Mooing cat was alright but I couldn't understand him alot time and had to play it over and over to catch what he was saying, Thank for the good gammar and information..👌😊

[@vasiliiivanov4608]

Great video as usual Uber, always getting the best info and strategies from you ❤

[@phillycatlady]

You are SO clear and concise!

[@Eztoez]

Totally. No disrespect to Mooing Cat but his videos are way too long

[@phillycatlady]

@@Eztoez he seems to have disappeared. @uber do you know what’s up with him?

[@celia-ov6rm]

Exactly. English is my 3rd idiom and I got everything clearly!

[@Raqiza]

I must say that even though I would appreciate new event mechanics, the work that the design team had done for this event is spectacular. I just love the card designs.

[@Shineinpoverty]

Hey man, thanks for the guide. I had still many questions when I watched the only other man who does foe guides. This helped me a lot. I lost all the battles the first time and did not even understood why. This stuff is not very easy for people who never played this game before or card games...

[@davidbarry6900]

Awesome guide, thank you. Important Caveat about the Mini Challenge quest requirements (including GE, 24 hour productions, etc.): it will very likely change a fair bit, and hopefully be significantly easier on the live servers than on Beta. Also, unlike previous events, it is quite likely that we will have different quests and rewards for the two Mini Challenges. (In most other events so far, the Mini Challenge quests were all the same within the event.)

[@TheBoneVampire]

Thanks for posting this! I didn’t see an announcement for this event even on the message board. Surely I just missed it.

You just get double the progress.

[@vacy_x]

I loved talking to u in dc, great person!

[@LeonyBerger]

I was a bit surprised that in the German server you didn't have to wait 8 hours per ticket but instead you had to wait 10 hours per ticket - did you know that? That had a huge impact on the possibility of getting the event building. the rival challenges had to be done and finally some difficult decks

[@UBERnerd14]

Yeah, it was a rebalance from Beta to live servers. However, with the tickets added to the grand prizes, I actually thought it was a bit more helpful - more tickets when you need them, rather on days with bad daily specials :)

[@ozijak]

Awesome summary as always Uber :) Thank you very much for these, deadset legend.

[@mowens1814]

Thanks for the great tutorial and guidance! One comment regarding redraw (I don't think it was mentioned in your video, but if so I obviously missed it). Given redrawing from the initial redraw selection is more costly, it makes sense to typically select and redraw again. But I had to wonder what do you get for the extra coins using redraw from redraw...apparently it will do the next redraw only from the remaining card deck (i.e. less those in the original redraw selection). Realized that when I was down to 5 cards left and wanted to get a specific one, selecting and redrawing again kept giving me anything but the specific card I was looking for. So, in the case where you are down to 6 cards or less, it might well be more economical to just spend the 10 coins vs 5 coins since you will get 3 new cards. And when down to 7-8 cards it might make sense as well.

[@TheTimer1337]

great guide mate, with mooing retired you're the go-to guy :)

[@scottymeffz5025]

Good stuff, thanks :)

[@davidbarry6900]

Significant event rebalancing (since Beta) announced today. Summary: 1. more Coins from quests and daily logins; 12k total now 2. Tickets now only generate every 10 hours instead of 8, so more relaxed but maybe fewer tickets overall? 3. Grand prize list, daily specials, and minigame rewards changed; more boost potions 4. Rival rewards adjusted (this implies the quests are the same?) 5. Gold League reward (Woodland Wager Retreat) now gives a QI boost 6. Bastion Gatehouse changed, gives new different reward instead of fragments for Lilac/Trio buildings 7. Lilac Garden, Ethereal Fountain and Fromage Village are now all 10-day LIMITED buildings at L2, and will give QI boosts. When expired, they become L1 (no boosts). Only L2 will appear as prizes in the event. The Event support page which lists the Event reward buildings will be updated soon. Thoughts: a. competition for Gold League will be even more fierce. b. Lilac Garden, Etherial Fountain, and Fromage are now much better prizes, but One-shots, and there does not appear to be any way to get more AFTER the event. Place a few at the start of each QI session, delete when QI ends? c. gameplay strategies will need to be adjusted, unless we get more tickets from some other source. Safer to spend a few more Coins early on though.

[@UBERnerd14]

No real change in strategy. Still save tickets for DS you want, and otherwise do mostly easier decks.

[@davidbarry6900]

@@UBERnerd14 As best I can tell, Easy games are not a safe route to get a fully leveled Sanctuary. Easy games give 20 Progress (as per comments on the Beta forums). I estimate that you can get 100 free tickets total in the event: 4 to start, 52 generated (one per 10 hours), 3 from milestone, 2 from grand prizes, 8 from Mini Challenges, 30-ish from quest rewards (just a guess until we see the daily quests), and another one or two from Incidents. [Inno could completely change this schedule of course.] 100 minigames (assuming you have enough game time to use ALL your tickets) => 2000 Progress (assuming you WIN all your games). So technically, if EVERYTHING goes right, you could get a Sanctuary maxed - but you won't get the later golden upgrades, and many players will miss even the 2000 grand prize progress. On top of this, some extra progress is possible from the "Grand League" special card, although you will miss out on a card that damages the boss (or will have to pay extra Coins to buy them). Let's assume that you can use the Grand League special in 10% or 10 games (you won't see it every time, even with maxed Negotiate boost, and will usually NOT see it early on with low Negotiate). That's +150 progress. It looks like people are going to have to play quite a few HARD (or perhaps Medium?) minigames to get more grand prize progress, especially now that the total Coins have been increased. (League progress is a different calculation.) Are there any other ways of getting more grand prize progress, without simply buying more Tickets (and possibly Coins) with diamonds?

