Toggy 348 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) Hello Skyladies and Skylords, After the dust in the PvP arena settles there is still evil to slay: We must venture to the Nightmare Shard and take it at all cost! So after a lot of PvP tournaments I want to give some sugar to the PvE community aswell. This is a first attempt to give a little challenge on a map that probably nobody speedruns (and surely not on advanced), so everyone should be able to try some new strategys. What? Speedrun contest on Nightmare Shard. Send me your quickest replay to participate. Find the replays under Documents=>battleforge=>replays Infos! map: Nightmare Shard difficulty: advanced players: solo restricted cards: Enlightenment, Amii Monument Until when? Send me your replays via Discord until 25.10.20. I will sort them and cast the quickest run. Prize pool! 1st place - 3000 BFP + Construct Promo 2nd place - 2000 BFP + Enlightenment 3rd place - 1000 BFP + Amii Monument 4th-last - 300 BFP most creative strategy (in the top10) - 750BFP And every participant will get a Booster after the reset! If you guys like it there will be more and more of these little challenges in the future, let me know what you think about it. Looking forward to several cool replays!

Pritstift 145 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) PVE-Challenges are always nice :-). I think advanced mode opens the challenge for more players. Compared to expert mode its like playing in heaven^^. So some fun tactics still can be fast and more options are there to finish the map. More pve challenges in future with more specific restrictions can lead to a lot of fun. Especially like orb colour restrictions or more cards that should not be used. Also some challenges on expert mode still would be nice. Edited October 14, 2020 by Pritstift Link to post Share on other sites
Mynoduesp 230 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 PvE community challenges! There's a lot of restrictions and bonus objectives just waiting to be made. Back in the days I've participated on the tutorial deck challenges like the one linked below. Love'd them and am looking forward to you as a host for these events. Link to post Share on other sites
RuneSeeker 32 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hey Toggy, Is it okay to do the speedrun on the test server to have access to all cards & upgrades? Link to post Share on other sites

Yup that would be okay, after more than two years of Open Stress Test pretty much anyone has complete decks anyways... so yeah, no problem. RuneSeeker likes this Link to post Share on other sites
LEBOVIN 284 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Well probably limit it for all to the test server then, as ofc everybody has all cards there, but many cards are already different than on live servers. Edited October 16, 2020 by LEBOVIN Link to post Share on other sites
Pritstift 145 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Lebovin i dont see a big problem with balance changes. I think everybody can choose if to play on testserver or mainserver. Edited October 16, 2020 by Pritstift Link to post Share on other sites
LEBOVIN 284 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Well at current balancing state one should play on the test server ^^ For all that are not so familiar with the differences: https://skylords-reborn.fandom.com/wiki/Balancing Here you can find an overview of all changes, perhaps one of the cards in your deck has been buffed already (check out all 3 iteration tabs).

RuneSeeker 32 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I only started playing recently (played the original), so my cards are very low level compared to veterans who have all the upgrades and cards on the regular server. The recent PvP tournament was run in the test server, so there shouldn't be any problem with doing tourny's in the test server so everyone is equal. Hope I'm not being unreasonable!

Volin 507 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) This contest is great! I had to realize again that I am ok'ish in copying strategys, but not in inventing them On the one hard kinda hard to see, that I am not able to beat this map in average time x2 - but also this shows me how much I can learn still about this game.

Volin 507 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Asking myself too Current best time on the main server is even around 9:20 - I can't even imagine how thats possible Link to post Share on other sites

Toggy 348 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hey guys, this Wednesday evening I will cast the fastest and most creative replay of the challenge on stream around ~7pm! See you there. Greetings, DasToggy gemeiner Lauch and Halis like this Link to post Share on other sites
Toggy 348 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hey guys, The Nightmare Shard was overrun in a joint effort and we could determine the most fierce of all the Skylords! 1st - RadicalX (7:33) 2nd - Pritstift (8:08) 3rd - Mynoduesp (8:09) Notice that RadicalX replay has to be viewed on the Testserver, otherwise it wont work. The next PvE Challenge will come soon...
