🧪 Early Information on New Knights of Avalon Challenge Event [Part of The Beta Beat V23]

[Scarecrow]

I understood When I was in the support team on Filelist, we were called staff and I didn’t know here is different. Perhaps because of this major difference. Filelist is a torrent site and forum, not a game that requires developers. Thanks for clarifying.

Staff confirmed Avalon will be next event in Sep. Time to make this hot again

[Rfm]

When were?
Revamped or older version?

[SNEAK PEEK] Updated Challenge Events Approaching!

Prepare yourself to face the updated Challenge Events - starting in September 2019! [challenge_event_heroes] As we announced earlier (see Challenge Events Rotation Change), we have been busy working on overhauling our existing Challenge Events. We are happy to announce that the updated Challenge Events are now approaching! What’s new with the updated Challenge Events? All Challenge Events have 5 extra stages for each difficulty (15 in total per each difficulty). …

[Rfm]

Thanks @CrBear just arrived was cheking everything out! Found it great news!

[Merry_me]

I like all the new heroes. I’d be thrilled to get Bauchan, he’s strong for a 3 star. He’s rather a 3.5 star. But won’t go crazy with pulls and will possibly only do one or two pulls additional to the coin pulls and try to get lucky.
Feeling a bit luke-warm about the 4 stars but would warmly welcome the older 5 stars

Will this update just be the event or is the new strongholds coming as well

[zephyr1]

That hasn’t been announced yet, but I’m personally still hoping they’ll rework Alchemy Lab before release.

[StephenNap89]

If they also release Alchemy Lab as is, the only good thing that can be said is it isn’t a junk update thanks to the updated events.

[zephyr1]

True, I’m just still struggling to figure out what to use or recommend the Alchemy Lab for.

The only thing I’ve seen mentioned so far in the Beta thread is converting 1* Battle Items to 2* Battle Items, but the Food costs seem pretty steep to me to make that particularly appealing.

[Hillbilly1]

Not a fan of alchemy lab either i agree it needs to be completely overhauled.

[StephenNap89]

If memory serves, didn’t you say there is a really nice looking icon to collect a finished transmutation? We could build it so we could enjoy the icon…

[zephyr1]

I did say that:

@zephyr1

I like the icon for when a Transmutation is done, and the item is ready to be collected.

It looks like an atom symbol.

I postulated in my Beta feedback that building the Alchemy Lab, transmuting one item, and leaving the item uncollected so I could enjoy that icon indefinitely might be the only thing I ever do with the building, unless it’s substantially changed.

---

But I also said this after a subsequent release:

@zephyr1

They also changed the icon, so you can imagine where that leaves my current impression.

[StephenNap89]

Ah, I missed the second post, I think. Sorry!

What does the icon look like now? Dog turd?

[zephyr1]

lol no, it looks like what I would think of as a witch’s cauldron, sort of like this:

That’s a major feature in the Alchemy Lab UI too.

The UI is actually pretty cool, they did a nice job on that part.

[Rfm]

Its more like the junk basket… then after all is burn you colect the ashes and humm then you have ashes insted of a load crap of junk…
Ohh wait … we will need a new buiding to get rid of the ashes soon, right?

[StephenNap89]

I’m always a fan of nice artwork, too bad that is all this building has.

Side note: SG, please don’t make me look at Boldtusk in a Chef’s hat in order to make him better… please?

[bhushan]

Wow, September is going to be extremely expensive! With new event heroes, and alby and aegir in Atlantis, SG is gonna make a ton of money.

[uvekolarz]

@zephyr1 do you know what the event gameplay will look like? Will the rules, number of waves etc change or will it be the same routine x15 instead of x10?

[Obsidian]

This puzzles me since it is an event and people are drawing for an event hero and yet you ahve a better chance of getting a regular 5* than an event 5*. Granted the odds are both small and the difference is even smaller but shouldn’t the odds give people a better shot at the event 5* as most want them? Same with the others as well. In Atlantis you get mostly S2 with the occasional S1 regardless of the level. I would think this would be similar but I guess it keeps people chasing? I do LOVE the new coins since I am F2P now from C2P and wouldn’t get any shot at the event heroes aside from maybe a single pull from saved gems though I would likely use in Atlantis.
