Silent Night post

Alright, just got to the boss's for the second time.

First time, didn't know where crystal was --> died in about 5 secs flat.

that was actually hilarious :D we were just like, oh.. lol

SECOND time, had a decent defence ready and waiting. Guess what, one of the bosses has enough damage to take out buffed 2.5k HP harps in 2-3 swings. Not to mention some extreme knockback.

that one was kinda scary actually, "yeah we got everything set up where's the bo..." Defence Units are back at 0

was also really funny to watch your barb fly across the map :D

Note this is for the challenge. The challenge where your defences disappear prior to boss's appearing and so you need atleast 1 builder, more likely 2. This sort of boss might be doable in camp with a pre-set defence and 4 focused DPS, but in a challenge with a max of two and brand new defences it just doesn't fit.

this 100%
(I'm actually still laughing about that first huddle around the tree up top)

Good morning sunshine!

I entered the board just to learn what new challenge is about and what are the rewards, and everyone's telling me it's just impossible. Merry Christmas!

Dont remind me. Never fighting him there again!

new maps cause game to crash lots when you lose or return to tavern.

did update to dddk go out

i just did verify game cache for dddk and its still the old one :(

wtf they ninja nerfed akakiti rewards?

I knew it wasn't just my imagination, if this is so, I'm sooooooo done with this game.

Siriously, this winter wonderland map is troolololol easy on insane and rewards supreme accessories and some decent items. NM gave me ultimate leather boots that my tower monk is now wearing :P

Yeah, but I don't like Trendy's lack of responsibility, lack of seriousness, and I sure has hell don't like being acted upon around my back.

Understand?? The problem is not them patching out, although I managed to grab a single good dps gladius which to me is worth like nothing because my dps toon is the monk.

The problem is them not being frontal about it.

I used to be annoyed about this too... but ever since I stopped caring I enjoy the game so much more.

Customer complacency on this kind of stuff entitles them to keep doing it again and again, as for myself, I have a little more self respect.

Game still crashes often as client after losing new maps or returning to tavern and I did a verify game cache.

Yeah screw this Trendy, where exactly in your sales pitch said it multiplayer required.

Winter Wonderland on NM is impossible to solo without hacked stats, 10 million hp ogres on wave 2 and you cant set up a proper defense until then. The map is huge AND the crystal are decentralized, so the "outskirts" of the map arent just there to give the mobs something to walk on. In 55 seconds you can barely make one round with ONE of your builders and have him build all the stuff thats needed.

This map needs a huge mana and buildtime increase, i'd say 120 seconds between waves at least and 4 or 5 minutes before the first wave with according mana increases in chests.

Technically it is possible to solo... until the boss. It just requires putting a combat weapon a the builder that will build in the first combat phase. Gas traps will give you plenty of build time. Still, it really does need to be fixed so there is doubt the time in 2nd build phase or 300 more mana + 50 seconds to first build phase.

It's not too hard to solo build with a team if they protect you as you build and give you mana in first combat phase. I really really doubt you could beat boss wave without hacks though. The HP stays waaaay too high on the bosses with less players. Then again, technically you could do it if you took 1 hour by constantly repairing, fighting, repairing, fighting, repairing, etc.

So, is Coal a temporary drop that will be impossible to obtain later or not?

I'm liking the next patch, dayum.

I still don't see increased building time and added more mana to chests for winter wonderland in the patch notes.

Even if you solo build you need friends to bring you mana to lay down a foundation for the first phase of your build. You can't truly solo this yourself. Simply unacceptable.

[quote]reduced silent night and winter wonderland boss difficulties, and increased build time on winter wonderland by 40% and on silent night by 15%[/quote]

:d:d:d

Ok much better, that place just pisses me off atm. so didn't see that. Ok abit more time to build was much needed. I hope this is universal on all waves not just the first.

Cant wait for this patch and on a lighter note this new item quality will be interesting.

sweet more time it was ridicolous that i had to have 2 builder players with me setting towers together on nm lol

and now i don't think i have to resort to temporary towers

by looking at this note (+ added 5 additional beefy starting Chests)

thanks trendy

Awesome!

Winter Wonderland on NM is impossible to solo without hacked stats

Done without hacked stats. :)

I guess someone will release a build soon on DDPlanner :)

Build Time 6:56
Combat Time 45:06

Wave 14 (Final Wave): 17:50 o.O :D


EDIT: LOL already nerfed -.-

It does seem like Akatiti rewards got worse. To be precise, it seems like they returned to back when Nightmare erroneously awarded Insane grade accessories and before the weapon stat potential got buffed.
