Probably $A200 or something :rolleyes: If you're gonna put stuff in the store and it costs people, maybe make sure the cost is clearly displaying?

That's odd; I don't think we have different prices manually set for Australia, so I don't know why that wouldn't be converting to your local currency correctly. Do other IAP packages (such as the Ironite packs) all have prices still displaying for you?

There appears to be a bug with cleaning out old data relating to the game that's no longer needed; we are investigating and hoping to have a solution for the next major update.

Limited time offer. See this event thread for more info.

If you have this issue, please contact support via the in-game Support button. They can fix this issue for you if they're made aware.

Adding new characters to that soul is not currently planned, but that may change. Right now, we're more likely to be building up other desirable 5 star characters into a new soul rather than add to that (similar to how the Trooper Soul has come to be).

The Frontier Store is the feature which helps you get the Eternal/etc you want regardless of your luck with the actual soul.

Sparton has the dev team been made aware of the continuing issues with the crimson dog fragments and the inability to complete the zone talisman quest?

We are aware and the issues are being tracked internally, but our attention is primarily on issues that are causing the game to hang and causing problems with displaying/functionality in combat right now. The uptick in problems relating to challenges is high on our list to sort out a fix for, though.

FYI.. use the Ironite "revive" in BNW and your team is revived then..... the game freezes - sucking up your ironite and not allowing you to continue playing. Only option is a restart and dealing with the fact you just got ripped off for ironite.

True. I used a troopers Warlord while auto grinding AMOLAD and since I play Halo while I auto grind, my attention wasn't on the game and somehow my team was wiped out. I went to revive and decided to finish manually, I went to blast Beezy with cannonballs and the game hung itself. Talk about disappointing. The Warlord I mean, I can't auto grind with him without the worry of losing and he's no good in PvP unless you have someone who inflicts permadeth after he ghosts an opponent.

There are just occasions where 40 minutes of my time is worth more than 50 ironite....

I can auto-play 90% of the time.. but if I lose.. it always happens when the Dragon Kings gets his "special" double attach strength, non-fury (spiders), hit every 3 or 4 run throughs and I'm not paying attention... Clearly that's set up to defeat as many Eddies (the weakest member on any team in terms of health) as possible so you can't auto-grind the upper levels all day. If, like PVP I could keep playing even if Eddie died, I'd be fine. It's a shame many of the Eddies max out at 6-7k natural health. Time to skill shard the heck out of Viking or Visions...

BNW is so "unfun" and it's a shame it's mandatory for some things. Drop the Zone, Lightning, Comet, Quake, Immunity, Chance, Rage, Echo, and Immortality talismans in Skull quests or S15 and I'll never touch BNW again. At least never above level VIII.

Regarding issues for having revenge/counter causing characters to attack their own teammates, we have isolated cases where that occurs due to having a Blocker on your team. For the time being, we would recommend not combining Blockers and Counter/Revenge on the same team until this is fixed.

If you run into an issue where teammates are attacking each other that doesn't involve that, please let us know.

We are aware of this issue as well, and have prioritized this to be fixed ASAP.

What is up with the suicidal Eddies? Playing BNW GoD X against dragon king. First with VH. I mark the dragon king then magic attack for the heal and instead instant death. OK try again this time Navigator. Use fury for the 6 hits against the never ending shield. Nearly full health Navigator instantly dies while the skeleton army attacks. Thats 30 ironite lost.

PvP has just become unplayable. After each win, the game gets stuck on the victory screen. A force close is then required.

No way I’m going to force close and restart after every victory...

I was playing PvP enough to gather 1000 iron coins between yesterday and today and I haven't had that freeze at all since the update started. I had it 4 or 5 times right after the update was finished but after that I was on a roll and didn't have any freezes.

Mine just started within the last hour.

Three matches = three freezes. A friend of mine is having the same issue...

PVP seems to be totally crazy since the update. My opponents frequently get extra turns out of nothing, permadeathed characters are being revived, game freezes, mission challenge still bugged, ... just too much to mention all.

This is the worst update the devs have ever done. In every normal company the guy who is responsible for such crap would have to start looking for a new job the next day.

Uninstall then reinstall cured A LOT of game freezes for me last month.... just saying.

I just played PVP for the last couple hours.... no freezing.. saw the counter/blocker self-attack bug :) that was funny.

new joke i have 9/10 pvp done with 0 sand of war
i take all my daily challenge (with the 3 sand of war), all seems ok, i want to do my last pvp battle = error game must restart and... i lose all reward lol wtf is that update never seen that since the beginning of the game
In my compagny too sick if i do 10% of that i m fired lol

Thanks - reinstalled and that did the trick!

Glad that worked. I was going nuts with the freezing after last month's update [when I reinstalled and things got better]. And according to Spartan comments earlier in this thread (or somewhere today), there "appears to be an issue" with the game failing to remove old data when it updates. My guess is that old, lingering, data is actually problematic, not just taking up space.

it is the case some times you must uninstall and reinstall game ...

I spend my 20k Trooper badges and got:

Warlord

Now I'm very pissed..no need for this char, because Wrath is much better.

