What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
It is counting moves, not turns. In a 35m battle, I had 4 turns but 12 moves, and scored a 99 (35-2=33 * 3=99). Rules state it’s 10 turns.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Every time
Steps to make it happen again
Play and use a looping team
I just started playing Journey.
It’s definitely “Moves” that counting, not “Turns”. @Jeto@Kafka Can you pls change it “turns” or at least make it “20 or even more moves”
same here.
Also, the article says You cannot lose more than -10 miles for battles won, or -5 miles for battles lost.
I’m pretty sure I’ve just lost 20 miles.
That has always been confusing to me. But consider, a 4 four match gives you an “extra turn”. Goblins say “Gain an Extra Turn”. I’m not sure what the wording on storms is, I can’t find any in game I think GoW just has a confusing definition of “turn”.
Yeah as far as I can tell, a move is any time you make a match or cast a spell. But a turn to me is everything that happens before the other team gets to move. That’s why I think the wording is misleading.
plus the fact that the official knowledge base article EXPLICITLY says that your turn, then your opponent’s turn is ONE TURN. So if you do some stuff, and then your opponent does some stuff, that is intended to be 1 turn, no matter how much “stuff” happens by each side.
Exactly. I would imagine it would be a harder fix to change how they consider turns in the event, but they could lower the rewards requirements pretty easily. At the very bare minimum fix the wording.
fully agree. it is explicitly mentioned, where in GW it is also explicitly mentioned what a “turn” is: 2. How many turns it takes you to win
By “turns” we mean unique actions (so a goblin who casts his spell, then matches 4 gems, then matches some skulls, has performed 3 actions)
You get bonus points for every action less than 30 that you take… So say you get x% bonus per turn - take 20 turns, and you will receive 10*x% as your bonus
I am experiencing the same thing. I guess they really do copy the code from Guild War, so extra turn can hurt you sometimes.
Although, I think the formula of your point is actually (35*3) - 6 = 105-6 = 99, and both turn and move seem to added as 16 “actions”, thus 6 more from limited “turn”, so 6 Miles panalty
Edit : Nope, you formula of (35-2)*3 = 99 is exactly right. You got 2 reduction because of the extra turn, and it was a bug as stated by Kafka below.
I was mistaken, sorry the for the misinformation…
Not really.
I thought the whole event was bugged because of this impossible achievement.
Right now, it take around 170 battles to get 20K Miles, and that’s 2x Tier 7 or around 2.5K gems. Most player won’t buy that much unless they’re chasing for leaderboard or helping the guild get the final Books.
So, unless it can be combined from different Journey, it won’t be possible for most of us.
I can spend the gems to get it anyway, but Journey is too boring, so I rather not.
Except it states in the article that it’s 1 point deduction per over 10, so it should be 2 points. It also says in the article that the bonuses are multiplied after the base points have deductions
