@Fox @Community-Managers

Can we please get some clarification from SP, there are many players (mostly over level 90) that are reporting only getting 68 event coins for growing 2.8 million food. This means each event coin costs 41 THOUSAND food. So for the length of the event (if someone pays to reactivate their food guardian) and if they collect for the full 72 hrs that would yield a total of 4896 coins, the new monster is in excess of 20,000 coins. PLEASE have SP explain how this is balanced. Players over level 80 don't get additional farms, they don't get additional habitats, they don't get additional breeding spots or hatching spots, there are ZERO benefits to the player over level 80 so WHY do the requirements go up???? We have no additional means of gaining event coins that other players don't have but the expectation is for us to have to do more!!! I get that higher level players have more resources saves so ok you want to make it cost more fine but before the BALANCING it was about 2700 food for 1 coin, now its 41,000 that's a bit of a jump and needs to be fixed!! Thanks!!!

Coins for collection food is completely jacked up again. 10 coins for 1.4M food. Looks like SP did not do a single thing to fix things again.

Edited for language

again no coins for collecting food, again no monster from the 72 hr challenge for me ...collected whole lot of food for 20 coins , is this how it's supposed to be after the so called "balancing" ? I'm confused :P

@Alex-Pisi

Sadly yes , the game is not broken but this is the balancing !!!

Again another 72 hr challenge where I can not get the monsters, seriously 13 coins for 2.8m food. @Fox its time to just quit adding mazes, progressive island and now 72 hour challenges. They are all no longer worth the effort. I will just buy them when they are offered. The light at the end of the tunnel has been extinguished. Waste of effort to ALWAYS come up short.

It is intended for you to buy coins to complete the challenge. It is more of a sale than a challenge though...

Totally agree , you canot even secure the epic

@Fox

@Haka-Taka I'm hoping the comma is in the wrong place in the coding... 4,100 food vs 41,000 food would be a lot more reasonable.

@Fox This what you posted:
Hello everyone,

Tha maze is coming to an end and today we can look forward to the 72hour challenge.

This time, please, make sure you update the game to the latest version 5.5.1 as the event won't work as intended otherwise.

Thank you and have fun!

I thought that at least higher level could obtain 1 Monster ?? or is it intended that higher levels can't get any without buying coins

I will never waste my time on another progressive island maze or 72 challenge again. They are not worth the aggravation of disrupting breeding activating guardian again. Nothing will be lost as they are totally impossible without spending which I refuse to do.

@Haka-Taka last challenge we couldn't collect anything this time we got the shaft again

8 coins for collecting 2.8 million food this is a joke

Anyone knows how many coins we need exactly for those 3 monsters? It's going to be interesting close to the end of the event. I'd figure Pinky Flash should be within reach for me, I'm just level 71 so I get more coins (but of course also fewer food and money).

Anybody want some cheese?

Set 3 farms to grow 5m food and got the grand reward of 4 coins...and yes, I am on the latest version, it's just that their balancing is totally skewed against long time players (who are more likely to be at a high level).

Might just aim for Pyrotech as I need him to finish a chapter in one of the books, but not sure I'll have enough even for just him!

I use 1 farm (5m of food each time) and I don't breed monsters.

Do I have a chance of getting Psilotus down to 300-400 gems if I don't bother with the other 2 (wasn't going to bother with them anyway, as I have them already)?

Yup, I'll pass. Isn't it fun how as the game progresses, there is LESS and LESS to do?

we used to be able to do mazes, that go butchered, pass on that.
We used to do breeding events, chances on that got butchered. pass on that.
we used to have fun wars. matchmaking get butchered, rewards got butchered.
we used to have survival dungeons which were kinda challenging and fun! :D you guessed it!

