[strange stone]

I'm still waiting for a nova one. I have like 8m xp between econ and mil to use 😂

[exotic compass]

For capture the flag, do you need to be within an alliance before the event signups start, or only before the battle starts?

[alpine siren]

before the signups starts

[delicate mirage]

By the end of signup period which is a little longer than a day and a half.
By Tuesday about 16 hours after reset.

[dry grove]

You can even sign up with your alliance. Then leave and join another one. Do some seed trading there. Sign up there. Then leave and go back to your original alliance and sign up again.
The first two sign ups do absolutely nothing, but you are not stuck with the first alliance you sign up with, if you manage to sign up with a different one before the sign up period ends.

[exotic compass]

Thank you. Just verifying it is not like Showdown.

[rough vault]

Is showdown this week or this is an off week?

[ornate coyote]

Showdown is not this week. But the following.

For a calendar of events: #🗓regular-events message

[rough vault]

Thank you!!

[ornate coyote]

No worries. Best of luck!

[trim niche]

When is core day? The regular Lady M event? This week or next?

[narrow finch]

It's both North American Wednesdays

Ace week its sim training. Off week it's opening core boxes.

[trim niche]

Thanks!

[ornate coyote]

Repinning from the archived DOA/DR channel. Potential waves for Dead Rising Levels 6-8

[somber berry]

do we know the might for new Sonic ?

[delicate mirage]

If you click on Start, you can scroll and see the mights per level

[formal birch]

So speaker is 21- 80m... 22-120m... 23-200m

[rich sentinel]

Does anyone know if this new update allows you to move players around in Capture the Flag or just allows you to adjust around lanes. If not we need to allow R5 or Officers to move players around and just not adjust the lanes.

[delicate mirage]

Yes, officers can move individual players.

[rich sentinel]

Thanks appreciate it

[azure moss]

This might not be the right page but I didn't see one for destroyer.. but anyone in a state that tries to help people get the destroyer achievement? What methods do yall use?

[strange stone]

The doa-destroyer channel was removed. It's very difficult to get everyone to work together for that. Usually only folks that are already within the top 10 is feasible. It takes mailing everyone stronger than the person that wants the achievement to hold back and for them to agree on it.
I was able to do that when I moved to a state and was 3rd or 4th place destroyer normally. Just had to do the legwork.

I've never really heard of a state that works towards that, so I'd be curious to see how other folks have done it, if at all.

[azure moss]

My state has had some success.. and some failures lol were currently on a 6 week failure streak and some are getting frustrated at the lack of people paying attention. So just was trying to see if there was some other method or ideas that we haven't tried yet

[delicate mirage]

What are you doing?
It is about talking to people. Asking them nicely, and reminding them (maybe less nicely) that they only need to do 1 run on destroyer each week.

Maybe try bribing them with brownies and cake for being a team player 🤣

[azure moss]

At first we had a designated list, worked for a while going in order of strength and who didn't have the achievement. Then we hit a bump where the person who's turn it was got out hit for like 8 weeks in a row😅 so we changed it up and said no list, those that have achievement cap points at 600b, those that don't hit full and whoever hits hardest gets and then joins the 600b group. That worked a bit but some of the bigs got frustrated since destroyer is a big source of xp. So we're still on the 600b method but alternate, wk weekend is achievement week, vc is full hits week. We try to have r5s send alliance mail, we send mails DURING wk and have gov put it bulletin. Some even go so far as park their farms right next to destroyer with the name ACHIEVEMENT WEEK and some people still don't pay attention and mess it up🤦‍♀️

We haven't successfully gotten a new person the achievement since December and some are getting frustrated

[chilly lynx]

😇

[rotund beacon]

Seems you have a good system in place, people are just ignoring it, gotta talk to them and understand why, I know bigs from my state hate holding back, but the 2 week rotation worked for us

[wintry anchor]

We've been doing the two-week rotation.

[tight berry]

It helps to add all the players that have gotten the achievement and those are up for it soon into an in-game group chat and also a designated person in charge of mailing who’s next. It’s worked for us just going down the order of destroyer points and once every few weeks or so we all hit full for fun/to see the updated rankings.

But all the bigs in our state’s accounts are old enough to where the xp isn’t really a big deal.

[azure moss]

Yea this is what we did at first but it changes so often when people come and go, and we got stuck on the same person for like 2 months because others wouldn't pay attention and would out hit her. That's when we changed to the system of if you already have the achievement hold back, if you don't then go hard and if ya win ya win. It's as simple as were going to get it I think it's just boiling down to people not paying attention, and that's not for lack of notice unfortunately lol

[viscid dove]

In capture the flag, if you are signed up, have already participated in a battle or two, need to leave the alliance to re-pay resources, return to your alliance, do you lose the flag rewards if your alliance wins?

[delicate mirage]

The rules say you do, but I’ve left and come back before and still got my battle rewards and final rewards.

I think the rules mean if you are not in the alliance at the time of battle you do not get rewards

[viscid dove]

Ok, thank you!

[proud torrent]

DOA is fkd up! Haven't considered small alliance before the upgrade. We used to reach 14 easily. We hardly reach 12 now. Little change in rewards is fine but the difficulty should have remained same.

[formal birch]

There was major change in the rewards which makes them upping difficulty understandable

[swift echo]

3.5 years in the making to update it. Thankfully

[formal birch]

I find it so much more fun now

[ornate coyote]

Yeah…. It needed an upgrade in both rewards and difficulty.

[misty radish]

The rewards are better now. So getting to 12 in new DOA is better than getting to 14 in old DOA.

[narrow finch]

I enjoyed it. It's nice they adjusted so the t12 and 13 are challenged now as well. We just need to figure how far we can go solo before we need help from others.

[proud torrent]

Sad we don't have t12 or t13 in our alliance and we are a very small group!
Should have rather set levels like dead rising where we can select the level based on players we have in alliance.

[narrow finch]

That's essentially what it is...whatever chest you reach is what level your alliance can do.
We're not a large alliance either, and we don't have any t12/13 yet, but a couple are an upgrade away from 12s. I think we got to wave 12.
It's not just the tier of troops you have though, it's also how many are online to participate. In this, international alliances with split event times maybe don't have it as good as they did before.

[proud torrent]

That's right too. Just need another 3-4 events to get used to it 😅

[misty radish]

The upgraded rewards make it more or less the same. If you finished wave 12 in the new DOA, that is better than finishing wave 14 in the new DOA. Every box contains chip or glory now.

[slim hill]

When diamond shop come?

Or where I can see all pns events timetable?

[delicate mirage]

There are calendars pinned to this channel.
Diamond shop is next weekend

[slim hill]

When is hero frag task in break loose?

[narrow finch]

Whenever it pops up. Break loose is random.

[slim hill]

Alright 👍

[rotund beacon]

It's random, but hero BL only pops up on the first slot. Here's a chart with last year's summary:

#🗓regular-events message

[dull wind]

We just went in order for the top 10. First backed off on week 2, then top two backed off following week… and so on until all top 10 in state got a turn for the win. Had a group chat with r5s to confirm who was up each week and who needed to back off. Worked well.

[raven valve]

For Capture the Flag - if you are below the bottom 20 after sign-ups, can you adjust your troops after the fact to move into the top 20 and fight? Or are the 20 set and only those can be adjusted?

[wintry anchor]

If you will be in the top 20 in one of the other columns you can move

But you can move regardless

[neat monolith]

anyone know when is core day?

[formal birch]

You mean like right now lol

Sims training is this day ace week

[timber tiger]

Anyone know if it says "no opponent" in Flag Capture, can we still be able to receive rewards?

[split coral]

I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the rewards for the different levels of DR. For level 9 even when getting 100% on every attack without sending reinforcements out you can't get full points but you can on level 8. So I'm wondering if it's worth it to still do 9 and miss the last box or go back to 8 to get all the rewards

[untold hawk]

I would think it would result in a "bye", which should be an automatic win for your alliance... But sometimes PnS marches to their own drummer.

[narrow finch]

And I think the drummer is a drumstick short of a full set!

[timber tiger]

Thankyou

[wintry anchor]

Score keeps going up. 😁

[formal birch]

Niccceee you make me feel so tiny lol

[untold hawk]

This will make you feel bigger...

[wintry anchor]

As long as that score keeps going up it makes me happy. That's the only thing you should be looking at

My only goal is to beat myself every week

[formal birch]

Bahahaaha thanks still feels small I went up 55b damage this week though

[wintry anchor]

That's not a tiny amount of damage to go up. I'd call it a win

[formal birch]

It's a nice score for sure

It's all the t12s carrying that score of mine xD

[wintry anchor]

Do you have a full March yet? Just wait until you get that

[formal birch]

No I do not I think im 40k troops left till a full march

[viral helm]

ruins treasury?

[swift echo]

Soon.

No exact date

[strange stone]

There's no other events to get points from the enhancers and promoters from ToS before it ends right? If I counted right the last day to claim will be new development?

Or wait does it end on gear day?

It's for sure safe to claim everything except gear stuff I guess but I'll wait for someone to confirm whether it ends on new development or gear day.

[viral helm]

okioki

[mighty kite]

Yeah, gear

[strange stone]

Thanks for the confirmation. After recounting I was almost positive it ended during gear day but it was late and needed my brain double-checked 😂

[strange stone]

For flag capture, can I leave the alliance and come back before matchmaking starts without losing my participation? I don't mind signing up again if I lose that but I just want to make sure I can still participate.

[faint apex]

Yes, you just have to remember to resign up

[strange stone]

Thanks.

[chrome verge]

Can you keep the sakura?

[delicate mirage]

Yes. But it hasnt always used the same one when the event repeats

[bitter jolt]

How old does your state need to be to start getting 777 event?

[candid atlas]

Next merchant event?

