NEW Hardcore Boss Event!

[Assault and Flattery]

We have a hot new event for you! Epic Boss has been upgraded to Hardcore Boss! This is not a replacement of Epic Boss, but rather a variation with additional competitive challenges.

Event Start Time
June 27 03:00PM PDT to July 1 02:00PM PDT

Summoning Hardcore Boss
When the event is active, the Hardcore boss can be triggered by basic gameplay actions like PvP and PvE. Additionally, these will appear more frequently than a traditional Epic Boss.

Daily Competition
Earn as many Damage Points as you can by defeating Hardcore Bosses. The player who has the most points at the end of each day’s competition wins. Members of each group will be automatically shuffled every day, and your Damage Points will reset everyday.
Note: Rankings on daily competition leaderboard will be refreshed at certain intervals.

Damage Points
Damage Points can be earned only by defeating a Hardcore Boss. The more damage you do, the more points you receive. If you could not defeat a Hardcore Boss, Damage Points will not be added even if you started a battle.

Daily Points
Daily Points can be earned by winning a daily competition. Points are distributed depending on each rank.
Rank 1: 10 Points
Rank 2: 5 Points
Rank 3: 3 Points
Rank 4: 1 Point
Rank 5 and below: 0 Points

What results are assessed during the assessing results period?
After each day’s competition ends, there will be 1 hour of time where results are assessed. You can still battle and defeat a Hardcore Boss, but Damage Points will not be added during this time. A new group will be formed and the next daily competition starts after the result is assessed.

What rewards can I earn?
There are 3 reward structures for this event.
Daily Points Reward:
These rewards can be received according to the amount of accumulated Daily Points. You can get all the rewards that are located below your earned points.
Daily Rank Reward:
This is a reward that can be earned by winning a daily competition.
Milestone Reward:
This is a reward according to your defeated count of Hardcore Bosses. It works the same as regular goals. The more bosses you defeat, the more rewards you receive.

What is VITALITY?
VITALITY is needed to attack a Hardcore Boss. It decreases when you get attacked by the Hardcore Boss. VITALITY will replenish every 60 seconds, or you can fully recover immediately using gems for a SOUL FLASK.

[Debonair]

So essentially health regen has been removed - good thing players have spent years and years building that boost to have it removed - unless I am wrong. Please advise

[Jomama1]

You have released many very expensive health regens over the last few months. Big gemmers have spent tons. If health is removed as the eb resource I can assure you that will be the straw that broke the camels back for msny of your top players. Please tell us what is going on here.

[Laura TCK]

Health regen will still be needed for wars?

[Laura TCK]

Of course being in UK USA players have the biggest advantage at the start as early normal

[B1RD]

Of course being in UK USA players have the biggest advantage at the start as early normal

Of course, because no one in the USA ever sleeps...

[Shadows]

Of course, because no one in the USA ever sleeps...

"Of course being in UK USA players have the biggest advantage at the start as early normal"

She has a point here, B!RD, unless you believe we here in the states tend to sleep at 3:00 PST... work, yes, but sleep, no... hey, wait a minute!! LOL

[Laura TCK]

Yes Bird at the start as I said, I will have to play catch up if possible at some point the next day unless I'm working 10hrs then the 1st day is over to catch up

[Thorbin]

Are players going to be matched randomly aka a big dog with a bunch of us smaller players to assure they win or will match ups be based on similar skill levels?

[Jomama1]

Yes - and now you want to sell us more health regen and have us compete for it in war - really hope this is a misunderstanding otherwise looks very dirty.

[truthteller]

Yes - and now you want to sell us more health regen and have us compete for it in war - really hope this is a misunderstanding otherwise looks very dirty.

Actually they started the HCB in MW a few months ago (big fiasco) and they have not and probably will not ever sell regen boost for this event

the whole goal of the event is to make players spend as much gems as possible trying to get top 1 rank every day

in MW basically only the addicts (top 10) do so
most players ignor to an extend the event and do kills for guild goals
others try to get some points during the last 2 days of the event

but mostly gem free.....

unfortunatly the adicts keep on spending and does not seem gree will take it away from MW, thus they are trying the same in KA and it will probably increase their revenues as everyone (specially the big gemmers) will complain, yet will spend all they can to be "top" in the event

[Zepson]

So, A&F, you've sold everyone health regen over the last few months and now it's useless in the new boss event, how very deceitful....... Tell you what? Let's change the name to Vitality and sell it to those idiots again .....

Yes, that's the only reason why Gree introduces this event, it's a big pocket filler in Modern War so it didn't take them long to put it up here.
Believe me, winning all 4 days will cost a lot, don't do it !

[Rocket93]

Being in the UK myself there is an advantage (for me) to this time zone for this event.

