Dupe him a bunch and then do a terrible job at blocking and you'll see it stack like 5 times.

Yes, very dumb. Even the third milestone is 30k, which means probably at least a third to half the alliance will miss out.

How many points were we from #1?We got #6 in the Level up event, top 10!!!

It doesn't show points. I imagine we could try to ask the winning alliance what their score wasHow many points were we from #1?We got #6 in the Level up event, top 10!!!

Not listed yet. Ultimate crystal is essentially a 3* crystal with a rare chance at a 4* champ. Would've been cool but I'm happy with 6th place. Great work guys.How many points were we from #1?Really want an Ultimate crystal, just to see whats in them.We got #6 in the Level up event, top 10!!!

I'd say that turned into a good use of our crystals. Nice reward, especially if I can dup my 3 or 4* The Vision.

So I was friended by a pretty high ranked player (level 50 48.5 PI) and he said how impressed he was with our ranking at our alliance rating. He's considering joining. Pretty cool.

So I mentioned I like the idea of shards for a number of reasons. But also I hoped they didn't use them to nerf rewards.
That seems to have happened. Instead of a PHC at 1500 and 4000 points each in the dupe contest, now it is 1500 PHC shards, or 3/4 of a crystal.
Speaking of which, when we got a full PHC we decided it wasn't worth the crystal points spending PHCs to get the points to hit 4k. We definitely shouldn't be opening PHCs to get there now that the award is even less.

Keep in mind by the time we got the 1500 for what used to be the first PHC milestone, we've already gotten 1000 other shards so it's actually slightly better this way.

So, the rewards for the #6th place finish ONLY give Vision champs(2* and 3*)? Been too long since that Solar even for me to remember.

Nope. Essentially just a different looking PHC. MAYBE a slightly better chance at 3 or 4* vision or I think black widow. I got three 2* dupes out of it.

So I just fought some 4* 4/40s in the arena that were regenerating +150 health and more per second.
I looked at masteries and I'm guessing it was Willpower mastery off to the right on the Defense screen. Regen 1.5% health and gain 3.% armor per detrimental effect. I was using Iron Fist first so as his armor break was giving them regen. Then used Panther whose bleed was giving it to them.
Really sucked, barely beat Colossus with IF and then got beat by Sup Iron man with Panther when his normal regen kicked in. Sucks, killed my streak short of if going infinite easy. :(
That one combined with the masteries that increase all healing could be nasty.

Have fought a number of 4/40 & 5/50's running Double Edge that gives like a 30% increase in attack in exchange for bleeding combined with this regen one. Seems close to break the game lvl unbalanced.

Yes I just found that out. Costs 2 of the cores (550 credits each) to unlock the first level and then 30 credits to put a point in it. Then another core and 30 credits to put the 2nd dot in, and again for the 3rd.
F'ing Kabam.

Footballguy
The ones I faced might have had that as they seemed to be regenerating continually.
I wonder if it works with the poison one that is always on but less damage?
Also have to wonder if they are going to end up nerfing it and screwing us over if we spend credits to unlock them.
GregR
Footballguy
Yeah, have seen the bleed one too a few times. Plus 30% attack in exchange for losing 1% health per second, easy ttade off, especially on champs that regen or with the regen perk. Fights are not going to last more than a minute against 5/50's with 30% more attack.
Another way the rich get richer, going to be hard to get to endless streak if you don't have 4/40's once these masteries become more common.

Did you get Inequity and Resonate? Looked like they could be helpful for Alliance Quests, good physical damage reduction and gives you another proc for Willpower. That's what I'd go for.

I can't see them not changing this going forward. I'm guessing they didn't think of people doing this.

Yea while watching that video I was thinking "I wonder if these guys are going to get refunds when they fix this".
Should be a fun kabam forum battle to watch, with the top alliances threatening to go on strike again

Added 3 tabs to www.tinyurl.com/fbg-crystals for us to add results for the arenas and cornucopia.
Only trying to get an idea of what scores will win which rewards. Anyone can feel free to spice it up or add columns for other stats you want to see compiled. If one of you excel experts knows how to turn the numbers in to a graph I think that'd be pretty slick (if that's even possible with google docs?).

I can give you guys any cut offs if you need them.
For 4* storm this week it was about 1.7 - would overshoot a couple hundred k to be safe.
Top 400 rises weekly it seems. About 4.5 million

Depends. As more people move to vet bracket, if they just play to the 200k milestone then that increases how many people get the 4* reward. So that could keep it more constant, or bring it down slightly for less desired champs. Will be interesting to see.

Not sure if everyone reads the Kabam forums but they announced lots more improvements to the alliance quests coming up:
-------------------------------------
Hi everyone, this week we’ve got further announcements regarding MOAR improvements that we’re making to the Alliance Quests.
Our team is constantly reviewing the results of these events in order to make further refinements. After examining the results of the last Alliance Quests, we are making the following changes:
Starting this week, players in Alliance Quests will see more Crystal Shards as part of their milestone rewards – in fact, we’re doubling the amount of Crystal Shards that are being paid out for milestone rewards. We have reduced gold payouts and further shifted the emphasis to these Crystal Shards instead. We’ve seen that players prefer more meaningful ways to earn Shards for the Crystals that they truly want in the game, as opposed to gold.
We are further reducing the entry fees for all maps. These changes are as follows:
- Map 1 & 2 entry fees are being reduced by 50%
- Map 3 entry fees are being reduced by 38%
- Map 4 entry fees are being reduced by 3%
- Map 5 entry fees are being reduced by 8%
We’re making even further difficulty changes:
- The Map 1 boss that everyone hated (Superior Iron Man), is being swapped out completely. It is now safer to venture out into the quests, so go forth and be brave!
- We’ve reduced the difficulty of Ultron in the first three maps by removing his regen ability entirely
- A 1-tile path was removed from the start of Map 5, which will make it simpler to earn the Alliance Quest Crystal for 100%
- Unstoppable Colossus in Map 5 is going to increase in difficulty, as we want Map 5 to really challenge the Hardcore Alliances. Put your sunglasses on, go through your favourite 80’s movie training montage and be prepared for the Danger Zone!
We have implemented a visual indicator that tells players if they have moved up or down within the tier system once their final scores are calculated.
- This is to help further highlight to players that you CAN move up and progress, and that your results do shift where you are in the Tiers.
- This icon is found under the ‘Rank Rewards’ tab, and is added to the ranks that push players into higher or lower tiers.
- You’ll now be able to see the rank you need to achieve or avoid to move into the next tier or not drop into the lower one
We are also adding an extra level to the metagame.
As a feature unique to this week, a 7 day Alliance Event will be running alongside the Alliance Quest, awarding points for each completion.
- This is to further encourage and incentivize Battlegroup wins.
- We will be giving out 4000 3* hero crystal shards via milestones for this event

Why did they think this is a good idea? Those Ultron quests were so #######g frustrating when you would have to run the entire thing again just to go across one link.
guitarmonkiy
Footballguy
I'm not sure you're referring to the same thing that they are. They're talking about map 5 of the alliance quests.
UOFI_316
Footballguy
Right, but it is the same thing, they make a stupid map with a one tile path somewhere. Whether it is an individual quest map or an alliance quest map, there is no reason for it other than Kabam trying to make money. My guess, having never seen map 5, is that when you send 2 people down each path to play leap frog, with this one tile path, you would need to send a third person down that path just to cut across this spot. Having to send a third person there means another path has one less person.
