Here's the main thing I don't get.....
I have all characters pretty much max'ed out...
So why on earth is it so difficult for me to auto-play the Raven's dungeon or LOL 15??? I SHOULD be whipping through these with not much effort.. but nope.. I'm lucky if I get a 60% win rate on auto. That seems unsettled and like the relics I have are being countered FAR too much. Same goes for teh Airstrip... with all teh relics why are these ow-level dungeons so dependent upon one of the character having Orbit or Celestial talismans (on a 3 star character no less) just to complete them????
Wish I'd known about this before I just finally dropped my Viral Frontier Eddie soul so I could power through some Gold Frontier Keys before the Warrior LoL dungeon dropped yesterday!!!
Ohhh, a new two set talisman that is much better than any other 5 or 4 set, like frontier that are useless.
I've had no problem farming raven or airstrip, basically no issues farming anything except LoL 15. I do need an orbit for raven, but I sisnt need anything special for airstrip. I don't have defense relics maxed yet, but all offensive relics maxed.Quote:

Poor Mariner.... he was supposed to be cool from the start. It has taken so long to correct him, people most likely have given up on him and don't realize how cool he has become.
And your "Hotfux".... with Awakening cost "correction".... shame on you.
What you see as a correction is what we see as price gouging!
(3.3 million increased to 10.6 million gold)
See I have all relics.. and I believe they play a large role. Or at least a larger role than devs will let on.Quote:

The key character for airstrip is the convinct ... not a single loss with itQuote:

Not sure why you would be different Yup as you are likely way above me on allies to choose from and talisman sets....I do have all relics but only just got that a couple of weeks ago.
Bakura had a great starting team to use in raven (I then simply used each new character you win and gave them a strong set of talisman and repeat to the end) and for airstrip I just used the allies you needed for event and stuck strong talisman on most of them.
Overall the changes look fine to me - good to see some updates to older Eddies for sure - poor old Vampire Hunter was looking quite sad and not used him in a very long time.....looks to be back to being useful again, same for Grimey. Good to see fixes for Level 15 too as well as the drops - shame that was not out as a hotfix! I wonder when this is likely to drop - before or after the Haloween frag event?
I'm really glad Vampire Hunter Eddie is finally getting an update. He used to be a real force to be reckoned with but has fallen behind like the other older Eddies. The Mariner upgrade will be very useful too.
It says a fix for 4* and 5* Colorless Evo runes from dropping in lieu of 3*.
So were these not supposed to drop? What are we to do with these that we acquired? Need more info.
Yes, ..... I agree. I have over 500 total of 4* & 5*.... useless.Quote:

I feel these days, I'm hanging on by a thread.
Shame that the game doesn't allow trading between players - I'm doing my damndest to get 8 more 5* colorless so I can fully awaken. Meanwhile, I have tons of random stuff I don't really need...Quote:

I think a place where we could post toons/talis/resources and what we want in trade would help us all get something out of it.
I know newbies with 3 Dark Lilith's.... maybe they would trade for an extra Eddie I have that was an event exclusive. That was available before they joined. It would be a win/win/win.... for me , them, and the company (cuz we are satisfied players who stay with the game.)
Nodding Frog could still make money on things that are exempt from being traded.
That would be totally awesome! I'd easily trade a twice-awakened duplicate warrior LoL for a Charlotte, or my extra set of Viper talis for Orbits, or I'd buy 5* colorless shards for some of my extra Sands of War or other awakening materials or whatnot...
Is there a place to submit suggestions to the developers? Maybe they'd implement something like this - especially if there was a "fee" like on eBay (like, you have to spend 10 Ironite to make a transaction, etc)?
What other games allow trading between players?
I dunno, lots of board games? I don't really play many video games, but then again, not many video games are this addicting (and Iron Maiden themed)...Quote:

I would give my account away if it wasnt linked.
In Spore, all user accounts on the same install exist within the same universe. You can find another game save on the map, drop resources on a planet, log in with the other account and pick up the resources.
Vampire Hunter Eddie (and all other old toons) needs higher base stats and not only higher damage.
As a glasscannon he is useless.
Earlier today I was thinking about your uncle. The stories you have shared stick w/ me.Quote:

One ex-gamer sacked all of his team before quitting.... just to make sure he couldn't return.
Maybe there needs to be a Mobile Gamers Anonymous group..... ya know like when alcoholics quit drinking.
They say in the forum rules you will be banned for selling accounts.Quote:

I am waiting for the Halloween sac event to see if I stay or not. I was told that 20-40 MM gold could easily be used last pumpkin sacfest. Wondering how many blew their gold on awakening that may not take advantage of a sac event like that again. In this game resource management over immediate gains is a hard decision.
Somehow it's worth it when you check your arena defense team wins, cuz your Maxed W. LoL has been kicking arse.
But now (after Hotfux) it's 10.6 mill. gold to max a toon.
Lollll,they cant bann me for that. I own it and paid alot of money into it. U know that tag on a matress? Well i cut it offQuote:

We still have a dungeon and frag event before the sacrifice event.
Am loving the updates to my old skool faves in this one! Bass Eddie has always been my #1 Magus Eddie and now hes new and improved! Woot!
So there's definitely going to be a Vampire Hunter Eddie Variant for the Dracula dungeon, that's nice! As for the other changes, it is nice to see Bass Eddie really getting that support. Grim Reaper Eddie is still going to suck, and the Ancient Mariner is really starting to look good. Quantum Talismans are still not good, so whatever. Lycan talismans are looking amazing though!
Hope we can see dracula as character i don't want to play against VHE...
Can't believe that's the only buff Grim is getting. Look at all the other 5 star characters in this update and Grim just gets a measly buff to his fury which when maxed only has an 85% of applying doom. Ferryman and M LOL can doom from basic attacks. I mean he's the Grim Reaper, his fury should automatically kill at least one character regardless of buffs. Plus his stats suck and he can't cleanse at all and can only effectively heal himself which is a waste cause that attack does terrible damage and the heal isn't even 100%. Even shit SOL Eddie has a basic that heals the whole team. Grim is a natural 5 star and all his moves should be completely revamped. Sucks cause he was my first natural 5 star Eddie. I've played since day one and that's how bad my luck use to be with the Book of Souls
I totally agree with you. The fun of using a host of different characters has dissipated. It’s all about talismans now and there are several that are so powerful as to remove all the fun of team selection. Battles are mostly tedious/boring for me now.Quote:

It is simply not worth it for me - I will never be top dog or even top 100. Not got the time or skills or patience or memory to remember all the skills, where everything is kept etc etc. So, for me, this works just fine. next week I am on holiday in Holland, likely able to do troopers and some other stuff but will no doubt miss most of the upcoming event(s) that I assume will start at the weekend or Monday...and that is fine. Will do my best when back at my base in the evening but it's just fine. I really need to get my head round the fact it is a game, a mobile game and I am never goin to be super good at it like many are on here.
I see lots of folks saying similar things on here and various forums and I get it - arena is a joke for the most part. There is fun to be had lower down for sure but the top 2-300 (it is spreading too) is just the same lottery - you never know what talisman you will gave or if RNG will be with you or not so I even started just using auto at times there too. They need to change things up and create different tiers for different types of player or do something different.
The most fun I have is doing test runs of my own defence vs different attack teams! Or the odd bit in arena if I fall down the list a bit...and gauntlet to a degree but even that is just a lottery with little to no strategy especially when you get to SSS - it is just too much and I hate losing so I just do not bother much with it after SSS - I take a look at the first team and usually say f**k it and move on....and I have well over 4k SoW to use...maybe one day I will use it and just lose a lot!
Facing the same team over and over is crap and boring, especially when the rewards are not great unless you get into the top 10 or so.....maybe several arena leagues might change it up - have the current version as a champions league - 5 star teams only, then have a 4 star, 3 star, 2 star and so on - cant be hard to set up...anything for some variation and I want to use the roster I have more - go back to those old characters you never go near now.
Don't get me wrong - still mostly love the game and play it a lot as I have said but with so much auto it really is just a resource gathering machine with very little fun left to find....well for me anyway....and everything is so expensive and getting worse too.....drop the damn prices of stuff, even 35 sands per level 15 is daft, same for 14 etc etc - why so expensive? I hope in this quiet period for events that they are really trying to sort the bugs out - level 15 bugs are not great - we have a way past them of course but that should be hot fixed - hot fixes seem to be almost every other day so come on do one a day and take a bug away with each one - cant be too hard to do. Pretty sure if it was a bug where you could not buy stuff it would be fixed asap - not so with the rest of it.....though the servers do seem to be better so I assume they have either lost a sh*t tonne of new players or that servers were increased.
LoL key disappeared from frontier store.
@ Scott.... a holiday in Holland? Are you sure about that?
It has been raining the whole time this week :(
Anyway, I hope that you have a great time over here. \m/
We have very very similar thoughts and opinions about the game recently! Same is true for your other post in the Hot Fix thread. I could also buy Lucy but this would suck up all my Ironite and then I could not play anymore, lol. Getting Dark Lilith would have been a better option to get the shortcut to Lucy, but well now it's too late.Quote:

Enjoy your trip to Holland! There are plenty things to do also if it rains. But BTW @Intimidator: Scott is a scott, that means he is rainproof anyway :D
Grim Reaper Eddie was underpowered even when he was released; the other Five Star Eds were much better and FoTD was also doing great in the arena. Would you guys be interested in me writing up a new version of GRE for fun?
