Hello again Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; The contest is over, and it's time to announce the winners! But first, I’d like to thank everyone for making the Crappy Community Contest happen - no matter in what way: participation, sponsoring prizes, spreading the word or helping me to organize it. I received so much support and even more nice words - maybe a small apology for the amount of crappy advertisements is also in order 😉 In total, we reached a total number of 130 participants, more than double of our goal. Thanks to the Skylords Team for sponsoring the code CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES Here are the fastest Skylords of the CCC #1: 1st place 01:27.4 arabika 2nd place 01:28.0 Damo 3rd place 01:29.5 Hirooo 4th place 01:30.4 RadicalX 5th place 01:32.5 Treim 6th place 01:34.6 Dolewan 7th place 01:36.4 THE_BIG_WET 8th place 01:39.7 Dutchy 9th place 01:41.5 _empty_ 10th place 01:42.1 Hiko 11th place 01:44.5 Bini_Inibitor 12th place 01:45.4 Wanky 13th place 01:46.3 batika 14th place 01:47.5 Zorgok 15th place 01:48.4 Relictook 16th place 01:48.5 SylarXXI Upper 50% share: The split share of the 3000 bfp is only 46 BFP each - the high number of participants takes its toll here.

Replays and Strategy Here are the replays of the Top-3 entries - copy them into your Replay folder to watch them: CCC1_01-27-4_arabikaa.pmv CCC1_01-28-0_Damo.pmv CCC1_01-29_5_Hirooo.pmv For those who just want to quickly know how the time is achieved without watching, here is a short description: With this new knowledge, if you want to try for yourself, please remember that the Map of the Month gets switched pretty soon. In conclusion Thanks again to all who helped to make this happen. What I can tell so far is that the series will continue, CCC-2 has already been discussed with the Event Managers - but before that my guess is that we will see some other contests/events. If you have a crappy idea for future CCC's you may share and discuss that with me, maybe you can host your own Crappy Contest! Feel free to contact me. If you want to discuss or host any other kind of contest, contact our Event Managers Hiko and/or Metagross. They are super supportive and will help you to organize your own event!

I'm baffled. Of course I knew that there is some amount of theorycrafting and planning involved in doing a _real_ speedrun, but the amount of detail is far beyond then what I expected.

All fine, never happend again after the fix Kubik suggested. Thanks for asking!

Thats a point I kinda agree but... The stoneskin crystals knockback, the lost dancers and the Vigils too, and we just deal with them through CC and micro. Maybe you can adjust the rate how often the Towers appear to a balanced level but give them their knockback. I'm sure we can handle it while making it a little more challenging.

The contest recieved some donations from generous Skylords, so the price pool has been updated. Edit: I am baffled by the amount of additional donations I recieved, and instead of giving everything to the "Top" I added a random draw of two really good cards for the lower half of entries - that seemed more appropriate for a community contest.

CCC#2 is already in the works - the Concept is done but super secret of course 😄

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings; and welcome to CCC #1 - the very first Crappy Community Contest! THE CONTEST HAS ENDED. To see the winners, scroll down below. If you are just here to grab the booster code, there you go: CRAP-YCMN-TYCO-NTES What are “Crappy Community Contests”? This and future CCCs are meant to be super-small-scale contests with weird challenges, hopefully luring you away from well-trodden paths. They are small scale on the organizers side too: there will not be a stream, video or event announcing the winners. What's special about this contest is a participation price for the whole community. What, when, where, how? There are no special rules for this contest besides one: rPVE 1 (Map of the Month) - Fastest time wins Small groups of bandits escaped from the rPVE9 contest. Kill them fast! The contest has started already! Submit your replay of your fastest rPVE 1 1-Player MotM run through Discord (DM to Kapo#0116, please include your IGN) or the Skylords Forum (DM to Kapo) until 26.12. 23:59:59 (= 7 days time total). You can submit multiple times, but only your fastest one will count. Please note that the Top 3 Replays will be posted here in the forums. You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays What's the prize pool? Since this is not just a Crappy Contest, but a Crappy Community Contest, you may earn a price for the whole Community. If we reach more than 30 participants (unique players, not entries), you will unlock a Mini-Booster code for the whole Skylords Community. If more than 50 participants enter, it will be upgraded to a Booster instead of a Mini-Booster. So tell your fellow Skylords to do a quick run, rPVE 1 is less than three minutes but it raises our chances to hand out a code for everybody. The fastest skylords will get small prices too, sponsored by myself and other skylords: 1st place 1000 bfp + Easter Egg + Bandit Minefield + Nether Warp (G) 2nd place 500 bfp + Wheel of Gifts + Matter Mastery (G) + Grinder P 3rd place 250 bfp + Worldbreaker Gun + Rogan Kayle + Grinder P 4rd place 100 bfp + Church of Negation + Bandit Sniper + Grinder R 5rd place 100 bfp + Home Soil + Bloodhorn (R) + Grinder R 6rd place 100 bfp + Battleship + Matter Mastery (G) 7rd place 100 bfp + Ashbone Pyro + Cultist Master 8rd place 75 bfp + Cultist Master + Ravenheart 9th place 50 bfp + Corsair + Ravenheart 10th place 50 bfp + Ravenheart + Plague 11th place Crystal Fiend (G) + Aggressor G 12th place Plague + Frost Crystal 13th place Amii Paladins + Mountain Rowdy P 14th place Amii Paladins + Coldsnap + 15th place Soulhunter B + Soulhunter P 16th place 4 Crystals (Dark/Flame/...) and 2 Amii Phantoms as a Consolation Prize 😉 Upper 50% Split share of 3000 BFP Lower 50% One random Skylord in the lower half recieves Enlightenment, another one Rageflame (B), another one Amii Monument. Last Place Juice Tank (x4) In the unlikely case of a tie, the run that has been submitted earlier gets the higher placement in the ranks. If one or more mighty Skylords decides to sponsor this event, please contact me, I would be more than happy to upgrade the price pool. My special thanks to the SR Team for supporting a community prize idea. Also a big thanks to the following Skylords for sponsoring cards and/or BFP: THE_BIG_WET Easter Egg Promo CrazyCockerell Bandit Sniper Ultralord 500 BFP + Crystals Dutchy 3000 BFP + Ashbone Pyro, Cultist Master, Home Soil, Battleship, Worldbreaker Gun, Bandit Minefield, Corsair (G), Bloodhorn (R), Crystal Fiend (G), Matter Mastery (G), Rogan Kayle Worgrimm Amii Monument Sanguiris Rageflame B, Nether Warp (G), Church of Negation, Matter Mastery G, Ravenheart (x4), Grinder P (x2), Grinder R (x2), Cultist Master, Plague, Mountain Rowdy P, Frost Crystal, Soulhunter P, Soulhunter B, Aggressor G, Aggressor B, Amii Paladins (x2), Amii Phantom (x2) Anonymous Wheel of Gifts, Coldsnap, Plague Anonymous 2 Enlightenment Damo 4 Juice Tanks specifically for the last Place In conclusion My hope is to start off a series of CCCs with very different ideas and themes, to explore the possibilities of small scale contests that don't take weeks to prepare and execute.

