[osiris0000]

This was the best update up to date!

Chars i got :

Grim Reaper Eddie
Fear Of The Dark Eddie
Gunner COTD
Sentinel Soulless Demon
Sentinel Allied Bomber Boy
Red Rocket Dog
Blue and Red Pumpkins
Gunner Dog
Wicker Golem (Assassin)
Chattering Skulls (Gunner and Assassin)

Those chars came from Rare souls, and i got the skulls from regular gunner/assasin souls. With Legendary Soul, i got my second Red Pyro Soldier. Well, i cannot complain since i got cool chars! Keep up the good work devs!

Wow! Lucky you.
I've opened all those achievement rewards (legendary soul,like 20 rare/15 rare gunner/assasin souls) spent ironite to buy 30 more rare souls and all my trooper points to buy rare sentinel souls plus about 2M Gold to open them all... all i got was 3 new pumpkins. No Corrupt General, Alliance General, Nomad, Prisoner, any COTD and what i was after the most- no F'N FOTD Eddie!!! so as easy as all that wealth came ,so it went and im left with 3 useless pumpkins. Makes me kinda wonder: Who would be stupid enough to pay 100$ to basically get 2 skill shards and some vendor trash??? that's really something i would never touch with my luck even if i was a millionaire. but i have always been a bad luck legend,no matter what game i play,so i just turn the other cheek.
But overall a great update guys.

That is something I'm planning on smoothing out.



A short-term fix for characters (and sort of talismans) is coming soon, and I'm working with our programmers to ensure we have long term fixes for runes, shards, and souls.



Curious, those workarounds you listed are the ones I know off off the top of my head. I've passed that along to see if others on the team have anything else to suggest, or at least have that as a point of reference to continue investigating that problem.

Thank you so much. It's appreciated.

Need one 3* Yellow shard to upgrade a gunner.

160 SoT in Level X LoL - not one 3* yellow shard

Absolutely maddening

How the heck are we supposed to upgrade anything with a drop rate this stingy? It made SO much more sense when the Rainbow shards were the bottleneck, not the colored, as the colored dungeons only come by once a week - Rainbows are available five days a week. I'd seriously consider reverting to the old drop rate where colored shards fell more freely and rainbow were the bottlenecks. You could grind the dungeons every day and get six Rainbow shards to upgrade one character a week, which seems fair. At this rate, it will take six to eight weeks to upgrade my next gunner! That's crazy!

Red talismans are bottlenecked too due to a windfall of Rainbow runes but inadequate low level 1* and - especially - 2* Runes

Then advancing the talismans becomes another issue

I really appreciate that there is a dialog going here. The Halloween event was awesome. But there are now issues that weren't present before the update that are significantly impacting the this game. Hoping they're getting some attention!

and above all let me add that rainbows drop really often in Battlefield and Underworld, i got like 60 of them now xD

I also really like the update and the Halloween "special".

I was lucky enough to get the gunner COTD, BOTH eddies (got FoTD on the last of 3 sentinel souls from trooper store)' and sentinel soulless demon, and some other dupes.

The new eddies add some nice new offense/defense abilities which have been fun to play with.

My current favorite lineup:
FoTD Eddie/Grim Reaper Eddie
Sentinel allied Bomber Boy with energy and blind talismans. Energy is huge, blinding is great, and defense boost to start helps FoTD Eddie.
Gunner CoTD (still jazzed I finally got her) with thief and assassin talismans.

I basically always have power and fury maxed, and can add a third Eddie based on Boss color. I basically end almost every battle with 95%+ health, without health replenished.

One thing I have recently struggled with is the Doom potential when the 3rd Beast spans. Nothing can cure it now it seems once you have it. Mummy Eddie used to cleanse it. Really makes me want the Pharoah Eddie now as that is the only full proof way to prevent that....with an Eddie. Other strategies?

I've also noticed a significant drop in 3* rainbow runes (talisman upgraders). I used to get about 4-5/ day, now I'm lucky to get 1 or 2.

As noted, hats off to the developers. Great job on breathing new life to the game.

Been playing everyday since July, addictive.

I thought ailing kingdom madness was supposed to drop 3* items after the update. I'm getting lots of 1* stuff

Devs - was the minion hit timing update implemented per the tuning doc on page one of this thread? For me at least it still seems you need to tap well before the circles overlap for a perfect hit?

[Sparton_LOTB]

@Sparton_LOTB: As I cannot buy ironite at the moment from the store (purchase failed) to hunt down the limited sentinel pumpkin - will there be another possibility to get the pumpkins in case this bug will not get sorted in time?

Not sure what our backup plan is. I know it's something we're discussing as a team once we're all in office on Monday; everyone who can work on fixing the issue still is working on it right now.

one suggestion for purchase:

add an option like play x hours/days for x ironite/€ i think many would purchase this especially during such great events!

beside this the droprates of the helloween dungeon are mediocre:

has anyone gotten something else than rare souls?
