MiriamRowan's Unofficial BC Live Report - 24th October, 2018


Presenters: "Winter" (Wrkshp) Warrior & Masta Don



BC Live was delayed due to what they will call "technical difficulties".

Next events: BC has sent the next update to Apple and Android and are waiting for approval.  The app is currently in review. If it passes review tonight or tomorrow morning, then Darking Mad Halloween Raid (assuming the update is shipped out in time) is the next event. There will be new monsters and new vanity items. If approval is delayed and the update doesn't come out in time then  Dominion FFA will run instead, and then the Halloween raid will be next.  Otherwise, if all goes well,  it's Halloween first and then Dominion FFA.  The goal was to get Halloween out in time, but it's going back and forth as to which will run next.  BC will make an announcement as soon as they know.  Masta Don can't promise anything solid as it depends on Apple and Android's review processes. He knows that this is very frustrating for players to be so last minute. Merging and the traders will be active for the next event, regardless of which one it is.  The Halloween trick and treat grab will be available during the Halloween raid.  Reward epics in the spins will be announced on BCG at the start of the event.

Halloween monsters - three sets of Halloween monsters will be reused this raid event, and one set definitely won't be. Masta Don was able to provide some monster names and some server names for these monsters but gave enough information to be able to find them on BCrank as follows.

Halloween sets being reused:




The Halloween set not being reused is from 2015. That year there were rock monsters wearing helmets, these ones will not be used because they're "hideous" and Masta Don refuses to put them in the spins again. https://bcrank.us/catalog/?q=Slingkong,Blockbottom,Stalactank,Rockmancer

Masta Don is 90% sure that the Darking Mad boss was fire.  There will be multiple targets for the boss.  Ideally Masta Don wants all the raid events and CT events to be multi target since many other events have single targets (like CS and Dominion). 

Apple update will be for iOS 8+ only from now on. iOS7 is no longer supported by BC.  This is less than half a percent of the BC devices out there. If you are using iOS7 then you will need to update your iOS in order to keep playing BC. Most devices are on iOS 11 or 12 now.

Sanctiflyer limbs ending early for some troops?  It appears that the timer was running out, but from the server end it looked like it was all working, so BC wasn't able to see what was actually happening live.  BC just doesn't have a good answer.  The person who read it in the ticket caught it immediately and brought it to server, but all seemed to be working there. BC will need to look at it if it happens again.

BC will be making support tickets more secure in time.  They know and are looking into the issue.

PvP bugs. Feel free to complain about them every stream. Masta Don also complains about them and needs to find the time to fix this.  Hammer him about this and he may be granted more time to work on fixing them.

There won't be any 10 energy ultimate spins for Halloween. If this is to happen, it will be for Christmas. BC is working on hack prevention things and they want to have this in place first before they make this energy available to us.

Sizing with legendary second evolutions? Sometimes these need to be resized by server.  Unfortunately if quality assurance doesn't catch it, then BC relies on player reports.

Why can't FFA Dominion monsters have the same x3 advantage over regular teams that TB monsters get over BR monsters?

Friday event starts won't be happening because there are so many apps releasing updates on Friday and this causes possible delays. Thursdays allows for a quicker update process.

Reward monsters?  BC is considering it with events. It could be related to Troop Wars, or having events without any event monsters. BC would prefer not to give them an event bonus. The reason BC has event monsters is that it bridges the gap for new players to be able to compete.

Can blight+ return to rewards?  Not many players liked this active. They preferred venom. BC can bring it back though.

BC is looking at how to bring TW back into regular rotation, but this won't be for a while.

No, the gold trader can't be changed to sell boosters.  That would require client side programming which is much harder than server side programming, at least for bandwidth.

Leader boards were shown for what Wrkshp Warrior believes was Sanctiflyer. Masta Don agrees that Battle Sushi is dominating events but there's nothing BC can do about that.

10 energy code was given.

Winter Warrior played two games of PvP, lost both and apologized for swearing on stream.
