[Leviathan]

8470

Unleash the beast within!

**BONUS: Clear Samurai, Mystic Night, Powerslave, Labyrinth, or Infernal Frontier Dungeons for guaranteed Inferno Soul Fragments.

Hell Awakening Shards can now be applied to the newly awakenable Number of the Beast Eddie! Awaken this Eddie fully to unlock a powerful Fury/Passive combo ability. See the Compendium for full details.

Forged Fragments are the event currency of the Forge of Destiny Mega Event.

Trade your Forged Fragments in the Mega Store for rare rewards including Freya Cosmic Talismans and Odin himself!

You can learn more about this Mega event in the Forge of Destiny event post here! (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?13359-Forge-of-Destiny-Mega-Event-Info-and-Discussion)



Trade Inferno Fragments for Rewards!

Inferno Fragments can be traded for a variety of rewards including Cosmic Beast Talismans and Hell Awakening Shards!

New Cosmic Beast Talismans can be equipped to The Beast, Beast Eddie, Magma Beast Eddie or Number of the Beast Eddie! They will increase all stats in battle, reduce incoming damage and remove Immunity and Perfect Immunity from all enemies at the start of battle. They also deal True Damage that ignores damage immunity and calculates its power off the number of burns present on your target.

Since Inferno Fragments are meant to be spent in store they will ‘loop’ if you claim a Inferno Soul (if claimed, a Inferno Soul will simply produce 500 Inferno Fragments, and 1 1* Gold Idol, thus returning the fragments used to create it, and the Gold spent to summon it). If you do not wish to spend these Fragments in store, you can always convert them into Precious Soul Fragments.



Event Store Additions


We have a number of limited time offerings for various in-game currencies available in the Event Store! Head to the store for the full list of offers.

It also contains a T2 Gold Cosmic Talisman with a Shadow set-effect. This effect will give the wearer Vanish at the start of battle. If you have Perfect Hit active, you will also gain Vanish, Critical Change and All Damage Charge for 1 turn!

Can't seem to connect.

Why release two events that each require a lot of grinding to overlap each other? Not to mention to no one’s surprise, the game is unstable and unplayable after an update... Again, botched!! You’ve outdone yourselves.

[AndyCatzo]

Couple things:

1. The timer of the Events store says that the items will expire in 20 hours (for the 666 event)
2. The Events store is not allowing us to buy anything.

Could you please fix it?

[BeachPlease]

I want to die. I bought Bomber Ace early today and now I don't have 6,666 FC por that Red T3

Same thing happened to me, I bought NOTB eddie and Osiris just after the upgrade and now I only have like 2K FC

[Yup]

Red T3 will mostly likely drop something like MR+15% or DEF+15% anyway.... It's not like the red/yellows always have the good augments.

[Cefiar]

Just got my 3rd set of "New game data" msgs today and once again, can't get back into the game.

I just got a "Login Failed" box. Never seen that before. *sigh*

[Muzzleloader]

I've seen the failed login prompt. At least they work at creating new reasons why the game doesnt work.

[Fudjo]

If I'm reading this correctly, you can only get 600 Inferno Soul Fragments from the event challenges. The Cosmic Beast Talismans cost at least 1000 Inferno Soul Fragments (for the T1). This means you need to buy the Inferno Fragment Mega Pack with money as an In-App Purchase in order to get a Cosmic Beast Talisman. Is this intentional?

[Muzzleloader]

They also drop in the specified dungeons.

No, the fragments drop in the dungeons too

[Fudjo]

Oh thank gawd.

[Azagthor]

I think this is right. Most of these seem fairly reasonable, with the stretch goals giving people something higher to aim for. Even grinding for the T3 cosmic wont be too difficult, only needing 200-300 runs in those dungeons.

Now, the more important questions are who's got a spare 350M gold to spend, and who is going to get the most disappointing Red T3? :P

8471

[Geodude]

Ugh, T3 DEF+15% for me. Beat that!

[ericgallucci]

I believe the stretch goal in the past for gold spent was 1 million not 10 million but I could be wrong...

[Yup]

I think this is right. Most of these seem fairly reasonable, with the stretch goals giving people something higher to aim for. Even grinding for the T3 cosmic wont be too difficult, only needing 200-300 runs in those dungeons.



