January Event Teaser Discussion

A teaser of what is to come for January!

This thread is to disucss/speculate on the upcoming month’s events.

[Askora]

Sentinel corrupt rescuer for the 1st one. And, I believe 7th son Eddie might be the chosen one.

[MisterEly]

Events! Events! Events! I wonder if we're gonna get events for every month :P

Looks like January will add Seventh Son Eddie, too. He better be like the half-body mesh, like Speed of Light Eddie, and not like the goofy one in the concept design book with jeans and a Maiden t-shirt. Oh well, guess I have to wait and see. I'm excited, can't really complain about 4 consecutive months of events. Keep 'em coming!

[Amarthir]

I like the pleasant artwork. It feels calming, like things will be taken easy this month. There are fewer events than last month. I like that. It looks like the fragment events are becoming centered around new characters instead of old ones which is cool. A Sentinel Corrupt Rescuer would probably bring something decent to the table.

What's the point having event if game is unplayable...

[DIEDD]

I do not give a f... about the bugs, if this is the arrival of the seventh son.

I agree with these sentiments. I especially like that the number of events has been reduced just a bit. It was a bit taxing to do all of the December events while also spending time with family and tending to...real life.

[slauki]

wow 7th son design looks promising...i would like to see some more events but i can understand the people who like it the opposite way.
can you please say some words about the "new unannounced game mode" sparton? can we expect it this month?

i really like many of the events since they give us something to do.

btw: happy new year to all mofos who are still around here :D

[Askora]

So, a bit more speculation here.

Sentinel corrupt rescuer starting at reset today in LoL. 3 day event. Seems about right to me.

666? Playable beast? Number of the beast Eddie? PvE event? Not really sure on this one.

Proliferation of scales? In the game, talismans are scales, right? A talisman based event seems unusual, but not impossible and perhaps a tie-in to the new game play mode. Although a possible beta was mentioned for the new mode, so not sure on this one either.

All dungeon weekend could possibly be just LoL dungeons open on the weekend. Seems odd though if the first event is based in LoL, so hopefully it's free BNW for a weekend. I still need rage talismans.

7th son is obviously a sacrifice event. In theme though, I'm imagining tier 7 sacrifice for rewards. If that's the case, hopefully it's a guaranteed 7th son soul. We know he should heal. :D As for class, maybe a sentinel or gunner?

Finally, the magi arena event. Not certain other than it'll be a magus toon. Of course, 7th son could be a magus and tied into this event as well.

That's my thoughts, would love to hear what others think.

Any monthly events and something different to do helps but the crashes need to stop. We were told we would get Night City in 2017 - nothing! So we now know that the devs are not keeping their word which is a sad day as they mostly keep their word. We really need more new stuff to do. It is a new year and we need to treat it as such so I am hoping January brings a new game mode and a new story based venue for us to play in. The game is crying out for new things to do......and more stability.

Trying not to be negative but not seen any improvements to the game over the last month or two and for me this playability is at its worst I have seen in a long time.

Very little coming from the devs either which is a worry.

[Yup]

Where's Night City??

Is this game now exclusively about the "Events"? Is actual development to further the non-event game even taking place?

[Ancient Mariner]

Ok for the events and stuff, but i guess i'm not the only one who wants new freaking worlds to go through, with the storyline going on!

I'm not playing anymore for now indeed, i got bored

[slauki]

there is a structural problem is with night city...i'd love to see it but if they release it we will finish it in 2 hours and then we would need the silent planet soon.
no way we will get some longterm motivation with one or two new worlds per year, so i understand the focus on the arena and the events. hope the "new unannounced game mode" will be something more longterm oriented.

i'd love to see some kind of mini level stuff like the helloween FOTD event in 2016 more often. but they said it's technically hard to implement for some reasons...
this could spice up things a lot.

but what i'd love to see in the meantime is a new immortal event, where could farm for 5* eddies. that was the best event in history of the game for me.

[Sparton_LOTB]

can you please say some words about the "new unannounced game mode" sparton? can we expect it this month?

