Mythical Artifacts & Artifact Showcase - Coming Soon!

[ArturoHAHA]

Over the last two months I sent over 30 high level bomber attacks on very strong defense bases to BHG. Question to BHG, did you even bother to look at them. Your rep, Davis told me he was going to forward them to you for your review. Those many war attack videos made a strong case for bombers being ridiculously overpowered in the higher ages.

So I’m now assuming you simply don’t care because as you've found another way to generate more pay to win revenues. Don’t you get it yet BHG, you’re destroying your own game with all this crap. Are you just desperate? Are you hurting for revenues that bad?
Anyone spending money on this now is nuts. Defense within the higher ages are screwed. No defense, no matter how strong can survive those bomber attacks. And believe, I know defense and consider myself one of the top defenders in the game.
Defense is now boring. No more mobey spending for me.

So bombers attacker should never get pay back for years of building museums and spending money buy tactics?

When BHG overpowered LEGO and fighters, you guys speak nothing for Bomber because you had already have those artifacts in place and took the overpowered privilege for 3 years.

Now the game is re-balancing bomber and you guys are crying.

Also the strong bomber attack is very hard to play compare to the mindless LEGO fighter attack. Only complain after you can use TH + comm + bomber to five stars the top defense base you referred.

Bombers are over powered period. They already walking thru top bases. If they want balance then a big nerf should happen to bombers. It is long over due

Unpopular opinion:

Another aspect I didn’t initially consider as to why I think defenders will benefit more from the mythical artifacts…

Troop Tactics. Recons & Tupolevs specifically but also all TTs that don’t benefit from manufacturing building and regular museum lines are also going to feel a huge impact from tower stats.

These TTs are already fragile compared to their counterparts (recon and bombers from your bases airstrip), now imagine 2 or 3 times as much damage and health from all defensive towers lines.

Everyone believes attackers are going to be unstoppable but I think it’s the other way around.

I wonder if BHG took into consideration that TT sales may drop from this update since they won’t be as useful

I doubt they lose any TT and FSH sales. Players are too addicted to 5 star hits under 2 min. Right now formula is Bombers FSH TT reacon and turps with hanger space. If this becomes less effect but another combo becomes more effect they will use the extra TT space for ground TT etc. I still think Bombers will crush any base after update. Their too many ways to take out all AA and Scan and TT Recon Sabotage when time right . There is just too much damage and hp available for bombers and no way to properly defend against them even with boosted stats coming out for both sides Bomber will prevail cause they make money. They only difference maybe time instead of them taking defenders out under 1:30 it will be 2:15 maybe

Hello @Harlems369th,

Can we please get more information about how the showcase will work? I think enough time has passed now that people have speculated every possible way on how this new feature will work.. it’s time for absolute clarification.. please

To make things easier I will put my questions in numerical order so you can easily reply to them and there’s no confusion as to what part you are replying to.

1: will the showcase have a endless amount of “storage” or will this be another crown cost to increase the “storage” part?

2: will we really be able to activate one line of EACH legendary we have in our inventory (besides the 3 we will activate in our legendary slots in the museum)? For clarification; if I have Leonidas bust and I choose to activate the “Quick Victory time +16%” line in the show case + I have Plane Gyro and use the “Quick Victory time +16%” line as another one of my showcase lines will I have “Quick Victory time +32%”?

3: assuming we get to use one line of each legendary in the game (54 war legendaries currently) we will be able to have 51 showcase lines, correct?

4: with mythical artifacts coming into play , assuming you will make a counter part for every legendary already in the game, would that mean there would be a option for 51 mythical artifact single lines in the showcase as well.. resulting in 102 showcase lines combined?

5: double clarification; if I have Leonidas bust active in my full legendary museum slot (full 5 lines active), will I still be able to activate the “Quick Victory time +16%” from the Plane Gyro in the showcase or will the showcase only allow lines that are not present in legendaries that we have active in the regular 3 legendary museum slots?

6: are there any plans to have a major legendary artifact Marco Polo sale that includes all the past legendaries (except maybe the newest ones from the past 6 months)? The reason for asking this is that many of us have sold A LOT of unused legendaries for supplies in the early days because they did not meet the criteria of any useful current meta strategy, but now with the showcase they turned into a MUST HAVE seeing as we can pick that ONE specific line that makes this a top tier showcase legendary.

7: I also would like to recommend a discounted sale for legendaries that we have previously owned but sold under the misinformation/withheld information of the game taking a complete 180 and implementing a new feature that has most people regretting their decisions for selling those legendaries for scraps because we would NEVER use them, a 50% discount on token cost sounds more than fair for the fact that many of us have owned duplicates of legendaries that we’ve all sold for supplies as they were absolutely terrible choice legendaries to have active in the museum as a full, now many of us are scratching our heads trying to figure out how to get those once useless legendaries that we’ve scraped back.

8: when is the actual release date of this showcase and mythical update? You are losing to many players daily due to the fact of not being transparent and leaving people wondering on where the game is headed.

The community and myself would absolutely appreciate a transparent and completely thought out reply to my questions.

Thanks in advance.

Surely not! I mean, 54 of your most potent lines active at the same time???!

1. Artifact showcase is not a part of your artifact storage. As noted, we’re increasing the maximum available artifact storage to 1000. The Artifact Showcase doesn’t add to that, and all slots of the currently available Legendary Artifacts and the first available Mythical Artifacts will be accessible at release.
   
   
2. This is correct
   
   
3. Yes, at this point in time for your War Hall Legendary Artifacts, and it can be expanded as we add more.
   
   
4. If we make a Mythical Version of every Legendary Artifact, then yes. But remember that your War Legendaries and Main Hall Legendaries are separate, like they usually are; they will not share a pool of benefits. 45 Main Hall Legendaries and 54 War Hall Legendaries.
   
   
5. Your example in 2 is correct you’ll be able to activate your quick victory time.
   
   
6. We will be implementing two new deal groups that will contain almost every legendary artifact we've ever created. There are a couple of exceptions, like the VIP 15 artifact and the ToG artifact, but generally speaking, we're making it possible to get any Legendary you want, 24/7/365 if you have the Tokens for it. We will share more details about the specific dates these will become available as we get closer to release.
   
   
7. We understand the frustration of selling past Legendary artifacts, but we couldn’t have possibly predicted 5 years ago that we would implement Mythical artifacts in the form that it is today. We do have many ways for you to collect Legendary Tokens as we get closer to the release of 12.20, both for free and through premium options. Simply playing daily can net you plenty of Legendary Tokens for you to use as you see fit. You’ll find 8x Legendary Tokens for free daily on DomiNations World, and free daily Supply drops with plenty of Legendary Tokens to collect. Our Legendary Token Event pass is also live right now!
   
   
8. DomiNations update 12.20 is currently targeted to release next month.

When are these going to be made red no one likes the gray. Either you’re full or you’re not. Red or Green.

 

[Seek]

@LuSt and @Harlems y’all at BHG need to either hire Lust or ask him to teach y’all how to explain anything BHG is putting out in video. Just saying it would stop allot of the confusion I see folks having with way BHG is currently explaining stuff. When if you just sent the info video message like Lust does and show how it works folks might not be flipping out as much as they are right now. Come on it not that hard to make a YouTube video to explain the game Lust currently does it for y’all anyway and better.

I really think this is an awesome addition even though F2P and low spenders will feel the divide even more.

Realistically F2P just can’t compete against whales as is so it doesn’t even makes sense to argue that point (councilors, paid buildings, premium TTs, etc) It’s like that in every game.

The silver lining is that legendaries will be much more easily obtainable now compared to what they have been for the past few years because token cost is diluted.

In laymen’s terms- Players spent a bunch of money over the years to acquire legendarys and now they can be obtained much cheaper and easier.

 

[Pinkypig]

Question: will there be some kind of loadout support for the showcase artifact? That is, can I make up one by selecting some lines from each artifact, and make up another selecting different lines, and then choose the one I want to be active? As potentially it could take a long time to reconfigure the showcase for different scenario.

@Harlems369th , thank you so much for the speedy reply and clear answers. The community & myself thank you for this as now we have solid proof of what to expect and what to prepare for.

 

[King Crimson]

Well if you read into it, yes.

The top 5% just got smaller. What a joke.

Which is a slap in the face of long time players. They destroyed the legendary artifact status by giving it to any idiot who is willing to spend money.

