I agree with you, man! OMFG is what comes to mind! They might as well name the game "Iron Maidens" those chicks who are trying to sing Iron Maiden's songs... complete disaster, same as the game!

About the whole Thorn shields are broken thing, I've been through multiple occasions where just one person would have Thorn shields and the other team would carry some type of reflect shield (Usually Warrior Undead Rescuer with his own shield) and if they take any damage at all, in any form, my entire team is permadeath'd and heal blocked. On top of that this was tested on many occasions and if someone has permadeath, they won't gain Critical Strike. Also, sometimes I'd use the Clairvoyant's fury and some people won't be healed like they should when they have those negative effects.
All in all, thorn shields are still very cancerous to the community and could stand to be adjusted in some way.
Or at least fixed so that they, and their effects work properly.
I wanted to see since this update has anyone else seen severe slow down when it comes to navigating screens and in the arena. I get about 10 battles in and everything starts slowing down and I do a hard close and reset just so I don't risk anything going wrong in the arena.
I agree, thorns are garbage. I have tested them and honestly I cannot tell what is happening with them most of the time. Sometimes they reflect true or physical damage and sometimes they don’t. And why do the effects proc on multiple players with a one on one strike? They are just to variable to manage, they remove skill from the fights and turn them into random luck fests where you just have to hope things go in your favor.
Also, seems that if both sides put up thorns the side that put them up second has the advantage, which is total nonsense.
I'm with DaveMurray on this one, I think the Iron Maidens are pretty talented and do a great job. Shame the same can't be said about the development on the game.
Apparently the thought is that new toons need to have skills that are the equivalent of 3 of the older toons.
Make most power skills cost 5 when many should be a minimum of 7.
And, most important of all, if they're a female toon they must be scantily clad and move like a stripper or prostitute. Maybe if you got Charlotte in there it would be appropriate.
Personally, I'm all for scantily clad buxom women. :D But, that's not what the theme of an iron maiden game should be. Especially since now the toughest teams in PvP are comprised mostly of hentai Valkyries, and the only reason they have Eddie is because they have to.
For me it seems a little slower, but not that slow.
Iron Maidens a complete disaster? I think they are good as a cover band instead..
Anyways, i was wondering what's up lately with the permadeath? I don't know if that's a bug or not, but in the Arena i often get it on my team from enemy characters who normally don't have such ability, nor i see them having any talismans set which can deal permadeath (if there's any! I honestly can't remember atm)
The damage takers/blockers are still taking all the damage when their passive is supposed to be blocked.
& thorns still crashing the game
The tuning did hurt my team somewhat, as I was using both Wrath and Vhe. But even after the tuning they are still two of the best toons that I have, albeit slightly less useful. I like the new Valkryies; every band has to have groupies!

I'm convinced the reflection issues are fixed now. :rolleyes:
Weren't there supposed to be stability improvements for BNW? I've had one successful run on GoL X out of 6 total attempts. 5 freakin' crashes guys. Ugh here goes attempt #7.
i froze blue son and killed him, he couldn't revive and the game stuck ih this pose:

These thorn talismans are killing me... i don't get it:
1)Their description says they have a 35% chance to inflict permadeath and heal block, while it happens around 90 percent of times on almost my whole team.
2)I don't read anywhere in the description that they also remove enemies' beneficial effects (like it happens with void talismans for example), yet it is happening.
Is all of this supposed to happen? (if so they are extremely overpowered and should be revisited)
Or is it another bug to solve?
In both cases this should be investigated as soon as possible, cause it makes the arena fights annoying
Devs could you please look into the performance after this update. Ever since the update I have had slow down and lag occur after about 10-20 minutes of playing. I have been doing hard closes and logging back in every 20 minutes makes the game basically unplayable like this and it makes me very weary to even try the arena some times because it will start lagging right when I need that perfect hit.
Fix old stuff b4 adding new stuff.
Very similar thing happened again:
- first got GS to 0hp but he won't die
- next turn some effects were applied to him (when he should be dead and then a small hp bar appeared suddenly)
- last turn un-killable golden son got freeze applied, then when freeze tried to apply damage GS disappeared and game froze instead had to close app as it was unresponsive.
@NF please bonify sp soul fragments x50 as that was going to be the RNG roll for the win and 1 SoT.

