Massive Boss Increase

[Blizzard782]

For the previous boss, i was able to hit him for 100 gold per hit on the first boss, 200 gold per hit on the second, 300 for the third and so on. However, for this boss, i am only able to hit the lvl 6 boss for 1400 gold which would have been 600 gold only for the previous boss. I didn't lvl up between these two boss events, only increased my stats. Is there any reason for this increase in cost? And the boss' health has also seemed to increase drastically compared to the previous one

Blizzard,
Sorry, I didn't keep up with the amount of the gold hits between boss events. Gree has tweaked the events from the past - such as changing the first stair step reward from 15 to 20, so it is possible they changed the amount of the gold hit. I think Hello Kitty does keep track of her gold hits. You can send her a PM and ask her. Curious, I know that you said you didn't level up, but what level are you?

[Talkazar]

What level are you? Are your rewards similar to last time?

It reads like they have fiddled with the brackets.

[Blizzard782]

I am lvl 102, around 40k attack, non boosted

[Blizzard782]

I have 400 allies as well

[Talkazar]

Well what you've described is consistent with the 100+ bracket, so I guess you got lucky last time. Were you level 102 at the start of the previous event (ie you didn't level up during it?).

[Blizzard782]

Yes i didn't level up at all

[PorkChopExpress]

Yeah, they've made this Boss MUCH harder... I'm LVL 98 w A/D 84k/75k (free player) and I'll be able to just get by level 12 on this Boss... Last event I got to 17 with lesser stats...

[Chups]

I KNEW IT!! And I thought it was because I leveled up +1 (from 76 to 77) reason why it's harder. It's because THEY MADE IT HARDER! I'm really starting not to like this game. Instead of making us happy....they are making us frustrated.

I can kill up to boss 21 not using any gems last boss........now I can only go up to level 12. Then they made the prize at level 20 instead of level 15. Hayayay.

[Funkey monkey]

I wonder if they only made certain brackets harder. My bracket is exactly the same so far (level 32,36,37). I just did a calculation for level 67 for another person and it appears to be the same as previous events also. Anyone for certain know where the brackets start and end.

[spectra]

bosses are harder
onle level once and now at 100k per hit I cannot pass #11 without Gems
last. oss I made it to 13 and used gems to get to 15 and was happy, now they actually made it harder no matter what lame escuse they come up with saying the event is working as it was intendedd to be, Yeah!!! it is intended to milk gems out of player and nothing else

[Chups]

I have ignored the box events coz it's an auction and am always looking forward to the boss events. Now it looks like I have to ignore this too. Pretty soon I might ignore the whole game.

[Lift Ticket]

At lvl 49, the bosses are relatively the same as last event. I finished off last event boss at 16, currently on 14 this go around and should be able to take him down and the next one. Getting to 20 will definitely be a challenge but not looking realistic as I'm playing KA as a free player. Stats for me are 17k attack with 125 allies.

[marebear]

Mine was harder. Last time I made it past 15. This time I can't get past 11 without gems and I added 50 plus allies and bought weapons and units. They probably just want you to spend gems.

[echus14]

@Marebear - completely agree. I think its a shame, because the first level prize at boss 15 (now 20) will probably end up going the way of the Top 250 prize for the box events. Basically, no one except gem buyers and a handful of very powerful free players in a "sweet" zone will attempt it. Everyone else will just treat this like a lucky draw for as many rounds as they can before they max out on 13 gold hits. Its a shame really, because I really thought that GREE was finally realising that making the game popular for the mass market also reaps rewards. Indeed, if anything, I would have kept the first bigger prize at Boss 15 and LOWERED the second bigger prize to Boss 25 (currently Boss 30) to make it more readily available to light gem buyers, and that may have encouraged overall gem purchases. Not revealing the stats of the bigger prizes in advance also seems rather counter-productive - players can't make an informed decision and are likely to just stop at the first big prize.

[dudeman]

My boss is easier this time... I could only kill that Hayden dude like 16 times. I already beat Ettin King 15 easily and I know it starts to get much harder from here but I think I can get to 20 if I time it right.

Free player, level 48, 19k attack (boss hits do 18.8k damage).

[Tate]

So far i have made it to first boss 17, middle option 10,622, second 15 at 11,790, last boss 13 at 13,220 and so far i'm at 12 but i have leveled up 5 levels since the first boss, and doubled my attack stat, currently hitting @ 21,570 and i will only make it to 13 without gems. These events are directly aimed at the gold players and are completely unattainable by any free players. Gree is after one thing only and that is to make as much money as they can before they get shut down, or lose the heavy spenders, which i am certain, isn't too far away.

ps: hey Mare and Spectra! how's it goin?

[dudeman]

I agree that Gree doesn't care about much else besides revenue, but I have seen recently that free players aren't always left out. Ok, yes they/we usually are, but there is the odd time they throw the dog a bone. Boss events at least give you a chance at some kind of decent equipment/units, even without spending any $ on gold/gems.

For free, I won the top 250 prize at rank 252 in the last KA leaderboard event, I stand a good chance at beating the 20th Ettin King (lower level, I know it's easier than for HL bosses), I already have several rare items from epic bosses, and I won the income event prize (Arcane Defender?)... Not too bad for free.

CC is a different story, but for the way I've been playing KA since the start of April (when it was released in Canada), it's consistently seemed to have a pretty good balance between what you can get/earn for free and what you can get/buy with real $. Based on my experience with CC, that changes when you reach the HL so I'm just taking it slow with KA. Faster than I want because of all the events, but whatever. Greedzio's intention is to get everyone to the max level as quickly as possible because the(ir) game(s) are designed so players at the highest level get sucked into spending more and more. It is what it is, so I'm just going to play until it becomes greetarded and not make the mistake I made with CC and spend any real $.

This Ettinguy is much easier for me than the previous boss as well. I ran into a brick wall already at boss level 9 or something like that. Ettin I have killed up to level 8 with only the free option. I leveled up once and gained just marginal in attack during this time. Go figure.

I am also at boss lvl 9 without using the gold option, also this is the first boss that I've received rare units on :cool:

[Leappy]

For me it is much harder, could kill the previous boss 14 times (no gems at all player), now i am only at lvl 9, think i can kill him a max to lvl 10.

Oh and 8 common out of 8 kills, worst drop rate ever.

[ezinap]

At level 49: boss is exactly equal to last time, when I was at level 45.

[bgood]

I'm all tapped out at 10. At least i've gotten better at recognizing my threshold so I don't waste as much money as i used to in previous events. 2 uncommon and 8 common. No rares what a disappoinment.

[Coog]

He he congrats. I've yet to see a rare in any of these events. Have gotten two uncommons out of ten tries this time, so better than nothing I guess.

[plavine]

I have a 32500 attack and I can't beat level 9.
Have not spent a real dollar on the game

[Gutmaw]

I went up 3 levels to 110, and increased from 55k to 66K atk since the last boss event. I just barely beat boss#9 with all cash hits...doing about 63K per hit. Does this seem right??? My atk is about 25% higher than most at my level...9 just seems very low?

[Talkazar]

This event basically sucks for level 100+

[The_Red]

This event basically sucks for level 100+

yes - its stupid.

[bgood]

yes - its stupid.

I think they should have better units awarded for those at a higher level to at least make it interesting. For a high level person to be only able to get to level 9-10 only to get units that will never be a part of their army is stupid. Its good for low to mid level players but with more and more mid level players camping it wont be worth it for them either.

[Chups]

And semi-suck for level 75+ :D