Remember there are 4 characters that can wear and take advantage of the Cosmic.. so total that would be anywhere from 4 to 6k in frags for 4 of the cosmics.....

[URock]

Is there any other way to get Hell Awakening Shards? Are they dropping in Infernal Dungeon or LOL?
Sry, but I lost overview on all that stuff and the game is missing these infos right from the beginning.

[fantomz]

They drops in Infernal,yes.

[Azile]

Same thing happened to me, I bought NOTB eddie and Osiris just after the upgrade and now I only have like 2K FC

Ya this is just another example of NF stupidity or greed, make 2 chars awakenable 1 day before dropping event challenge that requires spending mass FC. Really pissed off they would do this. Of course I bought NOTB once he was awakenable and very next day, this complete garbage slap in the face.

So my response is simple, I refuse to spend money like I used to on the game. I'm sure NF can go check my account spending history and see the drop off of spending that I started immediately after C Lilith event ended, when all their server issues and flat out refusal to fix bugs and problems and start giving a damn about the players at all. Now this FC spend crap they pulled, extending my $$$ boycott.

Honestly, until they remove the 475 ironite popup as we have requested repeatedly (it is such a horrible deal, only a noon would buy it), I will not spend much at all on the game. Too bad, because (NF - go check me) I have zero qualms about spending a lot of cash on games I like. For the last two months, I have spent 1% of what I would have spent and that boycott is going to continue.

Suggest everyone do this until they get their act together period.

[Mateja]

@Anyone complaining about timing.

The fact that you spent FC right before a scheduled variety event is not anyone's fault but yours. June event list was released a few days before the update so you could see that variety is the first one up. Even if it wasn't released, if you don't have a massive pile of FC but want to complete challenges, you should wait for it. Your inability to think ahead is no one else's problem.

Stop blaming developers for every little issue you have and focus on giving feedback that actually relates to gameplay and not your lack of thinking.

If you actually used resources that developers provided, you would say the timing of this event is perfect because people who want to buy NotB and Osiris don't have to wait the whole month for a variety event but only a day.

[Muzzleloader]

Resource management is an important part of the game. Spending resources to get something 'now' is not always prudent in the game, waiting sometimes is the better option.

I totally agree. And that's what us players are supposed to do. Otherwise, that Event list would serve no purpose.
I was tempted to get NotB Eddie but as soon as I saw the June Event list and saw the "Variety" event, I just waited.

Ditto with then awakening NotB - he became awakenable at ~6.30 pm yesterday and as variety events usually involve a gold spend challenge, you could easily expect that waiting until the event to awaken their new/existing NotB was a good idea. Admittedly, this sort of insight comes with having played the game for years and knowing what sort or challenges come with each event - new(er) players who've never had a variety event might not have realised this.

[URock]

LOL XI-XV doesn't count.
Great job devs!

I agree that a player who has never seen a variety event can't know what will happen or what to expect, but if someone is buying a toon for 3500 frontier coins or doing an awakening, chances are they aren't that new to the game.

Exactly. But then I should've added that whoever has an account here would be knowledgeable of that type of monthly event. Especially if that person has lots of posts. And a newcomer wouldn't have a good amount of FC to begin with so it would not affect them.

[Mario.Ahner]

Again: Great job on the update!!!

Two time consuming events at the same time and nothing is working AGAIN!!!!


It is OK, if someone makes a mistake and learns from this mistake, but making the same mistakes over and over again is simply stupid.

[Azile]

Keep on shilling for NF boys. Let the utter crap they feed you that is supposed to be "normal" fuel your epeen.

Your compliance and ridiculous low expectations is laughable as usual.

[Azile]

And I suppose the way the servers are running consistently in a perpetual state of hell is also acceptable to you shills right? Notice that now that we have finally hit a state where the new "normal" is constantly messed servers, disconnects and lag etc., instead of it happening occasionally, you have fully accepted this as acceptable and expect no compensation or progress towards a stable game state as well?

Never seen a group of fanboi shills so willing to allow a game company like NF to routinely screw you and its players over since Diablo fans.

Monthly event list has been around since a long time to inform us what type of event is coming up next. How are we shilling on that? How do you want the developers to help you on that? Give you a phone call/message you personally, reminding you what to do an not to do? We know know it's always different every single month. You can't be trigger happy then blame on someone for your own mistake. You know it's a new month starting, thus new month event. If you keep making that mistake, then Gold help you 'cause we can't.

