June 2nd 2020 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 (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?13610-Game-Update-June-2-2020).

Please note that the majority of the features listed in our update post will not be available until the latest client is downloaded.

Players will be able to log in to the game and play (as well as face off against Baphoment) thanks to a backwards compatible server update we pushed this morning. In order to receive all the new additions and improvements, players will still need to download the latest version of the game from the App Store or Google Play store once this appears.

When we believe the update has been widely propogated to these stores, we will turn on a force upgrade.

[URock]

Server errors are back!
Great job! TY for more time to do other things.

[Phoenix-7282]

Great job on designing the new boss. Both him and the room he is in looks amazing. He definitely feels different to Odin in terms of strategy.

[URock]

Then pls leave the game so that another player can start. Server can handle only one player...:-DDD

[HuckFinn150]

Update to unable to log in...

[Geodude]

Ugh it's update time again. See y'all tomorrow when I can login again...

[Yup]

I can get in.. but damn if I can do anything due to the server delays.


Did see the new Raid boss popup though....

[Phoenix-7282]

I fought the boss once before updating the app. I am also locked out after the update lol.

[HuckFinn150]

I'm in but like Yup can only watch the spinning skull....

[Maiden]

Well maybe tomorrow or so we can see the update, it's very hard to login and/or manage to do something. However, until now the new Raid Baphy looks interesting and as usual, the art is really cool.

Good for finally implementing the ability to see what sets of talis you got in a char in the team selection screen. And also life % at the raids! and some other stuff, but impossible to propper check anything.

Hopefully tomorrow we can play.

[Madrik]

dont quite understand why you add items in store then remove them... i wanted to buy the awakening pack went to buy it and they have vanished.....very very un-proffesional

[Brakius]

Awakening pack is still there, you just need to navigate through more tabs.

From the main store menu, select MORE, the navigate to UPGRADE, and finally AWAKEN.

[druid138]

Do the materials needed to awaken Osiris to 6* look incorrect? They look more like the materials that should be needed for 7*, right?

[Madrik]

no its not that awakening pack, there was a lengendary awakening pack in the main featured tab which had all materials to fully awaken a toon

[zamasu]

Why would you increase the price of the inmmortal 5* Soul?

It was 15,000 before. Now it is 25,000!!!!

Why would you slap players in the face like that?

[RobG-9641]

Please return the Event Dungeon Souls back to their original prices! Awful if you intentionally raised them without warning!!

[AndyCatzo]

what the hell!!! why did you change the cost of the Eddie souls? that was a very bad move from your part!

[Ceeg_LOTB]

Hi everyone, the team are aware of the price discrepancies after the update and it will be fixed shortly!

[URock]

What's the point to fight Baphy (the new Clan Boss)?
Talisman frags as reward?
Really?

[HuckFinn150]

And we're broke again. Update and server restart in a day is deadly to this game.....

[Alvorada]

And we're broke again. Update and server restart in a day is deadly to this game.....

Be optimistic, now game is down due the new event.

After all, connection issues it is no reason to postpone schedule.

[Geodude]

Seems like a better update this time, some promising changes.

Talis system seems improved a bit. Doesn't always refresh/default back to the start of the toon list after every change now, though still does it sometimes, when selecting back and forth between unequipped and equipped modes, etc. Some weird behavior now though, it doesn't always refresh the talis list according to which mode is selected, equipped/unequipped, and when it finally does refresh, it now defaults back to the start of the toon list again. So still some work needed to get it right. Selecting slots/colored/non-colored seems better now, though still not consistent between equipped and unequipped modes. System seems overall a little less laggy now.

I like the equipped talis shown on the team toon display page now. Very useful. Now just show them for the opponents too :)

Back to 3s delay between auto battles. Hooray!

Store seems better organized now, though many more pages and locations to go through now to pinpoint what I need. Not sure yet if that's a good thing, or too much. Hopefully just need to get used to it, and where everything is located now. Might cut down on scrolling through the previous long lists of items. We'll see.

Also just discovered a fun easter egg, that everyone else prob already knows about, in toon display page if you multi click on the toon you can kill him and he falls over dead haha.

Overall a better update for a change imo.

