March Event Teaser Discussion

[Sparton_LOTB]

A view into the events for this month! Feel free to discuss and speculate here.

[Amarthir]

Huh, I like the artwork for this month's events.

Lilith's Arrival sounds very enticing. I don't know anything about her in Iron Maiden lore, perhaps someone could show me the way. But since the name Lilith usually has to do with vampires, well there are a few movie vampires that are typically named Lilith, I could take a stab at her being an Assassin, maybe even a 5* Assassin. Hopefully obtaining her won't be difficult.

Dream of Ironite is a new and wacky sounding event, I haven't really spent any ironite for a while now but if it involves getting more ironite without a hassle then I'm all for it, good for everybody.

Philosopher's Altar, another Sacrifice event, so probably more or less just get a tier 6 or more and maybe you'll get some souls that could get you someone smart.

Assassin Hellhound Fragment Event, meh we'll just wait and see what the dog comes with, but a chance to get some extra dupes is alright with me.

Up the Irons Arena Event, well it's another arena event. Can't think of anything to add there, the rewards could be anything.

[druid138]

Oh Holy Mother! When I saw this teaser, the first thing that came to mind was a line from Heaven Can Wait:

"This isn't real; this is only a dream"

Lilith?! I never saw that coming, but damn that is so awesome! I don't believe there are any explicit Maiden references to her (please correct me if I'm wrong), but there are plenty of close connections via Lucifer and John Dee and Crowley. And, some traditions associate Lilith with Babalon, the Red Goddess (see Moonchild). In any case, my non-LotB plans during this event are now cancelled.

And, an Assassin Hellhound. Very nice choice! The Warrior Hellhound has some of the best art in the game and is a huge sentimental favorite of mine. Unfortunately, the recent metas have left him behind. I hope the new Assassin version is able to find a place in the Arena.

[slauki]

five events seem very lowendish to me. i fear a booooooring march coming, hope that i'm wrong...

but a dream of ironite sounds awesome...awesome like cyborg monday (we will never forget) :p

[MoonShadow]

Hmm, (at least) two new characters in the game this month, one being another dog... we have so many dogs here and we definitely needed another. :) But, since I can't even think of a good decent set-up for the Arena (offense and/or defense), some new dog power could be a good thing.

I don't have a clue about Lilith, she could be the step-sister of Wrath and together they will tore our defenses apart.

Philosopher sacrifice event might be something related to Mystic Eddie or another new char, but that seems too improbable, at least I hope that is something related to that Eddie, as I often don't have any luck after sacrifice events.

[blade685]

i'm currious to see if Assassin Hellhound is not another useless toon like his warrior brother ( good before not now)
Perhaps not another month with nothing good for me :)

[edsel]

we all must love the free play for the gardens, they cost too damn much to farm and this rare treat allows us cheapos to rack up coin and get rare talismans that are not worth spending 15 sot a run to get at the low drop rate. just finished my fourth set of immortals thanks to the last garden spree. Really useful to add this to the monthly roster, the Frog server was overloaded towards the end of the last one barely operating due to player traffic. MORE FREE GARDENS

rare talismans not available anywhere else is cool like the Steel, but with the skull quests being so limited in play, they were really not giving a chance to play for them, instead we had to pay for them

[GotN]

I was really electrified from this new teaser. Great artwork! And some great headlines.
Lilith sounds very vampiric. Maybe an assassin char that kicks VHEs butt 😆
Second event to gain ironite. Always good!
I also think that we don’t need another dog in this game and this one may be like many other chars, yeah cool I have it in my inventory but never use it, but let’s see...
Other two like the name already says. Philosopher‘s Altar could be for a new char, but really don’t know what this could be. Last event sounds great ofc and hopefully it will be like that when it’s named THE maxim of Iron Maiden!
Looking very forward to this month \m/

[Reeb99]

Up the Irons, does this mean increased Iron Coins? I could use that for sure, need those talisman sets.

