    Greetings Commanders,

    Last night we made some improvements to the event. We increased the XP payouts of Tier B and Tier A. We also reduced the amount of units in defense waves in Tier C & B, and some of the defense waves in Tier A. Hopefully these changes will reduce the lag and difficulty a bit in those missions.

    Unfortunately, the Missions do not correctly say how much XP they are actually paying out. You will get far more XP than the event HUD advertises on certain waves. Here are the real facts, we hope you enjoy.

    The XP increases are substantial, especially on early waves. You will see these amounts when you defeat a wave!

    Just to get this straight.For tier B,mission 2,xp has gone from 4250,now to 9000 xp??
    Glitch commander.Toons still not doing as they are told lol.Yes,xp has increased as per the above,but it shows old xp amount on the overview.But you get the increased xp once wave is done.

                Can some one take a look into the def wave issues keeps saying you've been defeated.
    Happens to me all the time. That's why I was never able to finish Onslaught and why it takes so long to go through 1 tier in this event.

    First off, Chris, thanks for listening to the feedback of the players.

    Secondly, for those who are still complaining about the difficulty of defense of Tier A, there are 2 possible conclusions why you still are saying it's difficult:

    1. You haven't tried it yet
    2. Your base isn't strong enough and should play a lower tier level

    Tier A defense is SIGNIFICANTLY easier.  IMO, there should be no more reductions or it will be a joke.
    ok what about thos doing the B series, I still today when activating any defense portion can not control my guard inside my base, hence extra damages. And 2 I rarely even get to see what exactly is even attacking me, now a few words about the offense waves. We need to know which building continue to spawn attackers, and even if you do, you better throw your phantom on them, and just take the hit damage wise, or you can be sure anything you throw at it will grind you to dust....  One complete set of a B series, and I have lost Kara and 2 lead platoons, shelia and 2 lead platoons, and brother jerimiah and 2 lead platoons or preservers, 30 hours of damage. This does not unclude the 1 d 8 h repair of my base platoon.. I have heavy platforms, napalms maxed some airborn some not my base is middle of the road. My base aint crap but I am getting beaten like a redheaded stepchild....... Ronin. scorpions. arachnid Javs and 14 elite hoovers if an average player has a 3 day repair for a single set of B's just how far do you expect them to go?   I was so looking forward to Halloween event, but this is frankly very sad.................  Just FYI in any of the past say 6 event, I was able to do 2 complete sets of b's with a single plat of sf, for like 4 to 5 hours repair, so swapping using op's and refining my attacks, I was ALWAYS able to achieve my goal...... IMO no-body is considering the damages received from days one screw up, and that screw up places those that played behind in a fashion they can't catch up, unless the coin all plats to 100% and try again, even tho hard to fight an invisible foe, Not talking about the new Heli either

    Increasing payout is nice, but most of us lost most of our unit day one, chasing the smaller amounts. We still have severe lag in defense modes, and attack modes while workable have small item only experience will learn, sadly learning is unit destructive
  • and what have done tier b will get the increase of these xp or he will be with his xp

    It is more laggy now than before, units now completely unresponsive and taking more damage, doesn't feel like anything was fixed. Yes I made a fresh clean scan of everything - cache, history, dns, flash data.... , no improvement at all, it is actually worse now.

    Such a presumptuous statement, only 2 options. Maybe, just maybe, a third might be:

    3.  You're suffering so much lag that at best your base defenders don't respond or worse still it just freezes until death.

    And that has nothing to do with neither not trying nor not being strong enough!

    PS: Consider yourself lucky not to suffer the lag that some do!

    CM Chris while this is a STEP in the right direction the defense waves are still excessive.

    I see the Slight reduction, though perhaps it wouldnt have needed to be if A) repairs were instant B ) what you have done now ( reduction of difficulty ) C) Unlimited Medals for the duration of the event or D) combo of A and B OR E) Combo of B AND C.....making us " WORK" for it. Though option C would have been very useful. 

    Serioulsy, I had to waste medals that are hard to come by cuz you always got me chasing the **** carrot, that I hardly get time to relax and **** breathe ( talking about stupid Shadow Ops ).

    Also, I wouldn't expect any retro active XP to be added.   Conditions change.  This would be no different than when Kix lowered repair time.  New conditions = go forward benefits, not retroactive.
    Conditions change?  Really!  Over egg an event as per usual and let everyone suffer in the hope people coin to repair! And that is why it won't be retrospective!

    i have tried tier b 6 times on 3 different computers and 2 different internet connections and every time it disconnects me while doing the 50. I can not repeat the tier b again without doing the 50.

    Everyone is saying Tier B the 50 base is bugged where you can't finish it, has this been fixed?
    We are not aware of this, and I have not had this problem personally.
    I'm experiencing this I cant complete wave 50 it disconnects me then resets the base

    overall this has been a rough start for a event. I liked the def waves being added even with the lag it added more balance to the event. I don't expect to get retroactive xp from waves already done.

    froze up  so overall I think it been a pretty fun event. see lot new designs and effort went into making  diff bases and if you look and take your time they all got weaknesses and most can be done with a minimal amount off loss.

    It would be fun...If it worked. I agree that having much more bases to attack makes it less boring, too bad the glitches are preventing me from going any farther.
