Since a little foxy told me how to play with pk mode, I really love doing the lycaeum now, I've been getting 700ish scores, even 800+, so I'm a happy camper!

That's good to hear f:victory

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I've been having it multiple times lately. The hoard comes in, it gets the correct buffs and the guards are at the right attack mode. All of the mobs are dying...except one. This has been happening often for me, and it is making it so I cannot activate a next guard, thus losing major points. f:weep Any one else with this problem?

Save for the first two waves, the hoards usually give more points than you need to activate the next guard. In fact, I sometimes have two or three slip by because I can't change the guards over fast enough. Are you killing the foxes and other mobs that come through? Those effect your scores as well and if you don't kill they can take away enough points to prevent guard activation.

I make sure that they are debuffed right when they come in. It's mobs right in the middle of the hoard, and even towards the ends, when all the others are dying easily. I make sure to kill all the foxes, I have my sound on so I know when it pops in. I nuke the turtle, I kill everything I personally need to. For some reason, it's a middle or last mob that dies while the others get killed just fine.

Sounds...really odd. Could record and show us? Might be able to help you better that way.

I actually managed to fail my run yesterday by, behold, getting stuck at the reward NPC. xD Seems like getting too close to her is bad idea or I'm too fluffy ._.

New Veno Leveling instance, Lycaeum of Cultivation

These are some of the problems with this new event which I found that makes it nearly impossible to work this event successfully. No one expects the event to be easy but I have only learned to 2nd guess what to do which is not a good way to properly correct FLAWS in a broken event process.

I have sent in a Support Ticket and I suggest you do the same so this will get FIXED.
You comments are wellcome

PROBLEMS I FOUND

* Can not change the attack of the PuffBird or the guards very easily because you have to TAB to Target them (nothing else works) and then AOE attack them to change its state. This can not be done quick enough if at all because the Tabbing selects many other targets including the Mobs marching by while you frantically try to target your helpers to change their attack state.

* Can not tell what attack state a guard is in unless you go near it or it is attacking a mob. (Physical or Fire attack)

* I have no idea when I should try to activate a guard because you can not easily see how many points you have in order to activate the new guard. I have however been able to activate a second guard but only after doing this event 20 times and it was random.

* While pet is attacking or chasing Fox (mob, ect), pet will unsummon because it goes out of range. The pet should never go out of range in this instance.

* Pet spends all its time chasing a mob and rarely gets to attack the mob as the mob keeps moving out of range of the pet's attack.

* A player's attack does very little damage in fact they are useless for killing any mobs before they exit.

* Why do some of the quest messages in this game say the oposite of what they mean? At the end you can trade 1 Ferel Soul Star for 10 Ferel Soul Stars but the message reads BACKWARDS and says you can "trade 10 old for 1 new". This would make you think that it takes 10 to get 1 instead of 1 to get 10 and players would not want to lose 9 Ferel Stars. This text is probably a BAD translation that never got proof read and should be corrected.

This is a nice addition to the game but it is not very helpful if it does not function properly.
How long is it going to be before these flaws are corrected PWI ?

Desdi - Sanctuary

Didn't you post the same thing a while ago? O.o

You should not have to adjust to an event if it was designed to work without you having to change, it should be FIXED !!!

As a player it drives me nuts when players just go along with broken and crappy game content without saying anything to the game developers.

Desdi - Sanctuary

I've already responded to you last time you posted that saying that it's been reported already and the former CM even posted about it being looking into.
We should probably remind them though or submit a few more tickets.

However, while waiting for a fix what are we supposed to do? Just sit there and AFK?
Umm, I want extra stars and a chance at the skill books so I'll keep going in PK mode for it.

Edit: Also, did you read the responses you received when you posted that same post? The only thing that needs to be fixed is the incorrect text (which isn't a big issue honestly, just click the monsters and check yourself) and the PK mode thing. The rest on your post are not bugs.

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

The event was designed with the Chinese servers in mind - all of which are PVP. We can hope for the event to be adjusted to allow it to be done as easily while blue named, but I'm not holding my breath waiting.

BriarFoxy - Raging Tide

Is there any info about which pets evolve and what they evolve into ?

Nope.

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

Ecatomb has the information - all evolved pets are at the top of the list, with the names of the pets they evolved from included.

Basically -
All legendary pets can evolve (natch)
Most rare pets can evolve. Exceptions are the snow hare and tabby.
A few of the more popular commons can evolve - level 2 scorpions, the dark wanderer, magmites, the glacial walker, Eden cactopods, plumpfish, the petite sawfly, and that's it.

Ilyania - Lost City

I've been trying to record it doing this, but I think PWI is trolling me and not doing it Q~Q

Desdi - Sanctuary

What recording program did you use?

Ilyania - Lost City

My wonderful Hubby lets me use his fraps o,o; I'm really new to the recording thing x.x

Desdi - Sanctuary

Fraps has worked for me so far. I don't know what could be the problem

Ilyania - Lost City

Yeah, I think it happens with kowlins mainly. I was watching the guards as they attacked and all I could possibly think is that the speed that the guards attack somehow misses the kowlins? I don't know if that's possible, but that's all I can come up with at this moment Dx

Desdi - Sanctuary

Interesting...today I did the instance and some Kowlins weren't killed.
I checked and they were debuffed properly, guards were on the right mode (no RESIST! on my screen either) and I had activated all the guards possible yet some Kowlins were not killed.

Looks like it is some sort of odd bug O.o never happened to me before.

I'd assume that kowlins passed puffbird too fast to get debuffed or came to first guard whise you were switchung it, but if you checked they all got slowed, looks like really a bug. I wanted to say it never happened to me, but actually i got 996 or so score several times though i was almost sure all got proper debuffs and nobody slipped into portal, so could happen on later waves and i just didn't pay attention.

Also recorded my run while ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BH6McZ0TOFg) though this was smooth one, except for almost missed a boss and had to use thunder powder lol

I found it odd because I didn't even need to switch the guard modes and all the Kowlins I saw were debuffed with slow.
I have to say I've also had this happen a few times and randomly get a lower score even though I was certain I did everything right.

It does sound like a bug o.O but we'd need to investigate more before we can possibly report this.

I'm gonna add your video to the guide since there was no video on completely backwards guard activating method P:

Yeah, i like to do everything not like normal people usually do b:laugh The only problem in this method is cactus, because if it comes on early waves soul degeneration is over when it reaches first active guard. But i let it pass, then switch puffbird and catch up. Maybe it's not the most convenient strategy ever, but it brings me less trouble than activating guards while mobs are almost at them. Tried to start activating from middle but somehow it didn't went well too. Habit is our everything b:victory

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

Finally got a perfect score in Lycaeum (activating from start, I'd usually been doing it from middle), I think I got lucky in not having to switch guard/puffbird modes much, and not having ferals spawn just before waves.

Still no luck on getting skill scrolls, I'd really like to get Bless on my giant.

That's what I'm aiming for as well P:

Mayfly - Dreamweaver

I'll eventually get the base vitality scroll for level 6 bless, but that's from vault 6, and my base's vault is only level 4 (have to level base at least 3 times more to get it to level 6, it looks like... do higher level buildings ever need more than 2 tech points to level?)

DeffyNature - Archosaur

Speaking of skilling the legendaries, wouldn't a nix with strong and protect be a really good ides? Superior dd power and more tankyness than a herc sound really nice to me. Any thoughts?

Desdi - Sanctuary

It would still not match a Giant I believe due to the defence/HP/defence level inherit stats but it would definitely be very very tanky and if you can afford it then go for it. I remember there were quite a few Venomancers running around with Strong/Protect on their Phoenixes o.o
