We were all n00bs at one point, and this is definitely a n00b trap.
I've got the level 40 skilled talismans to prove it... :cool:
I'm still a noob. And probably the only noob lvl100 with not 1 million in the bank. And probably have some other 'noobities' as well :p
Agreed. First thing i saw that new feature i thought to myself: Why couldn't they just grey them out?!Quote:

I personally would probably sell alot of valuable talismans thinking "this one is S#%t. the other one gives me 2 stats"....
Aaaand while i'm at it (moaning)
Why the heck did warrior Trolls slot get changed to red?! Thats just plainly stupid move...: All purple sets need 3 for the bonus. i for example used to play him with a purple+green 3 set. now im forced to use a red set (of which the 3ers are all useless). so i end up with 2 ref tals and 1 dead slot. whats the logic behind that?!!!
As for me the devs made some easy choices here - they wanted people to use more variety of talis - not just fierce and overwhelming ones - and they did brilliant job! Why reducing the stats on freezing ones or paralysis from 35% to 12%? Was THAT MUCH already? At least to me they hardly worked - I have one set of freezing installed in CG Now after reducing ALL remaining freezing and so paralysing ones was drained in bog... Who needs a talis which are supposed to work once per year? I dunno... But not me for sure... I am pitty just money and so mats spent on them...Quote:

Im not gonna waste my valuable time that i can spend educating myself on reading 83 pages about a silly update...
They're only 49 pages, and the best nowadays are the skilled ones, together with sorcery.Quote:

How are skilled and sorcery even an option. They do not give more att or magic and have no hp. A character is more powerful and survivable with the tailismans that give hp as well as att or magic. Since the amounts of att and magic are the same. Unless a toon skill works on max mr or def. but you can get the same mr or def raises from tailismans with hp on them.Quote:

So still do not see a reason for a tailisman that only provides secondary stats without hp.
And a tailisman that procs only once a fight and that doesn't effect bosses doesn't seem as usfull as focusing on whatever damage type you toon uses.
How am i wrong?
Lol, I only tried to bug our forum's mascot (nekro)...don't take that seriously :p
you're not wrong at all, and I shouldn't do this here, my bad.
Haha ok.mi wasn't mad just trying to make sure i wasn't missing something. I do want the game to be successful but am not understanding some of the logic behind the choices that are made.Quote:

I'll need 66 million now with all I have in mind upgrading, imagine these added too, i'll be 40 till I finish :cool:Quote:

- Nerfed Talismans
- To choose a Talisman is like a blind test for noob players (but we have a google spreadsheet to build characters...)
- Drop rate for Ironite is low now on secret levels
- Freeze Talisman is useless now (12% really???), in 80 SoT no freeze, nothing, nada, walou, niet, ништа, דבר, hiçbir şey, τίποτα, 沒什麼, 何も, bullshit, rien...
- LoL Dungeon is only usefull for colored 3* Evo Shards
- SE Fury is more useless than VE.
- And I'm honored to give the Darwing Awards to This DUMMY PIECE OF SHIT IA!!!
...
...
...
It's a good deal between to drop more 3* rainbow Evo Shard and 3* Rainbow Evo runes.
Whoa whoa whoa, I just saw after this post that freeze are also nerfed... Jesus Joseph and Mary... I think that's the second most used blue talisman, I have two maxed out sets, they've been of great help and now this... Nothing is sacred obviously -.-Quote:

And mandatory lowering MR is actually a huge buff for me since my main line-up is mostly magus-sentinel :DQuote:

Also, since rare souls now are really rare, I say it would be fair enough to increase the odds of getting a 4* or 5* toon. Now they can be obtained only by buying, secret locations or trooper badges, so just imagine how frustrating is to get a "rare" soul and getting a 3* Dog of War for the 564x time... It's really frustrating, expecially for players like me that don't have a premium toon.
Not sure what's going on but every time I try to purchase a gunner soul. It says purchase fail. Can someone tell me why this is happening.
Because I'm half French half Serbian :PQuote:

So what's the time line for:
SACRIFICE
More space in general
Eddies
New content
And ugg PvP
One question: will the rng on rare souls be adjusted because the drop rates on rare souls seems to be non existent.
Thanks for all y'alls hard work!
Completely agree. I can see colored evo shards being the bottleneck now – I guess there’s always something. I ran 80 sands in LoL 8 & 9 and didn’t get any colored evo shards. I ran 80 sands this morning in Battlefield > Kill Time > Madness and got 5 3* rainbow evo shards.Quote:

I went in with Pharaoh Eddie, Allied General, Warrior Troll, CR Eddie and Soldier Eddie (all 5*s and maxed talismans) and lost 3 times!
I'm sure I can rotate other characters and figure out how to win without revives, but this is kind of ridiculous. That's a decent team, and I don't know how newbies are going to beat him as they probably won't have their characters developed like that when the face him.
Unless your goal is to force ironite revive spending to defeat him, you may want to dial him back a bit :)
I've tried to beat the beast several times - Samurai/Pharaoh/CR along with Alliance General and Corrupt General
Always have to revive - typically once, so one of these days I'll beat it, but a new team won't have a chance
Still, even if you revive six times, you've technically made it through it, and that's what newbies will do
After so many people complaining here - especially the ones that got this update earlier - I was a bit scared and tried to farm as much as possible because the madness level seem to be unbeatable and so on.
They talked so much bullshit. Maybe their characters weren't build balanced so they got effected really hard and they don't have any plan b.
But for me this update is great! I could get so many rainbow shards that from earlier stand point "who will be worthy every few months to be the next chosen one to have 5 stars" to the new stand point "I just leveled one up to 5 stars and soon there will be more" now my problem shifts to a luxury problem that I have not enough time to play all of them fast enough to level 100 until the next (few) will be on 5 stars as well. What I also really like is the list of the changelog with all detailed effects and where what rune will drop and so on. Got me so much faster to all the things I was waiting for weeks or months. Great job from the developers! I really like it! - I would have posted this earlier, but I don't have time left besides working and playing LOTB ;)
You come off as rude but maybe it's the way I read your post. But anyways the game is way harder then it use to be. And I understand why people like myself complain about the update. Bcuz after months of getting use to the game and liking certain parts about it.The developers decided to change the whole platform of the game that was uncalled for. Not just the little changes like the drop rates that needed to be fix. But things that were never a main issue. And as far as the game goes currently it's ok with the drop rate improvement. But other then that i don't think I need to congratulate or praise the developers for doing something that should have been done along time ago.
Ok we need more mods. These spam bots are out of control.
I think they should be congratulated, as it wasn't their mess. They're cleaning up the mess of the old devs. Also, the changes to the character's and talismans may not have seemed necessary to you, but think of it this way: would you rather have this happen now so you can play around with new combinations and teams to find the most effective ones, or would rather they made these changes on the day pvp is released (when you imply it would be necessary)? If these changes happened at the same time as pvp you wouldn't know just how much your favorite characters were affected and would be at a huge disadvantage.Quote:

Right, exactly. From the start, I've been leveling up various characters and changing up the combinations of them with other characters and seeing how things work out. When a character reaches maximum (for now) level, I put it to the side and work with a new one. I target having 3 characters leveling up in any sort of battle when possible plus one borrowed trooper. At least several times a week I find combinations that work fantastic in specific situations, and of course ones that don't work all that well.Quote:

Now I'm comfortable with putting money into this because it's NOT the game it was, a game where players without work and way too much time on their hands could load up with a couple of talisman types that were far too overpowered as well as a few characters that were OP as well, and those same players just hit auto-play without any thought of balanced characters and other sets of them for varying situations. It would have really sucked to have that lame crap going on in PvP.
Now it's a game with much more depth and people need to break out of a single tactic to play well.
There are 2 big problems for me now after the update:
No more 1*, 2* and 3* red evo runes, they never drop, never !!!!
The 3* coloured evo shards, they almost never drop too !!!!
Someone know where I can find those things ????
Yes, I run Battlefield madness on the stage "fighting spirits" and consistently get both 3* evo runes (rainbow) and 3* evo shards (rainbow). They drop very often.Quote:
