Augustus b'Raass Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The game has crawled, for me anyway, to an unbearable crawl... Takes days for any upgrade to get trough, and I need millions to purchaze any upgrades yet ennemies yield only ~50k each...i don't get this. Don't you have a relic that boosts power and resource rewards? I have both at ~+30% and I average about 85k per npc. Also, when you refresh player bases, look for one that is online, and just try to attack him after every npc base - chances are he'll be offline for a sec and you get to steal al his hard won power! Just today I raided two bases for 800k and 1.4million respectively - I've started upgrading my science, vault, and comms in less than 24 hrs. Now I can leave the game alone for a couple days, let the economy restore itself (bases get tetaken), and I have time for some real life painting! :d Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4104720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Those relics really do help. Between like five different relic bonuses that stack rather than overlap, I have a Power Production rate of ~145%, and a Rewards boost of 58% extra. My Munitions only get a Rewards boost of about 30%, but that never runs out anyways. All thanks to "Resource" Production/Rewards stacking with "Power" and "Munitions" Production/Rewards. Those few times I see Power rewards in the hundreds of thousands, it is nice knowing I'll be getting hundreds of thousands more. It took me a solid hour to farm an HQ upgrade to 16, after using all my Power on some Rally upgrades. That was about 2 million Power. I'm sure the others will take longer.

Jolemai Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 The game has had an update which sees it perform better (less crashes). They've also tweaked the artwork and done a few other bits. Also, the Titan is back down to 50, but has been nerfed pretty bad.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Titan back down to 50? Not in my game, it's still 70 where I'm at. @Conn Eremon: npc bases yield more power and ammo the higher your level, so it will take less time to collect the required amount of power to upgrade the higher you're up. Conversely however, power prices go up too. Two million power will take 15 minutes, but the average building costs 2 million to upgrade too. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4148066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Change log for August 12, 2015 GAMEPLAY CHANGES Game now holds in memory longer so you can suspend the app for longer and come back without reloading. Added a 2x/3x speed button to the combat UI Updated friend features. Added Facebook friend invite option. Added version number to the load screen. Corrected Achievement Sorting: Unclaimed first, then others, then fully completed last. Removed the Combat Tactic delay on AI and enemy player maps, so Tactics now trigger instantly. Improved Daily mission system. Increased all font sizes for phones. Revised Chapter Glory Tournament so it’s based on Glory gained during the season month, not total Glory. Added a Weekly Glory Tournament feature. This will be on an individual basis and as above, it will be based on glory gained each week, rather than total glory overall. Relic bonus fixes. Balanced audio. You can now tap a Combat Tactic a second time to deselect it.

Added “Last Known” resources to the world map popups of enemy player bases so you can see approximately how many resources you might win Tooltips will be added to the planet loading screen. The move to convert all of our units, turrets and buildings to 3D has begun. This will drastically improve performance and the visuals & animations look way better! Troop Companies are indicated on screen when using the Beacon Tactic. General bug fixes and performance improvements. BALANCE CHANGES Heavy Bolter turrets can now target Air units. Lascannons’ fire rate is slowed down significantly. Flamer turrets now receive a bonus against Terminators and Jetbikes. The Beamer now has a much longer range.

The Titan now fires a fixed number of laser shots before the Tactic completes. All troops better resist damage from other troops. Various other minor balance changes. Titan back down to 50? Not in my game, it's still 70 where I'm at. Checked this morning, mine's at 50...

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Heavy Bolter turrets are now anti-air. OK.... weird. It's good though - Whirlwinds sucked in any other role except aa, and high-level HBturrets can pack a considerable punch while being far cheaper. Good to know.

Jolemai Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Things in the "minor balance" section include the Fire Raptor cost three units to deploy and the Beamer being able to target things up close (at least it's being doing it to me). Still finding bits and pieces. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4149805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 What do you mean with "fire raptor costs three units to deploy"? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4149816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm using the word "unit" as I can't remember what the name is for whatever it is you use up to use things like Dominate, etc. Sorry for the confusion. Before the update, the Fire Raptor cost 2 to deploy, now it costs 3.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Ah, you mean energy. But a fire raptor is a 'troop' (the flyer), which you have to build with ammunition. Deploying troops doesn't cost energy at all. Perhaps you mean the Deathstorm assault pod? Unless things have radically changed since last Saturday, since I haven't been able to properly log in since then. The game keeps shutting off after a couple of seconds after starting up, and customer service hasn't been as fast as usual...

