Plus we have a new weekend celebration for you with buffs for five Crusaders AND a new Golden Epic with the purchase of the unique Tasty Chests. Details are on the official blog! The weekend buff runs until Monday August 8th at Noon PDT!

I have the game running ALL day long unattended every day cause offline server running is just so way way way under valued.
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 10:10 AM Erika/Alyniana No, we didn't force a refresh. Your game will still be there. The progress won't have benefited from the weekend buff bonus.
62 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 10:17 AM Roku Thank you for the update, especially a method of dealing with the 5000 cap. Do you mind explaining how Speed Runner works? The description is kind of vague. What counts as a short mission? Will it reduce the odds of lengthy missions such as for gear and chests?
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 10:23 AM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 10:23 AM Erika/Alyniana You're welcome. :) It does exactly what it says in the Talent shop. It increases the odds of getting the shorter duration missions from the pools. Anything up to 4 hours is considered a short duration mission.
62 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 10:28 AM Roku But does that mean that it will reduce the odds of missions for chests and gear since those are all over 4 hours or are those taken from a different pool?
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 10:30 AM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 10:31 AM Erika/Alyniana Chests and gear are from different pools than the EP and Gold and others. It just means you are more likely to see more 4 hour and under missions than the 20 hour missions for Gold, etc.

15 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 11:20 AM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 11:35 AM kazeshi Are we going to get more varied tags on the short missions since there are only a half dozen or so? Also, at 1k base 40 lvls of extra training is going to cost what a million+ to max? im fine with that, gives a better long term goal than some of the other talents, but thats only 1000 to max lvl. is that something devs will take a look at in the future and possibly raise to 50 or some other amount per lvl?

One little critic, though: you said in the past that you would give free respecs every time new talents are introduced, so that players can optimize their talent loadout. But I don't see a free respec following this update... the talents themselves are great (well, some more useful than others, but still a nice addition), but I am afraid without free respecs the more costly ones (especially Extra Training, that is VERY expensive) will become much less useful.
119 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 11:24 AM Smash10101 Extra Training costs about 43k to max.
15 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 11:25 AM kazeshi Are you sure? things with 500 base take 106k to get to lvl 25 and 889k to get to lvl 40
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 11:32 AM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 2:03 PM Erika/Alyniana @ Smash10101: It will give a heavier weight to any mission that is 4 hours or shorter, so that does include the Speed Buffs. @ Kazeshi: Read the rest of the thread. We may add more missions in the future as well, but no guarantees. @ Teschio: There was a glitch. That is now resolved. Refresh and you'll have your respec. The last 10 levels of Extra Training take about 150k, level 30 being around 10k, so probably 250k-300k to max. I wasn't really summing accurately when I was doing a quick test out of curiosity.

The last level alone is 16786 idols. EDIT: wow, I thought you would give one free respec, not three! That is even more awesome!
119 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 12:36 PM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 12:36 PM Smash10101 227k to max, by my math. I for some reason decided it was only 20 levels when I gave a number before.
319 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 1:13 PM ihatethisfing so a maxed out speed runner is 200% more likely to see a 4h and under mission....is this reducing our chance to get epic and rare missions since those generally take longer?
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 2:04 PM Erika/Alyniana @ ihatethisfing: Yes, the longer missions in the categories with 4 hour missions would get a little rarer, but you would still see them sometimes.
692 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 2:19 PM Teschio Wait, Erika, are you saying that having that talent actually REDUCES the chance of epic gear missions? If so, then that talent is actually harmful, since gear missions are the best ones... can you please confirm wether this is the case? (if the answer is yes, I guess it's time to respec :D)
3620 Posts	Link to post - Posted August 5th 2016 at 2:31 PM Last Edited August 5th 2016 at 2:31 PM Erika/Alyniana Gear missions are their own category and there are no 4 hour missions in that category, since all gear missions are 2 days. It would more affect if you like getting the long missions for the extra % on the speed buff.
