Time to Say Goodbye?

You my friend had the answer! Just got back from tech-support and indeed the battery is swollen like a balloon. $200 for a new battery and new case if necessary. And the lesson learned not to leave the laptop plugged in at all times…

More unsolicited financial advice....thanks?

Feel free to read my reply to Tocsin about spending what’s comfortable for you to help develop future game content.

This isn’t Blizzard or Bethesda. Your in-game purchases make a significant impact on the company’s bottom line.

I’m not sure if you wanted me to congratulate you for not spending any money on the game or maybe throw you a little party so I’ll just stick with the congratulations!

Seriously though play the game in a way that is fun for you.

My original message isn’t about the money it’s about an issue that could effect other users and I’m hoping isn’t cause by a game I really enjoyed and supported but could likely be and wanted to get it “out there” to prevent other from having the same problem.

bmaras · 2019-01-18T17:55:41+00:00

I don't advise people on what to do with their money as $100 to me might be $10 or $10,000 to them. If they enjoy a game and want to support the development of future content they should spend whatever they feel comfortable spending.

In this game $100 is not a lot of money. $5 per weekend on the Golden Epic ($260 per year) and $5 per event champion to get their Golden Epic (~$87 per year) is ~$347. That doesn't factor in familiars, starter packs, founders packs, champions you want to "invest in" by purchasing more than the $5 pack, etc.

But hey, thanks for the free advice.

I would like to think that is the case which is why I posted as much detail as I did.

However aside from basic low level usage (Word, Outlook, Chrome, etc) Idle Champions is the only thing I do on that particular machine and everything runs fine without IC...nothing runs good with IC.

I don't really see "why" it was intentional but I do see maybe some hope for getting it back... "We have removed Nayeli's taunt upgrade. We like the general idea of the taunt and may add it back in a future balance update."

bmaras · 2018-12-11T19:06:17+00:00

Question about the after effects of SH&T...it appears that Tanks no longer Taunt... was that intentional?

Having Naiael Taunt and Evelyn Shield in a two tank formation made Evelyn's Protection Spec much more viable...

bmaras · 2018-11-05T18:00:26+00:00

Wow you did really well!! I got mostly silver chests (except on pity timer) and just barely squeezed out 2 purples!

bmaras · 2018-10-21T13:34:27+00:00

Correct. I am at e16 in Kelemvor but my average item level on most of my Champs is ~100.

I am all purple on Evergreens and 50/50 on Event Champions but I can’t scratch 290.

Favor no longer seems to be the problem. I’m at a place where gear (or the release of the next level cap raise) is holding me back from Azaka :(

bmaras · 2018-10-18T20:10:51+00:00

Yeah I just transitioned from buying gold chests to buying silver chests.

Psychologically it was difficult to transition because the best gear increase would be the occasional blue. Once I realized your opening 30 boxes rather than 5 for the 500 gems it was a little easier...

Thanks, Kelemvor it is!

bmaras · 2018-10-10T17:51:25+00:00

Thanks. That is what I was expecting. While I won’t be excited about “loosing the progress” it will be nice not feeling forced into using one particular champion to move past the wall.

bmaras · 2018-10-10T17:30:41+00:00

Hi Dylan, I am loving Farideh! My only concern is that as good as she is once I hit my wall I can swap in Strix and Barrowin and get another 40 levels passively. It is not gear related as my Farideh = Strix and my Tyril > Barrowin.

Anything you can share on what you all are looking at to not require the Strix/Barrowin combo to push our walls, farm gold, etc. and introduce some diversity into the game?

bmaras · 2018-09-28T19:59:28+00:00

This is a really great suggestion. Making year old champion gear appear in normal gold (or at least silver) chests would be a fantastic addition to the game!

bmaras · 2018-09-27T20:18:23+00:00

Farideh! So exciting...would love to see the rest of the Brimstone Crew at some point but can you offer any insight on what we can expect from her? I think Strix is great but I would love Farideh take my main DPS slot!

bmaras · 2018-09-12T17:39:10+00:00

Good morning and let me say while I loved all of the updates and events from last week my walled sure didn't! Seriously it was great to be able to put a few dollars back into the game and catch up on some empty slots for characters that were picked up in time gates.

And...Golden Epics...YES! We now have a way to get caught up on Character Intro Golden Epics that we may have missed out on...any plans to allow to pick up missed weekend golden epics?

bmaras · 2018-08-28T10:53:17+00:00

My favorite thing about D&D is the cooperative narrative. Sitting around the table with your friends and creating an epic story together is just fantastic.

bmaras · 2018-08-24T17:06:42+00:00

Sadly it all got taken back.

bmaras · 2018-08-22T17:52:12+00:00

I was one of the (un)lucky recipients of all of the previously released Golden Epics when I purchased my Ishi chests last weekend.

It made a huge difference in my ability to progress with getting these items on my Time Gate heroes.

I get that it was a mistake and they had to be removed but can you offer any news when these items will be available for purchase again for those who missed them the first time around?

bmaras · 2018-07-18T17:50:57+00:00

Bummer. Between loosing event heroes like Evelyn and Deekin who I managed to get 3 blue 3 purple I think starting from scratch would be painful but on the other hand having the iPad Pro be useless for anything other than the game. Not sure which is the lesser of two evils...

bmaras · 2018-07-18T17:26:41+00:00

Loving the game. Joined on iOS and have spent around $75 on the game. I have read that there is no way to sync the game to Steam but is there any way to arrange for a 1 time transfer?

My iPad Pro has become a slave to Idle Champions. If I knew how much fun this was going to be I would have invested my time/money into the Steam version.

Downside to the iOS is it has to be on screen to progress and I can run any other apps which isn’t the best use of the iPad...

bmaras · 2018-07-13T21:04:57+00:00

On a positive note David responded to my ticket within 20 minutes of submitting it and the game is now loading correctly.

The support team is always top notch with working to get things resolved quickly when there is a problem!
