Topic: Galaxy Online / Xathil's auction.

How it works: Post your offer in MP and or cards. There IS a reserve price. Every 24h the highest bid (above the reserve price) will be taken and the name taken off the list (and sold to that player) So put in your bids!So if you care to wait for it, (as long as its above the reserve price) you will eventually get the BP (when I farm enough). If you put in a fake bid and don’t actually buy you will be ignored for any further bids.

Currently up for bid:

BPs: Bloodspur, Shooting Star, Sagan Kinetic shield.

2* Doppledangers.

S3 are fools. Even if the only thing it gave was armstrong core it would still be worth it.

Theres no such thing as best ship. Its best ship for what purpose. You could just as easily argue indy is the best ship because of low build cost and high tanking ability which is all true. No other ship with as little agility as it has can tank as well as it can PVE. Plus you have to factor in time to research. Chimera you are researching not just 1 extra ship on top of the i28 stuff.. you are researching 3 more badge ships. So yes.. of course you would expect the stats to be higher… you just spent a couple hundred extra hours and similar amounts in millions of gold to research it.

You could just as well argue fleetfoot is the best ship. In terms of the number of instances you can get through purely by building just that ship beginning at the instance you get it. You people are so narrow minded :P best is an adjective but it has absolutely no meaning if you don’t quantify it. It’s like your use of the word good. Oh and notice in NONE of my previous posts have I ever claimed dullahan was the best ship. Only person arguing against that is you. I’d like you to READ what you are replying to instead of just typing up a response to some imagined thing someone said. Might be more productive than arguing with no one. :P

So I’ve never bothered posting on anything, but damn. This has the potential to be pretty awesome. I think there should be some kind of way to prevent someone from only sending in a single fleet with a high * commander to get seeded against people taking multiple fleets of 1-3* or so and facerolling everyone, but other than that this is by far the most intriguing thing I’ve seen here in a long, long time.

remember. you are trying to get as many kills as you can. it doesnt matter how many people you are seeded against. frankly I just think as long as you dont end up at the bottom of the barrel, you will do great. After all this system gives absolutely NO incentive at all to attack stronger players even if they are on the other side. Why would you even target something that you have 0 accuracy and waste rounds shooting at something you cant hit? You dont of course. you target min ___. kill whatever is easiest to get your shootdown count up fast. All the WWs will be running 6x of their best commanders with sbw targeting min atk or min dura and max range :p remember they will 99% of the time go first if they get paired up against 3 players of 6x 2* comms. It doesnt even matter if they lose all their ships. they just need to kill more than they sent.

Actually in terms of speed to build, balance in offense and defense, total time to research up to (and including the ship) dullahan is ABSOLUTELY the best. It builds faster and cheaper than most other ships( 5 second build time, 130/100/140 base cost) . It doesnt take 46+65m to research like BH (1 MINUTE build time, 314+487+297 base cost), or (26+58) LW (27 s build time, 212/142/128 base cost). So it absolutely makes the best hybrids cause it has high defense, stability of a BS with the agility of frigates and is only 20 space shy from a LW3. Considering it takes 800 hours more to even simply research LW (base upgrade time). Yes they are pretty much the best generalist ship in the game. They might not make the best glass or best tank but just about everything in between they have it covered. And no. Top tier badge ships arent even that good. But I’ll leave you to do the rest of the math yourself. I’ve already proven BH and LW aren’t as good. I’ll give you chimeras tend to be a little better but not by enough of a margin that justifies dullahan’s INSANE build speed. In terms of that nothing else even comes close. add to that the numbers for stability, structure, agility and defense. Even if other hulls beat it in one area, they tend to lose in more areas. Do the math. Put all the ship stats on a table. Rank them by each of their stats. Total the ranks of every stat. Dullahan is pretty close to the top. Its a top tier ship no matter how you look at it. Sure you can find better SPECIFIC uses for a single hull type. but nothing else even comes close to excelling in so many different areas.

Your second point is completely invalid: A. Singular. FB player demonstrated his(or her) willingness to spend.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Galaxy Championships & Champions' Mall Introduction

Frankly I’d prefer to be on the side with less players. Less players = more easy targets on the other side since there are more fleets up per 1 of yours.

Not sure what you are smoking. I have LW and BH as well. Oh and dullas. you were trying to make a point?

And yes. so what if A fb server had someone dump in 8k on the first day? I can tell you this and IGG can tell you this. It’s not about how much gets put in on the first day. Its about how much gets put in overall. People tossing in 2k a week will outspend that guy in a month. That doesn’t invalidate my points about how money literally buys progress and the fact that money gets dumped in shortens the lifespan of the game dramatically.

