NO

normal instances have no flagships anyway.

the difficulty increased. no way to know you can already do it.

^ That would be rather irritating to make all players spend time fighting through instances that they can already do.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Suggestion, gem merging

minor inconvenience, yet easy to fix. Suggestions can be made, the other things that need fixing/improvement have been suggested too..

Topic: Galaxy Online / Suggestion, gem merging

Good day,

I would like to suggest an information popup after gem merging, notifying you of what gem you have merged. The same information as when you use an item would be nice. I often merge raw gems and do not know what gem i have created.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Champion suggestions

I would like to suggest a playback option, for players like me who work during the championships. I would like to be able to watch how the fight went, preferably with a speed button to speedup the turns (2x, 4x, 8x for instance).

Topic: Galaxy Online / Common commander management

The auto dismiss does work for me…

But how are you going to correct the imbalance in the game?
Only the best get rewards, so the best get stronger faster, how are others supposed to catch up?

The whole point is that the others are not supposed to catch up.

If your purpose is to create an imbalanced game without people having equal chances one way or another, then your concept will mean the end of your game. As long as the strong get stronger faster and the rest has no chance then your game dies off. People will leave. Just pointing out the obvious.

You can open as much new servers as you want but it will all end in the same thing with imbalanced games. The elite will stay, majority dies off. Next server less playerbase, the elite will stay, the rest dies off. Next server same thing and so on and so on. Untill the Elite consist of 10 players or less and there is no more others. Then the elite leave, the game dies and bye bye game.

Thats why i asked what IGG will do to balance the game a bit more, so ALL players can enjoy it, and not just a happy few.

Topic: Galaxy Online / League Versatility

The difference really is if you want your daily honor, you need to be there to post your fleets 3 times. If you automate it and dont have to be online you dont have to be there. It is the same with EZ-rewards, you should ask for an automatic collection of that too then.

My eyes dont need to be checked, i have, i do not need glasses. Besides that comment is completely irrelevant.

The biggest difference between your and my opinion my dear tim, is that i argue you should be there at least 3 times to get the daily reward. And you argue you shouldnt have to be there for your daily reward.

IGG should aim for more things to do, more things you can influence, more people online for longer. I didn’t mean to shoot down your idea, i am glad you think about game improvements. I just posted my opinion on it, dont feel attacked. I’m sure a middle path is possible.

Topic: Galaxy Online / League Versatility

I am against automatic league. There are only two timeframes on purpose, people have a better chance to find eachother in those hours. Im sure you have to work and are having trouble to make 1 timeframe, but then you can always make the other. If you want to do league you have to put some effort in.

Next thing you know you are going to ask for automatic pirates, space raid, instance queque, attacking players….
A game needs to be played. If you can play without being present, you are not actually playing it. This game already has not too many things to do, dont make it less by automizing signups.

Topic: Galaxy Online / I have post again for alts..

There is absolutely no difference between an obvious alt and a hidden one. Alts suck and are bad for gameplay but is hard to stop, i believe Legend of a thousand suns on kongregate has a strict policy that seems to work kind off. Maybe IGG has to look into that. When you decide to make work of banning alternative accounts, IGG, please let people post them to you so they can keep their main account.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Public Notice to IGG

Constructive critisism will get you more and cost you less then a destructive legalcampaign, that might ruin the game for everyone. If you are serious about this (which i doubt) you will just cause IGG to spent more of their income towards the legal case and less towards updates and new content development.

If you just want to scare IGG into starting banning alternative accounts, tough luck, the issue has been recorded and its either deemed unsolvable/too expensive to solve or somewhere down the to do list scaring them will not cause any change.

My advice instead of complaining and wasting times to do the things you currently do, is to help IGG constructively by writing out and perhaps even coding new content you feel should be around. Get knowledge of how other games, like GO-II,solved the same problems that bother you.

Be polite. IGG tries to always be polite towards you, you should return the favor. It is like in a store, when you yell at a clerk he will not help you. The same rules of conduct apply to the internet. If you do not respect someone he will be less likely to listen to you, let alone help you.

Last, give up hope for a refund. the game works though not perfectly. You spent money to get access to a certain product to improve your gameplay. You have received your product and it does exactly what the description says. It does not do exactly what you thought the description ment. Therefor the problem is on your side, not IGG’s.

I’ll simplify by an exaggerated example:
You see an add for a vacuum that promises suction like you have never seen before! You buy the vacuum because you think the suction will rip out your insides when you put it on your behind.

The day the vacuum arrives you put your old vacuum on your hand and it gets stuck but it does not hurt. Nothing shows on your hand.
You put the new one on you hand and keep your other hand above the off-button because you are anticipating a hell lot of pain. When you turn it on it is painfull, but barely. A red ring shows on your hand this time.

The vacuum does what the advertisement says, but it does not live up to your expectations. Hence the fault is with you. Lower your expectations before you spend your money, not afterwards. Think and read, experience and get information about what you are exactly buying. You can then make an informed decision.

I hope you have learned from the mistakes you made by spending money on this game, next time follow the right path and you will not be dissapointed.

