Updates from the News Frontier - January 30th 2020

[Ceeg_LOTB]

Welcome Troopers to this week's update.

As the beginning of a new month approaches, the team is hard at work preparing for new Events and releases. Lots to look forward to for the month of February! But let's review this last week.

Troopers’ Respite.

The Pub will be closing its doors soon after this posting, but up until now there have been 10,651,350 Wave clears in the Troopers’ Respite, with 718 Scream for Me Eddies being Summoned from the Book of Souls.

Scream for Me Eddie isn’t going anywhere, just the Dungeon is closing. You can still collect him from any Soul that has a chance of summoning a 5* Sentinel!

A player from Twitter has the perfect Tweet for today.

Today’s Update

You can read everything included in the game update for today here - https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?13068-Game-Update-January-30th-2020 (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?13068-Game-Update-January-30th-2020)

The biggest change that the team has been working on here is the Achievements fix! We have made a change to the game that we believe should correct Achievement and Challenge counts for the players whose progress was reset in the fall or did not accumulate properly.


That's all from us today, but someone sent me this in an email earlier. No message was sent with it.

Signing off!

My achievements aren't fixed. "Clear LoL XI-XV 3,000 times" started at zero. It didn't keep the cumulative total, and I've still been counting up from zero. It should have started including the lower achievement.

[Ceeg_LOTB]

Hey Ydex, we are looking into your account specifically, you should have got a DM from Durandal. ^Ceeg

[Rodrigo-3281]

My achievements aren't fixed either. I'm stuck at 1.8k in LOL Frontier, 1.3k in Gauntlet and 6.5k in Arena. Otherwise everything else is counting as it should. Thanks.

[Yup]

I've had 2 odd achievement issues before today..

One is fixed.. my Gauntlet achievement now reads 2.5k/3k rather than the previous 400/3,000

The other, I can't tell until after rollover.

==========================

I presume the Samurai dungeon opens today... or at last that's my hope.

Kind of sucks to complete the 300 run achievements for a specific colored dungeon,
then to see more achievements for the same dungeon (Moonchild/Raven).
I would have liked to run all the characters at once :) But oh well :)

It would also be nice if the drop rate for Talisman dungeon keys got a bump...
I can burn BNW X all day and only end up with only 1 or 2 keys.
I have tens or dozens (sometimes hundreds) of keys for most dungeons..
except Talisman, Mayan, and Powerslave. These need a boost in the drops please :)

Following the links on Update info, Ceeg mentions a temporary fix for the Beast, so as not to get unlimited turns.... Thanks!

[Discordian]

Great fix on XV - finally, a decent ROI in terms of 4* colorless!

However, there's a significant flaw that needs to be addressed with Max Awakened Prisoner - namely that he can die, be immediately revived - and not disable Labs and Sacreds. This has happened several times now, and he's not been passive disabled. Explanation / fix please?

[gogosox40]

Also with the max prisoner....
If he dies and stays dead his passive works.
If he revives it doesn't work. If the other team revives it doesn't work.
He kinda blows max awakened. Also never got him to do his unlockable stun and in this meta of arena not sure he is useful.
90% of teams have no passive disable when the battle starts
Need some explanation for his passive working or not working

This is all accurate, and on top of this, his power ability to unlock everybody else's blocked skills stops working if they die and are revived. At present, this toon is deeply flawed and, given all the hype (and resources it takes to awaken him), I'd like to hear that something's being done to make him work as advertised... he doesn't do 1/2 of the things that his skills page lists when max awakened.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and since the update, Serenity talismans don't necessarily work. This has happened to me three times since the update:

Dark Lilith wearing Serenity talis gets doomed? Um, the point of the talismans is to make stuff like this impossible? Devs? Care to chime in?

[Akuma]

Very nice update. I tested my 100 new character slots and decided I may as well create a mythical soul after dumping 99 rare souls to test the slots and have a little sacrificing fun, and to my delight, up comes Scream For Me Eddie. Thank you for reading my mind, developers. Happy Friday!

Predator Eddie? A reskin of Final Frontier Eddie, in a jungle/Mayan themed dungeon, with the introduction of the remaining three Women in Uniform Characters?


Taking a closer look at the silhouette, my first thought was The Killer Beast/Prime, with the crystal sticking out of his shoulder.

However, allow me to present you with another far more tantalising possibility. :p

It sounds like The Mercenary (https://genius.com/Iron-maiden-the-mercenary-lyrics) to me. Maybe our next gauntlet character?

Edit: that link I posted says that The Mercenary lyrics were likely based on the movie Predator. I hadn't heard that before. So, your Predator guess could be good too, Azagthor.

Compendium has a mention about new eddies:
- Live After Death Eddie (magus)
- Doomsday Apocalypse Eddie (gunner)

And new allies:
- Odin (warrior, sentinel, magus, gunner)
- Women in uniform (warrior, sentinel)
- Slaughtered Daughter (warrior)
- Trash Mob (warrior)

I tried to message ya Ceeg, but your inbox is full

Hey Ceeg-

Sorry to bug you here on the forums, but are the "challenge" fixes synonymous with "missions"? I initially contacted CS about this in March of last year and am curious if this is what's been addressed in the latest update. All my "remove beneficial effects" missions have been at a standstill the last 10 months and after yesterday's update are still not accumulating.

Curious if you could shed some light on this as I didn't want to put in another ticket for same issue.

Thanks a bunch.

Sorry mate, I have a terrible habit of checking the forums before everywhere each day! Wasn't until much later that someone mentioned you'd all already discussed everything I came up with here hours earlier :P
