Patch Notes (05.02.21) Update 3.21

Patch Notes (05.02.21) Update 3.21

Since the release of the Doom Tower, we've been looking for ways we need to improve or tweak it. While we're still working on the next full rotation, we have made a few changes to the current Doom Tower Bosses to help make them a little less easy to beat with gimmicks and a little more strategy-oriented.

Here's what you need to know:

- The Nether Spider will now always attack with her second skill, Brood Feast, at the beginning of the round.

- Three of the current Doom Tower Bosses – the Frost Spider, the Nether Spider, and the Magma Dragon – now all have a new passive skill. That skill is:

Almighty Strength: damage from skills that scale based on enemy MAX HP (including poison detonation abilities) cannot exceed 10% of the Boss' MAX HP when attacking the Boss.

- Two of the current Doom Tower Bosses – the Frost Spider and the Nether Spider – also have another new passive skill. Here's the skill:

Almighty Persistence: all Turn Meter reduction effects are decreased by 50% when used against the Boss.

That's everything! Go ahead and try out these changes for yourself in the new rotation of the Doom Tower. As always, please let us know what you think of these changes on our official forums or over on our Discord.

Good luck, and happy raiding!

Plarium is trying to make it more fun so that you dont just destroy the whole game and everyone just crys about it... 

If you dont like the game leave.. if you do like the game learn something and get better... 

I will say i am fairly new so i am not able to compete at all.. but I dont want to play a game that is just click a button and never challenges me... should their be more incentive for these harder updates.. probably, i dont find it quite right that the game difficulty is just increased and nothing is added other than the challenge... 

But i love that they try to do what they think is best.. and so far i think they tend to listen to try to keep us around

If you're new maybe you shouldnt comment on something you know nothing about?

I have been playing this game for 15 months, i know this game, i know this company and this update is B.A.D. You know what it does, it makes the cheapest teams unusable, and doesnt change the whale comps at all

Wow... been reading some of the reviews. I've only found one that didn't want you all to go play in traffic, and that was from a newbie who just started playing the game. 

Not a good response from your paying customers you guys.

 Is this the new Plarium norm? To make the game impossible for players who can't afford to piss away $100 a month?

 January I spent  almost 12 hours a day of mind-numbing farming, trying to scrounge together enough all the silver and decent enough equipment so that I might use the few champions I already own, to build a lineup that might, with some work, be able to take on the Tower

 Not mention all the hours I've spent doing research  watching YouTube videos that dared give some strategies  I might actually have been able to use.

 Now, thanks to the changes you've made, all that time and effort have been wasted

 I'll never get that time back but could I at least be reimbursed $150 I've spent this month?

They promissed us more diversity. Now we have to build debuff remover, witch are not that often seen on dungeons. And every one is complaing that we cant kill DoomTower Spider like the normal dungeon spider.... with Turnmeter Abuse and Max Health Nuke. Its a step forward that we can´t use the same tactics and champs for doomtower that we use in normal dungeons. So we have to build more champs.  = more diversity

I could honestly understand this implementation for the hard mode considering there has to be something to give endgame players a challange, but to make it harder for all modes is a bit ridiculous. Not all players have strong options for champions. I have a huge roster and have spent plenty of money and hard mode shut me down on higher levels. I can only assume that F2P people don't stand a chance really outside of the really lucky ones. Normal mode isn't too hard, but even that had me guessing at times on the bosses and special rooms. You guys have got to stop going all in to make things unbeatable for all but those that spend the most cash.

Really? Anyone with half a brain knows that this is a stupid update.


First of all, you guys said you wanted to make the options for Doom Tower more varied, yet you increase the difficulty...... That only narrows our options...


Secondly, if you truly want Doom Tower to not be so Champion specific, I got news for you. That will never, ever, not in a million years, ever, ever, be possible... You have to possibly realize that that factor strictly relies on Champion selection... right??... Scarab requires Shield. Frost Spider requires HP Burn. You guys want to "vary champion selections", but at the same exact time, you also want to have specific ways to beat the boss. You've got to be kidding me. No one is this dumb.....


Lastly, congrats, you made whales add another 50 seconds to their runs. As for the rest of us, we get screwed because you somehow think you're magicians that will be able to make late game players take just as long to complete their runs as mid-game players.... No.... Whales will still get DT done. However the rest of us are getting screwed over for no other reason than you guys don't know what the hell you're doing....


Should DT be hard? Sure! I agree! I have no problem will DT being very difficult that requires a lot of effort to complete. However.... Don't be dumb.... Don't make it whale-only content....

I am a paying player, I spend about $50 - $100 a month.

We all know Plarium is all about the $$$$ and nothing else.

Everything they do is about generating more $ by screwing over the players which is the wrong way to go.

Now my Alure, Coldhearts, Armiger is useless after I have spent time and money levelling them up and mastering them up.

Enough is enough!  - I am cancelling my monthly gem $10 a month, I am cancelling my Raid Pass $10 a month and I completely not spending anymore at all.

I am a grown man, imagine if i had to pay $ each time I wanted to change my underpants or T-Shirt? - Yeah nuts right?  -- - So why on earth costs an arm and leg for us to change our Legends armour?... Not much of Legends are they if costs money!!!

1) If you do changes to Doom Tower, do it every 6 months.

2) If you do changes to Doom Tower, rotate the bosses - DONT every month make them harder

3) Remove the silver cost for changing gear

4) Implement an Optimizer into the Game, like what Hell Hades has done

5) Give us a weekly upfront schedule of what is coming up

6) Stop giving us chained offers which shows part 1 and part 4 as great value, only to have part 2 and 3 stupidly high..

I'm not totally agreeing with The change. But to be fair, now even The whales Will have to come up with new strats besides max HP nukes and poison blow ups etc. 

I've been playing for almost a year now, and when you think of it, is this totally different from faction wars? There you have to have Atleast 5 champs for each faction, this is what they try to accomplish in doom tower aswell. Make you have more champs with different strats. 

In all honesty, is it fun to just copy the teams from others, or come up with you own startegies? 

For me Personally, I think The change is a good one, it just means we Will spend more time leveling different champs for The tower as we do with FW. 

I do understand people getting upset though, but for me, I only see it as it Will take longer to complete if you do not whale. As in all other games. 

Why do everyone want to rush content? I mean The tower hasnt been around for long, why not enjoy The Journey?

The last several months the game has lost it's luster.  Making DT harder is just the snowstorm of my winter.  No more spending on this game.

Congratulations - you've actually dragged me here to the forum with how freaking bad this is, my only other time being when the game was really screwed up for me. 

Not bad enough that PvP is broken again - sure my main tied to this account in Gold IV is fine and seeing fairly easy teams but my alt F2P one is now mired back in Silver against insane teams again, but now, even though I don't have the champions or gear to cheese my way through normal Doom Tower, beyond somewhere in the floor 60-90 range with a ton of work and some luck - you've effectively made it impossible till I get the right champions, that I still don't have - so what the hell is the damn point? It annoyend me as is that while I'm getting into the endgame, almost have Arbiter, FW just an issue of champions and holding Gold IV solid enough with the team I got, that I was basically held back by the fact I don't have the right champs, or god level gear. That I can only complete certain rooms cause again, I don't have every champ in the game. 

So I will say thanks, for making the decision to no longer spend any money on this game a lot easier. If the whales need more of a challenge - give them a brutal and nightmare mode that I will likely never even want to play, rather than screwing over F2P, Low Spend, or anyone that doesn't have insane luck in champ pulls and gear drops.

Oh my god, what I've just read :/


Have you actually seen here at least 1 complain, that we don't want to level other champions?

Mind sharind the trick, to level champion from not being in my collection, to level 60 ascended?


Before there were 3 strategies on Nether Spider, Nuke it down, TM control, or endure. It's not like TM control was too easy - quite a lot of damage came to the face of the controller. Now there is just 1 strategy and it is to endure, those who do not have dispell champions - Plariums wants to say "RIP LOSERS!".


If they did the change like "Now Nether Spider requires Broadmaw in the team, or you cannot kill the boss" - would be strange, but since he is always obtainable - people would gladly level him from scratch and be done with it, no one would complain here then.


Just login into the game for a while man, helps to see more of what's happening. There are allready secret rooms in DT that force you to level up completely useless champions that you would never use anywhere else, so even your point of "For me Personally, I think The change is a good one, it just means we Will spend more time leveling different champs for The tower as we do with FW." makes zero sense in terms of what they have done to Nether Spider.

 Patch Notes (05.02.21) Update 3.21 - ops we just  broke doom tower

I  bet you a 100€ that you can't do any worse than what you did with this crap update.

Thank you for destroying any chance for regular non whale player who can't afford to spend ash or hellhades levels of money to get even half way in your new WHALE TOWER.

I see all the community is very happy , hope you are proud with your hard work.

Good thing they rolled the patch notes WAAAY in advance, so that we won't have problems with champions we recently leveled, who are now completely useless, right?


 (just to be clear, these 200 IQ Plarium guys, rolles patch notes only after patch went live and people played a bit after it was activated, might be because they needed to check if all of their changes are working, since the last CH AI fiasko, which is the most dumb thing I've seen so far).