As the event runs each day for 23 hours I'm at home and can monitor the rankings in the last few hours so I can make a push if I want to/need to while east coast US is having dinner and Australia is either still asleep or just waking up.

Personally I'd rather be online at the end of the event instead of the start. I've shot past others in MW that weren't online when the day ends.

[Assault and Flattery]

Just to be clear - we will still be running Epic Boss events, this is not a replacement. Health Regen bonuses still work in all the same places - Epic Boss, Raid Boss, and Conquest of Kings.

[Jnsolberg]

Lol, I was just going to ask about this. That's for that answer!

[truthteller]

A&F could you please clarify the following

In MW, everyone needs to save cash (gold in KA) in order to buy the ONLY units that count toward max points per hit in the HCB

is the HCB damage gona be based on units or equipment?

I am assuming on destructible units like in MW in which case
the units have "x"% casualty rate

also please make sure that if we will only use 60 units like in MW, we are allow to buy 100 or even better 150 of them, so we do some kills before having to buy more units

to all players better start saving lots of gold

Hey truthteller,

KA's HCB will not be using destructible units. Damage will be hero equipment based.

[truthteller]

Hey truthteller,

KA's HCB will not be using destructible units. Damage will be hero equipment based.

thanks, but

1- do we have to buy HCB specific event equipment like in MW and is the equipment destructible?

2- if we are to use our own current equipment (which I doubt) then event will start at an advantage for the gem spenders

please give us a little more information on how the point system will be (in the sense of what equipment will be using [event specific or our own], and how is the matching going to be)

thanks

[Jomama1]

I got an additional eb bonus since last epic boss event but my free hit went down from over 18K to about 13K. Why is this???

Did you turn the bonuses off?

[Jomama1]

Just ran out of vitaility and the timer is clearly not based on my regen. I regen health in 14 minutes and it wants nearly 6 minutes before I can hit again (should be less than 4 minutes). So this thing about health still applying appears to be a lie or you have another error.

So lets see - I worked my regen down and my attack up and you have reduced both. What is up????? Why should we buy expensive regen and equipment and then have you reduce it???

[Tachyon]

The Daily Competition Rewards is 10-5-3-1 points and units. The units are:

Rank 1 - Hardcore Tectonic Dragon
Rank 2 - Hardcore Unbound Titan
Rank 3 - Hardcore Gyrocopter
Rank 4 - Hardcore Dagon Sorcerer

What stats do these units have? Are there boosts? Always nice to know what you are fighting for...

[Jomama1]

Next boss I ran out of health on wanted 20 minutes to hit again. Please explain what is happening here. How does single hit wait go from 6 minutes to 20 minutes when I regen a full bar in 14 minutes, I spent lots of real cash getting these stats. Need a fix quickly.

This was your quote: "Just to be clear - we will still be running Epic Boss events, this is not a replacement. Health Regen bonuses still work in all the same places - Epic Boss, Raid Boss, and Conquest of Kings. "

[Metsrock9931]

Is the health at the same levels as epic boss?

What the heck?New event that deals with health that we all spent tons of money to achieve and get screwed over. 4 years of playing this game only to start from scratch is asinine. Top gem tier should get what they have paid for and little gem era should get what they have paid for, it is called fair, like the event so far, don't like to continue getting screwed.

[Jnsolberg]

Next boss I ran out of health on wanted 20 minutes to hit again.






Shouldn't we have full vitality in 60 seconds?

[Jnsolberg]

Shouldn't we have full vitality in 60 seconds?

Ok, I just found out the Gree is lying. The tutorial, this post and the screen shot from the HB icon all say vitality replenishes in 60 seconds, but it's taking 60 minutes.

IPassButter, what's going on here? Is the 60 seconds wrong, or is the 60 minutes wrong?

I just can't understand that your programmers don't know the difference between 60 seconds and 60 minutes.

[Jnsolberg]

[QUOTE=Assault and Flattery;1560032]

What is VITALITY?
[COLOR=#000000]VITALITY is needed to attack a Hardcore Boss. It decreases when you get attacked by the Hardcore Boss. VITALITY will replenish every 60 seconds, or you can fully recover immediately using gems for a SOUL FLASK.


This clearly says 60 seconds, not 60 minutes!

[Lord Vyper]

So my damage is equipment based - but why is my epic boss attack bonus not working? Should be added to the damage :(

[Ryosaeba]

I think They meant to say "Vitality will replenish [a little bit] in 60 seconds."

Mine was 1/4 full and it says it will be full in ~1 hr 11 minutes.

[Lord Vyper]

a complete bar needs 100min, so we are back in the stoneage of health-regen

but it is a bad joke that also our Epic-Boss bonusses don't work

would be great to get an answer here...

[Jnsolberg]

I think They meant to say "Vitality will replenish [a little bit] in 60 seconds."

