I just realised that only 56 people have the first swarm badge, as opposed to the second, with 181. Do people not realise you can submit a badge report?
OMG I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. GET EQUIPMENT TENACITY AS SOON AS YOU CAN! IT LETS YOU USE EQUIPMENT YOU DON'T HAVE STATS FOR AT A SLIGHT DECREASE IN THE STATS OF THE ITEM. The stats don't matter, because you can now level up items you wouldn't be able to previously, and get new equipment slots faster.
I don't know why people complain so much. The tutorial is comprehensive and tries its best not to overwhelm you, and if something doesn't make sense, you likely aren't supposed to interact with it yet. The problem is the badges, and always will be. It takes a week just to get some of the easiest "easy" badges.
@bs48906 Are you sure its the title quest? Do you have more than three other general/title quests accepted? There are quest slots, and if they're full, new quests can't be accepted.
@hulkster1182 The cave event prevents your heroes from replenishing HP at the end of the fights, so if a hero dies, they can't be used in that event until it refreshes.
The fact that Kongregate decide the best way to re-implement badges was to put 60 of them on two games, with some of them requiring literal years of playtime, is not a good sign for how this bitverse thing is going.
