Something like a frostpunk faction as the last faction in desperate fighting against the Assemblers as the final pve boss boss faction in battleforge lore, could be excellent. But yea, any type of sea faction would be nice too as we don't get any actual water in battleforge. (prolly cause water is ass to animate well in engine)

Banzai lord : Having looked closer again, not a bug, the ability icons just look too similar due to ability background choice. Both icons are grayish brown and gray from left to right, so I guess i'm having a really hard time seeing it. Molten boss: I will if I see the lag bug again. I don't see this boss reliably enough to do testing. Hopefully the bug trigger is not Banzai lord purp+ purp banzai birds + boss ability interaction. (I don't have Banzai purp.)

I am playing on Resolution : 1280 by 768 It fits 2/3rds of the screen, so I can play while web browsing, music, word doc, excel etc. (my laptop screen when widescreen stretches all games badly.)

Rough list of bugs I've seen as of the new Dec 18 2021 patch. If you see more bugs, have some fun and post it here or post a new topic more formally in this bug report forum section using the format. -------------------------------------------------- newly found--Bandit sorceress blue blessed installation doesn't display her effect on the building. Can still use exit building button. Either not working, or ability display not working. Invisible amii phantoms. *spears only. no bodies. True phantoms, spooky spears only. Inventory (the card icon tab top left) card search filters for colors not filtering out duo color cards like lost, amii, twi, bandits correctly. When u filter purp orb only as example, bandits and lost cards still show up. Market AH search function is not sorting correctly when only Rarity filters in particular are used. It currently requires indicating card type like "squad" or else it pulls only common cards as search results. Molten boss in rpve fire faction can somehow cause massive lag, enough to potentially drop people. XXXX wind hunter cleanse ability cant target any air units either ability bug or needs description change **edit: Description it is. This change was Intentional XXXX *special case. I had gold upgraded all cards before this new patch. 'We have the technology' achievement not interacting with upgrading the new cards after having upgraded all the cards. ***Zyna says this is intentional. Not a bug -------- life of change bugs? Not sure these are bugs -------- inventory card icon covers bfp when players in forge. Can't see how much bfp you have if its covered by inventory yea? Banzai lord ability never seems to changes color to indicate it is ready. This could be an ability color choice issue. **edit: Having looked closer, It's just when ability is ready, its a grayish + brown. Very similar to cooldown gray, especially if you don't look closely.

I despise clearing the top right stonekin base for cannon on expert though. Can we make that base easier then if it's required? Instead of having to fight through a wall with gemeyes and deepgorges behind it? Without earthshaker or cc like peace, clearing this base while defending treasure ship would be no bueno I feel as that base usually only has 1 player defending. after taking both bases there. Relying on the guy to micro defending base and kill top base probably wont end well

Wintertide Red: What were you guys thinking?
chickennoodler replied to chickennoodler's topic in Cards
Obviously, any change helping frost this way helps all the other faction playstyles overall. Expecting it to benefit Frost only in the longrun is silly. I do not count that as a Frost buff as players adapt to the new mapping, it can eventually turn out no, it benefits other factions as much if not more. -
Wintertide Red: What were you guys thinking?
chickennoodler replied to chickennoodler's topic in Cards
When most of us use entangling roots to counter enemy melee to shoot em dead with arrows, the balance team gave Wintertide Red, a spell that self roots your units like entangling roots. . . . . a 30% melee damage buff. Does it take much thought to see why giving self rooted melee units a +30% melee dmg buff when everyone in pvp and pve, is trained to retreat and Pincushion rooted melee units dead is stupid? What "interesting mechanic"? Dying!? And you can't stack dmg buffs, Homesoil makes that part useless anyways. Is it really that surprising that I would find this an unworthy replacement for Wintertide Red's payback mechanic Volin? Ignoring the fact that Frost t1 pvp is expected to accept being crippled against M size swift melee spam like the goooood old days for months with no concrete end date, which is also awful. -
Wintertide Red: What were you guys thinking?
chickennoodler replied to chickennoodler's topic in Cards
I just feel alienated. Anyone who uses lightblade phalanx's payback would have told them to not change Wintertide's payback mechanic. This is a very VERY old battleforge era strat. It's even used in a community game called ground hog day for god's sake..... but no devs or balance team caught on they were patching such a critical t1 spell mechanic tool? How can I trust them then? What's next? Northern keep? Scorched Earth? 2 Envenom type stacking? Chaos knights? -
Wintertide Red: What were you guys thinking?
chickennoodler replied to chickennoodler's topic in Cards
I'm so extremely salty about this. I just can't believe this shit. Wanted to let you all know balance team removed your ability to do this combo with Frost t1. You know when you have the card Phalanx in payback mode, then you have a lightblade provoke bait an Abom in forge and it dies from anti-trample dmg? Wintertide Red turns ur units t1 into this payback mode. You also have light blades T1 as Frost. You used to use Wintertide Red, provoke the Sunderer, Harvester or any large or Xl size creature with lightblade, they try walking over to lightblade and you path them through those Wintertide red buffed payback units and the enemy died. Balance team instead gave Wintertide Red 30% more melee dmg. When rooted by Wintertide. As in you are self entangling rooted, a common anti-melee debuff. I'm seriously considering quitting if this is the balance quality we can expect later on. Congrats guys, now you can't kill Grinders on Bad Harv Expert or Soulhunters on Blight Expert or Twi juggers on Guns of Lyr Expert as Frost t1 with Winteride Red and lightblades now. Yes, I am this salty, but let's be real. Am I wrong? They replaced a unique t1 frost tool with a poorly thought out idea. -
You guys do know the Wintertide Red 150 trample damage infliction when trampled on this card is a pvp pve anti Large and XL creature kill combo with lightblade for frost T1 against Harv or in PVE Grinders etc right? You guys took away a critical anti large XL size tool in Wintertide Red and gave it .... a useless 30% more melee dmg???!!! To frost On card that roots your own units? Excuuuuuuse me? When would that be useful ever in Frost t1, pvp or pve with homesoil barrier existing. Guys, do you guys bounce ideas or actually talk about these changes? Wintertide red might have been super unpopular, but it's an Extremely mechanically important card for Frost t1 that you should not have changed. I'm really nervous that this is how you guys are balancing. This was not a niche card, but you guys obviously thought it was and messed with it anyways. Like, that scares me, what are u guys gonna mess with without understanding it next? Scares the shit out of me.

Skylords Pre Reset era price reference
chickennoodler replied to chickennoodler's topic in General Talk
It's more surprising when you can find some prices that just never change. Deepcoil worm is stuck permanently around 550 ish Colossus is nearly always 190-220 range. -
Ultrarares, rare Squads and buildings so far. ** I recommend using Ctrl F and typing the card name you want to see etc. Price ref based on pre-reset era Because over relying on SMJ is weird Price listed is an expected range, but you will find outliers when you look because most casual players won't read this list or use SMJ anyways. *Pricing is subjective and based on my buying experience. But remember, in pre reset era, I could even flip commons for profit. Very difficult to do this in the current post reset, so use this list as a reference, not as a modern daily list trying to flip cards. I think ---------------------------------------------------- Pricing reference based on Pre-Reset era ---------- Ultra rares: Low supply, expect soaring and plunging price deviations when listings expire or supply is lower. No one actually cares much about the consistently lower priced ultra rares on here so expect derp pricing on promise of life etc. Squads: Nox carrier (both affinity) 10-30 Queek queek 50-80 Tortugun (both affinity) 100 Wrathgazer 100-130 Timeshifter 120-150 Moloch 100-150 Thunderwagon purp 180-220 Parasite Swarm 150-220 (this one is odd. It used to fly to 350, but was prolly price gouging) Shadowworm 250-330 Core Dredge blue 260-330 (high flux) Core Dredge Red 330-370+ (very high flux) Forest elder Purp 300-350 Abyssal Red 250-300+ Abyssal Blue 330-370+ Rageflame 330-350 Lord Cyrian (was a promo) 5k+ (current reset market 350-400 ish) Grim bahir (both affinities) 400-450 (high flux, again, expect within range) Ironclad Red 450-600 (post reset 400-450+) (Was very high flux depending on the day) Lost Warlord Red 500-600 Ironclad Blue 550-750 (post reset 400-450+) (very high flux at the time. It was weird) Thunderwagon Red 480-520 Lost warlord Blue 500-700 (usually low 600s, high 500s) Spitfire 500-700 (high flux at the time) Skycatcher (both affinities) 500-700 (very high Flux)** (Modern pricing is 800ish. Anything more is SMJ being weird or supply is low.) ***Addendum. Realistically right now, any price between 860-920 range is okay currently because SMJ is creating a lot of unnatural demand. This is actually why I don't like SMJ, it creates an unnatural third party carfax effect, but in reverse, which inflates the value hence people just buy buy buy. Forgetting hey, instead of trusting strangers, you're now trusting and giving pricing power to 1-4 specific strangers to determine prices. Dreadnaught 500-800 (was usually close to 600s, not always) Rageflame blue 500-900 (very high flux in price) Forest Elder green 1100-1300 Fire Dancer 1500-1700 Avatar of Frost 1800-2300 Mountaineer 2200-2400 Harvester 2500-2700 (Was almost always 2500 ish) Buildings: Oracle Mask (both affinities) 10-50 bfp ( no one really cared) Voo doo 30-50-70 (also no one really cared) Volcano Red 50-100 (high flux) Volcano Green 50-100 (high flux) Mindweaver 100-150+ Stronghold 400-700 (high Flux) Church of negation 550-800 (very high flux) Spells: Curse orb 15-20?

Feels bad) Infect 3500-4000 (used to be 3k even, but they discontinued free daily boosters to the current bfp reserve and booster discount system.) -------------------- Rares: Moderate supply, expect consistent prices.

