Thanks for spending the time updating us all, will await the new threads.

Interesting to see what the goblin chest will be :thinking: and whether the hero balance updates are just the expected upcoming S3 and HOTMs or whether it is wider than that.

Featured heroes in the ToL sounds great but don’t really want the chance of a current HOTM in that portal if it increases the cost or reduces the already low chances

There hasn’t been any indication that there is a change in the portal odds but will investigate when I get a chance.

There is a feature already in the other SGG game (Puzzle Combat) which sounds almost identical. @DaveCozy is busy building a standalone thread for this so more information will be coming :slight_smile:

Here’s the thread :slight_smile:

Please heed the note. I had to literally open up another game (by SG) to gather the details, since the Goblin Balloon isn’t actually possible to test in Empires Beta.

Woot! Also, way to ensure that exactly zero money and coins are spent in August ToL! Haha!

Is it already known how many featured heroes will be shown in the tavern of legends?

Costume chamber has two, valhalla just one, atlantis four
 :grin:

It’s not in Beta yet, so no, we have no way to know at this point.

Many thanks to our moderators for bringing the latest info.

So regarding ToL, what should we do this month in terms of summons? Is it possible to have any guidance on that (in terms of overall odds, featured # of heroes / odds)

200

The changes aren’t in this months Tavern of Legends. I personally would be saving the tokens for a time when the heroes are featured that you want.

Could be next month, could be never. It’s beta.

Dunno why it wasn’t released with this in the first place, but guess better late than never

Sorry, I’m oblivious to everything new, pretty much since S3. Do “featured heroes” not exist in TOL (i.e. GM this month)? Where it says “Featuring GM”
 does that not mean anything in terms of summoning odds?

Side note: I wonder what’s going to happen to Myztero with the addition of Current HOTMs/if there will ever be new mystery draws


205

Nope, means nothing.

@Guvnor do you expect these changes to come into effect next month ? Best guess at odds for featured heroes ? In line with Atlantis ?

207

In the words of @littleKAF:

P.S. Thanks E&P for the deceptive advertising on “featuring” GM (and a true thanks to the mods for the clarification)
 I’ll be holding onto my :dollar: now.

No idea, there hasn’t been any indication from SGG on the timeline for V31 update will be released.

Also not sure. I would GUESS that they may do 0.5% for the “featured hero/es” leaving 0.7% for the rest of the “legendary hero pool”. How many “featured heroes” there will be? I have no idea
 Maybe 2
 maybe 4
? Will they be on a fixed rotation? Also no idea
 I personally hope not, that there will be a degree of randomness in the selection of “featured heroes”; otherwise we’ll end up with a scenario that a given hero will only be featured {x} times before disappearing forever into the main “pool”
