Higher quality lesser quantity. And for what its worth its very hard to catch up in this game if you get behind in new talismans and new characters.
Well I got a catalyst soul that finally allowed me to max out that T3 freeze we got aaaaages ago from the dungeon so Im happy!
Ended up doing the dungeon gunner challenge with the below team. Auto was fine, just have to click Icarus Eddie at the end. If you kill icarus without him being passively disabled, icarus eddie will mess you up!
Hallowed - Trooper - seems to keep the team alive much better than vipers even
Krampus - Alchemy - Gold buff removal, freeze and stops the sleep/burns
Banshee - Space - gets through the invisibility on icarus eddie on the last round & space is super helpful for survivability
Redan - Fortune & sustaining - Just there for the heal
Not quick, but reliable with minimal baby-sitting for those of us without a big complement of relics.
Typical event luck for me.
Decided to get event souls with my Ironite saved up. Pulled a 5* characters but it was the Gunner Minotaur.
From event challenges and 10 packs ended up with 500 Fragments and what does that give me? Another Gunner Minotaur. Not the Warrior. Typical.
Only real annoy part for me though is I stupidly miss calculated how much Ironite I had and thought I had enough to get the 700 Fragments to get FOI Eddie if I didn’t pull him from a soul. Silly me.
Got Gunner Minotaur from Event Soul and Warrior Minotaur from a simple Rare Soul, so my luck in this game is over for the next 6 months :rolleyes:
Decided to spend some ironite to get FoIE, bought 6 x 10 packs plus 12 souls from event challenges and got all Minotaurs except the Gunner one, also got the new Eddie. It has been a long time since I don't get the new Eddie from buying souls. Coincidence that happened after I spent some money to buy the green dog, also long time since don't spend real money.
Now comeback to board more ironite.
I have 720 fragments for another FoIE, but don't want to spend 300 ironite more.

Connectivity Errors (Played HUNDREDS of mobile games and THIS is the only one that does this horse shit)
Bugged and glitchy characters and talismans THEY don't Beta Test before releasing...they SHOULD release only ONE new character and talisman set a month and beta test the shit instead of making US the Beta Testers.
Gauntlet over run with Illegal Talisman combos.
Arena has always been broken and NOW since they completely changed it up it's even worse.
Log-ins...They SAY they streamed lined it and only made it worse having to fight and struggle to log in at any time...fucks sake the loading bar doesn't even load all the way anymore so you never know if you're getting close to getting in or not.
then there is just the piss poor decisions they make from month to month...like over loading players with stupid grind fest events with little to NO pay out...those fucking STUPID Cosmic Tallywacker Talisman...THAT is right on par with the decision to increase the cost of souls like they did that forced players to walk away from the game in droves.
Releasing new characters for fragments in events that the only fucking way to earn them is you either have to be a Scrooge Mc'Duck with Ironite and have tons of the shit or a Wallet Warrior.
Predetermined RNG for drop rates on ANY character from ANY soul...you have to be either fucking blind or retarded to not see that.
Piss poor Support...I'll leave Sam out of this one for the simple fact he seems like the only one in Support who cares and is Polite to players..even when we're not....rest are like Michelle fucking rude straight out of the gate and doesn't give two less shits and a milkshake.
and lets stop for a minute and talk about the NEW Key Dungeons...yeah grind your ass off for a chance at a key to unlock yet another dungeon to grind your ass off til it bleeds for an even slimmer chance at something that by the time you fucking get it is made completely worthless by other new flavors of the month bullshit...BRAVO FROGS
and while I could go on and on with a complete laundry list I'll end with every new character and talisman released, is released over powered and they nerf the fuck out of them the very next month...all the while still barely given any love and upgrades to characters that are so old they're covered in dust.
As much as they fuck with us players...more so ones like me that are day one players then any and ALL of us have every reason to bitch, piss and moan.
Besides when people have pent up anger over ANYTHING they have even more of a reason to vent and rant before it digs itself down deep, festers, grows and they shit out a fucking tumor
Nice rant, you have a fine vocabulary.
Put way too much effort into this post, but I feel like you really need to be called out for YOUR bullshit and put into your place....
You pay for those things specifically and only to play this game? You wouldn't have to pay for that otherwise? Let's be at least reasonably realistic here, ok?Quote:

