Night Danger Moose posted:I will never get on people who want to leave Boiz for an actual serious guild. The goon guild is just a halfway house for those who are figuring out what they want with the game. Some move on to more serious business guilds, others forget about the game, and a few of us are lifers in it. I probably could've gone to a serious guild years ago but I never want the game to start feeling like a job. I'll never have concrete guild requirements other than be a member of this dead gay comedy forum, and more power to those who want more out of the game. Oh yeah I didn't mean to criticise, guild is awesome.  The game just sets the ceiling very high when it comes to the weekly guild rewards and how much activity they require. So there's room for "optimising" it.I've just left to join one of the Black Dragon guilds, a less hardcore one but with very active players. For example on Tower of Doom just now all 30 players are active (even me with just a handful of dooms since I had already used all the sigils heh). The extra guild tasks should help a lot with writs and more event rewards will be nice.

The current weekly event is Journey and there's a new troop, journey captain, who is a red version of Chalcedony, for dragons. Should be fairly hilarious. So that's 4 of these kinds of troops now I think: Chalcedony for brown/constructs; Seekra Darkwood for purple/elves; Todd Greenwood for green/wargare; and now Huntmaster Arborius for red/dragons. Also this week there's a bug in the journey event. Arborius, the new captain, gets double magic in this week's journey event only. But the way they coded it the doubling apparently can trigger also when some troops use their spell, notably Baby Dragon. So if you put a Baby Dragon in your team, and cast its spell, your Arborius will have his magic doubled again. They'll probably fix it soon, but some early players have been enjoying this bug.

 49 rooms cleared in this underspire and haven't found the first boss or even the door to the 2nd area. Looking at Mx.'s post above I'm sure the keystone is on another branch but I had no idea it could have paths this long lol

I read somewhere that that Underspire thing is a known bug and they'll hopefully fix it soon, maybe. Meanwhile the previous "summon/transform action doubles journey captain's magic" issue persisted to the end I think. This week there's a world event, and while there's no event captain, one of the troops you can use in the event is Kryshound. The bug of the week is that Kryshound's ability is "halve an enemy's armor and life", and apparently the way it's done is it does damage to armor and damage to life (true damage); but this damage is affected by the special event medal that gives more spell damage. With +160% spell damage Kryshound's ability reduces any troop's life to zero in one cast. Except apparently if they have spell armor or something, maybe you could even get around that by using more than one medal.

It's time for invasion this week (towers) and I saw a rumour somewhere that apparently the "double magic is doubled again when summon happens" bug is still around. Haven't tried it myself yet, but yes, potentially lol. So in detail: in the invasion event, use the new troop Iron Maiden, it gets double magic as intended; but if you successfully summon something then Iron Maiden's magic is doubled a second time. Also in Underspire news, there's a more serious bug where if you encounter a room with just 4 ogres in it, that will consume your torch and crash the game, so don't try to fight that one. Hopefully they'll fix this pronto since if this room is on the critical path then you can't complete the event. Enjoying the game as ever, but dang, these new things (Underspire and the new event captains which get double magic) are some buggy stuff

As a person coming back to this a bit after like 3+ years (!!), I am sure I am way out of date. I see there’s an underground area now, and pets, and medals, and more. I have all the normal kingdoms unlocked (I think) and at level 10. I have a lot of legendary (EDIT: and mythic) troops that were good at the time, like Kraken, Krystenax, Emperor Korvash, Draakulis, and a lot of other troops of that era. What’s the best way to get up to speed on the new concepts? (And maybe a refresher on the existing ones too 😬) Is there a good site that explains a lot of it? Are there certain things I should be targeting? What’s the overall progression strategy? crestfallen fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Oct 11, 2023 |

There's a beginner's guide somewhere from the Black Dragon guild conglomerate, if you search this thread I seem to remember you'll find it. It's a pdf with like 30 pages You probably want to unlock all the delves aka factions aka underground things asap, especially City of Thieves (for farming forever at level 20) and Deep Hive (for Queen Beetrix, a real good troop, once you've farmed some chaos shards). That's maybe the most important I guess. Anyway, yeah beginner's guide, has all the details heh

Question since I can’t seem to a risky find this answer. Advice is to farm City of Thieves delve and to “leave it at level 20”. What does this mean? Can you complete it at 20 and choose 20 again? Do you need to lose it or run away before finishing it at 20?

How casual is the group? Activity has been spotty for me, sometimes only a total of a couple quick check ins each day, a handful of battles. Is that okay?

We're 100% casual, just play whenever you like and have fun. Also, don't spend any gold on guild tasks until you're over level 1000. Use it to level your kingdoms and delve hoards so you can make bigger contributions later.

What was good the last time you played? Based on what seems new to you there's a lot. Looping journey troops, gem dragons, and wand of stars are all pretty good. This week's glory troop, Daughter of Time, has a bunch of potential for creating looping teams.

It looks like your team gets saved in each kingdom so you only have to set those up once. Central spire will let you use any team so just set up your normal PvP team there and it should be about the same? Loading new opponents does take extra long now though.
