Yea well, I am saving but... my goodness, another one with 3 legendaries in one multi summon. I thought we'd share the burden of being unlucky together, but I guess you're a normie now
Still, I am very happy for you! Really congrats. I hope to be leaving strug city myself one day, preferably sooner rather than later.

I would say we are not that far apart, apart from the fact that a Pheonix might be better than a Chimera.

Having the extra red bosses only really helps for the green quest, I don't have enough gems to do much with them for defense. On top of that I honestly think I am better off with my first boss wave being the awakened Light Elemental. If I have two red bosses it will just open me up to someone owning me with a good blue creature (FREAKING STEGO BOSS! How I HATE that thing).

You have certainly had worse luck though, can't argue there.

Okay, the Pheonix is amazing.
I have no experience with the Chimera though. Is its ability any good?

I have only fought against, much easier to beat down than a Phoenix. Stevie has one, I think I recall him saying he found it rather meh.

This is what I said about the Chimera.

Stevie said:
Not all, just one, the rest were done previously. The legendary I have is an Eldritch Chimera which I got from an idol, totally unexpected occurrence. And even so, it's not really that great of a legendary, it has an Assassin tome, deals 100% power damage and 50% in burn damage to one target and the snakes poison for 50% damage 4 other random targets. It's not bad and I quite like it, but burn and poison can be resisted and it sucks when it happens. Otherwise it destroys water creatures, pretty good versus bosses.

The Pheonix may be OP...... It's only downsides are that it is a bit squishy compared to others (although the self heal takes care of that) and the fire can be resisted.

It sucks that you have had such horrendous luck Stevie. I wish there was something that could be done about it.

Gnoll was my first "good" character, glad to hear he may still work in Dungeons. Thinking of maxing even though he's only 2* as it'll also make my Demon Beserker basic work better.


Wait the end of event, you may get a 3 or 4 dots one, not guaranteed but who knows. Yes, assassins are the best damage dealers it seems.


IT WORKED! Kinda... I got a 3 dot 2* Tengu lol

I'll take it

And it is not the only one.

This is imo a good thing for this type of game, more variety, more magic. Luck is powerful and turns around.

Agreed, I would be disappointed if they went and nerfed some of the more powerful creatures.

I'm really unhappy with some parts of this game...

I like the overal game it has a very cool and fun basic.

BUT.

Making almost EVERY freaking monster uncatchable is just a cheap way of making money.

I don't care if you take away the big hitters in the game like phoenix, all those dragons and giants and all others most regular people do murders for.

But making Tengu, Dire Wolf, Elementals, Harpy, Water Horrors, Gorgons and COckatrices (and much more, sirens, jiangshi, manticore too much to mention) all totem summons and event creatures is insane, it makes me kinda bored with the game at times, knowing you can't catch those creatures....
PE-LEASE. Just focus on the big guys such as those giants and dragons to make money from.

It makes the game so much more fun. Really. Also DON'T add minotaur, medusa and unicorn and dark elf to the Giant and Dragon herd, make them rare monsters instead not legendary.

This weeks event is boring, really I don't even want that Ogre and Gnoll, and NO OTHER FREAKING monster even dropped for me at all. All those Dark Elves and other cool creatures only torture my eyes, and so far I played this event like 10 times and no ogre drops at all, only 3 gnolls which you can catch anyway as I catched some in the previous event.

Also this event doesn't add to the money at all, you have to pay for donkey and catapult, and the money you find doesn't make up for that so You kinda lose a bit of money in the end, unlease you get a money bonus.

Very cheap event, hope to never see it again.


Dire wolf drops at 'A bards tale' or whatever it's called, where you have to beat the rocking cyclops, there is a building where you fight a giant dire wolf and it occasionaly drops.

Same counts for a lot of other creatures but no epics or legendaries of course, which does make sense to me, It would be lame if you can get them very easily (although I would kill for a new legendary, I dare to say mine are worse then Stevie's . I really want a stegosauras, seems overpowered  and would help me steamroll the overload of phoenixes in the dungeons

EDIT: okay the vampire is pretty good but gets easily killed by the overload of light ellementals it seems. On the other hand it helps me defeating light elementals in defending dungeons

I am receiving a lot of error messages like: "Sorry, we are unable to complete the specified action at this time. If the problem persists, please try again later." Are the servers under heavy load or something? I click challenge players and get this error maybe more than 5 times before it goes through!

I can check up on this; we do get a LOT more traffic towards the end of the Dungeon Challenge events, though.

I could never kill the awakened ones, or actually I did, but then rebirth! And hop paf the last ones standing die.
I just can't wait to awaken mine, been grinding the Red Wish today.

I'm curious, if you can tell, how many people are playing Creature Quest on average?

Edit Oh yeah quick question, do Awakened Turtle Drakes also deal extra damage to their opposite colors or is it only Dragon Drakes?

The game moves so much smoother now that the event is over, PvE included. I can't believe it's unrelated.

Yay I can pass the Red Wish on King now.

White healer, dark assassin, 3 blue creatures with two buffers and the Cobra. No legendaries, combo multipliers and mana working for everyone.

Can you elaborate? Do you just farm red crystals, or is there a chance to find Fusion essence or a coloured chest in Grand Wish quests?

Also, if you're reading this HungryDragon, I have a suggestion for a feature. Getting basic evolution materials (shards) is quite tiresome. You have to come back for the lowest tier quests and on higher levels it's an utter waste of time and energy. I'm constantly out of at least one colour. If you could 'crush' a better material (e.g. sigil or a runestone) to get a random number of the basic ones, that would be splendid.

Dungeon defense is a nightmare.
But basically, what matters most for dungeon defense is number of dots like HD confirmed, so quickly settled.
Still, better fully maxed out 2 dots creatures or lower than swiss cheese defense with a bunch of lvl1s waiting.

Raenus said:

I think that the best way to build a dungeon will be to go for high damage, nuking creatures. I have not run into a Dungeon I can not defeat in a while, the closest I have come to defeat is when they have things like Light Elementals or Gnolls.

I think the Create-A-Lair (dungeons) aspect is one of the best features in this game alongside the RPG style quests and makes the game stand out from the crowd. It allows for an alternative collection method for Epic+ creatures that Rakshasa was looking for, it's a low impact PvP arena that doesn't require participation for premium in-game currency as we can earn them many other ways, utlizes more of our early and mid-game roster preventing the formation of "Meta" teams which always seem to kill the fun for FTP players.

I for one am loving the guided strategic maps and look forward to its eventual evolution with bigger, more varied formations and fuller usage of the monsters (and their combo dots) hint hint HungryDragon

HungryDragon

A few more questions after reviewing my roster:

Q: Are all the monster special attacks different in name?
A:

I haven't come across any dupes, kudos for that, quite a feat.

Q: Will Special Attacks be a rerollable feature later?
A:

I hope not as I don't think it'll help the "catch-em-all" aspect of our gameplay.

Q: Is Special Attack order sequence specific in its actions as it is written in its text? For instance Wyvern's team buff is listed before its attack opposed to others that list buff after the attack implying that Wyvern would increase its own attack damage beforehand.
A:

Q: If an attack hits a single target multiple times, will each hit have its own chance to be a critical?
A:

Q: Are there any plans to create a playable Legendary Boss that can conjure allies for Dungeon Defense Boss Rounds as there are in quests?
A:

Q: Can a table or information summary be released to advise how many gems it takes to level a monster to a given level using basic 1x parameter?
A:

I want to evolve my Legendary from 4*-5* but fear running out of gems leaving it weaker than it is now.

Trying a new format to make it easier to answer question onslaughts

I can answer one: yes, each type of damagahe has it's own chance to crit.

Example: bruiser attack (2x)
Example 2: gnoll special attack (12 x iirc)