Awesome job SP, keep on taking away our reasons to play.
@Fox

When people refer to greed that's what they mean.
We are all well aware you need to make money, but there has to be balance where people are still motivated to at least try.
so many events have made us now feel "why should we even bother? "

if I make it more than half way through the 72 hr challenge, I might spend a little to get to the end. But if I can't even get 25% I won't even bother with it. This is at a time where non ranked monsters have become less and less valuable. The fact that there is even a round 2 and 3 that no one reaches is laughable. At least make the 1st round easy and the latter progressively harder.

same thing for mazes! if I am short of getting the last 2 monsters I will spend to get them. If I can't make it to even the 1st legendary I will not bother.

same for breeding events. For example: Shallinar which had good breeding chances, I spent gems to breed her and then later on her offers to rank her further. Compared to the newer ones where we don't even bother to try because the chances have become too low and the keep getting worse and worse with the random epic additions.

Please, restore some sort of balance. We love this game, we want to have fun, we want to play, we want it to succeed. It has become either enter credit card numbers to have any sort of fun or have any chance in an event/challenge or just ignore it. Dedication and effort is no longer rewarded and now means nothing. I find myself opening this game less and less. It is heartbreaking for us. We do not want to lose it. Please.

I just got 80 coins for winning a PVP battle.

@Sam said in 72hr event is still broken!:

I agree in general with your post but not about the mazes
I am not into maze any more so i play and get what i can . i didn't battle any pvp , i was breeding darkzgul for undead book so my breeding time were not 4h but much longer but yeah i collect gold regular and may grow 30 sec food few times a day
And i got al monster except the last 2 . So new epic and 2 new legendary , i think id you were focusing on it you could get krugbo too

So the maze difficultly so far is acceptable , i even saw a member who got jasastur free

@Haka-Taka
I agree, mazes and progressives are somewhat tedious but you at least get some epics and legendaries for free, though it'd be nice to be able to finish them once in a blue moon. But it's acceptable.

The coin rate for the last few 72h events is certainly unacceptable.

@Archer160
Indeed and i thought after the huge negative feedback about last 72 h this one will be different but

I am also getting annoyed by the way SP promote new monsters with fake high skills that people get excited about, only to nerf them before they actually get released.

It is like releasing a trailer for a movie but when you go to the cinema, nothing was in the film that excited you to buy a ticket in the first place.

But I guess that is for another thread.

@Clackers said in 72hr event is still broken!:

I got 80 points for my first PvP battle. And then 0 points for winning the next 3 battles.

Yep, again no point for even trying. Should have waited and checked the forum before activating my food guardian but I trusted @Fox message that it has been fixed, so I only made sure that I am on the latest version...

... I guess you can't trust anything anymore in this game. Assume things are broken until confirmed otherwise by the player base :(

Well, since I am level 130 I have no chance of getting any monster. But I will get some gems and some cells, so not a total waste. But certainly not going to put much effort into this.

How much coins need to get psilotus?

The same here Im level 100 and I don't get much coins when collecting 2 million of food, what's wrong? is it a bug, or is it done on purpose?

Am about to hit 130 myself so I won't be expecting to get a monster either. My food supplies need replenishing though so will be activating my guardian this morning and will see how near to Pyrotech I get. No point aiming for the L, just go for the monster I need.

@Dewei

From Fb group this is the event cost
Psilotus: 23 715
Pinky flash: 19 450
Pyrotech: 8 085

@Haka-Taka Impossible to get 23k coins in 3 days. I am trying to get the price down to around 350 gems, then I will buy it.

Coins in Monsterwood now. At least that is something...

Lucky players are mid levels with alot of gold , i saw few pictures of players already got the new legendary

@Haka-Taka I'm level 24 and I only have 3 cards left for that pink fat thing. Hopefully I will get at least that one legendary (my first one) even if it's ugly lol

@Simon771 Pinky Flash is a really good attacker.

You will notice that she has a massive damage attack with 0 cooldown - plus a move that gives her double life AND double damage for 2 turns.