[Madrik]

Hi everyone, the team are aware of the price discrepancies after the update and it will be fixed shortly!

when are the legendary awakening packs gonna be back in store the £38.99 ones they was only there for an hour then they disappeared..

[HuckFinn150]

Might not be a dead horse yet, but it's awfully lame, and you know what you do to a lame horse lol

[Yup]

iOS....

None of the green "Purchase" buttons work.... Doesn't matter what is being spent for what item.. the green buttons do nothing.

Tried refilling SOT with ironite.. nope.. tried buying a Skill shard with gold.. nope.. tried buying event frags with $$.. nope...

[jstrickPhoto]

Apparently the "Sacrifice" option is not operational (iOS). I keep getting a SAC11 error. Not going to risk sacrificing 5* Eddies today...

[Yup]

Glitch.. had to restart the app.. again....

[zamasu]

Sac and Storss are not working. You cannot purchase anything

[Yup]

Restart the app. I had the same issue with purchasing and sacrificing... a reboot corrected it.


Talisman icons on info screens. nice! Thanks for that devs.

I like the new store.. .just hard to find things.

[jstrickPhoto]

And now it seems ALL down as I'm getting the HTTP error.

[Cefiar]

All back up and working for me.

Apart from the 2-3 hours of issues after the daily turnover, I'm really finding this mostly positive.

Especially liking that it's back to 3 sec between each run, instead of the 10 sec it was previously.

Game is mostly responsive (notes below). The improvements to the store, seeing toon talis when inspecting them at team building time, the strategies feature and the improvements to raids are really good.

Also, the talisman equipping delays seem to be gone.

Re: Responsive issue. I have noticed that when you look at a particular class of Toon in Teams, then change that class (ie: warrior to sentinel), that it lags between switching (seems like >500ms delay each switch). Doesn't seem to happen with Talismans though, just Toons.

Yes I noticed the lag too. The annoying talisman lag is gone. But niw the characters lag

[Cefiar]

And now more new game data, but once again after it happens, can't get back into the game.

Seems every time there is new game data, the game is completely unavailable for ~30 mins. Seems way too much impact for something like game data.

[scimitar]

Talis system:
There were no problems replacing the talis from toon to toon before.
Now, after replacing one talis, they are returned to the top of the list.
Now it’s faster to remove all the necessary talis, then put them on.
Not cool

[scimitar]

Also just discovered a fun easter egg, that everyone else prob already knows about, in toon display page if you multi click on the toon you can kill him and he falls over dead haha.


And if you press and hold, you will see how he celebrates

[Yup]

Wasteland Eddie's Fury is broken....

Upon his fury killing an enemy he is supposed to "heal 100%"... but he actually drains 100% of his HP with Physical damage (Red numbers).

All new as of the update yesterday.

[dragonmat89]

Do the materials needed to awaken Osiris to 6* look incorrect? They look more like the materials that should be needed for 7*, right?

8472

Yes, you're correct - can anyone who has awakened Osiris confirm if this is just a visual glitch (like the SoT in store) or an actual error?

[HuckFinn150]

Still down. Unable to log in today.

[Geodude]

Back up to 7s between auto battles? Booooo!
You're trying to ease the load on the servers, so why are you constantly running several overlapping individual and clan grinding events all at once??? How about just not overlapping them at all, which will be more manageable for everyone, servers included.

[Yup]

I don't know the logistics of this.. but they must know when server loads are higher... it would not be unsettling to see a 7sec delay during high load periods, and then for it to drop back to 3 during lower load periods. If that were automated, I'm sure it'd make someone's life easier on the dev team.

[Yup]

Also.. NOT a fan of the new sliding price scale for repeat purchases.. Y'all snuck that in without disclosing it....

Everyone WATCH your purchases.
Many items now get MORE expensive with each purchase.

Example... 50 FC for 10 tribute.... second purchase... 50 FC for 20 tribute... third purchase... 50 FC for 30 tribute.

[Maiden]

There are so many things going around at the same time that I even did not have the time to try half of them...

Honestly, the update in theory looks great but I couldn´t even properly see it. I´m bored with negative posts and complaints about stupid things... but seriously guys... Not half-way of a farming running event you push a super important update with:

2° Raid Boss.
2° Event including more grind and battles everywhere including arena.
Back to 3 secs autoplay.
Major hub restructuration.
And I´m probably forgetting something else

Everything its welcome, but all together at the same time? of course the server can´t handle and you know that. So it was intentioned to blow up everything and see what happens...and then try to fix it...