Time will tell and you may be right, but again... is it worth ruining your day over?Quote:

Again, I dont see any login issues. Similar to the connectivity "issues" I dont see anything. Unless the software is downloading updates, it generally logs right in.Quote:

What they did very poorly, was communicating exactly what was going to happen and when. That screwed a lot of people over real bad and it was very poor. Since the change was made, I still have a FLOOD of souls and frags come into my account on a monthly basis, so the adjustments seem to have been justified.Quote:

Do it as quickly or slowly as you wish. I think every single event should be like this, honestly. Though they would need a better naming system to manage all the keys. The only thing I didnt like was the way they communicated their intent on the Trooper dungeon. I was one of the people who ignored the dungeon during the event since it was "permanent" and then got screwed but having a ton of trooper frags and not able to buy the keys. Fortunately, I had a near unlimited supply of trooper badges and frontier coins so I was still able to run the dungeon, but I can see where other people really got bent over hard on that.Quote:

Support sucks, but also, support is probably like 3 or 4 people. They posted a "team picture" of all the members of Navigator/Frogs. There is like 15-20 people total? Yeah, support sucks sometimes, and maybe they arent in the cheeriest of moods, but how would you feel if you were 1 of 4 people who had to deal with thousands of assholes like you all day everyday?Quote:

And yeah okay call me a Scrooge McDuck just because I know how to play this game without spending a fat smelly wad of money every month.
Your overgeneralization of "oh they always nerf every OP character after releasing them" how often do they actually nerf anyone anymore? Most of the time when they nerf something it's justified, I always look at the patch notes after every update and I'm just gonna go ahead and call YOU out on your own bullshit. This is every nerf since the beginning of the year. For you mentally disabled chaps that's 8 months of updates.
1. Eternity Eddie. Justified nerf, his basic gave him unlimited extra turns.
2. Killer Prime. I'd be bold enough to say they didn't nerf him enough. He can't remove Perfect Immortality, Shroud or Soul Protect. Good thing his permadeath passive negates perfect immortality and soul protect anyways. And Shroud is easily dealt with anyone with multihitting characters.
3. Viper Talismans. You shouldn't be bitching about this at all. If I had my way, I'd made the counter rate 35% instead of 50% and it was 75% to begin with.
4. Fortune Talismans. Not like this one hardly did it any good anyways. Now there's a slightly less chance of them cleansing silver effects.
Wow there we go mate a whopping FOUR nerfs this year, man dude those devs am I right? Total bastards
I won't even begin to get started on your adorable little tinfoil hat theories about defense boosts and rigged accounts and all that I nearly laughed myself into a coma last time I tried arguing that subject so I'll just leave my post with OL' reliable...
If you don't like the game then JUST QUIT!
xxxphantomfreakxxx.... why do you still play this game if it upsets you that much?
Just delete it....
Wow...did not expect this thread to escalate into a huge flamewar. While I don't feel like scanning through all the rants and telling what's wrong in these, I may as well give my 2 cents. What I wanna ask is this: if you seem to hate every aspect of LotB, why do you even bother to keep playing? Wouldn't simply quitting the game be a lot easier? Both sides would win: complainers could move on to something that they find more enjoyable while the others may have a more peaceful community here. Think about it. Quite a few people have already made their move recently, maybe now's your turn?
