We have some work on improving stability and framerate in combat coming for the next update as well, so hopefully that'll be addressed (or at least greatly diminished) on most devices in the next update.Quote:

I wonder why such threads exist, you give a fuck on what we say.
I like that things are getting fixed up, there seems to be a lot of emphasis on the Christmas toons so that'll be interesting. The BNW tuning is going to make alot of people happy for sure, including me. An "Unannounced game mode" is a sneaky interesting thing to do think about. Wrath making a comeback is also pretty cool. There really doesn't seem to be alot of other changes though. But at least it's another update coming. I'm sure it'll blow our minds when it comes out.
Nothing about Angel of fear's passive is triggering despite endure or triggering more than once? I don't remember anyone mentioning that the passive fails to trigger.
Oh yeah, let's nerf Gunner Corrupt Rescuer again, because she hasn't been nerfed enough in the past :mad:
As for Thorn talismans - you fix them then you nerf them. What is the point in players putting time & effort into aspects of the game only for them to be nerfed? May as well not bother! :mad:
i think we have reached a state of the game where radical tuning isn't necessary anymore, that's a very good sign. all in all i like these subtile changes. and that you buff wrath proves that you listen to the community, just hope he won't turn OP again ;)
new unannounced game mode? you have my attention guys...i get that you want to keep the exitement high but maybe you can reveal this:
will this "new unannounced game mode" be released along with the next tuning update?
cheers
Nerfing BNW Dragon boss, doesn’t address terrible drop rates of premium talismans. Boss maybe easier to kill, but at 15 ironite a battle so what if it takes 100+ battles to maybe earn 1 talisman? Please address drop rates of premium talismans.
It's great to see that you guys are trying to add more balance to the game, and make characters more interesting, but It would be even better to see more efforts on improve actually good Eddies for use on PVP.
I think that Tailgunner, Storm, Soldier, Wickerman and Carriage Rider needs a little retouch, since despite of being good chars, I just can't remember the last time I used them in the game...
And VHE still reigns on PVP.
That new mode teasing was great Sparton, keep on the good job! 😉
exactly my thoughts, except for the last part: in some cases the passive doesn't trigger indeed, but as you said, it should also be fixed for the other aspectsQuote:

Unlikely. It's of a bigger scope, so it may have a closed beta at some point (similar to the Arena started), but we're still working out details for that.Quote:

The release of some new characters has actually lead me in the direction of an attack team that centers around abusing Carriage Rider Eddie's buff-purging Fury and buff-extending heal, so with the right strategy and support, a lot of the Eddies you've listed can be quite viable.Quote:

Could you guys please fix that?
Thanks! :)
Hey Demoonchild,Quote:

I hope there is a fix for the crashes caused during sacrifices. Its getting old....
Hey, just a question about the upcoming Event where Trooper Eddie will be released:
I understood we will be able to get his soul for something around 20k trooper badges right? If so, what i want to be sure about is whether we will get him 100%, or if it will be as usual, that is we will have a chance to get him or other characters...because in the last case i won't just collect 20k trooper points for that event, but more
4 new toons, Trooper Eddie one of them --> 25% chance, the same you have with eternal soulQuote:

AoF is working as designed :D. He's not bugged, just a known synergy to be paired with a reviver. And a strategy to take out revivers before the bat. Imho.
Just because there are be four possible outcomes does not necessarily mean it's a 25% chance for each.Quote:

Do we actually know that an eternal soul is evenly weighted? Has it been specifically mentioned by dev staff?
Is the dupe protection still scheduled to coincide with the release of Trooper Souls?
Percentages won't matter if you won't be pulling the same char twice from Eternal and Troopers souls.
Tell me about it! Clair, Wrath, EE, 8 dupes!!! No Beelz. Didn't know it was supposed to coincide.Quote:

The same for when the Trooper souls hit as I would like to get them all too eventually.Quote:

Personally, I never had a problem with GCR even before she ever got nerfed. Just remove Titan shield or stack a bunch of negative effects and then use Navigator Eddie's Roaring Wave. Completely blows her away.
What I find annoying is going up against Desert Marauder teams. They seem to always go first and the perfect hit procs are extremely annoying because they put on every shield talisman and just waste my team before I can even do anything.
Completely agree...DM teams with AoF and VHE are the worst, esp with AoF’s broken passive (I have personally seen it give an extra turn to the entire team if it “thinks” that it killed a toon with Endure).Quote:

So I for one am definitely looking forward to the AoF passive being fixed in this tuning update.
