I am loving this event so far, just wish the souls would normally drop at this level and I think it would stop some people from complaining a lot more. I have gotten a lot of my missing toons the last couple days. Just have a few more to go!!

I am loving this event so far, just wish the souls would normally drop at this level and I think it would stop some people from complaining a lot more. I have gotten a lot of my missing toons the last couple days. Just have a few more to go!!
I'm striking out so far during this event, but oddly enough, I had amazing luck last week scoring 4 toons I didn't have. Nomad, FotD Eddie, SSD, and I am not a number, I'm a free man! Yes, The Prisoner!!!
That is quite an amazing toon haul in a week I'd say!
I'm not getting very many precious sould fragments either. Just 5 I think. Game of Death being my main farming area, though I've tried farming in all 4 worlds.
Really enjoyed the soul party saturday and I am hopeful this week will bring some exciting stuff, but not keeping my hopes up.
Happy anniversary LotB!
I guess there was a bug that I could exploit and that was when the week was closing, the arena store opened the doors and I bought 2 Legendary Souls (one at 1000 and the other at 500 some hours later) and 2 skill shards.
With one of those Legendary souls I finally get the Angel of Fear! with the other, just my fifth Magus Golden Son.
Appart from that, all of the souls I've traded gived me worthless 3* characters. O, I'm sorry, one was a Warrior NBoL.
I'm countng on having enough ironite to buy 10 souls before the event close (just 98 more!). And hoping to get some of the Eddies I don't have, like Coalgiver or Navigator or Viking, or some of the Corrupt rescuers (magus or gunner).
Apart from being too expensive, the idea of the event was good. Could be a good idea for the next event to be able to pick some more ironites in dungeons or in regular quests. Or maybe some soul that, traded, could give some ironite. An ironite soul!

Nico
Ok...
You guys know I hate NF right now over delay on BNW and no transparency about what is going on, crappy events, future plans etc.
Saw Patrice post and got puzzled...
It all started using my 90k troopers pts on souls, and then I bought 30 anniversary souls too.
After I don't know how many lv6 sacrifices, that brought me many ,many souls, result were:
Nomad
AG
A CoTD
GCR
Axis BB
HH
All which I did not have...
Red eyes were flashing more, way more... so... if anybody can confirm I'm calling truce with NF (for now).
And NF, we need more slots for our toons. And fix the bugs and bring BNW!
Cheers
gmac
After a bunch of anniversary souls, sacrifices and one vortex fill I finally have:
Navigator Eddie
Rainmaker Eddie
Gunner COTD
I'm now only missing Visions and Eternity Eddies.
I was also able to get the Sentinel Pumpkin and Reindeer toons which completes those. Not sure why I care but it's cool seeing all of them now.
Somehow hoping this event gets me one of the Prisoner, Nomad or Warrior Troll toons. I started playing at the beginning a year ago and these have been my most wanted for a long time.
Fun event and hoping BNW and Trooper Eddie come out this summer. I'm still going to save my Trooper points for this Eddie.
It's not something we plan on making a habit out of, but it's just so happens to be around when Mystic Eddie was ready to ship and when our anniversary was, and we didn't want to overly delay Mystic Eddie.Quote:

Doubling that massive advantage would definitely feel rewarding for that subset of players, but it risks creating even more of a divide that I don't think we're comfortable with.Quote:

@All of the NF & related: Congrats for a year with LotB & thanks for everything you did for us, the players.
I think that the most important is the fact that, after a year since you've started this journey with Eddie, you're still around and, despite all the ups and downs that you've had during this period (which I think its normal) you're still around and rocking as good as you can!
Hope for another great year with LotB & Up the IRONS!!
I bought a legendary soul while the going was good. Got MCR which I already have. Bought an anniversary soul out of curiosity and got a Warrior Haunted Pumpkin, a new toon but I can't see myself ever using it. So not sure I'll commit to buying more as yet. Of the 4 rare souls I have received so far I have gotten a Magus Harpy (dupe) and a WNBOL. Which is kinda funny as I couldn't get one before but since that character's event its now my 4th! Today I got a dupe Desert Rider from G/A reward (really disappointing) but finally a Sentinel ABB from another rare soul reward. Not a Harpy or Soulless Demon but better than anything I currently have! So personally I think these new drop rates should stay permanently! If I'm gonna get a dupe I'd rather it be a 4* than a 3*! I'd consider buying souls if rates stayed as they are now. Just saying.... ;)
Morning all :)
I bought an anniversary 10 soul pack off the ironities and finally everything worked as I expected to work from the very start... Apart of what I've pulled out - got only one dupe within a pack - Green Pumpkin... At last the adverts seem to no lie as I've got as well two various wickerdeers, Warrior Pumpkin, Magus NBOL, Warrior Golden Son, Warrior Undead Rescuer (4*) - recently I've got about 4 of them - and everytime I sacrify this guy he come back to me LOL... So... I can say that everything was pretty new for me (as I got rid many chars before), only one dupe... Lots of stuff to feed the vortex again - the one who stay (and will be remembered as your birthday present to me personally) - Navigator Eddie! (4*)...
I wish to thank you for changes in daily login rewards and so the arena ones... I guess there are many more of them I can't figure out just yet, but I am all the way positive and pleased :)
Cheers,
W
Thank you Sparton and Nodding Frog,
This weekend was so lucky for me. On Saturday, I got my second eternal soul: Wrath!
Then, I opened one green soul: Sentinel Harpy!
I filled vortex today and got 25 gunner/assassin souls and there he was: the Prisoner with Death Dog, Ass. Cor. Ox Cultist, Gunner Golden Son and my 2nd GCR.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Now, I only need a ton of skillshards and evo shards.
Congratz to all who got new characters out of this event.
I used up my trooper badges and made two exalted sacrifices, which gave me in total 45 G/A souls. I pulled 4x 4* dupes out of it and rest 3*. Went to vortex again.
Pack of 10 anni souls gave me a 4* whatever dupe (went into exalted sacri mentioned), got 2 missing 3* holiday characters which is only good for my collectionist mind. I did not feel the 2x rate, but I am generally not that lucky.
Seems Cyborg will avoid me at all cost. Same for CG, CRE, Assassin Troll and W CotD. I am curious just how many more thousand souls I have to dump into the book to get them and how much time it will take.
To be honest, I think the anni event has both great and bad parts. Several aspects of the game giving extra is great (sacrifice, precious souls, daily rewards, 2x chance at summon), but the anni souls and the mythic soul pack are something I do not understand.
The new missions are a great distraction for a while, but I do think lots of players can just go through them in a week (LoL class constraints), then we are back again to troopers + arena. While I am waiting BNW release with many others, I do not think it will materially change the gaming experience, but will more likely be like LoL. Interesting while it's new, but then it will be another grind.
A suggestion would be to make a daily dungeon of some sort, where we can get soul and skill shard fragments with additional chance to get the souls/shards themselves, something like a harder Gold/Soul Cache & Hoard. That would give core players something to play with and collect those fragments. And with the constant changing of characters, I do not think anyone feels they have abundant skill shards, even if they accumulated 50+. That amount is still good for close to nothing. Not to mention people like Silentknight and myself, the collectionists, whose final goal would be to have all available characters maxed (lvl 100, sharded). For that, we need close to 1,500 shards :)
I still vote for Immortal Event being the best one so far. Maybe Halloween too, that was fun and rewarding as well though not to the extent of Immortal.
I think many people are losing interest and don't feel entertained, I hope this will change in the future. NF is heading the right afterall, but until the bugs are fixed, people won't be that happy as they could be.
I've pulled so many awesome characters from this event. It's led to many sacrifices, new toons, exciting dupes (handful of GCR's) and a good amount of skill shards (ult. sacrifice gave 6!).
My long-anticipated toons still elude me. Aces High Eddie, Coalgiver, Prisoner, Cyborg... but that's ok. The more Eddies I get in my collection, the more chance I have of getting dupes. Nature of the beast. And hey - if they just handed out these toons to everybody, then we'd all have them already and they'd lose their appeal. So I get it.
Thank you NF for this event, and congrats on a year of churning out exciting content and events, characters, and dealing with the wrath that comes from producing a great game for the masses. Up the irons!!! \m/
Ditto!!! Event doesn't even come close to Halloween or Immortal! Thot this was anniversary...smells like divorce! Won't even bother as I have no room, 143/150...sacrificing is a pain in the ass!!! Also the pathetic drop from my 1st ultimate sacrifice has turned me off anything they have to offer!!!Quote:

that said maybe it would be better to make some kind of legendary pack lets say 10 for 20k coins would be a possibility.
once you have a decent roster legendaries are not that impressive anymore since 5* are also hard to get with them, so i cannot see a reason to be so scrooge about them.
i would let players buy them weekly, that would motivate many guys to grind more and earn more coins. and let's be honest most drops from legendary souls are crap anyway, so also beginners wouldn't get too much of a early game braking advantage very often.
same thing with the g/a souls. you could easily implement them to the store for a once per week purchase or also with a pack like 40 for 20k.
that said:
a grinding for skillshards event in the lol would be a huge ironit burning fest. i hope you guys consider this as an option :-)
I don't know how you guys doing it. I feel like the most unluckiest player here, I bought anniversary souls and received flicking deers, newborns, 4th pyro soldier and other crap. I spent all my ironite (2 left) and basically I have the same stuff I had before. Even bloody precious souls are giving me useless gold idols and * hearts. Don't know what's going on. My account must be cursed I think. I like this game and I'm playing every day since almost a year and it really annoys me when I see how the other players have a luck getting crucial toons so easy and quick.
I have checked history payments in the google store (ironite, special event souls etc.) and blimey, almost had a heart attack. Didn’t realise how quick several small transactions on the mobile phone game will exceed over £200. As if I could back in the time, NF would not get any penny from me and from now on never will.
Luckily Blizzard released mini expansion pack for Diablo3 (for the price of small ironite pack here) with new GUARANTEED character and others stuff. GUARANTEED - word not listed in NF vocabulary.
I’m not quitting LOTB, I’m just changing my status to casual. New season in Diablo3 starts soon, so I will play LoTB very occasionally, for sure I will use my 50 troopers every day and maybe will play few pvp battles and that’s it.
I've definitely had my share of those moments as well. Even just this weekend, at one point I opened 10 anniversary souls and got all 3* crap. I excitedly opened my Legendary soul from the arena on Friday, and it was my 4th pyro soldier. I felt the way you did, I'm sure. Got lots of pumpkins and stuff I'll never use, but I won't get rid of. But then I landed my Corrupt Harpy, which I really wanted badly... and that was super exciting. it ebbs and flows.Quote:

You may have shit luck today, and great luck tomorrow. That's RNG. But ff you look at that Pyro as a means to another end, it helps it seem less unlucky.
I hope you get some really kickass guy that you've waited for soon. I'd gift you a soul to open if that was a feature (Sparton... feature idea? ability to gift souls to troopers?). In the meantime, hang in there. We've all been there! \m/
I agree with all Slauki wrote. I think Jofer is a prime example. He has a huge hoard of skill shards that he hasn't spent, yet managed to become Eternal week after week with a limited number of toons. You reach a certain point where everything is icing on the cake. When Caliza and I battled Saturday I can promise you neither of us were doing a lot of - if any - toon switching - that's too slow. You have your core 4-6 and that's what you use when speed matters.Quote:

With that being said, if there is a fun way to put those coins to use looking forward to hearing it!
Quite happy with the event (looks like RNG was on my side). I got enough 4* / sacrificial hearts to do a tier 6 sacrifice. Which gave me 15 G/A souls. Filled the Vortex at the same time and got bunch of skill shards + legendary soul + 5 G/A :
new Eddies:
- Vampire Hunter Eddie
- Navigator Eddie
dupes worth mentioning:
- Rainmaker Eddie
- Alliance General
- Corrupt Ox Cultist
- Golden Son x 2
(I'll level + sac the dupes this week)
Is there any way you guys would be willing to increase the amount of skill shards you get from a tier 6 sacrifice. Only receiving 2 skill shards was a bit disappointing and very frustrating.:(
Besides that I finally manage to pull Mystic Eddie and a lot of other key toons. Now all I'm missing is Sentinel Harpy and The Prisoner.
You all know what would make me spend like a madman? Become Eternal and win Meet&Greet tickets for some show nearby. Simple as that. I'd play killhouse style and spend all my ironite and money :D
You will have a fierce battle against me. I will not sleep the entire week! lolQuote:

I think Ive gone through 35 anniversary souls. Blew all my 1800+ stored irionite and bought the 2 cheaper packs.
Drops of note:
Shaman Eddie (Finally!)
Navigator Eddie x 2 (1 non dupe)
Carriage Rider Eddie (dupe)
Magus Corrupt Rescuer (Non dupe)
Ass. Corrupt Rescuer x 2 (1 non dupe)
Gunner Golden sun x 3 (All dupes)
Ass. Corrupt Ox Cultist (Non dupe)
Ass. Newborn of Light (Non dupe)
Ass. Hunter Wickerdeer (Non dupe)
Magus Poss. Snowman (Non dupe)
Magus Haunted Pumpkin x 2 (1 non dupe)
Sentinel Haunted Pumpkin x 2
Whoever mentioned it here before is right!
F'ing 2 skill shards from a lvl6 sacrifice?! what the fudge?! that's a joke!!! i sacrificed 10 4* and up characters and got 2 shards?!!! you must be kidding me!!! glad i didn't put in a AoP with 10 shards on him. that would really wee me off!!!
I get the same drops, get one 5 star character in months, so it sounds more like big droppings to me.
With all the different types of souls, I seem to only get a few 4 star characters and the rest is 3, 2 or 1 star characters. And yes the one 5 star character since months of playing?!
I'm losing the interest in this game.
10 Anniversary Souls:
1 3* Ass Undead Rescuer
1 3* Sent NbOL
1 3* War Corrupt Droid
1 3* War Pumpkin
1 3* Mag Snowman
1 3* Gun NbOL
1 3* Ass Wickerdeer
1 3* Mag Pumpkin
1 3* Sent Pumpkin
1 3* Sent Deer
Not 1 4*.
I didn't try for any of these pumpkins and Christmas characters when they were available and now here they are...
Feel ya. T6 sac netted 1 legendary soul that gave me my 4th or 5th green bat which all came from legendary souls. Definitely a little miffed at the moment.Quote:

I hope no one buys the mythic soul, you guys don't deserve $100 USD until you fix the game's bugs and add more content that isn't just some extra characters. We've went through more characters being released and new ways to get money out of us than we have actual content updates. Brave New World and Night City are still on the backburner. Real nice way to treat your supporters, team.
I've seen some, they are rare though, usually come in 10's. I have probably gotten 30 or 40, been playing Lord of Light once troopers are done thoughQuote:

And i kept the mythical soul over night and was thinking the whole night "what's the most dumb ass 5* i can think of?"
What came topped all my guesses: a freaking PDK!!!
So i ended up with 3000 ironite for 100€...nice
But i swear this was the last time i've spent a penny on this shit until we see some real new content released and bug fixes.
Other games i play keep releasing new chapters,ways to further evolve the player/characters,fun events like on a running belt. LOTB has gone 1 year with "coming soon" locationg and we (idiots) still spend so much money on it...pathetic!
14 rare souls from rewards used this evening for 13 dupes and a Sentinel Corrupt Droid which I don't have. No Eddies but I'll take that for now.
1 Legendary soul from Vortex fill for a Gunner Golden Son. Not a toon I have but where's Eddie hiding? Or SSD, AoP/AoF, AG, CG, Nomad?
I Magus rare soul for, wait for it..............a masked Harpy. Sigh..
Ok I'm gonna save the 12 G/A rare souls from sacrifice rewards I have remaining until tomorrow and hoping an Eddie rears his ugly but powerful head. Or Prisoner.
I did get 5 skill shards today through vortex fill and a SQ so thats something.
It seems like rare souls are not dropping from tier 1 sacrifice anymore. Let me spend money to get those pixelated chances of getting nothing
They are, I just got oneQuote:

During the Mystic Eddie "event" I made a pact with myself - no more spending, I said to myself, after blowing through 2700 ironite and a T6 sacrifice (for 5 lousy souls - love that RNG huh) and getting nothing but crap. Then, about 2 hours before that event ended I bought 2 more souls with ironite and got Mystic Eddie. By that point, I felt I bloody deserved it. Then I pulled Visions from an ordinary rare soul, and got Wrath the next day, and I was like "well this is pretty cool". I had a stern word with myself then and had to remind myself of how pissed I was earlier in the week, because its those moments of euphoria that trick you into thinking you can get lucky like that again.
Now, with anniversary souls and "special store prices" the temptation rises again. So I remind myself how I felt the previous week, and how our characters that we work hard to get, then work to build up get "tuned" just after we've sharded them, sometimes tuned twice (despite everyone agreeing its not needed), and sometimes right after we've got them in a "repeat something tedious over-and-over" event. I'll keep my cash - small as it might be - in my pocket this time around. I have enough Allied Soldiers and Harpies not to bother with more gambling on souls. I hope everyone else enjoys the event.
Good afternoon all :)
The Good:
It seems that chances of getting something really good were tweaked a bit in favour of players... Got G/A soul from fragments as the reward upon missions completion... Clear X LOL with Assassin characters... Had to revive my team about 3 times (my rooster got shrunked after yesterday's night again - a few words below)... But it paid off to throw away some ironities :D
Score off ONE single G/A soul:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4-10-56-50.png
Another fantastic birthday present! THANK YOU!
But...
The Bad:
Yesterday I was trying to make to progress in the mission to give ''Permadeath'' to Artillery Dogs... And I did once thanks to great help of Druid's toon... The mark with red skull and ''2'' was present for good (not just blink of an eye), haven't died on the mission, no revive of any toons - still counts 0/3... The missions seems buggy, please fix it! Thanks...
The Ugly:
As I've already said my rooster got shrunked again... I can't say I regret (though sacrificed very fine toons, not being dupes at all, I believe some others would like to have), I've been warned either by Mizrael's post... I did this completely aware and on purpose to fill the vortex and have some goodies for my newly gained Navigator... And I've got nice bonus, but the main ''prize'' of sacrificing 9 toons and 1 3* Eddie:
Amongst others:
NBOL (W) 100/100
Angel Of Pain (M) 100/100
Angel Of Strife (S) 100/100
Golden Son (M) 100/100
Golden Son (S) 100/100
Mummy Dog (A) 64/100
Pyro Soldier (W) 100/100 + 4 Skillshards
PDK (M) 100/100
And some another one I can't recollect now...
WAS: 2 (TWO) Bloody skillshards!!!
Well I ain't greedy always try to be happy with the stuff I've got, but how to compare such ''prize'' in the terms of value of things given away and this what you got in return... Very very disappointing in the terms of rewarding... The more pitty this time RNG has nothing common with the prize... Anyway thank you devs even for that, cause this is my truly lucky day...
P.S. To all American fans out there - happy 4th of July!
Cheers,
W
Happy 4th and happy anniversary LotB!
I've added some new characters this week thanks to the event. Most notable being Rainmaker Eddie.
If this is the excitement for the week though, it a little underwhelming. They might still release something tomorrow i guess, but this "event", if you can call it that, is boring. Precious soul fragments barely drop, and I just get crap from them anyway.
Again it seems the devs try to get away with giving as little as possible. It's fucking Maiden! Get stoked for your 1yr anniversary. Give shit out to your loyal players like it's Mardi Gras. Why do you guys keep holding back? You think you'll lose players if you shower them with gifts for a special event like this? Come on
I know we got some slightly better login rewards for the week, but why not go crazy?
1st day - 10 rare souls
2nd day - 10 G/A souls
3rd - event souls
Etc
Last day - multiple skill shards instead of 1
And throw one of those 5* souls in there too
It's weak
sorry for the negativity, I just keep giving my opinion in hopes that the devs might listen to us one day and make this game as great as it should be
Yeah! i'm still trying to figure out where those "amazing lots of giveaways" are...
All that goes away again is the cash out of our valets...
Happy 4th of July to the us members!
Saw this anniversary week in this forums so I figured I'd log into the game and burn some ironites on anniversary souls to test my luck. And what can I say... I got many 4* and 5* that went into the sacrifice pool for tier 6 scrifices that gave 13 - 20 g/a souls that led to new tier 6 sacrifices that gave 50 souls and a Vortex fill that led to new tier 6 sacrifices and so on.... By the time I was finished I got many new toons. Finally I got my prisoner, and not long after my second... On one occasion I threw a stack of 5 g/a souls into the book and I got 3 (three) assassin Troll. Never had that toon b4, and when I finally got it I got three in a row :eek: And for a short period I had 5 Vikings...
No dupe 4-5* toons :
Coalgiver
Prisoner
Rainmaker
CG
Assassin Troll
Assassin CR
Assassin NoL
Assassin CotD
Gunner CotD
I also bought my last fragments for my third eternity soul and I got The Clairvoyant. So far no dupes from eternity souls :cool:
I must say I'm really surprised about all the great toons I got and I finally now have all the Eddies! :cool:
It kinda looks like the game tries to get me back to play, but for now I don't have time or motivation to do so. But I'll have an eye of whats happening the rest of this anniversary week...
Have a great summer everyone!
Soul results are rolled on purchase/acquire and not on open.Quote:
