NAME: Power Shrines in Sunbridge can be frozen despite having artifact immunityDisconnect once loaded into Forge

REPRODUCIBILITY: Tried it on both shrines in the same game (expert diff), worked on
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Replay is attached.2022-08-29_15-39-44_Sunbridge_diff3_s29404_{GM}Metagross31_XTRHUNTER_time_0_19_31.0_v258.pmv

Hello Skylords, Skyladies and other Skybeings.
Welcome to the seventh official PvE event!
It has been a while since the last official event, especially a multiplayer event, but we still hope you will have a lot of fun with this event!
.thumb.png.b4eb3cb0e8be1073f2e8803adbd6ba8d.png)
Quick overview:
What kind of event will it be?
PvE - Advanced - Bad Harvest with a point systemFor this challenge, we want to see you succeed in playing the map Bad Harvest, while accomplishing several goals of varying difficulty.
The more objectives your team accomplishes, the more points you get, which will lead to greater rewards!
Additionally, the teams with the highest number of points will receive some extra rewards.
But there is more! Similar to the beloved Crappy Community Contests, there will be something the entire community will work towards. Once the combined points of all submitted runs surpasses a certain threshold, the prizes for everyone will be increased.
So gather a team, polish your strategy and go for the Highscore!
How can I participate?
Everyone with an ingame account can participate in the event - there is no need to sign up separately.
You just have to send in your best replay, including the player names, the time of the replay and what objectives you accomplished. [Note: Your entry has to be a victory]
For example:
Low points: A, C, D; Total: 700
Mid points: K, L, P; Total: 1500
High points: all; Total: 3800
Penalty points: W; Total: -1000
Total points: 5000
You can send in your replays until the 02.12.2022.
Please note:- You are allowed to compete with multiple teams, but only your highest score will determine the rewards you win, meaning you can only get rewards for one submission.
- You are allowed to compete with a team of less than 4 people, or even alone.
You can find your replays here: Documents=>Battleforge=>replays

* Check the FAQ for clarifications.Since those are a lot of objectives, we prepared a spreadsheet, which you can use to keep track of the objectives you want to complete and which player should complete them. You can find this spreadsheet here. Since this is a public spreadsheet, we recommend creating your own copy of it to not interfere with others.
Time Score:
There will also be points awarded for time. The faster you finish the map, the more points you will get with a maximum of 1500p.
There are no preset time windows that determine your time score, instead your time is compared to all entries.
This means that every second counts when it comes to your time score!
However, you can not lose any points by having a slow time. So it is up to you to decide whether you want to go for as many objectives as possible or if you want to leave some out in the hope of getting a better time.
You do not have to calculate the time score yourself, we will calculate the time score for every entry.
For a detailed explanation on how the time score is calculated, see the FAQ below.FAQ
In order to reduce confusion about the objectives, we have precompiled a list of questions you might have and answered them beforehand.
If you have any questions about one of the objectives, please check this FAQ first.
If your question is not yet answered in the FAQ, feel free to ask in this thread. That way it can be clarified and added to the FAQ.Questions about specific objectives:
SpoilerPreparing the Turkey:
This is a screenshot of the penninsula in question
Fire/Shadow/Frost/Nature mastery:
You are allowed to play neutral cards.
You are not allowed to enlighten a non-nature, except neutrals, unit when going for Nature mastery.Don't step onto the fields:
"Crossing the wall" includes: Walking across where the wall is/was, flying over it, getting knocked over it, using Nether Warp to get over it, using a transportation ability, such as the ones of Phase Tower, Scythe Fiends, Lost Warlord or Witchclaws to get over it, using any form of mind control on a unit of the opposite side of the wall or spawning a unit on the opposite side of the wall while using ground presence granted by an entity on your side, abusing any glitches or unintended behavior in unit collisions. Other ways to cross the wall, which are not listed here, but violate the spirit of this goal, are not allowed either.
You are allowed to get around the wall by using other parts of the map.
This is a screenshot of the wall in question:
Beyond the trodden path:
"Crossing the line" includes: Walking across the line, flying over it, getting knocked over it, using Nether Warp to get over it, using a transportation ability, such as the ones of Phase Tower, Scythe Fiends, Lost Warlord or Witchclaws to get over it, using any form of mind control on a unit of the opposite side of the line or spawning a unit on the opposite side of the line while using ground presence granted by an entity on your side.
You are allowed to get around the line by using other parts of the map. Other ways to cross the line, which are not listed here, but violate the spirit of this goal, are not allowed either.
This is a screenshot of the line in question (The line cannot be seen ingame, I drew it in there manually):
Calculation of the time score:
SpoilerThe mean time and standard deviation of all entries is calculated.
Every entry, that is more than 1.385 times the standard deviation slower than the mean, will not score any points for time (On a perfect Gaußian distribution this would be the lowest ~5%).*
For the other entries a quadratic scale is applied, such that the fastest time gets 1500 points and a time, that would have barely made it into the rating, would get 0 points.
To be precise, the time points are calculated using the formula:
where s is 1.385 times the standard deviation, t_m is the mean time and t_0 is the fastest time.
The resulting time score is rounded down to the closest whole number.
Sounds fun! What's the prize pool?
In contrast to past events, this event is less about how you fared in comparison to everyone else and more about how many points you collected overall. Thus, your reward will be directly based on your final score, including your time score. Note, that all rewards listed here are per player.1000-2499 points: 100 BFP
2500-3749 points: 1 Mini Booster
3750-4999 points: 1 Mini Booster + 100 BFP
5000-5999 points: 1 General Booster
6000-6999 points: 2 General Boosters
7000-7999 points: 3 General Boosters
8000-8999 points: 5 General Boosters
9000-9999 points: 8 General Boosters
10000+ points: 8 Boosters of your choice + 1 BFP per point beyond 10000Additionally, the team with the highest total score will be rewarded a promo Harvester (1 per Player).
Furthermore, if the combined score (without time score) of all participating teams surpasses 75.000 points, all prizes will be increased by 50%!
How will the winners be presented?
This is yet to be determined. We will keep you updated about this.

