The irony should not be lost that this week’s “shell game” actually has _less_ complicated scoring than most others have! ---

Is it lazy or did they forget about it. Can you plagiarize your own IP? Just change it to Armor be okay? To be fair, they probably searched for the exact text before they sent it out. And since they are inconsistent af in their trait descriptions. They didn’t catch it. ---

So… 4 legendary battles, each with their own score? Hm… need a mnemonic. Scylla Kraken Leviathan Kharybdis Kha-Levi Kra-Scy? Although, to be fair, it doesn’t look like this event resets so we’ll just be clicking the same spot after the inevitable blue wall. ---

And y’all wonder why I stopped beta testing\*. We tell them about stuff and they ignore it and f#%@ it up anyway. Behemoth has had that trait for _years_, we definitely said as much in the spoiler thread and others and where are we now … well, its not our responsibility anyway, it is 100% theirs. \*: I mean, no, nobody wonders that, not really. Of course we did the same pointing-out and so on about King Minos’ trait being the same as Shaman’s and that stayed the same too. ---

> [@Crow](#): > > Its so frustrating, we have sooooo many bugs and oversights in the last 10 days is like is their goal. I wonder how much the company acquisition might be involved in this. Did they hand over parts of the game to some maintenance team to free up resources for other projects? ---

I need to pay attention to news or start visiting the forum regularly again. I think it’s the 2nd time now I bought the weekly troop, then realized I had to open event chests for a legendary. I keep not expecting there to be a legendary, since we had one recently. ---