[delicate mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/youretheworst-paul-jillian-lindsay-jillian-in-the-future-someday-gif-19713854

[formal birch]

Add another 2 weeks worth of waiting

[compact marlin]

Weren't usually ironclaw frags an prize at the shovel event?

[delicate mirage]

Usually. Nothing is ever guaranteed and they make changes often to evaluate player response

[swift echo]

It’s been a couple times where there hasn’t been IC

[jovial birch]

Hey does the shovel event have a rotation? Or is it random if it’ll be match/hq/ambience?

[formal birch]

It's only been hq and ambiance and it's random it's timing since it's an irregular event

[jovial birch]

Thanks

[mental iris]

For flag capture, if you’re demoted before the week ends will the final reward be for the league you’re in for flag capture or your new league?

[delicate mirage]

To the best of my memory, it is based on the league at the start of flag.

[storm jackal]

Usually a Claw box at 300.

[brave silo]

Anyone know if you can save the shovel's from this event till the next one, or will they be converted?

[delicate mirage]

Can save them

[brave silo]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[north sorrel]

Is there a strategy guide for doing DoA?

[misty radish]

There used to be one in the DoA channel but the entire channel was removed. What wave are you getting to?

We've found that it's best to have each player concentrate on 1 or 2 zombies to ensure that you're clearing that spot quickly. Since scores don't really matter, you don't need folks jumping all over the map, leaving some zombies not killed.

[formal birch]

Making sure to spread out strong hitters as well this will prevent neglection of zombies once it starts getting roung. DoA is more difficult now we only get through 13 levels.

[north sorrel]

Was confirming, that's what we do, thanks ❤️

[tacit charm]

Does anyone know how to deactivate the red sign for Flag Capture is annoying every time we log on to have the sign on in the upcoming events

[weak jetty]

I don't think you can get away from the big red dot..

[visual chasm]

Anyone know about how many points you today need for Ace rank in the top 0.5%?

[delicate mirage]

There isnt a 0.5% rank for daily. Just a 1% daily rank. It is usually around 8m points

[visual chasm]

Should gave clarified - I meant total rank for the week. I went wild yesterday and just wanted to know how much I need to do for the rest of the week.

[brave light]

Apex, why would I get paired against same person more than once in first round

[delicate mirage]

Around 145m for the week

[delicate mirage]

It happens

[brave light]

I know but it shouldn't 🤣

[visual chasm]

Thanks 👍!

[jagged cipher]

does anyone remember the leah wheel event or am i making that up ?? 😭

if so, do you think it'll ever come back? i think it was a little under a year ago, and i've only been playing for about a year so i'm not sure if maybe it's a semi regular thing

[formal birch]

Scam wheel pretty sure it was removed once they put our events back to normal

[jagged cipher]

whaaaaat i won some good things from that and i was ftp at the time

[formal birch]

It was pretty crap imo and I'm glad it was removed well if it fully was.

[delicate mirage]

The significant majority of players expressed strongly negative feedback to diamond wheeel, despite some isolated positive rewards

[jagged cipher]

okay lol 🌚

[stable basin]

With ruins treasury do they change the jackpot every time or is it ambience now

[formal birch]

It rotates between hq skins and ambiance you will never know which one it is till it shows up

[stable basin]

Yeah sorry i scrolled up and saw

Was planning to get the dragon skin looks like more saving

[formal birch]

Hq skin ruin treasury I prefer jackpot is easier to get thats how I have my halloweenia skin

[jagged cipher]

how is it easier? do you use less shovels to get it?

[formal birch]

You get jackpot within 200 shovels. Think ambiance is 300 I think. I hit a couple jackpots and I shoot for at least 250 ap refills. I also never have ap for ambiance tho. But ambiance doesn't have ironclaw or p3s lol

[jagged cipher]

sweet! i finally got vip13 so I'm going to save my diamonds as much as I can haha

[formal birch]

250 ap is for top bar. 416 ap is for all shovels

[dry grove]

I've got my ambience from 385 shovels, and we had some in my state who needed more than 400 shovels this time.
but it is worth it for me, because I have a nice little hq and ambience combo.
the snow world ambience with the christmastadt hq skin.

hopefully next time im gonna be able to get the 'Merry Christmas' hq skin. I prefer that one in xmas theme but I did not have enough AP/ stamina when it came out so could not unlock it

[formal birch]

Oh not saying it's not worth it I want full moon one day but missing out on ironclaw and p3s just gives me no motivation to go so hard in ambiance ruin treasury

I also want that ambiance to match my snowglobe too

[dry grove]

I don't have a single 9star gcmc yet so I don't really need to worry about the p3s. and IC.. well.. I will need to work on him soon. IC+2 is not good enough

[dry grove]

and yeah. that snowglobe is the hq skin i want

[formal birch]

I'm on 9 star Chips so will eventually need p3s lol

[formal birch]

I went ap broke over it. Cause ruin treasury came 4 weeks later so I got that and halloweenia in 4 weeks lol

[rigid jetty]

Literally took 438 shovels to hit my jackpot, friend of mine hit it in 179.

Used all 528 ap refills on this ruins 🤪.

[formal birch]

179 is about where I got my hq skin in the other ruin treasury knowing my luck doing this one I'd go through all 510 shovels and nada lol

[rigid jetty]

Same with the last treasure ruins about 185 for jackpot. Got my promote 3s. Im sad they removed the iron claw frags from ruins. Will they comeback or is it set this way now?

[formal birch]

Ironclaw and p3s is hq skin ruin treasury

[misty radish]

There are two different versions of shovels. One with HQ skins, IC frags, and P3. The other is with ambiences, which is what we just had.

[rigid jetty]

Oh i didn’t realize. Thank you!

[misty radish]

Ambience shovels is harder as it's 0.4% chance of jackpot and guarantee of 300 shovels after unlocking tier 4.

[formal birch]

Ambiance ruin treasury is cool but lacks the good stuff

[rigid jetty]

I see that now, ill just save up another 500 ap for next one. 😃😃

[formal birch]

416 ap refills will do it for all 500 shovels

[rigid jetty]

Oh i know, i just save 500+ for ruins because i want a lot of goodies. 😂

[wraith monolith]

Can anyone explain this better?
Especially the # and % columns?
Thanks

[formal birch]

It's how often it showed up last year

[wraith monolith]

Awesome, thanks 🙂🌸

[ornate coyote]

Yes. As Blue mentioned its just a summary of how often each phase showed up within 2023 in comparison to the other phases. It also shows the expected time they will likely show up during the day.

As of the end of March here is the summary for 2024: #🔥game-general message

If you were looking for a (slightly outdated) point chart: #🗓regular-events message
(missing the point changes to troop training and organ modifiers)

[wraith monolith]

Thanks for the information 🙂👍

[pallid bobcat]

So awesome you have done that effort, thank you kato ❣️

[plain ibex]

Anyone have a schedule for this week? I'm trying to remember which day is core day.

[neat monolith]

Does anyone know or remember if we can still edit our troops after match up and sign up is done for flag capture? If im in the wrong channel , im sorry. 🫣

[formal birch]

Pins

[delicate mirage]

There are several calendars pinned to this channel. And core day is Wednesday

[plain ibex]

Thanks!

[delicate mirage]

You can edit them later. I think anytime except during the match prep right before battle

[neat monolith]

Thankyou.

[formal birch]

You can't change your troop size once you are locked in thats all I know bout flag

[delicate mirage]

I’ve added mega in the past when I forgot.

[formal birch]

When I got hq size it wouldn't let me after we were signed up

[chrome saddle]

Does super reinforcement work in dr?

[delicate mirage]

No

[regal nimbus]

Anyone knows how many nanotubes are needed to go from 35-38

Asking for friend lol I forgot what 35-37 needed

[formal birch]

Nanotubes is only 36 up. I don't have the pre reqs but I got a sheet for 5 star builder gear of all buildings and their tubes if youd like it

[ornate coyote]

Here's an outdated chart 🤣
It was made before the change to T13s and doesn't include the Horizon Hub.

#🔥game-general message

[spice lily]

Anyone know when the next distress signal event is please

[formal birch]

Nope it's an irregular event

[spice lily]

Damn… thanks for the reply

[swift echo]

Technically we just had a fake one

[formal birch]

I actually liked that fake 1 I got alotta Hanna frags

[astral fiber]

Does anyone have suggestions for ultimate challenge 262? I’m pretty similar to the lower selection of heroes from players in our state that passed it but am not having any luck. Here’s the lineups that beat it followed by what I have available:

I can’t seem to make any headway with any combination yet that bottom set that has passed is pretty average. Did they just get extremely lucky?

[rotund beacon]

Isn't that 261?

[swift echo]

Wish we could go back and look like we used to

[stone lava]

Is that the level with the many tiny guys in front and the boss that recasts def boost? If so, I remember ditching Mantis since Nataly removes enemy buffs already. I think I'd skip Levina too for Angelo and Dara just so you can get as many tile hits in as possible before they get their def boost back. Use Nataly, Ironclaw, Angelo, and Dara when they are all ready for best combo damage and use Marlowe for defense. Also, ignore the boss in the back. He doesn't do any damage once the little guys in the front are dead

[stone lava]

Since I just did the computation for somebody in the alliance, I thought I'd share. Expected number of shovels to sanctuary skin or ambience is 314. Distribution looks as follows:

25% - 180 shovels
50% - 265 shovels
75% - 395 shovels
90% - 562 shovels
95% - 688 shovels
99% - 979 shovels

[astral fiber]

Thank you, I will look into that

[mental peak]

that’s for the amb right? skin should need fewer shovels i think

[formal birch]

Hq is within 200 shovels. And ambiance within 300. Once top tier is unlocked. So putting their probabilities in the same chart kinda off and inaccurate. I'm also curious which one this is for

[stone lava]

Oh, that's right. I completely overlooked point 3 in the description. Above probabilities are without a guarantee after x tries on tier 4. Here are the numbers with the guarantee.

