September 4th 2018 Update Discussion

[Leviathan]

This is the main post to discuss general changes from the recent update.

You can see the details of the update that has just gone live in the Game Updates forum post (http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?10691-Game-Update-September-4th-2018).

[Shaolin85london]

Till few hours ago I was rank 1 sss lvl 54/59 wins. After the update I be found myself dropped at rank 345 grade s without played any match.... Is this something you can fix, please?

[Cefiar]

Not sure if this is part of the update, but I noticed a splash screen for Doomsday Eddie, and it showed him with 5 stars.

I thought Doomsday Eddie was 4 stars? Pretty sure he was 4 stars when I got him. Has this changed or is the splash screen wrong?

[Ubajoa]

I thought you will be fixing the issue where perfect corruption was ovewriting immunity effects, now is even worse!! now is going over immunity, perfect inmunity and VANISH!!

So basically nothing can protect you from primordials.

I hope you can solve this.

Gauntlet price adjustments are good so far. Rank C and battles reward 22 iron coins for 2 sands of war.

However I find this to be a bit unsettling

(I mean I can't play because they say I don't have enough sands of war when I clearly have exactly enough)

I had this on level A as well. Says it's 4 per battle, but kept saying I didn't have enough (although I think my reported SOW is slightly off as it seems to have been jumping around a bit.

[Cefiar]

Also, all the "only use xx characters" teams are Red/Blue (Warrior/Magus). Before the update they were Green/Yellow (Sentinel/Gunner).

Methinks something that shouldn't have gotten reset got reset!

[R1ck]

The same here, it says I need one SoW, is exactly what I have but can't play.

[Blade]

And the Gauntlet thinks there are no Troopers:
4866
Probably this will change after the next battle...still funny ;)

Quite a number of problems right now with the game. Good that it's late in Europe anyway... Good night guys! Hope things will be better tomorrow

I amgrade S 40/40 wins 100% but ranked 745?! Also no troopers..

[DanielRacy]

Just want to point out the arena matches issues that started after this update.

http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?10694-PvP-match-hangs

[DanielRacy]

Clicking on PvP sends me straight to the arena. No gauntlet option. Started after that new game data thing just now.

[Leviathan]

Hello everyone!

We have temporarily disabled Gauntlet while we work to address a few issues that have emerged with the newest update.

We'll keep you posted regarding when it will be reinstated.

Cheers \m/

[Cefiar]

Just got new game data here, and yep, Gauntlet is missing, just like mentioned by Leviathan.

[Diamondhead2112]

I hope to hell they are going to extend the event. This was my day off and I had hoped to hit my 300 today but as of now still no update for IOS

[Cefiar]

More likely they'll drop the needed numbers to achieve the rewards. That's what they've done in the past.

[Dennis-5290]

:( no playing tonight

[LOTB_Mia]

Hi Diamondhead2112,

We'll do something for our players once iOS is out and live for everyone. However, we won't have all the details until we're live.

We really appreciate your patience.

- Mia

[Mescalero]

My screen keeps freezing when I click the Defense tab in Arena. Have to close out to get back in.

[RobG-9641]

Hi Diamondhead2112,

We'll do something for our players

- Mia

How about 100 ironite for ever hour update takes + 50 ironite for every new bug introduced + 75 ironite for every old bug not fixed. That’s something like 2,457,893 ironite! Cool! Up the Irons!!

[Lord Schmeb]

iOS still can’t play. Man, what a bummer of a day off.

[magick2401]

Ironite wont take care of this. The loss of time to meet the goals for the event is a huge factor. My troopers are going to miss out also because iOS still can’t play. iOS is usually delayed on all of these updates but this by far has been the worst I’ve encountered.

[GotN]

Hi Diamondhead2112,

If you don’t give us back the time for reaching our goals in arena event, everything you do is meaningless! Doing this maintainance during this event is the most stupid thing you could have done!!! For the first time I was able to be on a good way to reach the goal I set for me and now that! Great great disappointment!!!

Edit: Also, I even don’t want to lock back in and see what place I dropped. Maybe from 100 to 1.000...

[Stormseye]

is it just IOS or are all servers down?

[Yup]

yeah.. wow.. longest downtime I've seen ever... at least for iOS.

