October 2016 Tuning Update (LIVE)

It was from if the make them match the numbers of the other tailismans.

'Various talisman stat irregularities have been corrected (such as overpowered Overwhelming)' ?

In my head this doesn't mean exact match of ward and overwhelming, for example.
Maybe it gets from 6800 to 5900 how are you all discussing 12HP losses with certainty?

i think it should be possible to win with a smart strategy, not only with the right toon. let's take the corrupt general. when he stuns the enemy with 95% (paired with the warrior bomber boy or assassin troll) there is no chance for the opponent to win, when you start the battle. such things shouldn't be possible, so it's more than okay to balance them.

balancing is all about action and counter action. if you do something the opponent has to have an opportunity to counter it, regardless what you do and regardless what team you have. that's an ideal scenario.

take stracraft 2 as example. it's so well balanced so that you can take every race and win the game, if you are good.every unit has a specific counter unit. so you won't have an advantage, regardsless which toons you use it solely skill based. that is balance in my opinion.in an ideal world with an ideal LOTB everyone should have the chance to beat anybody with his toons, as long as his skill is better....

Actually you could beat that team by killin the general first easily done with a good team or you could through permadeath on him then kill it. But it still revolves around chance were you lucky enough to get the general, do the right skills proc, did you get a perfect hit. I get it the game needs some balance but it's still mostly chance with strategy and skill thrown in.

i feel everyone s pain .. but i have been really unlucky in this game. cause of the random drop system i have never gotten a 5 star character. (so i dont have alliance general and pharrow eddie or samurai etc) so i did nt really use a lot of overwhelming and fierce talismans. i would love some ways to get thees toons without a random drop (hopefully thru daily rewards etc or special character / eddie souls)

PS - i did get 1 visions eddie but he is too powerful to group in the 5* category

Getting a message that says "This version is out of date. Please upgrade to the latest version! NeedsUpgrade" When I click on it, I'm directed to Google Play Store. There is no upgrade option, just the option to uninstall. Do I uninstall?

Keep calm everyone...

Just because something got nerfed (in many cases - slightly) doesn't ruin everything. I'm sure that it's for the greater good of the game overall. PvP will heighten the value of this game many times over, but it won't be fun playing PvP if there is poorly balanced characters & abilities... I for one don't want to play a multiplayer game where "unless you have a corrupt general with XYZ, then you will get your ass handed to you". It should be about STRATEGY, not grinding for an OP toon. These changes may disappoint you now, but in the long run, they will make the game so much better, and that's what the devs are carefully crafting.

Just my two cents.

Those of us who came on board July didn't grind their butts off for the greater good. There are more creative ways of dealing with PVP (restrictive leagues w bonuses, vs anything goes battles, etc)

If every team you have built is trashed because of nerfs and hundreds of hours of game play are now worthless. I think you have a right to be worried or to complain. When I choose to play a game I go all out in it and spend allot of time on it. If the nerfs are as bad as they sound you are right I'm worried.

This.

PS... Instead of worrying about talismans and character attributes for a game option that isn't even available...

Perhaps devs should be focused on more pressing matters, like the constant crashes playing the allied magus soldier?

You mean F'N Visions Eddie?? Hahah he's so strong that if you choose him, you can't choose any more allies....

OMG! Slauki, we both referenced SC2 at the same time! My post was in a different thread though... so funny!

To append what Slauki was saying... the other element at play to ensure an evenly balanced game between to players would be matchmaking... so that a super evolved player isn't paired up against a noob. If the matchmaking does it's job right, and the game is balanced well, this should be a very fun PvP game!

The devs are grouped into teams based on their areas of expertise. The dev group that is working on additional content are not qualified to troubleshoot bugs or do technical support. All of these things (new content, balancing, and bug fixes) are being worked on simultaneously I'm sure.

The nerfing and speculating is all moot until we can get in the game and see how bad or not it is.
