[PlayForFun]

New topic is now added for the brand new Master Trainer (Heroes):

• 🧪 Early information on Master Trainers [Part of The Beta Beat V49]

(Kalevala event will give these as rewards)

[djp1997]

Calendar now shows event starting mid June.

[PlayForFun]

Yes, I have seen it. I have already added it to the Kalevala event topic.

[PlayForFun]

Version 49 Beta testimg has just ended, and it will be released next week (probably on Monday).

Version 50 Beta testing is scheduled to start on June 15th.

[Photon]

Hope we get to see one of the new upcoming buildings soon, since we are getting into the later parts of the 2022 Sneak Peek

[PlayForFun]

I hope too, but I am expecting the Styx Tower to arrive to Beta in version 50, but we will see

Staff have not announced that what will we receive in V50. So it will be a suprise to us.

[Elioty33]

I personally don’t expect the Styx tower before the end of the year. Just look how long Gaillard and Peñolite were exclusive to those who got them for Black Friday before their event came up.

[Ruskin505]

This is what I’ve been thinking too but could easily be wrong.

[Jomps]

hopping for something big for the rounded number

[Photon]

Just looked at the seak peek and the 3 main things left, are new buldings, Monster Island, and Alliance Quest. Hopefully one of these will arrive soon

Season 3 costume bonus will depend on rarity.
You can read more here:

That is such bs. I really hope they dont intend to make this change to S1/S2/Seasonal costumes too.

[Elioty33]

I guess you meant Elemental Quest.

There are also more events coming (they used plural so not just the Garygoles, they probably meant Festival II and Styx tower at least) and Domion of Dragons.

@Photon

3 main things left, are new buldings, Monster Island, and Alliance Quest.

I thought we already have Alliance Quest (clash of Knights)?

[PlayForFun]

Yes, it is very questionable move.

Noone really like this in Beta either.

I have posted this feedback about this.

We will see if Staff will change it or not.

[Quiet]

In my opinion it would be better if the lower costume bonuses would apply to legendary heroes, but still it wouldn’t be a nice move at all. Especially if S3 has better costume bonuses than Seasonal and S2 heroes, it just doesn’t make any sense. Thank you for the poll!

[2puttshaqur]

S2 should match s3… Whether that means buffing s2 or nerfing s3.

As for rare and epic… Ok… i use a few s3s 4/3*… Any improved performance is welcome…

[Cerevan_the_Omni]

and please tell them to include more than one featured hero with costume, if they are rushing with inclusion of S3 costumes, before S2 costumes are all finished…

What happened to tavern costumes also? Are we going to repeat 6 heroes costumes for third time or are there new ones in the making?

Thanks!

We have just received the feedback summary for the Beta Build 3 for Version 49.

Here it is:

@Petri

Version 49 Beta 3 - General Feedback & Discussion

A number of players would like for Sif mana generation to revert back to 20% so she can have better synergy with slow Heroes. A player said she currently looked a lot like the original Hero. Players appreciate the taking of their feedback into account in regards to proposed changes for the Summons portal. Players liked the changes with Freya’s costume and Gullinbursti. A couple of players thought the Dodge for Freya’s costume should be increased to either 40 or 45% and thought the other changes could remain. Players would like 3-star mana troops. Players would like to see releases of 3 and 4-star Heroes. Players say that new Heroes and new costumes are being released too quickly. They would like for things to be slowed down so they can have the opportunity to level and max existing Heroes in their rosters. Players disagree with having different costume bonus for Legendary and non-Legendary costumes and disagree with Season 3 costumes having better bonuses than Season 2.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Feedback: Kalevala

Players noted their dislike of the linear approach to the event. Players like that Seasonal Events in contrast allow them to play where they want to depending on the energy cost. They did not consider the change an improvement. Players suggested making it possible to play levels again if the event was to remain linear.

Players suggested the following: Make all levels (Rare, Epic and Legendary) open and keep the rarity limitation for Heroes per level.

Players would like an improvement in rewards. A player said that veteran players’ disinterest with the current Rare and Epic Seasonal Stages is not because they’re easy but because the rewards are very poor. They said this disinterest would remain for the Kalevala event as the rewards were not on par with the difficulty level of the event. A number of players would either like an improvement of the rewards or the option to skip Epic and Rare levels. They noted that some players typically start with the Legendary Levels for Seasonal Events and complete the other levels over time.

Players like the inclusion of Aethers as rewards. A player would like for the Aether rewards to be Dark to make up for the prevalence of Ice Mirages Quest.

Players said the Pukko Storm needed more animation. They thought the Pukko Storm defense down needed to stack with effects cast by Heroes and should not overwrite each other. Players said the last stages of the Epic level were difficult.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Season V Provinces Feedback

Players said the new stage properties were interesting but mentioned that there were no incentives such as Season 2 Magic Night or Season 3 runes, It was noted that stage properties feel like punishment despite the amulets. It was said that tougher stages would be appreciated for more coins. Players really liked the artwork. A player liked the challenge of “Barrier of the Pharaoh” but mentioned that “Cursed Tombs” didn’t have any difficulty.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Season V Amulets Feedback: Shen & Scarab

Players liked the Shen scarab and mentioned liking the reflecting status effect. A few players didn’t see a noticeable difference in the game.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Season V Hero Feedback: Bastet

Players liked the artwork. Players described the Hero as an upgrade to Costume Kadilen. Some thought the Hero was a bit powerful and described as a bit overpowered. A number of players recommended reducing the damage to 190-200%. Other suggestions included changing her speed to average and keeping the special skills. Alternatively, leave at fast speed with lower direct damage. Others thought the Hero was fine and described her as powerful yet balanced. A few players said the Hero was okay as Dodge is random and the stacks are dependent on Dodge.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Season V Hero Feedback: Sekhmet

The players really liked the Hero. They said she was balanced and didn’t need any changes. Some noted that she was fun to use and required strategy.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Hero Feedback: Iku-Turso

Players said the Hero was unimpressive and a comparison was made to Tethys to show the Hero’s shortcomings. They suggested making the direct damage 280% to target and nearby enemies. Another suggestion was made to add more water damage and add one more turn. A suggestion was given to change his class to paladin.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Hero Feedback: Joukahainen

A player said that the class change was better aligned with the Hero’s defensive stats. A player didn’t see much difference with the changed stats but liked the adjusted family bonus.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Hero Feedback: Louhi

Players mentioned not liking the new stats for the Hero and preferred the old stats. Recommendations were made to increase the attack stat to 970.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Hero Feedback: Lemminkäinen

Players liked the burn effect but still thought the Hero was just okay and nothing special. A player noted that Gormek does 295% to target and nearby and Costume Scarlett who does not do as much damage has an attack buff and is fast.

Version 49 Beta 3 - New Event Hero Feedback: Aino

Players appreciated the buff and thought the Hero was now a good Hero. They mentioned that she was better than Raffaele though not quite as good as Ariel. Players liked the cleanse before heal.