Well.. just waiting to have an opportunity to play without rush and enjoy the update. Or just choosing not to pick up half of the new event is also a go.

[Ancient Mariner]

Since the last update I'm experiencing an even slower gameplay response than before (and it was already slowed down with the previous game update, compared to the past) while browsing the menu, especially when switching characters/talimans class.

This is totally annoying... we already spend a lot of time navigating the game menu, now with this laggy situation it has become a pain.

Please fix it!

[Mario.Ahner]

It would only be fair if they increase the time that they would increase SoT from 120 to 150

[Geodude]

Ya, after playing with it for a while now, things aren't really any better, as hoped, and possibly even worse, with the new lagginess, as mentioned. Talis system still refreshes and defaults back to the start of both the toon list and talis list, as you're switching between the different talis, depending on which mode you're in, equipped or unequipped. I'd like to come work in your QA department plz.

And back to 10s delay. Better make it 30s if you're going to keep bombarding us with all the nonstop overlapping grinding events and rapidfire releases of buggy new content.

What at first seemed like a decent update, disappointing.

[HuckFinn150]

I decided in bad error to use a labyrinth key. I sat my phone down and came back in 2 hours with no defeats, I was only able to do 12 battles. No deaths of issues. The time between brakes is greater than 10 second, much greater. I'll not waste anymore keys or ironite in sands for a long while

12 battles in 2 hours? I think that is more related to the team that you were using because I was able to complete 446 battles with 5 labyrinth keys.

[HuckFinn150]

I used awakened Cyborg, Valhalla Maiden, Prisoner and Banshee. The last battle showed 1 minute 34 seconds, so I'm guessing the rest were about that as well. I wish it would have been short enough to make me want to sit and watch it, but at 2 hours, I sat the phone down and walked away. I might burn another key and watch it when I have 2 hours to waste.

[GrimDusk]

Question, are Baphomet's rewards temporary? Because Odin gives a lot more than just red gold talisman frags, he gives clan frags and the Norse character frags.

Oh yes, this is so true! I have to wait 5 seconds for almost every action, especially when switching character or talisman class. This is terrible, especially as we have to swap talismans so often nowadays. I really hope we see a fix for that soonTM.
Also it would be great to have the option to swap tallismans between characters via the search function. In the meanwhile it would be helpful to further increase the inventory size for characters and especially talismans to avoid inventory overflow that is happening regularly. Thanks!

the real improvement imho would be, beside the obvious return to the not laggy version of the game, to add the feature that lets you equip A WHOLE TALISMAN SET to a character, something we're all dreaming of for a long time :D

Oh and one more thing: the timer in clan section is playing tricks. I think it still works cause SOB refill, but the visual is broken since the seconds don't seem to go by

[fred]

SOB changed refresh time display changed from minutes:seconds to hours:minutes.

[Alvorada]

The regular rewards are the same, like gold&red and clan stuff. Only the "top prize" changes: Odin drops thor and gunner valhalla maiden, Baphomet the red cosmic shards.

oh that's why, thanks!

actually they give different rewards: yesterday for example i got an awakening shard from a Baphomet battle, Odin never dropped such thing

[Azagthor]

Odin can drop awakening materials, but it seems quite rare. I've had a colourless 5* Shard and a LoL Shard drop from him.

[Yup]

Same for Baphomet... saw a 5 star Gunner awakening rune drop there once....

Purchase Resources on the go!
Players will now be given the option to purchase an exact amount of required resources for Ironite while in the middle of various actions. For instance, if you are short the amount of Gold required to complete an upgrade, a pop up will appear offering the opportunity to purchase the remainder of the gold needed. This new feature allows for less friction during gameplay, letting you complete your upgrades and more without having to visit the store!

This feature charges too much for low amounts of SoT. When running the various dungeons if I need 6 SoT it wants to charge me 3 ironite. 120 SoT is 30 ironite. 4:1 cost. You are charging a premium for the small transactions at 1:2. 19 SoT costs 8 ironite. I don't know if the ratio gets better for larger amounts. Is this price gouging intentional?

