Still pretty exciting tho! :-)

[dmqp]

add primary stat to the jewel...
make bracelet work as arlorian ring (buff without cooldown)...
cracked to weak jewels as loot... really? What is feedback thread for?...
to make this event better give 1x random shard loot to all bosses loot table for duration of event, i know 1 with low chance would not bring us many shard, but it is at least something...

[caabarader]

Nice that the chest which give points is now bound, but their drop are still being 1 per same boss every hour or is the 1 hour cooldown only for the points given by boss?

The chest is not bound. Description has been fixed. You can trade the chest.

And it’s both loot and points per boss.

No - there are no visual effects associated with this jewel.

The design of the badge and banner are very Good the chests will give points like the previous one ?

[Shxrk]

So yeah. Somebody has to expend 2b on chests for t1 reward

[Rauigriu]

Heroic Sable aa looks good. Will it work on all bosses?

[Cinco]

Heroic Sable aa looks good. Will it work on all bosses?

Heroic Sable's AA will apply to targets that are not specifically immune to the various effects.

That said, many boss monsters are immune to stun and movement speed debuffs (though very few are resistant to armor reduction).


Incidentally, Sable is my current favorite 'cause I like the fur color... and I'm glad we have a Heroic variant with nice stats :-)

[Statsonly]

Deep marsh bosses count towards this?

[Dizzeel]

This looks very good, gj art team!

[Cinco]

Deep marsh bosses count towards this?

They certainly should.

All of them are set up as "boss" monsters so they should qualify for boss monster credit in this event (since they respect Boss damage, etc.).

[MaAaT]

Jewel looks interesting. It definitely will be useful on low level, however I'm not quite sure how well 2 damage holds up on higher level. Maybe if it scaled with level, up to 3 dmg or so, similar to how the boss breaker scaled up to 5 all stats.

You're right - endgame Legends have access to some crazy OP jewels for stats and damage that are much better options.

These are definitely useful for lower levels and (in some cases) for characters that need a bit of a damage boost at mid (~46+) levels.

Also, tbh we didn't want to completely override the Boss Breaker.

Looks good.
But why epic for new bracelet. It could be really useful if it's legendary or higher which have 2 awakening slots.

[Wizzzaq]

Nice one, making chests give points towards event score (LB). And then also make the chests tradeable. LB runs require no sort of skill anymore. All the rich players will just buy tons of chests and get easy top placements on the leaderboard.

You guys have really ruined all events, especially leaderboard events. Removing bane items, now we have elixirs which are crazy expensive, don't last long and give bonus score (15%) towards total event score (LB). There's no creativity anymore for this game, no love for the game just a bunch of people who only look at the best way to earn a lot of money from the game.

This game is only for the hardcore players, the money whales. Free to play players and brginning players can't play this game normally and keep up with the content.

There's no point giving feedback about anything. They don't listen to their players.

The chest drop is guaranteed if the boss is available to award points and not on cooldown.


But why epic for new bracelet. It could be really useful if it's legendary or higher which have 2 awakening slots.

Epic rarity means that you'll see a lot more of the bracelet than you would with Legendary since the other contents of the chest are Common and Rare currencies - but you make a fair point! It may be too late for this event but I'll see what can be done (no promises... worst case, we reevaluate rarity and make a new Legendary for next time Boss Hunt comes around).


Does jewel stack with Boss Breaker jewel?

Yes! It is a separate jewel (with restrictions on how it stacks with itself) that does stack with Boss Breaker.

I think he's referring to the T1 rewards. Those rewards aren't accessible to all players, only to players who spend billions on chests to get them. As we saw in last year's event, like 4 or 5 people spent more than 1–2 billion just to get those rewards.

I think he's talking about making these leaderboards more fair for everyone.

I can spend 3b for get those rewards but it isnt funny anymore

Why are we not getting the chest with pet evolution shards Nobody wants cracked jewels

[Cinco]

They didn't give me a reason for the bans also lol. You have to love this company, good transparency.

IIRC you got temp banned for your tirades during the last Temple event because you were insulting other players and being generally rude and combative in your responses to players who were trying to help you. Not sure about the other time.

It didn't seem necessary to spell it out for you - as you seemed insightful enough to realize that you were lashing out. The ban was also temporary because we value passionate feedback (even if it's laced with personal attacks toward the developers).

We'll endeavor to let you know the details next time you're banned from the forums.

Suggestion: Add Arlorian Boss Hunt Monsters as House Decorations!

Hey Devs,

With the return of the Arlorian Boss Hunt event, I’d love to see the boss images available as house decorations! These bosses look amazing, and it would be awesome to display them in our houses as paintings, banners, or even interactive trophies.

It would be a great way to commemorate the event and give players another way to personalize their spaces. Could you consider adding them as a reward or purchase option during the event?

Thanks for all your work, looking forward to the hunt!

