Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

Regarding invasion drops, from last update on 1-Nov:

[..] In fact, until our next event begins, you can even get the Ho-Ri II in invasion drops, which are still paced at the 12 hour refresh rate. [..]

Also, in the same post (and also at login time, the middle one ) there's a banner stating: "2% Drop Rate from Invasion Battles until November 15th at 7PM EST".

When I saw it, I assumed they switched 4* and 2* to put some kind of balance on it...

About the 1*s, I didn't even notice XD, once I got all of my 1*s to 30%, they go all direct to recycle

Wait until you reach Ocica Final. That fight is bullshit when compared to all other fights in Ocica. The boss just farts out many tanks at possibly one gear cost each or less.

Considering 15 days, 10 tries per day, or 150 attempts, assuming my probability math is correct that gives you a ~95% chance of getting the 5*.

(I haven't gotten it yet, and not sure when maintenance ends/etc. but assuming 7 days left, so 70 attempts, so 75%... and yeah, I'm gonna be mighty upset if I get unlucky... )

Just so you guys know, they reopened PoC with today's maintenance.

Switched it to a 2 day cycle instead of a 1 week.
Reasoning being burnout and casual participation.

Am not seeing why a 2 day cycle would help.

It is still the same PoC treadmill, its interval of reward distribution does not change its nature at all.

What it needed was to be consolidated so that the players could achieve the same benefits at less time spent on irrelevant maps and not having to traverse the ladder up to the players cap again and again.

Being a fanatic or casual I do not see factor into it in a positive manner, if at all.

If anything this will burn out the fanatic faster as any lead they built is vaporized on a 2 day cycle instead of 7 days and the casual should not care either way at all, since by definition will not compete for reward spots anyway.

A more meaningful exercise would have been to add 2 day mini-event for Weekends where all could potentially participate and had increased incentive to log in.

Am I missing something, or is there no "reset" option now on it? Free or paid?
(I'm tempted to say I'm missing something, since I'm much lower in the rankings % wise than I usually am)

It would be less grindy if you only go up to your level cap once per 2 days. Really makes me curious how the #1 spot has almost 5 times my score though, unless it simply infinitely loops at the "real" cap.

Yeah Ocica last stage was pretty hard. Lost half of my tanks on that one. But at least it was more interesting.


So far I have not gotten the Invasion girl. If this shitty luck continues I will be left hanging and salty for not getting her.
Hate RnG events like these, that are time limited. Coz there is always people who are just lucky, and those who are not.
Same thing happened last year on Xmass in FKG. Here is a ticket with 50/50 chance for a 6* and a 5* tank. Fucking figures I get the 5* while everyone around was getting lucky with the 6*.
I honestly despise RnG events like these, really really much. No matter the skill, no matter how much work you put into it in the end you end up with salt, while some lucky jock pulls the girl on the first run of the map.


My thoughts on the PoC.... I wonder how much harder it will be to climbg the rewards ladder now. Unless there have been some adjustments made, I fear it might be goodbey to my "under 10%" ranking. Hello shittier rewards, I really didnt miss you at all... Hope that aint true as there goes the only reliable source for getting Candy in a decent quantity.
Though the distribution of the rewards faster is nice. Thought I think two day cycle is a bit to much. Could have been Thur and Sat. ah well.

With no reset option for the PoC, blueprint income will be way down. I get that they didn't cut it from the original oil-to-bp ratio when they cut the oil/XP, but it's a bad look to take the possibility away if we wanted to dedicate the effort to get them. More options good, fewer options bad.

With the shorter cycle, it keeps me from edging past those who can get farther than I can but are not quite as dedicated as I am to do it every day over the longer time frame. Decreased competitiveness is never a good idea...if you want to be near the top you should have to work for it, not just automatically get there because you whaled your way there.

Rewards: 2-10% is now 11 candies per 2 day cycle rather than 40 candies per 7 day cycle. If my sleep-deprived math holds up, we're receiving 1.5 less candies per week at this reward level. (Assume similar numbers for cores, but I never cared enough about them to remember the number.) Would it have killed them to put it at 12 per cycle and let us have a small increase rather than a nerf?

Most of all...why? Did anyone still complain about the grind even after they cut the XP/oil in half?

As for the actual places everyone is getting, I don't know if we should worry too much about that now...do a quick estimation of the totals. For a data point, I'm at 45 and have scored 7%...I've never been below 50 before, and have scored 2% consistently (recently). There was no announcement that it was opened again, and from what they DID announce, randos shouldn't be expecting it to return until the next event starts. Be honest...how many of us here knew it was back before I announced it above?

Uhm, I did. First thing I did every day was try it even if there was no maintenance. The maintenance made it super likely to be back. (admittedly, maintenance is super obvious for me since it's up for a few hours when I get home from work)

I knew it was back because I went to their website and read their blog after the maintenance ended, it is announced in the blog.
