Support Report with your new-ish Answerpreneur, Glitch!

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a fantastic week and are amped for the weekend, I know I am!

Today's topic is (drum roll, please) ...Bug Tickets!

Whenever a player writes in about something weird or wonky happening on their game, there is a short list steps we will almost always suggest they try:

- Refreshing the page
- Logging out and clearing their browser's cache (including cookies, history, etc)
- Updating their browser to the latest version
- Checking that JavaScript is enabled (Visit http://www.activatejavascript.org )

These steps may seem tedious to all you technically-minded folk, but you'd be amazed how often problems are resolved by this process, so please considered giving them a try before sending us a ticket.

Also, if you HAVE already tried these or any other steps to resolve or troubleshoot the issue on your side, please include that info with your ticket. It can save a lot of time and helps illustrate what kind of a problem we are looking at.

That's all this week!

Happy World Turtle Day! Turtles are awesome.

really , your not even going to cover the punch line on the awful joke anymore ? for shame . lol

 

Any updates for Blacksmith Crafting???

 

at least tell us which ones you crafting so can do them ive done adventures and dont see why i should waste energy on drops if they aiant getting grafted

 

No updates on that, sorry. I was out sick yesterday but I'll check again with the devs today.

 

I realized too late that the old way of doing it (highlighting the punchline) wasn't going to work on the new background, but I think I've found a reasonable solution for this week's Lame Joke!

 

By the time they do give us the upgrades it will be too late & we won't be able to use them!! It seems to me they could have done it when they did these latest ones for the Folkvang Adventures! They need to realize that it's not just me, they need too take a look at how many more higher levels there are!!!

BTW, I hope you feel better!♥

 

My biggest problem with the new boss is:

Here in Viking clan we kill the bosses mostly for their Random Attack Drops, as we can use up to 20000 warriors and 10000 weapons, but the pattern for the Random Attack Drops is: two bosses with weapon drops and one with warrior drop, making a lot easier to make a lot more weapons.

Even worse, the bosses with the Weapon Random Attack Drops come out come out one after another in way that immediately makes pointless killing the previous boss, as the random drops are slightingly better.

Random Attack Drops:
Ratatoskr: Acorn Sling attack 95 defense 87
The Last Stand of Heimdallr: Bronze Blade attack 96 defense 88

Shadow Valkyrie Shadowswipe Sword: attack 110 defense 110
Orc Bloodchief Rustblade Shield: attack 111 defense 118

The best solution would be to have more bosses with warrior drops, as we need a lot more of them, or at least make the random weapon drops more variated, one balanced more to attack and on the next more to defense.

 

My problem is, the weapons are too WEAK to be used!! THAT'S WHY we need to be able to UPGRADE!!!! (HINT, HINT!!!!)

 

LOL, If they are weak and useless stop doing them )))
Yes, it would be nice to upgrade them, but looks like they have other plans and are sticking with it no matter any feedback.
Now the adventure drops became a lot better, and the boss drops weaker. As I am more practical, I join only the bosses who give me something useful now and not maybe 1-2 years later, and use the rest of my stamina and FPs on bosses who give better XP and lvlup and be ready for the next locations. When they release the elites and legendarys and they will be of any use, I will start making those bosses again.

 

We do have plans to release more Elite and Legendary items for Boss Drops however the creation process for those is a bit different from other crafting items. It's definitely a top priority and as soon as we're able to tackle that we will.