I suddenly reached the limit of allowed decks and was really surprised that it is so low - if I got it right at 100 decks the game says "thats enough". Then I did some basic math: Not counting Introduction, there are 25 Maps total. Since we want to encourage different playstyles, you can expect that a player want to "save" his decks at least for Pure Colors, thats 100 decks for that. For rPVE, you could estimate another ~10-20, like one for each faction plus some variations like a glorious Gunners Deck or some other madness. This does not take into account: Any Decks for the other Factions, Decks for Contests you may want to keep, decks for Community Maps, decks for PvP, etc. Long Story Short: Even if you just do one Deck for the Pure Colors for Each Map you are already done and have space for nothing else. So I propose raising it to at least 200 decks per player.

From my expierience - doing the map solo with Pure Nature _without_ any blocking tricks - the 3 walkers are really harsh, especially for newer players. But I fear raising it to 5 will make it too trivial. I think the basic notion of giving a little more leeway is correct, but many of us speak from a solo perspective and IMO the map should be balanced around two players. not one. So I would consider raising it to 4 and not to 5 - so some pressure is still on when two players are attempting the map. Since it can be done consistently with 3 without blocking and solo, 6 feels just too much.

of course, but it didn’t say when its deployed 🙂 its the deep dive that got me hyped

Banzai Lord WHEEEN

Skylords Reborn and their devs have no affiliation with EA - so no access to the "old" data, the accounts are gone forever. But fear not! There are now lots of achievements that give you a jumpstart when you are starting out again.

I too think this is a performance issue, but to be honest - you log on and empty your box, and if thats a little laggy who cares. A little lag for 1 minute is a much better scenario then a full inbox where you cant recieve mails for many, many hours that you are not online.

NAME: See title DESCRIPTION: After the Map failed with "Jorne died", FoodForThought and checked our replays, Jorne was fine and Map 2 was CC'ing Viridya correctly. At the end of the Map 1 Replay Viridyas Spirit appears and insta-kills Jorne, which we think this shouldnt have happend. REPRODUCIBILITY: No idea under what condition this happens SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: See replays LOG: None ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Since its so hard to get enough people to join Ascension, this is very frustrating. It isnt my first time that the Map fails and everybody wonders why, so I consider this a high priority.

Dont forget those beautiful Altars of Nihil

Maybe, but others have enough bfp at that point AND looted 3 promos. 😃 dont get me wrong, I made this suggestion though this is a non-issue to me - I dont buy/open boosters. I stil lthink a mercy counter would make it fairer. you can make this 1000 instead of 500, and if one didnt get a promo after 1000 boosters, that one is really a poor soul with loads of bad luck - so a "Achievement" like that would be nice.

Well if a higher number would be neccessary, then I'd prefer a higher number then another 3 boosters with no promo 😄 But I think the devs would know alot better then I what the number should be where mercy is the right way to go. Besides, a "random promo" sounds great at first, but could be something like Fallen Skyelf, so... :-]

Would it be possible to add a mercy achievement for the boosters? Like, it starts with 0/500 and counts up every booster, but if you loot a Promo card it gets reset back to 0/500? And if you make it to 500/500 you get a random promo card 😃 Some guys are so unlucky, I think that would be a cool feature.

Thanks for elaborating. ❤️

Now I really wonder why you colored that in that particular way. The higher the better? Edits config and adds "maxshader":65535, And yes, current config was 768
