How long should i sit in this arena in order to get the 7 chests

 

That "treasure chests" minigame is pure gambling. It should have never made its way to the game in its current shape. We already have workbench that shouldn't be that luck based... and now we have another such thing... this time it's practically only for andermants and you have chance to get nothing. Great deal, but in the test server I was constantly hitting the "wrong" chest among like first 3 chests I clicked out of... Idk, 32? 40? So yeah, good chances for honest players. As long as there's a way to knowing which chest is right and which wrong before clicking, it's gonna be exploited. As long as there's not, most people will get nothing from it... and many probably won't even try.

In the earliest public test version it was 2 minutes. Doubt it is much longer, but I bet that arena is still bugged as heck.

 

We have to remove jesters bcs it includes gambling in game for kids...few months later yay here you go play loto with chests

 

Bugfixes

• Costumes
  • An issue where the Icy Headless Horseman costume used the same icon as the Empowered Headless Horseman costume has been fixed
• Wisdom Talents
  • An issue where the “lifetime thief” talent was only triggered once when several enemies were defeated at the same time has been fixed
• Collector’s Bag
  • An issue that could cause stuttering of the animation in the preview of the collector’s bag has been fixed

There are more bugs that we have reported last year, but dont worry, we can't live without "An issue where the Icy Headless Horseman costume used the same icon as the Empowered Headless Horseman costume has been fixed" (so usefull). Keep working as much as you are doing rigth now!

 

well isn't everything using a random number generator technically gambling? You use resources (could even be just your time) to hope you get a desired result depending on your "luck" (which basically doesnt exist, it's just that we can't control everything so we brush it of as bad luck or good luck)


Ps: gambling doesn't have to involve money, definition from Cambridge English dictionary.

 

Ye but you get the point

 

Sometimes it's being excused by saying that you always get something back, whereas gambling is when you lose money or other resources and don't get anything for it. ...Who cares that the thing you get is garbage?

Jesters were actually fine compared to the work bench. At the work bench you get nothing 99.99% of the time because you revert the results- you actually have to revert it or else you lose everything. So you get not even garbage but pure 0 for your gold or andermant.
But Jesters always gave you stuff for your gold or andermant. Even their garbage prizes were actually useful.

 

to long waiting maintenance

 

Good job doing Maintenance right at the end of the Dragan Event. Very well thought out In My Opinion by bugpoint again.
Some of us don't play or live our lives around your game.
We play for 30 minutes to do daily between real life.
So thank you yet again bugpoint.

 

Actually...

 

I need to track monster radar

Colored-powder drop is way too un-even. 89 reds vs 11 green.

Can convert them on bench if you got dye........like i ever picked that up in the past



Events are joke after joke lately


Extra joke: Soon you kill 1 monster, team outside map cant enter your map anymore.

 

Why the pigs on Kalodoro map drop loot of "Kingihlls sewers" event? I'v got "Sewer key" and "Parasite" from them. Is this an error or a complete nonsence? I would expect them to drop summer festival related loot.

 

Wait, there are pigs? Haven't found any, despite searching.

 

Now all the events are the same, boring and complicated, there is no fun but only frustration. I started this out of curiosity but I have already noticed the uselessness of farming for hours without any reward. The daily 20 pin quest is blocked, because the mini boss vik is not found and many players have been blocked.
They collect only 2 colors for the others you have to buy the colors that magically ... poof, have disappeared from the boxes.
It has been playing badly since before the dragan event: lag, blocking of skills and abilities, long loading of maps etc ect.
Continue to make fun of users by offering them a broken game with insignificant events created only to waste time and carry on a shameful game

 

You can change Kip the Perky to Mak the Clumsy or Vos the Reckless or Arges the Stupendous, though I've seen only Vos so far. Same applies (you can chose the sentinel you got on the map) for the 3rd quest for 50 insignia of helpfulness.

Regarding the powders, green and purple seems to have poorer drop rate than yellow and red, but sooner or later they reach 100 as well.

 

With much regret I must say that this time the event, even if I don't like it, was developed with a little brain.

Summer Festival Preparation: we can finish event buying nothing only with 5 run/day completing daily and color quest.
The color's drop is a bit low, especially for green and purple. I' got 160 red/yellow and only 120 purple and 80 green.
I drop 1 ticket every 2-3 Q so it's OK for this event.
Good at 90%....I'll change only color drop %

Summer Solstice Festival: I don't like minigames and I will probably play only Arena of Endurance.
Arena of Endurance: I think every class can survive for 60 sec here.
Meanie Rumble: as DK I think it's very difficult to kill all monsters...probably a ranged class can do it.
The Underground Chamber: to be avoided like the plague. In test server on 20 runs I got empty chest on 1st click at 80%.
The Fishing Game: boring....rewards are low and it takes too much time.
I'll change minigames, especially Underground Chamber, in something like a random puzzle to solve.

In general I like that are no item rewards in progress bar but some coin. You can collect them and choose what you want to buy (items, gems, mount, pet and so on)

It can be a good idea if all future events change in this way so you can collect coins (1 kind for every event, not 1 for each event) then you can choose what to buy

I also appreciated the pigs' return (10) also if they give me 2 "sewer keys"

 

this is not a fun festival but a funeral! just horror, no joy!

 

+ only 5 runs a day and few returns of powder quest so does not take whole day to fulfill the progress bars(this ofc applies only to those who can log in everyday)
- would like to have some means to get some "extra" coins
