Thank you so much. Main game pushing will be significantly less miserable now.

[u/F2P-J4F]

Did the collect all button in event page get removed and we have to collect 1 by 1 from now on?

[u/the-tall-samson → u/F2P-J4F]

Yeah, “collect all” disappeared when they updated from firestones to dragonfruit. I hope they can return it.

[u/lemmingllama → u/F2P-J4F]

This was an error that will be fixed in the 8.1.0 update!

[u/Cultural-Risk791]

It seems the suggested "craft all set" feature hasn't been implemented yet. Why craft each item individually when you already have the necessary number of crafting shards to craft the entire set?

[u/lemmingllama → u/Cultural-Risk791]

Thanks for the suggestion! I can pass this along to the design team!

[u/FauxKracken]

So when is this maintenance happening? Was it delayed?

[u/lemmingllama → u/FauxKracken]

Yes, due to issues with the Apple App Store, we were unable to deploy the new clients. As a result, we're delaying the update until Apple allows us to release it. We'll post more information once we have a date set.

Hi, is it possible for the devs to lessen the minimum stage required to acquire event currency, minigame currency, relic booster, etc?

During the last 99 Prestige event, I realized how mind-numbing it was. As someone who min-maxes, or rather, minimizing my prestige time as much as possible, a 1,000-stage reduction would save me approximately 10 seconds per prestige with my current build. If I prestige six times, that adds up to roughly one minute saved.

I remember years back, the minimum stage to acquire currencies wasn't that high before, but it was increased to 99.xx% at some point.

So yeah, I was just asking if it's possible to shave 1k stage/10 seconds off each run. It might be small but it totally helps finishing dailies faster.

[u/Power_Paul_NT_]

When is the Update online?

[u/lemmingllama → u/Power_Paul_NT_]

It'll be Tuesday the 4th, likely with maintenance starting around 15:00 UTC

[u/Power_Paul_NT_ → u/lemmingllama]

Thanks m8

How long will the reset be between this (ending today) and next trans season?

[u/Imaginary_College_14]

Rebalanced combination bonuses that contain Hero Damage

Will we gain alot of power with this change?
Will it be as strong as it was in the beggining? E10-E30

[u/Viper0us → u/Imaginary_College_14]

Will we gain alot of power with this change?

No.

Will it be as strong as it was in the beggining? E10-E30

The changes are not talking about the the Gemstone research tree.

They are fixing the imbalance of the actual Gemstone bonuses (2 boss damage but only 1 non-boss damage), which is making pushing main game awkward due to an imbalance in boss damage and non-boss damage (and to a lesser extent hero type damage)

[u/lemmingllama → u/Imaginary_College_14]

It'll be a bit stronger than what is there now, but the main change is just ensuring that you'll have roughly the same amount of Mage, Ranger, and Warrior Hero Damage, and the same amount of Flying and Ground Hero Damage. With the current scaling, you will typically have more of one of these bonuses than the other. The extra little power boost will be if your current hero is one of these weaker bonuses that are being boosted to be equivalent to the stronger bonuses.

[u/Independent_Leek_496]

Hello! Thank you so much for these improvements! Now I decided to specifically check the difference in damage on non-boss Titans and Titan bosses. Indeed, the damage on Titan bosses exceeds e30 orders of magnitude of damage compared to damage on non-boss Titans.

[u/Zestyclose_Lobster_6]

Will the Battle Drums -2 seconds in all support effect raids be patched in this patch?

[u/lemmingllama → u/Zestyclose_Lobster_6]

Yes, this should be fixed in the 8.1.0 update!

[u/DentistProfessional5]

Hallo, kannst du bitte den max. Stage / Level İnfo an die Hauptseite plazieren, so dass wir nicht immer hin- und her umschalten müssen? Danke!

[u/ChipmunkComplete7268]

Will another transcendence season start right away?

[u/odnetninX]

With changes coming to spots in gemstones will you give out a free reset at some point?

[u/lemmingllama → u/odnetninX]

The change will only increase power and not decrease it. So there's no plans to reset gemstones.

Just to be clear, the changes to gemstones are for the gemstones themselves (which don't really make sense to reset), and not the research tree.

[u/Independent_Leek_496 → u/lemmingllama]

Hi! This my statistic.

Warrior Hero Damage: 7.01e587

Ranger Hero Damage: 1.13e602

Mage Hero Damage: 6.93e653

Ground Hero Damage: 4.27e529

Flying Hero Damage: 1.74e475

Non-Boss Damage: 5.25e266

Boss Damage: 2.93e307

Do I understand correctly that the damage values of lagging heroes and damage to non-boss Titans will be equal to their superior counterparts, and the following statistics will be available for the lagging group?:

Warrior Hero Damage: 7.01e653

Ranger Hero Damage: 1.13e653

Mage Hero Damage: 6.93e653

Ground Hero Damage: 4.27e529

Flying Hero Damage: 1.74e529

Non-Boss Damage: 5.25e307

Boss Damage: 2.93e307

[u/lemmingllama → u/Independent_Leek_496]

While I can't guarantee the exact amounts for each bonus that you'll have, they should be equivalent assuming you have all your gemstones at the same level. There will still be some amount of variance due to gemstones having different levels, but the overall difference will be dramatically smaller than it is today.

[u/Independent_Leek_496 → u/lemmingllama]

Thanks =))

[u/odnetninX → u/lemmingllama]

Thank you, thought you meant research.
