Worth noting:
So don't throw too much ironite at them!Quote:
...the Birds first appearance on February 6th until February 20th, at which point they will fly away and no longer be available in the game
Hmm, from what they say there, it seems that Eddie the Bird will be available just for playing and for a limited period.Quote:

I'm a tiny bit miffed about this. They're adding Killers Eddie as a fucking BIRD before they actually put him in the game. On the other hand, I'm wondering of the person who made the executive decision to do this is okay... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, the little buggers are adorable. I want all of them, especially the Cyborg!
If my opinion matters a little, I find this a very welcome mash-up of universes, and a pretty solid way to attract more players to LotB, and the more players that keep playing this game the better on the long run.
And I just hope the special characters are not hidden behind a wall of Souls, cause man, I honestly don't find any soul event attractive at all... more expensive souls for the same* chance. (*No matter if the chance is increased its still pretty low, and no, I am not complaining here, that's the way this game works since the first day I played, so I am pretty used to my RNG nightmarish luck by now).
Nice move from both Rovio and NF.
And I also think that we will have an app update (hopefully with all the changes implemented) today, which is always welcome either.
Cheers, Ed.
The question that everybody wants to hear !!!
And the little pigs ??? mhahahahaha
Do we think these will just be skins with same move sets or whole new characters?
Hope they have their own moves, although would be nice to get killers and see what moves he has. Killers is my most wanted Eddie.
I believe that they'll have their own moves, and I'm hoping for some funny ones, sometimes this game tends to be too serious, or maybe we are taking it in that way.. :)
I do not want to sound like an idiot ... but what a real shitty event, I mean, really? angry birds eddie? this makes room for the whole context of the game to change, well ... at least now the "valkiries" look more in line with the game. (only my opinion). Whats Next? Sponge Eddie?

That’s my worry if they are new moves and such limited characters these better be semi accessible characters. If they are all 5 star can only be gotten by some sort of limited event soul I can see a lot of people not being happy. Where as if they are just reskined characters don’t see it being as big a deal except killer Eddie bird becoming the big chase character then.
i'd guess it's more like a skin/costume kind of thing. maybe you can swich your cyborg to an angry bird cyborg if you want, something like that. even i dislike this specific design, it could become very attractive if we could design our eddies and other toons more and more as time goes by. like carlos once said a black/whide/red nomad costume/skin could be very attractive...
but well let's wait and see, although the speculation itself is fun too :)
From the Press Release they are new limited time characters that we will probably not be able to keep... in fact we might actually all be getting them to go through some missions or challenges.
Still not sure what to think of this...
Marketing stunt - I could care less. I just want the update so gcotd gets put back in her place and the eddies in the notes get their buffs. The arena blows right now with 7th son and his little yellow sidekick wiping everything out
just read on FB, the maintenance with push of the new update is today 1:30 am, so 3 hours to go.
Angry birds in LotB? Really? Wasn't the community p*ssed enough when the valkyres were added, as they had nothing to do with Iron Maiden!?!
(besides the fact, that Green and Purple Valkyre are still the best damp PVP-characters)
Unless those Eddie-Birds are a killer for PVP, I'll save my ironites for the next event. (two fragment events are still coming)
I'm cool with the birds. Eddie did cross over into the angry birds universe, so I'm sure this is part of the deal from that. Is it a bit silly? Sure, but nothing wrong with that. Hopefully they'll be relatively easy to get and we get to keep them. Plus, the press release said from 6th to the 20th so two weeks to try and get them. Guess we'll know in a few hours.
What I'm saying is that these characters become ridiculous in the context of the game, I know it's a strategy to attract new players, but the Maiden universe is full of great things that can be brought into the game. I believe that things like these make room for other future characters that have nothing to do with Maiden, it happened with the Valkyries and now with this. I know it is a game and anyone can play it but we must not forget that it has the name of IRON MAIDEN in it.
On the other hand I keep laughing just thinking about how ridiculous it is to see a bird eddie fighting with the beast.
Ahh! I guess since I've never heard them play 'Rudolph the red nosed wickerdeer' or 'Frosty, the possessed snowman' those characters seem a little silly. Not sure what song the haunted pumpkins would be from. So, enjoy it and maybe someone will come up with an awesome bird defense. :DQuote:

Well, I like and welcome this type of cross-over, listen, they really don't belong to the Maiden world, and this is what makes it just awesome, they are well know cross-over characters, you will play then knowing they don't belong. It's not the same as the Valks for ex, where they are supposedly to be a part of this universe.
Honestly, just don't take this type of cross-over events too serious, we will be playing then and having fun while doing it.
Cheers, Ed.
Oh, I'll buy not taking it too seriously all day and night, my friend! :cool: My only advice to the team would be: Maybe don't advertise something like this as a "Mega Event" in the future. lol ;)Quote:

I really am curious to see it, one way or the other, tbh. lol The whole "Mega Event" thing though came across to me as misleading...especially for long-time players. I mean, they know how jaded some of us are, and I think they wanted to inflate our expectations, which would be fine, if they were delivering some long-awaited content, but feels very bait-and-switch to me otherwise. Had this been billed from the outset as a "Crossover Event," it would have felt much more honest. Just my thoughts. :cool: The artwork from the press release alone screams: "Don't take all this too seriously, you wankers!" lol :cool:
Are you all really that surprised at the "puffing" used for the event?? :) I mean it's pretty consistent with every event. :) And I'm sure for NF and Rovio it is a "mega" event, at least in financial potential.
Kick a dog enough times and eventually it's the dog's fault for returning to you.
No doubts there! lol But yeah, I'd still say calling it a "Mega Event" was a lot more bait-and-switch than usual. I mean, we all know to take the word "Event" in the context of this game with a grain of salt by now, but surely adjectives should still mean something?? :D No? Just me? lolQuote:

There will be 100% guaranteed* ways of getting each Bird, but they will also be available via event souls for the duration of the event (you may want some extras...). And like any of our "limited" characters, any characters you actually summon you keep forever as long as you don't Sacrifice or Sell them; they'll just not be available from regular souls (both during the event and after the event is over).Quote:

Best news, thanks for putting some minds at ease.
Just saw the asterix looks like going back to 3 star sol Eddie defense.
Awesome news!!!Quote:

I just don't like the 100% rng/chance/luck aka Souls events that much.
And if NF are giving a way of us getting then outside and inside of Souls, I couldn't be more happy about it. (Always liked and always will like anytime there is an option to the player).
This applies to this and every event.
And yeah, I am hyped to play with the Birds, bring then in!!!!
Cheers, Ed.
You do realize "100% guaranteed way" could mean purchase. :) Just saying :)
