Whether it's the 'right' rate of progress or not is subjective. I just know last week it was many times faster. This is what most people are calling the profit bug. It was a nerf. A nerf isn't necessarily bad, but when the devs do it in secret it creates confusion. No announcement from HolydayCity on the biggest nerf in the game's history? Not kosher.
@Sandoumir - It's not a profit 'bug'. It was a huge unannounced profit nerf. Many upgrades were changed and the farther in the game you are the more noticeable the nerf becomes. GL6 is 3125x but it's taking me several hours per manager, so without it it would take someone over *2 years* to earn a single new manager.
Making an idle game last longer doesn't make it better. A good game that ends after 2 months of fun is way better than a boring game that lasts years. Many of us came here from AdCap precisely because they became a the long boring game. I'm changing my rating from 5 stars and I'm extremely disappointed that the devs who tell us everything they're doing implemented a nerf that reduced profits to a tiny fraction of before and said nothing about it.
@darkniko - Scale economy x2 only affects the services sector(the bottom buildings) not the production sector(the top buildings). Profit x2 affects all buildings(both the top and bottom row).
I don't understand why you've added a requirement to own a certain amount of buildings before you can purchase facilities. All the recent updates have made resetting easier(buy alls, buy 30, etc)...this change just makes it annoying. Completely negates the just added buy 30 button. Makes no sense.
There was a bug caused by computer rounding when someone was purchasing too many Discounts before buying many Service sector businesses and the cost was dropping to a number very close to zero. Every victim of the bug couldnt play at all. That addition prevents the bug from happening and everyone can enjoy his game :)
Am I missing something? If I vortex jump now, all the work I've put in over the last month gets erased and I get a 5x multiplier, but someone just starting out can vortex jump in a couple of days and be at exactly the same place I am?
Seems like vortex jump benefits should be weighted to your current status or it's a huge burden compared to new players.
If I win a mission, I blackscreen loading into next mission. If I fail the mission, I blackscreen immediately. Is this is a flash issue? A browser issue? A Kongregate issue? I'm using firefox and it's unplayable in this state.
Just beat the game. The new balance is much better, but progress is probably too quick now for an idle game. I think the multipliers are about right(scouts might be too powerful), but I think PPI gain is too rapid. It only takes a minute to double PPI after reset so there really isn't much cost to doing it. Most idle games use a diminishing returns for their reset bonuses so you really have to choose when it's worth resetting.
Like the new update, really seeing progress now. One bug, the Xenology upgrade is in the wrong place. It's priced at $250 tredecillion but it's listed underneath the Nanotech upgrade at $850 tredecillion.
Went from 5 million PPI to 50 million and still stuck in the same spot in stage 1. Also the only ships that seem to matter are dreadnaughts. Could use larger multipliers on other ships.
Just started and I really liked what I saw...but about an hour in and I can already tell this game is going to be extremely pay to win. When I see units that aren't available to non-payers and increasing wait times to do basic things like research and upgrades with the option to speed them up for in game currency, I know I'm better off just not getting started.
It's a shame because the game looks like it has real promise, but the developers trying to stick their hands in your wallet is pretty obvious. If a game is lots of fun, I'll happily give the developer support, but if a flash game requires money to be fun...no thanks.
I minored in math in college, and I consider myself pretty good at it, but I sure as hell don't have the multiplication tables memorized out to 30. And there isn't enough time to use a calculator. Math Test 3 is WAY too hard unless you're some kind of savant.
Am I missing something? I can't scroll to see the back end of the map. I know there are squares there for placing units but I just can't click on them because I can't see them. I tried changing the isometric view and this helps for a few of them but not all.
The lag is extremely frustrating. It happens only against bigger, more complex tanks, but that's precisely when you don't need lag. By the time I get control again, I'm down 100+ bubbles
