Feedback The Haunting of Nautica

1.- Look this. I bought x5 Umbra loot upgrade. It last only 45 minutes.... last year it last 24 hours.


2.- Look this:
- This reward is from my ship on 1351 server. I haven't got Umbra coins rewards upgrade. I start on 1 - 1 dungeon:

- This reward is from my ship con 85 server. I have x5 Umbra coins rewards upgrade. I start on 8 - 1 dungeon:

And, obviously, ships on 8 - 1 dungeon deals a lot of more damage than 1 - 1.

 

Ahoy cʟαш!

These will be on the water in future phases, not everything can be done on day 1.

Ahoy wil32!

This is not last year dungeon... so "last year" do not apply to it.

Your "x5" do not mean that the umbra coin amount will be multiplied by 5.

This buff is working correctly and simply increase the umbra coins gained by a small amount.

Do not compare this one to the previous year as in this dungeon you DO NOT need Umbra coins for the event market (apart from 1 item).

@Edit

Additionally:

"1-1" stands for DIFFICULTY:1 STAGE: 1
"8-1" stands for DIFFICULTY:8 STAGE 1

That mean the coins in stage 1 will be very similar even if HP has been increased times X (within difficulty 8).

Hi,
1.- The point is "same rewards with and without umbra multiplier". Like you saw in the logbook. And, the answer was about the buff duration.
2.- So, again: My effort is not rewarded. Difficulty 8 Stage 1 it giving same rewards than Difficulty 1 Stage 1. And there is my question: Why the rewards are similar if the difficult is higher? That is I can't understand.

Thanks.

 

Thank you I'll see if I can manage the "safe spots", and sorry about the multiple posts. Thanks for the tips! (I clicked reply on the tips you gave and it set up another text box - I should have edited the post above - still feeling my way here after coming back to SF a few months back - sorry!)
EDIT: Is this quest required to finish the event? Cuz if so, I am stuck. I tried what you said but sank before I could even reach the "safe" spots. Also, where is this dungeon everyone is talking about - not available until the impossible quest is completed? I saw your skull and cross bones btw, no wonder you are able to pass with all your hitpoints. Not me

 

The Dragonfires normally shoot one at a time. In this mini-game, it shoots 6 at a time, similar to the Castle that increases how many you can fire at a time (I don't have the castle, so didn't notice the 6 on the icon at first).

The way I finished the game was to go in with as much defence as possible including commonwealth guardian, gems for dodge and damage reduction on both ship and pet, Ribs, Lions Bulwark, regular and super armour plates, etc. I started with windstorms. Moving counter clockwise around the inner edge of the big ring (careful when it shrinks) and used pumpkin power to stay in the safe space between the damage rings while I shot the creepers. Focus more on staying safe than shooting. As soon as my ship HP was low, I stopped shooting and focused on avoiding damage and repairing back up before resuming shooting. I left one last creeper at almost finished and repaired back up to full again, then did the last shot on the last creeper and then started moving in towards Gantril and start shooting it. as I got closer I turned off windstorms and got into the 'safe' area Rymar showed above. once in range for the dragonfire 2s, I started shooting them too. Even with all this I was down to almost sunk when I sunk the boss.

Note: I went around that circle several times.

You have to finish the quest for this to continue. There are several quests after it. The daily quests are 'The Truth' and 'Seagull Collector' from the two different quest givers. I recall them being the last two I did yesterday (I can't confirm because neither shows in my quest history, because that feature is broken).

I hope that helps.

 

Thanks, I will try as you say, but I don't think my hitpoints will hold out.

EDIT: You didn't mention that when you shoot the last creeper, Gantril starts shooting you even though you can't see him (not fair, btw - unlimited range? As if it's not hard enough). I was doing good on the outside edge until dummy started shooting me before I could get into range, so sunk again. About 10 tries now. Ugh, I think they should change the name of the event to "The Annoying Gantril Sink Fest".

EDIT: EUREKA! I finally got through on the 11th try. Thank you Badyn for your invaluable advice, it really helped !

 

Do any of event npcs/sub gives out designs? coz I see msg on my game play players loot new design pale maiden!

 

For me, I have 770k VP and 1.2m HP, not a lot compared to many. Hmm, I'm not sure if you can go in with the Light of Tortuga and have an additional 1m HP. I didn't try that.

 

I made it, thanks to you mate! (Sorry about the typo in the previous post, it won't let me change it).

 

Ahoy wil32!

To put it into an example. Note: These are MADE UP numbers used only for this example.

1x Buff provide 5% more Umbra Coins
...
...
...
5x Buff provide 50% more Umbra Coins

If you drop 1 coin from an NPC then:

1 + 50% (0.5) = 1.5 ~ 1 within the game
4 (drop from higher wave) +50% (2) = 6 within the game

Everything works as intended. There is nothing wrong with the buff or the amount of Umbra Coins dropped by NPCs with or without the buff.

The rewards are similar because these have been designed this way.

Ahoy Tergrinder!

Yes, this quest won't let you move forward within the quest line if you do not complete it.

Ahoy cʟαш!

The game is full of secrets

Ahoy Bawdyn!

Everyone within the Phantom Labirynth are equal there is no need for adjustements on any of the ships apart from some action items.

You all have same HP, same speed.

Rymar

 

This is further evidence of Bigpoint's lack of concern, especially for new players. Putting such a huge hurdle into an event's quest line is a way to punish them.

 

I have a quest to I pick it up in the dungeon map and the objective is to successfully finish the Abyss of Shadows, however this is an endless map? so how to I successfully complete it?

Mini x

 

Ahoy MiniMeanie!

Did you try to defeat the boss and use the "leave portal"? That's how I got mine 1/5

Rymar

 

No didn't try that, will try now, thanks.

Mini x

Well that didn't work, killed the boss on 5.1, left via the purple portal, and then left the dungeon. Still on 0/1.

 

The FAQ says we need to use the Shadow Guide to get into the Abyss of Shadow. Is that supposed to be the Dungeon Guide? Is this map(s) the only source of the Cursed Souls we need for the event completion?

Also, the event completion says we have to do the Night of the Crows group map. This is not available and the FAQ doesn't say when it will be... unless that is what it means by 'Scary Crow' on the 29th.

I wish the FAQ and the names of things would agree. There are often different names for these maps in different places. This causes unnecessary confusion and a lot of questions in the forum.

 

Ok finally worked it out lol kill the boss go to the next level then find the purple portal.

 

Is not any more, found it

 

Hi Rymar, how exactly Headhunters ranking works? How we gain that points?

 

Ahoy Bawdyn!

Shadow Guide = Dungeon Guide

Yes, this dungeon is the only place where you can obtain Cursed Souls.

Ahoy poison3!

This ranking tracks your progress witihn the dungeon.

Rymar

 

Ok but points are from bosses, waves or what? lvl of difficulty also count? Bsc i die on wave 8 after 6 and still took some points
