My CR Eddie has used both past and future skills in autoplay since before this and the last update. Not that common but it sure happens.Quote:

The Assassin Golden Son had a devestating combo attack. When another character unleashed a Mark ability from the Death Talisman, Golden Son would ignite it with devestating effects... devestating to the point that the LOL or Beelzebub in Battlefield (Once his immunity was dispelled) were potentially nuked on round 1. There is no question that this was a powerful move, but it came with a price. First, the mark ability requires 7 power to deploy. Second, it required a perfect ignition from Golden Son. A perfect ignition from another character (Say a recovery shot from troll after golden son missed the perfect) did not yield the results. Third, it required Golden Son to survive all successive rounds to detonate death, and if that is an easy enough feat comparing the player's team to dungeon's enemies, then they would have been slaughtered anyway making the nerf pointless.
My CR Eddie has used his "Life Line" skill that gives "Spell Vamp" (heals according to magic attacks) but never his real heal thingy "Preserve". Lucky me that my main allies are a Hellhound and a Red Troll that benefit not the slightest from this brilliant move of my CR. So I named my CR "Baldrick" because he must have a cunning plan ...Quote:

I am livid over that, and the fact that AG may also be nerfed would be rhe icing on the cake of both of my fully invested teams nerfed. Fucking ridiculous.Quote:

Red troll is crashing game I think. It has happened a few times. I also lost my pre update souks collection. I had close to 99 and then had 5?
Sentinel Undead BuzzLightYear looks like a good character with useful ability but his damage is awful. Even with maxed talisman dealing less than 2k damage per enemy in Magus LOL dungeon...they are supposed to have class advantage against Magus.
Ironic that there was a thread discussing whether PDK should get a buff, and here his heal's gone down again. Poor dog has it ruff.
Also surprised about Soldier Eddie healing now. Though I've seen Mummy, SoL and Reaper dip into Past and Future abilities for several weeks now.
Looking forward to trying the new characters if I ever get em.
This had to be done!

Something is wrong with class bonuses. Level 79 green bat in Light Bringer Hard did 20K damage to my CR Eddie. CR Eddie and Golden Son damage to RED bat was smth like 1000.
The blue number that pops up to indicate that power has been stolen says +1 for me, although he does steal 5 power.Quote:

... they increase the chance of getting them, but do not decrease the chance of getting the others. So you'll keep getting more of the same and wasting lots of ironite.
Well, since you always get a character, an increased chance for some automatically means a decreased chance for others.Quote:

Ouch! Meanwhile I got storm eddie on my third BNW soul... And Witkacy got 4 of the new bnw chars from one pack!Quote:

You find them under Specials, where you also find normal rare souls, sand of time refil.Quote:

*UPDATE** In case anyone had the same issue I did: I logged out, deleted my cache, and deleted the app. Then re-downloaded and logged in. The store was updated with BNW Souls.
Is it just me or does somebody else also have the feeling we have more than enough characters in this game.
Not sure if the devs mistake more content with dumping more chars. I would love to have some more stuff to do than autofarming all day. Instead of using all these dev ressources on cahracters they could be used to reinvent the game with a new mode for example: "Turn the tables" mode or call it whatever you like. In this mode the AI would always have the first round. Suddenly you have loads of new campaigns with just a flip ... :)
Don't get me wrong I love the artwork and the fury of Storm Eddie is stunning. But give me some real stuff to do and more than shoving souls down this book ...
Just wanted to make notice of this: Today is the anniversary of the death of Aldous Huxley. Is that a coincidence?
For those who don't know, he's the writer of the novel Brave New World, from which the Maiden song was based on.
The halloween special characters felt a bit rushed and didn't add much to the game for me, but some of these BNW characters actually seem useful. Still, I agree that there are enough characters as it. The problem is that it is too hard get the ones that you are missing. Withut new gameplay, the only sense of progression is getting new characters but for every new character you get, it gets harder to get another new one, so it gets harder and harder to get that sense of progression.Quote:

I do like your idea of giving a twist to existing dungeons to add some more stuff to complete, but it may be hard to do something sensible that adds some kind of challenge to endgame players. Without a challenge to it, it would just be a little variation to the grinding.