If you are interested in fighting more against shadow units, I can recommend the 2p community map "Army of Darkness". In it you have to face off against shadow units especially in the beginning.

Army of Darkness in 27:07.9 by me (solo). This run can easily be beaten with probably any 2player composition. Especially since I wasted a lot of time in the beginning.

F. E. In "city of tears" everything after u killed the cages is irrelevant for the time. You just need to hold out. And not even need to kill the Boss.
I think you mean "Warrior on the Mountain". In City of Tears you do need to clear the boss.

S-Tier cards satisfy one of the two following conditions:
1) [...]
2) cards that circumvent rules of the game by warping the gameplay [...] or by simply giving the player more power (Breeding Grounds, Resource Booster and Construction Hut).

Interesting bit of statistics 🙂
I personally did not expect Stonekin to be so underrepresented.I can also warmly recommend checking out the community map section. There are some real hidden gems in there, which also make use of the lesser represented factions.

Have you thought about making the orb spawn from hybrid T1 dependant on affinity? It's not ideal, since you'd still have to grab a specific affinity for your deck but better than nothing...
This would mean though, that every T1 splash unit would need to have affinities and they would have to match the required colours. This not only limits freedom in design, but also is rather tough to communicate to the player.

Hey MrTycoon,
sadly I do not know a lot about the lore in BF, but I know that there is a Discord server which is themed around BF lore and possible expansions.
Maybe you can also post your ideas there too, so it also gets seen by people, who are not that active in the forums.

Btw, we just added a few more singleplayer maps to the rankings, since those seem to be the most popular ones.

(rarer=better.. or not?)
Not neccessarily. It's basically "rarer=more complex", but there are already lots of cards out there, where rare does not mean strong, e.g. when you compare Lost Horror and Nox Carrier.

"Designing for Card Rarity" is the title, you may find it over there:Check out what Dallarian posted for more in depth info 🙂

I'm still sad - that transcendence isn't worth taking to casual decks.
I have used Transcendence to some success as a substitute for Motivate in some units spam decks, such as Emberstrike, Rifle Cultists and Death Ray. It worked out quite well I think. Maybe this can give you some ideas on how to use it. Just try it out, maybe it works for you 🙂

So you are saying I could be number 1 for a very sort time probably, cause if I'm the first one to submit, I am 1st right?
Indeed! Maybe you will even stay at rank 1 for some while 🙂

Hey Xathe,
welcome to the game and to the forums 🙂
Do you want to keep playing Bandits/Fire/Shadow for now or are you looking for deckbuilding advice in general?One thing I see right off the bat is, that you do not have any healing/sustain spells besides Ravage. Maybe you should try out Bloodthirst, Bloodhealing or Unity. Especially the blue affinity of Unity gives a lot of sustain and either Bloodthirst applied to your T4 army or Bloodhealing used on a freshly spawned Emberstrike can give very nice healing 🙂

Bug when selecting rPvE difficulty while teammate is still in game
in Report A Bug
Posted
NAME: Bug when selecting rPvE difficulty while teammate is still in game
DESCRIPTION: When you are in a multiplayer rPvE game as the group leader, leave the game but stay in the group and then go to the rPvE game creation screen and set the difficulty slider to anything besides 1 (e.g. 10) while someone of your team is still ingame and then this person leaves the game and you click "Create Game" while the slider is still on 10, a lobby with difficulty 1 will be opened instead.
REPRODUCIBILITY: Happened to me twice in a row, once I was completely baffled, that we were in a diff. 1 map, second time I noticed what was going on and re-opened the lobby properly
LOG: Is attached (quite the long log though with multiple games in it)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I think this could be a rather easy fix in the client files. I can look into this, if you want.
_log_proxy_latest.log
Here are the relevant replays:
The first one was a game all but one player left, then I set the slider to 10, once the last player left I clicked the "Create Game" button and we ended up in a diff 1 game. For the last game I noticed what was going on and re-opened the lobby after seeing it was on diff 1.
