Took 27 dragons for me to finish the gem dragons, but got a perfect 6 sweep on the celestial dragons.

Number of win/loss looks fine. Weekly results show 0 because this is the first week. There was no result last week

Gee this game is cruel and they just keep finding ways to make this game not fun.

I had 5k Dragonite so crafted 9 eggs and got 5 out of the 6 dragons. Although 5 might sound ok it’s the order I got them which really annoyed me. When something is based on RNG there shouldn’t be a pattern like this.

This was the order of my 9 eggs:

Lunarelleon (Purple)
Lunarelleon (Purple)
Nebuladryx (Green)
Nebuladryx (Green)
Solarithus (Yellow)
Solarithus (Yellow)
Eklipsos (Brown)
Nebuladryx (Green)
Comethalas (Blue)

What a load BS!!! and I have done so many Sentinel battles in the Underspire and have not even got 1 of the Sentinel Troops.

I am all for making things difficult but when it’s based on chance and that chance is pretty much impossible it creates a very poor player experience and makes the game unenjoyable. I really feel sorry for newer players and explains why so many players have quit.

I have said before there is no RNG in the game - it is a business and it designed to make money. Some people on the forum here will try to silence me by quoting some “stats”. But I am telling you it is rigged.

Speaking of money am I correct that one can purchase the 50 Gold Marks in the Premium shop once a day and then get one book every two days with that? (Provided you have 20000 Points of course). If so then wealthy players will certainly leave others in the dust…

Also regarding PVP - most players will play where battles are the fastest - either in central, maybe some color region. The regions that are restricted by Kingdom or troop type will mostly be too slow and difficult (unless a particular good one comes along) - so those regions should have higher rewards, but they don’t - they give the same rewards.

I have a question.
Do PvP goals and VP reset every week?
If I need 20k VP to craft a book of deeds, do I have to gain them during one week?

i belive VP does indeed reset. its somewhere in the notes. i will edit this if i can find it

promised edit: hint i was wrong

Victory Points (VP)

  • Players now earn Victory Points (VP) from PvP Battles instead of “PvP Score”.
    • VP will be used for 2 separate things
    • VP will be a measure of your progress in weekly PvP
    • VP totals as they accumulate week-by-week will unlock things in the PvP Shop
    • In a future update, we will introduce PvP Seasons, and your VP will reset (not back to zero though – there will be ways to get a headstart)
    • For now, we are treating version 7.3 as “Season Zero” – it’s the season you get when there’s not really a season!
  • All PvP battles have a base amount of VP (based on a player’s progress through the game) with bonus VP that can be earned from battles if players meet certain conditions.
    • Bonus VP can be seen applying to base VP in the post-battle menu alongside the battle MVP.
    • A series of slide-ins will show the exact amounts of Bonus VP and what they are earned from.
  • When you lose a defense battle, there is no loss of VP (like there was with the old PvP Score). There may be a mode in a future update where VP can be lost, but in 7.3 (with Quick Battle the only mode available) there is no VP loss at this time.

Oh, thank you very much!
I remembered reading this part, but wasn’t sure.
So, 20k VP during the season… seems OK

it was only a copy and paste :rofl:

my question is whats a season… unless i missed it

As I predicted, the brackets are stuffed up with inactive players. In mine, there is me and one other, who are at least guild members, and the other one hasn’t been online for 2000 days. The remaining 28 are not even at that point.

It has been established, that inactive players cannot be demoted, but the way this looks, I am rather wondering, whether they can be promoted. Some will end up in the top 7 by default.

its going to take a good while to weed them all out and have them drop to the bottom

They won’t.
According to the patch notes, if a player does not play a single Pvp fight in a week, they are immune to demotion.
We still got 5 unexplored tiers above us, so it can be expected, that at least the top 3 tiers will (mostly) consist of active players for a while. But once those stop playing…

Enjoying the heck out of the new battlegrounds. Thanks everyone who worked on this. I wasn’t sure I was going to like the change, but this is fresh!!

A lot of people have the same inactive players in their bracket apparently


oh… well that system is flawed to F… after two weeks of no play you should start to drop, there are so many dead accounts

Does anyone else’s kingdom PvP team slot reset each time you leave a kingdom chasing the orange lantern then return? At least let us keep the teams we built until the weekly reset for goodness sake!
