Thanks Sparton. So has the Daily Rewards and Achievements claiming bug been fixed?
Is it safe for me to claim my 10 Achievements? I don’t want to lose them and have to contact CS! :)
Bought 14 Christmas Souls before the update... can they be refunded?
if everything works as intended, this will be a nice update :)
thanks for the 300 character slots upgrade, a big step!
but no fixes to aof and his random extra turns so far?
looking forward to the update, but i dislike that the christmas souls are only available for ironite. but i bet/hope the arena event will let us get some fragments ;)
edit: nice that i inpired you to implement a timer, but i would have prefered to inspire you to use 3 troopers at once...
Somehow I got in early but got kicked out. Looks like 8 additional skillshards for tailgunner. Yikes, quite an investment for a four star Eddie. I think his buffs will be cool, but he is going to be too hard to keep alive to be useful in pvp.
Sparton - will Christmas souls be available as Sacrifice rewards?
Thank you!
I've been pretty excited in waiting for this update and it's... Almost as good as I hoped. But it's still great.
King Edward the Great (I will only address him as such) sounds like a real good one. His fury, while not very focused on the enemy, sounds fantastic, especially those who use those golden buffs. His basic attacks sound like they should be power attacks and I can see them messing with teams that rely on the usual "Guard Shield, Counterstrike" shtick.
The new Sacrifice buff sounds intense but perhaps it could be abused if it's coupled with immortality? A good note for research. All in all, he seems worthy of the King title and a true 5* in my opinion. Can't wait to try him out one day.
The Christmas Soul part is kind of sketchy because last I checked, Christmas souls were basically rare souls who might also drop exclusive characters. And considering how rare 4-5* toons are, you'll need alot if you want to get Krampus. Since you say there will be more ways to get Christmas souls soon I'll hold off on whether of not I actually like it.
The Quest Completion timer seems more of a nifty gimmick than a solid feature but it sure beats having to record my runs from a second source. I'm sure it'll be fun to craft the fastest team with everyone else.
The Character Tuning is 100% fantastic. No nerfs and only buffs and fixes, I love it.
Making the Gunner Chopper and Warrior Trickster available, while I like the idea, it kind of makes you wonder about whether we should actually get the event characters or just wait until they are released again. My argument to that is that while the event is on, we can guarantee getting them.
The best part about the Inventory changes is the GIGANTIC increase in character slots. Up to 300 is incredible.
All in all this a a good update that focused on fixing many of the problems we've been having and I'm glad that it wasn't about introducing another half broken feature. I'm a bit bummed that the "secret new content" isn't here but the way I see it is the longer we wait, the better it will be....or something.
As far as I know the fix is live with this update.Quote:

This year's Christmas Souls are currently only available from the store. Emphasis on currently.Quote:

hey sparton, game isn't live yet for iOS users
Thanks for the response Sparton!
Android is working - are other iOSers having issues? Mine is still under maintenance
Edit: Update appeared and now working fine

Some nice stuff, but looks like this might be the last major content update before 2018, and I was hoping Night City would be out this year, like Michelle announced at the start of 2017. But what can ya do? Edward the Great looks real badass, and Krampus made me laugh. Nice job, guys!
Two Christmas souls, Ox Occultist and Allied soldier. Rofl. 200 ironite pissed away. It’s like I haven’t been playing this game from the go and didn’t know better. New stuff looks cool. Merry Christmas all.
Should have said thank you for the Christmas gifts. Thanks again.

Very few of us ever do! That is part of the addiction element!Quote:

Congrats on the pull, I got him too - I'm not as close to completing the collection yet though. But I am on Coalgiver's list this year, so I'm super pumped about that!!Quote:

I'm getting a lot of SACR08 errors when trying to Sacrafice. Forces me to restart the game. Had this previously, many months ago, but it was fixed. Appears to be back for me now.
Looks like there will be future ways to get Christmas Souls, and history says that sacrificing is a likely way to earn them... might want to hang onto those sacrifices for a week, unless you're chasing Viking Eddie. Just a thought.Quote:

Well... now the only Eddie I need is still VHE :)
.. pulled King and Coalgiver... and Krampus... and the elf...
I definitely think you're right on that one. Just hoping for some sacrifice too, been saving a lot of burner toons for a while here.Quote:

Nice pulls! I got the Krampus and elfQuote:

Guess she now has imperfect immunity ;)Quote:

Hm, damn, we can confirm that is the case.Quote:

Out of how many? I am still saving up to get my first 10; hoping for Krampus and the Elf.Quote:

But.. he appears to be one of the more decent Eddies to me... maybe even a good PvP Eddie. Wish his special stat was higher though.
Spartan.... is there any major significance to the "Best Time" timer? Or is it merely self-satisfaction?
And it's nice to see Astra actually stunning enemies now :)
Am I doing something wrong how on earth did you have enough Ironite to get 80-100 christmas souls?!
He's only at lvl 70 here and has a few really underpowered talismans.. but I'll set him as my Champion for a bit.
I'm manually leveling him... so he's gaining, but it's slow going.
Cool! Glad to know that's not the desired solution to people wanting a counter to perfect immunity.Quote:

After opening over 100 souls and losing over 4 million in gold, I didn't get King Edward.
I did get a Prisoner though, and I'm just as happy.
Either I have the worst luck ever - or it’s time to check the echo talismans. Just fought a team where they proc’d 5 or 6 times in a row for a toon, multiple times in one match! Lost 3 straight matches to the team due to it. I’ve fought many teams with echos never seen anything like that.
Edit: after checking the toons updated skills - it’s certainly possible he would have a good chance of them procing. But 5 times in a row twice in a match still seems very improbable. I think my screen dimmed waiting for that single toon to stop attacking and it’s on a one minute timer. I’ll refrain from calling them broken but man that was pretty unlikely.
Interesting updates but I can't seem to login after updating. It's getting stuck on the loading screen. But I'm guessing it's not a common issue?
Think maybe the server just went down. Playing troopers, got a macl15 after the win and my toons staring and waiting for the rewards. Finally errored out, now can't login.Quote:
