didnt finish all the battle 39/50
overall its fun and reward player tactical skill.
indeed it is massive gold sink cuz we do not get any gold.
as CL 13 offense tamer DE I find the enemy difficulty from strongest to weakest are :
offense pirate, holy magic pirate, darkness magic pirate, necro pirate. | indeed it is massive gold sink cuz we do not get any gold.
Well you'll get an art at the end, so you never know, it would be worth it. :)
offense pirate, holy magic pirate, darkness magic pirate, necro pirate.
Did you not get any chaos mages?
For me undead pirate was the easiest, until their stacks of ghosts just got too big..
My current score is Victories / Combats: 48 / 61
Doing a few more in the evening though.
I enjoyed the event, I feel like the massive gold sink was definitely worth it (in terms of enjoyment value), the difficulty could be tweaked a little bit, like selecting which level we want to do, to keep it enjoyable instead of seeing win loss win loss...
I definitely preferred this event over the 1 vs 1 pirate in terms of enjoyability. | My current score is Victories / Combats: 63 / 84
Lost many battles because of afk people :| | @Slust, you said and I quote: 'Besides the difference in rank is probably more due to the fact that when you promote or demote it takes more than one win (or even two in a row) (if you demoted) or loss (if you promoted) to get back to your former rank than the rebalance.'
Here is the list of needed wins for the ranks:
http://daily.heroeswm.ru/n/FAQ_Hunting_pirates
I am of rank midshipman which starts at 28 wins, next rank is at 31 wins, so my win range should be around 28-30. I'm at 62/84. I see the top 2 people at rank Leviathan while they both have 16 losses, meaning they ended it at 68/84, now for the rank Leviathan you need at least 67 wins without any deduction.
So do show me your probability how his 6 more wins added him a difference of at least 37 wins and 7 ranks higher.
From the looks of it the rebalance has become even worse since to be able to reach the rank of Leviathan with 68/84 result it means nothing got deducted by their losses. What's worse the 2 people under them have only got 1 more loss which resulted in 2 ranks under them meaning a difference of 17 wins. Either the admins really botched it up or some are favored by them resulting into special treatment. Their silver difference is even at 260 silver, so while players IceZorro and orogoo got deducted at a loss, the players _Verboten_777 and Alkon007 did not and kept on getting max silver at a win or loss since even a win on the high rank leviathan gives only 85 silver meaning a difference of 260 silver and the difference of 2 ranks could not be reached by the difference of just only one win. Oh how just the admins have been on this event. | @Meshy
oh yeah pirate chaos mage, probably it is second easiest just above necro pirate. at CL 13 the enemy dont have expert sorcery so their spell very slow and AI does not get his priority right.
well, art in the end maybe only worth a little penny because everyone have it. maybe for top 100 participant they get extra limited art worth hundred thousand gold. but being top 100 is hard if you don't have fixed partner | PErsonally with all events I treat them like gambling. I invest time and online gold (in the form of arts). As a result of this trade agreement I get
Good EXP/FSP ratio
An interesting tactical experience

These are all clearly good things.
I also expect some form of reward at the end, however accept that I have gambled on this outcome, it is knowingly and willingly done so. IF they don't give anything then I will be disappointed (and shocked) but accept that I entered that arrangement, they did not make me. If it pays off financially that would be great, but I do not expect to - gambling rarely does, however I will always have the first 3 points as a reward, and I reconcile myself that that is good enough on its own merits.
My only meaningful criticism on this event was that I think 12 battles per day, even with 2 days extra was rather a lot. I played more than I should to try and get some done, and still came up over 20 short.
With regard to the ranking thing, from the info you said it seems harsh, however my experience of how things ranked did not fit with the info you described. (I must confess I have not visited the site you mentioned).
From my point of view thinking logically if you just ranked up, then lost straight away you would get demoted (if based purely on a score, increase for win, decrease from a loss and certan scores relating to the rank). I know this cannot be the case as I have lost straight after a promotion, but not been demoted. To me I think it would seem that as you rank up they start the count again, you need a certain number of wins to go up, and a certain number to go down. Gven this mini reset it is not total wins or total losses that count, but the order of how they are done. Such that a regular pattern of 2-3 wins then a loss, is better than lots of wins in a row then a string of losses. if you look at the record of the wining people, then you will note they have a regular pattern of wins to losses, different to say a high scoring .commer like creatorofwidows who had massive win streaks, and some significant loss streaks.
This does not feel fair to be honest, and I Would have preferred to have a similar diffisulty mechanism to previously, but I am not that bothered realyl. | these events are very good but milesteg has a very good point: too many battles per day.
tbh i lost interest halfway through the event because of the attempts. Yes, i know i do not have to finish all 96 battles.
i do not even reach 30 battles when i totally lost interest knowing that it is really time consuming trying to keep up with the number of battles and ended up stopping early | for Lawton:
Why did you cite me if you're just ignoring what I wrote and going alone on your rant? | @Slust, so you could elaborate your made statement and show me your probability how his 6 more wins added him a difference of at least 37 wins and 7 ranks higher.
But instead you called it a rant, so do read more clearly next time instead of taking the Ad Hominem route. | | 63/84. No sure win necropirate in last 18 fight. | @Lord MilesTeg, to be honest the same thought had crossed my mind about the promotions and demotions, could even be that at a demotion you even end up at the minimal wins needed of that rank.
Players _Verboten_777 and Cyxou88 both ended with 68/84, while _Verboten_777 has rank Leviathan of at least 67 wins, player Cyxou88 has rank General-Admiral of at least 60 wins.
Let's examine even further:
Player _Verboten_777 first loss is at 20th match, meaning he is at rank gunsmith(16 winstreak)at that time. He wins next 2 matches to reach next rank of 21 wins so let's say the loss resets and doesn't get deducted and go like that from now on. Next loss is at 29th match while at rank of 24 wins, next loss is at 41th match sitting on rank of 36 wins, next loss is at 45th, but he wins 46th and reaches next rank at 42 wins, next loss is at 50th and at 55th, but he reaches next rank of 51 wins at 57th match resulting into another reset of losses. Next rank is at 60 wins which he reaches on 71th match while losing 5 times in between. He needs 7 wins to reach final rank which he reaches at 82th match while losing 4 times in between. So ending at 68/84 with the highest rank of Leviathan.
From the looks of it the admins went with this system while not being specific about it. | Now lets'examine player Cyxou88 which also ended up with 68/84 but 2 ranks lower.
His first loss is at 23th at the rank of 21 wins, next loss is at 35th with rank of 31 wins but loses next one again at 36th resulting into the 3 point deduction needed to go one rank down to the rank of 28 wins. Wins next three to get back to rank of 31 wins, loses at 40th but reaches next rank of 34 at 41th match so that loss gets reset. Next loss is at 47th while at rank of 36, looses at 51th but is allready exactly at next rank of 42. Now to reach next rank he needs 9 wins but losing 4 times means he gets demoted to rank of 36 since 4x1,5=6 and 42-6=36, which is exactly what happens, first loss allready happened at 51th. Next losses are at 55th, 57th and 58th resulting into demotion back to rank of 36. And so on ending with 2 ranks lower while statistically having the same end result of 68/84.
The ranking system is as follows:
3-6-10-16-21-24-28-31-34-36-42-51-60-67
This shows that after rank 28 up to 36 only 2 losses gets you demoted.
The tricky part is at rank 36 where you will have to win 6 times for next rank but if you happen to lose just 2 matches you get demoted back to 34. A lot of people got stuck around right there.
So in other words the ranking system is pretty out of order. | | dunno how that works, but i'm ending at 61/84 and just "senior boatswain".

^This, i can agree with completely.
Calling this event a gold drain maybe justified but its not a bad thing. Its a basic concept of this game and any economy that you have to spend money to enjoy anything. Atleast you are able to expect a reward here. | | When do we receive the art? at 24:00 or like much later? | | Probably a little bit later than midnight, just go to bed and when you wake up it will (hopefully) be there. | Google translate of news from .ru
Throughout the operation the heroes bravely fought with the pirates, sometimes even risking their lives to rescue the prisoners. Most of them seemed to stick with the sea: they foresee the impending storm, deftly maneuvering among the rocks and in a frenzy predator attacked a pirate fleet, depriving it of one ship after another. Among these sailors called Leviathans - the masters of the seas.
Morning found port city by surprise, breaking up the flimsy shade of midnight mist a light breeze, and the Gulf Coast of the Rising Sun aleyuschim light. Sometimes the shore nailed wreckage of destroyed vehicles, and then the two figures standing on the dock, looked at the remains of another wreck. It was At'Araksiya and leader of the dwarves, Tolgar. Dark Elf did not dare to climb aboard the ship, preferring to watch the operation from the shoreline.
- I heard that the pirates have repeatedly attacked your castle, but this time the Empire itself announced a hunt for them, - she said, casting a quick glance at Tolgara.
- The pirates are up to something, lady At'Araksiya, if we had not thwarted their plans, then sooner or later we would have had to sacrifice much more for the sake of victory, - he answered the dwarf, admiring his militant profile companion. He respected her for her fortitude and fighting spirit, but is still not well known, to be completely honest with her.
- During the long years of underground life, we have lost the habit of offensive operations. I can only take your word for it - after a short pause, At'Araksiya gestured to the East. - And what is there beyond the eastern islands?
- Earth, that once I found my home - a darker, briefly answered the dwarf, and then changed the subject. - We must go, otherwise we will miss the ceremony. I heard the dark elves-handlers adequately proved themselves in battle.
Heroes, a pirate fleet destroyed, and the remnants of their ships lie on the seabed. Empire thanks all those who responded to the battle cry and made a worthy contribution to this victory.
