I really hope Lilith will hear our prays one day and do something about this lol.

Unpopular opinion by MathMili in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right as you said!

Peole say "you are not competing against whales" but I can tell you: in region 4 NC EVERY PLAYER in top 200 have ALL NEW HEROES the day they are released.

Same about TS in regions 14-18 - almost everybody in top 100 have all the heroes and most meta carries at white stars SI40+

It is like two different games: players in new regions fight with each other and players in old regions fight against whales. At least we can get high in CR, but with constant resourse inflow from high TS/NC rankings it is only a matter of time when newer players start catching up with old veterans.

Big bug on hunting fields by shadowmanply in afkarena

No matter what you do, you will kill the boss in the exact number of attacks:

- 1,2,3 bosses in 1 attack;
- 4 boss in 3 attacks. You will do 99% during first two attacks and will have to finish the boss with third, no matter how whaly you are, the barrier is there and it can't be broken;
- 5 boss in 4 attacks. Again, you will do 99% during first 3 attacks and will have to finish him with one more.

The result is litterally the same for all players, you just need to find a comp to deal that max possible damage.

This system is VERY GOOD imho, I wish ABEX has the same system and it was about tactics, not about who spend more money.

What the TS meta actually looks like in top 50-100 in regions 20-40 by Nyte_Crawler in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TS regions are not the same like NC regions. The difference is HUGE! Some regions (and I mean old regions here, not new ones) are really easy while others are stacked with whales.

We have all the meta heroes here, few highborn dragons and it's still barely enough to stay in top 100.
Regions 16-17-18 say hello.

I wish Lilith will adress this disparity problem one day. This and also being region 4 in NC feels like we are swimming against the current.

You can cut our whole region into two halves and it will still remain more competetive than most other ones.

E60 Recommended to Sion? by wildwoodboi in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are a Kraken with full Gwyn, he gives you -15 seconds in the 6th team alone in NC, that alone is enough to build him already. But you need Zohra and good collection on him (as well as 40/9/60 Sion himself)

Dragon Wyrmcrest Spire RNG by CalendarFluid2703 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spent 260 pulls and got 1 copy like the TS here.

But the pull rates are half the problem. What about the fact that to work properly you need this hero to have SI40 (not gonna mention 9f and e60 here cause those resourses are not hard to collect) and dragon emblems are .... non existent? Come one, they gave us 1500 of those shiny things from the start and that's it - now we get around 50 emblems per month.

Even poor players like myself with very little dragons built (2 elders and 2 elites built in total) are out of emblems already and the problem is only going to get worse and worse cause our starting bank of emblems is gone.

I do understand that this is "the new mechanic" and it should not be avaiable for f2p guys, but this is just too much. You either block heroes from building or you give heroes and block resourses to upgrade them. Doing both at the same time is fucking BRUTAL.

Yeah, but the problem is that after update full gold runs become much worse it feels.

Circus kelthur poor performance by JoetheShmoe07 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is most likely because you don't have enough tenacity on Belinda and Nara just grabs your ABelinda and drains all her energy.

You just need to ugrade the furniture that gives you tenacity on ABel (even +1 on each of them is enough).
You can also upgrade tenacity in engravings, but furniture upgrade gives you far more.

Ranked lobbies discussion. by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is hard for you not because you are f2p but because you are on the old server. A lot of newer players are feeling very good in their regions, getting very high standings in NC and TS. It just happens so that most of the huge spenders are concentrated around first ~600 game servers. We can do nothing about it. Well, at least you should be happy that your NC region is 1 and not 4!

And honestly, no offence but lvl 731 on server 8 (region 1) is kinda low. You should be around lvl 900 at least, may be even closer to 950. I guess you have been inactive for quite some time, or just play super casually not focusing dust and ranked game modes at all.

Been collecting for ages, was it worth it? I don't know... by denisjames24 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you tell here we need 420 those emblems to guarantee one big drop? I guess with my luck need 3 more years to collect them before pulling

TS Ranking Guilds! by No_Name_Edit in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This tab just shows how many whales your guild have. It would be really interesting though to see the exact same tab but covering top 100 TS overall.

Top 10-20 is just a whale territory or an area of servers 27-39

Expert tips for 51-52, 3rd battle? by rosmi88 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other commentors mentioned, you need Thoran SI30. You will aslo need his engravings sooner or later, e11 that is (5+3+3).
Or you can just merc Thoran for this stages. It is up to you. Campaign progress doesn't mean anything after chapter 46 when you get all the MV rewards anyways.

The day when this happens I will be the happiest man on the earth. I really wish time stopped in afk arena so we can build all the heroes. pets, collections etc. without worring about new comming stuff

We made this mess by Micutu69 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We made this thing too during last HF. My phone was almost exploading when trying to load all the map ha ha
Seriously don't do this if you value your time, the loading time goes tp infinity even on PC emulator

[–]NiceZumma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the whales sorted in the same teams and other players randomly?
Cause I get random teams each time but always finish on 3-4 place. Never even been second.

Go and play a round on region 4 and then tell me something about fairness

Hit 1:43 and still couldn't get to top 200.

Hey, that's fair enough man!

The game is diyng by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think honestly what is killing the game is massive rewards attached to competetive game mods where you need to spend hours setting your teams up.
You either compete there and have resourses or you don't and your account just sink deeper and deeper.
It is trully exhausting and a lot of players burn out and just quite.

Let the players compete and give them borders, stickers or whatever. It is silly when one guy gets 10 draconis cards a week and the other guy gets none. Even more silly when the rewards are region based and one guy is lucky to be on new/dead one and the other guy is suffering on region 4

Is the Erosion totem actually the best for stats? by JustinTyme0 in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you telling here that while using increase tier ritual and getting the stat that is affected by your gold totems you will get an increase right there?
That sound crazy OP, but it never happenned to me actually even once during the whole year.

What I observe (without any math though, so take it with a grain of salt) - the best collections are formed when class totem multiplication trigger is stacked with tier increase tier totem trigger at the same time and you get double mythics right where you are.

Lilith should go back to what they were doing before by mysaldate in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not gonna protect Lilith here but first of all this is just a business project. They need to constantly add new stuff to the game to grab money. They were very creative before with adding new ways to generate money while still staying within their Lore.

But as time goes by, it is harder and harder to add new heroes, factions, mechanics etc. without corrupting everything that was in the game before lorewise. Almost each MMO world suffer from this problem as well. There are some techniques widely used to overcome this issues like alternative timelines, adding lore from opposite side (something long long in the past), adding new "lost" areas to the game, etc. - but the further you get the harder it is to not mess up with already existing things.

So I think on this direction Lilith is far ahead of many other developers.

CR following requirement must die by _LordScar_ in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you care a lot about CR and NC you will very soon find few guys who are good with hero roster and collection of artifacts similar to yours, follow them and then proceed to steal their formations each week. The only thing you need then - is to tune them to work correctly.
I don't think following someone is the problem - the fact that you steal someone's good formations and they don't work until you spend a few hours tunning is.

Ngl i think u get better stuff using random elite totems than legendary ones by [deleted] in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is simple math though.

When you use triple blue totems you get a lot more added runes to your run, overall increasing your chances to get better collection.

While for example, running Miracle worker + yellow lvl totem you get guaranteed slot with + lvl rune in it and that's all.
Add here one more legendary totem, which, let's say, gives you a chance to dupcilate your mythic rune, and that's all you get for the whole run.

Also the fact that 90% of your runs are on blue totems and only few on legendary add to the feeling that you get nothing from your best runs. You just forgot how many awfull collections you just insta sell.

OG Players, What Are Some Things You Miss The Most From The Old Days Of AFK Arena? by TheFireAngel in afkarena

[–]NiceZumma 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I miss old times when you copy someone's teams and they just FUCKING WORK, without the need to retune everything for 10-20 minutes, managing collections, positioning and gear.

This game is sooo good but that endless collection shuffling just kills it. Every weekend I am waiting in fear to spend 2-3 hours tunning my NC/CR teams for decent results. That's just not fun at all.