Also it is rare that I need to buy only enough for the single dungeon run I am doing. There are always events in this game that require a high number of runs. When I run out of SoT I buy a refill so I can keep going. I am finding personally that with this feature I have to back out of the dungeon, go to the store, purchase the regular or mega pack of SoT then go back to the dungeon. Could you add the link to the store back in so it is fewer clicks to get refills? Leave the option to buy just enough for the single run, but give the shortcut to the store for the 120 and 600 refill packs to get us through all these multiple run events. I would much rather visit the store than pay the premium for the convenience of buying a small number of SoT at a higher rate.

[Geodude]

I'm never going to buy just enough sot just to finish one battle. I'm always going to buy a block of sot, either single refills or mega pack, so this feature is just another annoyance and hindrance in the game, that forces me to exit back out to buy the sot, then go back in.

[Maiden]

Finally, after 2 weeks of its launching, I have been able to play (a little) more deeply the features of this update...

Some thoughts about it:

Store Screen rebuild:

GOOD!!! Finally a kind of solution for the neverending scrolling through thousands and thousands of convoluted things! Less scroll and messy navigation, less interminable surfing. Some ppl might say they can´t find their stuff now, and there are too many screens but it's a cheap price to pay in order to fix that unfriendly user interface. To me it's a good step.

Still, some little details can be improved.. like when you put a talisman purchasable through ironite next to the featured one purchasable through event frags... sometimes choosing the correct talisman is more difficult than killing a Cosmic Lilith.

Strategy recommendations:

Good Idea! Not 100% well implemented but kinda ok. Still, you can see some recommended teams formed by back seating Eddies instead of the main one and that it's misleading.

Pre-battle Team interface:

The ability to see talismans equipped without the need to go to your main team screen it's just fantastic, a really, really old thing that we´ve been asking for finally implemented...
BTW 80% of toons are Non-eddies, so they don't have past and future skills... why you keep having an inventory with that empty space for them?

Talisman search

It's working better! no lag and I think the talismans are being memorized so ok! We got a wee lag with toons now but isn´t a biggy... BUT the game still froze when you equip and upgrade a talisman after searching for it. Also, we need to have the ability to equip/unequip the whole set in one move and look for augmentations in cosmic talismans. Also a chance to upgrade from 3* to 5* max if we wish to in one fell swoop.

Please don´t stop working in this feature because you did the so long postponed searching feature... this game its basically swapping talismans on toons... don´t let that user experience as a back job....

Baphy
The second raid its amazing, I like the idea of a different approach and strategy to face it. As usual graphics and art are amazing. Only its fury it's a little weird when the screen goes to white it feels buggy...
And sadly we don´t have too much info about his abilities and grl stuff... I mean, with Odin we had a proper description of his fury, with Baphy we are supposing what's happening...

Raid Screen: You´ve been listening to us! We can see the amount a number of their life bar, good! BUT those are still lagged, still happens that you go in and you find the raid with different health...

Sob incrementing to 5, thks very much welcome, no more worries for not using sobs daily.

I´m for sure forgetting a lot stuff to mention. But, I can´t let pass:

Your Timing, your deploying

It was such a big improvement, so many new things going around and you put this update just in the middle of one of the worst weeks in the game? I mean where is your project manager? who is you marketing director? Came on! It's sad to see so many good things here going totally unnoticed because you throw at us a silly schedule! Why if you didn´t release an event during the first half of May you release EVERTYHING TOGETHER in 15 days?

It was awful in every single aspect of the game, events convoluted, bugged, awful gaming experience, 3 or 4 events running at the same time, and players without knowing what they have to do or not because everything is mixed. Events bugged and servers collapsed, and you put a freaking second raid boss, one of the biggest updates, the most similar thing to new content in the game in the middle of that mess!?!?!?! Really?

If I were a dev or artist working there, Id be at least disappointed, so much work and effort just vanished in the middle of such chaos... as marketing director o project manager you waste the until now biggest update in the year and it happened almost unseen. I wish I could use one week only playing the new raid, figuring out strategies and teams, understanding best ideas for space talismans, or buying more sob, or whatever, instead I had one of the worst times in gaming experience, wondering why I was playing this....
