Other than having hell getting permadeath on those artillery dogs, but finally managed that.

How did you manage that? I haven't been able to get mine to register...

Finally got one to register tonight with a lvl 1 Desert Warrior.

12 G/A Rare souls today for a Cyborg Eddie!!!!!!! I wanted VH Eddie to help me complete LOL mission but Cyborg will do nicely Also 2x Gunner CotD! (new toon), 2x Wicker Golem (new toon), Burning Mummy Dog (new toon) and the rest dupes including a 4* GS.

5 other rare souls including a Magus for bunch of dupes, none 4*. Win some and you lose some but overall I'd state today as a success.

So to recap over past 2 days I've gone through 30 rare souls and I got a 5* Eddie, four 4* toons and rest all 3* and mostly dupes. So about 1/6 chance to get 4* or better? These current drop rates are improved but they aren't ridiculous either and just giving away rare toons easily. So the question would have to be why don't these drop rates remain beyond this event??! I can't see why not as I'm considering using trooper badges or ironite to buy more souls but I'm still cautious as I know I can still be disappointed. Just my 2 cents for the day.

Skill shards should be removed from sacrifice! out of 4 exalted sacrifices i have got 3x2 skill shards
how does that compare to 20 souls?

with so many places you can get them nowadays i dont think 2 shards compare to 20-30 souls. especially in such an event, where souls actually give something...

It only worked on the cache quest for me, didn't register on the horde. I used SoL Eddie, Death Dog and Assassin Axis Bomber Boy. No energy skills until I got to the Artillery Dogs. Then I'd use AABB's power skill, which seemed to be way less than 50% on applying the effect. Used SoL's heal just to keep from attacking and Death dog just attacked the dogs of war first. Took 3 days to get finished. Day 1, never got it to work. Day 2 managed one permadeath and today got the other two.

Be sure to grab your 2 free rare souls from LotB's facebook page.

Thanks 4 the hint! Got 2 dupes but still better than nothing to sacrifice.

Event is going good for me so far. Other than having hell getting permadeath on those artillery dogs, but finally managed that.

Another day, another try, another wasted chance. I don't know what was wrong today, I went into the Horde Quest with a Prisoner (from troopers) and a Desert Rider. Prisoner smoothly disabled the passives and I managed to easily inflict 4x permadeaths on the artillery dogs... but neither one was registered!! Its because of using a trooper or not....?!? I'm getting crazy.

And in the cache quest my toons are too powerful.

I have a feeling it works on the cache rather than the hoard. I don't think a trooper stopped me from getting it either. Perhaps you need to drop a heap of common souls and hope you get another level 1 desert warrior you can use? Just give it green mystical talismans to help it survive without doing much damage.

Maybe it works just on the cache but they should've said that in the trial description.. anyways, your suggestion is good, will try to get a Desert Warrior (not Rider like I've said before). Got a platoon of them which went all sacrificed, the one I'm using right now was spared and promoted just to this special occasion. Now I should pray for the RNG gods for an other.

If it is only the cache as I suspect going by how others have had success there too, its possible its a bug and not intended. I also sacrificed quite a few DWs over time but recently decided to keep most toons if I didn't have them already just in case. Then these missions came about so that turned out to be a good decision. If you can't get a desert warrior do you have a mummy dog/burning mummy dog or magus axis soldier? they have a chance to inflict permadeath but not a sure thing like the desert warrior so might take a few more tries.

Well, that's the thing. The players with six figure Iron Coin reserves are also the players who are typical repeat visitors for Eternal and King divisions, which means they already are getting a dozen or so more Skill Shards than the average player... and also fairly engaged/hardcore players (by virtue of the weekly reset rewards). Doubling that massive advantage would definitely feel rewarding for that subset of players, but it risks creating even more of a divide that I don't think we're comfortable with.

Which isn't to say we won't make a package like that like that in the future, or other deals like the one-time Eternity Soul, but I don't think we'd add something like that as a routine purchase.

I understand your point, but there are smaller things that can be done in the arena store, such as taking the limit of 1 per week in souls and including G / A soul in the arena store. Until today I do not understand this protection of you with this soul. Basically it would look the same in the store with the troop points but as more flexibility to decide what to buy during the week using troopers points or iron coins.

Cheers