I bought 100 Trooper Fragments, but I need 100 more to get a second Trooper Soul... Impossible for me, because I don't play the whole day.

Shit event

I still dont understand why TROOPER update made getting TROOPER badges slightly harder instead of improving it. Now there is no way to figure out the inactive troopers (they all show the same time for last seen)

Uh...how did you get the 20,000 Trooper badges in the first place? You can get more Trooper Fragments by spending Trooper badges.

tested my def right now and my AG with strikes attacked himself. so the issue is talisman related, not red buzz related.

Spartan posted that it's related to having a counter/revenge and a blocker on the same team.... if you have a toon with counter, try not using that toon.

ah yeah i had another blocker (DG) with me, right, so it's basicly the same as before...was too oriented on buzz.

So what about that arena event? I figured it would start yesterday or at least today. Is it going to start tomorrow when I'm spending time with my family?

Yeah boy I pulled Trooper Eddie a bit ago. Kind of sold some valuable Talismans that I never used, and spent my last 2mil on the last 10 fragments.

I have him about half maxed and 7 skill shards put in to him but he's a monster on the battlefield.

- (PVP) My WUR was almost down, I was attacking, Beelzebub hat Counters and countered. Instead of dying my WUR suddenly had full health.

What kind of Talisman setup do you have on him, if you don’t mind me asking? I have 2 Health and 4 Strength, but not so impressed. I have him leveled up at 100, but no skill shards at all.

Sparton, it is not just with the Crimson fragments, but claiming Achievements in general. I lost 1 Skill Shard which was due to me for completing 180 Challenges...I mailed support about both issues.

Are these issues also tied to the Daily Challenges rewards? I never had that before, but now have it happening to me since yesterday’s update. Too coincidental that I am also having issues with claiming the Achievements, which I did not have before.

I didn't even think to check that. But since I was having an issue with the daily achievements and accomplishments I might be out 3 skill shards now I went to collect them and never bother to double check I got them, because I had over 60 from all the previous vortex fills I didn't even notice if I received or not. It makes sense that I didn't though since no other achievement is working. I would like to know do we need to contact support to correct our accounts or will a fix be pushed out in a couple days for everything we are missing?

I went with 2 Health and 4 Strength to try out a "vanilla" version of him. Level 100, fully-sharded. Hits like a truck. Liking him a lot so far. With this loadout, his Fury attack one-shots the last stage of Cast Die (Madness).

I am also noticing NBOL are triggering multiple times when the enemy attacks. His Pharaoh Eddie would attack me his NBOL would trigger attacking me, then Pharaoh would get an extra turn and then NBOL would trigger again,

Also kind of ok with them holding the arena event until some of the bugs are worked out. Maybe it will start this Saturday?

Right now I have Explosive and Energy Talismans on him. When the Explosive effect kicks on it does a decent amount of spread damage, but I also had the Magus Undead Rescuer for double damage.

Thanks man. I have mine setup similar to Fudjo’s, with 4 Strength and 2 Health. He works pretty well in PvE, but he isn’t a replacement for VHE in the Arena, that’s for sure. I don’t have VHE, but still prefer my Aces High and Pharaoh for their versatility.

Maybe I just need to learns his skills and figure out how to use him optimally with the right team.

I've been trying to play troopers to get to 20k for a shot at Trooper and damnit, the game keeps freaking out on me.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, everything short of walking on water but I would give it a shot at this point.

Just when I decide to tolerate the games many shortcomings, you guys make it intolerable.

I'm not even angry about it at this point though, as disappointment is expected, I just want the game to work long enough for me to get to 20k. Is that too much to ask?

What are the chances that these cats are hard at work to hot fix the plethora of bugs preventing the most simple of tasks?

There is literally no point to login at the moment as I either get an AMPA or Server Error message. Who is testing and approving these updates? A baked potato?

Unreal.

No problem. And my setup is more of a placeholder until the other guys think of something better.

Now that we can't see a trooper's talisman setup anymore, the forums are probably going to have to have some kind of guide for what goes best on who.

As for putting him in PvP, his basics are awesome, so he'd likely be paired with a Desert Marauder. And then someone who can raise attack like the Wicker Man or Allied General. I don't know if he'll be able to replace VHE but he's definitely a good choice from the Warrior pool.

The only meager move he has is his healing. Since it only stacks on the individual's attack, using it with a magus is wasteful as it heals less than 1000 health.

I have my TE fully sharded and equipped with Advantage Talisman, Hunter Talisman and Burn Talisman. Since he mainly supports physical attackers I thought the Hunter Talisman would work quite nice on him. Also the advantage are doing their job. However I will change the burn talisman to strength.

My impression so far is that he is the most valuable Warrior Eddie but it will be tricky to find a team working well with him in PVP.

His Heal move is working great on physical attacker on all others its wasted power.

Is there something that I've been missing with this update, as I noticed that some of my troopers have their name yellow-colored, like the names of the three new added bots?!

I don't know if it's random or has to something to do with the fact that those respective troopers have played my champ today.

It would be nice if it is so.

The Trooper Fragments will stay forever in the shop? 10 fragments per 300 badges?
