But if it wasn't for these crazy attacks when the Phoenix is on its last legs, I do think they would be too easy. I agree that four fireballs in one round is too much though. An expedition monster should not be allowed to do twice as many special attacks in one round. That's plain silly. We don't get to randomly deal an extra round of attacks with our weapons after all...

The 3 successes were a small white dragon, a very small black dragon and a phoenix.

And arguably it could be reduced to 27 out of 30 because of the run of 5 golem/red dragons in the middle of the fails ..... but even at 3 successes in 30, that is a little ridiculous, especially considering some of the expo parties that were wiped out in the space of 1-2 rounds with special attacks.

Yeah, that goes way beyond bad luck alright Gendibal. I think the double special attacks are the real problem and that's what is wiping entire parties out. The devs should think about limiting Phoenix to two fireballs per round, because four is just overkill.

Bliitz, I don't have any failed ones saved to post for you, but I can recount if that helps. I think we showed something like eight successes. I've been the lucky git that has started most of those because Zenfalcon and Kralen keep getting the "wrong" monster. We've had three Red Drakes and one Golem in the past week, all failed. I think we were beaten by two or three Phoenixes in that time as well. So overall, maybe a 50/50 success to fails ratio. Something that keeps you quite content. If I was Gendibal or Diablo, I'd be pulling my hair out for sure though...

Big Phoenix anyway. Unlucky though. The sword works so much better than the sniper. You should try and get something like Murderous for the agility and crit boost. Can you fit a fourth person with 100+ agility at all? Could make all the difference too...

Going by the logic that has been put forward by the devs/admins so far, the Red Dragon is a gunnery weak creature, so a player stripping most of its hp using melee must mean that it needs powering up on all servers (regardless of whether or not players on other servers have actually reached this stage yet)

I'd say that he's both bunnery and melee weak, but with an attack that one-shots one player Smile

I think with that last one the special couldn't have help either.

No one on the game can get above 1000 hp without building bonuses, so if the dragon decides to spontaniously use 4 firebreathes in one round, everyones going to be dead just like that.

I've never seen a red Drag use multiple specials in a round, its the Phoenix' that uses the ridiculous multiple specials

*EDIT http://r1.bloodwars.net/showmsg.php?mid=5646579&key=78af2d1c06

What a surprise ...... NOT ..... the very next Phoenix does 3 consecutive rounds consisting of 4 specials. Interesting to note how the fireball only did half as much damage to the defence 51 member (150 - 180 approx) as it did to the defence 171 member (320 - 340).

So that brings the total to 34 failures out of 37 attempts ........ bad luck? I think not.

Sorry, I believe that you aren't allowed to advertise other games on this forum/website. I know it is stupid, but I will have to remove those game names'.

PS. That was hilarious Tongue

I'll buy it start price 7 BS (wish that I had 7 BS Tongue

)

PPS. Bunnery is a typo of 'Gunnery' Tongue

Lol

...How is saying the NAME of a game in my post advertising it? Especially seeing as it's a TV show first.

...and on that note...there isnt any pokemon online game that i know of
so unless i'm advertising nothing, then i'm very confused.

Should be able to buy some kinda little monster pet though. Be a great adition to the game.

Google is powerful so even saying only the name is advertising Big Grin

And a little pet would be a good idea. It would gain experience with every ambush and have special attacks like the expedition mobs Smile

Pets would be cool, but what animals would vampires keep do you think?

I reckon some sort of dog?

Perhaps if they had their own arcana, there would be 4 different breeds:

Doberman=Beastmaster

Bloodhound=Absorber

Poodle=Cultist

Jack Russel=Thoughtcatcher Tongue

1. I don't know what year you live in, but in my era there are ??? games for the DS and Gameboy.

2. I do not believe that there is an online game, but as stated in 1, there are other games...

Well scillage, since it's not an online game then we could leave them uncensored. Just look at this thread, it's full of offline games Smile

Ok, end of offtopic.

I think pets shouldn't be like items but like a small help in ambushes (they wouldn't work in sieges), an additional pair of attacks Smile

haha well seeing as the threads about expedition mods being out of whack, it's safe to say that the expos wouldn't succeed and would therefore take alot longer to get 10,000 POP

hmmmm, 2 people doing 0 damage, that equals the amount of people taken out in 1 round by special attacks there.

And I notice these comments only come out when theres a clear 'reason', what happened to the explanations when we were showing 4 specials in 2 rounds? just a quick comment of 'bad luck, maybe it'll be different next time' ............ these sorts of figures are not purely bad luck, the quality of some of the decimated teams shows that. Someone, somewhere either isn't quite telling the truth, or is stretching the literal meaning of what they are saying about these mobs.

you still cant expect to win with only two people dealing damage. a small phoenix has around 3500 and you and zen covered that after 6 rounds. you need an extra hitter i think for most DE expos

we've had parties of 4 hitters decimated by 4 specials in 2 rounds before, it doesn't matter how many quality hitters we have, the special attacks wipe out every possible permutation almost every time.

Well, If you had more hitters on THIS expedition you'd win it, I'm almost sure. Taking less hitters cause they MAY be killed by special attacks isn't very reasonable I think.

http://r1.bloodwars.net/showmsg.php?mid=...&key=186c603140

has it always been four specials in your expos?

Would we? Or would the special attacks have started earlier (at the earliest possible opportunity as usual). The expo would have just been over faster with (going from the rate indicated by previous attempts) around a 1 in 13 chance of the players winning, so you're probably wrong there Szeszej.

Not always 4, sometimes the party go down too fast to see what else would have come out in the round ..... but in most of the phoenix it has been 3-4 specials over 2 rounds, yes.

now 35 out of 39, still not a phoenix kill tho.
