For several years we, people playing the game, were aware that “our special was ready” because the whole effing image changed.
We were so smart and we didn’t know.

Underspire was a good idea ruined by poor implementation. It could have been a fun new game mode if not for the greed. It’s nothing more than a cash grab to me.

Underspire, I like it!

I believe it said he’s gonna be in the soulforge next week and is going to be a raid boss type thing, cuz Zuul was getting all lonely. I might be wrong, though.

You know, I’m glad you responded with this information because I was going by the “pointing” cloud arrow that I could barely see through the submerged fog of my troops. I can play a tiny bit faster knowing that not seeing any mana count means full mana count instead of struggling to pick up that pointer. 
It looks like everyone will be able to get to the first 2 dragons without any gem spend. The first dragon is like a free Medal of Nysha for late game players, with absolutely no gem spend! I’m surprised that this is the first reward, and not the 5th or something. I’d have to grind for weeks to get that.
I have completed the spire. It took 143 turns so if you do the math via the free mode you’ll be able to complete it but it will cost 2100 gems over the course of the week giving you 144 free plus gem purchases. I think the bosses are severely handicapped when i have all these trinkets to use at my disposal especially the deathmark one. The xp given is a surprisingly good thing. And the rewards are seriously missing books and imperial deeds. I would like to get those rather than more of what i already have… i look forward to the deep spire being unlocked in the future
Some of the rewards i obtained during the run using the lantern for each boss fight

I have seen several comments here stating “the devs will never see this because they never check this forum anymore”. So that got me wondering, I wonder if we all submitted a ticket in game stating our concerns and issues if perhaps then it would be addressed? Just a thought. Any opinions?

I was just trying to be cautious because rng and luck may make someone need a little more. It should be reachable for free most times.
The first two bosses have actually fine rewards. They got those right.
I already did that today for the accessibility issues with the new design. I hope I’ll not be the only one as the concerns of just one person is not likely to get taken seriously.

The devs don’t see the tickets either. Those are handled by the forum staff, and they can “hear” us around here already. They just choose to keep quiet, as they can’t do a thing about it anyhow.

It’s kind of tough for the middle man. I’ve seen it at my workplace as well. If you acknowledge something is a problem, even if you just say ‘you’ve heard it’, it implies that there will be a fix or change coming for the complainer. Otherwise people get jaded at you seeing problems but doing nothing about it. It’s hard to tell what sort of obstacles they have in terms of making these changes and not breaking other things in the process, especially since they clearly made some of the changes to appeal more to certain types of gamers.

So, because the problem doesn’t affect you, that means there isn’t one?
“How can there be world hunger when I have a fridge full of food?”

My point was that I thought the new boss would appear as an underspire boss. Instead, it seems that all underspire bosses are gem dragons.
Cost was $28 in 1.99 purchases and 900 gems to get 148 attempts via a 3 day attempt.

I can’t speak for anybody else, but I’m not especially lacking in Minor Orbs of Glory. Sure, more of them is preferable to fewer of them, but I see that tier of that particular orb often enough that I’m not inclined to use the free weekly Lantern on them.
The Imperial Deed with the second dragon, on the other hand? That is worth doubling up on, at least to me. If I had a second “free” Lantern every week, I’d probably double up on the 4th dragon (if I got that far) because th Medium Orb of Glory would be more worth it to me; I see a lot more of the Minor orb than I do the Medium and the Major combined.

I recall reading somewhere that the new boss is Zuul’goth’s tag-team partner and that we’ll see it instead of Zuul in upcoming Raidboss events.
So was yout 6th dragon behind the keystone room? Because mine is. Can’t tell if it just horrible RNG or an actual planned part of the ovrerall resource grab. I’ve spent 900 gems and $12 so far and was totally fine with that. But another 600 gems just to fight that battle? Ugh
BTW… NOWHERE in the notes does it state that Lanterns double the reward. THAT had to be found by trial and error and passed on by the players.
That would’ve been a nice thing to know beforehand, don’t you think?