HQ skin: expected number of shovels required is 253.7. The distribution is

25% - 180 shovels
50% - 259 shovels
75% - 316 shovels
90% - 369 shovels
95% - 406 shovels
99% - 487 shovels

(edited out incorrect part)

[misty radish]

Why is the distribution the same at 25%?

[stone lava]

because the guarantee doesn't take effect in either case at 180 attempts

[misty radish]

But the chance of hitting the jackpot is different for each version of Shovels

[stone lava]

Is it? okay, this is the first time I actually looked at these probabilities. I should edit out the ambience then

[stone lava]

I should clarify: the above calculation is for these numbers

[mental peak]

this sounds more like it. thanks for sharing 👍

[misty radish]

I don't have a screenshot of the Ambience odds handy but I believe everything is the same except that it's 0.40% to hit the jackpot and a guarantee max of 300 shovels after you unlock tier 4.

[formal birch]

That looks alot better

[mental peak]

yes that is correct

[stable basin]

So shovel event is 300 enough for the jackpot?

[rotund beacon]

Not necessarily, but it's enough for all the rewards if you're aiming for Ironclaw frags

[stable basin]

I am looking for a new skin really

[rotund beacon]

Well, here are some calcs on the jackpot: #🗓regular-events message

[distant mesa]

So To Get 500 shovels..do i Need 46 Ap Box?

And As a VIP 10/11. Can i Use All those Ap Boxes?

[stable basin]

Vip 11 you can use 12 ap a day

Over 3 days will only be 36

[distant mesa]

So with out VIP 13 i am Fooked anyway 🤣

[stable basin]

Well no you can load before the event but event comes randomly i think

[distant mesa]

The VIP i am in is 10. But will hit 11 in this Week

So i will still need 750 + days Organically to get to VIP 13 😁

[rotund beacon]

VIP 13 is worth the diamonds investment, IMO

[misty radish]

You can also buy 100 VIP points from Alliance Shop. That's what I did daily for a long time.

[stable basin]

Does ruins treasury happen randomly or does it have a set amount of weeks?

[mental peak]

very random

[brave silo]

In the scorched earth event, are the bomb placements random or in a fixed position?

Seems like the first few floors it's always in the same place

[formal birch]

Random

[mental peak]

the exits are not placed in fixed positions. every time you use a bomb there is a certain chance to find exit. this is similar to doomfest, the top tier rewards are not shuffled to a fixed position.

[latent storm]

So in capture the flag event, does anyone know how that might number is calculated. Aka where to find it to check if mega march was used. It does not correlate with anything in war hall in troop set up.

[delicate mirage]

Pretty imaginary number. Don’t read too much into it except as a rough comparison.

[lunar saffron]

Hope PNS never brings back the stupid GEM game. Dumb dumb dumb. As money hungry as they are, not sure how any spending any $$ on it

[formal birch]

I enjoyed it

[swift echo]

You don’t have to spend on it. It’s a choice…..

[delicate mirage]

I didn’t love it. But also didn’t hate it.
It was way better than horrible Beach Tiles

[formal birch]

It's like 1 of those things that is just there to kill time which is why I like when we have mini games

[delicate mirage]

Yup. Happy to win. Happy to ignore.

[swift echo]

Not like the beers mean anything to me

[formal birch]

I mostly liked the beers for rss

[delicate mirage]

I got to 19 for free. Wont say no to it

[swift echo]

Free diamonds

[ornate coyote]

I didn't mind it. I do prefer these type of events where it's multiple levels "master" type events. Rather than the 2 level ones

[formal birch]

I actually prefer normal beach tiles cause I can get training soeedies I'd I lose

[shy heart]

Does a player need to be at hq12 before alliance trial starts to participate, or could they upgrade to 12 during day 1 and still get in?

[night tide]

You can participated once your hq is 12. Doesn't matter what day it is 🙂

[terse drum]

Anyone know roughly how many love coins you need for Valentines event and permanent skins?

[delicate mirage]

Can be as high as 1000 coins.

Assuming you only get the base 500 flowers per 50 spin.

[terse drum]

Oh damn! Thank you for answering

[latent storm]

I’m tired of apex match always matching me with the top 5 accounts on state multiple times and getting knocked out and horrible ranking while much weaker accounts get ranked really high. How the hell do they do these match ups. It’s ridiculous. And it never matches me with some people on state I would love to see how I compare too. Ugh they need to do better with the pairing.

[formal birch]

I mean you want the best in state to be on top in general to take your state on to win. I get paired with bigs all the time it's going to happen. Some weeks more than others. I by no means am large and got through 8 wins 2 loses other weaks it's worst. I noticed you get paired with people somewhat close to you in ranking.

[raven valve]

Hey all, to schedule DoA to start at a certain time in advance, do you put in how many hours and minutes until you want it to start? So if I want it to strart 2 hrs after reset I would put 1 hr 17 mins to get it start 2 hrs after reset from now? I just dont want to stuff it up as its my first time having to schedule in advance in case noone is on who can start it

[urban mango]

Has DoA gotten a bit easier after the update? Wondering if it was just us feeling that way.

[wintry anchor]

Last night felt a tiny bit easier. I was able to solo monsters up until 13

[rotund beacon]

I can solo 13, but need 4 marches for it 😬

It's a big jump from 12

[wintry anchor]

I was saying one hit 13. 14 is when I have to start sending more than one

[rotund beacon]

Nice 💪

[formal birch]

Maybe everyone's getting stronger and adjusting to new DoA👀😂

[wintry anchor]

I like this idea much better then they made it weaker again

[formal birch]

I think it's my idea combined with we can change the troop type in front now

That was soooooooo helpful today

[wintry anchor]

That really wasn't affecting me much because my highest tier troop is riders so it wasn't sending anything else

[formal birch]

Mine was a bit of a mess I had my 12s then fighters that kept filling in afterwards lol

Not being full 12 yet this is nice

[celest slate]

Based on my crappy math. Nanoweapon Key event, on average it's $1K worth of Nanoweapon Keys to get an Apex. May the RNG Gods be in your favor.

[civic nacelle]

I just heard a rumour that the troops that are set up at the start of flag capture influence the opponents you get. Means some alliances set up taxis to get easier opponents.
The rules say it different though that the opponents you get are coincidentally depending on the current grade the alliance has.
Is there something about the rumour above or is it just a rumour and nothing more than superstition?

[formal birch]

Sounds like just a rumor since flags affinity is attached to water wars

[swift echo]

I’m not sure you can change it after it starts can you?

[wintry anchor]

I can confirm that this is most likely completely a rumor because we've had the same opponents bar one or two alliances since the event begin.

And our lineup is very different from what it used to be

[junior python]

Is it possible to make it to lvl 24 in Marquest Request without spending ? Or has anyone done the math on how much it would cost?

[civic nacelle]

Thank you! Thought so just wanted to be sure 😅

[tight berry]

You need 5000 points or around 1000 pieces. Will need to spend

[warped finch]

Anyone know what day sim training is for break loose?

[formal birch]

Break loose is random. No gaurenteed day.

[warped finch]

Do you know if there is a sim training day other than during Ace?

[formal birch]

Day 3 ace I sims training. Day 3 off week I core upgrade. Schedules in the pins

[brave silo]

Use lair boxes on the break lose event for nova points, or save for gear day?

[formal birch]

Yes. Gear isn't gaurenteed and can screw off lol

[delicate mirage]

Better points for Gear Day

[brave silo]

Hmm okey, thank you 😊

[delicate mirage]

A lair box (45 or higher) gives 2,900 nova points per box.
A lair box gives an average of 5000 gear points per box (based on opening batches over time).
I usually open 5 lair boxes at a time.

[brave silo]

Oh, that is awesome information, will be stored in the pnw info bank. Thank you 🙏🏻

[formal birch]

If they drop

[formal birch]

Do you need leah or offweek heros is the real question tho

[brave silo]

Well, both 😅

[delicate mirage]

They do drop. Consistently

[brave silo]

Need lady m for +6 and Leah for +4

[formal birch]

Then I'd do it for break loose activating her weapon is pretty important

[brave silo]

Then I'll send it now 💪🏻

[delicate mirage]

Have you looked at what you have in reserve for nova gems first?

And going for glory double dips for bio/glory day

[brave silo]

With boxes and in the bag I have around 1.8m in points, will probably get enough for rank 10-20

Have used the glory for today already

[delicate mirage]

Break loose is usually most cost efficient to just clear phases.
Rank rewards usually don’t give the return of material needed to get the extras.

[brave silo]

Hmm ok

[warped karma]

I do not see a channel for Capture the flag so hopefully this is the right place to ask. I have reviewed our next opponents last round and their 2 strongest lanes are clearly center and right. However, when I click the preview in the lane selection screen it shows they were center and left. Is one of these reversed? If so which one?

[delicate mirage]

I wouldn’t trust either since they can move them for each match

[warped karma]

I understand that they can move them, but I’d like to know which was accurate for last time.

[woeful cave]

https://tenor.com/view/radicord-good-joke-good-one-samuel-ludlow-rarscoch-gif-18702423

[tidal trellis]

how much AP is needed for the current event ?

[formal birch]

Worst case 1k ap refills...

[tidal trellis]

so 50k AP won’t do it ?

[formal birch]

I'm unsure tɓh those are worst case numbers i gave

[pine cliff]

When will be the next intel Collection? Any prevision ?

[formal birch]

We will probably get a fake one soon lololol

[pine cliff]

Yes they are similar but not the real thing....is taking to long now for one to show up...😬

[formal birch]

Unfortunately the original shows up 1 to 2 times a year more if lucky

[obtuse sparrow]

I am looking for an updated list of events for ACE/Off ACE weeks. I see that we now have alliance trials instead of special ops etc...

[formal birch]

In the pins

[obtuse sparrow]

I looked for it but didnt see the new chart ooops my bad! see it now!

thanks found it! Monday and not enough coffee

[frozen blade]

How can I move around columns and or players in capture the flag event?

[violet gulch]

It wont work until after signup ends

[fringe slate]

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet, but here's the only changes I see with Scorched Mines:

(No changes to the chests you choose at the top of the screen. These are just the prizes when you click each tile)

Round 1 to Round 5: 1 Enhancer Choice --> 2 Enhancer Choice
Round 6 to Round 15: No change
Round 16 to Round 25: 10 Promoter Choice -> 20 Promoter Choice
Round 26 to Round 35: 10 Promoter Choice II -> 20 Promoter Choice II
Round 36 to Round 45: 15 Promoter Choice II -> 30 Promoter Choice II
Round 46 to Round 50: 20 Promoter Choice II -> 40 Promoter Choice II

Not a huge change, but makes me feel better about taking more tubes from the progress boxes 🙂

[formal birch]

Yes here's the full list...

Floor 1 through 5 has 2 enhance boxes now....Floor 16 through 25 has double p1s so 20 now... floor 26 to 35 has double p2s boxes so now 20... 36 to 45 double p2 boxes so now 30... floor 46 to 50 double p2 boxes so now 40...

You got a typo xD

[fringe slate]

Copy paste 😆

[civic nacelle]

I have the same question. The preview and the battle reports never fit.
Does anyone found out an answer yet?

[fringe escarp]

As it was told they can swap lanes again, and now since R4s can swap troops too I doubt those two will ever fit for most of alliances.
For example our officer always mix everyone according to opponent's strength and lanes' might so our preview and report will never fit as well

[storm jackal]

We can switch whole lanes and individuals now. When reviewing previous battles make sure you are seeing the round you want.
Question: if a player switches alliance now, after round5, for upcoming Showdown, will they lose the final alliance event rank reward that goes to bag?

Sorry, Flag Capture question

[bitter jolt]

Yes. If you leave the alliance during flag your troops will stay in that alliance to use but you will not earn any rewards once you left.

[storm jackal]

So after you are there for all 5 rounds in farm alliance and get those 5 battle rewards, if you go to main alliance for SD, you get no event rank rewards. Thank you for the answer.
Maybe there could be a final "settlement" stage after round5 where participants can move and still get their earned rank reward. Seems like ranks are already known a few hours before reset and SD anyway.

[storm jackal]

Follow up: final flag rank reward was sent 10 mins after reset/SD, so seems doable. 👍

[civic nacelle]

I know that but unfortunately this doesn't answer my question.
Looks like nobody knows. But thanks for your reply.

[bitter jolt]

If I understand your question correctly, the preview gives you what the team did LAST round to give you an idea of what they did. The report shows what they actually sent against you. The team can and in theory should swap things around to prevent the other team from knowing what they are going to face.

[brave silo]

Does anyone know how the points are calculated in the apex match, and why you don't get full points sometimes?

[rotund beacon]

It has something to do with how many troops you killed and lost in the battle, but they don't show us the numbers

[brave silo]

Ah okey, thank you 🙏🏻

[opal quarry]

How many block needed to clear all 25 lvl plz

[delicate mirage]

400 personal, 17500 alliance

[weak abyss]

Question on event going on I can’t seem to find the table. For rebuild the homeland if you leave alliance to do WLK in another alliance do you keep your progress or lose it?

[delicate mirage]

Keep

[weak abyss]

Thank you. Didn’t want to lose progress

[bitter jolt]

No, it will follow you. Likewise if your alliance doesn’t unlock all levels, you could join another one in the state that has and you could claim them as long as you had the required individual points.

[weak abyss]

So I could leave and come back and be exactly where I was ?

[swift echo]

For this event yes. But you can go to any alliance that is further progressing and collect the rewards

[bitter jolt]

Yup

[mild kestrel]

I am looking to join temporarily an alliance that has lvl 25 homeland, ours will barely make 24, does anyone know before I go there what the required individual points are for lvl 25 rewards unlocking? Mine is currently 460 so not sure on that…

[formal birch]

If you have 400 deposited you can switch to another alliance and be able to claim with no need to contribute

[mild kestrel]

Thanks, I claimed them now

[raven valve]

Level 3 SharkSpider= Level 20 ZL
Level 4 SharkSpider = Level 25 ZL
Level 5 SharkSpider = Level 30 ZL
Level 6 SharkSpider = Level 35 ZL
Level 7 SharkSpider = Level 40 ZL
Level 8 SharkSpider = Level 43 ZL

Level 11 SharkSpider = Level 50 ZL
Level 12 SharkSpider = Level 53 ZL
Level 13 SharkSpider = Level 55 ZL

I know there was a Pic someone shared of a previous Stam event. Do we know how many “lair” we have to run to get max rewards

[meager mortar]

150 lv. 6-13's (10 drops each)
Or 300 lv. 1-5's (5 drops each)

[novel meteor]

Is the Lucky Wheel Event (Hanyu, Dara, Angelo) and Distress Signal Event (Samuel) going to come back at some point? Might just be me but I’ve been trying to save them for the top rewards and now I’m just sitting on them since the events don’t happen nearly as much as they used to

[formal birch]

They are irregular events. They will be back at unknowing times

[fierce perch]

Does anyone know if that Scorched Earth Mine event is happening this weekend?

[mental peak]

2 weeks later

[halcyon narwhal]

Rotates with the diamond exchange.

[raven valve]

Could someone share events ace vs might week?

[bitter jolt]

It’s in the pins on this channel

[raven valve]

Thank you

[normal cairn]

Hi, I have a question
Can I still get the reward from the flag capture event if I leave the alliance before all rounds are finished competing?

[halcyon narwhal]

Yes you just have to be back before the settlement for each fight and before the end of the whole thing.

[normal cairn]

ahh so i still have to go back to the alliance

[halcyon narwhal]

Yes

[uneven pumice]

Is the same thing for res war tourney?

[tacit hemlock]

pins

[swift pilot]

Did PNS remove the Lucky Wheel Event?

[formal birch]

It's an irregular event now

[modest rose]

So on apex does it only count 4 of the same type or should I use 5 of the same type ie so you use 4 riders and a shooter with troop skill or just use 5 riders

[lyric moat]

Probably 5 is better based on old testing on destroyer. By right you need one shooter troop for the shooter hero to activate as well. So unlikely for 4+1 to be better but it ll be tough to verify this.

[halcyon narwhal]

You don’t have shooters in those lineups so you wouldn’t get the extra tactical damage boost by using a shooter troop hero. It’s better to just use all rider heroes.

[worldly cipher]

Where do I find the event schedule for break loose

[delicate mirage]

The possible options are pinned to this channel

[ocean harness]

Will we ever get the regular distress signals event again? 😆

[delicate mirage]

Hopefully 🤞

[grim cloak]

I have a question. If you play DoA but you forget to grab your rewards are they gone forever or will they be there the next time DoA comes around?

[delicate mirage]

They can be access from Alliance - Alliance Events any time until your alliance starts DOA again. Even if you leave your alliance and return, they will be there.
I always save the Thursday rewards to use on Bio/Glory day and Chip/Cube day the following week

[grim cloak]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[pure kite]

Is there a chat related to the Destroyer event?

[delicate mirage]

No. Here is best for questions. Or #🗡battle-chat・lair-talk has a lot of stuff in the past

[knotty aurora]

so PNS makes puzzles that are unsolvable without purchases? i understand making them difficult to incentivize purchases but this is really sketchy.. heres my L7 of the sorting reagent minigame, i ran it through a solver algorithm and it came back as unsolvable

[delicate mirage]

Yes, all of the puzzle games require purchase to complete.

[formal birch]

We all already know about this. The way they make their random sorted tubes makes em impossible sometimes without money at least you got hit at 7 versus some of the lower levels I've seen

[knotty aurora]

thats not cool., they gotta do something about that

[formal birch]

I mean they technically don't

[knotty aurora]

true lol

[delicate mirage]

Nothing in the game is free to complete.
There are free aspects, but it is a pay game.

[vague tree]

I’m on lvl9 (so far all free) trying to reveal all color bit by bit… maybe try another solver…

[vague tree]

A solver I previously used kind of did this same thing, like stop giving solutions… so, i simply tried another solver, and it worked again

[formal birch]

It's not a mistake that's how the system works some get lucky some dont

[vague tree]

So far, i only couldnt brain the gem master😂 my brain just doesnt work playing it😅

[pine temple]

Has lucky wheel been removed again? Or has the frequency just been changed to once what seems like every 6 months?

[bitter jolt]

It is a special event only now. No routine schedule.

[near minnow]

thx 4 new design

small mistake in OFF WEEK: Alliance trial 3 days, Break Loose 3 days

what do you mean about "`break loose 600k/800k" in ACE?

[lusty ridge]

Not sure if this question would fall here. When it comes to level 7 dr in the past I've seen it send solo riders. Monday night it sent mixed march. Does it fluctuate or is it permanent mixed now?

[formal birch]

Fluctuates

[lusty ridge]

That's what I thought. Thank you much

[formal birch]

I've seen a few different varieties

[little quartz]

It's too much disgusting about system ,giving for battles in reservoir , giving a rivalry team to new state vs older state in fisrt battle ?

Pns have to think of matchmaking for the battles

[formal birch]

Just cause you a new state doesn't make you special once you are in the ranking system you can get paired from 1 to whatever 800 state we on now of states

[little quartz]

I am not telling to make special

On what base the system pairing for battle ?

[lyric moat]

It's based on Corp affinity(shared between flag capture, res war and clash). Which is like point system, win battles, gain points, lose battles lose points. They will match you with alliances of equal points.

You will definitely face opponents of more varying difficulty at the start but it will slowly stabilise.

