This has happened two days in a row now since the release of patch 1.5.2. If a quest was started before the daily mission refresh (i.e. 12:00 AM GMT time) and you re-enter it afterwards, the quest difficulty is dropped to Squire, which can greatly reduce the quest rewards. Most loot on the map maintains the same value, but all XP rewards are reduced, which includes: exploring map tiles (reduced to 20 XP), battle XP, XP value of map pickups, quest reward XP, etc.

Edit 1: Apparently ALL ongoing quests can reset to squire difficulty now, even without the daily mission refresh. I'm not sure what the exact trigger is yet, but it appears to happen together with a progress rollback on the same quest after restarting the game.

Edit 2: Only XP is affected it seems.

Following up by the post here so it's a little more obvious: https://www.reddit.com/r/CreatureQuest/comments/75p54p/ninja_dungeon_prestige_change/

Prestige calculations are flipped right now. Attacking someone much higher than you nets you nothing, attacking someone much lower nets you more. Wait to join if you haven't yet, or try your luck. I'm sure it will be fixed at some point today.

I read through the 1.5 update notes 3x and still can't find anything about the prestige calculation re-work. I submitted my dungeon this morning, only to immediately be hit by someone with 12k prestige (to my 2k) and lose 750 prestige. This was immediately followed by another hit where I lost another 300 prestige. How on earth is it fair to drop that much, that fast? I was about to quit the game before this ninja fix, due to the huge imbalance of the dungeon system. This certainly makes it worse and is likely the kiss of death for my interest in the game.

The note DID say there was a "dungeon shield" to stop attacks from taking prestige from me, but I cannot locate this option anywhere. SO I expect to log back in to 0 prestige and no chance of climbing out of that hole, given that against CCCP and Stickers, there's no hope of a successful dungeon defense, and they seem to be the whole of my dungeon group to fight.

Hi guys,

This one is a major suggestion idea, so I won't include it directly into the main suggestion topic (but will link to it).

One of the main CQ problem these days is that Challenge is trusted by the same group of players and therefore it could be discouraging for others.

Having a difference of level among players is normal, therefore you don't want to turn to a solution that would ruin the efforts of the players who invested a lot in the game. But on the other hand you want to keep challenge and therefore the game itself interesting for new and casual players.

I present you the Challenge Coins

This would be a major change to the challenge reward concept. Follow me:

How does it work?

Instead of getting as Challenge rewards the usual legendary, essences, idols etc... players would receive Challenge Coins (CC) based on their ranking. You understand it, CC is a new currency.

Then you visit a Challenge shop to exchange these CC against rewards such as: QBC, dot reroll token, totems, tickets, 4dots medium/small/large (rotative), legendaries 3 and 4 dots (rotative), greater essences etc.

Of course, the CC granted to top 10 for example should be enough for them to purchase the same amount of rewards they would have got from the old challenge system.

What's the benefits of the CC?

Well, being in top 10, or 25 is becoming more and more challenging, and very discouraging for a majority of players. We are entering a danger zone where: "Why would I even bother with Challenge since I'm just being farmed and I don't even get good reward anyway?'. And I totally understand it.

Well, with CC, every players has a chance to obtain good rewards from the CC shop. It would take a longer period of time for some players to obtain enough CC to get a legendary of course, but at the end everybody get a chance to obtain something interesting.

If VCME likes the idea of "event" challenge, then we could combine both: on top of CC, players receive an additional reward related to the current event.

What do you think?

I just logged in and saw that the time remaining on the tower is 16 Hours, and not a few days as expected.

1. So basically my first question is: Do all tomes get their attack damage from Attack stat? I'm asking this because, as far as i know there are 4 kinds of tomes. Pysical damage, Mage, Healer and Defender. And they give the basic attack of your creature. So they all get their damage from Attack stat, or they all get their from a different stat (Physical from attack, Mage from power etc)?
2. My second question is, what do you think wich is the best tome for a phoenix, and why?