There’s seriously no point. You can keep progressing as long as you keep increasing your resource gatherers. you don’t need to do anything else.
I also find it disturbing that current Christmas rewards for being online which can be gathered several times a day are more or less all better then lucky wheel and voucher collection which are also free and can only be done once each day.
The game gives nill satisfaction for anything and the only reason to play is because idle games are easy.
Off all the multi player games I’ve played I think only ninja was did less for me. Ceasary was a stupid peace of crap that I think was ultimately shut down for copyright infringement (if I recall correctly they where a 100% carbon copy of another game) to boot there was a security hole that a truck could be driven through. but at least armies where necessary for advancement in the game giving it a sense of purpose.

There is more to it then you are implying. I eagerly wait borntolose his comment on this, just because you deserve it.

Topic: Galaxy Online / Server01 & Server02 Merger on Jan 5th(updated)

Server merges tend to have two sides to them. An up and a downside, wont be getting in to this though. People who already play both servers have multiple accounts. Now lets just look at the main reason the merge is happening: the playerbase is low. The best way to fix the problem would be to have just 1 server and everybody has to start over. From a player point of view however this is horrible ;) The horror of the buildtimes the research and basically the time spent on the game will be lost. So this is not an option.

The second option mostly looked at is a servermerger. This however sets a big chunk of the playerbase behind on the other, removing their results/competitivity and also hereby removing part of the reason why they were playing. This works though, since you can always catch up. The further you get in the game the longer stuff takes, so you are bound to catch up. Especially when they reset all RBP’s the resource gaps between players will not be so HUGE you wont be able to catch up. Downside: everybody loses something. Not just the lower players or the second server, every single one loses stuff. You lose stuff so you all get a chance to be at the same level and then start competing again. Sometimes this works, but i dont see this as a best option.

I would have to say making servertransfers possible with a EZ-reward or MP might be a better option then merging. You wont be transfering dead accounts(with MP no alternative either). Players who dont want to pay make the choice to have to start over from scratch. And players transfering will not lose anything at all, there might actually be a high demand to grab them up in the corps. Yes you will kill a server, friends will miss eachother, corps will be gone. But you will only transfer willing players this way instead of forcing them all.

Now am i not part of s1 nor s2 so im not affected by this merger. I am just hoping new ways of reviving the game for dead servers will be explored, because i dont think a merger is the best way.

On a happy sidenote:
Good luck after the merger, have fun, and i hope the game will regain some of its appeal it had for you before your respectable server died.

smaller amounts will end up costing you more anyway

Topic: Galaxy Online / Christmas specials

I only criticize because this game has a lot of potential, but the above problems are not present in a lot of other games of the same genre that YOU I.G.G. are Competing against for customers.

I agree with you. But at least now i know I.G.G. still is around :P I was starting to think there was not anyone.

And they can’t just change a corp’s name now, it’s already been created, for a lot of money most likely.

how about you let us communicate the things that bother us, so the developers can improve the game instead of adding a comment to a topic which obviously does not interest you at all.

“I DO HAVE A PROBLEM with kids, who say this is a bad corp name”
So i do not have any problems with who ever is playing games in kong, i just dont like ppl who complain about little things like this.

I have a problem with this childish chosen corpsname. Which has no context whatsoever in this game and is obviously ment to offence people. Although i dont think a corpsname should be in the gamecontext i do think there should be some degree of social values when you pick one.

This game is accesible by people of all ages. Im sure you wouldnt like your children to scream BALLSONYOURFACE all day after they played this game. And say it against their grandparents, neighbours and teachers.

The fact you like Ballsonyourface doesnt mean you have to confront us with this. Keep your offensive hobby private. Or next thing you know there will be a corps called Childmollesters. I advice people to make a corps called ROAeroSucks because that is not offensive, you are just saying he drinks from a straw.

Do you monitor the users at all?

From what ive seen this week you dont. I have started since the game was on the kongregate frontpage. And yes i do like the game, unlike most other badgehunters. But when i see a thread about corps named BallsInYourFace and the daily spamming of the alphabet of Bergmo in worldchat i wonder if there are even any moderators who make sure there is no behavior that is not appreciated by the majority of the players or against the rules. It would be nice if you would care a bit more about your own game to actually make sure a few users cant ruin it for the majority, and that you actually make sure users follow the rules. At this rate you will not only lose the players that do not like the game, but also the ones who do like this game.

Please consider a more strict policy regarding the rules YOU have set, so more people can enjoy this game.

Topic: Galaxy Online / new good ideas

being able to modify fleets from the bottom panel would be very nice.
Military → modify fleets → overview of existing fleets you have with modify next to them.

maybe the intention was to do this through commander which would be fine.
But when i click commanders → fleets nothing happens and i can certainly not drag new ships into an existing fleet

:)

Topic: Technical Support / Entire Site Down For Most

I’m having the cdn problems for sure. I disabled all my add-ons and plugins yesterday so i thought it was that.
But it seems to be a problem on kongregates part. Some multiplayer games work, other games also singleplayer dont. Activity feeds ect are scrambled aswell. Heres a picture of how a game not working looks like and as you can see in the bottom the multiplayer game legacy of a thousand suns does work propperly.
