January 5th 2017 Update Discussion

[Sparton_LOTB]

Since the patch notes thread normally ends up becoming a general discussion thread, I figured I’d try something new and just make a separate discussion thread in the General Discussion subforum to improve visibility of discussions about the new update.

You can see the details of the update that has just gone live in the Game Updates forum post.

Great, some nice quality of life issues addressed

Keep it up.

Thanks, Sparton. These look like some positive adjustments.

Can you clarify what this means?:

"Adjusted rewards for some tiers of "Improve Trooper Champion" to give Ironite instead of Gold"

hi sparton, sounds good so far. is the trooper removal bug also adressed in the tuning update?
many people cannot remove troopers, would be great if that could be fixed, since this is really hurting our progress...


i like the changes for PVP only the 60 minutes is maybe a little too much, 45 as adressed in the first try would maybe be better, but we have to try it before a final conclusion is possible

EDIT: still not able to remove troopers, maximum is reaches it says. wasn't able to remove them since new years, and a lot of guys too, that's really annoying.

EDIT 2 : wow winning and loosing up to 25 points it's really hard, i wish the defense would only lose 50% of the winners points.

"Adjusted rewards for some tiers of "Improve Trooper Champion" to give Ironite instead of Gold"

Before, all tiers of this achievement gave gold (20k, 30k, 40k, and 50k). However, after the tutorial, because you could easily change your champion to the starting 3 star Rock Golem, you'd suddenly get 50k Gold (or if you lucked out with an early 4 star or 5 star pull from a Rare Soul, you'd get even more Gold). This really messes with our early-game economy expectations, so we figured it's better to give a bit of Ironite that players can spend on Sands, souls, etc instead of all that Gold (or they could convert it into some Gold if they felt that was best).

If you've already redeemed the rewards for those achievements, though, they're still already collected.

This is still being investigated.

In all honesty, a lot of us think shorter would be better too, but we want to try it anyways and see if we'll be surprised. Definitely let us know in the PVP Discussions subforum what your thoughts are after playing with it for a bit; maybe it'll be easier to climb when there's less attacks going out on average.

As I've said before, Visions Eddie's Equilibrium ability is not working as it should. The healing works normally, however this skill does not remove negative effects in the second turn.
For players using Visions Eddie in PvP this is a big problem and I thought you guys would fix it in this patch ... apparently I was wrong ...

Hi! Since the new update, i can't enter into the game :/ It crashes during the download of the new content!
I'm on iphone 6, ios 10.2...
Anyone else has this issue ?

Hey Sparton,

Just want to be sure I understand this correctly;

"Shard and rune inventories now allow up to 60 stacks of items each"

Does this mean that you can have 60 total items in a stack or... 60 stacks of individual items at 99 items per stack?

Thanks in advance for clarifying!

We have this issue being worked on and it should be fixed in the next update.

60 stacks of individual items at 99 items per stack (up from 50 stacks of 99 items per stack).

We tried allowing more items per stack, but there was a compatibility issue that needs to be looked into to make that work.
