Anniversary Week - From July 1st to July 8th!

Man well I'm back for a bit since I noticed a new event. Looks okay I guess but they could have done better than this it's the freaking 1 year anniversary do something BIG! Although I do really like the new missions fun way to be engaged in the game to wait a couple more years until BNW or Midnight city comes out(more like never city).

I also opened a pack of 10 anniversary souls and old RNG fucked me over again got all 3* dupes not even a single 4*. Then opened a random rare soul I had lying out and got a 4* dupe Magus COTD which I got like 4 times before so more sacrifice stuff.

Sigh when will devs learn that RNG doesn't work in games it just creates uncertainty and confusion on who's getting what. They need to make more missions where we are guarantee a toon like going for Grim Reaper eddie before. Do an X amount of missions and get rewarded some cool trooper. Make it hard as well or something.

I mean I personally like the new Pharaoh dog sometimes to work towards and looks pretty decent for PVP or PVE in general anyone have him yet? Is he useful for PVP or anything that damage minus looks like he could be handy for my Cyborg eddie to last a bit longer.

Anyway pretty lackluster event this time like always but better than nothing I guess. It's good that there is something new to do almost every week now.

I have had a good week with the Anniversary event. I bought I think a total of 14 or 15 anniversary souls. A lot of 3-4 star draws, but I got Viking Eddie and Coal Giver Eddie (in fact he was my I-can-buy-just-one-last-soul draw, so that was a huge piece of luck.) I was too sick to play at Christmas and missed all of the Christmas characters but now I have Coal Giver Eddie, Possessed Snowman and Cheering Wickerdeer. I cannot complain about my luck this week. :)

Yeah you are right. I was doing the 400 essence sacrifice (for 4 rewards) and I wasn't getting any (did like 30 or so) , maybe a bug?. I tried the 300 or 200 essence sacrifice and I'm getting rare souls. Cheers for your reply, I wouldn't have tried tier sacrifice without it.

Shadowed :)

Thanks for the tip, man...

Cheers,

P.S. @ Devs: The Daily login screen haven't popped out for me for today - wasn't able to collect my daily reward... Could you fix this? Thanks

No problem!

Those 2 free souls are nice. Considering I've gotten bugger all for souls from the soul caches. Well, I got 1 rare soul from one today.

Thank you so much man! Right opened the 2 rare souls and got... CG. I can't believe it!!! My second big win from a modest rare soul this week (first was Mystic Eddie) \m/

Event is going good for me so far. Other than having hell getting permadeath on those artillery dogs, but finally managed that.

Characters of note from pulls this week.

Gunner CotD, Assassin Corrupt Rescuer (think she needs some love to be useful in pvp), Cyborg , Tailgunner, dupe Shaman, dupe FotD, numerous 3* dupes and several 4* dupes. Decided I'd try the event souls (despite my normal lack of luck with them) and worked out great, managed Coalgiver, Hunter Wickerdeer and the haunted pumpkin trio.

Thank you devs, I know that doesn't seem to be said often enough. Still facing bugs of course, including 3 losses in a row in pvp due to bugged characters. The better drop rates make it a whole lot easier to dismiss though, would be nice if they could remain this high or at least somewhat closer to this level.

How did you manage that? I haven't been able to get mine to register...

Finally got one to register tonight with a lvl 1 Desert Warrior.

12 G/A Rare souls today for a Cyborg Eddie!!!!!!! I wanted VH Eddie to help me complete LOL mission but Cyborg will do nicely :) Also 2x Gunner CotD! (new toon), 2x Wicker Golem (new toon), Burning Mummy Dog (new toon) and the rest dupes including a 4* GS.

5 other rare souls including a Magus for bunch of dupes, none 4*. Win some and you lose some but overall I'd state today as a success.

So to recap over past 2 days I've gone through 30 rare souls and I got a 5* Eddie, four 4* toons and rest all 3* and mostly dupes. So about 1/6 chance to get 4* or better? These current drop rates are improved but they aren't ridiculous either and just giving away rare toons easily. So the question would have to be why don't these drop rates remain beyond this event??! I can't see why not as I'm considering using trooper badges or ironite to buy more souls but I'm still cautious as I know I can still be disappointed. Just my 2 cents for the day.

Skill shards should be removed from sacrifice! out of 4 exalted sacrifices i have got 3x2 skill shards :(
how does that compare to 20 souls?

with so many places you can get them nowadays i dont think 2 shards compare to 20-30 souls. especially in such an event, where souls actually give something...

