How to collect phoenix flames for dolls? 60k progress doesn't have it. You can't get it anywhere. I need 40 x 9 dolls. 360 pieces. How to get it ?

 

Worst event ever.
Grind 300 runs in 6days is just too much. Not to mention the lack of Rfs. What a shame for dev team.

 

Lair of combat is bugged, no sentinels spawns if you activate altar. Altar still spawns neat amphoras but sometimes it does not spawn anything. Lair of combat is a big factor in this event because many players are farming Dragan. Please fix as soon as possible.

 

sometimes bosses dont drop anything after kill...no progress no equipment...blank blank...bugged

 

Devs, please read this.

The event is good, but the execution could be much better. The only real PROS I can say about this edition of DTU is that the wisdom drop is insane, and if you go with groups the group level gain is very good as well.
Here are my list of CONS:

#1-

ACHIEVEMENT-DEPENDANT PROGRESSION BARS ARE STUPID

As a player with a relatively new character, I found it very player-limiting and pointless to have my progress bar limited to such a low amount. The 15k progress I could finish is already over, and my rewards are only a fraction of what others with the bigger progression bars can achieve.
My main goal from this event was to get the arachna pet, since that is an important addition to any dps character. After the ~70 runs I did on mod2 or inf3, I have not dropped the body for the pet. I know that this amount of runs is not a lot and I would be willingto do more to get the pet, but... My event progress is already finished. So now I will have to do 50+ or who knows how many useless runs for the arachna body becouse I cannot get any event progression done anymore.... Why? Why would anyone think that this is a good idea? You're limiting your own players from more event playtime!!

#2-

PET PARTS ARE TOO RARE TO DROP AND THEY COST TOO MUCH TO CRAFT

The amount of resources for a single pet (out of the gawddamn 10 avalible) takes about 180 runs(newborn hearth droprate from 1key chests is ~1/3) on mod2 while also keeping you from opening the 10key chests so you're sacrificing potentially toushands of drakens - becouse to get the hearths you will need to open onyl the 1key chests. Not to mention the limited amount of fire you get from the progress bar.
And if this wasn't already sad enough, you guys made the pet bodies so rare that you can be happy if you drop the body of the single pet you wanted to complete in the 180 runs you go just to be able to craft it. In my case, getting the arachna pet body is almost hopeless as out of 9 runs I'm lucky if in 3 runs I have an arachna statue (since ofc to get a magotina or a karabossa statue is much more common) and the body droprate is insanely low...
And don't even get me going of how greedy that 6k andermant random body crate is... like what the actual f... You want me to pay 6k andermants (~1 full week of nonstop farming Or ofc pay) to get a RANDOM pet body OUT OF THE EXISTING 10? If I could just buy the body I wanted for 6k anders I'd happily walk out of the shop with my arachna doll, but for a 10% chance? Really?

REALM FRAGMENTS ARE SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH

Read what I wrote a bit above this again. Now hear this: I'm sure that if I could do as many runs as I wanted that I could be able to get the pet I want in the 6 days anyways, but this is not the case becouse of lack of RF.
The realm fragments drop is catastrophic. Anyone that didn't have at least 2k realm fragments stocked before the event will now suffer. The amount of time you have to put in to get enough realm fragments is simply uncomprehending...

Again, the event is good, but the execution could be much better. This version of DTU causes more headaches for me than it caused fun.
Thank you if you read this, I hope you consider helping us somehow.

 

How to get Flame of Phoenix in this edition of the event?
It is not listed as a reward in maps, it is not in my progress bars (I have those with 60k points needed). Somehow, I managed to get 2 of them but no idea where. Does anyone know how and where to get it?

 

If this is what the event will look like, you'll never get the phoenix flames. Developers have forgotten about returning players who have 60k progress. You can't get these flames from progress now. You can't get from the chests for 1 or 10 keys. You can't get it from the bosses. Nobody will buy 40 flames for 7200 draken. This is a bug.

 

a litle bit of calculation
60k progress in 7 days means do the cheap way,

mode excruaciating : ( 4x18 + 78 + 36 = 186) / round means 325 rounds to finish

you need +- 3234 realm fragments but also 325 secret lair offerings

is that not a little too much for 1 event ?

And thinking about you need alot of realm fragments also for the next event stellar gold

 

Event has several errors inside the lairs, goblins disappear in the same instant that they are summoned, guardians who do not appear ... need urgent correction and still lost clovers rewarded.

 

@Jawoben and @meurerplay

There is a very simple workaround to the bug in the secret lair, call first the ancient brazier then the boss.

@dforko and @kapiszon123pl

I did one test run on Friday on inf3 and if I remember correct bosses dropped flames in the circus.

 

Yeah, I just found out it in one patchnote: https://board-en.drakensang.com/threads/release-230-patchnotes.79958/
Anyway, I find it funny that such an important info is hidden somewhere between not needed ones. Wasn't it so in old days that every event had it tutorial on forum?

 

They are dropping as I had one drop from each of the bosses in one entry to circus.

 

too little time to make much progress, please increase the days of the event to 2 weeks, as before

 

Yeah, how have though that forcing players to make 60k progress in 7 days is a good idea? The managers who think that exploiting the players and the devs.

Another boring and bad event.

 

It is hard to see the gem drops when playing Excruciating and not picking up green and blue items. This event is a good example why we need the option to filter what drops we see (in the settings we need to have the option to filter out green, blue items and so on).
Also, the Feather of a Gryphon is green, easy to miss when together with lots of other greens we don't pick up.

 

Event is not bad but it would be much more pleasant with longer time or less points needed on progress bars
Also, I absolutely don’t get it why flame of Phoenix drops only from inferno difficulties. I am not having so many realms I see it unfair as lower levels get enough of it from progress bars to complete 2 dolls and I get none....

 

EDIT Goblins and bosses disappear. Great job. Bunch of amateurs. Quitting the game.

 

General release feedback

~ Your overall impression - good, ok or disappointing? I would say ok.

~ What, specifically, lead you to that view? It's an event that can be completed by anyone, in terms of difficulty.

~ What aspects of the release did you particularly like, and why? I found interesting the progress bars adapted to each player (lv+obj).

~ What aspects of the release were you unimpressed with, and why? The grind factor.

~ What could have been done better, and how? I think it would be fair to add portal boss map, like Bloodmage, Bearach, Arachna ecc.. and also removing the boss animation.

Event feedback

~ Which maps did you particularly like, and why? I like a lot Yolotl and Tegan, the boss design is amazing to me.

~ Which maps were you unimpressed with, and why? Well, Teleportarium is kind of boring...

~ What was your view of the difficulty of the event? Too fast/easy? To hard/slow? Or about right? I would say about right...

~ Did you find the event interesting, or was it a bit of a grind? It was "a bit of a grind".

~ What, specifically, could be done to improve it? Good question...

~ What was your view of the rewards? New and interesting? Same old, same old? Ok, but a bit poor for the time/effort involved? Interesting indeed but in my opinion, for a 60k total progress that requires a lot of resources and time, I think there should be some more rewards.

~ What rewards would you have preferred (no Lamborghini's or Ferrari's, sorry).? It would be awesome increasing the number of drakens and have some stocks of RF.

 

I got my first doll body at 2000 progress from finishing the event, and 5 runs later my first feather, so i had to grind arter i finished the event to make a doll.
