I just got want to say I am trying to test this triple Eda offense and I still say it is terrible. Allowing for the fact that I just may be terrible or it doesn’t match my play style, triple eda is just not good and nothing to worry about even if they do fix some of the glitches around then and the update to SOL Eddie. I much rather take any other offense I use then a triple eda team. I love to hear from anyone else who actually had three Eda’s to try this.
I'm pretty happy about mystic eddie, speed of flight eddie, and lazy azov getting a boost!
Dear Sparton,
The power cost for meteor, comet and zone will be reduced to 8. Could you do the same to the quake and rage talis? I find the quake talis very interesting but with a power cost of 10, they’re almost useless. Wickerman Eddie has the same effect with a lot less power cost and he can raise power by himself.
Thank you.
While all of those talisman skills are similar, we felt that some of those were more viable than others. For the most part, people weren't using stuff like Comet, but were using things like Quake (with Quake being sometimes seen even by some defenses high up in the Arena leaderboard). That's why only some of the talisman power costs were adjusted.Quote:

Please include the mystic eddie in the fixes. The question concerns exactly the procs doom from the ult. At the time of the animation, targets under doom are killed, after the animation ends there are crazy figures of ture damage, but the targets is alive and with full health. Its model just lies on the floor and atack my team. So much battles on arena lose.

Quake seems to be the easiest to come by.. so seeing it more in the arena comes as no shock.. heck as I posted.. I woke up with 12 extra Quake talismans at some point for no reason.
I've farmed GOD level X for roughly 400 runs now... Have picked up 4 comet.. and 2 lighting..... STILL don't have a full Lightning set..... many, many vampiric and a few Immortality. So they are there.. but come on.. is there some reason NF makes it take MONTHS to get even 1 set??
Level X should ONLY be dropping the super rare.. no vampire.. no immorality...and maybe even leave the Comet to level iX... but Level X of GOD should ONLY be dropping Lightning or Comet. .. Level X of GOF only Rage and Echo... Level X of GOL Only Zone and Quake. If you are going to make us work for it.. give us the rewards. I can not express how frustrating it is to see a Vampiric talisman drop in GOD Level X, or a Counter drop in GOF lvl X... or a Chance in GOL lvl X. Especially since only about 1 in 5-10 runs results in ANY talisman drop at all.
Heads up; there's a minor update that has recently gone live in both app stores. This doesn't include the tuning changes noted here, but just has some minor back-end fixes for stability.
It looks like there was a bug that was occurring before relating to Mystic Eddie's Time to Die, but it's happening in different scenarios than what we originally had found. We're looking into narrowing down the exact cases to see if we can get a fix in.Quote:

Cheers!!! Ed.
Okay.. I'll begrudgingly accept that some players actually WANT the lower end talismans to drop at level X. I completely disagree with that.. but well.. ya can't please everyone.
The gist was... if you are altering power costs based on what you see in the arena.... well.. how many arena fighters actually have 4 rage, 4 zone, 4 lightning, etc talismans???
I have 1 rage, 1 zone, 3 lightning.... but then 8 Comet, 4 Meteor, and 16+ Quake
And of course... I hadn't loaded the game since today's rollover and when I did... I see increased talisman drops in BNW... okay.. never mind :)
Still getting MACLO errors in BNW when it tries to award you runes that will put you over 999. At some point in the past it split them at 999 and started new lists, but then like an idiot I used some from the 999 pile, and now it errors every time. I was stuck at 995 and had to sell off 200 3* and 4* red runes just to play tonight.
.. then again.. 11 runs through GOD Lvl X... 1 Endure talisman.. that's it.
Hang in there Yup, I've only went through a couple times (less than 11) and got an Echo, Rage (to finally complete the set) and now a Zone. They're definitely dropping more often.Quote:

okay... finally got the lightning.. .. and definitely more drops.. moving on to the others now :)
This time i had good luck, get my last two Lightning in this event after 2-4 runs... before this i get my second lighting after weeks of farming...
but the rage talis where hard af to get, i got so many red runes which is great but it were hard times :D
I have a question about the language ingame.., i am from germany but i'm playing in english, but the news are in german, and the translations are horrible (understandable but horrible ^^' maybe like my english xD)..,
could you fix this that if you set the language in the settings that not only the game is in that language but the news too? this would be nice, every time i have to read it here again...
it's too boring i will not play that event in bnw :rolleyes:
To be bored i have the pvp :)
You're missing out Blade. I've completed my Lightning set and my Rage set since yesterday... but I realize you already have rage :)
i have rage since a long time :)Quote:

Tap the REWARDS button on the dungeon screen.. it tells you what levels talismans drop from.
Finally I have been able to complete all three sets of ultra rare talis (rage, lightning & zone). Took me 379 BNW runs.😆
Congrats, you lucky guy. I’m at 464 runs now and still need 3 lightning talis.
First of all, thank you for your quick response and I respect your decision.Quote:

That’s a reason, why I don’t use my Wickerman Eddie in the attack teams so often. Speaking of him, his erupt when skilled has a 55% chance, which seemed to be higher in reality.
Anyway, let them as they are and I’ll wait for another update. I had saved explosive, thorn, cyclone and guard talismans in my inventory for almost a year, till they became precious.
Do you have any examples for which sections/pages have problematic translations? If it's some of our older text, we can get that relocalized, but if it's newer event text, we can bring those examples back to our localizers to see where the breakdown is.Quote:

With the Proliferation of Scales event, I got the last two Lightning talismans I needed to complete all three sets. Took me 210 BNW runs in total, nearly all on Level X, so I guess I'm really lucky?Quote:

I read them here again for better understanding. (and learning)
It would be great if i set the game to english the news section would be too, because it is easier to understand if you know all the talis descriptions, names and so on, but if i read the news for new characters or whatever in german it is a bit confusing..
I hope you do understand what i mean...
btw. your avatar the Sentinel Soulless Demon was my first best and most loved non eddie character when i started playing a year ago. :D
Yeah, didn't read that post, he nailed it.Quote:

I believe that was incorrectly referred to magic damage in all languages at one point, but was corrected. If that's still incorrect (in any language), do let me know what language it's wrong in and we can flag that for retranslation.Quote:

Sometimes you just don't know how good a character can be until you give it a chance to shine!
PI is fine. No matter what, people will find a loophole or exploit to have the "best" defense or offense. I personally don't see any issues with PI and don't have trouble facing people with it. But then again I don't do PvP more than once a day unless its an event.
But the main point is that when they change it, those same people will find another annoyingly stupid way to piss you off with an exploit.
The tuning changes look great to me. Thanks NF.
Hey Sparton, quick question... When on autoplay, why can't it change eddies? The change eddie button goes red/yellow when his health is low, why doesn't it change to the other? Is this on your guys radar for future updates?
please don't ask for this dank. as they tried to implement this last time, the eddies changed in an unpredictible way, which made autofarming extremly annoying. you could suddenly be beaten in powerslave because the ai changed to a 4* without talismans. so it was not possible to level eddies anymore. they swiched it back pretty quick, thank god.Quote:

Hmm don't remember this. Must have really been a fast withdrawal haha
I only brought it up because my toons really really really love to completely avoid their skills and just wait to die. They are notoriously stupid, my entire roster. Bastards. Can hardly auto farm BNW GOF VII right now, and it's super freaking easy - it pisses me off.

The current AI doesn't have a good sense of using skills in certain orders; it just picks a character to act, and that character does what it thinks is best in isolation (which sometimes leads to things like burning power on a non-healing skill when another character could have used a heal that turn). It's a general AI improvement we want to take some time to tackle, but primarily our focus is on fixing combat bugs over general AI improvements.Quote:

Here's a new one (for me)... Eddie wasn't allowed to scroll side to side for his other skills/attacks in PvP. Luckily for me it was a very easy opponent so it didn't make a difference. But still... Should be looked into. It was the battle that just happened Sparton.
