also. it would be nice if old premium generals were offered every 6 (or 3 or 12) months. this still gives incentive to buy 100pc, but players who joined later can still get nice things.
have a nice day

please offer old premium generals every 6 months (or 3 or 12). This makes them scarce enough that people might buy gs (to avoid waiting months for the general), but players who joined later can still have nice things. have a nice day

Quest Boss Updates
Originally posted by sthreet300:
i’m going to add my voice to those yelling, screaming, hollering, and otherwise showing that they would like a change.
you see, i’ll compare this to clash, say something like everyone gets one deck to beat the new zone with, as they get new cards they can add them in but they cannot add in others from their collection or take old ones out of their deck. now say this is at the time when a decent torment deck is ownage, everyone who wants to win choses torment deck. now in this new zone no one can change deck’s after they realize it was built to counter torment theirfor making all their time a waste and it would make more sense to just clear their account.
simularly it is like people make good build → good build become’s the worse build → all those hours of farming stat points = nothing. (or leveling/whatever)
i can understand an increase in difficulty but please don’t screw mid-level players who started on the energy + attack style or anything, they can’t farm enough raids with their measly 200 or so stamina.
newer players don’t have to worry because ooh, the best style is this though it used to be that… well, just use this and hope it isn’t nerfed again.
also it seems older players don’t ahve to worry because they have proboly already beat all quest and now just need to spend a week farming for sp for defense.
this really hurts mid-level attack + energy people.
as a side note i use a blanced style because i don’t like following the best build just because i don’t like to.
that is largely correct. energy/attack is currently one of the worst builds for questing. They seem to have the hardest time getting more stats; however, that was never a good build to begin with.
1. attack helps raiding and pvp most, so it should be paired with stamina (stam was needed for pvp until recently, so a month-old player wouldn’t use this build with the intention of doing pvp)
2. a player who joined after pvp became stam-free had a very short window to dig himself into a high attack/energy build with 7 lsi
3. considering the above, i imagine the 200 stam was used to OS 1 or 2 raids at a time for armor to be used for questing, so this is a custom build for questing
4. it follows that the player wanted to quest, but def was the superior choice considering z10 and Vala have been around for a long time.
so this ill-conceived questing build was always going to get stuck, but they are now stuck in a deeper hole.
attack/energy might be in a poor situation, but they were always in a poor situation (they would have needed to add stam or defense sooner or later). eventually they were going to hit a wall that required def to overcome, and an intermediate player should have realized this. I find it hard to believe that a player using an attack/energy build wouldn’t realized how mismatched they were
i hope you don’t know anybody with such an unfortunate build.
You raise an important point: regardless of the developer’s intention, many players now feel stuck (even if they were going to get stuck anyway, it has now suddenly become apparent).
on another note, attack and energy are still very useful stats.
TL,DR: attack/energy build hasn’t gotten much worse since the patch, so I doubt the problem is as bad/widespread as anticipated
have a nice day

Raise your hand here if you don't like the boss update
I have a suggestion which may save everybody a lot of grief.
The only problems I see with toning down the difficulty of normal bosses are:
1. the story part of the game seems easy. I think nm val should be beatable with full cyan set, all the attack+def potions (brown through orange) and perhaps 500 (or some other amount of) defense. It should not require an excessive amount of stat farming, only whatever can be expected of a level x-casual player who focuses on questing over raiding.
2. What is the problem here? Normal quest bosses drop some nice items. If the coding permits a change in quest drops, DL essence could drop from a tremendously difficult hard Vala (instead of a moderately difficult normal vala). this way people can complete the game, and extra goodies can be had by the dedicated players.
3. Most legends can be gotten on normal difficulty. Frankly, I’m not even sure if the higher difficulties offer a better investment on energy spent—they should. For instance, SoCK2 stones can be retooled to a 50% expected drop rate on nightmare difficulty (which would have massively difficult bosses), 25% on legendary, 12.5 on hard, 6.25 on normal (so it is possible, but tedious, to collect legendary items on normal difficulty).
In summary: Attack should get high raid damage, defense should get legendaries and other bonuses from high quest difficulties, and casual players can still “complete” the game without enjoying the bonuses of high attack or defense. Hopefully, the casual players will have developed enough interest to explore other areas of the game at that time
have a nice day

something to note: ANY veteran player has an easier time getting stats than a new player. A level 50 player can raise defense faster than a level one.
High LSI players can farm raids or lower-level quests for defense
Pure energy builds might want to get more stamina, but they can still get levels and stats on easier quests
high perception players (if these exist) have the option of using their stockpiles of def potions
High attack players have the easiest time farming. They might be stalled on quests for a while, but most focus on stam anyway (they enjoy the best raid build, and attack shouldn’t outclass other stats completely)
New players have the toughest choice: Get to 7lsi while stuck on easy quests, or raise defense and take longer to reach 7lsi
Therefore, nobody should complain more than a new player (lv 1)
If quests are suddenly difficulty, it means you enjoy an advantage raiding instead
[i have 0.6 base attack and 3.7 base defense, so most people have better raid damage than i do]
Only pure energy (no stam, attack or defense) has a reason to complain, but they still have an EASIER time getting stats than a new player. It seems a bit unfair that these players stall (since they chose questing over raiding and farming) in questing, but their ability to get stats isn’t greatly hindered.
having said that, toning down normal difficulty only on the main quest might make the game more enjoyable and give them a sense of completion. Hard+ difficulties can remain very hard because things like WS2 legion and the gear needed for SoR trinkets are extras for dedicated players.
Scroll of Daharizon bosses (including normal simul) should remain extremely difficult [the bonus is too good to just give away]
have a nice day

all bosses can be done with less than 6k base defense. i don’t think this is unreasonable for final bosses. especially considering defense is otherwise completely inferior to attack.
there are def potions and gear with high defense as well. all free
and running from mini bosses costs very little for people late in the game
you can’t expect a pure attack build to be the best for both raiding and questing

can we organize pvp by pvp rank (within 5 ranks or so)? instead of grouping everyone into lv500-1000. this way the best can rise to the top, while positive rank inflation allows people to reach the good rewards.

if AP is ever reworked, i suggest making it so AP isn’t spent. under the current system for instance, the first king’s bounty could be altered to require a player to reach 10k, then 20k, then 30 (which is somewhat similar to spending 10k for each one). in this way, the people who spent AP won’t be screwed over if the system is reworked (they would still have all their AP). if the system changes without such a measure, people who have already completed achievements may not be able to get the new rewards. the 100ap bag could work in a similar fashion to keep people from getting too many PCs. have a nice day

if you meet ONE or more of these criteria, there is a good chance you will do well, even at this level:
1. level 30+
2. good record in new arena (gold or higher)
3. have ogres and another deck (strike, slow roll, fear, etc)
4. can be active at least 5 times a week
5. have war bonds
6. have a large card pool
if you fall short in one area, you can probably make up for it in another, so apply. you will probably do better than you expect

we’ll accept most people on a trial basis. we only ask that you contribute a positive score to our faction wars (this can usually be done with ogres, a strike deck, a few reward cards and activity). we will accept lower levels if you have a good card pool
you can ask questions in chatroom 11

does supplying in the tier4 raids always give 1% per item? if so, wouldn’t it be better to sell a green to buy 10 common items?