This is pretty standard in any mobile game. You pay a premium price for new items when they’re first released and then over time they become more affordable. They do this to make room for the newest items (in this case Myrhical Artifacts) which will come at a premium cost until the next big addition to the game comes along. Basic economics and sales strategy unfortunately.

 

[King Crimson]

any idiot who is willing to spend money.

Even though I've done my fair share of spending in the early years, be grateful the current flux of idi... I mean, dedicated players, keep the game free for the rest of us.
But yeah, anyone who still spends money after the constant focus on specific troops, lack of viable combos, the imbalance of O to D or the blatant bait-n-switch is a dedicated player.

 

[Nikolay]

@Harlems369th, be kind, answer a few questions:
1) Suppose I have a legendary artifact and its benefits are not pumped at all, there are only starting interest. When activating the line on showcase, the maximum bonus of benefits will be given as if it was completely pumped? In other words, we need to pump the benefits of all legendary artifacts as much as possible or is it not necessary?

2) Earlier, I noted that attacking players from Showcase will receive 38 beneficial benefits, and only 23 benefits will be useful to defense players. May be you want to limit the limit of activated benefits in Showcase? Suppose a maximum of 15 or 20 benefits. This will at least not give attacking players such a huge advantage over defense players.

3) Due to the fact that there will be a lot of activated benefits and they will allow you to approach the threshold -85℅, do not want to implement the marking (can in color or description in brackets) of such lines when exceeding the limit, so that the player clearly sees an excess of -85%?
Now there is something similar in the museum of the main hall, but it is implemented in the form of a pop -up message, once, and not for everyone a benifits, but only for a few. And I would like more obvious informativeness.

4) How often will new mythical artifacts appear? We want more diversity and understanding where it is useful to spend legendary tokens. First of all, we are interested in artifacts for world war.

Hey @Harlems369th , @RAH-66 , can’t seem to find anything about the “IR Blocking Smoke” directive that is causing troops to stand still. When’s this getting fixed? Maybe it should be a priority fix before you try and drain more money out of us. I’m sick and tired of losing battles due to the fact that a new “feature” you guys released so long ago causes our troops to stand still and not shoot ANYTHING if you accidentally time the rally wrong and the IR Blocking Smoke drone directive is active. This is ridiculous and I want my money back on all the times I’ve used premiums to fight a battle. All you guys do is make new “features” with zero regard to fixing the wrong doings of the last “feature”, if this new showcase update gets released before any fixes of old glitches and bugs regarding REGULAR GAME MOVEMENT, I’ll be quitting for good. Because you don’t deserve a player base when all you do is ignore the bugs you guys aren’t competent enough to fix. It’s okay to say “we screwed up and have no idea how to fix it” at least thats owning up to your mistakes , but to just go on and on with new updates without fixing old bugs is ridiculous and honestly shows how poorly you think of your player base. Any respectable development company makes their player bases concerns their #1 priority as guess what? You have a job cause of us. I’ve been polite and understanding up until now, cause I’ve absolutely had enough with the incompetence in your company. Every update is the same “What new bugs are we going to have to deal with now” .. like give your heads a shake and realize you are suiciding your game releasing updates without fixing MAJOR flaws , and I don’t want to hear another lame excuse of “we are working on it” or “I keep telling them the problem” DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, stop making new sales stuff and new ways to entice people to spend money until you fix your damned game! @Harlems369th , it’s your job to be part of the community and hear us out, time for YOU to own up to these mistakes and make a list of ALL the known bugs and time frames on when they are getting fixed and show the community that it’s actually being worked on. Make a new post and prove that you are aware of ALL the bugs and glitches and then ask the community to share other known bugs and glitches , print the list of and shove it infront of the ceo of the company and make it a priority to fix these bugs before the releasing more junk to mess up the game even more.

Also, I’m serious about getting my money back on premiums spent when battles lost are due to the game being broken by the incompetent updates put out without proper testing. Give me a direct contact to whoever can return either my tt’s or compensate me by check. As far as I care, I paid money for those troop tactics to be able to win a battle, when my troop tactics don’t act the way they are intended to due to game glitches you guys keep ignoring then you have robbed me of my money. I’m sure there’s some other company’s who went bankrupt due to the community base fighting back legally after years of being robbed.

Enough is enough.
