Group 3220 seems to be the hardest group I've ever faced so far. You'd think that placing on 28th place on the last challenge event would result in an easier group, but no.


Placing in the top 3% of your group should result in an easier one?

I can't imagine there are too many groups. At most 100. I'm in group 223, but 3000 groups seems excessive to me, considering the game is at less than 500k downloads in the playstore.

I placed 168 last week and got a pretty difficult group. The top 10 are all lvl 150+ with teams of several partially awakended legendaries.


Though I honestly doubt placement actually has influence on the next group. In my first week I got a really easy group. I playced 9th, despite being ~lvl 30 and only having around 8000 prestige.
The next week I get in a really powerful with several hundred players outlevelling me a lot, but even here I saw people around lvl 20.

Now I placed 168, much lower than the week before and my current seems to be at least the same caliber as my previous one.

I'm with you on this one, but Leviathan is that giant horseshoe crab thingy. Maybe you've seen it:

And BTW now rank 11-25 for guilds also gives a Summoning Idol, in fact now only difference with rank 4-10 is 35 tokens. Want to get back into the guild Andruids?

It really is a minimal difference in loot... but Stevie's previous post accurately described my attitude. I look for a guild that's strictly focused on gaining prestige. I wouldn't mind daily goals and being kicked out by not keeping up with the rest of the members. You guys have fun and I'll have it my way. Also, my guild's name is DARK SOULS, how awesome is that *_*

New quest is very nice, it's literally raining fire creatures. I'm doing Lord and I've already got more Wyverns than Mothmen/Dancers/Hellbats. My fire crystals reserve is crying.

Also, is it only me, or did the quest map get really smooth? Previously, every time I picked something up, the game lagged for about half second.

On my tablet it lagged, but not on my Phone, but might be possible.

Where do you see your 'group pool' number? I see you guys mentioning 3320 etc but I'm clueless

My leaderboards says group 3220, which I think suggest that there's many more groups than 100. Or it may be the number of players in the group? Who knows, it just says that.

A group always has exactly 1000 players. That's why I doubt the group number is a simple increment. This would mean, there are more than 3 million players and considering creature quest is at less than 500k downloads in the playstore, I consider this to be very unlikely. If we add in ios downloads, I think there are no more than 700k downloads total und perhaps 20% of those are active and activated their dungeon.

Really glad to see that level cap increase, level 50 as a minimum seems all too reasonable. Gotta hand it to you Galaad, you're doing a good job as a leader, keeping the guild nice and tidy with a focus on progression. Even these two guys you invited today seem to be some fine additions. Hopefully, we'll place top 10 consistently soon enough.

@Stevie

Thanks, coming from someone who I know have past experience in MMOs I really appreciate it. I am not always sure I make the right calls all the time but yes your description fits what I'm trying to do. And there's not so many non-Hcers in the guild any longer so it starts being a bit tricky, thus I certainly appreciate if everyone can push a bit more during Legendary Challenges.

@Andruids

Pshaw the only guild name that can rival HC Kreegans is WakeofGods, don't forget this is a Might and Magic forum pal.

I'm on Prince for this event, King clobbers me. Though I did just get a Light Elemental so I might give it another try. The difficulty almost doubles from Lord-Prince-King right? That could be our problem so it requires the right color affinity at the higher tiers to ensure longetivy.


The right color affinity AND the combo multipliers AND good mana management during the fights. No necessarily higher tiers. I could do a Grand Wish quest (the hardest ones) on King without one Legendary with this party.

It is true the difficulty difference between levels is deep, but it doesn't particularly annoys me.


Right right, kinda meant all that but at 4am...y'know...

This was my first guild that I joined, the leader is one mighty b****. They kicked me out days after I topped their chart

So Kreegans FTW!

It seems 250 is the max creature storage you can have. It's greyed out for me in the shop now. Now I actually have to recycle stuff!

Does anybody know how the combo multiplier actually works? It's nowhere close to x4 for 2-dots.

Attacking the same creature with combo and directly after without yields about 50-60% increased damage from the x4 combo.
My healer heals about 200-250% compared to no combo.

Stevie, what's with those 1st levels in your dungeon? They're practically free mana, just lying there for the taking. You'd be better off with filling a basic dungeon outline. Also, I'd suggest something other than a Direwolf. His skill doesn't heal that much. In my opinion, it's a waste of a precious turn, which could be better used for dealing damage.

EDIT: :3

There's a thing about dungeons where you have to fill every slot to give the bosses max stats. True enough, I should switch to 3 room format. I was wondering which one I should go for and since two bosses were in a row I inclined for 5 rooms, but I guess you're right. Either way, I'm really no challenge so it doesn't really matter in the end.

EDIT:
AHAHAHA, that attack You made my day sir

Quote:
When a Creature attacks, it takes its own combo dots plus the combo dots of its color from all the other Creatures that have not attacked yet, and converts that into mana. The mana bar is what powers up a Creature’s special ability. Note that Creatures also gain mana by attacking and killing enemy Creatures.

If a Creature has all of its combo dots taken by other Creatures, then that Creature attains a combo state and gains a multiplier to deal extra damage. The multiplier increases based on the number of unique combo dots that Creature has (1=2x, 2=4x, 3=8x, 4=16x).

Additionally, if a Creature is combo-ing and defeats an enemy Creature, all other combos gain an additional multiplier. For example, the x4 multiplier combo would improve to a x5 multiplier.

This results in a variety of strategies when forming your team – regarding the colors of each Creature, its Special Abilities, its combo dots, and the order in which you attack with each (whether the focus is on filling up mana or getting the multipliers).

Sorry for my low prestige this time around - I got put into a punishing pool where every time I got above around 2100 all my options were 20+ levels higher and had much better creatures than me. That, plus the week of midterms really hurt me.

I will endeavor to do my best and tray to move forward so that I can do better next dungeon challenge.

Thanks for not kicking me out so far, but I will understand if you need my slot for an HC member who is farther ahead than me.


Hey Vancho man really I have no problem if you can't invest right now but I see you still didn't even set up your dungeon, this is the Legendary Challenge, if you have some inconvenience or so please tell us, I can temporarily kick you out for this event and have you back for next one if you want. I don't want to put pressure or anything but I ask you the minimum that you at least play.

Currently I keep the door shut to others for someone who doesn't even logs in, please reflect on this.

Err, Galaad? Did you read, what I wrote? I know, how the combo multiplier is supposed to work, but it's nowhere close to the numbers shown.

Example:
My 2-dot emerald drake hits a yellow monster for 3000 with his basic ability and no combo.
I attack the same monster with combo active, so a x4 multiplier and it hits for around 4500-5000.

Similarily my Tengu heals 700-800 per hit without combo and 1600-1800 with a x4 combo active.

Those numbers don't really correlate to a x4 multiplier, hence my question.

Well yeah I would like to have a great defense too but screw that, seriously. I mean, I can kick people with level 300+ and dungeon full of fully awakened 4 dots. So yeah, I'm not really surprised when mine gets slaughtered.
Still it's best to put your best creatures in dungeon so once in a while some noob will give you extra prestige.

I think everybody understood the only way to rank high in this system is to be very aggressive and keep on attacking at all times with the extra challenge points.
