Remember the request to split alliance chat into regular messages and card requests? This has been requested literally since the beginning and we still don‘t have it...)

I fear that this may be precisely what is happening ☹️

Our concern is not what dev concerns. Basically the goals are different. We can only decide whether we're gonna continue to play.

For the sake of developers to earn money, we should help them so their task would not be money tight. I was thinking not on spending money for them but increasing the player base so at least 1% of all of us would fuel the money needed for the developers. I think the player base for Rivals is too small, we need players to stream their best wins and funniest defeats. I for one would do so if I have the skills and resources to stream my battles. Some of them are so stupid I could make my opponent laugh and roll of his chair! I was talking about either sending harvesters to try and launch the 1st nuke (and fail the 2nd and 3rd ones) or spamming the wrong units against their counters. Seen riflemen/militants march to their doom in front of a wolverine/widow-maker/chem buggy? I can't believe that those soldiers are obeying a commander who is so stupid that he thinks he can win by losing. Said commander would even show all his cards in his deck to his opponent, but there's a catch, 2 or 3 of the units are lies. If there is a cyber wheel, it might not even be in his deck.