[Cefiar]

It's just iOS and the Apple Store taking ages to "approve" the game. Basically the servers are working fine for Android. No idea if they're the same or different front-servers though.

[Yup]

Either way.. pretty horrible. 12+ hours now... and counting...

[Sick]

I really can’t blame Apple for taking a closer look at stuff that NF wants to upload.

[kgk56]

I confirm : DDE was a natural 4*

[Blade]

I confirm : DDE was a natural 4*

Correct.
But apart from that, the splash screen is very cool!

[Blade]

Another issue: After doing a revenge and switching back to the attack tab I get an infinite loading screen that requires to restart the app. Worst update ever.

[chrismt]

"Check back soon, as it won't take long" they said..

Not only I will have lost a full 24h for the event (its 7am here and have to leave for the day) and can kiss the 300 wins goodbye but I can't imagine how far down I will be in the arena since I only had one trooper as defense to give easi wins during the event.

They could at least update the 2 platforms at the same time or wait until they get the apple store approval before releasing android. Whoever planned this whole maintenance during this event was not the sharpest tool in the shed I'm sorry to say.

[Caretaker]

Well, good morning... noon here...
Since I can't play, being on iOS, I guess I have the time to discuss some issues with developers.
On top of everything that's going on, gauntlet is the least of your concerns and should be on the bottom of your to fix list.
Playing the arena event this week we've all noticed the broken combat mechanics with the order of passives, talisman passives, buffs and debuffs proced at the start of the battle.


I thought you will be fixing the issue where perfect corruption was ovewriting immunity effects, now is even worse!! now is going over immunity, perfect inmunity and VANISH!!

So basically nothing can protect you from primordials.

I hope you can solve this.

Imo, that's the first thing that should be addressed, asap. It's not a new thing, we had it with prisoner, then shields procing, so one would think you'd have learned the logic and how to order it correctly and that sort of issues are behind us now. Broken mechanics at the very start of the battle throws everything that we the players set up, counting it should work based on descriptions you provided, down the toilet. And throw shadow on everything that you the developers described.

Let me break it down to the simplicity so it might help you synchronize it with your programming. I'd draw it if I could :D
At the start of the battle, the first thing the game should check on every toon if it's equipped with immunity talis set. If so, no debuff should passively fall to it. Period.
Then you have the prisoner that blocks characters passives, and not talismans, at the start if toon doesn't wear it's own immunity.
Then you have the procing of talismans buffs then talismans passives, and debuffs (primordials being the elephant here at the moment) to the toons that don't have immunity set. Then you have the procing of characters passives, those that aren't blocked by prisoner, first the positive like all immunity, endure etc, and then negative like marks, permadeath and crap like that.
And then you have the toons who's passive removes all buffs and inflict something at the start.

Now the board is set and ready for carnage. Correct me if I've messed sth up. That way PC from primordials can fall to non immunized creatures preventing buffs, but not blocking the wearing talismans.
And if you want to block talismans effects then add a description where it is said "PC strips the wearer naked of everything and block future buffs, unless it has immunity. Then it's just naked." :lol: :p because that is where you are at now, that's what's happening!

Now imagine a disaster if we had a toon that inflicts Perfect Corruption, let's say aoe, at the start of the battle :cool: An entire oposing team would be stripped naked at the start just standing there unequipped. In best case scenario - naked. Oh, and if your new oracle set would be working and transferring that PC to the other team, then both teams are standing naked. That, my dear devs, is a strip show. Definitely not the game nor strategy.
And on that bombshell, I hope you realize now why this is No1 thing to fix???!!!

[Lord Schmeb]

Haha, server still down. What a cluster.

[Liebhild]

Arena is hanging after this downgrad so often.

Toonsetup still not fixed

Defense Bonus nad Relics Reducing still there (that it is there was easy to see in this event, [moderator] need to hide their fraud better).

I really wonder, when those so called devs will learn now to code and stop giving us this noobish stuff.