[wanton fjord]

Everyone, please join the feast

[delicate mirage]

You need to let your alliance and state know. Everyone has different feast schedules.

[cold knot]

Is there a way to see how many ingredients we can get per day for the Anniversary Feast and from completing which tasks? I am assuming 5 from Arena per day for example.

[delicate mirage]

Click on the + when you have donated everything

[cold knot]

Thank you very much!

[golden silo]

Does anyone have a -3 and +1 schedule?

[formal birch]

Updated Schedules 7/24

[golden silo]

Thank you so much!!!

[stark radish]

What is Off Week?

What to do in Hero Rising?

[strange stone]

Off week is the week that isn't Ace Commander week. Hero Rising is just the name of the get heroes event. So getting 2 to 6-star hero frags and getting perfect frags (not redeeming perfect frags).

[stark radish]

thx

[sour hound]

Excuse me when is the next diamond exchange shop event??

[swift echo]

Next VC. Rotates every other VC

[sour hound]

Thank you !!

[pale sorrel]

When is the next shovel event?

[delicate mirage]

Random

[swift echo]

That’s El-random

[fathom sleet]

Is there an event on relics and when?

[dawn hill]

relics? do you mean curios?

[fathom sleet]

This👆

Will there be some kind of event for which it is worth saving the boxes with relics?

[formal birch]

#🗓regular-events message

Offweek curio was added

[fathom sleet]

Oh, I got it, ty😊

[hollow mirage]

Anyone know what obtaining the Queen Anne's Revenge is gonna entail?

[dawn hill]

the march skin? not until the event starts 🤷🏼‍♀️

[hollow mirage]

Too bad... just hope it's not that 1 - 50 bs....

[dawn hill]

being a 6* skin, it will likely be expensive. it’s hard to say how expensive without knowing the details of the event because it’s the first 6* march skin we’ve seen

[hollow mirage]

Lovely.... oh well I want it that's all I know

[celest slate]

For Queen Anne's Revenge, if just straight up buying it - then $625. If you group up with 5 others and only join each other's True Blackbeard rallies then $450 - but you will need to some luck and get in some other rallies as well.

[hollow mirage]

...already have my Revenge...

[celest slate]

You bought it?

[hollow mirage]

Yup

[celest slate]

Baller

[green cypress]

How can I get it

[wintry anchor]

You have to summon Blackbeard pirates. I think 150 of the true blackbeards would give you enough points

[green cypress]

The problem is that true blackbeard pirates are harder to summon and give you common pirates, how many common pirates would be

[wintry anchor]

I think somebody said about 500

[green cypress]

Oh thanks

[limber cairn]

Which one is current? Or are they both the same?

[formal birch]

The new one isn't pinned but this is the updated one @limber cairn

[dawn hill]

both sheets are the same schedule. one is UTC for the timezone, the other one is EST

[limber cairn]

Ok, perfect. Thank you

[formal birch]

I need a braincell I didn't read that right thanks killa lol

[heavy pelican]

Is it against rule or considered rude to @ a mod to request for the updated schedule to be pinned?

[delicate mirage]

Updated schedules are pinned.
And yea, that is rude. Is it a critical emergency? Definitely not. So don’t do it

[formal birch]

I think that was in reference to what I said earlier of my new schedule having curio added and that isn't the one in the pins

[heavy pelican]

Yeah, I was just hoping that the new one could get pinned before it gets really bumped up.

[bitter jolt]

updated the pin and removed the outdated ones

#🗓regular-events message

[formal birch]

And freshly updated

[strange stone]

Is flag capture troop adjustment still bugged? I had to re-deploy my troops twice for it to take effect.

[untold hawk]

I didn't run into an issue...

[strange stone]

Sorry, I mean changing troop registration. Like they're already registered, but I want to change the setup so to have it register correctly I need to deploy them twice.

[candid blaze]

Yes, had to dispatch a few times when i edited.

[hollow mirage]

So... Question... do we know if tonight will be the last to fight for the Blackbeard Commander or Do have the last 24 hours as well.

[swift echo]

There’s 2 days left

And should be 1 day to collect

[hollow mirage]

so it says... but isn't the last 24 hours locked down to collect rewards? I'm only asking cause I'm currently rank 18.... want to make sure I know when to fight hard

[swift echo]

The timer should be accurate for the event running time. + 1 day to collect

[hollow mirage]

mmm so after VC is when to fight. alrighty then.

[swift echo]

Your rank 18. You should be pretty set ( don’t quote me)

[hollow mirage]

lol I won't... I know how crazy can be with cash...

[hollow mirage]

Thanks btw. You seem to be the one that always answers my questions, and I appreciate it.

[swift echo]

No problem.

[dense shuttle]

Hi, Does anyone know if ocluar drone design comes every Super value shop week or it rotates to different design

[meager mortar]

Always the 1x 25k box and upto 3x Ocular drone designs every 4 weeks.

[dense shuttle]

thanks

[strange stone]

Need to be vip 13 to get the ocular drone as well.

[ancient raven]

Hey, anyone knows what happened to 777 roulette? It's not there.

[swift echo]

Always good to read system mail

[fluid needle]

I can't wait to see the detriments.... I mean improvements

[jagged cipher]

is there a schedule for when doomfests are?

[swift echo]

Every other weekend

[jagged cipher]

thank you. idk why it feels like they're not that close to each other 😭

[swift echo]

It rotated between the two different doom fests. Same results basically

[delicate mirage]

Did anyone get a SS of the points for top rank in the Research BL that just finished?
I hate when we just get blank mails

[delicate mirage]

Thanks

I don’t understand why sometimes it is blank.

[dawn hill]

me neither lol

[delicate mirage]

Sometimes just certain accounts are. Sometimes all are. Sometimes none are.

With points, without points, completed phases or not. I cannot find the logic 😵‍💫

[untold hawk]

PnS Logic is an oxymoron... Search your feelings, you know this to be true... 😁

[mossy crypt]

Anyone else think that the lost antiques chat stickers look like nightmare fuel? They remind me of the design of puppets and McDonald’s mascots from the 70s and 80s 😂

Does anyone know how to “find the clues” to obtain the curios for the event?? I’ve done over 10 rally’s today and haven’t “found any clues” or found any curios.

And defeated up to a level 6.

[misty radish]

The current event is hitting the event monsters to get name plates for the painting or the Zun.

[delicate mirage]

@mental peak

[dusk merlin]

Is it still recommended to save your lair boxes for off week gear day? Or is it better to use them on a nova day?

[strange stone]

Depends on which you want to complete. Just don't use them on ace day 6.

[dusk merlin]

Well, I’m a shooter, if that’s any help. Still new, in a baby state. I just wanna maximize my chances at getting Phoenix frags

[delicate mirage]

On average, significantly more points from Gear than Nova per box.

[delicate mirage]

(Higher) Lair boxes have a fixed 2900 nova points. But an average of 5000 gear points.

[dusk merlin]

Oh okay, so if my lairs are only at 25, then it’s best to use them for nova day?

Also what are glory/bio day points for? Is that bio mats/upgrades?

[delicate mirage]

A level 25 lair box is just as bad for nova day.

Lvl 25 Lair boxes have a fixed 1000 nova points. But an average of 1500 gear points.

[dusk merlin]

Oh okay, awesome. Thanks for the info. That really helps. I’m making a recommended list for shooters doing off week, so that’s why I’m trying to clarify.

For my alliance I mean. To send out

[inner jolt]

Hi. When is the curio event? Ty

[dawn hill]

combined with core upgrade during off-week

[inner jolt]

Ty. Then on Wednesdays probably

[formal birch]

Pstttt pins so yeahhhh

[late falcon]

Is it always going to be crowbars now and not shovels for ruins? Just trying to decide if I should collect crowbars and save for next ruins

[delicate mirage]

Crowbars are just a time limited item. Not the first time they have had fake shovel items.

[late falcon]

Thank you! I won’t wast AP then 😊

[gentle valve]

Someone has details of how many points you need to get ranked in improve might series like daily wise?

[gentle valve]

510k for today development tasks to be ranked

[dawn hill]

it differs based on hq level

640k to finish the 10 phases for new dev for me

[gentle valve]

Really? Man If I want to upgrade Zephyr I have to keep my HQ to level 22, I have already exhausted my rss to achieve this much 510k points

[dawn hill]

new dev is the most costly event in all of improve might week cuz it only counts joy coins and speedups used instead of might gained too

[gentle valve]

Does HQ kevel change effect every day improve might series events or is it only development tasks?
And What's the best strategy to get ranked in improve might series? Any tips if anyone can share.

[dawn hill]

it’s the one you should either push less or you should only finish it when you have 50 joy coins

[gentle valve]

Yeah realising it now, I will learn from this, so far I think hero frags was the easiest

[dawn hill]

every day.
the best strategy for ranking is save up boxes for about a month. that way you can aim to rank top 30% and get better rewards instead of aiming just to make top 100% and only getting 4 frags

[gentle valve]

Yes I did it this time used up my 2 weeks rss and boxes, so far got ranked both days

[gentle valve]

Who in the right mind made such a difficult event😂, Ace is so much easier compared to this

[misty radish]

I don't think it's related to HQ level as my HQ15 is still 640k to finish all 10 phases. I'm thinking it's probably state age.

[dawn hill]

hmmmmm i always noticed changes at certain hq lvl increases

[misty radish]

HQ levels matter for certain events like Alliance Trials but I don't think it affects the Improve Might events.

[swift echo]

It used to be based off hq

My HQs used to be different. But they are closer in size now

[formal birch]

#🎖ace-commander message here's all the points needed for clearing phases each day.

[ancient raven]

Will 777 coins disappear after this event?

[bitter jolt]

no they can be saved in your bag for future spins

[gentle valve]

Oh great Thanks a lot

[gritty palm]

When do the survivors disappear, reset tonight? Then store for another 24 hours?

[gritty palm]

Nope

[misty radish]

There's a timer shown for the event and shop.

[gritty palm]

Sweet... I'm close so just didn't want to lose it thanks 👍

[turbid galleon]

I contacted the game CS about an issue that I have, notice the store won’t sell me anymore crowbars, then notice that I have used 500 try’s to get the top prize and it tells me that I need 51 more try’s, this is insane, after spending hundreds of thousands of diamonds and contacting CS about the game not letting me buy anymore crowbars with pages in the item shop, CS tells me to hurry up and buy them with my money!!! I would get 2 for $5.00!! I need 51!!! It should never come to this extreme, I get no satisfaction from a game crew that only cares about profits and not about the player, I have spent plenty of money in this game, but I refuse to do it now, beware all players!!! This game and its crew only care about ONE thing!!! And it’s not your satisfaction with the game.

[delicate mirage]

So you can also buy 10 with diamonds (hit the + above jackpot), you get 2 for $1, 5 for $5, 10 for $10.
You might only need 1 more crowbar to clear the jackpot, or maybe 51 more.
And this has always been a for profit game. No online game is about making you feel good. They are about making cash.

[turbid galleon]

Yes I agree, it is about profits, but there comes a time when you just get gouged, when is enough…enough? I refuse to spend anymore money on this game

And why should I have to spend money when I still have 150 pages to buy crowbars? But it won’t sell me anymore, is it to force me to use my cash?

[delicate mirage]

The shop always tells you the limit. Shovels(real/fake) is always a 500 purchase limit from the shops.

[formal birch]

I got my ambiance in 352 crowbars. Shops always have limits its not scamming you lol and plus it's ambiance if you been around awhile you know it takes more than average to get em 😂

[clever topaz]

dude you should have calculated and stopped when you reached 210.
I would stop spending crowbars after 210 when I don't want to spend money. I am so much unlucky that game takes all 300 attempts for jackpot.

[green sinew]

Will the crowbars turn into shovels after the event if we get them?

[swift echo]

Yeah

[green sinew]

I do wish I could find it say that in game somewhere. I'm paranoid about it turning out to be gas or diamonds lol

[formal birch]

That's why so many are worried they won't they don't say so in game last I knew but mods here said they will they got info from higher ups

[green sinew]

Are you banking on it being true or holding off for additional info?

[formal birch]

I already got my jackpot and I'm holding onto the extra crowbars special event shovels have converted in the past so they should this time

[delicate mirage]

It has been confirmed from a couple of official sources

[tropic pulsar]

Will the crowbars switch to shovels after this event?

[tulip zodiac]

When did the ability to win the top prize in Ruins go over 150 AP packs needed? For players who don't spend lots of real money, the AP events allowed us to win some of the skins and ambiences.... disappointed

[tropic pulsar]

Nvm, just read up and saw that you said they will be converting

[delicate mirage]

Since day 1. Nothing has changed. Some people require 500+. Some people require 65.

[formal birch]

It's luck ive never gotten top prize before reaching 250 ap refills lol

[tulip zodiac]

Sad 😢

[bitter jolt]

Hense why many people save shovels and AP for one big run. Very similar to same tactics for intel, scorched earth, and other events.

[formal birch]

I also prefer to focus hq shovels. It's got better stuff in the long run if you hit 300 without jackpot and they tend to be better on jackpots. This was my first successful ambiance run and I've tried alot of em lol

[bitter jolt]

lol I typed scotched earth. Freudian slip?

[formal birch]

Omg I didn't even catch that I autocorrect as I read lol

[bitter jolt]

Looked right to me 😂

[fringe slate]

What's the most you've heard someone use? I've saved a lot of shovels for the normal version but I'm still worried 😆

[misty radish]

I recall someone going over 600? I don't think I've heard of anyone over 700 yet.

[bitter jolt]

Yeah some got it in 65 some 650. Rng at its best.

[thick goblet]

on my farm i got it in 360, my main took 504. so frustrating.

[tulip zodiac]

Time for Res War, hurry everyone

[swift echo]

Wrong discord

[tulip zodiac]

Hahahaha

[long hedge]

Yeah.. another cash rebate event.. need to spend 500 dollars/euros etc for a curios and 1000 for the ambience.. it’s ridiculous people to screw up events and people that way.. more and more money want all the time.. anniversary event was the same.. was not anniversary for the players but for PNS..

[stone lava]

I know this is late, was a busy week at work, but I think it will apply to general ambience events. The expected number of crowbars required is 307.1033. Some key quantiles are

25% - 203
50% - 312
75% - 403
90% - 459
95% - 496
99% - 578

[strange stone]

Thanks! Unfortunately that's not applicable to the "regular" shovels that max out phase rewards at 300. The %s are a bit higher in that one.

[misty radish]

Blackbird previously post the 200-shovel numbers here: #🗓regular-events message

[strange stone]

Oh nice.

[stone lava]

Let me add the screenshot of the probabilities for which this distribution is true. Just in case it’s the same for regular ambience events

[terse lichen]

Hey all, someone plz remind on on how many timed recruit coins to save to open the final box (300)

300?

[delicate mirage]

Shows in the top right corner

[terse lichen]

Thank you

[zinc perch]

Question: I have always thought that a player earns extra alliance coins each time their hero is hired by others in Alliance Trial. Can anyone confirm this is true?

[dawn hill]

yes, you get 1000 alliance coins when an ally uses your hero. i believe it caps after a certain number of uses and stops awarding those additional coins, but i cant say for certain what that number is

[delicate mirage]

Caps at 20 hires

[zinc perch]

Okay thanks y'all! Good to know!

[green sinew]

I've been saving stam to use on an event to earn a march skin or sanctuary skin, but now I'm doubting myself about that being a thing. Is there rotating events like that?

[delicate mirage]

Not scheduled. They come from time to time.

[green sinew]

I suppose my follow up question is, is it worth it to save eternally for that to occur like getting AP for the shovel event?

[delicate mirage]

I have no ambiances or skins or marches or anything “fluffy” 🤷‍♂️

Asking the wrong person 🤣

[mossy crypt]

We need a mod to tell us how dead rising and defense of alliance are going to work between the state maps and the expedition maps? Do we need to go back to our states to do them?

[formal birch]

If you want skins yes worth it

But it's just a skin you don't get extras like shovels

[delicate mirage]

Mods don’t know anything.

It is very much a trial and error experience for everyone unfortunately

[mossy crypt]

Im messaged cs to see if they will give an answer since nobody knows. I’ve also suggested we need a channel on here specifically for this event that we can get some info on.

[delicate mirage]

There is a forum.

But no one has answers. Just questions. Mods asked questions, got no useful answers. And GMs and CS wont have a clue either.

#🗓regular-events message

[timid crypt]

In Scorched Earth Mine, does anyone know how many sticky bombs are needed to get to level 50?

[delicate mirage]

Usually between 4500-6500, depending on luck

[timid crypt]

Thank you… that hurts 😂

[ornate coyote]

It could be worse 🤣🤣🤣 if you have to bomb every tile:

#🗓regular-events message

[ornate coyote]

😳😳😳 speaking of though.
I just used 4572 bombs. 🤣

....after I took a consume Diamond quest intending to use diamonds to buy bombs. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[timid crypt]

With my luck… every tile 😂😂

[timber flint]

Does anyone know when the next Traveling merchant/Treasury event will be? Not the ones that are like it but the ones where you actually have to go collect the traveling merchants from the map.

[formal birch]

They are random events probably won't be for a bit cause we recently had crowbars

[timber flint]

Dang it. That’s how I get all my P2 boxes lol. I save up a minimum of 300k diamonds and as much AP as I can to do the event. I only have one piece of gear left to get to 9* then I can focus solely on getting cubes promoted higher. I don’t spend much on the game and that’s the best rewards in the game lol. Thanks.

[formal birch]

Thats how I get alotta my materials too keep saving itll come around always stay prepared incase they surprise drop it again

[timber flint]

Exactly. My mini has 500k diamonds and 100 AP saved up waiting lol

[slow glade]

Did Shovels event also random or fixed?

[sharp ether]

Random unfortunately

[vague prairie]

Anyone know if the signal/Intel collection event is finishing? I've heard gossip that it will be the last one this time round but don't remember seeing anything formal. I'm hoarding and relatively close to obtaining all signals needed for max rewards and don't want to just lose them

[delicate mirage]

Who told you that lie?

[vague prairie]

I've seen it from a few players but not sure if they're pulling my leg

I hope it is a lie

[formal birch]

See this person listening to Apollo conspiracy theorist too

[coral crow]

People want to believe they are getting inside information.

[smoky ore]

#PuzzlesandSurvivalPuppets

[spiral field]

It's funny, I heard that too. I have no idea where he got that from though.. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[coral crow]

Better use up all those signals just to be safe

[silver lagoon]

Is there a predictable method to seeing when phoenix will show up for events? I’ve been hoarding material for awhile but rarely see her

It’s always obsidian for ace and zephyr for non ace

[coral crow]

She'll be available during off week but I don't know the release times. Keep hoarding

[red junco]

Endorsement in Apex Match doesn't work.
Second day in a row!

[delicate mirage]

It was removed 2 weeks ago with a system message and diamond compensation

[red junco]

I guess i missed that one.
It will come back?

[delicate mirage]

No one knows.
My bet is no 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[red junco]

Ppl were getting to many diamonds?
Matches were "fixed"?
I feel like in a betting shop😂😂😂😂

[silver lagoon]

She wasn't there the first 2-3 off-weeks

And then showed up DURING ace week for 2 days... but not the other ones LOL

[delicate mirage]

It is phased in over a couple months

[silver lagoon]

I understand but there's no set schedule for it? Just randomly appears whenever they feel like including her?

Feels very unfortunate for people using shooters to not have a reliable event to chase at all no matter what week it is

[meager mortar]

After a certain point she's available on every non-ace week regular event so 12 guaranteed frags and a possible extra amount based on rank.