[GotN]

When does this event start? After reset, nothing.

[blade685]

When does this event start? After reset, nothing.

not for today, i think it will be tomorrow

[MoonShadow]

not for today, i think it will be tomorrowHmm, I thought that it will start today, as tomorrow seems more improbable, I can't remember now a event that was started before saturday Arena reset. But, will see, there are 5 events and this month has 4 weeks. I'm starting to be curious about the Arena event, with that name I expect some special prizes, maybe? :o

[slauki]

i think the next event will be somewhat bigger, so it might start after the update goes live next week.
i would like it a lot if we could get some exact dates for the events if possible.

The official LotB Facebook page has a photo with dedicated art to announce the game’s Japanese release. Bottom right corner, red female demon...

Another image of Lilith from Arena release. Picture from the news page of this site...

[Askora]

Nice find in the artwork, but don't see a name on her so red female demon could be Lilith. Or, could be red female demon. :D

[MoonShadow]

Well, if that red female demon proves to be Lilith, she could be the step sister of Wrath, then. :D

[reaverfx24]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith_in_popular_culture

Have a read of the wiki page, there's loads of examples of what Lilith could eventually be. Definitely seems to be leaning towards a vampire/demon character therefore very likely to be a new Assassin.

[Yup]

Could be either female in that artwork.. there's one on the left and one on the right.. both not currently in the "game" as far as I know.

[Ironstyle]

Lilith or not, that character will forever be known on the forum as RFD.

[MetalKing]

Question: are events usually held in the order that they appear on the teaser? I'm hoping the ironite event is before lillith. I'm wanting to try her on a team with lady azov, and clairvoyant if I manage to acquire her.

I believe they've all been in order, with the exception of last month (No more dismay was out of order). Not sure if that was an exception to the rule, or a new thing they've decided to try.

[satani]

well, i don't know if you can count these Garden-Events in order, as they are a one-day-only event and always at the same time with another event still going.
I was actually hoping the events would have started on friday, but now i'm glad it's not today either, because i'm busy going to a local concert, so i wouln't have time, if it were a bigger event. (comparing to last months event, i expect lilith arrival being the longer/bigger event here, too, while dream of ironite could be a one-day-event which runs at the same time as maybe the sacrifice event.
I'm hoping to get a new eddie this month, but mostly look forward to lillith beign a hell of a toon.

[Sick]

Where’s Lilith?

[Amarthir]

Where’s Lilith?

I'm sure she'll come with the next update, which means any time from Monday to Friday

[slauki]

booooooooooooooooooooooring march so far :p
without events this game is really a pain for me, okay i played this for long enough, so i'm not the perfect example but prolly most of us feel the same...

No idea what you are talking about. Playing Powerslave 50 times a day is so exiting.

[slauki]

let's do some math to create some more exitement :p

24 hours give you 288 sot - 33 for the sq = 255 are left for the cosmos
so you have 3,2 full sot circles per day. with one full sot cycle you can play approx 29 rounds of powerslave (with sot drops), have tested this several times. so 3,2*29 = 93 rounds of powerslave every day if you use all your sot...this is just awesome, or maybe we are all just compulsive morons ;)

A great solution= x10 game speed and auto repeat that picks a random trooper and keeps playing without you having to press a button.

But the second part would be great.

[Yup]

Just let me add 2 trooper Eddies... that's all.. cuts trooper badge time in half.

Oh it would be nice to NOT have to.. tap the victory screen... tap the rewards screen... tap the replay button..... tap the battle button.

Victory screen should last 3 seconds and auto-forward to rewards.... rewards lasts 3 seconds and auto-forwards to replay. Ht Replay and the same level is run again as if you hit the [battle] button rather than requiring you to see the team screen.. then tap the battle button.

