Hi Sparton, could you explain to me about the skill "take" of Visions Eddie?Quote:

Where is steal? Or maybe back to old one, no steal but 50% to remove beneficial effects.
It isn't, already got the VHE and another Viking.Quote:

Wow Nicko, are the drop rates for the Immortal Soul fragments really that good? Which levels are the best...8-10 are a pain because of the 8 SoT cost...Quote:

Droprate went from great to suspicious though (at least on my funny luck) ... In the beginning I got either nothing (rare) or 15 fragments on LoL X. No I get a lot of 0 and several 10 fragments on LoL X. Started putting the numbers in a sheet now as I think the drops were a lot better at start. And tbh - it wouldn't surprise me - as great as this event is - if there is some monkey business involved ...Quote:

If you guys had a skill shard event, people would go nuts.
Same here, never had 5* Eddies beside GRE until today. That plus Wrath = me harppy :D As for skill shards. I would take days off and grind all the time :DQuote:

Sparton, would it be possible to take a second look at the G/A rewards for sacrifice? They're incredibly underwhelming compared to the regular rare soul rewards where people have received 50 souls for one sacrifice. The G/A soul reward should be similar to the rare soul reward, but not equal. As it stands, G/A souls are actually the WORST reward you can receive from the higher tier sacrifices. Please look into upping the amount that are rewarded if you can. I'm pretty sure all of us veteran players would rather receive 50 rare souls than 4 G/A rare souls. :\

Sorry troopers ...
oh man, tritium. :D You are a great trooper of mine but I gotta say, sparton took you for a spin and left you out to dry.Quote:

Also, is the timer for the red talisman power up pack that says it expires in 6h intended?
Just had case that NoL in LoL X killed its allie when he revenged on my void shields, my controls disappeared and could do nothing but stand there. Since the killed allied was also a NoL I suspect it was to counter attack next and since it couldn't do that the game broke. (Sorry, Kardas)
In regards to g/a souls from sacrifice rewards: I too find them very underwhelming. Just because of a single instance of luck it doesn't disproves that the expected reward from them it is suprisingly low considering the tier of the sacrifice. If we are going by annecdotal evidence: I got 4 g/a souls from a vortex yesterday, all 3* dupes fodder - then again the legendary soul from it was the third to give me Magus golden Son, but that at least gives more essence to to spin the wheel again.
Edit: Almost forgot - the bug where it selects the wrong stack of Souls in the book of Souls is still there. Just accidentally opened 99 instead of 2. (One 3* in a 99 stack has to be a record by the way)
Am i the only one who still has the starter pack available for purchase? It's supposed to go away in 48 hours but its been here for the last year!
@ Sparton and all the LotB team:
Guys you really killed it this 2 last days!
After my little disapointement of the last update with the 20k ic eternity soul and the prisoner's passive bug, you fixed that really fast (prisoner) and you makes an event where everyone can get great rewards (and whitch rewards can be better than the most rare Eddies?)
Really really good event! Thank you very much for this!
I hope there will have other events like this one ! -- this fragments soul feature is very good (in the event and in the arena )
Totally agree with DJE...awesome event, though man I am burnt out trying to get fragments for just two souls. Not sure how people were able to grind LoL to get 5+ souls, wow, respect to them indeed...wonder if thy even slept these past two nights, lol!
Thanks again Spartan and the LoTB team...well done and very much appreciated! Now if you can only give me a Cyborg Eddie, I will send you a check in the mail, haha!
Haha, somehow I knew you were going to quote that post. :p I got incredibly lucky. That doesn't change the fact that the G/A rewards for sacrifice are underwhelming. We don't even end up getting 1/3 of the souls that you'd get with a rare soul reward. 4 G/A rare souls vs. 50 rare souls. I'd choose the 50 rare souls any day over 4 G/A rare souls. The odds of getting lucky greatly increase the more souls you have.Quote:

Please let whoever came up with the idea know that we've all appreciated his/her creativity here, and the team's efforts to make that idea become a reality! Keep up the awesome work! The game continues to head in the right direction. :)
I can neither confirm nor deny while I'm at home (holiday today where we're at) and don't have access to my work bug tracking system :PQuote:

Proooooobably not, I'll pass that along.Quote:

For newer players, any soul that can give higher rarities is great, but especially with sacrifice allowing you to "trade up" bulk amounts of 1 star and 2 star characters into Rare Souls, the rarer Gunners and Assassins are more often what people will be searching for as their collections are more and more complete.Quote:

Even if you don't value Gunner/Assassin souls as much right now, at some point you'll probably find that there's far more from them that you want than from the regular souls, so we expect that yes, even one Rare Gun/Assassin Soul will mean far more than 10 Rare Souls (assuming you're trying to complete your collection of characters). No amount of Rare Souls will help you get something like a Gunner Corrupt Rescuer, or a Prisoner, or an Aces High Eddie... unless the fodder from those lets you get Rare Gun/Assassin Souls from sacrifice. The the only exceptions are event souls (which obviously are not always around) and Legendary Souls, which still are very likely to give you non-Gunner, non-Assassin characters.
tl;dr Rare Souls have a 0% chance of directly giving you a Gunner or Assassin, and as a collection of characters approaches completion, those are almost certainly most or all of what's left to find, and thus the value proposition changes over time.
Yeah, that is known; use all will try to pull equal to the max of a stack size or all that you have, whichever is lower.Quote:

Hey Sparton! I know u said this won't be ez to accomplish but we really need some more character slots. Especially with all these new toons. I mean hell, I'm even saving the sacrificial hearts & gold idols. In case u don't read my other post, thx to all u guys/girls at Nodding Frog for this incredible & unexpected event!!!
I understand your reasoning behind it now. I guess the reason why most of us prefer the horde of rare souls is due to the essence value that 50 3*+ toons provide, which leads to more skill shards.Quote:

This bug hates me. :p
Note to anyone: If you want easy points from me, just put as many toons who use 3-tap basic attacks or power skills in your team as possible. ;)
A server push just went out. Nothing major here; it's primarily there to support the hot fix app store update which is coming.
One thing that is fixed in the Resistance/Resilience talisman set effect descriptions: these now correctly describe the set effect they provide instead of being swapped for each other.
The Resistence Set still not displaying the correct amount of defense. Just Like Iron and Stone Sets.Quote:

That's way too overpriced espacially if we take RNG into account. While i can understand, that you want to keep the players chasing some characters, getting 2 g/a souls from a very rare level 6 sacrifice is basicly a slap in the face. Approx. 10 g/a souls seem more reasonable because then they are five times more valuable then normal ones, seems more fair to me.Quote:

Hope the next event will come soon and bring us some skillshards for the eddies.
I dunno man, anybody get the feeling this shit's predetermined??? I mean I was blown away to get those 50 souls but kinda figured I'd get garbage & I did (aside from the 9000 essence), two 4☆s. Not even sure they were from the 50 as I had 3 others. Yet look at what Trit got for 2 rare g/a's??? Almost like u get what u pay 4! Again..RNG my ass, or it's RNG & something else!Quote:

would like to bring up a point nicko stated before the event, that didn't get enough attention i feel. can someone excplain why visions was nerfed while wrath was intoduced? wrath has this insane basic move that removes 75% of all buffs (100% with accuracy --> hi ringe666 :P ) and hits like a truck as we all know. does someone else consider this to be problematic? i think this is much too badass at this state of the game.
there should be a way to counter buff removes i feel. something like a passive or a talisman that prevents from stealing/removing buff from your teammates.
OTOH i thought that defense hold might be 0% without this uber chars. but again wrath is too much even taking this argument into consideration.
My last Class VI sacrifice gave me 3 G/A souls - all 3* dupes - that did feel a bit low. But a Vortex fill gave me 5 Legendary souls - though only 4*s out of it. At least I got some new toons ...Quote:

My last vortex fill gave me a few skill shards, 6 rare G/A souls and no legendary souls. Got only 3* chars from the souls. Really hit the lower end of the reward spectrum there.Quote:

I know that it doesn't really look fair for me to defend him since I have him but just wanted to make this little comparison. I am eager as much as all of you to hear dev's word on this topic. Btw, that def is not even close to great, it's mediocre, and will be worse over time...Quote:

If he will improve your tactics (I doubt it, you are already great), whether on attack or defense, chase him. If no, there is no harm in waiting and collecting skill shards for him when he comes, or for some other toon you think might help you. Simple as that :D \m/Quote:
