I’m tempted to level up Soul Slinger, but I’m concerned that I should keep all my points spent on Eldar Dwarf. Was hoping to at least buy Astral Child some point as well.

Is there some way to level up heroes that I am missing? My account is now 52 but my highest hero is like 46. I've been saving exp potions for when I inevitably upgrade my angel, but I do have 7 training slots going full time and consistently use all stamina.

Elder Dwarf can hold his own better at 2*. Soul Slinger becomes a total skillstick once he gets to 3*, whereas Elder Dwarf just gets tankier.

Anyone ranked in top 500-1000 and/or 1000-1500 in arena? Trying to determine reward breakpoints. Top 5000, is 100, top 2000 is 150 (happy surprise). I don't think I should dip in to the top 1000 just yet but I'm curious as to the rewards.

[e] Do the Angel Trial fights get harder relative to your level and/or br or are the strength of the fights static?

They get harder, I've gotten wiped out at 38 two days in a row now whenever I run into pure "gently caress YOU AND DIE" teams comprised of beefy frontliners and DoT assfuckers (Amazon Hunter and Grimbow, I'm looking at you :argh: ).

Incidentally I just got my amazon hunter to purple :v:

#200-500 is 250, and #500-1,000 is 200. I usually hang out in the high 400 range so I can just do five squash matches per day for an easy 10 arena points, the devotion, and the event if there is one.

The angel trial enemies scale with your level. I don't know if it's average level like in HC, or you league level, or BR. I did notice the easy match remains below your team's BR until floor 40 or so. I usually skip 25 floors (getting the hard difficulty rewards), then the next five fights (27, 29, 31, 33, and 34) I do on medium. After that, all easy fights 3*ed will keep me in the top 100 for the 400 point reward, for a total of 1,550/day.

I have no idea how wharf loot gathering goes, but I figure plundering 6 scrubs a day and keeping 3 hour mines up during the day with a 12 at night is a good way to get as many loot points as I can

Raid "TeamElven" as often as you can because they're catching up to us, and I assume loot stolen from them counts against their total.

It's a plan if you don't pull your hair out with the massive disconnections you have in the wharf.

Interesting, so the rewards increase with your level as well then. I have been doing up to 34 on hard, and get ranked just barely in the top 100.

You get 1,150 points out of just the chests if you get all the way to 50. So go as high as you can, even if it means you have to cut down to easy, then the next day you get the star and point rewards for hard on all the levels you skip. It makes it easier and easier to get to 50 because you can buy the best upgrades and don't have to buy rage/health. More stars and +s on your heroes also help because I'm pretty sure it just goes by level or league level, not BR.

This. So frustrating! The amount of times I've tried to loot somebody, and then get a dc is mind boggling. Most times I just think gently caress it, and forget about it.

If they don't fix the connectivity issues by the end of my current daily card thing, I'm done.

I literally can't do poo poo in game right now. Oh well, 3 months for $65 spent is better than I get out of most AAA $60 games.

I haven't had any connectivity issues since they gave out a bunch of free poo poo for connectivity issues about a week ago. Every now and then it gets hung up on something in wharf but that's pretty rare.

Same here. It's frustrating and I have other games to occupy my time. It was fun while it lasted. That's assuming they don't fix the issues. I have 12 days More on my daily gems.

I've had light issues sometimes regarding the wharf but rarely if ever anything else. The most frustrating part of the game for me is getting to the last fight in the angel trial and it's a "gently caress you" full damage squad with 3+ DoT and a Djinni.

Not only are the disconnects rampant but this morning I saw that we only got the last place boss, and threw a few attempts at it. Now I come back to grab the reward chests and we're on the 2nd-3rd place boss instead? :confused:

Noticed that as well, but it still showed my damage on the 2nd place boss

Well they sent out 400 gems and a message that it's "fixed," which I presume means the wharf is back to being fucky only half the time and the other disconnects will be back to their regular amount

I'm kinda done, between the disconnects and the realization I'm spending about two hours a day on this when I could be doing more productive things, ehh...

I got over 2 months for my money. No regrets. I'm gonna still log in to dump my stam on elites and collect my freebie diamonds so I can throw up superfeasts every so often for you guys.

e: Any feasts I put down will be at 2100 server. I'll post before I do. There will be one tonight if I don't forget.

I am going to keep going strong for the most part, the only thing I half rear end now is the wharf. I was doing 3 hour mines on the dot but that's just too tiring to keep up anymore. Also the wharf connections are killing me, I've lost a few plunders due to just not being able connect in those 10 minutes. Does anyone have a problem with opening up to the public if we keep losing people? I feel like kicking after 5 days offline is reasonable.