I had a similar thing happen to me. Looks like Gunner Golden sun is the new glitch character to use to ensure crash victories.
I level up to 99 like four days ago, every time that i rank up I like to take a screenshot when the level show up, however when i start the 99 level, every advanced was not showed, always show just 0%
Yesterday i rank up to the expected 100 level
but i didn't noticed, the game didn't show it to me
just matter of nostalgia, but i missed this screenshot, like it had never happened
Anyone else getting a lot of errors tonight? I couldn't do skull quests for awhile today and literally getting an error every other battle in the arena at this point. Have had to do constant hard closes over and over again since the daily reset.
Reflected damage still triggers effects from shields. Just great when you use Warrior Troll and the opponent have disruption shields and gets the first turn. Once it's your turn your team will have 5+ debuffs per toon.
AoF passive still bugged, Prisoner passive still bugged, HP-bars still showing incorrect amount of health after multiple hit attacks.
What have all you players done last month to improve the game?
I have played the game and i enjoy doing so, sure there are things that can be improved but getting complaints all the time on a product is not especially fun and a bit contraproductive sometimes if all you get is complaints. Im pretty sure the devs do what they can to listen to the players and improve the game as much as they can for the moment.
Nobody is forcing you to play and there is also the possibility ti make your own game if you want a perfect game fir yourself.
Well it might be good for you to really read the forums before posting, players do as much as they can, there are many threads with great ideas and suggestions that would improve the game if NF should implement these, players also help report and track bugs for free, yes players become free testers for a game.
I don't really know what you want players to do other than support the game and not sugar coat it, if it was open source I bet some would jump to help improve it.
Do you realize some of these bugs are over a year old and have not been solved yet?, don't be surprised to read all this also QA is really bad on this game.
Bugs are so obvious that is almost tempting to say that Devs release the new versions knowing that they contain new and old bugs with the idea to fix them later, unfortunately they are also really slow at this causing grief to the player base, the game has improved a lot in many ways and that's great thanks to the devs but that doesn't excuse the fact that it really needs to be fixed to live up to it's potential and the Iron Maiden name.
To be fair i have played since 2 weeks after launch and read the forums everyday. What i do see is more and more negativity on the forum even for things that have been improved. Complaining about getting things for free like satellite 15 and more character slots etc.
I believe in being positive because that makes people feel rewarded for their work.
I also have a job but i don't have to be a douche to others because of that. I do not know what you do at your workplace but im pretty sure everyone do whatever they can at work.
If you were proud of what you accomplished at your workplace and people say you still do a shitjob it would not be as encouraging even if you did improve things.
Unless you know exactly what they do and what their respective work orders are you cant say anything. Thats the same as people saying you do shit at your work since you have nothing to show.
The whole thing is what kind of mentality people have. I play because i find it fun nothing else. Sure i would like a few things to improve but nothing is crucial for my gameplay.
There is two type of people allright... those who think they get more flies with honey than vinegar and those who tell it straight. The game sucks right now. It has for a while. NF is basically sniffing their own shit and some people don't mind joining them and some do.
The reason people complain is because the effort put forth is terrible. Because we want to be honest, not blind. If NF was doing right by their players and really listening, we would all be thanking them, not just those who appreciate mediocre effort. Usually if you get paid to do a job and your work is terrible, you get fired. But they have an agenda and its taking as much money from Maiden fans as they can. If that happens even though the work is mediocre, they're successful.
Positive outlooks are great but telling people everything is fine when it isn't, that isn't positivity, its denial. Its lying to yourself and everyone else when they can see the truth for themselves. NF knows the work is shit. A lot of the posts are about bugs in the update. Thats not negativity, its truth. If we cant be honest with ourselves or each other, how in the hell can we be positive? By turning a blind eye? Fuck all that noise! Wake the fuck up and tell it like it is. Shit stinks. Be honest. Admit it.
Where the fuck are your game testers NF? This is fucking ridiculous.
You guys are wasting your time, they don't even have the decency to reply anymore. Stop being their free game testers.
Well I don't see anything to be positive about.
The event sucks.
The update sucks.
The satellite 15 is worthless unless this is your first day playing. (2000 gold? seriously??)
The game works 1/5th of the time.
Valkyries are anime, and stupid.
The ritual souls gave me 3* characters every time.
Edit: forgot I got a 4* magus mayan priestess- That i'll never use (why I forgot)
Thanks dude, I tried not to be negative or demeaning to anyone lol... Objective? Combative? Absolutely! And proud lmao!
Tried logging in and getting back to it yesterday but I finally caved in and maxed the purple nurple instead, put her on my arena defense and logged out... no attacks since the update, no defenses either. Theres a positive for ya lol
The game surely needs to be fixed in many points, but that being said, there are two scenarios:
- either some people complain too much and use dramatic tones
- or, they really don't like the game as they state on the forum, therefore they must be so masochist to keep playing a game they hate so much
and i have an idea about what's the right one :rolleyes:
