So anyway, Treacherous Swamp is the new area that's coming and if we look historically for clues, then the zone will drop live probably tomorrow or so. It's kind of odd though: They usually say new enemies added and new treasure, but this time they only say new enemies. Does that mean we're not getting a new treasure? There are still plenty of ideas for treasures I think, so I'm not really sure why they wouldn't give us a new treasure, even a bogus little one that doesn't help much would be something, and something is better than nothing.
I read all the stuff the commenters wrote about Chuck and it's quite interesting how this 4 star birdy rocked the free player world a bit. Seems like he is good stuff. I haven't played much Line Rangers recently and I farmed him about 20 or 30 feathers and didn't get a single one and I was just like, aw, forget it. But then a couple days later Chuck became available on Friendship Gacha and I laughed because if there's anything I have a ton of, it's Friendship Points! Got 5 Chucks in a hurry and job's done. :) I guess we should have seen it coming because they did promise it in the original Angry Birds x LR notice but I wasn't expecting the Friendship Gacha bird to be the same bird as the Stage Clear bonus bird. Oh well. I felt mildly tricked by it, but it worked out in my favor.
Red is available until November 17, so we have a few more days before I'm sure a new set of rangers will come. I was on the fence about the Angry Birds as rangers but I think I've decided now that I would rather LINE stay on point about their characters. We've had quite a few deviations with crossover events (Pili themed rangers, Toyota Yaris, Angry Birds) and yes, they were OP in their own way during their time but why can't we have more interesting LINE Town character rangers? Jessica and James have hardly been explored, in my opinion. I originally fell in love with Line Rangers because it had a story and it was a rescue mission. It tied in very closely with the lovey dovey feelings I get when I think about the LINE friends. I felt a need to save Sally and I wanted Brown and Cony to lead the charge. But now anyone can come along and bam-pow their way through the stages to save Sally... it's lost a certain charm by breaking into the LINE Town universe. I know everyone has their gripes with the current situation of the game, but my specific plea at the moment is for the game's upcoming rangers to relate back to Line Town.
Also, where are my Final Fantasy fans? Give me a shout if you get this. The enemy in the lower left corner of the splash screen: Tonberry? If his right hand is hiding a dagger, we are all screwed because Tonberry is a bad-ass.

Final note: I added a related links section and the LR database created by Jessica is quite nice and impressive. Check it out! Anyone have any other English resources out there?
I just wanted to get the word out that there is a Line Rangers subreddit. It's somewhere to easily have discussion about.. anything Line Rangers! Help, strategy, thoughts, opinions, etc... anything Line Rangers is welcome.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.reddit.com/r/LineRangers/
Oh that's awesome! Glad to see line rangers getting traction enough to hit reddit.
DeleteI like this new area right when I see the splash screen. The enemies look well-designed, thematic and cute in a very line-ish way (think about Maze of Illusion design) AND TONBERRY TOO lol LR x FF soon?
ReplyDeleteTime to forget about Red and preparing for the next gacha event. Oh and I still stuck at 150 because the hurry up is too goddamn unbelievable with monsters spawning across the screen T_T See you swampies in 2015
I managed to beat 154 and 155 today but 156 is owning me. I don't understand how people get their first Thomas long before the enemies reach you the first time, I'm spamming the same lowbies at the same speed... sigh.
ReplyDeleteDebating using my rubies from this week to do the 5+1 if they do another double odds before Red leaves, or waiting to see the new event ranger now. I'll probably wait.
At this pt probably worth it to wait since the next wave is coming. I haven't tried 156 in eh... 2 weeks? I'm still there. Betting that whenever Swamp comes out, Wasteland will get nerfed so I'm sure you'll get to Swamp before 2015!
DeleteBecause of the endless story about saving Sally, I really don't want to go further in story mode or exactly I don't need to complete the last area soon. Every land has total 12 stages and the 12th stage of each land is the hardest stage on that land, so why LR don't giving us a different clearing reward in roulette slot?
ReplyDeleteFor Ex: 1 Ruby, Coin x2 (double earned coin), Exp x2 (double earned experience), Rainbow Feather - I recommended.
How do you think guys?
I think that it's a good idea however, there are people who bot the game, i.e. record predetermined "keystrokes" on the game and they can continuously farm stages for coins, rangers, etc. With a winning team, players can farm the end-stage nonstop with bots. It's not fair and it does ruin the potential for legit players sitting there farming one feather at a time. But if I had to guess why LINE would not provide more lucrative rewards for whatever the "current" end-stage is, this would be the reason. Botters could potentially just sit there and run their device 24/7 and potentially earn hundreds of rubies, albeit slowly, but surely.
DeleteYeah, agree!
DeleteBut I think with very low drop ratio for rubies, even the botters farm it 24/7 they couldn't earn hundred rubies in a week, also if they spend much time on botting thing, they will have no time for PVP, also just in first week they will run out of stock feathers quickly. Or to prevent the botters, rubies rewards could be removed from the spinning slot.
On the other hand, It is really good for free player if they play hard in story mode (special in each area's 12th boss stage) they could earn some addition rainbow feathers then use it in PVP to get higher rank. The drop ratio of specail reward will be adjusted according to the stage's number. Higher stage drops better to prevent farming at easy or low level boss stages.
I am a fan of Final Fantasy VIII, played when I was at high school, that Tonberry King is really caused a lot of trouble for me at the first time, but he is the funniest boss in FF8, special his Junk skill, it throws a ton of kitchen furniture on the head of all characters.

Cool, thanks for commenting! I don't remember if I ever got Tonberry in FF8. He's pretty much a huge problem in every FF game. Him and Cactuar are pretty much always a good challenge when you encounter them at normal levels (before you farm out 9999 stuff). I have fond memories of FF6 Tonberry pwning me with his wee little knife. :(

ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I havent cleared the entire are when new area comes out.
ReplyDeleteIm stuck at 153 where it is supposed to be easier than152 -___-
Panic, are you going to make a kind of walkthrough in the wasteland stage like u did in the maze of illusions?
ReplyDeleteThat torchlight enemy looks like Dave from the Desert Lab and that tennis player looks like Summer. But for now struck like hell at 148, it's damn difficult and I don't have Chuck mastered either, only at level 55. He was so difficult to get, even in the friendship gacha. So I think am gonna be struck at Wasteland for some more time.
ReplyDeleteThere are videos on beating Wasteland with basically just Sorceror Cony, Opera James, Scott, Glenn, Rei/Bella. Occasionally you can swap 1 lowbie for 1 splasher. The same strategy applies to pretty much every level except for 156, which requires you to hold out for Hurry Up. You can replace the splashers with any higher level ranger you have and it works fine. Don't replace the lowbies, you need them to get a Ghost Thomas.
DeleteI used the same strategy to get to 156. It can be done with free rangers, you just need persistence and a little luck.
I cant duplicate video for stage 153. I spammed scott and glenn continuosly and deploy cony if I have excess mineral but thomas didnt triggered so I had to use my invincibility before they crush my first splasher. Dunno why thomas appear fast in video.
ReplyDeletemy lv65 halloween cony seems useless. Im stuck at 153 and cant find last treasure pieces
Don't feel bad, there is a lot of luck to it. I cleared it once and got no treasure, so I decided to try and farm it for the treasure. I cleared it again and got 1 star, then I lost like 8x in a row before I managed to beat it again, but luckily I got the 3 star that time. It was very frustrating. My team was Scott, Glenn, Opera James, Sorceror Cony, lvl 75 Halloween Cony.
DeleteThe strategy is solid, but there's a lot of luck in the enemy movement so if you can't replicate it the first time, keep trying.
Now I move to 156 because my mastered ksm have buffed and so my sorcerer cony. I tried to duplicate Wei S video using 3 lowbies and 2 splasher which I can replace with ksm (80) and halloween cony (65). Their splash range are wide. I failed because thomas take veeerrryy long time to be triggered. In Wei S video, thomas triggered even before enemies reach tower. In my case, thomas trigerred after enemies reach my tower, i've blown them back using tornado, and take some time until about 50% way to my tower again.
Deletei hate it why the differences are so far. I spammed those 3 continuosly just like video but why the time thomas triggered are so different?
Red is just awesome 4 days ago I finally beat stage 148 just using a Master Red, yes without help of any kind, no friendhelp (not even the one who appears when someone send you friendship points) without items and not even with Thomas so Red is the best ranger so far, using only him I can clear all the stages from the 1st to the 148 stage with minerals at level 88 (both of them), at stage 149 things got more complicate, so I cleared stage 149 with Red and free splashers like Sorcerer Cony and Opera James and with chuck and Scott,Stage 150 is a different story, Red can manage to beat the first wave of enemies and the second wave (the ones who appears when you reach the enemy tower) Red eat them with little trouble but when Hurry Up appears its ipossible to hold them, its just to many damage output and not even chuck can handle that, but for the other stages Chuck is very useful, 1M HP for just 190minerals is a bargain.
ReplyDeleteSo with this new Angry Birds I finally beat all the stages before LR decreased the WasteLand difficulty, so I achieved to complete all the stages with their original difficulty.
OK this is getting ridiculous. You can literally buy a (supposedly OP) mastered 5* for 1900 rubies. Goodbye PvP
ReplyDeleteIts only slighly stronger than MTB. 180k attack 4.4 mil hp speed ranger (melee or ranged?)
DeleteHahahah yeah I saw that, Warrior Ninja will cost you $250USD , available only when you buy rubies, 1 WNinja with every purchase of $50USD.
DeleteIt seems that he is the new MuayThai Brown, 520 minerals for ATK: 186030 HP: 4496263 a good day for players who likes to spend a lot of money.
It will be better if they decide to include Warrior Ninja in gacha after Red is gone, so it will become possible to get Warrior Ninja for many players.
DeleteThis game relates to the southpark episode about freemium games haha. So true!
ReplyDeleteI heard that if we Gacha immediately once it is release, the chance of getting the new rangers is even higher.
ReplyDeleteBUT! i have just gacha 2 times, within first 15mins of release and i am so disappointed with the results. My first Gacha has no new rangers, My second gacha has only kungfu brown and thunder cony.
I was really hoping to master red but i only have 2 that i got in the beginning of the month. Not sure if i should try again to get Red. As i missed halloween cony, i can't seem to maintain below 20k T.T

Whoa, a ton of rangers just got buffed. Just from initial look - Xan doubled HP, Lia, Alice and Sorceror Cony went up to 100k damage, Lucifer Cony went up to 88k. Muay Thai Brown went down to 600 crystals, and his hp/damage seem to have gone down too. Changes all around the board here!
ReplyDeleteGood news, some free rangers is buffed a lot about Atk and HP, also the mineral cost of almost rangers are reduced.
ReplyDeleteSorry, not reduced, their deploying cost is increased a little.
DeleteWow this is ridiculous. They also reduced HaCo Dps and buffed SoCo, Masked moon by double DPS. Old Rangers like KSM has been also greatly buffed. Not that I wanna complain all the time but changing all data this way doesn't make any sense. It's confused everybody and I don't really see the point. Oh and last but not the least this new Ninja ranger that you can litteraly buy for 250Us dollars is a joke... Well at least they don't make a secret anymore that $$ is their only interest.
DeleteFun of players? who care?
wow, the new area are challenging...u will meet that muscle bird again at normal stages..the enemy come out to fast and my master chichi can not even stand the attacks. wowww
ReplyDeleteHere are the changes for the rangers I have:
ReplyDeleteMastered MT - 600 cost 240407 ATT 3901716 HP
Mastered Chichi - 1010 cost 487645 ATT 5209434 HP
Mastered KSM - 870 cost 208353 ATT 1151935 HP
Mastered DKB - 660 cost 221900 ATT 448054 HP
Mastered Somchai - not yet 80 but definitely increase in ATT by a ton
Mastered Somchai - 1170 cost 237456 ATT 5539579 HP
Delete250$ to master Warrior Ninja, this is really killing people game. So I decide to use my saved rubies on next month Christmas Event.
ReplyDeleteAt level 80 Warrior Ninja has 186,030 Atk/ 4,496,263 HP/ Cost 520 (cheaper than MT Brown)/ Speed Class. I think he was an upgrade of Glenn.
Many free rangers have been massively buffed. Socerer Cony now have 106638 ATT.
ReplyDeleteGlenn and Scott went up to 60 crystals, small HP gains. Driver Brown went up to 610 crystals, now 2.9m life. Red dropped in cost - at 60 he costs 910 instead of 1020. Halloween Cony dropped to 1180 instead of 1340 at lvl 75. Chuck does 70k damage and now costs 170. Dumpy has more HP than attack. Hip Hop Brown has more HP than Mach Brown?
ReplyDeleteSo they indirectly nerf Wasteland by heavily buffing free ranger, which is nice. Looks like they buff quite a few old rangers too.
ReplyDeleteNorurun hits 143k instead of 95k
Abdula hits 132k instead of 115k
Scott/Glenn are both 40 mineral as of this post
They keep updating resources every few minutes so this is not final guys
Also I like that the ninja dude is not another OP splash ranger but more like a buffed MT. I dont fancy him too much since Kungfu has replaced MT in my main with his decent bulk and good splash atk :D
thnk you web master for explain concept of this game clearly