[Mateja]

I see someone doesn't have arguments. Except for a few days after updates, which is bothersome but manageable, game is running perfectly fine so that one is not valid. With most of the comments on the forum being negative, it can't be called a "group of fanboi shills" and you'd know that if you had the most basic comprehension skills. Blaming developers on bad decisions you make just shows your character and I hope you aren't like that in actual life about much more important things than a bunch of 0's and 1's. Suck it up and remember for the next time.

[Geodude]

Personally, I think it's a pretty dishonest and dirty trick when they (often) do that, knowing full well that many people are going to jump the gun and fall for it. Dangle the carrot, release something new to buy like that, just before an event that requires the same resource that many people, who didn't get the memo, will have just spent up buying that item. I've fallen for it in the past several times as well, for a long time before I even knew about these forums and the monthly events calendar, and been similarly pissed. What, they couldn't wait a day or two to release it along with the corresponding event? Why not quit intentionally trying to screw over and piss off your customers. But hey, it's a business like any other, as long as they're makin money, that's their name of the game.

[HuckFinn150]

I don't see the reason for being upset over getting NotB as he is a good Ed with or without awakening. I've had him since he was released and have fun with him and he can still hold his own. I want the new talisman for him and the other beast Ed's but I like my current setups and don't really want to break them up. So, the talisman and awakening is not really a big deal for a really good Ed.

[Yup]

I simply think the 666 dungeon run achievement is pretty sad.. all those runs for REALLY pathetic rewards. It would have been better as a repeatable - 666 FC, 666 Awakening frags 666 talisman frags.. every 66 runs repeatable 10 times. But 666 runs for only 100FC, 500 awakening frags and 1k talisman frags is sort of a waste of effort.

Yeah, those acheivement rewards aren't much on their own, but when you think of it as "Run 666 Dungeons for two Beast Cosmics" it starts to look like a much better deal.

[Yup]

How do you know it'll amount to 2 beast cosmics???

I guess if you factor 5 frags per run.. and 666 runs - 3330 frags... so yeah.. stick to the 5 frag drop dungeons.. but you'll need a shitload of keys and ironite since at best the dungeons cost 15 SOT per run. Might be cheaper to just outright buy fragments rather than the ironite needed for refills.

Here though, you are 100% incorrect because Gold would help me greatly...so many toons to awaken.

Oh give it a break Mateja, you are in a very small group of players who constantly defends NF on all issues despite being radically incorrect. One only needs to review your history of posts to see your combative nature and constant defense of NF. If it was not for the obvious lack of restraint in what you decide to put to prose on the forums, we could almost assume you work for them, but I doubt that based on how you carry yourself, most likely, as with some online, you just take the minority view point on issues to get into arguments and negative engagement.

Realize your views about NF is the 1%. You probably actually support the 475 Ironite popup because you know it annoys the other 99% of the player base.

Anyhow, this argument is pointless. Arguing with shills serves no purpose, so I simply agree to disagree and am done with this engagement with you until the next time we clash on the forums.

Feel free to proceed to get the last word in.

[PeaceWalker]

I meant to say God not Gold lol.

Though I agree that there are so many toons to awaken. I'm struggling on resources too but trying to get by with what I have.

[Beddie]

Azile I have a question, if you hate the game so much... why do you still play it?

[seneuk]

Sorry
but I have missed something.
The T3 talisman for the beast cost 1500 fragments.
BUT there is only 600 fragments to earn.
How do we buy the talisman?
Can someone explain to me?

[Mario.Ahner]

You have to sacrifice a virgin!

(Or play the dungeons)

[BeachPlease]

Well, lesson learned. For all of those who couldn't hold on and spend before the event, I'm gonna quote Michael Gary Scott:
"Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.".
Do I regret buying Bomber Ace? Yes, of course. But what's done, is done. As many others here I really like the game and don't enjoy the negative comments. So if it was hard to earn, don't spend it unless you have to!

[Muzzleloader]

Resource management is very important in this game. Being a hoarder sometimes pays benefits. Always keep a reserve, you never know when you may need something to complete a challenge.