Mine was 1/4 full and it says it will be full in ~1 hr 11 minutes.

Thanks, maybe you get 1 vitality every 60 seconds. A clarification would be nice. I have heard that you go from empty to full in 60 minutes. But you say it takes longer, perhaps 100 minutes until full?

[Jnsolberg]

The Daily Competition Rewards is 10-5-3-1 points and units. The units are:

Rank 1 - Hardcore Tectonic Dragon
Rank 2 - Hardcore Unbound Titan

I can't find stats / boosts anywhere on these "rewards"

[Laura TCK]

Ok in short, your EB bonus don't work as this is a different event so Gree says so everyone starts on the same playing field regen wise, we know rewards will soon say vitality regen, so you want to gem then do, if you don't then don't, buy equipment your a gemmer so you prob have the best already and while I'm a free player I'm just playing catch up, I quite like this thing but understand gemmers frustration, but think like Gree and not a player when a new event is up so yes they changed it but it's ok, I expect there run old style EB on and increase is damage again then your have your reagen bonus back lol

[Jomama1]

We spent a ton of real money to not start on the same playing field. A different event should have much less overlap with EB. Why nother with legendary? And EB really should not raise again.

[E-I]

If I wanted to play MW events, I'd download MW. Please stop recycling their most unpopular ideas and putting them into this game.

[Elendar]

A&F, some of the prizes have bonuses, but stats are not high enough to make my army. Does the bonus still count if the unit does not make it into my army?

[Jnsolberg]

A&F, some of the prizes have bonuses, but stats are not high enough to make my army. Does the bonus still count if the unit does not make it into my army?

Yes, the bonus works even on very old units that no longer make your army!

[Elendar]

Thanks, I did not know that. Yay! ����

[Assault and Flattery]

Daily Rewards (bonuses are stackable):

Rank 1, 10 Daily Points - Hardcore Tectonic Dragon 37531643 atk / 47767546 def 1% Alliance Attack
Rank 2, 5 Daily Points - Hardcore Unbound Titan 33152952 atk / 29399787 def 3% Infantry Attack
Rank 3, 3 Daily Points Hardcore Gyrocopter 18197160 atk / 27295741 def 2% Machine Defense
Rank 4, 1 Daily Point Hardcore Dagon Sorcerer 19192318 atk / 16349011 def 2% Fight Honor Payout
Rank 5, 0 Daily Points Hardcore Dragon Horde 12794878 atk / 15638185 def 1% Raid Gold Payout


Vitality:
1 Vitality Point is replenished every 60 seconds. It requires 25 per attack, so 100 minutes for a full bar.

Bonuses:
Epic Boss bonuses still apply to Epic Boss. Health Regen bonuses still apply to EB, RB, and CoK. However, as this is a new event, those bonuses do not apply to Hardcore Boss

Damage:
Damage is solely based on hero equipment. The better your hero equipment, the more damage you will do. Doing extra damage will net you extra points. Force Attack gives you more points than a Quick Attack, and Mega Attack gives you more points than a Force Attack.

[Hockeydoc]

Wanted to point out that some of the Rewards cannot achieved. For example, there is no way to get 34 or 37 points for the entire Ultimate boss event. If you win three days, you can get 30, 31, 33, or 35 points depending on how you do on the fourth day. But, if you do get 31 or 33 points, you do not get a unit since none are posted for those point values. Please adjust the point values on the posted rewards to reflect correct math.

Same reason wanted to post here. Gree, this is primary school math. Lol!

[Tachyon]

What happens if two players tie? Is tied at 0 damage treated the same as a tie with non-zero damage?

[IPassButter]

Players who reach a point tier win the prize for that tier and all prizes from tiers below that tier. For example if you win first place in your group all 4 days you will receive prizes for all tiers 40 points and below. Prizes are awarded after the last day.

There is no way my health regen is working - right now my timer says I will be full in 22 min I am 1/4 down ,- however my entire regen is 16 min - not working

[Jnsolberg]

Health Regen does not work with HB, it will still work on EB, RB and war.

HB uses Vitality, not health. Look for Vitality Regen boost units soon, lol

That is just wrong - it works in MW
I guess it evens things out , but frankly we've earned our health bonuses , and they should apply

[truthteller]

I have to tell the truth, and need to correct you

in MW the HB events uses a different type of regen too (also a blue bar) and NO HEALTH regen bonus works toward that

so MW and KA are on the same level regarding health regen bonuses not working on both games for HB

Hmm - thanks I stand corrected - it always seemed my health regen in MW was normal - it's only 10% in CC so cranky I never bothered to check -

[plavine]

Not using the health regen isn't fair and I'll explain why:
The way the epic boss is now,anyone could. Have purchased the highest crafting items possible,maxing out their attack .
However, only players that were able to achieve the bonuses , earned them. This varies from player to player as guilds have changed members ect...
Nothing in this game (and many others like it ) is even. If it was there would be no gems .
I like this boss event it requires strategy on how many bosses you should hit each day . But having everyone's health regen the same isn't fair. If every one is the same there would be no winners. Then what is point in playing

[sdunn00]

The reward point structure seems messed up to me....there is no possible combination of awarded points to get the unit that requires 37 points....unless it was meant to issue only to the individuals getting a total of 40 points....this makes no sense to me since the reward structure should at least be based on combination totals that are possible.