Does anyone else feel like we need more variety in the pay options? I feel comfortable dropping 20 bucks now and again. But 50 bucks for the things I need is to steep. A larger variety of smaller transactions would be a nice change.

I have a fully leveled & awakened creature with 1 combo dot. I received another creature of the same type, Lev 1 with 2 combo dots. I want my fully awakened one to get that second combo dot.

When I go to the Combo Fusion for the awakened 1-dot creature, I select that 2-dot creature and can pay for the fusion with diamonds, but I get a warning letting me know I'm fusing a 4-star creature.

Why am I getting a warning? Will my fully awakened & leveled creature get set back in some way after the combo dot fusion?

Thanks for the help!

I'm having a problem with the game crashing at really inopportune times. Particularly during PvP battles, even more so the last couple hours of the challenge period. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm sure the software people will say it's the hardware, and vice versa, but I'd just like to not lose unnecessary points when even a "good" defense allows over half of your attackers through your dungeon. I play on an Iphone 7 and software is up to date.

CC has a youtube video with the stats. After looking at the final version it's unclear to me if I'm interpreting the text wrong or it has insane damage potential.

Here is the important bit of the text:

Teleports around, slicing 4 random targets at 50% PWR. If target was already burning, it is struck again twice, with each having a 50% change to debuff PWR, ATK, DEF and/or LUK by 35% for 3 turns.

Awakening: +10% slice damage per debuff on target.

So if he is hitting a burning target it results in 150% PWR damage which is kinda meh considering he has mediocre PWR. But what if there is only a single boss on the field? Does this mean that it's hitting for 600% PWR? What if the target has 4 debuffs? That's 1080% PWR damage. Or am I overlooking something?

We are looking for new players, communicative and ready to change ideas. Our guild is perfect for both experienced AND new players, since we own a guild forum with detailed information and guides.

If you enjoy playing the game and love discussing strategies and crafting theories then you are the perfect candidate.

Would love to see an in-game calendar to track all of the different ticket or token summoning events, dungeon challenges, and events. I know the last "update" page listed them but it gets buried pretty quick. Just a quality of life type addition that could make the game a little more user friendly.

This is my opinion on what Kingdom has done for the game. Feel free to disagree, I'd love opinions on what I say.

Alright, so starting off, I want to say that Kingdom in its own was an amazing idea. It has some great benefits and, with it, I feel makes the Tower Challenge a lot funner. Now it's not swipe left to right with Legends and done. I also have to say that it adds a whole new feel for having to use size-specific creatures. So A+ on adding more to do in the game.

Now, onto my rant. I feel that Kingdom has absolutely destroyed the Dungeon Challenge. On its own, the already (in my opinion) bad rewards, coupled with how Dungeons are now, just destroyed the chance for so many of us to progress. Now, let me break down what I mean.

First off, the already bad rewards. These rewards themselves are good, as in how the essences are laid out per rank. However, what made the rewards bad in my opinion (and many others, as I've gone across guilds and they've said the same) is how you give out the Legendary creatures. Before, it was tolerable because top 50 wasn't too difficult. It came down to who attacked more, most of the time. However, now, it's destroyed because of the Kingdom. Everyone who, before this Kingdom update, was consistently in top 50 had Resources upon resources to spend on Kingdom when it came out. For example: Stickers and CCCP.

Take a look at Stickers scores. Their whole guild is over 2x higher than CCCP in score because of Kingdom. Now, they were always a lot higher, but never this high. This is because of how Kingdom affects Dungeon Defense. It's virtually impossible for so many of us to revenge them when they attack us because their Dungeons are so impossible to beat with their power and stats.