It only worked on the cache quest for me, didn't register on the horde. I used SoL Eddie, Death Dog and Assassin Axis Bomber Boy. No energy skills until I got to the Artillery Dogs. Then I'd use AABB's power skill, which seemed to be way less than 50% on applying the effect. Used SoL's heal just to keep from attacking and Death dog just attacked the dogs of war first. Took 3 days to get finished. Day 1, never got it to work. Day 2 managed one permadeath and today got the other two.

Thanks 4 the hint! Got 2 dupes but still better than nothing to sacrifice.

Another day, another try, another wasted chance. I don't know what was wrong today, I went into the Horde Quest with a Prisoner (from troopers) and a Desert Rider. Prisoner smoothly disabled the passives and I managed to easily inflict 4x permadeaths on the artillery dogs... but neither one was registered!! Its because of using a trooper or not....?!? I'm getting crazy. :)

And in the cache quest my toons are too powerful.

I have a feeling it works on the cache rather than the hoard. I don't think a trooper stopped me from getting it either. Perhaps you need to drop a heap of common souls and hope you get another level 1 desert warrior you can use? Just give it green mystical talismans to help it survive without doing much damage.

Maybe it works just on the cache but they should've said that in the trial description.. anyways, your suggestion is good, will try to get a Desert Warrior (not Rider like I've said before). Got a platoon of them which went all sacrificed, the one I'm using right now was spared and promoted just to this special occasion. Now I should pray for the RNG gods for an other. :)

If it is only the cache as I suspect going by how others have had success there too, its possible its a bug and not intended. I also sacrificed quite a few DWs over time but recently decided to keep most toons if I didn't have them already just in case. Then these missions came about so that turned out to be a good decision. If you can't get a desert warrior do you have a mummy dog/burning mummy dog or magus axis soldier? they have a chance to inflict permadeath but not a sure thing like the desert warrior so might take a few more tries.

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.

Which isn't to say we won't make a package like that like that in the future, or other deals like the one-time Eternity Soul, but I don't think we'd add something like that as a routine purchase.

I understand your point, but there are smaller things that can be done in the arena store, such as taking the limit of 1 per week in souls and including G / A soul in the arena store. Until today I do not understand this protection of you with this soul. Basically it would look the same in the store with the troop points but as more flexibility to decide what to buy during the week using troopers points or iron coins.

Cheers

I do like the events going on, but you need to give us some kind of limit on getting the same tired old 3 star dupes please! I did just get 25 precious fragments from one drop on madness powerslave though.

Try to not make everything about high dollar cash buys please, even though I am buying. Someone has to be a coiner right?

I did this with Soldier Eddie, Sentinel Undead Rescuer and Assassin Axis Bomber Boy. Remove Immunity with the rescuer, use Soldier's roulette and use Bomber Boy's power move. You can keep them alive as long as you want. You can do this in one playthrough as long as you have these 3 characters.

There is a known issue where the Daily Login Rewards popup will not trigger if you're still in the game when the reset occurs. It should appear when you restart the app (but if you do too many other actions before restarting the app, your account will be silently awarded that day's reward and will not see the popup).

Can we expect something else from this event? or this is IT?

Thanks, it's good to know that better leave the game just before the reset time... I got my reward later on todays morning as logged for the first time since leaving the game...

Everything's cool then - thanks again

Cheers,

W

P.S. Got another fine toons off missions, so temporary I've supported you guys buying some ''mid'' pack... So far I am very pleased of the event, thank you - see that you celebrating my birthday with me, so I want to celebrate yours with you as well:

If anybody asking:

Non dupes:

Shaman
Wicker Man
Corrupt Rescuer (Assassin) - I've got all the girls now, yay!

Dupes:

3 x Corrupt Rescuer (Magus) - one from the magus soul, 2 from rare - hmm... It's some kind ''Rescue Day'' today? LOL
1 x Desert Warrior
Some festive stuff like Pumpkins etc.

Looks like both MoonShadow and I have played Hoard with no freaking permadeaths being registered. It has be Cache only which should then be registered as a bug according to the mission's description. Anyway, thanks for the advice Askora. I'll have it give it another try with less powerful toons. I'll have to remove all talismans for Cache.

Be sure to check this thread for the most recent free Rare Soul and Ironite redemption codes. There have been a few over the past day or so.

Just got 10 anniversary souls... no Eddie :( just BNW, Halloween, and Christmas characters, some of them dupes.

Just dropped 2 anniversary souls
- Mystic Eddie
- Gunner Golden Son
Great, but both dupes. Sacrifice awaits.

