3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 10:52 AM Last Edited February 10th 2016 at 11:02 AM Erika/Alyniana It's time for some new objectives to old campaigns! Get ready to test your Talents with 4 new objectives designed to push you to the limit! Are you ready for it? Post comments and questions here!
692 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 11:40 AM Teschio Great! Some of these look really challenging... I was hoping for a new campaign after the talents, but I guess these objectives could do... (PS: I was hoping for a fix on Drizzle's Running Play skill, I guess I'll have to wait a little longer...)
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 11:42 AM Erika/Alyniana A new campaign is also in the works. These should tide you over for now. Drizzle is scheduled to be fixed when we have time for a bug fix update.

The description doesn't say so, but it's got ridiculously increased quest item and creep kill requirements. EDIT: On level 5 now, and I have to kill the boss 5 times. Is this a bug or just a terrible feature?

62 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:25 PM Roku Thank you for the update! Is there any chance we'll see other ways to recruit event crusaders we missed out on coming soon? That event would be nearly impossible for newcomers...
119 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:26 PM Smash10101 Erika confirmed to me through a support ticket that the 5x quest requirements are a feature to prevent us from farming on the objective. Makes sense, but I'm still sad I wasn't fast enough to get in on the fun.
114 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:27 PM Matt Silva yeah would be nice... while others can exploit until they refresh. ::shrugs::
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:27 PM Erika/Alyniana @ Matt: If they used Spawn Speed buffs and had enough Idols, they could reach area 50 quite quickly. The increased gold on the areas, because the difficulty jumps drastically each area, made for quick Idol gain.

3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:30 PM Erika/Alyniana @ Roku: Glad you're enjoying the update. By the time you have enough Idols to try Holiday Hoopla, you probably have a decent selection of event Crusaders. As well, as per the AMA on reddit: We definitely want to find a way to get old event Crusaders (and gear for them) into the hands of players who missed them. It's just a matter of finding the best way to do it. We don't want to diminish the effort players made getting them and gearing them up during the actual events themselves.
114 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:38 PM Matt Silva Not that it matters now, I am happy to see more content. but can we assume that exploit was found and patched? as some are still seeing 5x the idols... i.e. normal monster count vs the intended 5x

119 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 4:41 PM Smash10101 Yeah, finding a way to get us old event crusaders and their items would be very nice. I started during thanksgiving and for a long time was really sad that I missed out on Pete (back when Hermit in Box was the best way to farm). The Jason update fixed part of that, and the Siri update fixed most of the rest, but it'd still be nice to be able to get better items for the old event crusaders at minimum. I have only gotten 2 epics for event crusaders across the last 4 events, and I've used a good amount of warps to try to get more chests. I didn't even end up with rare items on Groklok this time. Whether epic drop rates need to be changed, or JC rates on freeplay need to be upped, or both, it's quite frustrating when the shiny new crusaders can't compete with the classic ones because you need their items to compete. I actually didn't buy the golden epic this time around specifically because it looked like Drizzle wouldn't be able to outbuff Artaxes long term without her team DPS epic and Groklok's epic tooth to go along with the golden epic sword.

114 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 10th 2016 at 5:08 PM Matt Silva Thats all I was curious about. I came in later than that. Was just trying to figure out if I did something differently, or the new release was patched. Thank you

17 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 25th 2016 at 7:25 PM Cortana Blue I have 9242 idols. On slow decent I think the difficulty setting is pushed too far from 71 to 72. Is this how it is meant to be or did I just hit a wall of difficulty? I really don't mind lingering on a level for 5 days, but the gold level also has diminished it seems. (I did activate gold buffs once just before, but I thought it would catch up by now.) And other buffs don't last as long with 5x the objectives. Do I need to play it over and over to farm for more idols? And maybe I am biased, but the Lion King objective, Artaxes upgrades don't seem that impressive or impacting for the wait. Maybe I have too little idols too... How many is truely recommended for each new objective? (Not for unlock, but for getting 80% through at the very least) I do love the thought of Holiday Hoopla! And cursed treasure appears super challenging for when I struggled on freeplay past 350.
692 Posts	Link to post - Posted February 25th 2016 at 11:23 PM Teschio Cortana, the new objectives are designed for high-level play. You shouldn't even think about doing them until you have at least 30k idols. Slow descent in particular is really challenging (I have 50k idols, and I STILL had to use some buffs and warps to finish the final levels in a timely fashion) If you spend days for level 72 you will spend WEEKS to get to level 73, and I assure you that you will not be able to get to level 100. Ever. My suggestion is to abandon the objective and try again when you have a lot more idols. In general, I think that spending days on a single objective is a bad idea. If you can't finish one in 8-12 hours, you should rather farm more idols and retry later.