Progress is still being made on the unannounced game mode, but it's taking more time than expected to get it up and running. Probably not a thing for this month.

thanks for info, and good luck with the progress :)

[Yup]

I'm just wondering how NF expects players to stick around... I mean play or a month or two.. finish the story. .then all there is to do is PvP and level up toons... Acquiring the new character isn't really that challenging if you completed the story part of the game.... and PvP gets REALLY old and boring after a bit... Events, I'm sure, are great for steady revenue, but without further STORY development things would seemingly become dependent upon NEW players rather than retention of existing players.

I'd just like to see Night City... Secret Planet.. and a couple more rather then the surely looming "Valentine's Event". By now these events must be old hat for NF... just throw in a new character to existing code...

didn't loot any good toon since many month only useless ones
Perhaps finally that month....:rolleyes:

[Mariner-1212]

I do not give a f... about the bugs, if this is the arrival of the seventh son.

Can't say it any better, this is exactly how I feel. Been waiting for this iconic Eddie since September of 2016 back with my first account on this game. One of my favorite albums, and my favorite album artwork by far.

I haven't gotten any of the new Eddies, and frankly I'm now missing so many of them that trying to complete the collection seems futile ... but this one I need. 7th son, Cyborg and Pharaoh are my "childhood intro to Maiden" Eddies.


Also - Happy New Year to you too, brother Slauki, and to all of you here.

[Mariner-1212]

Pretty pumped about this, so I made a Spotify playlist for the month to ramp up, if anyone's interested...

[Askora]

No one else going to make a guess on some of the other events? I mean 7th son is obvious with the artwork and 'the chosen one', some of the others a little less so.

We all want Night City but, as slauki pointed out, it will be a shortlived gain. The events, pvp and the unannounced game mode are the long term. Part of the event is trying to guess what's coming next.

I think your guesses were good. 666 could be fragment drops on the Underworld level, or something like that. Maybe 6 days of giveaways, like 6 skill shards, and 6 souls, etc. On a side note, it's cool that the 3 extra Troopers we have all constantly say they were active 6 hours ago (666).

The Magi event could be enhanced chance of pulling Mystic, Ed The Great, and the new Seventh Son Ed through a special soul the same way the Christmas Souls were in this last event.

Proliferation of Scales sounds like a BNW promo for sure based on scales of the beast like you pointed out. All in all, many of us had been asking for an 'easy' month in terms of commitment after the November December ones, so I like that this month is laid back and (probably) more of a resource-building approach.

Lastly, I agree about Night City. It will be awesome to get it, but everything needs to be looked at relatively. BNW was released, and it was very difficult to beat. We all had the complaints of it taking way too long once you got to the DK. BUT, if it's too easy, it's over with quickly and then you're left wanting the next thing. Anything that is not PVP right now is Farming material. Night City will be a cool new landscape with new characters and continuation of the story. And, the higher level players will beat it pretty quickly and be back to farming like everywhere else. Events are where it's at, because they give farming a more purposeful boost with fragments, and other various aspects of the game more exciting.

Fragments, guaranteed toons, ability to mitigate dupes of eternals/trooper toons, mythical souls for purchase, a plethora of new characters - both Eddies & Supporting cast, BNW for farming talismans... if you really look back at this forum from the past year, you'll see that NF has delivered exactly what we've all asked for many times over. They even worked in some events that give skill shards like we asked for. Night City will be great, but don't make the mistake of thinking that it's going to be something more than it can be, or you're setting yourselves up for disappointment.

[slauki]

good guesses guys.

666 could be something NOTB related. so final level of underworld or the whole stage could drop something special

proliferation of scales could be something BNW relatated as you pointed out. an argument for that would be that the other events don't seem to bnw related so it's a good guess that they will try to encourage us to play it.

all dungeon weekend: i really hope for LOL dungeons to be open and playable for free, this would be just awesome. if they just open up lol with regular costs, it would be like the famous cyborg monday even --> a source of endless and rightfull disappointment. but BNW could be open too, so it would be great if we could farm whereever want for free.

enough is said about the chosen one, no reason to belive it won't be 7th son eddie gaining with frags for specific tiers/vortex fills (maybe like alchemist?)

arena event with blue soul fragment drops could be collosseum of magi. don't think we will be able to farm 5* toons. they are kinda scrooge with them, we can only get dozens of useless 4* if we wish to or some souls with "enhenced chances" :)

but who knows, courious to see what it will be in the end....

