August 25th 2017 Update Discussion

Possible bug?
When the GUAS's rapid fire extra turn procs, only 1 party member is getting an extra turn. I verified this in BNW, and the Arena. I don't think this was intended with the update, right? He was a great toon for BNW.

Thanks for listening, and I'm enjoying BNW more now.

Mine's still giving the extra turn to multiple characters, sometimes. I have an accuracy buff on him, I don't know if that would make a difference there. Thanks to this character and a couple other I never used, I'm also enjoying BNW quite a bit. Just not what it's doing to my ironite reserves.

Same here, he is great in BNW. That's weird. Since the update, its only one toon getting the extra turn for me. I verified it at least 10 times.

He just gave 2 party members and extra turn in BNW. Still not the entire team as before the update. Hopefully Sparton will chime in on this.

i like the effects of the new valkyres. Warrior will be a blast in pvp. Trying to get her at high priority.
Sentinel seems to be fun with blockers on her team.

As for the souls:
me and my friend spent 1000-2000 saved up ironite on all devices (6 devices) : nothing new, except some 4* dupes and the gunner spawn... no valkyries.
Result: ~90 BNW souls spent: 3 5* Chars (assassin COTD, Viking and Mystic Eddie), 3 corrupt rescuers (2x gunner, 1x warrior) ~10 4* dupes and the rest was 3*! So much for the drop rates.

The only "good" thing are a few assassin and gunner and warrior spawns. they may come in handy.
On thing i noticed that the assassin harpy now adds 2 death marks at the beginning to each enemy. I'm sure, pre-patch it was only one. Now makre her even more valuable. Also gunner corrupt rescuers revive now also grant eddie endure. (before, even if he was revived, he did not get endure)
Also like the SOT change for skull quests. Now lower the SOT for the BNW quests.

I've never had one single worthy toon drop from these event souls. I bought 1 just to see if my luck would change this time. Nope. Not buying any more.

The prisoners passive is now blocking positive effects.

The Warrior Troll now lowers if he lowers stats not the stats of the whole team, only of 1-2 enemies... Is that intended?
And my ACR always seals two enemies.. Is that intended?

Thanks for the changes to BNW and Skull Quest.

Would you also consider lowering SoT in BNW to say LoL levels? Also the ironite cost to revive is crazy at 40! Considering lowering that as well please? Not that I use revive much unless I'm carrying a trooper.

I also wish these updates would be done early in the week. I've spent all week tweaking my Arena teams, and the Arena metrics changed significantly since the update.

I just lost twice in a row to the Assassin Valkyrie. As has been mentioned in this thread, she is way overpowering! Would be nice to have some time to adjust instead of having to do it at the midnight hour.

Couldn't agree more on the timing of updates. I planned this week around the current meta and actually had a great hold rate for first time ever only to find once the change happened I didn't have one signal hold. Because of the nature of arena and when it resets meta changes should really be held for Monday or Tuesday like that. Friday is just a terrible time to change the meta that drastically.

Also getting a lot of freezes on the immortality revives it seems. All week didn't run into issue once, now have run into it three times just since update.

[JJJ428]

Make it four and counting.

I don't think he's supposed to routinely give the whole team an extra turn; perhaps you were just lucky.

I used him a lot in BNW too. Sometimes no extra turns - sometimes just him - sometimes multiple allies. Completely random.
