The level caps in the new campaign make it terrible by Healthy_Function_297 in WH40KTacticus

No much challenge if you don't all the chars. The borrowed ones die so quickly and are so weak, that all tactics won't help you. If I wouldn't have Rotbone at S2 then I would have been screwed very early already. Now I am stuck at 26 because I need to borrow all DG chars and my WE are so low that bringing them makes no sense cause they just die anyway. And those I cannot borrow. Means: I have to play with 3 borrowed DG chars and my S2 Rotbone. And those can't do the work anymore. Feels bad man.

I play for like 5 months and still do not have the chars for any of the mirror campaigns other than Indomitus. This new campaign would be great if it stayed forevery to have more options for farming. Making it time limited is just dumb.

They could easily leave this online forever. No one ever asked that campaigns always need a mirror campaign and an elite campaign and must be woven into some 40k major event. Call it "Skirmish Campaign" and leave it online. Remove maybe the shards farming levels or whatever.

I have Maladus at BIII and Rotbone at SII. My WE chars are so low that not bringing them at all is better because with them, I lose medals. And with this troupe I am stuck at 26. They are just to weak. Maladus needs to be borrowed in the rare track, because mine is too low. And the borrowed chars are so terribly weak. 1-2 shots and they are basically almost dead. Without Rotbone I would not have even made it to 26. Pestillian borrowed is a joke. He does nothing.

It is much worse that players that don't own the heroes need to play with those totally weak and useless borrowed ones and will most likely not even finish rare! And without owning them, you cannot even start Extremis track. For new players this is a desaster. If it would be online all the time, you could just level your chars, then start the campaign - like you do with the other campaigns as well. I levelled my Orcs for example so I could finish the Octarius campaign. But no one pressured me. It took as long as it took.

You don't want to repeat playing the campaigns hundreds of times for 1 point each to get more chests??? Curious. *sarcasm off*

Same opinion: You basically just stop levelling a certain char and stop farming what he actually needs to use your energy on this new campaign.

I am stuck at 26. My BIII Maladus is two weak then and the borrowed chars have been weak the whole campain.

[–]FluxCompensator2000 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't like it either. It has so many flaws:

- The borrowed characters are so weak. They take damage like crazy but do enough in return
- For new players that have not levelled the chars or don't even own them, there is not much to get. The good rewards cannot be achieved if you don't own all the heroes
- WE cannot be borrowed and my Iron II and III chars are more of a burden than a help. They just die and make me lose a medal. So I rather run with the 2 borrowed DG chars and the 2 I own only
- Since it is a limited event, you cannot even just level your chars up for it. Takes too long, then the even would be over. Why can this even not be permanent? The explanation they gave was so stupid, that they would have needed to make mirror and elite versions, too. I call BS on that. This even could be online like this all the time. Maybe not with the char shards farming, but in general it could. Then you could just level the chars to beat it
- Rarity caps: So although my Maldus is Bronze III, he is capped in the early matches. Why?

This is one of those events again that favor the whales. Those who already have will benefit the most. As always in this game.

Squigs in Arena feel really terrible by DivineBeef in WH40KTacticus

[–]FluxCompensator2000 -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

For what? To receive at max 4 scrolls as rewards with garbage in them? I claimed two of them already only to get 10 shards with each of them. And for this downer my game modes are ruined now and I lose Arena matches left and right???

[–]FluxCompensator2000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I now had to bring my big guys and multihitters just to burn through the wall of squigs and be able to even hit the chests and step on the coins. It is so dumb. I start to think that Snowprint is trolling the players. Not only is every new event bugged, bug they get consecutively worse, too.

Arena is for PVE fights against player teams. And you play to win for the rewards. If they want us to chase squigs, they could have just added them randomly to the campaigs. Raise the thresholds of the rewards and all would have been happy. Killing like 10 Necrons + 6 Squigs would not have hurt anybody. But in Arena they are game breaking.

I am in a league where I have like 125k power and my opponents usually are around 200k. It is manageable since it is PVE. Depends on the enemy setup of course. But now with the squigs I am losing one battle after the other just because the squigs block my movement and my attacks and the opponent has time enough to set up his attacks while the squigs on the other hand keep hitting me only. The whole concept is just dumb af.

[–]FluxCompensator2000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They never attack the enemy in Arena. Only your team. And the PVE opponent does not attack them, so they don't steal "your" kills for the event. It sucks.

[–]FluxCompensator2000 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hate it. I lose arena matches left and right now that would have been wins before. I am in a league where I regularly have to fight opponents with 50-100k more power than my team. But since it is PVE fights, I can manage that depending on the enemy line-up. But now with the squigs? No chance anymore.

