Interesting how getting a Vanguard is so much cheaper than the ones immediately preceding it... One diamond and some cloth? Easy. If you don't have too many people on your party, you can buy back down vessels and receive a bunch of materials(silver, iron, cloth, and timber I think) which can all sell for a lot. Rebuy the diamond and cloth if you sold em' and you've made easy, massive profits while keeping your Vanguard and never having to leave the city... This is still a good game and I had fun even up until I accidentally ran into this(I assumed buy down just switched vessels back and forth for free).
Only started this for the badges. I actually started to like it, but waiting hours for actions after a while just isn't very interesting anymore... This just feels like managing resources and timers. And if you're only going for the badges, you hardly even have to worry about buildings or upgrading anything other than your sworn swords and focusing one skill.
Well made game. I enjoyed reading the quests and making decisions, but waiting so many hours to get what feels like such little reward doesn't encourage me to continue... Might check in now and again, albeit more sparsely.
"Some luck involved." SOME luck involved. All lies!
I think that getting the hard badge was 15% skill, and only for about the first 10 seconds. After that it's a matter of whether the game throws useful powerups for me or suicidal ones(speed!) and if the game gives me a path through the mines to begin with.
I can get hiding money in a potted plant, I can believe searching someone while they sleep, but why did I find 25 bucks in (what I assume to be) a public urinal?
Pretty much failed this at first... but I felt that max speed, agility, and reproduction nailed it. I made do without strength and defense through shear numbers and virus spreading speed. Not to mention it's easy to grab the def, str, and rep x2 cells before anything else can.
The prospector's gold signs get pretty bothersome when they scroll my screen all the way across the map and make me have to manually scroll back slowly to where I'd actually want to mine...
How pure and beautiful this is... It's surprising sometimes how such a quick, simply, and even childish story could reflect the entirety of our lives with such pathos in mere minutes... Quick, simple, somber. Nothing more.
Personally, if it took me 2 weeks to walk up to reception, and then another 2 weeks to get to my room, then another month to go bowling, I probably wouldn't give the hotel such high ratings o-0
