I've taken down 13 bosses. All 13 would have escaped in 15 minutes....does the time before he escapes get longer?

[Mrs Cash]

I love how they roll out a new EB run and give no updates of changes since the last one. Gree needs to brush up on their communication skills.

[Pablo Benassi]

No regeneration time.... LOL

If you need to regen for bosses under level 25 you know your stats are too low.

That's true. I liked it when they had 'divisions' for EB. One for combat level 1-50, one for level 51-150, etc., but people disliked that aswell because there was always someone with more success than others. Kinda sucks if you're new and you can't even take level 1 yes.

Think gree gave up on new blood. Then freeloaders here whine about tiers etc. It's a closed game essentially

[Pablo Benassi]

Any information on boss health?

[Vile Lynn]

Bolt, please? Can you get us some info on this EB?

...lots of threads asking about it.

[Bala82]

nope they don't care look like we stuck with 15 minute boss event for all bosses :(

[cooch]

Bolt: gree has an issue with EB

1. Some accounts hitting same lvl boss have different times left in health. Some have 15 mins while others show for same boss 35 minutes. No rhyme or reason. We thought it was a level dependant feature punishing higher levels

2. Second issue is that the prize tier stays the same for some players after boss 28 while it advances for others. Same thought was level dependant to punish higher levels but we are seeing it with lvl 120s as well as 200s

3. We've compared this apparent glitch with other syns and confirm they have members in their syns with same issue

4. Can you ask developers/engineers is this a mistake and can they correct?

5. No, delete and reinstall doesn't change the issues

I'm on lvl 38 (after an 18 hour hiatus) and the loot drops haven't changed. Be curious to know wheter or not they should be changing - getting better.

[Jeronimo]

My loot changed at level 28. Also, timer stayed at 15 minutes for a long time, but I have over 60 minutes now at boss 38.

[Hoeba]

I got in a better loottier after boss 35 aprox, now im at boss 48 and it went back to the first loottier?

Let me look into this, I was not aware of any changes to this EB and by the way you describe it it definitely sounds like a bug. Can you private message me the invite ID of a player that is affected? (or have them message me).

[LeatherKicks]

Same. One of my accounts is on level 41, 1st level tier.
Another on 35, 2nd level tier.

Just noticed.

[Bolt]

If you can send us a support ticket explaining the issues you found it will help us compile that information faster so that we can investigate.

[fan139]

Could you explain bolt what this eb is meant to be then we maybe able to enlighten you on what the issue are, if we dont know what we are ment to have we dont know whats wrong if you sorta get me

Does anyone see differences in the amount of time remaining for the same boss? Other verifiable differences in prizes for example? that will help us investigate.

Boss 31 15min again and indeed no reset on health. like last eb the price tear also drops again after boss 30

[sux2lose]

There are definitely changes to this EB. There are 150 bosses still, but they don't reset every 15 like last time. It continues to escalate in difficulty. Escape time and player damage seems to be variable. I really wish they kept you better informed about changes to gameplay so you can in turn inform us. This is not rocket science.

Well player damage varies based on your raw stats and mafia attack mods. Additionally at boss 46 the time doesn't reset back to 15 min like on bosses 16 and 31. The time on boss 46 is 1 hour and 38 min

This was my point we may know some bugs but if we dont know what to expect how can we report when there are issues.....

[Jcw9811]

Just killed boss 46 and got a common 40k stat item. This should not be happening. How can your programmers mess up a part of an event that has been running for 2 years now and has never had this issue before. I don't understand, I feel like my college buddies can code better than your programmers, FYI they are still in college.

[Jcw9811]

And it's past 5pm PST looks like we get to wait a whole 15 hours now until we get anything else from a mod. Yippee

I may be getting the nomenclature wrong. By player damage I mean how much damage the player takes. Used to be always 25% until last EB.

That is a very bad loot compare to the real money we need to invest to kill the boss.

[kido kido]

when I hit the boss the amount of my health that will be utilize is different each time. Some time I use %25 of my health with one hit sometime less than that. It does not follow a pattern as some time from one Lvl to next Lvl it increases and some time it decreases the amount that is utilized .
I noticed the pattern of loots follows the previous EB strength , so every 15 Lvl it changes , goes up and down .

...what is expeted of this type of event.

I think this is your issue: you expected one thing and got another.
Keep in mind that GREE is always trying to "mix things up" for "awesome" and "more exciting" events.

One should never expect anything from GREE. Or, at least have your expectations so low that simply being able to log in makes you happy enough to keep tapping.

[Dipstik]

Low expectations... that's my secret. I get to log in and tap a few things throughout the day. I get some prizes, but I don't really look at the numbers because they don't mean much. I try to finish events. Yay!

Boss 31 15min again and indeed no reset on health. like last eb the price tear also drops again after boss 30

My boss also reset to 15min at 31 & 32, but went up to 46min at lvl 33. Strange logic.

The boss health dropped a lot at level 31 and then started going back up.

Overall this EB is a lot harder than previous. Last one got easier every 15 bosses, thus giving us a break. This one keeps growing and growing. Last time i finished legendary with some gold, this time I'll be lucky to get to 150.

What does it mean to beat a boss "without dying"? Meaning without letting your health reach zero? So you retreat with a bit of health left, refill, and go back?

Blatantly wrong....just kill the boss before timer runs out. I used all my hits, then it tells me I have to wait 24mins before I can hit again (26mins to make it count twice)
I think you need a few more henchmen. I'm at 102
Boris cannot escape and I can die (run out of hits ) quite a few times. and the goal is complete

check the sig

I can confirm based on the fact that I do this all time is let the boss escape and hit him twice every 26 minutes and get the goals done.

Without dying gives reference to your health, not just the usual time constraints. I suppose I'm not surprised by the poor wording Gree used for those goals. I read it the same way Dipstick did, and leave some health, but it sounds like either method works.

Happy gaming mate.

In this official post about the PREVIOUS EB we read:

"Boss damage ranges from 5% to 25% (how much the boss hits you for). As bosses get stronger and stronger the damage range will get smaller until it caps back to 25% of your health."

Since I see different numbers being subtracted from my health with every hit (between 4 and 25), I think it is random calculated every time. But as stated in the post above, will move to 25 near L150. If the above is still valid for this EB.

You can still fight him every 26 minutes, but rather than hitting twice every 26 minutes u can only hit once. Your players health bar can not drop to zero( I haven't made it here, nor will I, just going off of what I've seen here)

The EB syn goals seem really challenging for mostly-free syndicates, as it should be.
My syn ranks T250/400, is mostly-free, and we used to be able to get 6-7 days, but we only got thru Day4 this time. We were close on Day5... just poor planning and malaise for the app, I guess. I don't think any member of my syn is going for EB Indy anyway.

***Please, do not think I'm complaining about the EB being too hard. I'm not. It is fine.

Is T100 going for all 10 days?

We typically rank around 200 in battles, mostly free players, and finished 5 days worth of EB goals. I'm also not complaining, I preferred the way the last EB event was structured (hood slam), but still like this single tier structure over the old multi-tier business.

We finish around top 350 and got to 3 goal finishes this time,,,,would be 4 but the game crasht down to often. Last cyle i got to boss 118 this time i wont be making 90.
