King Tut’s Tomb Event 7/1 - 7/8
In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the entrance to the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings. The tomb had been lost for centuries, preserving a massive trove of ancient artifacts. Along with the famous funerary mask and solid gold coffin, Carter’s team found thrones, weapons, musical instruments, jewelry, an alabaster chalice, and a dagger made of meteoric iron. This massive collection of artifacts still travels the world as a museum exhibition and has ensured King Tut’s place in history!

• All Artifacts Crafted have a 5x chance to have benefits starting at 11%!
• Both Main Hall and War Hall Artifacts have a 2x chance to reroll benefits starting at 11%!

@Harlems369th, inquiring minds would like to know - is this correct? War Hall Artifacts will include 11% lines?

This isn't correct and is being adjusted. The loot table for crafting is correct, just the informing text is wrong, it was copied from our previous lucky re-roll event and wasn't adjusted for this new event.

Thanks so much for confirming!

@harlems why is the crafting event producing pieces that can have 4 AV lines? No other strat can have this, surely a coding error on the back end.

Nope, no error, you got insanely lucky, congrats!

Thanks. It was an alliance mate but uhh... This change wasn't posted ahead of time on any forum right? What's with the logic of the change? Will this be possible with other types of lines or JUST AVs? This is a big change to how museum has operated.

We talked about it in the Update 12.19 Notes actually. Granted, we didn't get as granular as we got here in the week ahead.

It could be utilized for other benefits, it was an ask to try and see if we could help make targeted efforts to restructuring a museum and the introduction of brand-new lines was deemed as a great way to introduce an event like this. Who knows what the future holds, but something we're keeping an eye on, and something we can tweak for an improved Artifact crafting experience.

So to confirm, it's only pieces crafted this week that can have up to 4 AV benefits (eg a damage) on a war piece? This cannot, as currently constructed, be extended to other strats (eg bombers) and there is no plan to change this?

We have an event that increases the possibility of running into AV lines.

Your second question is a different sentence that I've not said at all.

I think how I read the event, and most others did as well, is that you would have an increased probability of getting an AV line and a good line at that. Moreover, because of that, you'd have an increased likelihood of getting a war piece with whatever desired AV buffs you wanted (max of two of the same line) . What wasn't expected by the community, was a change of the museum mechanics of war pieces. Such as the piece I showed above, you can now acquire 4 of the same war buff (eg AV hp) on one piece. That was previously a max of 2. This week ahead post and the rebalance one did not make clear that the mechanics of museum were changing for this event. Does that make sense?

Admit this was not the intended outcome of the update, if this is the case you are royally screwing over the entire community by saying maybe or maybe not will we allow more 4 of the same exact lines per artifact in the future, you are then allowing us to have say 60 x 3 bomber hitpoints in 3 armour pieces?! 180% bomber hp without including legendaries or future showcase lines + mythical lines… like come on man.. at this point you guys are resorting to calling bugs features and running with it.

 

[Zexack]

How is any of this a rebalance? This is nothing more than the latest money grab. Free to play will cease to exist competitively. AV Will still be useless even with this special treatment from the museum. There used to be 3 valid attack strategies and now there’s only two. Helis are still being treated differently by having a separate range on buildings. The player base is growing tired of all the semantics. Bottom line, you’re going to lose a large amount of your player base. We keep voicing our displeasure and confusion and are met with absolute disregard. Congratulations on ruining a once great mobile game that people would be happy spend some money on.

Totally understand, but we didn't bring forth the specifics of the probability to run into those lines because, although SUPER rare, it always has been possible to get something like that.

There are some limiters that help us maintain the artifact pool, but beyond that, this has always been a thing despite it not being the norm.

It's never been possible to get more than 2 of the same lines on a WAR PIECE. In multi player museum you are correct.

^^^ This actually doesn't do the best job of explaining the roll possibilities in our system.

So 'same benefit twice' benefit means "same Troop/Building, same stat, same percentage"

There is a world where you could hypothetically roll an artifact of all lines being the same and having varying percentages.

That is 100% incorrect. You cannot have more than 2 lines of Mortar Damage on a weapon. No matter the %.

So, you are telling me in the X amount of years and BILLIONS of fragments I used , I just got shitty luck? Put proof of this in this forum or we can all tell you are full of it.

CONGRATULATIONS, I QUIT!

All you now have resorted to is full on LYING!

Harlems, this is not how the game works for war artifacts and you may want to check with your staff. Until the current event WITH AV we have never had world War pieces that had the same line x3. You could not have all defensive towers damage x3 on a piece for example. MP museum is a little different, of course.

 

[majikthise]

Agree - the community must have rolled literally millions of artefacts between them, and nobody has EVER posted evidence of more than two of the same line appearing on a War artefact