I agree it's a bit of a boring start, but if not for the trooper grind taking so long it's kind of nice to have a little break once in a while. FB page said early this week, so maybe Monday in LoL.

yeah i expect monday or tuesday too, i belive this is the longest streak with no events we ever had, since they started them regulary....for me this is too much of a break, although i agree every day an event would be way too much...

Yeah I've gotten so used to there being events it feel strange to not have one going on. Well when the new content eventually rolls out then maybe the events will take a break while we enjoy it.

[GotN]

Please devs can we get an answer when Liliths Arrival will be launched (like asked already some days ago)? Reset here is at 1 am and I can’t stay up every day that long to see if it’s on. Thank you very much!

[MoonShadow]

Maybe they're gonna push the update along with the events for this month. In the preliminary thread, they've said that they aim for a early march update, who knows. OTHO, I'm ok with the delay of this month's events, so I can play the arena a bit more than usual, when there are some events around, and cash some iron coins (damn, they are so hard to earn, so good defense teams lately!).

[Fudjo]

I'm kinda liking the break in the action. It's given me some time to assess my inventory of toons and talismans, make some adjustments, do some normal grinding for odds 'n ends.

This (https://youtu.be/NUvldcUw_nE) Lilith (I presume) teaser video was just posted to LotB's YouTube channel.

So will she get her own dungeon? Or will she substitute for Lord of Light, so he can take a vacation?

I just came across it on their fb page and first thing I thought was Lord of Light as well. Maybe reset today we'll know.

Honestly it reminds me of Lord of Light in drag lol.

[slauki]

i just hope she won't simply replace the lord of light. what would be the point there, we need new content not just retuning of old one. but let's wait and see. at least some exitement was created.

[Askora]

Someone asked on the fb page if she would be playable and they replied yes.

[JJJ428]

Maybe to fill Thursday and Friday lord of light?

[reaverfx24]

[QUOTE=JJJ428;67643]Maybe to fill Thursday and Friday lord of light?[/QUOTE

Best idea so far! ]

[Askora]

Okay, now really boring March. Maybe Lilith is 'Coming Soon!' the same was as Night City.

[JJJ428]

Usually after a trailer video can expect things the next day so I am guessing we should be getting incoming maintence tomorrow followed by the beginning of this event

[Yup]

nahh... wait until Friday I say :)

[slauki]

i bet 50 ironite on today :)

[satani]

so since the video was out yesterday evening, i expect/hope for the maintenance to come this late afternoon (german time).
For the video itself: if this is going to be lilith!? well ... i'd rather had a red female humansize demon (like the one in the PVP/Japan graphics) but new characters are new characters. Plus sure she looks like a female lord of light and the dungeon also looks similar, but the fact that there is "only" eddie gunning/running for her, i assume, this could be the gauntlet mode?
Well, let's wait and see. I saved up some amounts of ironite, because i expect special/event souls coming in store, too.

[Amarthir]

I was also kind of hoping for the red demon woman to be Lilith but I'll take what I can get. I highly doubt it would be Gauntlet judging by the "still kinda far away" responses we get from the devs.

More than anything I'm hoping it comes out as a fragment event or the like where she's guaranteed. We'll see.

[Sick]

What’s up devs. Any problems? I doubt that you intended to launch the events that late.

[Bradata]

I think you might be right, it's awfully quiet. I guess some things didn't work as intended :rolleyes:

don't worry guys i'm very sure it's coming soon :p

[MoonShadow]

Just encountered an in-game message sayin' that the servers will go into maintenance... ;)

jep, so ~3 hours to go.

[T-Man]

So the last event of the month is an Arena event. Up The Irons. This has to be for iron coins which will help with relic (or other arena store) purchases. Hope NF is feeling generous. ;)

That would be a great event, like if we got double iron coin rewards or something,

[JJJ428]

I have been waiting for other people to mention this I am thinking other purchases with iron coins along with greater reward for iron coins for every win. Also thinking this is when they might up the top prizes for the arena I thought sparton or kaz mention them doing that soon.
