Legacy of the Beast State of the Nation 2018 - Discussion

Yup, I’m debating whether I shouls actually Sacrafice my dupe VHE now.

Wonder if when they say you can only use a character once, if that’ll somehow include dupes? I think it’ll be better if it did, but I doubt it will.

that's the key question. will 2 VHEs be usefull? the devs should tell us their plans before the next sacrifice event, otherwise there will be good reasons to rant.

i will be happy to only have one ^^

I don't have anymore info than anyone else, but when the devs expand the character slots to 300, it really hints that you should hang onto your useful dupes. I've also seen a huge increase in drops of toons that have the Block passive. I've been saving them all up, since the game tends to drop toons that you'll need in the near future. Like when new missions come out, you always seem to pull the lower toons that have the exact skillset you'll need to complete a mission.


Also, everything looks great NF, thanks for the update and looking forward to another exciting year! \m/

Yup. Would be very handy to know how Gauntlet works before the next Sacrifice event.

How many levels will there be to clear?
Will it be like every other game mode and you have to use an Eddie?
How many Allies slot will be available? 2, 3, or more?
Can Troopers be used in it?
If you get defeated do the toons you used become unusable or can they be used again to try and clear it and they only become unusable once that level is cleared? Silly if it’s the latter.

If it is like every game mode and you have to use an Eddie than dupes could become a necessity for some. Say we have 20 Levels to clear. Not everyone might have 20 individual Eddies. Dupes would be needed for people to finish it. If it was 30 Levels, I would need Dupes as I only have 24 Eddies

And if Eddies have to be used, then it doesn’t matter how deep your roster is. How many Eddies you have becomes more important.

That being said, I am really looking forward to this game mode. Sonething I’ve wanted for a while!

Hoping the devs can answer some of these questions soon. Even if the answers are slightly veiled to have some secrecy with these new features, but if they don’t give some sort of hint I can see a lot of sacrifice events having a lack luster response. Which is really a shame since I think sacrifice is one of the best features in the game.

Yup. Would be very handy to know how Gauntlet works before the next Sacrifice event.

We are still working out the specifics of some of these issues in playtesting, so it's too early to comment on the exact format at the moment. The mode will launch in a beta stage in the not too distant future and so we'll be able to comment more on the final format and structure then.

[JJJ428]

I had a feeling this was the unannounced game mode that was coming that was going to be beta first. So probably safe for most people to BBQ their dupes this coming sac event. Is there any criteria on who might be beta testing this? I believe last time, arena was beta tested based on geography, but I could be wrong on that and that’s just what some people thought.

[Amarthir]

I'd be happy to be a beta tester if I can. It would actually give me something fun to do.

[MisterEly]

I'm with Amarthir on this one. I would love to be a beta tester, if I am allowed.

[The Educated fool]

Fear not! Most assuredly they shall extend the testing to forum members first. I mean... they'd Beta. (See what I did there? )
