The last time Hellcrag was the weekly kingdom, I completed all 5 Epic Trial levels. I have Starry Grimcrag levelled up to Mythic.
But as of weekly reset, it’s showing that my Epic Trials are NOT completed and after I re-did one level, it’s still offering me copies of the pet that I already have at Mythic.
Is this intended behavior, for Epic Trials to reset each time the kingdom comes back around?
It is intended that progress through epic trials resets. From the guides article Trials:
“Each time there is a new Event Week for the same Kingdom, there will be fresh Epic Trials you can play and earn the rewards from again.”
Is it still offering you extra copies of the starry pet for gems after each battle? It probably shouldn’t do that when you already have enough copies of the pet for max level.
Yeah, it’s offering me copies for 200 Gems after each re-done Epic Trial.
Also I think it’s horrible that the Epic Trials reset like that. I completed them because I want them COMPLETED. The completionist in me is screaming at them being unfinished despite me already doing them in the past.
The completionism issue is tricky because many players want more chances to get the starry pet, and some players might want to play the levels again due to new teams (a different form of completionism).
Maybe the levels could be marked as completed but replayable?
Remember there were quite a few players that were unable to fully upgrade the trial pet because they locked the purchase option at 1M gems. If trials weren’t repeatable then the first 3(?) Trial pets would require orbs to fully ascend and that would affect a very large % of players
I think it was 2. Vul which was a easy clear and Khetar which was awful. These were also before they started reworking the teams each week.
Epic Trials should be resetted. Not all players buy the pet after complete the Epic Trials run.
They give the chance to all players to complete and THEN, buy the pet every time the feature kingdom event are on.
If you are already mythic the starry pet just forgot the epic trials battles. There is no purpose to do them again.
You could still do the epic trials battles and disenchant the extra copies of the starry pet, however I agree with the 200💎 offer should not appear if your starry pet is already maxed.
Unfortunately lots of people including myself wasted gems on even more copies of an already fully upgraded pet. These gems could have gone into the weekly event instead to reach higher tiers …
I did the epic trials and bought all of the 200 gem offers for the pet, not knowing that I had previously beaten the trials and maxed out the pet. A huge waste of time and gems.
That would be very bad for people who can’t/don’t want to spend gems for the pets. The completionist in ME has decided to think of Epic trials as separate mini-events and not part of the trials, themselves. Like faction events.
it can be easily solved. keep the mechanism as previous (reset epic trial everytime, you choose to fight or not fight). because some players plan to do that again and again to get mythic pet. dont nerf their opportunity.
Solution is that dev just add the status (word, number, picture or whatever) of that shiny pet somewhere inside epic trial to show the progress. thats all. just a short cut to check the pet.
also, please refund or compensate those wrongly spent 200gems players as no one would spend 200gems for pet food.
Sorry. But people need to take some responsibility themselves on this. It wasn’t hidden that they would reset and like some earlier things people do just click through regardless which is what they hope for. You just need to suck it up and learn from the experience or if you feel so aggrieved raise a ticket.
first of all, dont talk about responsibility. Hellcrag is the first repeated kingdom, so we can find out the defects of the epic trial system. Dev didnt mention all the mechanic of epic trial comparing to normal trial. i had thought that it could be same as normal trial - every player one time only task, but not a cycling event task. so, i forced myself spend 200gems to buy the pet each fight. this is the first trick/defect from dev.
secondly, they can just add a shop page allow players buy the pet anytime after the requirement satisfied (1,2,3,4,5 fights), but not asking us after the fight causing mis-click (i believe most of us just skip the fight result). this is the second trick.
third, i dont think you like to check everything before any fight of any event everyday. make the game simple, OK? show the status of starry pet of that week is not so complicated.
(I didnot spend any gems this time. i am not the sufferers bargain for any compensation, and will spend pet orb to save 1000 gems afterwards. i just have empathy for those accidentally spend gems for nothing they wanted with every bug/defect. do you think 200gems for 5 pet foods is fair?)
Actually, they did.
It was asked at introduction whether epic trials would be replayable when kingdom rolls around next time and we got the answer - yes, they would be, with the same rewards and the same gem offers. And, surprisingly, they’ve even mentioned this on zendesk game guide concerning Trials.
Skipping fight results is not their fault, its yours, slow down and pay attention.
I do check before spending gems/chest keys/vault keys. After weavergate and all the times they said Tarot were in the vault and they werent or a certain troop was available and wasn’t…yes i do check before spending my resources
OK, just check 6.9 updates on April and zendesk game guide. you are right. they have written that it is replayable. i really dont know i have to check every updates and read the guide on zendesk to play the games. it is my fault. i have just learnt a lesson. thank you. i will never just read the word in the game and believe that i understood the new game mode.
anyway, i do the same as you, spending gems very carefully every everytime, as i dont trust dev to spend gems. thats why i am not the sufferer from Hellcrag epic trial. wish them get back the gems by sending tickets.
nonono. you should not blame us skipping the results. i am not same as you enjoy every flames of the game and i am playing with X4 game speed and speeding up everything to maximize the efficiency. I dont believe you are playing with X1 and check every number of the results in case it shows wrong and back check the inventory every fights. that is not how the game works. we trust the number is correct and as a result it never correct and just leave it until we can see the defect and report to dev.
from tarot troops, it shows that you used to believe what dev say the new content but cant, and get used to not trust what they update. as we know their program always come with defect. so let other players be the lab rats and reported. so you didnt waste your resource, right? i believe it is what we all are doing. keep checking bugreport and dont want to be the sufferer.
I absolutely play on 4x Speed, i just hit the button once to load all rewards and then take a second to look where i need to.
Trusting them to get it right doesnt seem like an effective strategy considering this company’s track record for releasing broken or missing content. Does it cost me a few seconds overall or a minute? Sure, but it also doesnt cost me 1000 gems for extra pet food