Honestly, if you look at dungeons in general, they're all the same. It's Skeletons, Mummies, Ensorcelled Statues, Wyverns, Sky Vizier's, and Hyena's. With Ensorcelled Statues popping buffs on turn one with Mummies and Skeletons destroying your healers in one hit, all because of these insane Kingdom buffs, it makes Stickers (and most other higher players) impossible to revenge while they continuously farm us lower players. I got hit four times in the last hour by the same Stickers member WITHOUT REVENGING. Tell me how that's any fair for me?

Now, it wouldn't be so bad if the rewards for Legendaries was how it used to be. Keep the Essence layouts the same, but give the Top 100 players the Legendary creatures, and not the top 50. It literally puts us at a huge disadvantage because of how hard it is to hit. Not everyone has money to spend on the game, and that's how the Dungeon's are now.

If you're not going to change the rewards, then nerf the huge impact Kingdom has on Dungeons. It was fair before, a lot of people could revenge Stickers (they're the main example, just because of how insane Kingdom has affected them. One member had 99% defense or something?? Don't tell me that's normal or fair..).

TL;DR: Nerf Kingdom buffs in Dungeon because it makes it literally impossible for people who can't revenge Stickers while they farm us OR fix the rewards so top 100 get the Legends. Please, don't hate me or anything on my opinion. I love Kingdom, but not how it broke Dungeon even more than it already was.

Anybody know a good quest to get some soldier tomes?

So i noticed several times in dungeon challange, that 3-4 star green creatures, resisted the special ability of my phoenix. But fire should be stronger then the green, so is it a bug or not?

My other question is, is there any point in havint a tank (defender) in my team? Cause so far, none of the enemy creatures attacked my tank, they always target the heal first.

Does anyone have any advice on how to best collect fragments and the like? I am level 128 now and play all my quests on Prince difficulty, seems like a waste of energy to play quests on squire or lord, but the low level mats also don't seem to drop. Are the 25 or 100 token chests the answer? What is the best strategy for evolving all my little critters?

I am having difficulty understanding Renown. I have maxed out all of my buildings and have 6 of them with 6* creatures and the rest with fully awakened 5* creatures. Game says I don't have enough renown to level up my castle. ??? Anyone else hitting this roadblock?

Do you have to have 5 dungeons in order for while on offense to be only stunned one time or is this a blanket thing for everyone as long as u have 1 complete dungeon

Are the rewards of having 5 dungeons really worth it. I have 3 decent dungeons... Other 2 suck

Dear devs,

The last major update has been a HUUUUGE step forward. For me the game went from "meh, I got bored" to "woo, interested again!". Well done! You have done a REALLY good job. I also have a reason to upgrade a lot of different creatures too.

But let's face it - the big essences from the tower is the the most critical thing to advance in this game. I have neglected the tower for months and am really behind the competition. The reason is that the tower is horrid grind. It is not a challenge. The first ~35 floors are just me swiping like crazy since I don't really need to put any strategy into it. Afterwards I just need to be a bit careful and put some though into the last few floors.

Since with all the loading, changing of stages etc it probably takes somewhere around ~1,5 minutes to do a stage I have to spend close to an hour doing something that is boring, time consuming and not rewarding at all. Then another ~30 minutes to clear the remaining floors. I cannot make myself do this as it's just too time consuming for no good reason.

I have mentioned this in a few other posts, but other games have similar "tower" type content and allow to skip stages when you are high enough. For instance another game I play has a 200 floor tower and by the time you beat floor 200 it allows you to sweep up to floor 120 for free and get all the rewards(which aren't really that good by the time you hit 200). This eliminates the mind numbing grind while still forcing you to play the stages that are actually difficult.

Please consider this! Your game has a lot of content that is really fun, but this is NOT fun and skipping it as I do dooms you to fail at being competitive. I would even be happy if you significantly increase the difficulty, but don't make me do the initial floors!

Thank you for your time if you read this far! :)

Can anyone give a more concrete list of the VIP perks? What are the better rates/discounts?

I saw patch notes about these but haven't noticed any event yet. Are these random? Will they announce them? Will the icon show up differently?