Dwarf Riddle expert runs. 13-11 mins with randos. 5-6 minutes with a team who has optimized it. Runner only have has access to 1 teammate, so decomposer removal would matter less. It's easy enough when you guys know what to do, everyone mostly sits around spawning, giving ground presence and using spells. If decomposer was gone, most consistent gold runs would probably look similar to this or be Guns of Lyr *slow speedrun edition with randos.
-
You seen the puzzling rankings of multiplayer maps done by 1 player? Yes, we use one of those exploit runner strats, except cheese it even faster with 3 more t1 players. It's just as lazy easy and the difference in time can be as small as 3-5 minutes more than a decomposer run. Heck, Die to Play already runs an example of this type of Gold run regularly for fun that isn't Guns of Lyr. It isn't hard to do, you mostly sit there spawning units, and doesn't use decomposer. I'm pretty sure people would start complaining about these runs becoming infamously popular after a decomposer change.
-
Lets put it this way. Decomposer only makes whats possible faster. It does not remove the orbs already there. Remove it, we get spammed "Guns of lyr farming" Kings of Giants rotate runs! Insert____ map duo Gold farm It changes nothing because a new efficient spam method replaces it. In fact, I've already seen many already.
-
If you ever needed to kill a lot of XL units or have fun. Slap a Ravenheart down Cast Unholy hero + Life weaving on it. Heal it you have it later. Shoot harpoon (Unholy boosts dmg) , then mine (Unholy boosted dmg). Kite them by moving away from them. --------------------------- I think this is how Ravenheart was supposed to be played out, but t4 pvp is not a thing so it still remains a meme.
-
I hate this suggestion macabi. If anything, we should be INCREASING orb restriction The entire purpose of the game is to think around this. The game is not supposed to be "use enlightenment" or "splash Green" 24/7

Northland drake (b) no damage to twilight spawner.
chickennoodler replied to Payns84's topic in Client-Sided
Yes....... The breath attack for Northland drakes hits the first enemy in it's path in a straight line like Fire Dragons and Bandit gunners. Aimed at the target, the enemy in front absorbs the projectile dmg just like when u fight treefiends and they only hit your front lines etc. It does not work like Skyfires or Swamp drakes where it directly smacks just the target. Edit: Apparently this topic has already shown up before and I answered it. I thought it was familiar. -

Don't remove skyfire. Global warming in pve is a dead card. Switch that card with something. -

Northland drake breath damages the 1st target in it's path first, not the target you clicked. Like Fire dragons. -
Proposal to reduce the power of greefing
chickennoodler replied to Metagross31's topic in Suggestions
You know what makes me laugh? These people are griefing on a private server that says " no making more than 1 account" You get banned once on 1 account, Skylords is structured to to ban you entirely. Yet that guy still trollololed a newbie. Battleforge unfortunately has a lot of ally dmg and team kill spells, but anyone who tries to troll this way always seems to forget how easily Skylord Perma ban people. In other words, they're actually that short sighted and dumb. -
If I have a slight advantage, I would force this situation and you've now lost 2 wells and an orb and I win the game instantly. That's what I mean about being careful with tools. It's a problem if the enemy has no chance to recover no matter how well they play We can't give frost the same quality in t1 units as the rest. It sucks but Frost t1, is extremely unbalanced. It all stems from Frost mage and homesoil +50% dmg aoe Anything given to frost stacks with this combo.
-
Personally, I think we should just buff Frost Sorc attack to suitable Medium size countering damage level and start from there, but let's examine your proposals. ---> initial proposal What? Like Wanderer? Warlock?They will waste so much time self buffing each other. Unlike Shamans and Timeshifters, they target each other at full health and are really mechanically really shitty as this wastes too much time. Try it ingame, 4 wanderers(keep out of melee for test) or 4 Warlocks and 4 archers, vs 4 squads. Now try 8 of the same Archer squads vs the same 4 squads. It's real frustrating watching them self buff while the archers are fighting right? ------------------------------------ ----->Alt proposal 1 This is the most likely to work. Not overpowered or mechanically broken. ------>Alt proposal 2 T1 frost is the king of brute strength buffing. This proposal is too strong in combination with the cancer of frost Frost mage+ Barrier + Homesoil. It might even too powerful to give even 2 units ice shields at once at t1. We have to keep in mind who we're giving tools to, this is a faction with t1, +50%dmg, -40-50% dmg reduc spells. I would not want to fight 6 ice shielded homesoiled frost mages with Wintertide protection attacking my wells.

That's not a bug. If Satanel didn't do that, no one would play it. It would be the next Necrowagon. The pop cap usage sealing on Satanels is Brutal. That's why they're so cheap, their strength of summoning over pop cap is also their greatest weakness as it's *required to get any value out of them. In pvp, AOE spam and knockback is so common, spamming t1 units does not help you much.
