[maxdeviations]

This looks awesome! Thank you so much Sparton!

(I hope your power ability got a buff with this update and your chance of responding to questions increased significantly )

yes .. looks like Sparton s abilities have gone thru some stat scaling as well.

Thank you Sparton for the update, and to everyone on the team that is making this happen.

additions and tuning improvements to the game are definitely welcome. Do we have any info on some of the greater bug issues that are plaguing the game? Specifically:

1) Android login but that has some folks blocked out of the game for 2 months now
2) crashes of the game while starting a battle in Time Rifts (most often level 7)
3) hard freezes of the game while already in a battle of Time Rifts (again, mostly in level 7)
4) other crashes when starting a battle in the dungeons or special locations


personally, i feel the length of time so far for item #1 is mind blowing, but ultimately, i just want my fellow troopers to be able to play again that i know are locked out because of this issue.

How big is the update? I have 200MB left in my 3G plan and I don't want to blow it all

Yeah, internet and 3G in Brazil sucks A LOT.

it' tonight 10 o clock?
I'm totally bored by the game now: no colored evo shard 3* loot for me in all madness world, impossible to update one character to 5* since 3 month of game!
soul 2* = only same crap souls
soul 3* = 0 loot since last update....i buy 3 pack and only crap souls again !!!

i'm waiting that update and decide if i totally stop the game or not

You have to do the dungeons or get lucky when doing secret location to get 3* evo shards. You can however get 3* evo runes and 3* colorless evo shards from campaign. Good luck and cheer up lad! 😃

Will the drop rate for 2* red evo runes be improved with this update?

Thanks!

Excited to see the update.

Will the drop rate for 2* red evo runes be improved with this update?

Thanks!

I've been getting a few of them in battlefield madness. It's the 1* that I have to drop down to normal or hard for.

Got a 3* + a 1* red in the last stage madness today, but that's the only 1* I got for some days now

are we going to have a list of the new characters available during this event? ex. number of stars and class so we can see what we want to get and how to get it.
is Fear of the Dark Eddie only available until the end of the event?

Both of these questions will be answered in more detail once the update is live and the event can be said to have started in earnest.

1) Android login but that has some folks blocked out of the game for 2 months now
2) crashes of the game while starting a battle in Time Rifts (most often level 7)
3) hard freezes of the game while already in a battle of Time Rifts (again, mostly in level 7)
4) other crashes when starting a battle in the dungeons or special locations

1) There's a bit of confusion internally as to what the exact state of this is, but I've been told there should be a fix to at least let said players into the game with this update, although further loadtime improvements are also in the pipeline. Our CS team wanted to confirm with some people who've sent in they've had that problem before announcing more widely if the fix that's in should work for most people.
2) I'm not aware of specific changes to address this, but I know there has been some art optimization done, which should help that issue
3) One of the bug fixes (for the reviving minion) relates to that. I think we also had a fix for the notorious reflect all killing countering enemies bug, but I'm not sure if we thoroughly tested that it fixes it in all situations or just reduces the likelihood
4) Same as 2

How big is the update? I have 200MB left in my 3G plan and I don't want to blow it all

I'm not sure exactly, but the app store update should be roughly the same size as the previous update. The additional data for new characters/environments shouldn't take up too much of that remaining amount you listed.

Will the drop rate for 2* red evo runes be improved with this update?

No, the data for this update had to be locked down a few days ago, so I don't have an improvement in for that yet.

Thanks for the update Sparton. Do you know if the Stone talisman bug (doesn't apply 1% HP to Defense) bug is going to be fixed?
