Also, it only costs 5 gems to remove grey runes whilst it costs 10 to remove greens, I presume this increases even higher with rarer runes.
Thanks for this - I was going to post a question asking if it was worthwhile equipping a green damage rune or to wait and farm until I could combine it for a blue... BUT - if I can just overwrite the green rune without using gems once I have a blue rune then it's a no brainer.... :-)
cost 10 gem to remove existing rune. offering only get epic rune. i've seem someone with legendary rune with 5.2 damage increase not sure how to get.
As for the best damage combination, that completely matters on what you are gearing up to fight. Currently, from a pure usefulness perspective, maxing out lightning is the best way to go if you are in end game, because of fire tower and lhb. This will change when the new 4th kingdom stages start coming out next week, and will become much more interesting when PvP launches in the coming months.
4th Kingdom is coming next week. Will we have to pay gems to play that kingdom?
Answer: Yes! 100 gems each time you play a level! **** you players!
PvP is coming soon?!
Answer: Nope! I'm just talking out of my *** again! The developers are much too lazy to add something that will make the players happy!
Go ahead and ban me Moloch. I'm tired of posting my thoughts on forums anyway. It will only show that you will say anything to lie to players on forums to trick us into playing. We have learned to not expect anything from your company. We know that you will only disappoint us.
Can I ask you about some skill of warrior and monk that been add element. (Not rune)
Is it
1. Change the whole damage to that element, and can all be reduce by resist rune?
or
2. Still has the same original prepatch damage and add in extra element damage, and only extra damage can be reduce by resist rune?
that is all assuming the player base still exists then. I have been playing at least 12 hours a day for the last three weeks and I have never seen town chat so dead. It seems to me that people are quitting in droves. Have you guys considered rolling back the patch? At this point I think it would make people much happier to wait for a less buggy etc patch.
No. Most players just happier talking in thier own guild. that why town chat seem dead
It's been changed to a fraction of the damage (I'll check the figures later when I can get them), relatively small part. The damage is still primarily physical though. Only the elemental part checks against resists.
Due to mostly technical reasons, there will be no rollback. We are just working to release the additional content that makes the runes more worthwhile, gives more for players to do, and fix any bugs that have arisen.
You have to realize as well that this patch also made it impossible for all the hackers to play the game. And most of the immature kids who all chatted up the in town chat with useless talk, were hackers. That's why they chatted so much, because the only time they actually had to play the game was for vp for tournaments. Personally I love the quietness! :-) and it makes it much better for all the new people who want to actually have questions answered w/o your mom, or gay jokes blasted at them.
SIGN 100% correct!!! The guilds on our server are perishing. Example: TOP-Guild Adreanlin >20 of their best players quit the game due to all those gem-dominated updates in the past incl. this one! You are killing a great game, GLU.
R.I.P.
Guild: -=WOLFPACK=-
(ANDROID)
Yes. They are the 3 rune types. They come in offense and defence.
What a ripoff!
Does it really mean that to get blues from combinations we need to use gems?
I did notice that once, but I only glimpsed it, I was waiting till I saw it again to confirm. I think it should take 3 and it should be either guaranteed or a higher chance of success, especially for high level characters 45+.