@Clackers It's great to hear that, but she looks just hideous xD

@Fox can you please explain to me the benefits of a player ranking up their level in this game? I don't know of a game that regresses it's players abilities because they've persevered with doing all the right things to progress in their game play. The "balancing" changes,...please explain to me, how players at lower levels are raking in hundreds of coins for this challenge & the most higher level players can take in is 34 coins with Faunus activated with 3 stars...how, is this "balancing" the game, exactly..? I don't just want to play this game to rank up breedables, lol...I've been playing this game because I like team wars, I liked the ability to strive towards getting monsters from the Maze Islands, the Progressive Islands & the 72h challenges...now, I can't get far with anywhere in this game, apart from buy to rank, breed to rank...but don't collect any new monsters! Is this how the powers that be are choosing to "balance" the game? Have I got to desist from collecting new monsters in this game? At the end of the day, I used to rank up these new monsters too (like many others who play the game)...& I regularly have to buy replicates to rank them up. I am spending to rank up...but why should I choose to spend anymore, if my rewards in this game have been taken away completely from me. Great that some players only play this game for team wars, but the majority of us play the game for all aspects of it! Why is it wrong to want to play team wars & collect monsters at the same time...after all, ML started off by being a collector's game (sigh)...
@Fox please respond...I need to know whether it's worth my while to stick with this game or completely give up the ghost...I don't want to constantly take 1 step forward & go back 10 steps, because, to be quite honest, that's exactly what has happened with the 72h challenge.

@ss13 Obviously the people that keep this game lively and refreshing have not spent 5 minutes playing the game.

@Clackers tell me what good is it to know how good the skills are when it is the 3rd day and I barely have 5k coins collected. @Fox why is it now impossible for high level players can not the epic. It just isn't fair why are events even released when all we get is a slap in the face. Things never get better only worse. SP should be ashamed more and more will leave. It seems staff no longer cares.

No it isnt impossible for high level to get the epic I'm 121 and got the epic, the coins are in the breeding longtime breeders. The problem with that is that we just had a breeding event and our guardian is on cooldown and the hatchery is full so thats the crux now but more then the epic I dont think so.

Hmm I did notice that I was getting a decent amount of coins in breeding, as well as in multiplayer. Since the coin drop rate was so low I changed my strategy from trying to get a monster to only getting the gems and cells starting with Pyrotech. I am almost done all except 1 card in Pinky's stage so if I would have stayed true to my previous strategy I probably could have picked up the Pyrotech, I am level 130. But as @Marianne-van-Es stated I doubt I would have been able to complete either of the legendary monsters. Thanks to all these balances my strategy from now on for these 72 hour events is to just try for the cells and gems, it is not worth the aggravation and frustration for these low drop rates

If I am lucky I will get the epic, I am already soiling myself in anticipation. :P

Im very happy I got Pyro didnt have him yet and he is factor in the next breeding event and its not that I'm overexcited for yet another breeding event , but I don't like it if I cant even try :))

What is the rumors for the next one? Anything new or repeats like the last one. I actually liked not having the pressure of trying for it, it gave me a chance to really enjoy getting all those epics for cells....ok I was only being semi-sarcastic because I was able to rank up Teddy Fear, Tao Tao, and Rhynex. But I was able to finally get rid of Rhynex so at least it let me clear up one spot in the habs.

@Nynaevelan ok little of topic but its called flashbreeding: two Legendary monsters available through the same breeding combination during this event!"

"There are two special monsters available in this breeding event! Breed Nidaria with Pyrotech for a chance to get Queen Luthien or King Daeron. Remember other exclusive monsters may come up as a result of the combination! Check the Monster Legends Community Facebook page for joker combinations."

straight from Taringa so nothing is sure

@Marianne-van-Es trust me... there's a gaping hole between lvl 121 & those of us at lvl 130...not funny at all. I remember struggling like this at lower levels... deja vu

Sweet, so old monsters, which gives me another break. Hmm maybe I will get different epic fails for some more cells.
