The Sleeper of Elrengoth Forest Rebalancing Patch

Discussion in 'Past Announcements' started by [ATA]Gregory, Oct 26, 2016.

  1. Greetings KaWmunity. We've heard feedback from players about issues with The Sleeper of Elrengoth Forest event and The Old Man of the Forest Epic Battle. We understand these concerns, and are working to address them as fast as possible.

    Changes:
    1. Diabolical TOMotF difficulty decreased by 33%. (Warning: Still extremely difficult)
    2. Murderous and Diabolical TOMotF Collection Item drop rates increased
    3. All TOMotF difficulties now have a chance to drop Druidic Rootclaws
    4. Level 3 and 4 have a chance to drop Dagger of Elrengoth.
    5. Descriptions of TOMotF have been updated to better communicate EB difficulty.
    6. The amount of Seeds of Samhain required to start each level of TOMotF has been reduced.

    Players will be compensated for Seeds of Samhain spent based on the difference in original and new costs. The new costs are 3, 15, 25, and 30.

    We will continue to monitor the forums and listen to feedback. Thank you for your patience and passion for the game.
     
  2. So, all hail Sucker Punch?
    Developers should design ebs to cater to them now?
    Took a clan over 12h to realise they couldn't do an eb... and they expect compensation.

    Look at the number of heavy attack and heavy spy builds in the clan. How many can actually hit eb with all successes and minimal troop/spy lost? How many are actually BC?

    Who cares about their faults? The top clans should be self-entitled to eb completion.

    Perhaps the developers are starting to shift their emphasis to bfa after the OR buildings update.

    Blame the devs, but blame yourselves too.
     
  3. Levels 3 and 4 drop dagger equip to people? Umm...I don't think so Devs. I didn't pay 25 nobs to open up one of your promo chests and get the dagger as an "exclusive premium item", so that people can randomly get it for free as a drop.
     
  4. Cool now you have an Eb only 1 clan can complete, and give them bonus drops too, not even sarcastic that's cool
     
  5. Devs are idiots... plain and simple.

    They think they're doing something good.
     
  6. What about 3rd level kinda ridiculous to charge so much and lb clans are still required to xtal and possibly fail it
     
  7. T2 will be the eb most used . I suggest dagger also available from t2
     
  8. Have to pay for the eb still, not a free drop when you pay for eb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
     
  9. I do agree. Murderous was pretty difficult to finish. Don't see many clans doing it often, especially if it takes nearly the whole alotted time plus xtals to complete.

    Also, will clans that managed to complete the murderous tier be compensated event items because of the increase? It kinda stinks to spend a day on one eb to get a fraction of the items.
     
  10. I back up what mei says. Murderous needs to be dialled down a bit to. With 30 % taken off diabolical how much different is it from murderous now. Seems they must be close now in difficulty.
     
  11. True, HTE still pays better for items and gold and is well worth the value :)
     
  12. But yet I had to pay for eb multiple times until I got one of the chest drops, and then pay 25 nobs to open the chest to get an "exclusive item". And yes it's free for most people, since a lot of people just hit the eb once it's opened, and don't drop seed.
     
  13. So will there be any reimbursement on the difference in items? I've personally done 3-4 fiendish and I'm not sure what the difference is, but I imagine it's substantial enough to be noteworthy
     
  14. It doesn't say anything about fiendish drops increasing.

    "2. Murderous and Diabolical TOMotF Collection Item drop rates increased"

    I'd be curious to see if those drops we're adjusted as well.
     
  15. The drop rate for the equipment in the chest is higher than in the Epic Battle, and hitting it just a few times will probably not result in a Dagger or Claws, as the drop rate is based upon effort. It is also very hard to complete Murderous and Diabolical, so we wanted to reward the effort of such dedicated players.

    However, I do like the idea of having extra rare equipment hidden exclusively in a chest. We may do this in the future. By the way, congratulations on your dagger, it's extremely rare.
     
  16. How about To stop The events... Give us a break... Halloween Is coming up and no event for that... What gives!!
     
  17. Murderous is twice as difficult as Fiendish, Diabolical is now twice as difficult as Murderous.
     
  18. I agree do a Halloween them or something.
     
  19. So should all EBs be restructured to help clans stop failing them? Perhaps all drops should be increased and all difficulty should be decreased? Maybe we can have an EB just start SKOing to help clans not fail?
     
  20. :D
