lol Mizrael, neither a new player or a fool, just hopeful. If you're gonna label me that, and I dominated whenever I wanted to, what does that make the rest of you? Brain dead vegetables? lol.

A little off topic but are the soul chances really low after the update. Dropped a stack of 99 regular souls and only got 5 *** toons. Used to be 10-12.

Dont have multiple other stacks to confirm

souls dropp chance (with all souls) to have a good toon is the biggest and boring problem of that game, i said that since a long time
dupes dupes and dupes...

Been attacked in PVP 2.75 times what I've attacked so far. Kinda demoralizing.

Feeling very Homemlivre. Many people now feeling your prior pain.

My apologies, but I don't meant to imply that it's definitely a connection issue, just that it's a possibility. Mobile connectivity is notoriously sketchy (it has been since smartphones first were a thing), but I would grant that there is probably parts of our handling that could be improved to silently retry or something to minimize how often players would see error popups.

No problem, thanks for clarifying. Yeah just seemed a bit like you spoke with the programmer, he said it was the clients connections fault and that was that. And I get it's hard, that's why your team is getting paid

Hopefully we see some tuning to the connection managing in the near future. Must be something pretty big if it affects lots of people, other apps deal with timeouts much more gracefully. Have been playing others to test out the connection theory and didn't have a single issue in those after hours and hours of play. Seems isolated to this app. Good luck with figuring out the issue.

Also: I just saw Gunner Corrupt Rescuer Stun my characters 3 times in a row? am I missing something here? she used both, her power and basic abilities and my characters got stun out of nowhere ... that is the weirdest thing I've seen happenig

I've seen this as well, and I believe the culprit is Thorn talismans. Those things are borderline (if not already) OP as it seems that the burn they inflict has a great chance to stun your toons (add to that the fact that we can no longer obtain these things and it gives older players a HUGE advantage :| ).

I'm in the same boat, man. Wanna go fishing?
Attacks: 100
Defense: 224

Ugh. I'm hovering around the low 1000s rank and can't do shit to get higher besides spending ironite that I'd rather save for better rewards.


On a positive note: this update has allowed me to throw my Cyborg into my defense finally, and I've actually achieved a higher hold percentage with the guy.

I meant people who appear once a year to say "Thank you Sparton! you nailed it! way to go!".
Didn't notice that you mentioned such a thing...it's not all about you,you know?

But yeah, to be completely honest, you are probably right. anyone of us, who are still around (some even still HOPEFUL! o.O ) is close to a brain dead vegetable. like a bunch of junkys puking from heroine under a bridge..."damn! that was a bad high!!! but maybe it will be better tomorrow! i'll definitely try again!"

No worries haha

And yeah I'm usually pretty skeptical by nature, that's what I get for trying to be positive for once!

Today was hard.

Lots of game crashes, lost 4 or 5 fights due to "additional content required do play" stuff.

Sparton, is there a specific time when you guys do this?

Jofer, I'll give it a shot.

Cheers

• Refined matchmaking values to improve emphasis on players having a fairer attack:defense ratio

Yesssssssssss, I'm back in "not seen in any attack list" state.
Or everyone is afraid of my Mummy/ABB/Troll/SSD defense team?

I'm #26 with 255X points
I attacked 147 times for a "low" percentage due to update that killed AoS against prisoner
I was attacked... 55 times for a great 8% of holds.
And AFAIS it is only revenge.

From what I read from Homemlivre and others boyz that used to be massively attacked is that they are back in this state,
I would think that you rolled back previous improvement on matchmaking more than deploying a new tweak.

Not that I will cry (rly?) but may that could help to understand what is going on

As well, I saw once a guy in my attack list announced with 2XXX points (he was the highest points guy in list)
after a quite easy win, win screen announced that he have only 9XX points.
I did not find my screenshot anymore so...
