New additions next week ?

[Heavy1974]

The facebook page speaks of exciting new additions later next week ?

Sparton ? wanna tell us about ?

[Sparton_LOTB]

I hope you haven't sold your souls.

Sorry, I don't think I'm supposed to say anything yet, but we've got a bunch of awesome lined up that'll drum up some excitement towards the end of the year and then into the new one. Please look forward to it!

but something new next week is correct ?

[Kaijester]

Aww I sold most of my common souls due to bugs:

Bug #1
- example: 10 souls awarded to my stack of 90 will cause server error upon winning in dungeons.

Bug#2
I finally get to collect 99 common souls, but when I use 5 souls from my 2nd stack of 50 common souls, the 5 souls are deducted from my stack of 99 instead when I go back to book of souls. This stack of 94 will potentially cause Bug 1 to occur so I have to sell them all. :(

Seriously -I'm jazzed!

[MuadDib-7367]

Exciting implications.....

[FlyingV]

If this is the revelation of the sacrifice option I and many others will rejoice. The same will be true if instead the character slot expansion is released.

If OTOH, this turns out to be a repeat FotD-style promo with neither of the above fixes, I will be PISSED.



- Soul drop rates have been reported to be abyssmal in terms of repeat characters, making the odds one gets something good from a promotion to be terrible, including those purchased with $, ironite, or badges.

- Devs have effectively removed rare souls from the game, ensuring that only the stockpilers of weeks/months past will be the ones to benefit.

- Most characters have minimal/no remaning slots left and still need some open to allow for the daily challenge of 5 souls opened (another mandatory waste of souls)




I am always excited for progress and improvement of my favorite game, and I HATE to be a wet blanket over potentially good news, but I have done everything necessary to forewarn those who would listen that the release of ANY new character without a way to mitigate our inventory issues (Sacrifice or slot expansion) would not only be unacceptable, it would be unconscionable.

I look forward to good news and writing glowing praise.

[Heavy1974]

Char slots were widened to 125

[Eagleknight]

I would not expect sacrifice anytime soon, we have already been told that pvp will be released first. As always I am hopeful for something good. But I am also not excited about another character release. I would be happy with a brave new world. But pvp doesn't excite me as much as sacrifice would.

But until we have more details I will remain hopeful for something new and fun.

Well, he said "I hope you haven't sold your souls..."

This could mean sacrifice is coming. Or it could mean new characters we can get from souls. Or it could mean a new mechanic with souls. I don't see how "I hope you didn't sell your souls" could apply to PvP, but I get that he did state that months ago (about PvP coming before sacrifice).

Please devs, just don't do like FotD event.

If you will add a new location for the event, just don't mix its loot table into the realm loot table. Spending 10 SoT to get normal drops from AK madness was ultrageous. Also, if you will increase the chance of getting something specific you need to balance the chances across all the loot table. Example: normal FotD Eddie 4* drop chance is 1% and Dog of War 3* drop chance is 40%; during the event FotD Eddie 4* drop chance was 3% and Dog of War 3* drop chance was still 40%, so guess what was more likely to drop? So you need to lower the chance of all other things to make the chance of one thing to really increase (sorry I'm not good with math but you got the idea).

And if you are going to introduce new characters you MUST increase the size of the inventory. Barely can get to 100 4* quest because the 5* I had before are not counting (maybe some bug?), and stacking things in this game like souls or shards cause various crashes so it's not an option to save those if you are going to add new characters, since we'll need souls and shards to evolve them. That demands a crash-free game.

And last but not least the rare soul drops: if you will introduce a uper duper uber rare Eddie with an increased drop chance from rare souls, that's double RNG because you need to be uper duper uber lucky to get a rare soul, and uper duper uber lucky again to get that Eddie. This is supposed to be a game not a lottery...

I'm hoping you guys got a lot of feedback and have had a brainstorm on your own not to repeat the past mistakes. I'm really looking forward to next updates/features/content. But please think 3 or 4 times carefully.

[Reeb99]

Has to be pvp or a new dungeon / cosmos area. I'm leaning towards BNW. A rune dungeon would be great right about now.

[Coletrain]

Thanksgiving event? That's just a US holiday though. Can't wait to get my sentinel turkey

I for one am looking forward to getting my Magus Frosty the Snowman. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found...

Don't forget about the Sentinel Grinch with his special "Increase heart 10x" ability that heals all and delivers crit damage.

[Ancient Mariner]

The same will be true if instead the character slot expansion is released.


Actually it is already live

[MrFreeze]

Ultimate thanksgiving team of sentinel turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy Eddie, and warrior glob of cranberry will rule PvP.

