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

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.

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! 😄

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.

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. https://discord.gg/BAxJRYJPrN Maybe you can also post your ideas there too, so it also gets seen by people, who are not that active in the forums.

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. Check out what Dallarian posted for more in depth info 🙂

Icedessert 11:29.2 Icedessert in 9:56.8 by me Also: Nyxia in 11:10.9 by RadicalX

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 🙂

Two new records: Nyxia in 13:08.8 by Emmaerzeh and Icedessert in 12:41.8 by me. Since I can't really verify my own record, I will just share my replay, so you can verify my time 🙂 2022-07-31_09-46-22_CommunityMap1P_eiswueste_diff3_s6821_{GM}Metagross31_time_0_12_41.8_v258.pmv
