Valiant Force Forum

I think the devs should consider hiring a good story writer for main story, side story and event story. Players will continue playing the game for different reasons. 1. Like the game play and design (character design and the process of building heroes and become stronger). 2. Have fun with game feature (event & raid etc). 3. Attracted to story line.

There are some who like or dislike some parts of the first 2 reasons. But i think its unarguable that VF lacks 3rd reason.

JeForceX used to suggest creating side story and I used to voice out about cheap story in that same thread.

I like many ideas here. Especially the side story, i would love to learn in-depth background of each hero. But also want story well written, not the cheap one like each event story.

I also notice some on the forum share their view that the story and character are lacking. It's never been imroved until now. The latest event story featuring Tristan is not engaging yet groundless and end in whatever way. Let me explain the reason why.

Tristan claimed that the duke kill people and is no different from demon so he purged the duke. Valiants claimed that the duke is a good person and Tristan shouldnt kill the duke without evidence. Valiant blindly rejected the part that the duke is evil. Darrion stayed behind try to reason Tristan at the end but to no avail. Doesn't the logic of no evidence supporting one's belief go back to Valiants as well? Valiants too have no proof to say Tristan's claim is not true. The intention to create the contradiction between judging ppl & taking action on ppl with evidence and killing evil people is the righteous without evidence fails because of the cheap dialogue.

Pls make more engaging story line. You can use event story as a fragment of story in the history of Arathos or the story that will link with main story or the story that leads to some consequence in the latter event. Anything that keep players hooked and want to continue playing to learn more about it, not just thrown away cheap stories that we have had in all events.

intresting i feel the same way, especially in our current event story, i usually don't care much about event story bcs it's too cliche, & children like story, but in our current event story, it's quite getting better for my tatste, but as Cassiel described, the dialog seems not investigative-is, & the arguments between two sides seems so baseless, so it make me feel once again like 2 children argue with their own point of view about  whose the candy belong to., bcs we as the watcher/reader of the story, doesn't have a clues what's going on actually before the event of the story began.

I do find this current event storyline to be more serious than usual. But too bad it lacked background; we know nothing of this Duke whom Tristan and the Valiants are talking about to understand whether he really deserves Tristan's killing his whole family. Also, why would Tristan stayed there after he did the mass murder? There is also no clue on where the story takes place aside from that it's inside the duke's manor.

I have yet to finish master mode yet, so I haven't seen how the story unfold, but from Cassiel's post I can kinda tell that Tristan got away just fine while still clinging on his extreme.

Why not creating something like the opening of the game (or when we first downloading the content after installing the game), where the premise of the story is being told in a old scroll-like interface.

Also, it will be nice if we can replay the story dialogue we have encountered from gallery.

I concur with all the viewpoints above. As mentioned in a recent post of mine, i share the same concerns:

Here are some of my suggestions on possible ways to infuse story elements in gameplay other than expected improvements in the general story delivery.

Mentioned in forum competition in the past, summer training camp with valiants - potential character development platform:

Mentioned in recent valiant revamp thread, special skill sets such as bonds( new set of skills n aura that overwrites existing when activated), dependent on units relationship. see link for elaboration:

The story is still weak and generic for now. (Seven Knights used to be like that too before they released their new story map)

I think for the starter, they need to add those events with main story inserted (like Dark Lord events, last month's event) to story map. So new player can follow the main storyline.

Also noticed during the story, there's a few instances where a character appear to be speaking but it's actually the narration instead.
A bit confusing to be honest.

They already got an interesting material, so i hope they can improve their storyline. Because for now, most people don't really care about the stories.

I personally think adding a drawing during several scenes may improve the story immersion.

I think the devs should consider hiring a good story writer for main story, side story and event story.

This has been one of my main thoughts the last few months playing this game. Seriously.

Up until now, we are nonstop working on new stories for everyone to enjoy through Event
But worry not, we will deliver this message to the Dev and push them to work on this asap  

*because I, personally cannot wait to know what happen next

And please, add some romance *coughs* Darrion *coughs* Lucille *coughs*. I will totally ship them. 

And since there are lots of sibling heroes in VF, I wonder if you can also provide events/sidequests which discovers the amazing bond between them (e.g. kane and winfry)
