Biggest mistake was I played for records even on days 2 and 3. Complete waste of time and gold really, I think only 1 record stayed from that time. The 1 record too was because of a technical detail. Apparently the "Easy" difficulty appears when the record holder lost very few troops. I lost very few troops in a pretty hard battle using shooters and because my trees didn't die. Therefore, nobody was allowed to 0.2 it and nobody succeeded in doing 0.7. If only 0.7 was allowed this event 90% of my recs from days 2 and 3 would have remained. Luckily I had some time near end of day 4, otherwise only 5 or 6 recs would have remained.
Sigh... next time to avoid this 0.2 ridiculousness please just let us directly choose the number of troops we want to face and hide the current record. |

Even i thought of doing the same but i wasn't sure about my skills so played safely till day 3 and took risk on day 4...I thought of keeping a good balance between my wins and records and that's what happened...Everything went according to the plan...My main objective was to get 55 wins at any cost for those +8 parts. |
I know this is nothing for other factions but at least I have the highest number of records among lev 15 elves :D
How do you know this? |
Will there be another event for the imperial helmet? I'm at 73 parts
Yes, this is event number 2 in the series of 3. :) |
Total combats: 72
Victories: 59
Active records: 9
Played almost entire event as classic barb.
Made some errors, especially thinking i had consumed potion of skill when I hadn't.
Had a good push day 4, held 12 records before the end. |

Well I actually didn't count explicitly but just by refreshing list several times I don't see anyone's name repeating that many times. A lot of players are holding a few records among elves it seems. Among players who hold at least one record, I think the mean would be 3 records. |
I can understand admin's motive for the “0.2”, it provide an easy mode, make most players (such as lawton) can enjoy the event after the first day. but the mechanism makes it nearly impossible to hold a record, therefore drive a competition of “who plays nearest to the event end and 0.2 others”, which is definitely not admin's origin will.
I suggest to change it a little, players can fight the with no increasing and get some hg points as well as fulfill quests, but can not break record in this way. in detail, it can be set as:
20% up for 0.8 hg
10% up for 0.4 hg
0 up for 0.3 hg and no record. |
for RevolutionRebel:
There are a couple of things which can be done. One is what you said plus the option of -x% with 0.2 hg and no record. Not sure what x will be but the point is it should be considerably less than current record.
The other is to change the 20% up completely, instead, you can choose what percent up you want. The reason is, if you want to set records on the early days then you need to play the same battles say 5 times to get to a record level difficulty. This is a huge waste of time and and again forces players to play the event on the last day if they want to save attempts which shouldn't be the case. In this case, the minimum up can be 3-5% actually, because record setter has freedom of how many enemy troops they wanna take on. This means they are doing the best they can and someone doing 5% more is more than sufficient to beat a record. Note that there would be no 2% back and forth games here which just waste time. |
As soon as the final changes were made to the table of records, the hunting season could be officially considered closed. But the most interesting things did not end there. Even the most inveterate hunters did not like the process of hunting, many of them were eagerly awaiting this moment. When it was possible to calmly lay aside worn bows and empty quivers and for a mug of ale to indulge in an atmosphere of universal fun, full of unprecedented boasting and unheard stories.
Heroes, the Hunters Guild announces the closure of the next hunting season and proudly sums up its results. For 4 days the hunters spent about 400,000 fights and performed about 53,000 tasks. According to the results of the hunting season, there are about 30,000 final records set by 5,511 heroes!
Every hero who has established at least one record was awarded:
1) points of the Guild of Hunters - 3 points for each record;
2) gold - 100 * [combat level] for each record;
3) a unique hunting artifact, the strength of which depends on the number of established records;
4) an achievement in the information about the character.
And the best of the best, who managed to set 10 records or more, is given an artifact of increased strength from the sets of the Master-hunter, the Great Hunter or St. John's wort. One artifact for every 10 records. The belonging of the obtained artifact to one or another set depends on the level of the hero's hunter's guild. |

| High Daggers might be rare.. seems like you need quite a few records for high dura. |
| I had 29 dura for 19 records so yeah, you'd need quite a lot for 40 dura. |
I ended up with:
Total combats: 72
Victories: 56
Quests completed: 12
Active records: 0
But for the first time of an event I have gotten nothing, not a low durability artifact, and not even any gold, what gives? |

You get gold at the end of the event only if the event does not pay itself already.
Here you had ~300 per win + ~3k per quest + ~1k5 per record. |
