Welcome to the forums :) 3032

Hello Speedrun Community, with Patch #400035 the in-game rankings were reset due to substantial balancing changes, rendering the majority of previous records unachievable. The old forum post where all all-time records were tracked until then has been archived here. Below is a comprehensive overview of the new period's all-time fastest speedrun rankings as they can be found in-game. This list also includes the best times set by teams that played with fewer players than the maximum allowed on the map. The following criteria determine the rank 1 entry in order of importance: Highest difficulty Fastest time Least number of players Note, that only the Map of the Month is eligible for Battleground ranking entries. Each month a different randomly generated PVE scenario takes its place. Unless stated otherwise times are achieved on Expert+ (8) [Battlegrounds] / Expert [Campaign] difficulty. If you have achieved a new record and cannot find it here, please let us know! 🙂 Last complete update: 21 April 2024 Battleground Rankings: #Players Time Players Date 1-Player Maps: 1 player 10:53.8 RadicalX December 2023 2-Player Maps: 2 players 11:32.8 Hirooo + RadicalX January 2023 1 player 14:30.4 RadicalX July 2023 4-Player Maps: 4 players 08:46.9 Damo + Hirooo + Nyakyua + RadicalX January 2024 3 players 10:42.4 arabika + Hirooo + RadicalX September 2022 2 players 12:15.1 Hirooo + RadicalX January 2024 1 player 15:54.7 Mocaak January 2024 Campaign Rankings: 1-Player Maps: Scenario Time Players Date Behind Enemy Lines: 11:11.5 RadicalX February 2023 Defending Hope: 20:35.5 [Multiple Players] --- Encounters w.

Shadow also has 3 promos: Harvester, Fallen Skyelf, Snapjaws 🙂 Another interesting fact: In the twilight edition, each faction had exactly one Ultrarare spell, one UR building and 3 UR units, with the Units being split as one on T2, 3 and 4 respectively. Out of those, only Mountaineer and Primeval Watcher were the only splashable, i.e. non pure, units. The buildings except Mindweaver were all T3 and required 2 faction orbs and 1 neutral orb, same for all spells except Backlash.

Hey Jigsaw, welcome back to the game 🙂 Since this is just a community project and not sponsored or endorsed by EA, we are not allowed to make any money from it whatsoever. Therefore, it is not possible to buy ingame goods with reallife money, nor wilk it ever be. You can get bfp by playing the game, i.e. spending time in matches, completing daily quests and achievements, event rewards or trading with other players (also, just with ingame goods. Trading with irl money with other players will get you banned!). You can also buy a 100bfp cheaper booster everyday after playing for 45 minutes.

The log file we need is _log_proxy_latest.log. Restarted your game already? No worries, just send the previous log, which is _log_proxy_0.log. If your game closed without any error message, then please send us your crashdata.mdmp aswell. Not sure where to find the logs? Here's where:

Can you also send a log file? Did it produce a replay file?

Wait a second, does that mean they have to take 0 damage or just survive?

Can't wait to use Tranquility in PvP 🙂

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. 2022-08-29_16-01-26_RPvEFourPlayers_diff10_s61706_{GM}Metagross31_Semp224_Chris93_Arezizt_time_0_08_30.0_v258.pmv 2022-08-29_16-03-31_RPvEFourPlayers_diff1_s25469_{GM}Metagross31_Semp224_Chris93_Arezizt_time_0_01_02.0_v258.pmv 2022-08-29_16-23-40_RPvEFourPlayers_diff10_s9000_{GM}Metagross31_Semp224_Chris93_Arezizt_time_0_19_07.0_v258.pmv

NAME: Power Shrines in Sunbridge can be frozen despite having artifact immunityDisconnect once loaded into Forge DESCRIPTION: The Amii power shrines in the map Sunbridge have artifact immunity, which should make them immune to the freeze+Shatter Ice combo. The combo can be used on them though. 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

Welcome 🙂 Hope you enjoy the game! Also, feel free to check out the Discord if you want. If you really are into art, you van also look into our open artist positions. Or you can just create fanart, there can never be too much of that 🙂

The first 4p run is here: Twisted Legends in 28:59.5 by Talgat, Kapo and me. 2022-08-26_17-47-19_CommunityMap4P_twisted_legends_diff3_s8680_{GM}Metagross31_Talgat_Kapo_time_0_28_59.5_v258.pmv

Wish granted, but now he is retired 😞 I wish updates would not break replays every time.

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! Quick overview: What kind of event will it be? PvE - Advanced - Bad Harvest with a point system For 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 What are the objectives? This event will have a point system: points will be rewarded by completing the following objectives. The goal is to get as many points as possible! You don't have to complete them all, but of course you should aim for as many points as you can in a single run. It is important, however, that your final score from objectives is greater than zero. Runs with a negative score do not qualify. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Low points: A: Sharing is caring: 200p Have at least two different players build the orbs and power wells next to the gold wagon. (One orb and 4 wells per player) B: Preparing the Turkey: 200p (+100p if the unit used is a Beast-unit) Fly 3 laps around the small peninsula below the first guild cannon using any flying unit. (See FAQ for a screenshot) C: Saving the harvest: 200p Don't let the gold chest next to the gold wagon get destroyed. D: Saving the tractor: 300p Don't let the gold wagon take any damage.

X: Halloween is already over: -1000p Play out Necrofury or Mutating Frenzy. Y: Rounding up the crops: -1000p Play out two or more overlapping instances of Aura of Corruption at the same time. Z: Your time has not yet come: -1000p Play out Santa Claus. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total penalty points: -6000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 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: Calculation of the time score: 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 10000 Additionally, 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. Future events If you are interested in helping with these kinds of events for the community, or want to host one yourself, don't be afraid and simply reach out! Send me a PM on the forum, or direct message via Discord (Metagross31#1103). We are happy to assist you with upcoming events and with sponsoring your prize pool! We hope you have a lot of fun with this event, and we are looking forward to seeing all your replays! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Best regards, Skylords Reborn Team

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.

City of Tears in 9:54.4 by Donnar, 10:36.7 by me and in 13:25.0 by Emmaerzeh. 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. 2022-08-18_18-06-44_CommunityMap2P_supremekingrogan_diff3_s59749_{GM}Metagross31_time_0_27_07.9_v258.pmv Simple Land 2 in 23:03.7, Simple Land 3 in 21:04.9 2022-08-21_14-07-54_CommunityMap2P_pve_simple_land_2_diff3_s61830_{GM}Metagross31_D4rkm4tt3r_Dark_time_0_23_03.7_v258.pmv 2022-08-21_14-35-47_CommunityMap2P_pve_simple_land_3_diff3_s25830_{GM}Metagross31_D4rkm4tt3r_Dark_time_0_21_04.9_v258.pmv

3029 Well... okay 😄

Event Stream when?

I think you mean "Warrior on the Mountain". In City of Tears you do need to clear the boss.

Juice Tank S-Tier confirmed? 🙃

3027 Dude, calm down! 😄