So... I'm horrible at math... If there is 2x greater chance of 4-5 star characters, what is the actual chance? So far, I've opened about 7 rare souls and have not gotten a 4 or 5 star. Anyone know what the actual chance of getting a 4-5 star character out of rare soul is?

I've been thinking that these events do not always work for everyone, I'm open about 6 anniversary souls and the 2 characters I got were 2 NBOL warrior, the same happened with the previous event, I do not know how this works.

Meh, I've hung on, spewed leaving, complained, thanked, gave kudos, tried to give feedback.... ultimately, the game is a suck. EVERY soul, save for one has been a three star dupe. Fuck it. You want my money? You've gotten a shit ton. I'm over it.

One skill Shard this month on skill quests that drop less loot than Underworld madness? Lol,? Ok.

I'll give my trooper badges, and maybe buy my arena loot... but with the nerfs and FU's, I'm over it.

I pray you stay a viable game, as I live the band, and think some in NF are cool. Great customer service, cool you chat...

But overall, you care fuck all for your long term peeps.
Cheers

Today I had 2 rare souls, 2 warrior rare souls, 1 magus rare soul and 1 sentinel rare soul. All but the sentinel soul yielded me 3* dupes, but the sentinel gave me a Harpy! Been striking out with warrior and magus characters but Sentinel 4* toons have been rearing their heads. I just want one more Eddie and I'll be extremely happy :)

The fact that it is 2x doesn't mean that RNG is gone... Some will get everything most will get sh1t as always.
Since anniversary week started i opened about 300(maybe more i've lost count) rare and above lvl souls and i got one 5* Eddie(Mystic which i didn't take with 200 of his souls the previous week).
All the rest were 3* and 4* crap as usual except 2 characters i wanted, green droid from anniversary soul and GCR from a g/a soul. Even the 2 legendaries i opened were 4*.
I also obtained Prisoner but it was from the mythical soul which is a guaranteed 5* so i don't count that.

Normally, the chance is about 1 in 10 (as per estimates made from larger data sets collected by forumists) to get a 4-5* from a rare soul, so it should be about 1 in 5 during this week. I've opened a total of 52 souls (a mix of rare, warrior, sentinel, magus, G/A, anniversary) today and have pulled two 5* and nine 4* from those, so the 1 in 5 seems correct.

Finally managed to clear this trial. I was lucky in getting a Desert Warrior from a Warrior soul this morning, which was already lvl 3. Put some green talis (mystical) and paired him with a lvl 3 Warrior Undead Soldier (also just with greens, for no extra damage), which can remove beneficials with his primary attack (75% chance), and it worked like a charm. :)

Today, I didn't try again Hoard, but it worked in the Cache. Just bring some low-leveled characters, with some green mystical talismans and it should work.

I managed to get Mystic, Storm and Carriage Rider Eddie's from the event. Not to mention some very nice 4* like the Corrupt Harpy. That's from around 13 souls. I doubt I'll get Coalgiver Eddie or Warrior CoTD with the time left but I'll be happy with my luck for a good while.

Well after throwing in some spare 4* toons and dupes and achieving an exalted sacrifice and filling the purple ring, I gotta say I'm a little bummed out. I was cursed with the 2 skill shard reward from the sacrifice and the ring bonus awarded me with 4 more skill shards and 10 rare GA souls. And said souls yielded one 4* golden son and nothing else... I think I'm done with this event lol. I like the skill shards, I have 8 now counting the two I had before the sacrifices and I'll probably use those on my new eternity soul I'll have this week (fingers crossed for no second Beelzebub) but it did take kind of a while to get those souls. Oh well, those toons weren't exactly A+ fighters. I suppose that after all of this, I agree with some of the people who were talking about this.

2 skill shards is a dreadful reward for an exalted sacrifice.

Took the plunge and bought a 10x Anniversary pack. As for new toons I got Mystic Eddie (wanted Viking but its an Eddie so no complaints!), Magus Golden Son, Festive Wickerdeer and Cheering Wickerdeer. Rest were dupes including a MCR. 3 out of 10 for 4-5* toons isn't too bad really. Only toons I'm missing and I'd take happily are Viking, Shaman, Coalgiver Eddies of course, Assassin/Gunner CRs, Assassin and Sentinel GSs, Assassin NBOL and Warrior Undead Rescuer. Not fussed about Possessed Snowmans, Haunted Pumpkins and whatnot. Not sure I should roll the dice or not though....I now kinda need the ironite to buy talisman packs to power up all the new toons I have.

I bought 2 packs of 10 souls...only dupes and tons of lame pumpkins.

Waste of ironite.
