I feel like Pharoah is going to dominate the arena, as he's one of the only Eddie's that's going to survive a first turn by the opponent. Same with visions Eddie. My samurai sadly, is going to have a rough time if he doesn't attack first. I don't feel soldier Eddie is going to be a meta character, same with all the blue eddies.
Visions will be powerful imo, his stun while not so useful in pve cod possibly win you many games in pvp!
Its bad cuz if he dies your whole team dies, but that is not a rule in pvp, lets say red bat, nomad and a child of the damned... Visions uses his fury, he gets stunned for 2 and enemies for 1, then get an enemy low and kill one of your oponnent's chars with the COTD, everyone gets an extra turn and You kill someone else with COTD and hit one of the two last standing with COTD, then after your turn ends it doesnt cuz u stunned your oponnent's team!!! OP (and i think visions would get 1 less stun duration if he gets an extra turn that makes his fury even more powerful!
A good way for PvP to be fair would be to give 1 turn for 1 character to each player at a time (unless they have a skill that grants extra turns).
For example, my team of Mummy Eddie, assassin golden son, and sentinel demon vs. a samurai eddie with 2 children of the damned (warrior). Golden son attacks first, then a child of the damned from opposing team attacks and kills my golden son and gets an extra turn, attacking my Mummy Eddie. Next, it's my Mummy's turn. Etc.
Not sure how complicated that would be, but it would certainly (in my opinion) be more interesting than battles that end in 1 turn.
I don't know. Just throwing an idea out there.
But there are ways around him...Quote:

Beating a Pharoah and negating his fury isn't hard, but then you've got to carve through that 50k HP... Samurai can do it, but it's going to take two or three turns and he has to be able to survive the first round to get defensive buffs up ->which isn't easy.Quote:

I'm hoping that a new Eddie (Trooper?) becomes a PvP monster as I don't have any of the premium Eddies since I seem to attract only PDKs when I hit the jackpot on a rare soul..........
I wish trooper eddie is be good, i need a good eddie, i only have soldier which is not that goodQuote:

Can't wait, but I don't think we know when that will be yet. Just the tuning update that is coming later this week (at the earliest), right? I think new content (at least PVP) will be in the update after that if I understood Sparton correctly.Quote:

I know that Eddies are rare and exclusive on purpose, yet if there's be a chance to get any of them even 3* and have a chance to evolve them - that would keep me busy and be great. Thanks :)
I thought of that too... Give me rare Eddies even 1*... It would be my pleasure to upgrade and evolve them from zero to hero :D
Kind of a rant.
I actually thought about getting eddies at 1* but if that were the case then they wouldn't be rare everyone would have them. I have been reading allot of posts with some great ideas but if I was able to get all the toons right away or have every toon be powerful the game would be too easy and boring. I like that you have to work to get a powerful toon and I do thing that some toons should be better then others. If you spend the time farming or get lucky it should be special that you got a great toon. In pvp in each meta there is always going to be a certain make up that will dominate for a while. The only way to make pvp "fair" is for everyone to have the exact same toon pool like in chess. This game is rng based meaning luck and playtime play a large role in the strength of a players team. The rng is really bad on toon draws out of 100 rare souls turned in at once I got 14 green allied soldiers and 12 corrupt owl cultists that's allot of dupes of the same toon out of 100 shards. So when you do get rare toon it should stand out. I want the game not to be easy but challenging and I want skill and effort to play a role in pvp. I believe that is what the devs are trying to provide us. Just be careful in what you ask for some changes made to make people happy could really end the fun and challenge of this game.
Not directed at anyone just my thoughts.
Also, I should not have posted this here as thei is where we do most of the communications with the devs. Sorry.
Eagle, what are the characters your are after nowadays? I mean theres not much left that you don't have :p
Basically all the rare toons samurai, red cotd, both generals, cyborg, prisoner for a few. I can say the rng is bad by the amount of rare souls I have turned in. But to be honest I'm not complaining that I don't have them I just think that the people that do have them should have an advantage over the people that don't. Those toons are rare so they should be better, if they are given the right tailismans. This is not the type of game were every toon is created equal.Quote:

Those who you listed are in fact better than many others already. I don't think the rarity should mean huge advantage over the other players though.(there are some bad super rare ones there too)Quote:

OK, I get your point Eagle - as I said I AM pretty pleased of what I have got so far, because I AM aware that there ARE Maiden fans and the game players who even don't have a part of I do have... But all I am trying to say is NOT all of us have the same things (still could be fun - cause even with the same characters, people ARE different, right? Like in real life - so might be present different builds, different additional skills etc.), but let's say I have LESS (good, great - you name it) Eddies' companions in favour of having about 2 good Eddies... As I said above 3 super great characters and couple others fine, yet still ONE decent Eddie - let's say a bit rare... BUT there ARE people who being at the same level as I am - and having Cyborg Eddie, Tailgunner, Samurai, Grim Reaper and bunch of SUPERB non Eddie chars for example - all this having ONE person - super lucky? - sure he/she is, playing a lot (so DO I), maybe paying for a lot of souls? (so did I, yet could get 4 x 3* Rocket Dogs in a row!)... All I wish to TRY some different Eddies and maybe characters - yet people who have them not willing to accept me - whatever reasons - because their lists are already full or just because I have FINE to me (maxed to its best), yet still NOT so powerful Eddie comparing to Warriors, Gunners or Sentinels... That's fine... I AM NOT jealous, truly... But IF I have more chances to get some other Eddie to upgrade (of course it would took me some time and made me more attached and involved into a game - cause there will be one and only chance to play with some character - while I own it)... Cause now I play just and only just for trooper points to ''buy'' skill shards for my best stuff... Other not so great - could be maxed, but that's it... When I will do the job - the game will be over for me - as I already finished everything on gold (including secret places)... Sure - someone would say that I could be evolving 3* toons into 5* - bad idea I HAVE NOT such a lot of free time to waste... Evolving one 4* to 5* took me over a month with talismans and skill shards... I know the drop rates are going to be fixed, but still... Not worth of efforts to upgrade everything, but with Eddie it's different story... Cause you CAN play the Eddie even all alone, while you can't without him... Having great other chars and poor, average Eddie you'll ALWAYS loose and have to revive all...
Of course that's just my personal opinion and some my aggree and some other not... I believe that Iron Maiden treat every fans the same as we ARE one big family... I guess they are NOT sorting people to better (richer, cooler etc.) or worse (poorer, having less luck etc.) - they play for EVERYONE who loves their music, right? And so it SHOULD BE here... Cause when there are still people who can't pass some levels because not having decent team and so restriction of using one champ per day (but who will invite you while you have 3* characters even not maxed out, cause can't do any progress in the game) and THERE ARE others who have almost everyting... And that's simply not fair... I was lucky enough that some people of this forum gave me the helping hand and let me use their great powerful and so packed champs... But not everyone's like that sad to say...
Imy trooper list is always full and I only drop them is the don't play for three days. Then I post asking for a new one. I wold take a lvl 1 player as long as they were active and used an Eddie as their champion. When is started playing I didn't under stand the troopers so I didn't even use them to finish the game. The August update really hurt players with evolution of toons but it did not make it impossible. I have gotten very few 5*s from souls I evolved the rest. Witkacy I under stand casual players just want to have fun but I still believe that hardcore players should have an advantage especially in pvp (my opinion). In every game I have ever played those that put more time in have always had an advantage. This is where luck comes in to level the field especially in this game.
Yes I know - am still trying to do the same cause now I CAN afford it having my champ maxed out and counting that this may draw someone's attention... On the other hand have few people on my list who have great chars and not playing over a week - still keeping them just because they are great and useful and afraid that when I would dump them I could not find others with the same stuff who are active...
I don't know if I AM a hardcore player - but I can tell you that I spent many hours daily giving all my troopers points (with list 49/50 usually), using a lot of ironites to refil sands of time to play even more, using all the time rifts, getting LOT of rare souls, but so what I am truly involved - last time got green soulless demon, red newborn of light and green pyro soldier of 4* worth to mention - others were 3* harpies, dogs and so on... And I really would love to exchange everything I had pulled lately for ONE Eddie even 3* but the decent one (I guess I've seen somewhere 3* Samurai or 4* Tailgunner) of course there are just examples... Any decent would be fine... There are people who have dups in great Eddies while I don't have any... Not fair a bit... It's totally understandable if would play ocassionally then sure thing I could have lower chances to get something better... But when there are people with level 41 having a lot more great stuff than myself being at 80 then someting's not right I believe...
