thanks for the explanation - in a previous post you mentioned that the stone talisman is working properly (i.e adds the 1% def buff from HP but does not show in the stats ..) that being said - is it the same way for the iron talisman ? i have both stone and iron talisman .. none of them are adding the bonus def. is it only cosmetic ?Quote:

Also, for "increased chance" to get FotD Eddie, I opened more tyan 50 souls now and still nothing. Is that the "great chance"?
Thank you for your thorough response. I will be sure to share it with the team when we're all back in the office.Quote:

We allow players to get way more souls than there are characters, so it's impossible to not end up with lots of duplicates.
While we really want to get something like Sacrifice out as soon as possible, we ultimately feel that needing more activities is also really important, which is why we wanted to do something like we've done for Halloween. It's a difficult balance, though, and everyone involved (you as players and we as developers) want to do more, and do it faster, and do it better... but there's only so much time in the day.
I'm not sure about the iron talismans, and I can't check on that remotely. I'll look into it when I'm back in the office.Quote:

Many of my characters require talisman reworks now too. At this rate playing every day, almost the entire day, it's going to take me approx 20 weeks to upgrade talisman sets for my existing characters. Which is absurd.
It feels like it's a huge waste of time. I considered buying the expensive Halloween pack today, but I'm afraid the drop rate is still a deal breaker for the upgrade runes for me to seriously consider spending more money on this game. I'd love to support it, but why would I if playing it feels like a waste? I am sorry for being critical, but it's how I have felt about this game for some time, it's a bitter pill.
In addition, I cannot stress enough how frustrating it has become dealing with inventory issues with regards to talismans, runes, shards, characters, and souls. There simply is not enough room and it's hinging upon an update.
Thank you so much for the new and wonderful content, it's fantastic. And thank you for the current balancing and bug fixes, it's very clear you've all put a lot of work into this for us.
You promised the amount of gold in my inventory would steadily decrease over time, and it's been the complete opposite: my gold has doubled since the October 18th update ->there are not nearly enough upgrade materials in this game. I've gone from 3mil to 6.5mil looking for runes mostly.
I just get locked out of the game due the update. Even tried to re install, but I'm still getting an error loop in title screen, "Loading files from asset bundle IME RLM 394". After this message the loading/update bar starts again and again.
I sent an email to support, but I'm crying here too. I dont wanna to miss the event.
Thanks for the update. I'm fine with the pricing since the tuning update it's obvious things are being very seriously and well thought out so my wallet is open since then and my last purchase turned out fantastic. I'm especially enthusiastic about contributing cash with this Halloween event and all that, more variety and ways of getting things I want.Quote:

I don't know if this bug has been reported but... I can't buy anything from trooper store i keep getting the message you don't have enough trooper points use your troopers to earn more points. I have 70000 trooper points saved.
I sold another 4* toon to see if that helped. It did not.
Sold 3 stacks of shards and 3 stacks of runes to make more room. No help.
Tried buying skillshards, ass/gunner souls both types I get the same message.
Also don't know what the drop rate on the pumpkin toons are but it took 15 full
Stacks of regulate souls to get the blue one it was my last one needed.
This was a fun event but it ate through my soul stash, over 200 rare souls and about 20 stacks of regular souls. At least I have room for new souls... To bad I can't farm them like I used too.
Also madness fear of the dark says it drops skill shards. But I haven't seen one drop and I have ran it for hours and hours. Got some rare souls a few tailismans but no skill shards. Mabey, I have bad luck.
Again nice event.
That is something I'm planning on smoothing out.Quote:

It's not a major issue but it will nag on me only having 2 pmpkins ... :)
Thanks,
love this update ... well done and the new graphics are amazing ...
Thanks Sparton & Kaz! The dungeon tweaks helped a bunch. I was finally able to complete gunner 9 + 10 and also able to do my first 5* evolve. It's still challenging, but not overpowering. Nice compromise I think.
This was the best update up to date!
Chars i got :
Grim Reaper Eddie
Fear Of The Dark Eddie
Gunner COTD
Sentinel Soulless Demon
Sentinel Allied Bomber Boy
Red Rocket Dog
Blue and Red Pumpkins
Gunner Dog
Wicker Golem (Assassin)
Chattering Skulls (Gunner and Assassin)
Those chars came from Rare souls, and i got the skulls from regular gunner/assasin souls. With Legendary Soul, i got my second Red Pyro Soldier. Well, i cannot complain since i got cool chars! Keep up the good work devs!
Wow! Lucky you.Quote:

No Corrupt General, Alliance General, Nomad, Prisoner, any COTD and what i was after the most- no F'N FOTD Eddie!!! so as easy as all that wealth came ,so it went and im left with 3 useless pumpkins. Makes me kinda wonder: Who would be stupid enough to pay 100$ to basically get 2 skill shards and some vendor trash??? that's really something i would never touch with my luck even if i was a millionaire. but i have always been a bad luck legend,no matter what game i play,so i just turn the other cheek.
But overall a great update guys.
Thank you so much. It's appreciated.Quote:

Absolutely maddening
How the heck are we supposed to upgrade anything with a drop rate this stingy? It made SO much more sense when the Rainbow shards were the bottleneck, not the colored, as the colored dungeons only come by once a week - Rainbows are available five days a week. I'd seriously consider reverting to the old drop rate where colored shards fell more freely and rainbow were the bottlenecks. You could grind the dungeons every day and get six Rainbow shards to upgrade one character a week, which seems fair. At this rate, it will take six to eight weeks to upgrade my next gunner! That's crazy!
Red talismans are bottlenecked too due to a windfall of Rainbow runes but inadequate low level 1* and - especially - 2* Runes
Then advancing the talismans becomes another issue
I really appreciate that there is a dialog going here. The Halloween event was awesome. But there are now issues that weren't present before the update that are significantly impacting the this game. Hoping they're getting some attention!
and above all let me add that rainbows drop really often in Battlefield and Underworld, i got like 60 of them now xDQuote:

The new eddies add some nice new offense/defense abilities which have been fun to play with.
My current favorite lineup:
FoTD Eddie/Grim Reaper Eddie
Sentinel allied Bomber Boy with energy and blind talismans. Energy is huge, blinding is great, and defense boost to start helps FoTD Eddie.
Gunner CoTD (still jazzed I finally got her) with thief and assassin talismans.
I basically always have power and fury maxed, and can add a third Eddie based on Boss color. I basically end almost every battle with 95%+ health, without health replenished.
One thing I have recently struggled with is the Doom potential when the 3rd Beast spans. Nothing can cure it now it seems once you have it. Mummy Eddie used to cleanse it. Really makes me want the Pharoah Eddie now as that is the only full proof way to prevent that....with an Eddie. Other strategies?
I've also noticed a significant drop in 3* rainbow runes (talisman upgraders). I used to get about 4-5/ day, now I'm lucky to get 1 or 2.
As noted, hats off to the developers. Great job on breathing new life to the game.
Been playing everyday since July, addictive.

I thought ailing kingdom madness was supposed to drop 3* items after the update. I'm getting lots of 1* stuff
Devs - was the minion hit timing update implemented per the tuning doc on page one of this thread? For me at least it still seems you need to tap well before the circles overlap for a perfect hit?
Not sure what our backup plan is. I know it's something we're discussing as a team once we're all in office on Monday; everyone who can work on fixing the issue still is working on it right now.Quote:

nope, just the odd rare soul now and again.Quote:

On the whole it is a nice update. The challenges provide some incentive to vary the grind and the souls + skillshards boost was appreciated. I got lucky and got FotD Eddie without too much trauma so can relax a bit until we get some more character slots.
Very much enjoying the event! I haven't got FOTD Eddie yet--and I seriously doubt I will... ever... because I'd like to :cool: --and I haven't seen a single rare soul drop since my first play through, but I did manage to score a full set of Barrier Vampirics, so I'm happy.
Permit me to go off-topic for a moment though, since I know this thread is being monitored by developpers. I've noticed that my Wicker Dog Queen's Magic Charge skill, which is supposed to grant a magic buff to all allies for 2 turns doesn't do so... ever. When the buff is applied, the icon displays the number 2, but as soon as that character hits, the buff disappears. If the character doesn't hit that turn, (as with the WDQ herself, since she just cast the buff), the number turns from 2 to 1, as it should. I only realized this was glitching recently when I was applying skillshards... I had just assumed it was a one-turn buff, since it always played out that way. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, so I just figured I'd bring it to light.
This was awesome!!! Thank you so much.
Devs: Since the update I cannot purchase anything using trooper points (get a message that says I don't have enough even though I have 53,000) and I can't upgrade any talismans to level 4 (because it won't save when I exit). Im playing on iOS.
I finally got my one 3* Yellow shard that I set out to get in the dungeon today
After 248 SoT
For one frickin' shard
If this is the new norm, no more character evolving - WAY too time consuming!
Same with pharao dog king magic charge.Quote:

That's actually how that's suppose to function. Wickerdog Queen doesn't give Magic Up, it gives Magic Charge. Magic Charge gives a much larger boost to a character's Magic stat for the sake of the next magic-based skill it does if it happens before the Magic Charge wears off.Quote:

Same idea for the other "Blah Charge" skills. You can eyeball in combat which is a "charge" status effect if it has an orange status icon instead of a blue one. Basically, it's stronger than what Magic Up would do, but only for 1 attack.
If the workaround of ensuring you don't have 50+ stacks of souls or 50+ stacks of shards/runes doesn't work, then that is a new bug that's been reported. Not sure where we're at for fixing that one right now.Quote:

I know it's a semantic point, and a minor one at that, but I think that one word would make that skill description much more obvious. Just a thought. :cool: Thanks again.
Sorry about all the criticism Sparton, I really enjoyed the event even though the drops seemed a little hard to come by. Super cool idea. LOVE the new graphics. I really like the direction you and your team is taking this game.
That's why I'll never have a FOTD Eddie. Blew 60 souls and still nothing.Quote:

Really if FOTD Eddie is that high chance to get with 60 souls I should have pulled at least 3 of it. For me it seens he's as rare as any other premium toon
No worries mate. For you and everyone else leaving feedback, good or ill, we still appreciate your thoughts so we can better calibrate future events and features.Quote:

Otherwise I can't get the 4* achievement - because I have only 100 spots to fill and I won't sell any 5* character to have enough space to get this achievement.
You only have to get them from souls, no need to keep them.
As for the 5* i think it doea only count as 5 star
The limited time Halloween secret location does not count as part of the achievement to clear secret locations.
Is that correct?
And I'm still out of the game. Any suggestion about what to do? Get the same error above everytime I open the game. Google Play says the game is updated, but the title screen always try to download something, and then te bar jumps to te end and show the error.Quote:

Up the irons.
In addition to what Browno noted, you can evolve 3 star characters to 4 star characters to make progress for getting 4 stars. Additionally, we'll be adding more character inventory expansions, so this should be achievable without doing anything dastardly to existing 5 star characters you have (even if it will take a while).Quote:
