BC Live - 12th Sept, 2018

MiriamRowan's Unofficial BC Live Write-Up - September 12th, 2018

Presenters: Wrkshp Warrior & MastaDon

10 Energy Code: Appears to cause a redemption limit error, but is given in the image below just in case they get it working.

Next event will be Dominion.  This will be standard Dominion, not Dominion FFA. After that will be Exodawn ("Sky Boss 1"). There will not be merging or Trading during Dominion. Shield/Warrior is the likely r epic old passive in the spins. Leader boards are enhanced.  Troop Trophies will be based on points ("peer score count") at the Ranger for having claimed towers.

The 25 event grabs should have been dispersed to everyone by now. They were given to everyone who was active during the event, not to the multitude of alts that were created after BC's announcement that 25 event spins would be coming.

Last week the wrong PvP leader boards were processed for rewards.  BCrank informed BC, but it was too late for BC to retrieve the actual leader boards for that pvp event.  This leader board has been lost and cannot be retrieved. Prizes cannot be given out. BC is sorry. It won't happen again.

FB energy. This seems to be on FB's end. It shouldn't have issues, but BC isn't sure quite what's happening.

Arena cannot be run currently. Someone will need to rebuild it.

The next Celestial Towers will be soon.  The next boss will likely be wind, or maybe rock. Both wind and rock were requested.  There have been too many leaf bosses for CT lately.

The last troop wars was basically only the top 500 players playing it. The rest barely even logged in.

Coliseum - MastaDon isn't promising anything with this. TW is more popular than Coliseum.

Players who sell pets?  BC investigates these, as when BC bans too easily, then the hackers retaliate and spoofs accounts to pretend to be other people who are actually innocent.  BC is very careful to hit the right player and ban them.  It's often a slow process to identify them, however whenever they find one, usually there is a spider web of other players also identified doing the same.

Can we vote on events? No, it's a Facebook rule that BC can't have a video to simply encourage players to vote.  Even if there it was to happen, MastaDon couldn't guarantee to follow the votes as BC is trying to spread all repeating events out as far as they can from each other, and the voting system will force some to be closer together and others further apart.

Raid event monsters?  BC released a bunch of raid event monsters for Slick Tricks to help to bring them into the rotation, similar to what they did in Coliseum. These monsters rarely get any use. Participation in Slick Tricks was higher as a result.

If your damage cap isn't fixed, please put a ticket in detailing all of your monsters and team.  This will help support to figure out what is going on. They haven't had many tickets recently so these are likely to be a specific monster or set up triggering the damage cap still.

Leader boards were shown for Slick Tricks.

Events will be back on a Thursday-Tuesday rotation from here on, instead of the recent Friday-Wednesday.

10 energy per u-spin? This won't be happening for a while. The economy of energy needs to be balanced, especially with a lot of alts in the system.

Crystal Siege?  BC can look into a possible stop loss for the crystals.  BC doesn't want to create a set rotation for which players only log on for their element. 

Old benchmarks won't return. Benchmarks are problematic. BC is only keeping them because we're used to them. MastaDon would prefer to remove them from being trophy based as it's too easy for established players to earn them. In a perfect world, MastaDon would change this to attacks so that it was fairer for newer players who really need the prizes. It's too late to do this as BC knows that it's part of the value of  having an event team now.

Why is damage on monsters different during  in Arena compared with PvP on a monster without any equipment?  There is probably something in the old code that is possibly messing with things. Similar to how BC has extra health during PvP, they possibly could have something affecting attack or defense.

Jewel spins don't often get out because players rarely use them or want them.

Avatar spins? It's on BC's docket to look at one day but other things are still a priority.

Update will come out next week (if approved by Apple and Google) and will have new monsters and everything.  This is where a lot of BC's time is going currently - new monsters (second evolutions), rotations of daily rewards, events, etc.  Another update will come out in October and this will have even more second evolution monsters in it.  BC hopes to have more frequent updates from here on.

Wrkshp Warrior may play pvp against us next week, but definitely not this week.

Increase stones? MastaDon admits that there is very little in the game that helps players to earn more stones. They'd like to see it increased for things that aren't well rewarded currently, like Arena battles, where newer players don't see the purpose of playing this for runes. They may consider adjusting things so that lower PR players can get more stone boosters, or increasing the stones that drop for players farming during raid events, as these are usually low PR players. BC has an imbalance where some players (high PR) have millions of stones and nothing to spend them on, or other players (lower PR) who have no stones but really need them.

Rune drop rate in Arena? BC can look at this again. This isn't likely to be a priority though.

Halloween? There will be a different type of raid event, probably not a Halloween raid from the past, as these have been run a few different times already. The raid events that have been rarely run are more likely.

Wrkshp Warrior couldn't give us a code as the code person has been gone recently. MastaDon will send server a message and they hope to have one released soon.  Yulun may comment the code in the comment section of the BC Live video.

Barrier doesn't not stack if they are in the same element, only the strongest one counts. Therefore it's important to have one in each element on your team.