[Askora]

Cool guys, a couple of things I hadn't thought of. Would be nice if that 666 hinted at a continuation of the storyline, since that is currently the final battle. Don't think we'll get that lucky though.

Hopefully not too much longer. My first maiden album was Killers, so he's pretty much top of my list. If he follows suit with the other storyline Eddie's he'll only be a 3* though. Really think he should be an assassin, which would make him the 2nd 3* assassin Eddie. Not too sure that's the route they'll take. . Maybe they can make it like GRE, then he could be 5* class with a guaranteed way to obtain him.

Well, NF did make it so RTTH Eddie dropped as a 4* for newer players who beat Underworld, so I'm hoping Killers Ed will follow suit as a 4* Assassin... well, what can we do but wait?

[Sponholz]

Hi all!!!

Sorry to go a little off-topic, but since some people are talking about the 666 event, that could be related to the NotB stage, I want to know what happened to the ending of the game...

I finished the story on two accounts already, (my main and a temporary one that I made only to finish the game again) and none gave me the ending movie, popups or anything at all, was just like I have finished the level for the 100th time, no popups saying that Hard Underworld was unlockes, not a thanks for playing, basically, nothing.

Is that normal now? I remember that when you beat the game for the first time you saw the ending movie, and got all the messages.

I know is off-topic, but this issue always bothered me, more then what I would like to.



Cheers! Ed!

So, you never got the final scene? Or, got it once and unable to get it again even with a new account? If you did get it the very first time, maybe it's something with the way the game caches data. I know when I was playing two accounts on one device it did odd things. My new account would have all levels open to my barely 2* hs Eddie, and my old account (the one I still play) would get locked out of areas as though I hadn't completed the game already.

I never got the final scene, the game just went from beast defeated to cosmos, no ending, nothing.

Scenario was:
Finished on this account: got nothing, got frustrated, thought was something I did, got my wife's phone, installed the game, finished on another account, got the same result.

I had not "replayed" the stage after I beat The Beast either.

Two accounts, played on different phones, same result.

Ok, was just curious. 2nd account I never got past battlefield. Maybe helps clarify the problem to the devs as well. My playing was always the same devices, different accounts.

Appreciate the reply! I know is a minor thing, but it really bugged me.

Maybe when you get the time and the patience to finish the game on that second account, this issue can be confirmed or not.

Thanks again for the reply.

[Roberval]

hi guys
what lvl of lord of light i got these fragments?

[Roberval]

what lvl in lord of light i got this fragments?

[Ezz]

Events are fun I like them but it Feels like the game needs to shake things up with some different pvp modes or competitions?

Modes like:
multi eddies
Character class restrictions
Talisman or power move limitations
Etc

New competitions:
Monthly rewards for top cumulative point standings for the entire month
Tournament of some sort
Top tier rewards change from week to week

I still like pvp but same mode, same teams, same rewards every week is not going to keep people’s interest forever

i don't like pvp in that game, for me it is a pain to do weeks after weeks only for rewards ( it is extremely boring and a lost of time )

I wasn't going to log in again but this is such a great idea(s) that I think it should be echoed. Nothing new to add, just please implement these because they'd be excellent for PVP! Especially the tournament, multi-Eddies and limitations!

Really great ideas, Ezz!

I finished months ago.. and never saw anything special. In fact, never saw anything telling me I finished Battlefield Hard and Madness was unlocked.. or Underworld madness was unlocked, etc... nothing. And once I beat underworld madness.. absolutely nothing...

I figured those "congratulations" popups were all part of the climb to level 100... once you get to level 100.. there's no more "Congrats we've refilled stuff" screens. In fact, once you get to level 100.. you can't really expect to get any of the extra power boost or full refills of SOT/SOW ever. Level 100 is really the end of the game. Everything after that is about leveling up character or talismans, that's it

Failure to release new worlds and continue the stories has made the game have a pretty dead stop at level 100. And it seems waiting on new worlds may be futile if they've been in development since 2016.

