Tynon Team

These new features are all very excellent

I would like to point a few things out to everyone

The VIP rewards in Lab
It costs 10 gems to double your coins and credit rewards only, and these are only the new extra rewards not the ones you normally get.

The addition of chips is excellent as well

The SORT ALL Button is now broke with this patch

It appears that Speakers can no longer be sold and mysteriously reappear in your inventory later. Now you can only abandon, so hopefully they stay gone now

Cianna's animation is fixed THANK YOU

Free Star Fridays
Make sure you click PARTICIPATE under weekly events before buying medals - You should then see in the STARS tab in the bottom right corner a counter labeled RETURNABLE after you have purchased Medals

MEDALS PURCHASED IN GUILD CHESTS ARE NOT COUNTING - IMO THIS IS A BUG and should be corrected since you PURCHASE THE MEDLAS WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE CHEST

Medals you get in a guild chest are not purchased.
Purchased medals are those you use gems to buy.

Medals that you get in arena are not returnable.
Medals you get from beating a quest boss are not returnable.
ergo
Medals you get from a guild chest are not returnable.

EXCELLENT patch and update.
Thank you Tynon

I completely agree with 90% of that herby

This is an AWESOME patch.

But guild chests are purchased ergo the stars you receive in them are purchased so ergo they should be returnable. Quest boss and arena stars should not be they are clearly a reward and not purchased.

It does not state Medals purchased with gems. It simply says purchased. I purchased 5 with 100 guild contributions ergo they should be returnable

Absolutely LOVE the new patch! And it fell on my birthday so I guess Happy Birthday to me!! :)

Medals from guild chests are not purchased, they are won at random. We're talking about medals purchased the vendors in Aerie or from Discount tiles in Labyrinth.

Thanks for the clarification Dawn

We will have to agree to disagree on the fact that whatever is in the guild chest is purchased or awarded. Still an awesome patch.

Can we get the SORT ALL Button fixed soon?

Excellent news

And thank you so much today for being so quick with your responses. I really appreciate that

I'll be keeping an eye on the guild chests to see if the coins are still coming back as half the reward value. Just after server rollover this morning I opened 2 separate Gold chests. One gave me the correct 1200k I was expecting, the other gave me the defective value of 600k.

2 great patches/updates in a week! great work tynon, glad to see the game coming to life a little bit more :)

I like the Fast Forward and Result button in Pirates

Nice addition

Can we get these buttons on all fights PvP and NPC

Just for Clarification, What about the stars purchased at the Fair, since they are purchased with Gems?

I love the new features, especially the enhanced rewards in Lab. That will help give a little more reward based on skill. (Lab is a lot of luck. But you need some skill to consistently get good scores.) I'm anxious to confirm whether the doubling in Lab doubles chips too; someone said it doesn't. If I can spend 10 gems to get a lvl 4 chip, then that's awesome! If I spend 10 gems to get about 1 million coins and 500K credits, that's not really worth it. But I'll try the next time I hit 700+.

And I'm glad to hear the Sort All button will be fixed tomorrow. My inventory's a mess.

I do have a complaint while I'm at it. It was good to see that you previously took away Sanctification bonuses that are completely worthless. But there are still some that are nearly worthless. Like Block on a mage. And Morale is lame compared to pretty much anything else. After all, getting more than 100 Morale doesn't help, and serious players already have all the Morale they need from their runes.

These are returnable. I got one from there just a few ago and it counts. Just a note, the ones from the chest in lab do NOT count towards returnable, ONLY the ones from the Discount squares in lab, any bought from fair, or any bought inside the Star screen under hero.

The only thing that doubles in lab are the EXTRA coins and credits form the rewards.
All useless sanctificatiosn were removed. If you still have it it is useful in some way. Although I agree I hate getting morale as a saint bonus.

before the patch, you would get a token for completing the Lab [even if you scored in the 300's or 400's], Now you can only be sure of getting a Token if you score 500 or more,
if you score less than 500 then you will not get a token.
I do not count the Shuffles that the extra bosses can give you, since that is chance.

You get a token for defeating the guardian regardless of score. The rewards will give you an additional token
and then additional tokens on flips are possible
so if you score 500 you get 2 tokens the a possible 3rd from the 1st extra boss

Seconded. I want a fast forward button or results button on fights, especially for World Bosses and PvP encounters that come during bad times (such as world bosses).

I like the new patch, except that there should be a reward posted in Labyrinth for winning the Labyrinth with 0 - 499 points.

I don't know actually. We'll find out together on Tuesday! I know that it still costs credits to refresh.

I seem to remember getting a free card last Tuesday on the beta server, but I can't recall for sure. Really hoping it's free cards too since I have recruited most of the heroes on my actual live account.

No You! These bonuses are all in addition to what already existed, and you get them even if you don't kill the Guardian.

Two badass updates in week(something like that).

Gotcha the window where token usually is... is just blank now but you still get it, good deal.

Well ive purchased 4 stars from the fair so far today, and its telling me only 1 is returnable, shall not be bothering with free star friday again

should probably nerf the ridiculous destiny tiles next. so i dont get a stop tile at first move,or lose 20 moves less then 5 turns into the lab.

you can not step on them you know

Well, I can confirm that you do get the extra stars for ones purchased from the Fair as well. They're still evil though; I spent 77 gems, and Cianna has two LESS Stars than she did before. Other players have heros with 6 or more stars, and I have heros with one or two because more than half of the time (I've kept track.), I LOSE a Star when I try. The high failure rate is bad enough, but I shouldn't spend gems and then lose power that often.

But I'm stuck trying because I need more Stars to be competitive with the people who don't have such awful luck.

Herby...you really should respond,when you in fact actually you know what you're talking about :). have tons of pics of an entire corner of my map being destiny tiles. so yeah you cant avoid that one smarts when its the whole last portion of my maze near the boss. AVG higher scores then you do..i think i know well how to play it. but when a entire set of labs is literally based off stopping you from completing it its a bunch of crap. no one should toss away 10 gems and 60 stam for a bonus lab when you wont beat it due to getting a stop at the first turn or multiple of them at the last. even if you save your skip,and switch events majority of the time when you switch a destiny its just another destiny.

yeah i have had that pain, switch a destiny and it turns to be destiny again, that's nonsense but had to try and waste gems on them.

at the very minimal they should make it so if you switch a event,it can NOT go back to be the same exact event.

i think its pure random and may be devs should have a look at it, like i always say a game can never be based on luck, either make it on skill or cash, luck is some thing which disappoints way too many players.

I personally love the new rewards in the Lab. However, I would like to suggest the following modification to them:

Each progression of the lab becomes harder, so the rewards should increase per level. SO level 1 normal should give more rewards then level 1 easy, level 1 hard should give more rewards them level 1 normal etc.
