As it stands, the purges are unplayable on the official servers.
And I’m talking about a server where about 5 people were online (out of 40).
I’ll take it in order:
First problem - the “place a mercenary banner” challenge - the banners are still bugged (which doesn’t surprise me, after all it’s just a major feature of the last update and you only had 3 months to fix it). It just can’t be placed until the player relogs.
Second problem - the “free the prisoner from the cage” challenge. This should have been a simple thing - just place the treasure chest, put one gold in it and stop the tier1 purge …
I knew the attack would be a lot of weak thralls , I tried a few purges in our base but what followed I really didn’t expect - a massive wave of enemies much stronger than usual - I think the dozen thralls sitting in our tavern added to our “defense” count …
third problem - FC’s statement that demolishers “have more dmg than we wanted” is a joke - a t1 demolisher destroys several t3 foundations on hit
fourth problem - there was a 5 minute pause between the first and second wave of attack , the server didn’t keep up , after the second wave I waited 20 minutes and nothing , then I grabbed the money from the coffers and after a while the purge ended
TLDR - the purges are pretty buggy , the servers are (un)handling them even worse than the last update , they don’t account for new mechanics ( surprisingly) etc …
either remove them from the challenges or increase the rewards to make it worth the trouble
edit - The changes to the combat system are hell , when the second hit doesn’t go in the air behind the opponent (because I can’t change the direction of the attack) I feel the urge to open champagne to celebrate