First: I talk about the toxic behavior he has every time he complains, it's okay to complain, but he just spews senseless hate, without objectivity

Second: Shxrk, you know very well that each event is different, some events to make gold, another to make eggs, others as a temple only for those who prepared with equipment, this one is also different for those who invest in exchange for a unique title, not all events have to be to give gold, or to be pvp etc, each event is different, I would not like each event to be like Easter or like eggzavier, can you imagine? the game would be broken, it seems strange to me that you don't know that point Shxrk

[Cinco]

True - if the chests awarded no points at all then there would be no complaint about their trade status. Instead, the complaints would surround players who "no-life" the event so they can score when others are at work, school, or just living life here on Earth. It's always something with LB because LB's are exciting, and we expect players to feel strongly about the way they are set up.

I look at it this way: the vast majority of players aren't going to get anywhere near the LB top 25 (let alone Top 1) and the few that do are probably going to have to spend a significant amount of gold or a huge amount of time... or both. This vast majority has the option to make decent gold selling event chests to the few players committed to taking those top spots. It does put spending pressure on those who wish to stay in the Top 25 but that's not unusual.

[Statsonly]

That is the plan! :-)

I don’t think he’s being toxic, a lot of players (many who quit) disagreed with putting points for events in chest..it seems detrimental to events that were supposed to be a fun part of the game. It’s like the tier rewards, loot and token vendors..they are far less appealing than they were in past and a reason why so many don’t even bother with them. We are all entitled to give feedback or else sts wouldn’t have a forum thread for it. It’s sad but sometimes when we see changes we can’t help but express disappointment because this was a game we invested time in and enjoyed.

Best wishes,

I think this is a really cool idea. It is a ton of work so it's not something we can squeeze in for this year's Arlorian Boss Hunt - but I will put it in my notes to review for next year.

My instinct tells me that we'll need to come up with some sort of automation to turn all of the game's bosses into images you can display in your house. We make images for other events because we can easily make one or two boss monsters into images without affecting other aspects of development. Unfortunately, the effort to do EVERY boss in the game will be quite challenging... but it is a very cool idea! Thanks for the suggestion :-)

You hit the right note there ;)

In the past we had so much better tier rewards for events. Token vendors had better items for sale for TOKENS.

My problems with the current events and LB:
-LB rewards should be untradeable. During leaderboard events, the rewards should be for players who want to grind the event to get unique items that only a limited amount of players in the game will have. With this you'll also need bane items back and event elixirs should last 1 hour and should be 10 platinum. With also the removing of the %15 event score boost.

Most leaderboard events now are just simple pay to win. Just buy loads of event elixirs for event score boost, buy loads of energy kits. It's hard to beat the no life players in this game. But the normal players who do want to grind the event for the rewards should all have an equal chance. Which is not the case with the current events. You're simply forced to spend loads of gold or loads of platinum to make a chance for top 25/top 50.

You should be able to grind an event and fight for LB without spending gold or platinum. By just playing the event. Farming in KT4 for energy, playing the event for tokens. Event elixir should just be an elixir that gives you extra chance to get loot from mobs/bosses. You guys are locking content behind these event elixirs now which is ridiculous. Look at love event, gold merflin bosses are nowhere to be found and they never drop anything good (I did hundreds of runs).

With each event most of the playerbase is already 1 step behind because all the whales in the game have stacks of energy kits and event elixir already.

So my suggestions:
-Event elixir only for extra chance loot from mobs/bosses.
-Event elixir should last for 1 hour and cost 10 platinum.
-Bring back bane item. Cost 10 platinum. Removed after event.
-Remove energy kits from store and token vendor. Player shouldn't be able to buy them with platinum.
-LB rewards untradeable.
-Make event maps enjoyable. Get rid of all the annoying poison pools.
-Increase token drops from mobs/bosses and from quests.
-Remove crafting recipes from token vendor. Everything should be unlocked and ready to craft through craft station.
Look at love event, if you want to craft most of the vanity items it costs thousands of tokens. It's simply to much but also nobody wants it.

I understand that each event has a different purpose, and I’m not saying all events should be the same. The issue here is that this leaderboard isn’t really a competition. it’s just an auction where the highest bidder wins. Events should reward skill, strategy, or dedication, not just the size of someone’s wallet.

Saying that this event is ‘different’ doesn’t justify the fact that it completely excludes average players from even having a chance at the top rewards. There’s a difference between an event being challenging and an event being pay-to-win.

I’ve competed in several leaderboards, and I’ve won every single one, whether it was T5 or T10, just by spending hundreds of millions, even billions.

There’s no skill involved just spending. Like the recent Love LB, where all you had to do was buy letters and also use tons of elixirs since they only lasted 10 minutes.

If leaderboards are meant to be exciting and competitive, they should have a fairer system where more players feel like they have a shot at winning, not just the richest ones.

Only lb that i felt it was fair was Faction Wars.

[Shxrk]

It does put spending pressure on those who wish to stay in the Top 25 but that's not unusual.


I get that no system will make everyone happy, and that leaderboards will always have competition. But the issue isn’t just that people are spending a lot. it’s that there’s no real competition at all. When winning is purely about who has the most gold, the event stops being engaging for the majority of players.

You mention that most players won’t get anywhere near the Top 25, but isn’t that part of the problem? A leaderboard should feel like a challenge, not a paywall. If skill, strategy, or consistent effort played a bigger role, it would make the event more rewarding for a wider range of players, instead of just turning into a spending war.

I’m not saying chests should give no points, but there has to be a balance where both investment and gameplay matter. Otherwise, it stops being exciting and just becomes a bidding contest.

Thanks for your well-written and considered opinion. I do see things differently but I can totally understand why you see it as you do.

From my perspective, I have witnessed years and years of LB runners trading gold in enormous quantities to gain advantage. So this really isn't anything new.

I believe that the forums community gets irritated when a new event follows the patterns of other events (where it's kinda expected that top runners will be spending big sums of gold to score the top spots); as each new event seems like an opportunity to wipe the slate and do something entirely new that makes the whole affair feel strictly egalitarian.

If you want us to spend gold and time, then at least give us good rewards so we feel satisfied so that the investment is actually worth it

Yeah, sure. But please, focus on making better rewards so you motivate players to actually participate and invest time and effort into the event. That would make the system more appealing and satisfying for everyone.

Have a good day

I think he's referring to the T1 rewards. Those rewards aren't accessible to all players, only to players who spend billions on chests to get them. As we saw in last year's event, like 4 or 5 people spent more than 1–2 billion just to get those rewards.

I think he's talking about making these leaderboards more fair for everyone.

I can spend 3b for get those rewards but it isnt funny anymore
I agree, events should be for the players who try the hardest, not for those who spend the most, what's the point of spending time on an event, spending hours in the game for someone else to spend 5b in 1 day, t1 remains and goes to sleep the rest of the days, it doesn't make sense, that's not competition, In sts they should be able to handle this type of criticism not only pay attention to those who invest thousands of dollars but also to their loyal players, people who have been in the game for 10 years and still follow but ignore them

Maybe arcane bracelets for lvl 10 should be added? Would be cool

Why does five respond so aggressively to criticism? If they tell you it is so that you understand and reconsider that they are not doing something right, not to respond passively aggressively saying that if you don't want something don't buy it, it doesn't make sense that you, being the adm, respond to your players in that way, we only give you constructive criticism, no one is being rude, we are players who have been in the game for more than 10 years because it's a good game But lately they have focused on aggressively looking for money in a more friendly way for everyone such as micro payments, battle passes among other things and lb rewards many times 500m 1b is spent and barely if you recover half or what you invested it is not attractive to run events with simple designs

I want to be very clear: nobody is expecting you to spend your hard-earned gold on things that you do not like. This should be a helpful hint for players who wish to persuade us (me, in this case) to make changes. Don't assert that you're going to be wasting gold as a means of persuasion. I'm not being passive aggressive, I'm just sharing fact.

You will get robotic responses from other developers at other companies but from me - a founder of Spacetime and the designer of Arcane Legends - you get a human. I don't ever wish to offend. In some cases, I do hope to entertain and delight. I realize that sometimes this might come off as less-than-ideal... but I'm a person too. I am here with you and I respect your feedback and your opinions.

That said, I do often disagree with these opinions. Nevertheless, your input is always read, and always considered. If it doesn't fit into our plans we go a different direction. If we fail, we are the ones that suffer (business-wise and by f2p player population) so we are constantly motivated to do the best thing for our game(s).

You have my personal thanks for your feedback. It is often critical but it is always well thought-out, hecathe.

Cinco is right tho, people running lb with the intention of selling the rewards, it is not the developers' fault, last year the top 1 of boss hunt wasted 3B for it and yet no one was even offering, It would be admirable to sell a title for more than 1B (which I doubt happened). Lb players have to decide if it's worth their time and the expense they're going to have with lb, not the developers.

Huge -1 , there’s already lvl 1’s out that work perfectly for all zones until lvl 20 , new lvl 10 bracelets will just over saturate twink PvP with unnecessary gears

I really appreciate you coming on here and giving input/feed back. I may or may not like what the response is but the manner its.delivered and interaction is greatly appreciated. When people (and me) don't hear from you (sts) it feels like we are being ignored. I know people at sts read the forum and 80% of the things here are rehashed through out the years. Youre responses make sts feel much more human and friendly. Regardless of wether or not we agree or like the answer it's appreciated. At least by me.

exactly, idk why shxrk say every lb its different and then cry because this one its not same as the past one,
sometimes I skip some lbs because I know (for that moment) I cannot win, and I prepare later to participate in that

still free2play can make gold with this event, people can do top 25, etc, so, sometimes I dont understand people complains...

Dude, I’m not crying. In fact, this event offers decent rewards. I’m just saying that the leaderboards don’t give other players a chance, only those who invest, that’s it. This isn’t the only event that requires a lot of investment, literally most events are about investing.

[asommers]

Moving discussion to feedback thread (link (https://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?768662)) now that the event is live.
