So how's Gem Boiz doing with tasks and seals? Blossums is at 8/12 for all but one at 9/12. Seals around 20k.

Bout the same I think. Seals are a little over 20k.

Are you taking about Stacker? I just sent him an invite to check and he's in a guild.

I'm Stacker, I joined a pubbie guild since I didn't know how long it would be till a spot opened up. I've left it now so if you could send me another invite that would be awesome.

Does the game take ridiculously long to load for anyone else? Even after all the splash screen loading, it sits at the world map for at least 30 seconds with the spinner going before I can actually do anything. Galaxy S6.

Sorry man. Latina Pride already grabbed the one spot. Jump back in a pubbie guild for now and I'll keep you in mind when we have another opening.

Yeah, the game is pretty bloated for sure. I have whatever that Samsung is is T-Mobile gives away as a freebie and it's a bit faster than what you described. Even on a modern PC with an SSD the game still takes way too long for what it is. And don't get me started on the auto-pause crap whenever you switch to another window. Terrible design. And yet...Puzzle Quest :(

I'm still going through the long process of maxing cities, but once I'm through with that I'll start donating way more to Gem Boiz. I still threw in around 50k this week, but I think I could do 200-300 if I didn't need stats.

Progress towards your next star of kingdom power. On iOS, at least, it's slightly bugged and doesn't update until you restart the app.

I'm grinding to trait out my Gorgotha and then I'll be part of the problem. Still need to trait out Mab though, so that team is purely Explore/Story for now.

The Tacet fellow on youtube is pretty good. He already posted a few Guardian teams and, more importantly, mentioned that the first Valkyrie alternative (named Dragon Soul) will be available next week, so better save up those event keys.

Dragon Soul is in gem chests this week (pulled one with one of my guild task keys :toot:). Presumably it's also in glory/VIP chests also.

Did they nerf Dragon Soul? I remember checking out the new troops on Monday, and his third trait was much more powerful. Something like that when it died there was a much higher chance of resurrection, but it would take over another dragon on your team.

Dragon Soul's third trait was bugged and could reportedly crash the game, so the devs temporarily replaced it with Infernal King's third trait. It should go back to the way it was when they've fixed the problem.

I guess I'm dense-- what are the seals about?

When you cash in 1500 seals in a single week you get to open the guild chest, which is powered up by how much everyone in the guild has contributed that week?

Yes pretty much this. You want to wait to cash in the seals though till the guild has hit the 20k chest. Also you can stock pile seals so you don't have to spend all 1500 each week.

Jan 17, 2011
are people actually hitting 1500 each week?

I felt like I played a lot last week and only got to 800 or 900. So for me the rollover is the opposite-- I'd theoretically only want to cash in every other week.

And ideally I guess everyone would cash in 1499 seals, to get the guild chest up, then cash in that last one on sunday morning while at church.

MarcusSA
Sep 23, 2007

Yeah I hit 1500 pretty easily. Also the seals accumulate as you collect them so you don't have to cash them in to upgrade the chest.

Grundulum
Feb 28, 2006
Yeah, you should be collecting your seals regularly. They only get added to the guild's total when you collect, so if everyone waits until the last minute to collect all 1500 seals the guild chests will be worthless the other 6.9 days of the week.

You accumulate seals just like any other currency, and choose to spend them whenever. Gem Blossums actually hit 20,000 seals last week, so waiting till the 6th day is a good idea to maximize your chance at rare stuff.

Boiz hit 20k as well. I only gathered about 500. 1500 is a generous cap, that only very dedicated poop-sockers will hit.

Grundulum
Feb 28, 2006
You should see the official forums. Plenty of people complaining that their guild hit the 15.6 million gold limit, and the 40,000 seal limit, on the first day. What reason to play after that? :(

The 1500 number is just a weekly earning limit, not a currency maximum.

The guild's total is just a virtual representation that goes up as you claim seals at a 1:1 ratio.

There is no benefit in waiting to claim seals, in fact it harms other guild members since the chest rewards might not hit a breakpoint.

You can also spend seals at any point like any other currency chest.




Something that I've been wondering: does ascending a troop affect their home kingdom's star progress at all, positively or negatively? Also, why is there no mass ascend button? Such a tedious process for multiple troops.

Not directly but it does raise the level cap for the troop and each level on a troop increases the point value of the home Kingdom so.

The detailed breakdown in the kingdom tab has a score tabulation for "ascensions" so it seems like it might affect your kingdom level calculation.

The Last Active tracker changed with the guild update. If you sort by activity in the main Roster list, it actually shows the time of the last login. If you click that player's profile it still tells you by last battle like it used to elsewhere.

For example we have someone in Gem Boiz with last active at 3 days, but last battle at 20.

If you're playing right now, try going to the shop, hitting Redeem Code, and entering WEREWOLVES (all caps). It's good for three of each minor traitstone, a gem key, and some souls and gold. I saw it in the general chat a few minutes ago, but I don't know how long these codes last.

Didn't work for me it says it has been redeemed.