Remember, this is GREE math, so it makes sense only to them and "working as intended" lol

[Laura TCK]

I disagree I like the fact we all have the same regen meaning you actually have to think should I push for 1st stick in 2nd then maybe better tomorrow so much more interesting then tap tap tap, and I hope Gree keep regen the same for everyone. You say you have earnt regen and yes you have paid for it in the way of gems etc etc, gem these bosses if you wish it will bring the same result as paying 100's of gems to get a fast regen like you prob have in EB.

Thanks for the new event Gree now don't change it just leave it alone don't start increasing damage etc etc it does offer us poorer players some 1st places

[Thorbin]

I agree with Laura. The event is perfect just like it is. Don't ruin it by letting players earn vitality boosts. The strategy involved has made this event exciting. The when do I make a move...do I risk pushing for another position or wait till the next round actually is enjoyable. No mindless tap tap tap rushing to finish. I have enjoyed the event immensely. PLEASE LEAVE IT ALONE.

[plavine]

The sudden boss health increase between 66-67 wasn't so keen either .
I like this boss - it works in MW well , however I'm not a big spender and I earned my health regen. But this is only the first one , things can change

[Laura TCK]

Sadly id Gree does start increasing the damage needed and start giving vitality rewards it will be the same old players winning so I will wake in the morning see my position of being 3-4m behind then I just won't bother so again GREE leave it alone

[Thorbin]

No offense intended to any person posting and/or reading these forums. I understand you have paid/earned the rights to massive health regens. Your powerful regen will still serve you strongly in CoK, epic boss, and raid boss. You will get to compete for and earn more powerful prizes than I will ever get the chance to win. This event is new and actually fun as it is now. Sure I was dismayed when I got matched in the second round with 2 big hitters and they nearly quadrupled my point total but in the two rounds I was able to compete I was able to have some fun and actually tasted victory once. That is something us little guys don't normally get to experience. You big hitters can still stomp my butt with your more powerful gear and willingness to spend gems. Don't begrudge us little guys for breathing the same air as you when we place higher than 4th. Celebrate an event where we all can experience success at some level.

I wouldn't call me a big hitter - I'm a light gemmer who was in a good guild way back. I also have a lower (mostly gem free account ) . This event is pretty even , as anyone can get to 50-60 bosses on one hit. But none of these games are ever fair . Just ask anyone who started playing before guilds when all we did was the area quests and we leveled up like crazy. Also ask any 250 who gets bad points in battle . So I don't think I'm being unreasonable to want to apply what I've earned . Since when the new bonuses do come out , they will probably only be achievable to the top 500 players /gemmers of which I am not .

This cannot be left alone. 100 minutes is too long to regen. You need to add a vitality boost to the guilds, at least. However you'll probably just give tiny boosts to top 5 instead (-2% for top 5 in next war! yay lets throw a few mountains to get that!). Or may let me craft potions instead of orb from all that awesome crafting material I never used because of its awesome awfulness.

[Laura TCK]

100 mins for regen is fine we know the time same for all, it's just about planning when how etc etc, were all so use to regen being much quicker it's just seems a long time lol. Gree just leave the regen alone I agree with Thorbin yes us little peeps can have a good time on this event, I only have the new crafted equipment (common only) and free player but managed 1st, 2nd, 2nd and a 3rd with careful planning and stragey so great fun and as said leave alone

100 minutes is not fine. Gemmers will pay regardless of what regen so the idea that "all" will have the same time is nonsense... and free players (like me) have better things to do than wait 100 minutes. In any cas, there is no reason why "all" should not be able to purchase vitality bonuses through the guild's: why have guild bonuses at all?

[Jomama1]

or just change vitality back to health that we already paid for. Very large sums of money.

[War player]

It's another event that if folks want an advantage, they will have to spend money. Duh.

You know, there is an option to not spend any money. Another duh.

[sdunn00]

I know it was stated in this thread that regular EB wasn't going away but the EB bonus given over the past couple of cycles was missing this cycles 5/5 individual raid boss....seems a bit of a coincidence that it would be gone right after Hardcore Boss made its debut....hmmm.....