Jolemai Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yes, I'm fully aware it's a Troop. You still have to expend energy to deploy it. Taken just now: Note the little "3 bullet" in the Fire Raptor entry. Also displayed is the cost of the Titan in my game.

Kilofix Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Btw, for some reason, I've inherited the old B&C Clan on Drop Assault but I don't play that much anymore. If anyone wants to take over, let me know and I'll promote you.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Ah, I figured it out. Customer service told me the changes have been implemented for Android users, but not for iOs users. This'll happen in a couple of days... iOs users: be sure to restart your device when the update is installed. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4150787 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Sounds interesting. I am a big fan of how the update turned out. There was lots of tweeking for a couple of weeks - and I sure had to adapt tactics in a major way. But in the end I really think the game turned out better and more challenging than it was before. I also reached level 50 last week! Woot! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4220055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Version 1.2 is out now. Changelog: Change log for November 19, 2015 GAMEPLAY CHANGES Units, turrets and buildings are now all in 3D with much smoother animations! The Archmagos, the first unit of the new Legion Elite class, is now available for battle! The Archmagos can be trained and upgraded with the new Legion Favour resource. Performance and memory improvements mean that you will get into the game and into battles faster. You will now see more visual upgrades to your buildings as you level them up. You can now select the Beacon Combat Tactic for a single Unit Group by tapping on that Unit Group along the bottom of your screen. Status effects in battle are much clearer. Install and download sizes are significantly smaller. There are new non-player base configurations to attack. Non-player bases give larger rewards. Top Weekly ranks are easier to attain with larger rewards. Skirmish is temporarily disabled. Chapter HQ building now displays Chapter flag General bug fixes, performance improvements, and minor tweaks to the gameplay. BALANCE CHANGES Units now spread out more and occupy more space when they fire on a target. This particularly affects vehicles, which occupy more space than infantry. Almost all unit and turret ranges (except the Terminator, the Mortar, and the Whirlwind) extended slightly. Tactical Marines’ Health upgrades more with each level. Terminators’ Health upgrades less with each level. Jetbikes’ Health is increased. Predators, Dreadnoughts and Glaives will stop to fire at any buildings along their path, and they will flatten any rubble in their way. Deployment costs are reduced: Glaives now cost 4 Energy to deploy, Fire Raptors cost 2, and Dreadnoughts are free. Anti-Armour Mine Damage is decreased. The Bloodlust Tactic now affects a smaller area and gives a 50% Damage bonus, but its duration is substantially increased. The Titan is much more powerful. Various other minor balance changes.

Jolemai Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Logged on earlier to a very pretty update. Legion favour is obtained by stomping bases, etc. The Archmagos requires 100 to muster and takes 45 minutes. The level two upgrade requires 1000 favour... They have Servo Skulls that heal nearby things and curse enemy units (but I've yet to see in in action). Went up against a base earlier and got stomped. Think I need to change my tactics slightly following the update. Also, I'm not really seeing any increase in the Titan's power level Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4230184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 As I field mono jetbikes, I'm happy with thier health increase. Sad to see the bloodlust range decreased though, especially in combination with the spreading out of units...

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I played one battle. Where before I would have destroyed it with perhaps two or three jetbike casualties, now I lost All. Of. Them. Again, they've changed the game completely. Ugh. I reached level 50 a couple weeks ago, and was planning to continue until I couldn't upgrade my base or any upgrades any further. Now, not so sure if I'll continue. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302100-drop-assault-out/page/19/#findComment-4230711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it but if I'm honest, boom beach and sw commander are getting more of my attention. Any general tips i should be aware of? Hoard your Machine Spirit to begin with; you're going to need Techmarines to build/upgrade multiple things on your base and this is how you purchase them. Do it as soon as you can. Your vault protects your munitions and power. Personally, I have found to make this a priority upgrade and when I'm offline, I keep my stored supplies just below the vault protection level so it doesn't get stolen... As tempting at it is to upgrade the shiney choices first, don't neglect upgrading your minition dumps and power stations (and eventually the storage options). Also, don't automatically collect your harvested supplies; the vault (also) protects a percentage of that and it's better to leave it there and take it when you need it, then to take it and push your supplies over the vault limit.
