Any update on a fix for the 3rd party bug that prevents players from accessing Gauntlet and getting Gauntlet rewards? My email to support has gone unanswered...

[Amarthir]

You guys are a little late on your post. We would certainly like some answers regarding why some people can't get into the game, access certain modes, an answer to if the Assassin Banshee passive is bugged and a person question from me, why my event tab victories is lower than my actual recorded victories.

Hi Amarthir,

Our team is still working on a solution to the issue preventing some players from getting into the game/accessing certain modes. If you, or someone you know is in this situation, we recommend contacting our support team at support@ironmaidenlegacy.com. They will then be able to provide direct updates when available.

Regarding the Assassin Banshee Passive, can you please describe the bug you are seeing? Is the passive simply not triggering? Or does it seem to be triggering too often?

As for the event tab victory difference, I would recommend opening up a Support ticket.

Cheers!

Leviathan

I will send a ticket once I get a chance to. I suggest you look at The Banshee Gang thread for more information about the Assassin Banshee passive. Many people think that the passive is triggering more often than not and some of us don't even understand it fully.

Amarthir,

I have been looking and looking for the post from either Sparton or Leviathan, a few months ago concerning another “35% chance to x” ally. Our old friend Sentinel Mayan Priestess. She generated quite the debate with regard to her revenge passive seeming to trigger with every attack. This is most likey the same formuale being used on the Banshee. In the thread the devs explain that the chance to trigger is based on each attack. At the time many people were using multi hitters so Revenge was checking to see if it could trigger against every hit for every ally. This showed that the nunbers are far more frequent for triggering than against a single hitter. The same is still true for the Banshee and others like Redan and Assassin Hellraiser. I have been fighting this team quite a bit and I do see damage seeping through so that means the trigger is not always protecting but the mitigation is quite severe.

Has anyone tested her against single hitters. I did manage to by-pass one attack with 3 hits today from my attacking Assassin Banshee against an opposing Magus Lillith. All three hits landed and killed the Magus.

Considering the bugs, any chance of getting an extension on this please? Maybe until after the weekend? Personally, most of the rewards are just nice to haves - Except for blood frags. With time running out, any chance to grab those frags is actually really important!

Ancient Mariner Fragments are cruel joke. 30 fragments for 500 wins.

I have tested her against single hitters and single/multi combo characters that I choose to deal single hit damage to, I've been at it all afternoon/evening.
So I do think there may be more to it Stormseye. I consider myself a professional at dishing at FFE's Hallowed Bones with perfect hits, this is a single target attack, I started out having a fair degree of success but then ran into Bobo and Above both running DDE/Alchemist/MLillith/ABanshee both attack and defence could not penetrate the others defences, AI might be good but I think we can all agree it can easily be outsmarted, I used every trick in the book but could not take down MLillith which these days for me is usually dead quite easily(read Character descriptionFFE I left a recent comment)

Both teams copped the ultimate in Fury's and they hardly touched them, Both teams drew on both occasions with no members missing.
I agree with your comments and what Sparton or Leviathen said in another post, but 35% I can agree it will block 2/3 hits but it definately should not block every hit on a single target including repeat hits thanks to Warlord Talisman's, I mean MLillith's Destiny doesn't even fire the majority of the time.

I'm all for Assasin Banshee she rocks! But if all of us are taking 10 minutes and then being forced to draw, what's the point, life's too short....

this event is a complete joke. I dont normally play arena beyond a handful of games to get my rank up to 1700 for the free eternity frags. However, since its an event and I can earn Mariner and Blood frags I've put in some effort. I've played almost exclusively arena since it started. I was up to about rank 75 last night and my rating was around 2700/2800. At this point I have won about 150 battles. The teams are now so insane, there is no way i will be able to complete even 300 wins, I'll be lucky if I can manage to make it to 200 before it ends. What is the point of 400 or more wins? there is no way you can do it. My entire list of opponents is now FFE (which I dont have yet) KP Assassin Banshee and M Lilith. And as rags said above, I can play it out for 10 minutes and hope for a draw, or get crushed in a 2 round attack, either way I cannot advance the event.

I think the event should be "play XXX battles in arena" That in itself is a huge time investment, should be enough to complete the goals.

All this event is doing is convincing me how much i dislike arena and how right I was for ignoring it.
