Hardcore Boss Discussion Thread

[[PM] President Hightower]

Hey All!

We'd like to have a general post where people can ask questions and discuss the event; This way any updates we need to make on the post to clarify are all in one place.

Thanks!

Glad to see this wasn't an oversight because the units are really nice. I would say get rid of the 60 unit limit because these units can be lost easily. I did one attack and lost 14 of the jets and like 10 of the tanks. This doesn't make sense because the units are supposed to have a low loss rate and my casualty loss percent is -60% so why am I losing so much.

Also, I would have like to have known the Supply Drop acted as Health Packs before I bought one but its whatever, I'll have it when I need it. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out though!

How is the group of players competing against each other determined?

Does this mean Health Regen not used for epic boss and replaced by supply drops?
Sounds like a gold grab to me,as usual....

I think there will still be regen, but the supply crates will speed things up. And the way the format will be set up, you'll most likely need to use tons of supply crates to keep up. So yes, this is their newest gold grab

1) Health Regen does not affect this event. Thought it uses Epic Boss as a foundation, this is treated as a new type of event. It will not replace Epic Boss, however. EB will still be around.
2) You should be losing fewer units by now. Keep in mind they are destroyed when people attack you through PVP as well. These are most useful during the HCB event since they decay at a decent rate.

Pidgeot is right, you lose 20 per attack sometimes.

Why do t you know this? Don't you play the game? How do you actually test it?

Has the boss strength been jacked up again so people with low accounts and minis get to a certain point and hit a brick wall?

So now I think we might have confirmation that the casualty rate reduction bonus does nothing. There is no way I should be losing this many units if they have a 2% casualty rate combined with my -76% casualty rate reduction bonus.

This units (as stated by Hightower) are NOT AFFECTED by the casualty bonuses

Thanks, I missed that part I guess. Seems a little silly to have a casualty rate reduction bonus and never use it since everything is indestructable now. Now that there is a destructable unit that makes our armies it doesn't use the bonus. That makes absolutely no sense but whatever, this is Gree(d) we're talking about.

Game is broke.

[Shadow Lurker]

I just triggered a boss but the pop up screen is blank. It's showing an active boss with 1hr 52 mins left on the clock but I cant hit him because the screen is blank. Please fix ASAP!