I wish they take some good example, pointing at Diablo 3 Paragon system, that after you reach max lvl (70) you keep getting XP and boosting your stats further with the Paragon points you get.

On here you could reach lvl 100 and then every time you would lvl again (for example, lets put 1M XP needed from lvl 99 to 100, every time you gather 1M xp you get a refill, maintaining the lvl cap at 100, and just computing the XP for refills.

---------

Everyone complains about the lack of content on this game, I for instance think that this game has a lot of content to offer, I do like most of the events, (souls event, are 100% dependent of luck, so I dislike then).

What I do think this game lacks is some sort of acknowledge for the part of the devs to the players.

Here is some example:

Monarch Arena event... I lost count of how many APMA or whatever that error name is after a LOT of arena matches. I think I lost a LOT of fragments for the Snowman in the process, and the devs were all in the Silent Planet. A little good will can go a long way, like, giving 25 frags for free as a apologize for the errors.

I am playing another game, spinoff from the Final Fantasy Universe, were players were given the equivalent of $10 on in game currency as a apologize because the maintenance took longer then expected (yeah a normal maintenance, nothing special, no one would even notice the longer timeframe).

This type of things only bring the players closer to the game! not further away, giving some compensation for know issues, will just prove the goodwill of the developers and would make a LOT of players actually wanting to spend on the game.

I appreciate the info Sparton, Leviathan and Kaz give to us.

But, somethings needs to be better addressed, just like the new Apple store policy, that thing should've come from the devs since day one, for every game that involves a chance to get something, what they are so afraid of? admiting something that we all already know, that the chance for some chars are abysmal... And guess what... I think I can speak for most of the players here, we don't mind certain characters being super-rare, what would be the point of having then all so easily anyway.

Look, I know is a long post, and I am not ranting, mad, or anything like that, I'm just pointing some topics that I wish they were treated differently.

I want to have desire to play the game, for what the game and the devs are, not because is based of the Greatest Heavy Metal Band of all time! Playing with Eddies for now are enough to keep me playing, but quality of service have a great impact on long term playing.

Again, I know is a big post, please bare with me.

Appreciate that Don Slauki!

But the fact that its not available in the game anymore bugged me a little... no big tho.

Cheers! Ed.

[Yup]

.. stuff...


I'm with you... That's what I was honestly expecting after lvl 100... a refill every following pseudo-level even though there was no actual leveling up.

To be fair, in the past they have given away 150 Ironite (~$5) due to issues. But you had to be on the forums to find it.

[Liebhild]

666

=> you'll need 666 SuperLOL-soul-fragments (get 1 SuperLOL-soul-fragment / BNW battle)

with 666 SuperLOL-soul-fragments you'll get a 1% chance to get a Wolf-cultist-soul, 99% chance to get a common soul.

[Peppoah]

When will the arena event start? The next weekend is the last weekend in January?

[druid138]

When will the arena event start? The next weekend is the last weekend in January?

It seems like it has to start at the next weekly reset. I think they have all run the entire week.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I have high hopes for this one. The event name is intriguing and ambitious-sounding. We just recently had a Tier-style Arena event, so I'm thinking this one will be fragment drop based. Perhaps Maker Soul fragment drops for every win, with bonus drops given for every magus character you used in the battle? Optimistic, I know, but I've been hoping to see something like this for a long time. (And, it could explain the timing of the recent magus Eddie buffs.)

[Sponholz]

... "Perhaps Maker Soul fragment drops for every win" ...

If the event starts at the next reset, that's the same date when the Maker Souls event will end. So I don't think Maker Souls would be a part of any rewards.

For example, previous event was Xmas Souls, 3 Kings Have Arrived, which lasted until Jan 1st. The arena event lasted until Dec 30th which was in the same timeline of the main "Souls" event.

But I also would like if Maker souls were also available though arena wins. (Since I'm out of Ironite, and Toons for sacs).

Cheers! Ed.

[Amarthir]

I wouldn't be surprised if they put those maker souls in as a reward along with another "exclusive" character. One thing I dislike about the arena events these days is that only wins count, which gets difficult once you get into the top 50. Last months event was what killed my fun for a while.