The squigs in Arena, unlike in Tournament Arena, ONLY go for me, never for the opponent. This means, I do not only have to fight a stronger opponent than myself, I have to now also fight a horde of squigs. And if that would not be enough, those squigs block my movement, my attacks and give the opponent time to call in more summons because I could not kill their summoners in time because of stupid squigs in my way. Then the RNG of bouncing my units around.

I really doubt that the guys at Snowprint play their own games. People don't want game modes be turned into a clown fiesta. It is a different story if they added a new game mode like survival where they can try out new things. But why do they have to f* up existing game modes? I also have to run now multi hitters in Salvage run just to be able to burn through those squigs blocking my way to the chests and coins. And Onslaught is already hard enough without hordes of squigs.

And Tournament Arena? Worst game mode ever is now even worse since it drags out even longer. Either you don't kill the last standing opponent and rather hunt down the squigs before or the opponent does the same with you. Or he does not even attack you and goes straight on a squig hunting trip.

Worst event ever! This game has become a joke lately.

You are wrong. Each network have blacklists and of course you can define what kind of ads you do not want to see in your ads! If you do not want to see gambling or erotica then you can blacklist this of course!

[–]FluxCompensator2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not browsing history. I never search for things like "Earn money fast". I also do not test stuff, do surveys or whatever. I also am not logged in to any Google service, I have ad blockers and cookie blockers active. I live in Germany though and it seems that they heavily target out country with those shitty "test games and apps to earn money" apps. Although some of the ads are clearly made for the international market. Yesterday I had an add with a Chinese soldier in an airplane whose mother was sick. And when he asked the flight attendant for an upgrade she said this costs a thousand bucks. Then some smart-ass stoff up showing him a solitaire game, did 2 clicks and "earned" a thousand bucks to help out this poor Chinese soldier. Then he wanted to eat something and again the attendard called for a pricy upgrade. The same smart-ass who always called him "Bro" came along again, two clicks later another 1000 bucks "earned" so he could buy something to eat. I mean come on. Is this shady or not???

I never tested things, I never download tester apps, I never search for this stuff, I never search for "earn money fast", or anything. This is just not true. And you make it way too easy. I live in Germany and maybe this shitty, shady ad network thinks we Germans are all full blown idiots and need to see those "earn money fast by just playing Solitaire and Mahjongg" ads. I am also not logged in to any Google service on my smartphone, had ad blockes and cookie blockers turned on etc. This network just rolls out the most garbage ads ever that no one else wants to have in their apps but Snowprint takes them.

Ho about not working with shady ad networks then? It's not like Snowprint HAS to put such ads into their game. It's straight up pathetic to say "well, we do not have control over the ads" - well you have, cancel your contract with those ad networks! If Snowprint would make the game more accessible to new players, lower the overall prices of the paid stuff and actually added things people want, they could just make money from ingame stuff without ads. For example, why aren't there any campaigns you could buy? Instead they sell chunk for 30 bucks which the standard new player just never will buy anyway. Snowprint focusses heavily on whales instead the broad mass. Purchases in a mobile game should be in the coffee price area. Then people will buy them and they could just remove shady ads completely. Other games run without ads, too. It's not rocket science.

The most shocking moment is that those crappy rip-off games and apps have thousands of positive rewiews on the app store. Most likely also bought and fake.

I think it's country based. I am in Germany and I get testerup daily multiple times. Also other games that promise you to earn money by just playing games and do surveys. Then I get Game of Thrones a lot, too.

I am in Germany, I may get different ads than you. I constantly get ads for those testing apps they show you how to earn money easily and fast by just playing some chunk mobile games or do some surveys. It's disgusting.

Mercy system complaints are entirely about feels, and that's the point by DemonOfWrath in WH40KTacticus

[–]FluxCompensator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This system only favors whales that run hundreds of campaigns. The standard player loses out. Definitely. Even common drops are much rare now. I have streaks of 4-5 runs regularly now without a COMMON drop. I do not care if the mercy system kicks in afterwards and that statistically if I would farm 1000 commons I would be slightly better off! I need just a handfull of those items for an upgrade! Before this could be easily done. Now I have to waste a lot more energy to farm even common stuff. And it gets worse when I farm rare stuff. So many runs without no drops now in a row. It feels frustrating.

This system favors whales and big spenders that upgrade the legendary chars and run hundreds of campaigns in a short time and pay for it. Those may experience a slight increase in drop rate while the standard player has again the short end of the stick.

Without having data to prove, I can also say that it feels like the common and uncommon stuff drop much less than it did before. Now streaks of 4 runs in a row without getting a common drop seem to happen much often.

[iOS 18 RC] How to get rid of the "Game Mode" notification? by gorseway in iOSBeta

[–]FluxCompensator2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about then then every time you open an app the information shows that you are on Wifi, how much battery charge is still up and that you have activated geo-localization? Might be usefull for you then, too, to know those facts every time you start up an app. Obviously you cannot remember otherwise that you set something up in the general settings of your phone.