Don’t “correct” me just to correct me cause you want to act like a douche. If you are gonna correct me at least try and bring up a valid point instead of just trying to correct me for the sake of correcting me.

There are HUGE differences between D2 and this.
a) it doesn’t have to consume your life. stop playing D2 for 72 hours nothing happens. stop playing this for 72 hours you miss out on 3 days of ez boxes, loads of resources from harvesting, vouchers, daily quests, a whole set of trials and a half, and if you didn’t put up an advance truce you might have been hit.
b) money cannot advance your progress. No matter how much you have, short of paying someone to level for you, and buying equipment on ebay theres no way to get everything with just money thats built into the game. You can’t level faster, you can’t hit harder.
c) hardcore mode and ladder. nuff said.
Sure this game has huge amounts of content. but when it comes down to it, you can literally buy progression by buying more commanders, speeding up research, resources etc etc. Being able to buy progression disrupts the challenge vs frustration curve. Most of us had some serious problems getting past i9 or 17 because there was a difficultly jump. But someone who went off and spent enough money to get a 6* divine right away? There’s barely any difficulty when you deal loads more damage, and take next to none. Not to mention when you farm for bps its alot faster and you spend alot less HE doing it. Then it just feels too easy. Imagine if i1-30 were replaced with i1 enemies (comms and fleets) you would find it boring as hell cause there’s no difficulty curve. Thats what spending money does in this game. Money literally buys progress. So no. It could never last 5-10 years. You know why our server has progressed so far and have had people even do taurus already? Because our WWs dump money in much faster than facebook does. Judging by the fact facebook players still aren’t heavily reliant on dullahan (when even free players here can farm it) to the point where they have a special maintenance to BUFF it you have to realize we are as far if not further than some facebook servers which opened long before us.

tl;dr in a game where money can and does buy progression and throws off the difficulty-frustration curve. people that throw money at the game make it end faster.

Topic: Galaxy Online / They really want people to quit...

Actually as pay2win as dullahans are, you can totally do libra without them (and farm dullahans for yourself). I started with 550mp (and thats all I ever spent and that was close to 4 months into the game) and I’ve farmed and sold 3 dullahans already (without any of the p2w hulls) and have used the 4th. It’s not impossible just takes an incredible amount of time and persistence (not to mention help from experienced players)

Topic: Galaxy Online / Convert to Card

1. There is no incentive for WWs to spend money on sealing cards. I’m 100% sure ww’s spend more money unbinding event rewards (cards) than unsealing them. WWs dont use every card as they get them. they spend stupid amounts on draws then merge and trade until they get what they want. Thats the mark of a WW – impatience.

2. Badges are not a challenge. You might as well just suggest they add sealing cards to the mall under badges.

3. IGG doesnt give a whit about rep. or listening to it’s players. They care about making money. If they have to listen to their player base to make money, they will :P

Its not about balance. its about their ability to sell ships in events.

Considering the fact that this is MP related, and you want it gone? No.

This change actually does stand a chance of increasing gain for them though. I’ve seen plenty of companies make changes if it stands a change of improving player-base happiness and increasing sales. If you think it might, then why not?

I appreciate that you have an opinion on how it will turn out but let’s just hope that is not the case. There is no point in trying to be correct here.

this will kill sales of sealing cards by like 90%. it takes all of 3 days to get a commander from 0-50 if you are slow and you can do multiple commanders at a time. as much as i would like to see this happen.. it wont.

Moral of the story, listen to the Micky.

He GT’d away? are you sure? are you talking about DJareth? cause I hit him, killed his fleet.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Suggestion: Multi spin wheel/Use all/Inv expansion

Instead of spinning the “lucky wheel” one at a time… put in options to spin X times like the use multiple option on items.

Secondly.. add a ctrl-click for items as a shortcut for use all→ all→ok.
Finally improve the interface on the inventory. When you click on the “locked” space in
your inventory open that many spaces (just like the chip slots!)
+1 if you agree! IGG give us some real improvements for christmas.

Topic: Galaxy Online / This game deserves a permanent 1/5 rating.

the fact you are in i6 ….and NEARLY able to do it suggests that you are less than competent :P.

i rate it 1/5 because they consistently run these “giveaways” where there’s “free” stuff but the only way to participate in the event and get the “free” stuff is by paying. THAT is the reason why i made the post. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have stuff for paying players to get bonuses for spending. I’m saying its false advertising to call them giveaways because they are simply not free. I have absolutely no problems with them running these events as long as they do not misrepresent them.
