Depends posted:I keep going up against teams with a higher magic Crescendo in the arena. Them doing 8 or 9 true damage to my low leveled guys sucks and can 1 or 2 shot most of my team. Arena is a shitshow right now, even if you have one of those weapons, because just a little bad luck and you get wiped out. Also, matchmaking there is horrible, the last time I tried, it was consistently matching me against guys 2-400 levels above me.

Some Sperglord on the Forums posted:The 50 gem fee for switching class needs to be removed. I have spent over 300 gems so far switching from class to class. There are two main reasons for this: This guy is hilarious. There are 7 classes. That's 1750 fights to max them all out. You also get a free class-switch when you unlock a class. So this guy has switched classes like 13 times? I haven't finished one class and it's been 6 days. Is this kid playing this as a job?

Yeah I've noticed this too. I haven't had a team to try the new scythe myself but I've seen enemies with it at level 5 with similar levels to enemies with it at level 10. And we're not talking about max kingdom level whales, these are people in the 400 range. My guess is that somehow there's a way to get your class level bonus on your weapon to carry over to Arena.

That's exactly what it is. The class +magic with a weapon is carrying over. +5 magic from having a class at level 20 is enough to pretty much double the weapon damage in arena. I'm staying out until the next patch fixes it. It isn't fun when winning comes down to which hero casts twice first, yours or the AI.

I got curious and decided to start recording the number of kingdoms that send tribute every time I collect gold. My memory tells me that 0- and 1-kingdom tributes tend to cluster, but that could just be recall bias. (Given my current kingdom levels and power tiers, I should be averaging 2.7 kingdoms each time I check for tribute. I should have a 5% chance of 0 kingdoms and a 17% chance of 1. I also have a 3.2x10-21 chance of a 22-kingdom tribute.  )At 30 checks, I am correct that below-expectation results cluster. Because 20 out of my 30 checks have been below expectation. 6 of the 30 have been 0 tributes.  I think the RNG knows I am looking and is telling me to gently caress off with my test.

I think the default chance for a kingdom tribute is something tiny like 1%.

Event chests are more expensive and I don't think they have any better chance of getting a legendary.

Because its used to level kingdoms and complete guild tasks, its way more valuable than souls or exp. Plus, its pretty easy to make a soul farming team.

Event chests are a bad value for beginners, yeah. Get the special event troop with glory. Event chests are more for whales and vets trying to round out their collection. The keys only pull troops from the kingdom of that week's event so they can be useful for trying to get multiple copies of specific uncommon or ultra-rare troops to ascend.

The keys only pull troops from the kingdom of that week's event so they can be useful for trying to get multiple copies of specific uncommon or ultra-rare troops to ascend. Your first three sentences are correct. Event chests don't work quite like you described, though. Event chests act like gem chests in that they can give only ultra-rare or higher troops, and they have the same drop rates at each rarity tier. Epics and legendaries are guaranteed to come from the event kingdom; the specific troop you would receive is shown on the screen. Ultra-rares are merely heavily biased. You can still pull Treants this week, but you'll get more Twisted Heroes by far. Not sure how Arcane traitstones work, but you definitely can get any of the runic traitstones out of event keys. (gently caress, is that ever irritating.)

Ah I thought I read on the GoW forum that all pulls were from the event kingdom. That is even worse value then. I've never bought event keys specifically, just used a few that came in glory bundles or in the new defense rewards. I was super lucky earlier this week and pulled Infernal King with an event key from 60 defense wins.

I meant to open one glory chest with a key and accidentally bought 10. I was 13 away from getting the last dragon to ascend it to legendary. Now I need to get 213 glory before the event ends.

Treasure maps. You'll need to do a bunch of them (probably 10-12), but it's a lot faster than doing 72 invasions.

seravid posted:So how do you procure arcane stones? Besides cash money, I mean. If you want a particular arcane stone, there are three things that increase your chances of getting it: 1. Find the kingdom whose banner matches the color(s) you're interested in and make it your home kingdom. Any defenses you win will pick from those colors, and the combo is the only arcane you'll win. So, for example, the Broken Spire banner is blue/brown, so if you win a defense there, there's a chance you'll get a blue/brown arcane. 2. Complete quests/challenges in that kingdom. You get the same 80% chance of a stone with a quest or challenge fight, and it will also match colors with the kingdom. You can keep re-doing challenges even if you've previously completed all levels. 3. Keep an eye on the weekly glory rewards. Edit: from reading the official forums, it sounds like arcanes have about a 2% drop rate. Davethulhu fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Mar 27, 2016 |

I'm just saying if you sit and power through a bunch of battles and maps you will get some eventually. Whether or not it's a color you can use is another thing. I'm only just now getting to the point where I could probably trait up any of my units fully.

I must be doing something wrong, then. How many battles do you have on the counter? I'm up to 600+ and I can't buy any of the second traits for my main team (they all have the first one) : 1/10 Beast 2/8 Swamp 0/10 Skull 0/8 Plains (all Arcane stones) I haven't played a map in a long time, though...

I have identified your problem. You're using a team composed entirely of epic/legendary troops. They're hella more expensive to trait up than lower-tier troops. I suspect grrarg is the most active goon player, and it was a big deal when he finally traited up one legendary troop. You've got four on your team.

I did buy the purple pack though which I think has 36 stones? So you can deduct that but my main team is traited (except Goblin King because screw his traits) and most of my secondary team is traited (just need one more black/yellow to finish Gob Chomper). I also have 6 Celestial and never picked more than one glory pack. I'm at almost 700 PVP battles but I mostly do Arena to chug along on ascending my PVP teams.

The best way to get Arcanes now is buying the weekly event troop bundles with Glory. If the troop is epic, the bundle has that troop's Arcane stone. If it is ultra-rare, it has that kindom's Arcane. It takes 16 Arcanes to fully trait a legendary. Realistically, the only way to get them is if they pop up in a cash or glory bundle. I had Ketar as my home kingdom for months trying to get the traits for Abhorath and only got 11/16. Finally finished it this week by spending all my Glory on Venbarak bundles for the Arcane Spirit stones. Stockpile Glory and keep an eye out for the color you need in the weekly event.

Now's the time to fully trait Bone Dragon, Keeper of Souls, or Kerberos if you are sitting on enough glory. The bad news is that the bundle will probably cost 500+ glory each since Bunni'nog is a legendary. I kinda wish they would go back to new troops every other week, alternating between weapons and troops. I never have enough glory now.

Great! Except I'm actually not interested in KoS' second (+4 life for every kill) or third traits (summon a Wight). He's in third place on my team so he faces little danger and a Wight is of no use to me - and most of the time there wouldn't be any room for him anyway. I'll save my 2k glory for Gloom Leaf and Green Seer; now those have some drat good second traits (+2 life for every 4 or 5 match and +2 random skills for every ally).

Son of a bitch. I was excited to use all the Arcane Deep Stones I have from keeping Khaziel as my home kingdom, and they changed Bunni'Nog from brown to brown/purple. E: oh well. It will still be my first mythic because I am sitting on a pile of glory.

The Silent One is one of the few legendary troops I am still missing, and it's in event chests this week. Should I be spending gems on 10-packs of event keys, or am I better off continuing to buy 50-packs of gem chests? The absolute number of keys is pretty low -- 450 gems is only 30 event keys compared to 50 gem keys -- but any legendary I got would be either a celestial traitstone or TSO.
