Official Mean Machine / Angry Sprockets Guild Chat (All Friends Welcome)

Found something interesting, and a bit alarming.

If you’re attempting to increase the Stars on a city that already has 13 troops officially, and you’ve already put a large number of traits of that kingdom’s troops-- for example, 28 traits completed-- then any increase by soul-levelling up ONE maxxed troop will give only TWO points of kingdom progress.

Two points! That couldn’t be right…

Then I realized the problem’s probably because I don’t actually own the 13th troop. To put a further 6 or 7 Stars on levelled cities, I think you’d have to obtain the kingdom mythics like Pharos-Ra, or the new Jotnar Stormshield.

And yes that does mean there’s a need for DRAAKULIS too :scream_cat: :heart_eyes:

That’s correct.

After 10 troops, each additional troop is worth 10 points instead of 50.
After 30 traits, each additional trait is worth 10 points instead of 25.
After 200 levels, each additional level is worth 2 points instead of 10.

Thank you @Lyya. That info is really handy to know.

Must spend those souls wisely, especially when I’m running out :ghost:

Yup I was like :scream: when I first found out.

@KyneTarse mentioned wanting to keep track of what we’ve been doing in Legendary tasks. I will post the table of results next.

January 4th was the last time we could see who had completed a Legendary Task by name. I must add it’s much easier to track (and record!) the different Tasks when they’re listed by name rather than anonymously, as is the case right now.

Notes:

If you see any duplication of entries using different dates, please let me know.

The dates are extracted from the date stamps on the screenshots taken, so in some cases it’s only an approximate date.

Here are the results of MM’s last 40 Legendary Tasks completed since Christmas.

@Sirrian stated that a Legendary task pulls once each from 3 different payout Tables (starting with the rarest Table first, and not picking duplicates). There’s a hidden weighting involved so obviously the first pull isn’t a completely random pick from Table 3.

There are some apparent anomalies in our payout list compared to what has been reported by @Aelthwyn @einsteinle @turintuor.

For the **Table 2 pull, we consistently get “2 Event Keys” instead of 3 Event Keys on PC/Mobile. From *Table 1, we also consistently get “100 Glory” instead of the presumed 200 Glory payout.
.
EDIT: Added additional tasks to the list.
Reorganized listings to more clearly read Column P:T1 for pulls from Table 1, column P:T2 for known pulls from Table 2, etc.

Great work @Theicla!

The 100 glories are correct : it is 100 for table 1, 300 for table 2, 500 for table 3.
The 2 event keys for table 2 is weird. We got 3 event keys in one of our tasks last week again.

I found in my handwritten notes that the first(?) Legendary Task we completed, which I believe was on November 7th ~8am PST by Kedran, gave:

2 Gem Keys, 3 Event Keys, 25 Glory Keys.

Wonder if something has changed since then.

.
EDIT: Found the screenshot of this task too.

For Table 2, it can be 2 OR 3 Event Keys. I don’t know if it’s a mistake or not.

When its a pick between 2 and 3, we get 2!

@Aelthwyn @turintuor Well there’s SOMETHING a bit strange going on. Primarily because of these results:

November 7th ~8am PST (Kedran)
2 Gem Keys, 3 (three) Event Keys, 25 Glory Keys

And here’s the more recent finding:

February 2nd ~8pm EST
2 Gem Keys, 2 (two) Event Keys, 25 Glory Keys


Technically speaking, one of the above task results shouldn’t be possible if it contains a fair pull from Table 2.

I have just checked and I realize that we have been getting either 2 or 3 event keys as well.

Maybe a dev could enlighten us?

The fact that both

“2 Gem Keys, 2 Event Keys, 25 Glory Keys”

and

“10 Glory Keys, 2 Event Keys, 6 Gem Keys”

appear together so often as triplets should raise some eyebrows!

Only one more choice of masteries to go

@efh313 Congratz! I wasn’t awake when you got to 1000 but the greatness itself never sleeps.

You didn’t get a screenshot of the blessèd milestone for us to decrypt for apothenic meaningfulness?

See, if mathematicians didn’t go digging for truthiness, you’d just never know if the end of the world arrived while folks were out walking the dog or something :slight_smile:

Thanks thelica for keeping track of legendary tasks. I just wish they would give rewards proportional to the regular tasks