But your larger point stands: there are tons of characters, it's too hard to outfit them properly, and there's little to do with them but farm the same 2 or 3 levels.Quote:

What I would like clarification on is this:
There have been reports of performance augmentations of various characters, such as PDK, Allied General, Assassin Golden Son and Angel of Fear. I/we want to know whether some/any of these augmentations are unintentional (Bugs) or intentional (nerfs).
What if any characters have had performance modifications?
Guys do you know what are the requirements to get the meteor talismans ??
From the challenges window, I clicked on the button to get those, I upgraded 32 talismans to 5* and now I have to reach 100 5* talismans to get comets talismans.
But no meteor talismans in my team.
Where are those ??
check your taslisman inventory. You don't get a message, that new talismans have been added to your inventory. Just if you click it, the next requirement (100 5* for the blue - comet) is shown. the previous - 4x meteor will be in your inventory. If you are over stocked, you'll get the "1 talisman over limit" message on homescreen, just go there and browse - make sure to have enough place left.Quote:

All Sparton said was go through support still waiting for him to turn up and reply to my earlier post
I'm going to complain again. Please skip my post if you don't want to read.
Sorry. It's a broken record I know.
Today is the blue lord of light, and I really struggle to put together a team for this one that doesn't take 10 mins to finish a round. I have some of the characters to beat it, but they're in desperate need of talismans. I'd farm the upgrade materials for the talismans but that's not possible at the moment. There is nothing I can do, it's literally pointless for me to play. Game is incredibly broken due to the drop rate. I literally might as well not play today. Game has been like this for months, it's literally only gotten worse for this issue as time has gone on to the point my game progression has stopped. The shard farming is fair and so is the drop rate, finally, so happy, but I can't use these new characters I've upgraded.
And the bugs, just wow, I know you guys are trying hard with the bugs, but there are LOTS of bugs with damage calculations, and crazy stuff like the infinite reflect bug, carriage rider healing bad Guys with his fury, dead characters still attacking or being attacked, there's a laundry list about a thousand miles long here of little stuff I catch everyday. As a community it's extremely difficult to quantify or capture some of these bugs if we don't know things like how physical damage and magic damage are calculated taking into account defence and MR stats. A lot of the time the damage calculations just don't add up, and we suspect it's a bug, but we can't confirm it due to a lack of a working knowledge of the behind the scenes coding. So we have to rely on the dev team to catch these bugs themselves, and they simply aren't being reported and investigated. PvP....
Yes, it's a bug. I checked in the talisman inventory, and in all characters slots but no sign of meteor talismans.Quote:

A game like ours needs various things to help keep it interesting/fresh, but not all things require as much work from the different departments. For example, things like PVP are very programmer-intensive, but don't require as much from the art department, while things like characters are very art-intensive (and somewhat design-intensive), but require little programming work (except where entirely new functionality is needed, but even then much less work for a new kind of skill effect compared to making PVP leaderboards function, or implementing screen flow, or whatever).Quote:

The first post has a table of what characters were intended to have changes, and what those changes were. Anything beyond that is other fixes or changes that we missed logging formally (such as the burning talisman applying 1-3 burns again), or are bugs.Quote:

Thank you for the update. There was a reason why I redacted my earlier post pending a fairer inquiry and having received that, I apologize to any who may have been upset by my misguided frustration. I wish you luck in sorting the bugs out and patiently await those resolutions.Quote:

when being redirected to the screen that shows the characters used in a stage after the victory, it doesn't show those characters you pulled out the BNW souls
It would be good to know if the changes to Alliance Generals power ability were intented or not (i.e. if it had a bug which is now fixed or if a bug was introduced now), so we know if this is the way it is intended to be or if it will be changed. Also if it is intended that he now steals 5 power rather than 4 with his basic attack.Quote:
