There is vengeance to be dealt, Marc Spector. And you have not lost your taste for such things. Have you?
The great thing about this game is that there's always some event going on. Until this bracket event started up, I hadn't tackled the standard map in weeks!

Honestly, I would prefer it sometimes if they had a couple day break. That said, this game also tends to give out daily prizes which is awesome and gives you a reason to play, instead of just aiming for some elusive leaderboard ranking 7 days away.

What the hell is up with the coin pricing? It is 0.99 for 100 and $5.49 for 505. You would figure there would be a discount for buying more.

Also is there ever any bundle deals?

Is it just my phone/rom or are there fairly long loading times on this game? It takes quite a while for the game to boot, and then switching any screens I almost always get a second long loading with the orange cube in the middle of the screen. That pretty much ruins a phone game for me.

I'm running it on a fairly decent gaming rig, and it pegs my CPU temp about 6 degrees Celsius higher then any PC game ever has. I assume that's because it's not using any GPU power, which is fine. At any rate, I have the exact same load times, so I think that is server communication instead of actual load.

As figured I'm getting crushed in echelon 2. I think I'm gonna shoot for 8th place so I can get the 5 pixite. I don't stand much of a chance to get the mucapoors and I don't need the common guy clogging up my box. I hope the next event is this fun.

I've been getting way more points for pvp wins than I feel I should, even with no 2x frenzy activated. It shows you a preview of the amount of points you'll get for a win when you pick which of the 3 opponents you want to fight, right? I've been getting a couple hundred more points than that when I win - what else is a factor?

No, the box above it is a bonus per echelon. Higher echelons give higher bonus points. The last of 3 battles will have an extra fight for a win-streak bonus.

So, so close to first place in echelon 1, but the guy ahead of me is a loving beast. Mid-day, he was 60,000 points ahead of me; now I'm at 111,000 points to his 130,000. Every time I start to catch up, he boosts another 10,000 points or so.

Gave it a good shot, though, and at least I'll get my first epic out of this. Guess I shouldn't be greedy :)

Got two Zalmoxis and enough Laqip to make this Isiratuu. Fun fact: an Isiratuu already exists -- it's that multi-legged lizard rare that evolves from Arwia. Weird.

I guess I'll keep the two epics separate from now as the stats are pretty good (the one in the photo is 39/40). I started the event with about 160 nux bits and I think I have like 30 left. Decided to go all out today and see if I could snag first place!

Finished first in my bracket, but I only made it to echelon 4. Still it was fun to struggle in the early ones only to smoke the competition on the last day.

I just hung back today. I managed to get another mucapor and finished the ranking with a bronze crown. My last 2 echelon were crazy. People throwing around 200k+ score like nothing. Oh well I still had a lot of fun.

So in four days of playing I made it into echelon 1, and of course was completely outleveled. Still managed to finish 7th though. Here's my dilemma, I've got a Mucapor with a SEF of 1 and just evolved another one from the base guys, the two Mucapor are way better then every thing else I have though, I should wait to fuse them until I get something that would replace the extra one, right? Kinda wish I had three now.

Also, now that the pvp is over what do we use the bits for besides bosses?

This is before the fight:


This is after I win it:


I was on a 6 win streak, so this was for win 7. It says i'll get 32 points for beating him, plus (I'd have thought) 250 points for winning the set of 3 (for a 9-win-streak). Instead I got 282 for that win.

Seems like a bug? This was happening constantly, so with 2x frenzy bonus I was getting 600 points per matchup all the time

Pretty sure that's just the Echelon bonus. When you're going for the 3rd win in a set, there are two icons there, and you get your second reward separately.

Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
I had been doing pretty well all day until about 5 hours left when I ran out of leafs and was pushed into 3rd by only 4k points. I then said "ah gently caress it" and take my three Mucapors because I'm not spending money on this to buy bitters. And shortly after the event ended I realize I could have used my Texi to buy bitters and rocket past 2nd and 1st easy since they appeared to have given up with 5 hours to go. Now I have a Brasus with 4/5 SEF and a Mucapor with 4/5 SEF.

I get the feeling that they were only for that event, is that the case or could they show up randomly for pixite? I just need one Brasus :saddowns:

And if anyone was like me and wondered if pixite trading actually could get you elites; yes, yes it can. I got a Neversaw (he's the green Wolverine in a cloak), which is one of the lamer looking ones but seems pretty bawlla nonetheless.

After playing this as much as I have I'm pretty disappointed this isn't just a full fleshed out card battle style game. There's no trading and the 1 energy per 3 min limit is absolute murder. A hour and a half for full bp is fine but with how quickly you go through energy 5 hours is just too much. The game would be way more fun without it but then I guess it's just another way to get people to dump money into it.

No I think the way it looks onscreen is right. You got 32 for the base win and 250 for your echolon bonus giving you your 282. You should have seen an extra red hovering points amount on 3rd/9th etc fights in a row at the top. I know I sometimes did when I was paying attention.

It's the only way the system could work to hand out the prizes it listed for 8 zillion points etc. I just about managed 50k and that was mostly hovering in the mid echolon ranges after barely playing the last couple of days due to not having the nux or the will to spend money to compete properly.

So far most event units haven't repeated. However this week's event does feature a return of what used to be "event"ish units (the Hollyfly --> Witchberry line) so it's possible in the future you'll run into them again. Not only that, but I think the dungeon has some past units I've never had and you can get those from similiths. I keep everything just in case. As for the energy cooldown, etc -- that's just the norm in these kinds of games (except for Fantasica I guess). If you could play whenever you wanted you could just power level yourself in a day anyway.


I'm impressed. The two new dungeons are different than what we've seen before. Even though D.O.T. only really has 3 event types so far (mob raid, PVP, special dungeon) they do seen to find ways to keep it fresh. I tried the first 3* level of the magic dungeon and got owned. :saddowns:

For those who haven't played special dungeons, you can now get doxite and similiths. Similiths are my favorite thing ever. They are a very rare drop after a battle and work sort of like pixite/doxite, except that they will build you the fighter that dropped it. If you're strong enough to do the later dungeons, this means you can potentially win rares from drops.

See, I knew we'd see the return of some old units! Haven't seen a Kaveh in a long time. Clocks, you said the recent eagle drop fused into an existing rare? That's dumb, especially cause I give Arwia's all the time.

Anyone notice the new features? You can now build in increments of 100, and you can view unit stats during battle. There also seem to be gold/silver/bronze crowns at the top of the band screen. Wonder what those signify?

Hey, where did you go!? Do you really dislike seeing my face that much!?
It also marks new units and will group units together when you build like ikuppi x10.

The crowns indicate placement during events. The last event awarded a bronze crown for placing in the top 2000.

Clocks
Oct 2, 2007



No, just that there are two rares named Isiratuu in the game, which is pretty weird.

I see the same crowns I always see - they appear once you've won one once. Or are there others? And I didn't know about the 100 build, can use that on the 150 pixite I have stored up. It's actually a "build all, up to 100" button which is awesome.

I wiped on road 3 of medium tier, but I went back and cleared it again. I think this is my limit. I'm just gonna farm medium tier stages 1-2 for the doxite and hopefully get a rare swordlion to go with my swordrat.

/\/\/\ This. I tried road one on tier three for grins and got my rear end handed to me on the first battle. Made it to mission four on tier two, then wiped, and spent the next hour trying mobage' other games to get coin to replace all of the GLU I lost. Farming doxite is pretty fun, though, I've already upgraded a couple of the commons, though they suck pretty hard. I won't lie, I bought 20bux worth of that stupid currency during the PVP event so I could upgrade SWORDCAT, but I have to say, the rare it turns into is pretty badass.

I'm on 2-5 and I've never been hit once, but I guess I've been playing more than you guys. I anticipate being able to finish the 2* missions with no difficulty. I tried 3-1 and about 3-4 fights in half my fighters were dead so I exited out. Those 3* dungeons are brutal.

They buy lots of bitters. Those are 100 energy, so about 6-7 fights each. They're most likely doing the 3* dungeon which gives slightly more experience as well.