The rare toons I mentioned before that I don't have is after turning in over 300 rare souls. I play allot. I love this game and think the devs are now doing a great job taking care of issues and communicating. I do think the rng can be quite harsh. But when it comes to leveling the toons you do have its all about the time u put in. I'm just waiting on sacrifice and more character slots to save the day.
The most fair sollution would be if you COULD pick your reward even if it would cost you a lot of points... That way you would know it's worth to wait and save and you'll not ended with another useless thing... Sure not Samurai - 20k points, but let's say 5* Eddie - to preserve some excitement... But not like with legendary souls when there are 5* on it and you can get 4* char... Kinda ripping off...
The rules are clear - play a lot - have enough points - got great stuff, if not yet - you have to play more - but then everyone would be happy I guess and have more equal chances...
All the basic eddies are crazy good if you level them. I got lucky and out of all the rare souls I got a single samurai Eddie and I don't even use him much unless I'm playing manually. Soldier is my go to, but recently I've started leveling my Econo eddies and wickerman, sol, and basic Eddie are epic. You don't need all the rare souls, it's def a want, not a need. You can farm the shards to level your characters in the rifts. And everyone has to grind out their talismans. Getting the right party synergy is key to auto farm and the high level rifts. Choose your allies and talisman builds carefully.
The game gives you some OP allies for free out of regular souls and all of us had to make due with them in the beginning.
TBH it looks like the RNG was pretty kind giving you the green demon, CR, and the nomad :O
I got your point there - but I bet a lot of people using the game Eddies NOT because they are so crazy good, but because simply they don't have any other option... Having really STRONG team you can afford on everything you want I guess... Play any level, any dungeon, any stage and you can ALWAYS win (maybe not? ;))... It HAPPENED to me that fairly a lot I've died using all maxed Soldier Eddie in Underworld Madness Secret Place so I guess Soldier is not that good... Even now with my CR Eddie I have to watch out what I am doing and can't play some levels on auto even if I have Warrior Troll and The Nomad by my side... As for the Green Demon - I would dump him - he has no passive (disappointing - every 4* that I've own so far have any)... Aurora as I wrote before - and please don't get me wrong - I am NOT complaining of what I have got, yet I just would like to that what I am getting would be more useful, right... It doesn't matter to me really if I get 20 4* chars or 25* star chars - It's pretty obvious that I will test each one, but not gonna max and evolve everything... Just for evolving... No, I am maxing ONLY those which I find trully useful for me now - as I find PDK is great companion to CR Eddie because he can boost his magic and so clears debuffs etc., or may be useful in general like Nomad or Warrior Troll... But I would be more pleased if having 10 companions but more Eddies in general... As for Eddies though - I've started with RTTH Eddie as he was granting perfect hits which is mandatory upon many quests... And it was my mistake I've put it into him so many skill shards I've got during playing the story of game... He was not so good either even with all talismans at 40... Too much healing him... While I've got CR Eddie finally I could move on with the game (have tested him before few times) because his ability of killing & healing at the same time :) So it's not just about all maxing up, but the ABILITIES all the Eddies have...
I tottaly agree! Imo holy smoke and soldier are one of the best eddies, soldier doesnt need explaining but holy smoke! Hes a beast! The damage, the stun, the heal block fury (that works great on bosses)! His only weakness is his heal... its... mediocre... actually nvm its shit... but its getting replaced with rise (PSS's heal ability) which is outstanding!Quote:

Evening Aurora :)
I guess no irony needed... And I AM sorry you've been shocked yourself because of me... To the point - I am not sure what is supposed to mean, truly... If I read you well (if not, please enlighten me and feel free to correct) you liked what you saw? Me either - so what's your point? I wrote somewhere that I am not pleased of what I am having? Feel free to check this... Was writing just that I would like to get less non Eddie characters in favour of having one decent Eddie... Not valid to you? Well... That's my opinion and it will stay that way no matter you'll say or post... Or maybe you've shocked yourself because supposed to see all the way rocket dogs or harpies of whom I wrote? Well... I HAD many of them as I said I've opened MANY rare souls, yet sold everything to upgrade my stuff... Still not valid to you? My bad that I haven't kept everything for you to make even greater screenshots - cause I can tell you it would be far more than 91 characters ;)
Have a nice evening :)

Your game...it is predicated on making a buck, which is obvious, and even when a buck is spent, the screw job intensifies. Thanks, I am out.
