Soul Wars

[icecube]

So I want to do Soul Wars to get Trickster bottoms but not sure how to go about it. Last time I tried, I only got 3 wins out of 10 games or so. I tried to follow people who looked to be in a clan or w/e, but I don't think that worked. Any tips?

[Sy_Accursed]

When they yell out fc or w/e to join for calls: join them.

 

That way you get the calls to follow to the wins rather than falling for their fake rushes to shake the noobs.

Do they call out fc in the waiting room? I haven't seen any calls except for one guy who tried to start a FC, which didn't work out.

What's your combat level?

[icecube]

I'm 129, no ss/turm though.

 

EDIT: Started to rethink doing getting the pants. Just wasted the past 2 hours and no wins. The time I did get on the right team I didn't get in the game because it was unbalanced.

W44, join Soul Elders friend chat. They're advertised 125+ but accept 120+ usually. There will usually be a caller for colors and for in game. Listen to both. They've been doing some screwy things with color calling lately to try to throw off leech clans, so pay attention everytime you're waiting for a game to start and at the end of games. Callers use ====== to designate that they are a caller, although obviously anyone can do that, so try to keep track of the callers.

You have to be very quick getting into the pens and sometimes even then won't get into the game so a lot of patience is required.

Soul Elders usually win, but it's not 100%. I do believe they're your best chance though. They seem to do better a bit later than now, around 5pm central time and later until the wee hours of the morning when chat population declines.

 

Don't say the color in the chat if someone asks, and try to PM a ranked member if you don't know the color (as in you joined late), although by then it may be too late anyway.

 

If you can't get on the color they called, and instead go to the other, it's called pity. If you're on pity, don't attack purple dots on minimap (chat members) and stay away from center/avatars. Also destroy barricades. Of course, since you're going for Hybrid legs, you probably won't worry about pity much.

If you're being attacked by a chat member, tell them in the cc. If they persist doing all the no-nos I listed above, they'll be kicked, as will you if you're found to be traitorous.

Obviously don't go against the chat if they've been having a bad streak. They'll get back eventually.

 

Lots of etiquette things I know...

 

I have 399 Zeal all from wins and spent/spend losing or tie Zeals to keep track. I'm currently at 5 Hybrid bottoms going for my last one, so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about!

[icecube]

Oh I remember someone told me about Soul Elders when I started getting hybrid stuff a couple months ago. Was confused cause I thought it was a CC and could never join it :unsure: . Thanks for all the info, I'll give it another shot and see how it goes with them.

 

Also, how many games did it take you to get your first bottom? Is it around 100 wins like I've seen in some guides?

 

EDIT: One reason I wasn't seeing people advertise FC earlier today was because I was in a different soul wars world lol. Forgot 44 is more active.

[Blutters]

111 wins if I remember correctly, so I was a bit above the average. I took a looong break after getting the first 3, just started up again, and the last 3 (placeholders) are taking far longer than they ought to, lol.

Soul Elders has remained pretty consistent. I might see you there if I go back tonight :P

[icecube]

urgh :(. Out of the 4 games I've done with Soul Elders, none have gone my way. For 3, I couldn't get in game - can't handle the lag at the beginning and enter late. And the one I did get in, another 2 clans crashed and we tied. I will try at s later time like the times you suggested :grin: .

EDIT: Stayed for one more since it was same color as previous game and won :D. 4th win, only 96+ more.
