Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! I could only fight once and then it started glitching. I got some sort of NC item that has to be opened with another NC item. Now I'm at work, so I hope it will be fixed by the time I get home =) ¡FINALLY WAR IS HERE!
Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! yay, grinding those one hit battles, and I really appreciate that they show the cap because I would have gladly grinded each of those minions to 100 just to be sure
Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! 40 wins wouldn't be hard if it wasn't for the lag. I'm getting one hit kills but it takes so long to load the BD that getting up to 40 is still taking a while
Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! 40 kills to get max points is with the hardest setting. It takes more wins the lower the difficulty. Although the hardest setting is still very easy
Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! Yeah, it's 40 wins at mighty difficulty... I haven't got any timed challenges yet though...
Re: WAR CHALLENGERS HAVE ARRIVED! you should add that there are going to be hidden achievements each day. First day: Complete a fight with a pet who is wearing a wig or hat. Any wig or hat, NC or NP should work. Equip any weapon to your pet. Unequipping and re-equipping a weapon will also work. Maybe completing these achievements may give you more reward points? Also, I have fulled up my challenge bar with around 45 battles
Re: Plot Challengers! So what does filling up the bar do, exactly? So far there are no achievements or anything, so I am not sure if it's crucial or not.
Re: Plot Challengers! Filling up the bar is part of the plot achievements. It will net you extra points at the end to spend in the prize shop. It's also assumed that the faction that has the most people completing that part will be the winning faction at the end of the plot.
Re: Plot Challengers! At this stage filling the bar seems silly as everyone can do it... The thing will be hitting the cap when stronger challengers arrive...
Re: Plot Challengers! On the boards there are people talking about how they have hundreds of wins is that even necessary or are they just way too enthusiastic lmfao
Re: Plot Challengers! Lol way too enthusiastic. There's always people that so that. They spend more time doing plot things just in case there's a chance they can get a few more plot points. I don't really like the cap being so low. With the challengers being so weak it's too easy. Not ver "war" like.
Re: Plot Challengers! Nope nothing yet. Usually takes 2-3 days for them to release the next step. And being a weekend now (in Australia at least) I'm guessing they won't release anything else until Monday. EDIT: News released some more info. Expect a new wave of challengers on Sunday. Does this mean TNT works weekends?
Re: Plot Challengers! I have like 1500 wins, I am hoping it provides extra points, if not, no worries, I am running a macro