A big thanks to the devs for this ,once more, awesome dungeon. The graphics rule and the short story is cool. Unfortunately, many people (including me) are affected by crashes, and this makes the dungeon relatively hard to enjoy. I loved the characters, but I would like the team to consider releasing not so many versions of them at once. Like in almost all of the events I will have to wait to get the featured Eddie knowing it will take a long time. However, if someone makes peace with the idea that you cannot easily earn event characters, you will enjoy the game and be less and less frustrated.
Bugs, inconsistencies, and so many other problems exist, yes. Nevertheless, constructive criticism will only help in my opinion. Also, what is the idea of swearing at the devs so many times? What are you guys who do that expecting to achieve? Sorry,but this is quite lame... And a big thanks to those players who pay, keeping the game alive, and allow me and others who don't pay,to enjoy it like they do.
Jeez there is some crazy shit in here. It is just a game!
Sure have a wee moan about some stuff - we all do it from time to time but really if the game bothered me that much it would be deleted for sure. Life is way too short to get hung up on a free game (even if you have to pay for some stuff!) - love Maiden, listen to Maiden and play the game..........or not as the case may be for any of these things.
But if it is really getting to you just dump it and move on to a happier place!
PS, still not a single new character from the current event for me! LOL, had to be said!
I would like to add my 2 cents to the post by xxxphantomfreakxxx. In it he mentioned some of the support staff by name. Just because you might have had a less than ideal solution to your liking to an issue-does not mean that the staff are rude or unhelpful. I've had 3 issues so far in the 2.3 years I've played the game, and have received a reply within 2 days each time, and received a satisfactory resolution each time. The staff were prompt with a response, prompt with a solution, and polite, telling me thank you for the pictures, thank you for the additional information about the problem etc. I would rate them very highly, and yes, I am a paying customer like many others here.
It's weird that this dungeon in particular is making people so mad. I mean it could have been a lot worse. Flight Eddie could have gone into Heroic Soul exclusivity like NOTB Eddie did. There could have been another round of grinding for keys and then having to play another dungeon like 1,000 times to get the rewards.
I haven't gotten Flight Eddie but I have been enjoying this one and will walk away with two minotaur characters out of it, so I'm good.
I dont know why this dungeon is causing disagreeable attitudes. Overall the dungeons are easier than previous ones and only 1 toon is exclusive. The rewards are a bit subpar. The good part is that you may be able to earn 2 new sets of talisman if you have the proper teams.
I gave up after my talisman sets, I didnt think the time spent for the few extra events souls were worth the time and ironite.
In my opinion, the dungeon is just fine. There's no pressure because most characters are available in normal souls. The only thing I'm a bit frustrated with is the event challenges making us run through 800 battles as opposed to the usual 400 or 500. No biggie for me, I can commit to it but it's a bit boring when my phone is busy and I can't do anything on it.
So I'm at the library!
About the new Orbit taliman set... any ideas about which toon would benefit the most from a 6 set skilled tali’s?
I don't like the defense talismans - skilled, onslaught, sorcery, etc.. so I tend to throw them on never used toons like wickerdeers or angry birds.. or things I just keep around for those ability achievements.
The talisman capabilities are decent, but being all 'skilled' makes them less usable in my opinion.
First thought for me was - Samurai Emperor.Quote:

Thanks for your input guys.
I didn't thought about putting them on Hallowed or Samurai because they both don’t benefit from only skilled talisman.
But I’ll give it a try to see if the extra capability will be worth it.
(sorry for my English). \m/
LOL, I found the thread pretty entertaining in between :D Still we should not take things too seriously I guess! Very short: Yes, there are connection issues (at least I have them recently once in a while), yes there are bugs and some are old, yes the game can be unfair and frustrating. The key dungeons are exactly what many players were asking for and they are good in principle: (more or less) long term motivation with guaranteed rewards. Support was always nice to me, and I am ok that the response sometimes took 2 weeks. Most of these things (if not all) can be answered by 3 things: 1) the freemium approach, 2) the dev team is small and 3) too few people play the game and/or there are no ads to generate income (which is nice of course!)
About event/dungeon:
I see no real bad things about this event and the dungeon. The only real improvement would be to let event soul frags drop, but this seems to be a very very rare occasion (only 2 times so far). These dungeons give 3* evo shards and runes, which is great as I don't play other levels regularly that drop the evo runes. Some other nice drops on top, and this time gunner soul frags which are also needed as G/A souls are that rare still. The gunner insanity challenge was a real challenge, madness is ok for farming I think and more players should be able to farm this compared to times when we only had 3 stages.
I did not test the Orbits yet, but I like the skilled subtype. Especially when you only get 1 subtype - which is the normal case (unfortunately) for rewards, skilled (or sorcery for blue) is good, as it gives both damage reductions and a bit more HP. This might help to use them without the mandatory need for a blocker.
@kkkreg: I also found it to be very different. I had some wins in a row on auto without any babysitting, then several losses in a row in the first wave, then again some wins or losses in the last wave... I lost some SoT, but I was a bit lazy and was busy with other things. So I don't think the dungeon was changed, some waves can just turn out very different depending on which character uses which skill (or e.g. which effects the passive of that one minotaur copies)
Thanks Blade. I haven't read the entire thread, but I'm guessing that what I experienced is part of the frustration. I suppose I'm glad I'm not the only one to experience it.
I even lost several runs on manual, as the dogs sometimes just did massive damage and killed my Ed! And of course Icarus' revenge can put out the lights quickly if you are unlucky.
Do you have gunner PDK? I don't have him, otherwise I would have tried to build a team around him I guess.
Blade, which level did you pull 3* evo runes? I did the acheviements with no 3* drops so I stopped.
I farm madness, but I did not take notes how many runes dropped. I sometimes have a quick look and have seem them as rewards, I think in batches of 3 runes
Worst thing about this dungeon are the paltry rewards for stretch goals. Once you have the characters, especially the Ed.. there's no point in the stretch goals.
I do but I'm currently using Esquatcho's team. Two more wins playing rd 5 manually...Quote:

Hi guys , fot the orbit talis the first name come to my mind is sekhmet , anyone can manage extra turns i guess that a good option like HE or samurai.. i burn some ironite and managed to get FoI Ed , the sentinel and the amazing gunner minotaur(!) man this guy is a destroyer ! Pair him with some other monsters like KP or Gambler and you gonna destroy everything .. even without talis on him i made a little test in the NC skull quest w/ gambler and set alongside and his basic move does a insane damage since he passive give so much buffs and golden buffs inclusive .. put some primordials on him and you can farm anywhere inclusive the news dungeons when you have a class restriction or wanna farm the hardest level w/ any color team .
Agree on gunner Minotaur he smashes. I think his basic skill description is wrong it says single target random damage but I’m pretty certain he hits all enemies.
I run the Orbit set on Alexander Eddie. It basically turns him into an almost guaranteed cleanser every turn, plus the Orbit set gives extra HP as it is a skilled setQuote:

Right 1: Lilith (Frontier, Cosmic T2 White +Void Augment)
Right 2: Prisoner (Persecution, Angel)
Akuma-4823
I used virtually the same team but just did it manually as Muzzleloader said earlier, I had a pair of Warlords into the mix on Gunner Lilith, man ‘o’ man does she do some serious damage with those Warlords! I was so impressed I had a few goes with her in Arena for shits and giggles, Ok she can be vunerable too but if the team can tough it out till it’s her turn she owned almost every buff in the arena and what’s more many of them turned into the golden version of them, one more hit from her and the entire defence team exploded in one Big Bang! The same team I had just been beaten by with a different line up...
Did anybody else get that problem? Yesterday I tried to finish the Gunner challange three hours before the event ended. I had four runs left and won five times but every single time I got a Maclo 11, had to force shut the game and it did not count as win.
Most people had connectivity issues late yesterday. They did an update about three hours before the end of the season. After the update I didnt have any issues and I ran madness to complete a stretch goal.
Just out of curiosity... wtf are illegal talisman combos. If your referring to the colour of the talisman not matching the spot it is in well not much they can do about that. Well without pissing a lot of people off.
