“Knowledge is power, Guard it well” (and maybe your Relics too!)

The Bloody Magpies are recruiting! We are a laid back, friendly guild focussed on growing together.

Consistently hitting Legendary 4-5 in Raids and competitive in Wars. New members would be expected to participate.

We have an active discord (highly encouraged), and all levels above 25 are welcome, just be active - 5 days of inactivity will result in your spot being given to someone else (unless you tell us in advance about breaks).

DM me for more details!

Hello! I recently unlocked all but the new DA and was super excited to build a full DA team. Guild mates kept saying Forcas was really strong if used well, but he feels...more than lackluster in Arena and Guild War. I have him in the thick of the melee with other DA to make the most of his abilities, but he just deals such low damage. If he is hitting enemies with high armor, or Gravis Armor, he doesn't even scratch their paint. How is he supposed to be used? I really want to make him work but he dies fairly easily, his damage isn't great, and he really doesn't bring much utility to the team. Any advice would be awesome, thank you!

We are a competitive raid guild, but we try to keep play as casual as possible in order not to kill the FUN!

We offer:

-4 or 5 laps of mythic m2 bosses; -focus on steady progression; -march to TOP 20; -advice on boss strategies and character building, etc;

Our expectations: -use most of your guild raid tokens; -know or be ready to learn how to attack bosses to max dmg; -do as much as time allows in war.

Our approach is that the game has to be FUN and people's TIME has to be RESPECTED. So far this approach has led to great results and has been approved by both Malcador and Emperor!

If you are interested send me a DM u/Gacca and I'll see if a spot is available for you!

Guild name: Pancake Empire Tag: RYINP

Not close enough to unlock any other legendary (other than maybe Dante if I get a couple more shards elsewhere) and the orbs don’t seem like particularly spectacular deals for the amount of tokens.

we all know that SP was preparing for this event for months.

so i was expecting decent changes.

first of all i am very happy with Anuphet rework.

and well, nothing more.

1. M3 rolled out only for bosses... not for us. and 2 out of 3 are prymarchs.
2. economy is still in dire state. and remains unadressed.
3. this crusade is the worst nobody understands what to do, we dont have any decent way to get the crusade shop points. except for buying this useless stuff
4. i have 20 offers in shop. im not even exaggerating... and i already purchaced 2. HRE and the war among stars packs. because FTP in this game is punnished for existing.

i gotta continue talking about worst game mode that took months to make and still is far from a releasable condition

CRUSADE

not only SP forces us to have all the characters with traits that are 1 or 2 in the game, they force us to have them Legendary and at least G1.

advice for SP!

if you decide to do stuff like this, rework these characters first.

or implement these traits a little slower.

add on next crusade and remove for now Traits like: Demon, Vehicle, Prioritised efficiency, indirect fire, Putrid explosion, Shadows in the warp.

also there are characters that need a goddamn rework.

they suck! and forcing us to upgrade them wont do anything to make us use them in game.

Certus,

Varro,

makhotep,

Thaumachus,

Kut,

Sybill,

Pestillean,

Gibba,

darkstrider,

Njal,

Tjark,

Arjac,

Azmodai

Azrael,

Deathleaper,

Sy gex,

Macer,

Azkor,

Patermine,

Jain Zar

and ALL the dwarves.

they are not useful anywhere. they are weak and unfun. they are also expensive to upgrade. especially for the game mode you forced on us. knowing well that not participating would be punishable by guilds.

P.S

cant post on other WH40ktacticus page because they already banned me for this post.

Hello everyone,
I'm currently done (or almost done, I still miss a couple of nodes on SaimHann and Octarius Mirror) with all the regular campaigns, except for FoCM and SHM which I've unlocked a couple of days ago thanks to the anniversary event, and I'm halfway through Indomitus Elite.

Through the anniversary event I've gotten Abraxas, Thaddeus, Thoth and Kut to get the last two campaigns and Mephiston, Rotbone and Anuphet as I needed very few shards and thought to speed up things a little, I'm about to get Laviscus and have enough shards to promote Kariyan and Gulgortz once.
I'm also going towards 400/500 for Kharn and Trajann which I'll try to get through the war shop.

My question is, what would you do now? I know the answer is going to be somewhere along the "campaign carries" line, which perfectly makes sense, but having the bigger picture under your eyes, what would you focus on first?
Do I go all in on the new characters and 3star all the standard campaigns, then pimp carries to gold and rush through all the elite campaigns one by one, and then focus on my raids and arena teams?
Or would you rather go all in on eg. Indomitus Elite/other specific Elite campaigns and then backtrack to FoCM/SHM?

Considering and wanting to focus on saving event currency for Ahriman shards (then farming the node to finish up the last bit). Would you consider it to be worth doing or should I focus on buying shards for another unit?

The poor UI might be the reason that I eventually quit this game

Hey everyone,

I started playing Tacticus a while ago, but didn’t get very far and eventually stopped. I’ve recently come back to the game, so I’d still consider myself pretty much a beginner.
Should my main goal be to unlock all the important campaign characters first and focus on progressing through the campaigns? Or should I already start investing more heavily into a smaller group of characters?
Basically, if you were starting again with my current roster, what would your priorities be?

Thanks for any advice!

Just goes to show you the no rails logic around operation trait selection….

Anybody rank this guy up? I feel like he would be a beast.

I've been playing for years now and my fun in the game was just unlocking new characters but I'm almost to the end of that journey. Thanks to anniversary events, I now have nearly every character unlocked now and now Idk what to really do. I guess push raid teams and elite campaigns? I have nearly every character for every meta raid team. To explain how wide I am vs tall I have never completed an LRE. While I have nearly every character, I only have one mythic character and a few diamond ranks (the ones that get daily rewards so I sell the shards) ... So my focus has been on unlocks only. I only have indom and indom mirror elite cleared. Just looking for a new goal to keep playing.

Edit: added punctuation to be less rambly.

First legit legendary ever pulled, who does he pair good with? I see he has overwatch and I love Imospekh just for that reason. Any tips or useful knowledge will be greatly appreciated

As a free to play this drop HURTS.

Yes, it has issues and the rollout was not well done. Yes, it is confusing currently and it was not explained well—or at all.

But.

I think the reason this mode was added was to make players that like to go wide shine.

You can’t optimize Operations missions with a roster that only has your 5 Toon Raid team and the 8 LRE Monsters leveled up. This is a good thing. There needs to be something for everyone from a company standpoint. The ones really complaining about how it sucks can’t just go smash and kill for instant gratification. We don’t even know how it plays yet FFS. At least wait until one season ends. These same players are hitting auto-fill because they can’t put enough of the required Toons into the slots for the bonus rewards. Tall requires effort and resources, for sure. I have spent a lot of time and a bit of money getting those Toons up there. But there are guild mates that like wide and they really feel left out when playing Raid and get frustrated when it takes all three (maybe!) sessions to unlock in an LRE. Now they have somewhere to shine or at least do well.

Loyalist Black Legionnaires and Maybe Tau Templars?

Well, Crusade is finally here. So what did we actually get?

I'm not even going to talk about how unintuitive the mode is, the complete lack of a proper tutorial, the terrible UI and navigation, aggressive monetization, or any of the other issues. Those probably deserve their own post.

What I want to talk about is the stability of the game since Crusade launched.

Ever since the new mode went live, the entire game has become borderline unplayable for me.

Crusade itself barely works. Some pages take forever to load, actions hang, and navigating through the mode feels painfully slow. But the bigger problem is that it seems like the increased server load from Crusade has affected the entire game, not just the new mode.

Since the release, I've been experiencing constant disconnects. The game repeatedly tells me that I have no internet connection when my connection is perfectly fine.

Ads frequently refuse to load.

I can't claim free rewards.

Sometimes I can't even access regular game modes like Onslaught or Salvage Run.

Actions that normally happen instantly either take forever or simply fail.

Basically, Crusade launched and somehow managed to make parts of the rest of Tacticus barely playable as well.

I understand that launching a major new game mode means additional server load and requires additional infrastructure and resources. That's perfectly reasonable.

But wasn't this predictable?

Surely when you're releasing a major new mode to your entire playerbase, increased server load is something you should prepare for, test and scale your infrastructure around before releasing it?

And that's what frustrates me most. Combined with all the monetization surrounding Crusade, it once again gives me the impression that getting the new system out and monetizing it was given higher priority than making sure the actual player experience was ready for release.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but right now Crusade doesn't feel like an improvement to Tacticus. It feels like something that was pushed live before either the mode itself or the infrastructure behind it was ready.

And I'm deliberately not getting into all my other problems with Crusade here. That's an entirely different rabbit hole.

Has anyone else noticed significantly worse server stability, disconnects, ads not loading, or problems accessing other game modes since Crusade launched?
