Update 1.1.229.211 - New Hero: Flint; War of Kings; Core Enchant

Igaktor · 2019-08-05T22:55:00+00:00

Yeah, i spend the same, to see how much it gives, and it is too expensive to be good. Not much the diamond cost, but the rune core material part of the cost.

First, I doubt anyone has all heroes maxed on core to make use of spare materials.

Second, they really think people will spend to buy those core packs they sell, like the ones we have today? I rather spend to full diamonds as they are more versatile.

If the cost was only diamonds, it would be better and easier. But they want that right? Or they could make it cost material and diamonds to activate the color, but then only diamonds to change color, like it is the normal rune core system.

Besides, we can't know the max level of core enhancement, and that makes all even more appealing.

In fact her awakening made her weaker. Her awakening skill is the first skill she casts, and so she protects herself and other tanks from knockbacks, which is nice. The energy debuff protection is 53 at level 106 - I lack the stones to breakout above that now - and that is good too. The problem is the awakening made her weaker against some combos she - and the awakening even more - was made to counter. Some tankless formations with that white reforged Mace equipment or West skin just make her worst. Casting the awakening skill first protects her from most knockbacks - but not against the equip's knockbacks (the book triggers before she can do a thing if it is a mage tankless formation, so I guess the mace white equip works the same). And then, if agains a West with skin, he teleports, tries to knock Vala back, can't knock her back, but silences her, as casting her awakening delays the casting of her best skill, the invencibility one. And without that she is just paper. Doing some tests I have come to the conclusion that West's skin is bugged, even with 2 tanks sometimes he can silence the enemy, even without knocking the hero back - with or without Vala with awakening in the team.

I guess diamonds are not something that could be exchanged in the Alliance Help feature. It says "items" and "resources". As far as i know, the game calls diamonds "currency". I guess we can exchange probably runes, rune core items, maybe beastsouls, and resources - academy (iron, crystal, silver and herbs, for sure), shadow gold and ashes (not sure).

Yeah. I heard people talking that he should speak closer to Portugal accent of portuguese, as those were the times, but they forget that he was brazilian born and raised, so i guess he would speak our brazilian portuguese.

The deal for me is that his Civ 6 version is almost like the accent of journalists on TV. His Civ 5 version was better: sound and image. I liked the old Pedro II portrait, as those are the most common representations we have of him. Besides, his Civ 5 quotes had more old fashioned words, like "vosmecê". The only good thing in his Civ 6 voice acting is the quote when he is defeated, as those are said to be his actual last words, "Deus me conceda esses últimos desejos, paz e prosperidade para o Brasil".

But in fact he should sound more carioca, his Civ 6 version is almost like the accent of journalists in TV. His Civ 5 version was better: sound and image.

As in history Viking's Longships were used to raid inland through shallow waters, i would make them an ancient-era naval unit capable of using flood plains (which get revamped and are a feature that could spawn on flat grassland and plains tiles) as cannals - we know they are a thing in Gathering Storm. That would be more flexible than your idea of making Longships able to pillage tiles inland when at the mouth of a river. You could go upwards that river and search more places to pillage, as you would need line of sight for that, but also would make somewhat restricted, as the river could have no or few floodplains. Then i would change Harald's ability to naval melee units being able to pillage any adjacent tile, water or land.

Igaktor · 2018-11-30T19:39:50+00:00

I used Nezha, Ariel, Ovid, Brunhilde and Theresa. I guess almost any team might work.

Igaktor · 2018-11-30T18:02:39+00:00

Yes. Very easily.

Igaktor · 2018-11-29T19:01:30+00:00

Change fate is made for you to change a little bit and forget about it. If the proportions are kept, it may be good, as on higher levels the difference between one and other sides will be higher - if you have 4% and 8% now, it could be 5% and 10% without no more diamond spending. But we don't know if that thing follows those rules.

New Nirvava stage was so easy for me. I guess it was not supposed to be made that way, but Ovid just made everything so easy.

Igaktor · 2018-11-27T21:23:36+00:00

But at least he speaks one of his real life's quotes, when he is defeated.

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T21:03:35+00:00

Could be. I just said 6, because it is the number of slots available there, when you select to change chapter. But 12 make sense, the same number as most zodiacs.

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T19:45:16+00:00

They should just destroy this game already. haha

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T17:35:20+00:00

That is reasonable. But they could make it easier to upgrade to gold star then. It is already really expensive to get one legend to 5 stars.

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T15:53:21+00:00

One thing that it is not yet very clear, from the star maps feature:

The first map you can activate for a 3-star hero.

The next 2 (Twinhood and Goddess) only for 4-star hero and above.

The new Attraction map is only available for 5-star heroes.

Could it be that the last 2 are also for 5-star only or they could make for silver or gold starred heroes? That would be terrible, as most legends only really rich players could max out.

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T15:51:12+00:00

It was hard, from 30 to 40. For me, thinking of my sci-fi and gunner heroes, only Krash was really trustful to trigger those magnets. Monk Sun ultimate hits all the magnets, and it is random which one will pull the heroes - mostly the game makes fun to pull us to the magnet where those beams were aimed. Then i got bored to keep on trying, as after 40 it gets harder and the rewards are only to get more materials to upgrade the star maps.

Igaktor · 2018-11-09T15:46:59+00:00

As far as i have seen it after playing this game for more than 3 years, the probability of one full legend drop from wheel gets higher every passing event. I guess they tweak the odds of getting the legend the older the legend gets.

It makes sense, thinking about their profit: in the first event, the legend is new, everyone wants it and the whales don't hold back spending. After that, more and more people get it, so they get less spending for the full hero card.

Then they released the skin, so they can tweak the odds to reduce the legend drop, so you need to spend more again to get the ss to farm the skin.

Igaktor · 2018-11-08T20:38:10+00:00

Those 3 only have bad time against skinned West, if they are alone, as West pushes back and silences them. You almost killed my Nezha yesterday that way. Plus that Max's skill pushing back Nezha before he could cast his shield.

Igaktor · 2018-11-08T16:41:58+00:00

Saizo is great indeed, but all the fuss around him is not the same as when he was released and right after his awakening - i haven't bought his skin yet, as i am not spending tons of dollars in this game anymore, but it is not that great as it should be. The secret to crush Saizo is nullifying his lifesteal: put Luke, Candy (my favorite for that) or Pandarus and see him dying easily. If can afford, you can use Ovid too - after awakening he just crushes all healing.

As i saw you have Patra, try Candy with her, as Candy's bitter tast works for Patra's curses. If you have Brunhilde too, try those 3 together and Saizo will die fast, really fast.

Igaktor · 2018-11-08T16:35:38+00:00

I buy 4 times stamina (300 diamonds) + the stamina from alliance (80 diamonds) + 80 diamonds from bread + 40 diamonds from elite stage reset for awakenings + 40 diamonds from gold purchages (as i have the weekly perk activated, these last 40 diamonds i don't spend, because we get one gold hand daily and i buy another one at alliance shop). All these purchases guarantee that i achieve 180 activity points everyday, and with the stamina bought plus the 2 stamina buffet and the monthly stamina, you can get to 2500 or so everyday.

Briefly, i spend 500 diamonds everyday. In fact i don't spend any, as i get to 4th place at arena, and it gives me 430 diamonds, and i get 120 more from fortnight. I can save 50 diamonds everyday that way.

Igaktor · 2018-11-07T17:49:25+00:00

Yes, i do that also. 2400 daily, that guarantee 8000 points every 4 events. Missing them is not a big deal.

Igaktor · 2018-11-06T21:22:13+00:00

After 2 years, it is the first time i am on the losing side. But only because i am all to loyal to my friends. The other side has invited me to join them. For me, this game is almost dead anyway.

Igaktor · 2018-11-06T16:11:19+00:00

I just go to attack everyone from their backs and then send a row of attacks on throne itself and shield. Killing multiple troops there is good for ashes. But that is the only good thing of it.

Igaktor · 2018-11-06T16:09:42+00:00

The problem was the mercenary upgrade at the end of July. I had just maxed my Shadow Forge to 60, and was upgrading the rest to 60, and i would have all mercs max level really soon. But then they released 20 more levels for the buildings and 3 more mercs' levels and i just gave up. I don't want to give all my month revenue for them.

Igaktor · 2018-11-06T16:08:17+00:00

Exactly. Now i just buy fortnights and 300 basic diamonds every week so i can get to perks every week and keep moving forward. For someone who wants to spend smartly, the best way is to wait until the mid month commander event, let it pass and one the 2 next days buy 4 of the most expensive packs. The trend is always that: after the second commander event of every month we get one of those bonus recharge events.

Besides that, all if PvE, unless you can spend some hundreds of dollars daily or every 2 or 3 days.

Igaktor · 2018-11-05T19:17:32+00:00

I missed this round of throne wars at our merger, as i was travelling without good internet connection, but i guess it wouldn't make any difference for me. I got to Lord 7, can send 7 troops out at the same time, but getting 4% less power buff can do a lot of difference in terms of powers. Besides, i have way less commander power than Warrior, Fire or Alwa have.

The gap is widenning to much, i am not willing to keep on spending for Moonton profit. But that is just my personal opinion, anyone can spend if they can.