[silver lagoon]

If she’s available non ace week then why does that say Ace Hero at the top lol

[meager mortar]

It's not ace commander week like these ones.

[silver lagoon]

So you get ace commander hero frags during non-ace weeks?

🤣

[delicate mirage]

They are all called Ace Hero cards

[silver lagoon]

And how many do you get during ace week?

It would be much simpler if they just had an event schedule showing who was arriving for ace / non ace weeks

Last weekend we had phoenix event running in addition to ace week starting

Ruins treasure how many shovels should I save before trying to complete it for full rewards any idea ?? Iv heard between 300-500 but also heard people have do it in a lot less????

[misty radish]

Depends on how lucky you feel.

[gritty gale]

Debatable 😂😂🤦‍♂️

I have 190 shovels and could buy another 30 to take me over 200 but still feel that’s abit low

[misty radish]

A player worked out the probabilities here: #🗓regular-events message

[gritty gale]

I’m not sure where some people get the number of shovels you need to complete ruins Treasures or if this was pure luck but I just completed all rewards picked Apex ocular drone as top reward for 160 shovels 👀
*not the iron claw rewards

[delicate mirage]

You mean Rare ocular drone….

It's pure luck. Look at the rules and the odds that are given.

You should go buy some lottery tickets. Getting jackpot in 160 shovels as well as getting an Apex out of the rare box is pretty damn lucky.

[bitter jolt]

I’ll gloat. Got jackpot in 81 shovels.

[minor kraken]

Hey any idea how many minutes before tomorrows reset we get The rewards for flag capture?

[delicate mirage]

Weekly rewards are sent out about 10 minutes after reset.

[minor kraken]

Oh that sucks. Was moving to another alliance for showdown. Guess will have to miss the rewards.

[delicate mirage]

Move to Showdown alliance so you are there more than 10 minutes before reset.
Right after reset, pop back to original alliance, chill for 15 minutes, get rewards and go back and suffer through showdown for the week.

[minor kraken]

I did that last time.. Didn't get any rewards after going back lol

[delicate mirage]

Multiple people have confirmed it works 🤷‍♂️

This is to max it?

[delicate mirage]

Yes. Unless you are really lucky or unlucky.
But that is average results almost every time

[spring gate]

That's.. alot. are some of the rewards better than others?

[eternal kelp]

It depends on what you are trying to achieve in the game at the moment. There are hero frags, rss boxes, nanotubes, 60-minute speed ups and a few more I can't remember off the top of my head. The more levels you move up, the better (or more) rewards you can get. You can always save up diamonds and wait for the scortched earth and diamond spend event or break loose consume diamonds (Leah frags) and buy the sticky bombs and start saving those up to get the 4500-6500 to max out the rewards.

[swift echo]

Ah figured it out. If you have less than 14 Stam. It won’t let you join. But if you have 14 Stam. Let’s you join and costs nothing

When does the Transformers event start?

[short coral]

Oh it says 1.3b recommended might...wonder how it combines it cuz im pretty sure we had that combined

[delicate mirage]

December 15, as per the official post

[south knoll]

I feel like firefly is a big waist of time. Rewards not that good for a stam event. Trial is free and get more for the time you put in

[shell prairie]

Sounds like you need a better alliance lol. Showdown is AWESOME!!!!!!!

[shell prairie]

It's not a stam event. It barely costs any stamina, or time.

[south knoll]

It waists stam. So its stam event in my eyes

[formal birch]

Firefly would be way better if it was an addition not a replacement. I don't mind the 120 stam for some perfects and coins

[somber berry]

Make it an event on its own and bring back weekly Trial!

[formal birch]

Yesssssss

[vestal breach]

Firefly rewards are GARBAGE!!!! Maybe the detailed instructions should have been available BEFORE the event .. bring back Alliance Trials Weekly or make the rewards in Firefly comparable or maybe just maybe better!

[minor kraken]

Can we finish the Christmas parade event without spending money?

These stupid 18½ line events are horrible. At least let us get to the 2X, this would make you more $$$ as more peepz would be inclined to use the bonus!!

[narrow finch]

Put this suggestion in #💭closed-game-suggestions so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

[formal birch]

24 and 23 level events are notorious for being spendy. When they pop up 28 level events you can get there no problem

[night cipher]

Does box multiplier work in this event

[narrow finch]

If it's in the mall it should, except for the diamonds tab.

[delicate mirage]

The Event Boxes? No.

Multiplier only works in the mall. Top of screen will say cash mall. Except for diamonds, does not apply here!

[minor kraken]

How come the Christmas parade event has ended for some of us???

[formal birch]

#❗status-update

[minor kraken]

Thank you. I'll message them.

[near rock]

Why this event so hard? I thought it will be only with ammo. I bought 100 ammo. Then i notices that you need spend money for kill ultimate mutant so for pass this level. i have to spend 250$?? Is this real? I bought 4 and only move 4. So in this luck i need get 50 to pass this. Basicly 250$. This event look like scam.

[swift echo]

The answer is yes to everything you said. It’s like this every 5 levels

[mental peak]

took me $300, still at the last level…

[pseudo sentinel]

bought ammo with diamonds for level 5 no ammo appeared ticket submitted, i want my diamonds back 🤬

[tight berry]

It says we will get our diamonds back now, after event ends the unused ones will convert back to diamonds

[void merlin]

It's a glitch that it's taking diamonds and not giving bullets after level 4 (for me anyway)

[tight berry]

Even worse than a glitch imo. They changed the event item needed at level 5 to one that you have to purchase with money

So people loaded up on the original item with diamonds and then couldn't use them for level 5

[void merlin]

Ffs I hope I get my diamonds back 🤣

[tight berry]

You will after this event ends

Originally it was converting to sticky bombs for scorched earth but I guess they changed to diamonds after the mass outrage

[void merlin]

Ahhh lovely thank you 🙏 🤣

[fervent quartz]

However, I purchase the ammo and the don’t show up. What’s the guarantee I will get diamonds back?

[tight berry]

Here @fervent quartz

[fervent quartz]

First I got screwed with the Xmas cards, now this????

[fervent quartz]

Thanks - and the ammo does show up in my bag

So frustrating

[void merlin]

At least the bullets convert back to diamonds 🤣

[fervent quartz]

True. I’m just annoyed at all the money grabs lately. 🤷‍♀️. And they have done nothing about converting all my cards 😤

[mental peak]

i want to get my money back though

[runic tundra]

Same here

[swift echo]

Need to spend on level 5 for the bombs. Then you will get the bullets after.

[runic tundra]

So, no glitch! Ty for clearing it up 😊

[heavy latch]

for DR. if someone is reinforcing another HQ, does the total amount of points remain the same? Thus the amount of points for the wave is split amongst the 2 members? Or are there extra points for the reinforcing members? It seems when you reinforce someone, that can clear DR solo, they miss out on points.

[dawn hill]

yes, the total points are split between the reinforcer and the reinforced

[heavy latch]

Thats what I thought. Thank you

[dawn hill]

whoever gets the majority of the kills gets the majority of the points

[radiant wyvern]

What were they thinking for the balancing for firefly? This is the alliance level 7 one.

[formal birch]

7s not too bad

[radiant wyvern]

I'm the biggest in my alliance, we're getting like 25% of it dead

[formal birch]

What troop tier? What you solo?

[radiant wyvern]

T11, solo 46

only getting 121k kills on it myself

[formal birch]

That makes more sense we are t12 heavy 😂this is what troops we had in ours that passed

[radiant wyvern]

stat block of a 48 zombie lair for reference

yeah that's much higher troops and a 50-51% victory, definitely a balancing problem since level 7 opens at 30HQ

[formal birch]

It's an alliance monster you need to complete it together. Try Rider lead followed behind with riders and shooters. Based on the troop orders. Can't really tell much more than that. Some levels alliances might not be able to complete crap happens get stronger and try again next time

[formal birch]

this is spammed over several channels <@&742285797725569104>

[formal birch]

The current update for the new changes👀

[coral crow]

Anyone got an updated schedule that reflects the new changes?

Can you just make it possible to copy and paste 😁

[formal birch]

I can make one later if you give me time 🙂

[mortal oxide]

Thanks 😘

I think baddie wants you to do it NOW 😬

[formal birch]

I am lol

[eternal kelp]

When is the shovel event coming back again?

[formal birch]

no clue it is a random event

[eternal kelp]

I didn’t know that. I thought all events were scheduled by the devs. So they just randomly decide when to start the shovel event?

[formal birch]

Yes pretty much

[delicate mirage]

Scheduled by devs and announced as scheduled are not the same thing

[formal birch]

The schedules we put out are the only regular known events

[eternal kelp]

Got it. Thanks for the info

Is there an error for December? I notice last week of November as ACE but you then have first week of December as ACE. If there is already an update please help link me. Thank you as always.

[ornate coyote]

Oooooo. Might be 🤣 thanks for catching that

[formal birch]

Thanks spud💜

[gaunt cypress]

Does it make sense to save up the lucky egg hammers to get 500 for ironclaw frags?

[swift echo]

It’s not 500 hammers. It’s 500 eggs to crack

So will take a lot of hammers

[gaunt cypress]

Oh sheesh, good point

[celest slate]

Haven't been paying attention, do these items ever go on a Daily Sale?

[swift echo]

They do. But the price doesn’t change

[midnight sage]

Firefly Trial you know what correspondence with lairs? Thanks

[jagged cipher]

firefly trials are not comparable to lairs, as in lairs you need 50% to win but in firefly you just need higher % kills than killed to win

[minor kraken]

How many stams are required to finish the rat event and get commander skin?

[dawn hill]

not factoring in hunt mastery:
4200 stam with only alpha rats (200 at 21 per with +8 mccarty). 14007 stam with only mutant rats (667 at 21 per with +8 mccarty). somewhere in between for a mix of both.

[minor kraken]

Thank you

[mental peak]

or $1000 🙄

[celest slate]

Team up with 5 others and it's about $300.

[mental peak]

how to get enough rice with only 5 others?

[gloomy elk]

Most ppl have farms that could collect rice too and hope for the big ones

[mental peak]

you need 200 yellow rice 🌾 it requires a lot of farms…

[delicate mirage]

Rice production does require a lot of farming

https://tenor.com/view/batad-rice-terraces-banaue-ifugao-gif-5311368

[formal birch]

Yea and by the time you summon it and switch accounts there ain't no spot for you screw that

[bitter jolt]

This is why you turn into an octopus and have multiple devices with separate accounts and join all at the same time

[mental peak]

kick those transgressors

[formal birch]

I am just ticked they changed it to only the summoner can launch so dumb

[delicate mirage]

It was a profit based decision. Not a player experience decision.

[formal birch]

Yea well they can shove it where sun don't shine

[delicate mirage]

I shared that with them but 🤷‍♂️

[ornate coyote]

I used to do that on another game.... details will not be mentioned, but filling rallies and hub-like buildings was a blessing/curse. I was entrusted to fill, but then blamed when it wasn't filled 🤣

That's the downside of not being able to log on or split accounts once created with PnS. Can't have farm and main on two separate devices to run at the same time. Gotta switch and switch quick 🫠

[ornate coyote]

It doesn't affect their "gameplay". So it wasn't considered as to how it would affect the players.

[delicate mirage]

Their “gamepay” 👍

[celest slate]

Your group of 6 (including you) buy 6 of the $50 packs. And then each of you start the Ripe Rice rallies and only allow people in the 6 to join. Should get you close to 2K along with natural rodents through other sources in the game (dailies, lairs, etc.)

[mental peak]

the purchase gets you to about 1320. still need about 1/3. but yeah. it’s much better than the $1000

[celest slate]

Thanks, my math was off.

[hearty vigil]

Hello when the event with the shovels comes back?

[wintry anchor]

We don't know. It's a random event

[hearty vigil]

Thanks for the quick answer. I want he comeback soon

It's been a long time since the last time

[wintry anchor]

Yeah we all kind of do

[hearty vigil]

I hope it will be before January

[bitter jolt]

My guess would be sometime after doomsday

[hearty vigil]

When doomsday is end ? I didn't have this in 886, I thinks my states is to young

[wide rivet]

In about 21 days

[bitter jolt]

It’s 29 days left. Unclear if the shop will be open for longer than that right now.

Immigration doesn’t open up until the event shop closes.

[hearty vigil]

Are you talking about the store that's been added to the game where you can buy different cosmetics? I was talking about the shovel event that came back every few months 😃

[thorny zinc]

It's The trust you can buy stuff there now.🥰🥰

[swift echo]

Shovels is a random event. We don’t know when it will come and go

This wasn’t mod worthy tag…it’s been reported

[errant harbor]

Sorry for not being worthy

[swift echo]

The rest will come too

[rigid jetty]

Is there firefly trapped messenger zl equivalency graph?

[jagged cipher]

fireflies are not comparable to lairs, as in lairs you need 50% to win, but in firefly you just need higher % kills than killed to win

[rigid jetty]

I get that. Im talking about the trapped messengers for alliance. As you don’t get a percentage. So you don’t really know how close you are. I can solo lvl 9 firefly solo. But our alliance cant do lvl 9 alliance trapped messenger.

[formal birch]

Level 9 alliance needs like a 1b true might person😂 at least in our case we borrowed someone lol

[jagged cipher]

the point still stands, you need less injured than kills. the best advice i've seen is instead of having anyone send full, to instead organize with your alliance/bigs to have as little casualties as possible

[rigid jetty]

Haha okay thanks

[rigid jetty]

We tried that too, no dice. Thanks.

[misty radish]

You can get the % by looking at the battle report and seeing how many wounded compared to the original troop count.

You also want to minimalize wounded by having your strongest HQ set a rally and then have everyone else send support troops and not the main troop type. Also try to send only strong support troops instead of weaker troops that will only add to your casualties.

[crude silo]

One thing that helps for the tougher solo fireflies, if the person needing help has the different troop formations unlocked, set the rally formation to put the strongest helper's troops in front. (For example, person needing help is a shooter, they are being helped by a stronger rider, they set the rally in rider formation and that puts the riders in front)

For the alliance fireflies, if you use your strongest people and structure like a lair rally to minimize casualties (no one sending weaker troops of the same type as the leader's formation type) and still can't beat it, kidnap a big from a neighbouring alliance lol

[mental peak]

casualties is not a big concern for firefly rallies. so i think formation is not important.

[crude silo]

Casualties don't cause actual injured but it can affect whether or not you win the fight

[mental peak]

what is the condition for winning firefly battle anyways? if it is killing 50%+ or 100%, then casualties won’t affect your ability to win.

[tight berry]

It's like hq hit

You win if your casualties percentage are lower than firefly casualty percentage

So that's why the casualties matter

[mental peak]

i see. then just kill 100% and then there is no need to worry about casualties 🤭

[tight berry]

[smoky salmon]

Anyone know if shovel event is coming back for Ambience and stuff or has it been replaced? Not sure what chat to post this question in.

[untold hawk]

That event doesn't follow a regular schedule... It pops up whenever.

[swift echo]

https://tenor.com/view/random-lol-funny-unexpected-surprise-gif-1886401633109019821

No clue when it will come

[smoky salmon]

Thanks for answering guys ✊🏿💯👑

[slim granite]

New player here trying to decide if I need to save up my Recruit Coins for an event or use them now. Is there a reliable event calendar I can check to make that decision? Thanks in advance!

[snow nebula]

There should be pinned calendar in this thread. I save them for events. Usually every Monday.

[wide rivet]

Depends if you’re a hoarder and those achievements are important to you. It usually takes ALOT of coins or cards to rank.

[formal birch]

Here is some hoard guides...

#💡help・hints message

#🎖ace-commander message

Forewarning about ace this is based on old state ace but still helps somewhat with the new state aces on what to hoard. Ace Commander channel has a new state pin that can help

[slim granite]

Thanks, guys!!

[amber parrot]

Have they scrapped trials of survival?

[sharp ether]

It will probably come soon

[amber parrot]

It’s been ages since we’ve had it as it was always regular before this crock of poop doomsday where the rewards are pants

[halcyon narwhal]

It always goes on a hiatus when there are collaborations or things like this.

[minor kraken]

Hey. How many stams do I require to finish the spring fest fun?

[swift echo]

The event that started today?

Limited points.

Need to pay to get the hq skin

[minor kraken]

Thank you

[frail zenith]

I wonder if the 2x can be reached with maxing out dailies only

[dawn hill]

you can get up to 705 items from dailies and it took me about 520 to reach the x2

[frail zenith]

Time to open up the stam cans then 😂 thanks, out of curiosity how much you needed for the skin if you’re there yet

[clever topaz]

How many of the stickers does it take to get lvl 29?

1700ish

[echo jasper]

Looking for a little help with the Dead Rising event. All of our players make it to the end but we do not make enough points. Would allowing more people in the fort create more points. Would reinforcing people who do not need it create more points?

[mental peak]

reinforce those who cannot make 100% kills. you are considered victorious against a wave if you can kill over 50% of it. but it will not give you max points if you can’t kill 100%.

[echo jasper]

Everybody gets 100% kills but we do not get enough points

Would allowing more people in the fort create more points

[formal birch]

What level yall do? And do you mean alliance points?

[dry trellis]

I’m not sure if you are talking about personal or alliances points. We limit everyone’s march except for the leader of the fort to 100K troops to get as many in to allow more to get DR rewards during the event; not necessarily for rank.

[tame stirrup]

No, won’t help alliance ranking
Maybe try a higher level

[echo jasper]

Level 7 and we get about 80 million points on average I need another 40 million points

[formal birch]

yall should try 10... no you shouldnt die lol

[misty radish]

If everyone kills every wave at 100% and you don't have enough points to get to the next level, you will need to create more farms or recruit more HQs for the Alliance.

[jagged cipher]

does anyone have a screenshot of all dr level rewards? or at the very least a screenshot of level 10 rewards

[swift echo]

It can only be ran twice every other week. It win the calendar in the pins

Tuesday and Thursday

[jolly magnet]

this is last version ? all events have one day delay for me

[misty radish]

All events happen at the same time for everyone. Please check your local time against the listed UTC times.

[jolly magnet]

My bad, i didnt see there were 2 files, i found the good one ^^

[rapid wing]

We are all waiting but it doesn’t make any money so….

All events accessible without money disappear... money attracts money... no more room for the rest

[formal birch]

Correction you mean ruin treasury... but anywho no its not a regular event so it comes and goes as it pleases

[ornate coyote]

🤣🤣🤣 you know you have been around long enough to know that you can't simply ask "when is the next shovel event?"

you need to ask for the specific "AP Ruins Treasury with Traveling Merchant".... shovel event 🤣

[formal birch]

I am feeling old because of this🤣

[light tapir]

and then whisper stamina shovels

[ornate coyote]

Shhhhhhh. You mean experienced.

[formal birch]

Ancient experienced

[ornate coyote]

I was going to say "matured experienced"....but that doesn't seem appropriate 🤣🤣🤣

You're experienced enough to remember when regular event rewards were actually helpful 🤣. When you had to battle it out to make into a feast, when Nuka was a weekly event ....and when the timer during DOA was covered by the distance icon.....

Yup. You We old 👵🏽

[formal birch]

Soooooooo old. I occasionally mention times people are like what? That didn't happen yess yes it did lol

[ornate coyote]

It gets better when it really didn't happen and you were just experiencing a Mandela effect and just actually gone senile 😥