Oh dear flyingv
If only you would have read the post 13 mins after your incorrect post 2 days ago
I explained character slots had been increased and why :(

[FlyingV]

Agreed. I am glad they cleared that hurdle. As you pointed out (I had to go back to your post) it was a silent update and I hadn't heard a word about it. You'd think it would be a bannered announcement by one of us :/

[Esquatcho]

Oooh, a Warrior Santa Eddie, sentinel elves & magus Krampus!?!?

[Fister]

Nah, they're just gonna rename WDK and WDQ. New names, Donner and Blitz or w/e the names of santa's reindeer is. 😝 🎅

[Ionswarm]

I hope you haven't sold your souls.


Are you referring to new characters Sparton? Because I was under the impression that souls were already determined before you opened them.

[Eagleknight]

From what the said before characters are determined when you first open the soul. Meaning that even if you force close the game after opening a soul you will still get same character when you open the soul again. So you can save as many souls as you want and are ok but if you open one you are stuck with that character. Hope that helps.

[Ionswarm]

So those issues with it crashing immediately after opening... it actually manages to save what the soul was despite the crash? Good to know. Thanks.

[Kaijester]

10 characters

When will this next update happen?

[BillLion]

When will this next update happen?

They usually won't pinpoint a day/time until its imminent. They tend to come later in the week, so that would be my expectation.

Very eager to see what's next...

[Frost]

So we all can plan when and how to use our troopers/SoT. Would be really pissed if you guys just shut down the game w/o warning in a middle of a LoL dungeon and take the server off for 6h and cannot use half my troopers taht day.

Also, please be sure of the duration of the maintenance, at least the more accurate the better. Instead of saying it will take 4h and in fact it takes 8h, try to see if it takes 8h before and if it takes 6h or 4h is a bonus.

[Eagleknight]

Drop us a dime on the upcoming update please.

[BillLion]

I actually had a dream last night that the update came through. Not kidding. How bad is that?!?

So in said dream the layout of how we view our Eddies/allies was completely changed and the highly anticipated "sacrifice" feature was implemented. Not sure how it worked because when I pressed the icon it said I needed to download additional date and then I woke up shortly afterwards.

Maybe I'm playing LOTB a little too much.

Hahahaha.

The layout change would be awesome. Like selecting a talisman slot on a char would only show the ones that could be inserted there (green slot would only show green talisman). Or the possibility to sell talisman and chars by selecting them on the inventory, not needing that crap screen where you waste a lot of time discovering what talismans are skilled and sorcery.

Yeah, that would be great. Let's hope it was a vision rather than a dream ;)

[blade685]

Good update is to include a change shard system, one update character shard for one update talisman shard and can invert.
it's so logic for me to implement that...if i was dev

[BillLion]

Maintenance at 2pm -update today?!?

[osiris0000]

Maintenance at 2pm -update today?!?

I got the same message now. It looks like your dream is coming true BillLion :cool:

[BillLion]

The dream was perhaps a vision after all ;)

Edit update: Unless of course it's simply a server tweak and we're getting amped up for nothing :)

[Sparton_LOTB]

That maintenance is indeed for a new update!

I'll be syncing up with the team regarding messaging timing for the event that will coincide with the update.

[scott-5496]

7 pm UK time I think people.....cheers!

[compurocker]

Of course, the day I start having game loading issues! Hope to get back in and join in the fun soon.

[FlyingV]

I really hope they incorporate a fix to the drop rate, even if "Fix" is an elimination of these stupid colored evo runes. It's practically all I get. I literally use them more as absurdly-expensive substitutes for the NONEXISTENT regular runes that almost never drop... that or sales to reinforce the gold I waste misusing them, rather than their intended purpose. How can dropping more of these be any good when we have no chance of leveling the talismans in the first place?! Brave New World cannot arrive fast enough.

[Ringe666-7406]

Thanks a lot Sparton :D Now, before you open a new thread about that, are you allowed to tell us if we'll get some new chars?

[Sparton_LOTB]

I really hope they incorporate a fix to the drop rate, even if "Fix" is an elimination of these stupid colored evo runes.

There's no adjustments for drop rates with this update due to the fact that most of the discussion happened when the update was being finalized for submission (approval took longer than the last few times we've submitted updates). I am still working on this with Kaz, though; it just won't go live for a little while yet.


Thanks a lot Sparton :D Now, before you open a new thread about that, are you allowed to tell us if we'll get some new chars?

Forum posts will be going live soon after maintenance starts (ie now-ish). You'll get your info there :P

Keep an eye on the Game Updates sub-forum.
