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.
Just a heads up; due to some last minute polishing we wanted to do for the Relics, they will not be immediately available when the update goes live.
I don’t have an exact timeline, but it’ll hopefully not be too long before that becomes available for everyone to access. Save your Iron Coins!
Kinda glad the Relics aren't ready as I burned all my coins on Sunday. Gives me a week to save up!
Sparton I wanted to see since it wasn't answered in the other thread, has the ability to reduce the time of golden buffs been addressed in this update or is that still being looked into? Thanks.
I'll also need some time to save up my iron coins. So is there some sort of limit to the number we can have active at any given time? Or could we stack multiples of the same relic?
This is a known issue. I do not have a timeline for a fix on that at this time.Quote:

This is the longest update ever!!! 1:30 hours and still not running. Come on.
900 Ironite (saved not bought) - 10 pack and as always getting nonsense ...
combined wit the talismans from Garden of Frust - I wouldn't call them rare - I'd call them non existing ... I'm not spending one more cent in this game ... still playing it as a habit running on side running troopers apart from that it sucks ...
after 2 years of playing I am still missing AoF and Nomad ... those "rare" talismans ... GFOY ... I don't need that f*cking red dog ...
See my post in the latest big tittie character thread (Lilith). This is why transparency is good. If people don’t have the truth and information they assume the worst.Quote:

Brave New World sucks ass - boring long fights with no rewards - Arena with this little reward for lower ranks is not even worth looking at ... I do 1 fight a day to get the reward - don't even care if I lose or win ...
@Jofer16 ... good to have the king of arena have a say in this ... you are still a bit too much for my taste but I respect you a lot and your opinion ;)
I am in this game from start - honestly from start - been in Arena from start with a VPN. Still missing AoF and Nomad. I also spent money on this game - not 100s or 1000s - as much as you would spend for a computer game. I think in total 60-70$. I appreciate your advice to look for troopers having talis but I think after that amount of time I should have them in my inventory myself.Quote:

Thanks bud, yeah I’m an acquired taste lol. Too real for some. And this has been the main point of all of us that quit, the community around the actual band here is AMAZING. If the devs could realize that and throw a bone every now and then, fix the glaring issues and stop pumping out oops meta changes and new toons we’d have something special here. I tend to think according to long term goals, not short sighted. Guess that’s where myself and the dev team differ. Got a little gas left in my LotB tank so I’ll stay at it for you players to bring these concepts to light. Cheers!Quote:

They prolly thought I might be coming back soon, Navigator is the ghost of Jofer afterall. Sailing the seas of Miami for all eternity, the ancient mariner.Quote:

Relics are a nice addition for sure, but I will have to wait and see how its going to be, I suppose that it's going to be a mandatory item for success on several modes, and depending on the rarity/price of then I can see a P2W pattern forming here.
Arena will change like a LOT when some players with lots of resources unlock the relics, and then the gap will be too far for some to try and get close, so I also can see a lot of players just quitting in a not so-far future.
Just a heads up to you NF...
Anyway, I'm am a pretty more casual now (Don't worry my beloved Troopers, still gonna play you all everyday, the community of this game is one of the, if not the, best one I have encountered while playing a game), the hype for this game is not the same anymore. I love this game, for real. But I can't be the only one worried about this changes.
Cheers, Ed.
Trading will never ever open up as that would void the "concept" ... well I still call it fraud for the people paying for souls ...Quote:

Totally agree, not necessary change.Quote:

As for whether or not you could classify them as p2w, it'll depend on the iron coin pricing. Don't forget that there will be other ways of getting them soon enough.
Say it isn't so. Navigator is the farming master. Farming just got more painful it seems. :(Quote:

This is a bad joke right? Surely they wouldn't CRIPPLE Navigator like this..... Why make Navigators default attack the FUTURE BASIC instead of the PRESENT BASIC like the other Eddies? I mean don't all Eddies default to the Present Basic as the primary attack?
took 4 hours.. but finally got in.
All of then involving Ironite, either by direct purchase or refills. (I really doubt that when Relic show up on the Arena store, that most of us won't use a lot of refills to get then, cause I have a feeling they won't be cheap, and I sadly an not a Iron Coin hoarder, I still have some talis to buy and complete the sets, so I will probably burn my Ironite to ger refills)Quote:

But if they make this game even more grindy... (And with really game changing items), Then, yeah sadly I can see a lot of layer leaving for the also good alternatives, DFFOO as an example.
Relics for the first look at it will be an OP thing to have for sure, Just imagine a defense team with +70% HP (I know, that some relics will *probably* not work inside the Arena, but my point stands).
Cheers, Ed.
Attention Apple Players:
The new 4.6 update is taking much longer than expected to propagate across the App Store. We have decided to release maintenance mode regardless so everyone can still play!
The game should function normally, though you may notice some minor ability issues should you pull one of the new Lilith characters. These issues will be resolved as soon as you are able to download the 4.6 update from the Apple store. We anticipate that this update should propagate fully some time in the next few hours.
Rofl. I. Literally. Will. Never. Learn. With this game. I’ve not been playing really, so built up 1092 ironite. I KNEW I shouldn’t buy the ten pack. I’m an almost Day One player, but, I wanted Lilith. I caved and bought the ten pack....... wait for it.... ALL 3 STAR SHIT WEEDS. Ffs. 900 ironite, and not even one 4*. Jesus.
Edit: 900 ironite would be $30 bucks. I bought Dragon Age Inquistion AND Assasin’s Creed Black flag for less than $30 bucks. Witcher 3, which is MASSIVE, was $29.99 with the DLC. I can’t get a 4* char for $30???????
Nupe. I’m done. Cheers.

So this is the third update of the year and no changes yet for the trooper usage's time issue? Thought it was supposed to be the focus at the start of the year according to the state of nation 2018. This is my biggest frustration from this game
Relics seems like a cool addition
more characters = more bugs
navigator changes are totally unnecessary.
Also the team selection seems to be more bugged. The tabs are gone and the team revert back to the first selection you made; it doesn't save changes.
So question about relics in the arena. Will they only affect my attacking team or will my defense team have the relic effects as well? If defenses don’t I can see good hold rates dropping below 5% in the long run.
Another pay for crap event! I hate it.
yes, it seems like. I also hate this kind of events.Quote:

Speed of Light Eddie's Leech got waay broken. Now it heals all enemies.
Cool! That's a new surprise addition: traitors. :DQuote:

By the way, congratulations devs on living out your adolescent sex fantasies on a female toon once more. I guess your office was running low on tissues while you did the drafts.
...and it's even worse, after this update, if I want other Eddie & allies when running Cosmos missions, I have to manually change them after each battle, as the system seems to recall every time the team I was last using yesterday, before the update.
This is extremely annoying, as I use Cosmos missions to upgrade some new allies, and it's impossible to change the allies every single battle!!! :(
this one really hurts and i agree, it's a sign of complete disrespect. me and others are fighting for more than a year for faster farming possibilites, and they change the best farming toon of all time for no reason. it's like saying fuck you to all customers. powerslave takes on average 15-25 seconds more. so let's say 20 seconds for 90 rounds per day = 1800 seconds = 30 minutes...if it's only 15 seconds it's still 22.5 minutes...screw this...Quote:

Great relics aren’t directly buyable but unless you play Arena a lot I think you’ll be left behind.
Trying to play all my SoW a day is too much of a chore for me. Getting enough IC to purchase items is already a challenge. Far too many options and not enough ways to earn Iron Coins. Looks like I’ll have to decided between relics and Skill Shards.
Any idea when update is going fully live for IOS users?
Mine has just happened just now on IOS.
Sadly I have to echo the thoughts of others on Navigator. I had to step in while playing AMOLAD as he nearly cost me a loss with the bad choice in attacks, a saving grace was that I was leveling a Bastion who used his power move to heal despite having the skill sealed. :rolleyes: So a bug worked out for me at least.
The bigger problem for me with Navigator is I've been using him on defense with reasonable success, doubt that will continue so now have to build a new defense.
While I appreciate the buff to the Gunner Mayan Priestess as I use her quite a bit on my offense, the fact that she can no longer revive anyone means that my offense is broken as well.
So, for me the update is a fail. Navigator AI is broken, gunner mayan priestess power skill is broken and not sure the relics are going to be a big plus. As others have noted on the relics it makes a bigger gap between players and not sure how toons having considerably more hp, etc. is going to speed up arena.
