BUT, I think I may have figured out why many players are reporting weaker characters that devs say have NOT been nerfed and why some can no longer complete levels that used to be quickly, easily auto farmed. Auto farming is producing substantially less damage output than manual playing is. I tested the same level with the same characters and the damage difference is substantial. Not sure how that works, but that's something to check into.

Big issues as we don't want frustration and more toil of grinding as we "patiently" wait for new content. Thanks!

You are definitely on to something here, and it's not the simple perfect hits vs good hits. Why would they do that though? Is it unintended? It seems like max skill sharded characters act like they have zero skill shards used while on autofarm. None of my characters that have no skill shards used on them play any different on auto though. Talk about weird bugs.

If they use a compiler of some sort, they should experiment with not using it for a few updates to see if it cuts down on the bugs. My experience with them is that they cause more issues than they do to help to save space.

Agree! It's like to take pieces of a house to build an other one.

XP Rune drops seem to be a little better now. I suspected for a few days already that I've been getting a few 4* runes in bunches of 3 in Underworld Madness, but today confirms it. That said, 2x 4* rune drops aren't gone from UW Madness yet

HOWEVER, I tested my blue soldier on Game of Death Madness again, and he's hitting the Assassin Soulless Demon and Gunner CotD for 4300ish on a Perfect. This used to be 5800ish damage. Last time I did a check like this was 16 November: http://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/sh...ll=1#post23289

So for some unknown reason, my blue soldier does 1000 less damage to those targets than he used to. For some strange reason, he still does 3800ish to the blue dice though.

No. I've been at end game a long time and all I do (until there is new content) is autoplay EXCEPT for the last two secret locations (madness) just to be safe. And I actually lost a battle (had to revive) on the easy underworld secret location last night. Unheard of.

Also other battles that were quick are now taking a long time and some are risky. Should not be the case. At first I thought it was enemies had been built up higher until I compared damage output. Something is amiss.

I think this must be a bug. Mine has no skill shards yet and hits almost the same...

I just found one bug:
The dungeon countdown that is supposed to show the time until the next dungeon opens is counting up on me.
I was thrown out, dungeon expired 3 hours ago, with 9hours supposedly remaining. Now it's 12 hours remaining until it reopens...
Please fix!

Slang: "to fuck it up"?

AoF is doing a lot less damage.
A couple of weeks ago I tested SE+AoF (+empty slot) in Matter of Life and Death (madness) and got a 100% victory on 10 attempt, today I lost three out of five with SE+AoF+5*trooper (sorry guys :( ).

To be honest I felt AoF was OP, but the nerf seems a bit too much like that.

Another idea of mine for the lack of skill shards and all the dupes (I know Sacrifice is comin' since forever) that all summoned souls should have their skill levels randomized. E.g. when I summon my 6th Sentinel Soulless I could have him with his skills already at level 3 or 4. This could not fix the 16 shards spent then nerfed to crap issue though.

Play it manually and see if your results are like they used to be. I'm curious to see if others can confirm my theory.
