Blossums thus has no more slots open due to outright inactivity. I suppose I could play more!

If you have all your guild guardians ascended to Mythic x4, they stop dropping from guild chests. At that point you should probably stop opening guild chests, banking your seals instead. Supposedly the current crop of Guild Wars prize troops will move to guild chests at some point, where they can drop just like guild guardians. If you have a stockpile of seals, you can get them to mythic that much faster. Since nobody in Boiz or Blossums is going to come close to reaching mythic based on Guild Wars prizes alone. I mention this because Friday is a new mythic troop, and late-game players are probably considering whether to burn through their key supply trying to get her.

My purple team right now is: Shadow Dragon + Boar Rider +++ Queen Mab +++ Goblin Shaman +++ With the Unicorn Banner. I won all 5 matches today - at least 2 of the opponents had 9100 or higher strength. I put a team together like Night Danger Moose, but Psion is not fully traited (1) and only level 19, the Kraken while fully traited is also only level 19, and Mist Stalker is level 20, but only has a single trait. I'm going play around with it for a while, but I'm partial to multiple turns and board control. What are y'all thinking for tomorrows green day? Gloom Leave +++ Goblin +++ Giant Spider +++ Goblin King +++ Woodland Banner I'm open to suggestions - I have none of troops that were seeded mythic and green (Draak, Famine, Ketras, Queen Aurora or Wulf) sadly.

Do you have Forest Guardian or Deathknight hero traited? I'm not sure how consistent it would be, but you could do something crazy like: Black Beast Fodder Giant Spider Dark Priestess I love the idea of Black Beast but I've never really used him much. Edit: Empowered green troops like Star Gazer, Siren, Spirit Fox, or Soothsayer could be good fodder too. This is probably a terrible idea for guild wars since you are virtually guaranteed to be down a troop, but it is fun for murdering dwarfs for the event.

Mixing it up for green - going with... Hobgoblin +++ Goblin +++ Boar Rider +++ Goblin King +++ Green Banner I'm 4/0 but each match has been an epoch-ally long. I'm loosing the last match against the loving Kraken - 40% seems like 99% - I don't believe I've ever seen one not devour my guy. edit: Lost; every goblin was devoured from the bottom up. porktree fucked around with this message at 15:35 on Aug 4, 2017 |

Yeah it's a small miracle when devour doesn't work for the enemy no matter how high the listed odds are. Also when the gently caress are they getting around to fixing the anti streak thing I hate playing on mobile.

How do people deal with Psion*** Famine*** Death*** Famine*** I wound up using Khorvash*** Green Seer*** Giant Spider*** Draakulis* But that sacrifices 150 points for not using four blue troops. On the bright side, repeated Seer/Spider looping with Khorvash meant I never had to worry about any of those irritating third traits.

I lost one with my normal team, then I went: Dwarven Gate Dwarven Gate Krystenax Abyssinia Tedious, but the 2 gates soak up the Famine, and then you keep replacing them with summons. You basically kill them after a thousand Krystenax casts. If they kill Krystenax, you have to use Infernal King summon. This team would be terrible against everything else, and I'm convinced there's a better way out there.

For tough teams on blue days I use: Silvermaiden Khorvash Apothecary Druid I have no clue how the new scoring system works. Apparently you can game it by endlessly matching gems if you want to spend 30 minutes every match, but gently caress that.

Apparently you can game it by endlessly matching gems if you want to spend 30 minutes every match, but gently caress that. These two posts are related, so I'll deal with them at once. When the new Guild Wars scoring system came out, the main dev made a huge post explaining what the various components were and how they contributed to your score. Two of them, mana ratio and damage ratio, were explained in this way: pre:Bonus = MAX(4, mine/opponent's) People assumed this was a typo, and the code used MIN in reality. After all, if the code had used MAX, there was essentially no upper limit to the amount of points you could gain from having a supremely good game where the AI did one damage and only got three mana. Then people started reporting single-match scores of 1900 points. Or 2300. Or over 3000. And everyone realized that the devs actually did use MAX in the game's code. So for about ten hours (until Sirrian woke up, shat himself, and fixed the server-side code), the game allowed much higher scores than were supposed to be possible. (Edit: the OP of the scoring thread was ninja-edited to use MIN right as the scores started being reasonable. Score one for "we're keeping the exact formula a secret"!) I played my first five Guild Wars matches pre-fix, earning 2000 points for one and 1500 for the other 4. Since that brouhaha, 1400 points is a good battle and 1497 is the theoretical maximum. I've hit that 1400 point target each day but today (only 6900 because I gave up and used Green Seer), so the fact that you're gaining on me means you're doing really damned well at this. ----- As far as I know right now, here's the breakdown for how points are awarded. There has been no official confirmation of any of this, so take it with a grain of salt. 300 points base 600 points (200%) color bonus 90 points (30%) speed bonus: 3 pts/action fewer than 30 taken. Right now this includes literally any interaction with the game, so taking match-4's to avoid handing them over to the AI harms your score (  )60 points (20%) surviving troops 450 points (150%) damage and mana ratios, where they now top out at 4x in each category as they ought. I'm guessing this is an even split at 75% each, but I haven't seen a good example to confirm this yet. Grundulum fucked around with this message at 19:36 on Aug 5, 2017 |

You've missed most of the loot, but theoretically your current guild already had its lootsplosion for the week. We should hit 20k seals before Sunday if you and Milward are of average activity, so save your seals till then. Edit: oh, and if we win a GW battle I'll be curious to know if you get the 50-seal bonus also.