[Symbiote]

These "updates"/?downgrades?.., things will never change... :'D


Edit: In my opinion i coud wait 1-2 months and play this game without Events or new Characters or what ever..,
But i would wish that you really would concentrate on fixing the whole Game..,

- Skull Quests do not need 3 Team slots/The SQ Team Copy to Cosmos World..
- Cosmos Worlds with 3 Team Slots would be very cool for us the Players..
- The Skill descriptions of the characters are more confusing than give me enough informations e.g. "DMG increases is based on/scales on Max HP/Magic/what ever..," is scales on and increasing the same? Does ATK increase physically too? or nothing?
-- an idea for this descriptions could be, that there is a command for all the descriptions like:
%physical%+%HPscale% -> "This characters deals physical Damage"+"The Damage increases the higher the HP"
The BIG advantage would be, that all the "Blocks" of this Descriptions would be the same nothing like this "scales/based on" things or many other confusing things.., e.g. Owl Cultist -> Deals high magic damags to A target (ONE) + 35% Chance to Silence enemies for 1 turn (all enemies or only ONE?)

-- maybe for this some kind of visual thing that we can see how it will affect the stats..,

- Things like Talismans like Void/Thorn/Shields in general should work if a enemy Counterstrikes..,
-- the same for talismans like destiny.., if i get attacked because of counterstrike the effect of destiny should work too.., if not write it in the description "does not affect if get attacked from counterstrike"

- and so on.., and so on...

If the whole thing would a have solid ground it would be easier to build up new things, or not?
Mmh.., just some thoughts.., what do you think guys?

I don't know if this it here the right place.., but after this update and so many new "un"expected bugs... ^^

[Acousticm]

In PVP, whenever Benjamin revives one of your teammates the game stops responding. It's 90-100% reproducible.
Oddly enough green lillith reviving the team works fine.

What happens:
- play PVP
- have a team w/ Benjamin (and in my case a green lillith and 2 heavier hitters)
- your team gets slaughtered
- Benjamin's fury kicks in and your 2 dead team mates get revived
- Where normally i would see my resurrected team mate attack, the game now does not do anything, it just sits there ..

Have to exit the game and restart (running on iOS if that makes a difference)

tried a few other toons w/ revival capabilities and they seem to work fine.

Is it just me ?

[Inishmore]

I can't play Number of the beast. Every single time I play (Alexander, Warrior Litlith and Prisoner) when the beast revives the first time, everything freezes. I don't have that problem on AMOLAD, so I am grinding there, but I would appreciate if I had the free choice where to grin.

[Liebhild]

"A players place should now be saved when returning to attack and defense lists in the Arena."

Is'nt working correct also, you start swiping and poff you get beamed back to previous position.

I really wonder how hard it is to run a few rounds before you release such a big piece of shit. Most of the new bugs even the [moderator] from NF could have seen, if they would just have played a few rounds.

[Symbiote]

btw. for the Artists of this Game (who really do a fantastic job imo), i think the feet of Osiris and Set shouldn't be the bird feet like Horus. :D

[Liebhild]

OMG LotB needs 2GB here - WTF????

[Cefiar]

It's quite annoying, but my guess is that the way they've implemented it doesn't cause a problem with testing, cos the testing system is slow between actions.

My workarounds have been to either way 2 seconds before using the screen (seems to be enough, even at the bottom of the list) or at the start scroll down to the bottom (highest ranked opponent) then work backwards up the list.

The backwards trick only works because the next person you want to click on is in the top 3rd of the screen after it goes back to the last position, so you don't actually need to scroll.


What I'd like to see is to move the "Battle" buttons in the list from the right side of the screen to the left.

Either that, or when you actually select someone (in the "Match up" screen), move THAT "Battle" button to the left side.

Basically the buttons in the "Arena" lists should be on the opposite side to the ones in the "Match up" screen. Too many times I've gone to click the person at the bottom of the list, and the UI registered a double click and suddenly I'm in a battle that I may not have wanted, with the wrong team!

[Iced_Earth]

btw. for the Artists of this Game (who really do a fantastic job imo), i think the feet of Osiris and Set shouldn't be the bird feet like Horus. :D

Y, please. The Gods have really awesome move animations in the cosmos. But they deserve other feets, cmon..

[Symbiote]

Y, please. The Gods have really awesome move animations in the cosmos. But they deserve other feets, cmon..

Yeah.., i have the feel, all of the animations are getting better and better..,

But i mean the feet don't fit for Set and Osiris. :D They aren't birds. ^^'


Btw. what is with Set.., shouldn't his Skill Usurper percentages 25%/50%.., they are still 20% and 35%....
