October 2017 Tuning Discussion - PRELIMINARY

[DaveMurray]

Hmmm just read the update notes.

Nerf again to 5* Eternal Wrath - hahahahahaha
No nerf to 4* purple beast - hahahahaha
Eda, Valkyrie Knight-Immunize-Now also has a chance to grant Perfect Immunity up to 2 allies at the start of battles for 2 turns. - Add endure and you got God mode, hahahaha

That's all. Have fun.

That purple Valkyrie won't get nerfed until I pull her - but I am saving my rare G/A souls and not opening any, so it won't happen. Sorry.

Not shocked that wrath is getting adjusted but obviously eternals are meant to be quite ordinary aren't they? As Rainmaker proves, five stars ain't always as good as four stars...

You know, those female Valkyrie character models really should be redrawn. A number of characters have gone through several iterations of art, so it's not impossible. I really dislike the fact that supposed elite warriors have to wear porn star boots and have unfeasibly large breasts stuffed into an impractically tight costume. There's a time and place for such outfits but the battlefield ain't it. NF - you have an obviously frustrated staffer on the books. Perhaps take him for a night out, yeah?

Where is this new achievement for clearing BNW levels multiple times. Shouldn’t it be in „challenges“? Can’t see it anywhere...

Thought those weren't live yet, are they?

You’re right. Read over that they are targeting end of the month.

It still amazes me to no end that the team cannot fix Thorns or other shield related issues or indeed the VHE fury crash. If I am guessing their bug fixer has been on holidays for two weeks. Now I do have thorns on my defence (these have been on for a long time now) and I notice more are doing the same -I take them off at times from my attack team and go magic based to circumvent the crashes though I have to say thorn v thorn does not always crash the game - it seems to be only certain instances of it. Same with VHE fury move - only crashes sometimes...is that the same for all of us?

Also I have to say that (not owning either VHE or Rainmaker) they really are quite dominant in the arena at the moment and yet still seem to not be getting nerfed like others are.....it does seem odd. Either way I still would rather that there were little to no nerfs unless something is broken or set up not how it is supposed to be. I would rather we have tools or toons to beat the current OP/popular toons or metas.

I think waiting to the end of the month for fixes has to be the longest we have had to wait for such common crashes to be fixed and as far as I can see no explanation as to why it is taking so long to sort - it is a concern I think that the game so desperately needs sorted yet there have not been any quick fixes, never mind full app store updates other then the game name change for IOS11.

Some bugs are hard to track down the actual source of, even when you're able to reproduce it.

In the case of the reflected damage bug, the initial fix of that needed more testing, as it caused other bugs relating to reflected damage that we had to track down and fix. Thankfully, it looks like all of the related knock-ons from that were found and fixed, so the next update will have a fix for that (which should be coming relatively soon).

Additionally, it's not a trivial matter to submit an App Store update that has actual changes to the game (as opposed to the store-facing thing you alluded to) to fix just one or two bugs (even if they are big ones), because it delays the team's ability to fix other bugs as they need to quarantine an update to go live. Thus, more often than not updates will wait until there's a series of other fixes before going live.

Corrupt Ox Cultist, not Corrup. You guys can’t even proofread a Facebook post let alone your computer code. Your ineptitude is getting more and more painful...

Will this update go out before the next PvP reset? According to the october event calender, "Dark rituals in the mayan arena" is up next, and as all the PvP events you've done have been full week events, I'm guessing that event will start this weekend. Another PvP event with the Thorn/Cyclone shield bug would be terrible to bear through.
