What do you guys feel about the new event?

Fri Sep 23, 2016 12:32 pm

I am surprised the devs can squeeze in more grids for a portrait-only mobile game. The idea of being attacked from both front and back is novel as well.

What do you guys think?

My opinion about the new event : 

The "Ambush" type is very new , that the enemies can attack back and front. To me it's kinda challenging because I have to attack front but I also have to attack behind. I have mystic in the middle so I just have to use skills to attack all grids at the same time (LOL)

Since I like the story from the beginning, I find the storyline also interesting from the beginning when Aaria is being rough and fight Darrion, Leon and Theia
I'm so excited what the Dev can give us more about the Valiant Force story hahaha

I was stucked in Normal 6-9 wave 2 before, where I found succubuss and this is new because in this event, they have TWO bosses in one chapter.. so when I thought I already win but no, there are still one more boss wave (ugh!) 

Overall, to me, the new event is pretty challenging! it's the first they make the squad stand in the middle to fight front and back XD

Legendary could be a little easier. I have a pretty solid team right now and im hoping to clear it by next week but it seems a tad harder for me...maybe i have to continue trying for full team of 5*+2...
Anyone completed legendary and could provide tips on how to would be really helpful. Other than that its pretty engaging for a new event.

I like the new "Ambush" gameplay wise.
But i'm really annoyed but this never ending grind fest, that all korean games have.

I prefer the japanese style ones.
They love games, but they don't want/ don't have time to grind 24/24 for a mobile game.

They should make it more challangable and cut down the usless grind fest.

yes.. i would like to thank you to developer, XII brave, and fun plus for bringing us this event

i like this new event.. it is fresh and new.. and this make me believe VF have a lot of potential to make many more new kind of gameplay experience.

to be attacked from both side also make melee with big hp or def more viable in team to protect low def archer and mage.

I hope later VF will have many new exciting event just like this one.

The only downside of this event is.. it is repetitive.. after we complete it we just replay it or auto it, just the same like campaign, and daily event.
The thing that make we have fun play is challenging content that beatable or almost beatable that is not repetitive. Like when we play campaign map, it is fun.. we can strategize and have different opponent, but after we beat it thats it. Just auto it to level hero or grind gold drop. Thats why we like arena cause every time there is different opponent which we need to manually play to have a chance to beat if about the same power. And thats why some of us complain when we face opponent that is have full team 5* maxed when we only have 4* cause there is no challenge, only certain defeat.

So thats why i have a suggestion for VF in the future.. i hope VF can make daily event that is challenging but beatable (or almost beatable) for everyone.
I cannot descript it well but if u play mystic kingdom please make event like "Crown Battle" event. This event give us each day to challenge 15 team from weak to strong. And the interesting point is this event difficulty is based of our total 5 best heroes power, 15 best heroes power, and total power of all our heroes.  So this mean the event is always challenging but acceptable for everyone, no matter if u have 5 5* maxed hero with 6* equip +15 or just a team of 4* hero with normal equip. And every day the opponent is different, so it is not repetitive. And every time we beat a 3 or 5 team we got a nice reward. So even we cannot beat 15 team, even we beat 10 team we still can accept it.

And off course standart tower event will still be good in VF i think, with many different job and grid + movement system, VF can have good system tower event. With each level we need to complete it with different strategize and 'right' team composition. Like stair with all high MAG opponent, or stair with 'cannot use mystic and healer'. Not to mention maybe we can make 5 x 9 grid, with 'random/scramble team position'. Maybe even 2x2 pvp, or maybe guild even with bigger grid and maybe multiple player with each player give 3 heroes.

I know VF is only at CBT or soft launch and I am pretty sure all of what i said upstair, the developer team more or less already have an idea of it or already working toward it (like Conquest in guild).
I am really looking forward for it.. 

Thanks for your good work..

I have the same opinion with you.. but i just think all this grindfest and all time consuming gameplay only there because it is only CBT. Not enough content yet. I am pretty much sure after 2-3 month many new content will be there and the grindfest will became fewer. Just like 2x / 3x speed , if they applied it now then the player will complain the energy is not enough because every fight will finished too fast, or the player will leave VF because there is nothing to do with energy gone. But if there is a lot of content that take our time to play it than the 2x /3x speed will not have a negative effect to them.
So right now i just patient, but yea i hate this grindfest and hope they cut it down

It's a beta, they ask suggestions to players, we give it.
If you like the grindfest, not all need to be love it like you do.
You are welcome to not post a reply at all if your contribute on the threads or the post of other people are just throwing NOTHING out of the window.
Anyway thank you captain obvious!!

Yeah i hope the same.
Balancing this kind of stuffs are really hard to manage, but i still think that the japanese business model is still the best on a player-wise prospective.
And even japanese mobile companies find it really profittable just because it's not about "how much times you spent on a game" rather than the "quality of the time you spent on it" that make people more engaging on using money on it..


Just my 2 cents, everyone have different kind of opinion, just please, don't be rude and accept everyone thinkings.

Event seems fine, but overall Ambush mode just emphasise the fact that ranged unit > melee unit in PVE even more. Unless you have switch teleport/jump skills when you can't auto attack, basically you're wasting rounds. Regardless, it's still a nice change. 

What I liked:

- Aaria is cute
- Don't have to promote Aaria as an event achievement (but we have to promote 2 5*, which could suck if you had shit luck)
- Achievements is a mix of challenge for newbies and level 40+, which is ok..
- Half of the achievements aren't too hard, most people will be able to get the 50% chest. 

What I didn't like:

- Aaria seems underwhelming so far as an 'event hero', everyone has a starter guardian and acolyte, it would be nice to have something other than those classes, to be frank. Especially considering Leon can go 4* and Theia can't.
- Grind fest, I can't do several thing at the same time, wasting time and energy
- RNG promote 5* achievement. If RNG screws you over you might as well have no hope of achieving this
- I wish EXP rate was about 20% higher 
- Legendary difficulty seems a bit steep? But I don't have a great line up yet so there's that.

These are my thoughts so far.
