Don't forget to fix the graphic bug (for some phones?) which Pharaoh Dog King looks exactly like Pharaoh Dog, without wings.

Yeah, his thing does seem a bit odd, especially since his basic attack says it should be doing true damage (which should scale with attack and magic... but his skill says it scales with magic and special?). I'll have to delve into his innards and see if there's just a communication problem and/or do some tuning fixes for him, too.
You'll still get them from the time rift, just not as often. You can also get them from most secret locations, with a progressively higher chance the longer the cooldown is.
And yes, ironite is an option, which you can pay for, but there's still ironite earnable from secret locations, rarely from killed enemies pretty much anywhere in the game, and soon more daily and weekly opportunities from Daily Challenges and PVP, so we hope that you'll still be able to get an influx over time regardless of how you play.
Yeah, I actually convinced Kaz that we should allow it to have it's moderate cost with a more reduced effect instead of keeping how potent it is but raising the cost. It definitely became too much of an answer against strong attackers when they would just beat themselves to death, so we hope that the Magus Allied Soldier still has it's place at softening blows and dealing respectable damage with it's basic, but you pay for damage output if you really want to use that energy skill a lot. Hopefully we can have more strong defensive skill characters added so he's not popular out of nearly necessity; there's some good options at higher rarities, and a fair few options with Block (including the 3 star Dog of War), but we could use more alternatives.
This is the sort of thing we want to try and solve with the upcoming Sacrifice feature, where you're either trading up duplicates or other fodder for more specialized/valuable souls, among other possible rewards.
That's the idea, yeah. One more option for neutralizing the Magus Lord of Light, or to be weary of in PVP if you want to rely on Ghost for Carriage Rider Eddie.
Right now, it's mainly a matter of wanting to just start the discussion with players before it goes live, and then if there's perhaps something glaring that's missed/mistake that we've made/etc we may have the opportunity to ensure it's fixed before actually being released to players. Mostly though, we just want to make it a habit to inform the community sooner, both because we want to share information with you guys that you would appreciate heads up on and to help plan for changes with characters you have if you want to start building up new teams to try out new combos, for example.
For both of those characters, the intent is that the skill ups increase the effect potency (so Sentinel Soulless Demons' DEF and MR increases are stronger, or Pharaoh Eddie's next DEF-based move gets even more of a multiplier). The reason these character fixes aren't listed yet in this tuning batch is we're still working on ensuring the code handles that properly, and we're not sure if the changes we have in motion properly fix that yet. In any case, once the fix for functionality/communication is out, you'll get the benefit of the levels gained for said skills.
If you do see other characters with that kind of thing, do let us know and we'll at least make sure we add it to our list of known issues for characters.
Thanks for all the comments guys! Just to clarify, feel free to discuss character stuff in the other thread; I originally intended to just have all the discussion in here, but decided at the last minute that it might be better to split subjects into different threads and didn't correct that message in a flurry of edits for the posts when I had issues getting the images for changes corrected.
Thanks for the clarifications and opening up the other thread for discussion. (I was still thinking of using my Modly power to move the other reply posts here...)
Maybe one more slot for skill shard and stun chance increase on General if you lower it all the way to 15%? Or just leave it on 20-25... I agree current would be too much, although I see no problem with that, but since my best line-up consists of him and magus allied soldier, this really is a hard blow. Btw, have you considered rescaling Mummy Eddie's attacks? Once upon a time I upgraded it to 5* just to never use it again since the damage with five 5* and one 4* talisman was, if I remember well, around 1500... No skill shards though, but still... Almost maxed out, that is really low... Thanks in advance...
Today,i already thanked in advance for your sincere post and was confident you'd respond back.Originally Posted by Sparton_LOTB
Intentions! that's what count in my book,success and failure are not always in our hands.
Though,it is the best solution,but that's not an easy feat to accomplish for a live product,when your testers are in fact users.
I wish all the success for the future endeavours of this project.
I request to admins of the forum,to practice the method we apply for our troopers,remove who are inactive
and add who are active everyday, To lead the forum,please grant access 'Kaijester' to admin/supermoderator group so that he can perform his tasks effectively, also don't forget to appreciate him for his activeness and effort which he deserves.
that being said,
Mr Kaijester,excellent thinking! please start splitting threads and sort them to a new thread/merge into proper section accordingly,thus keep this Sparton's thread as relevant as he intented,including my this post if necessary.
that'd be very very helpful for everyone,thanks.
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again.
Please remove image/Video when you quote a message,easier to browse the thread,(faster browsing/saves mobile data)
Thank you Sparton for responding to my question about rare souls, but K's comment was also on my mind. I use all my 50 troopers daily. When I'm done I'll often use ironite to play the dungeons (even on days I don't really need the class shards) in order to farm rare souls. Even now without the decreased drop rates I don't get them too often. For me, this will actually reduce incentive for me to play extra.
I understand you mentioned there will be future dailies and PVP rewards, but the gap we are in is a lonely desolate place and taking away the perks makes it more so. May I suggest you wait to decrease this amount until you actually have those other options in place?
Thanks so much for listening and engaging with us!
I'm glad you are working in the game, thank you for updating us. However, all I'm reading is that if your characters have plateaued, and you are out of higher starred characters to borrow, the only way to evolve is to spend a bunch of ironite reviving on levels 7-9 of LOL, and MAYBE you'll get 3 star evo or a rare soul that will be a 3 star anyway. I love this game, will continue to play, but I really can't go anywhere without spending money, and I've already given you probably a hundred bucks on ironite.
Its good to see the campaign becoming more important...
Also, U BETTER REMOVE EXPLOSIVE AND CYCLONE SHIELD OUT OF THE SECRET LOCATION DROPS!!! and maybe add some more color the the shards and runes dropped...
Nekroliun-3119 - Rainmaker Eddie/Nomad, prob both pretty bad
Free your soul and let it fly! Give your life to the lord of light! Keep your secrets and rain on me, all i see are mysteries!