[@davidbarry6900]

@@UBERnerd14 FYI, excluding incidents and Challenges, you can now earn 12k Coins for free. This works out at 95 EASY games and only 5 HARD games, if you conservatively estimate 100 Coins for easy and 500 Coins for Hard games (and if we only get 100-ish tickets). If you find more Coins from incidents or can win games spending fewer coins, that's great, and you'll be able to play a FEW more Hard games. Be careful not to overspend by jumping into too many hard games though.

[@tomasstehlik8053]

It's correct, thanks..must have been drunk or something, now is all good again. Was very angry for a while..😂 Keep doing a great job.

[@marvelek1393]

so easy games are better for league points, right?

[@Shineinpoverty]

So, I grasped the concept, but so far I lost all medium matches. What can I do there, should I literally redraw till I get the perfect card to win them too?

[@bombosef8779]

@ubernerd14 Any ideas why I would be further in progress but my friend has more league points than me and they are way behind me in the progress bar?

[@UBERnerd14]

Probably depends on how they've been playing their decks, maybe buying more league cards?

[@fernpatchdawg9416]

Absolutely hated this mini game during Halloween. Same still applies.

[@thatoneguyseven]

Thanks for the vid!

[@asktheraccoon]

wait... is it another of those events where you need to save quests for when you have a daily you like incoming ? Or can you just blitz the main line on day one ?

[@evileye6459]

Good and informative video...however, when is our coliseum is actually good guide XD

[@tim-johnpebeahsy2279]

I have this on my tablet...i can play the regular game but it won't let me play the new mini game I've been trying for 2 days now and every time I click on it it keeps me right out like I said I'm able to play the other regular game but not the mini game

[@UBERnerd14]

Make sure the app is updated to the most recent version

[@RJDarvon]

Progress seems to be a real problem; the easy minigame only yields 20 progress per game; at three games per day that's well short of the 2000 for the main building (which is my goal). I know the video says skip the medium decks, but do they give more enough progress to make them worth it?

[@UBERnerd14]

They do not. They end up costing more per progress.

[@RJDarvon]

@@UBERnerd14 - So the hard game is must-way-to-go if one is after progress?

[@MasterDrywalker]

Is there a list somewhere of all the daily special rewards for this event?

[@UBERnerd14]

I talk about most of the interesting ones in the video, but no "official" list yet of all the potential options for live servers.

[@tomasstehlik8053]

Hi Uber, I don't know, if it's a bug, or only in some specific worlds, but I (playing us, Greifental can't redraw a card without the original dissappearing from the deck. Super annoying..any advice? Great video as always..

[@UBERnerd14]

Not a bug. When you redraw, the original won't appear as a choice. It's not removed from the deck though. Once you choose a card, the original can now appear as a redraw option.

[@RJDarvon]

This will be the first event where I'll have to pay cash to max the main building; completing the questline, winning every available card game, getting about 1/2-way through the Rival challenges just didn't provide the 2000 progress needed.

[@UBERnerd14]

What difficulty of games were you playing?

[@RJDarvon]

@@UBERnerd14 - Easy, because from what I've been told here (and elsewhere) the card games 'pay out' the same amount of progress regardless of difficulty (I also tried a hard game and received only 20 progress as well).

[@UBERnerd14]

Um, no. They do not give the same progress. Hard games give a minimum of 35. I'd recommend playing all your remaining games as hard games, and you might get closer. Try to buy the grand prize progress cards if possible.

[@Thanos_pappas]

Are there going to be Baron challenges in this event?

[@UBERnerd14]

Yes, see the section about mini challenges

Excellent video. Clear, concise, to the point. FYI "Van Gough" is NOT pronounced "Van Go". I'm married to a Dutch lady; I'm American born. It's correctly pronounced "Von Kchoch". The first and last parts of the name are guttural, as if you're trying to bring up phlegm from your throat.

the new 4x2 buildings are not chained but standalone. They have also been completely reworked between Beta and Live; and are now 10-day limited buildings. Very interesting, but will require more thought about if and when to use them.

[@davidbarry6900]

@@hr.m885 We don't yet know what the new L2 building stats are, but they will include QI boosts. When the new 4x2 buildings "expire" after 10 days, they will revert to being level 1, which will likely be similar to the L1 stats on Beta (no QI boosts)

So it’s the Halloween event mini game

[@UBERnerd14]

A little bit different... for example, don't hit 0 health when killing the boss, in this event you lose :)

[@davidbarry6900]

It's a very similar minigame, but only 8 enemy cards instead of 11, and different special cards. The new "Negotiation" booster is also different. Finally in the Halloween event you could only play up to 3 minigames per day (unless paying diamonds), and had to try optimize which deck to play against, depending on in which suit of cards your deck was strongest. That aspect is completely different now.

[@ohdeergod]

Its just a re-skinned version of the Halloween game. So if you were good at that, you should be good at this :)

[@davidbarry6900]

There are quite a few changes between the Halloween minigame and the History card game. That said, if you LIKED the Halloween game, you'll very likely enjoy the History event too.
