Topic: Wartune / Why are mages so important and so good? Why is this game so racist? We all need a mage to do runs. Why?

So what I’m reading here is

“My class is bad because I’m undergeared, underplayed, have no concept of how to play and it’s everyone elses fault!”

Oh and the generic “I rolled this class because everyone else said it was the bestest class ever”

Topic: Crystal Saga / [Activity] Insignia of Carnation

actually the big problem is how terrible the insignia you get from this is. The Carnation Drop rate is pretty similar to the Clover event; which says a lot.

Topic: Crystal Saga / *** SUGGESTIONS ***

Make a PvP Daily Transaction for Bronze→Silver Badges, and potentially Silver→Gold
There’s a massive oversaturation of Bronze badges to Silvers. Even with doing 15/15 Daily Wishing Wells.

Edit: Reason this is being mentioned is primarily due to the same functionality you have in the Survival of the Fittest transactions. Even if it’s something like 20, or 30 Bronzes for 1 Silver. There should be some usage for these.

Topic: Crystal Saga / Cant get Vip

Here’s the summary

R2 Games is currently saying “we got no payment” to anyone emailing them and to contact Kongregate.
Kongregate is feeding us generic post-script responses to contact them (and the vendor [e.g. R2 Games]) with screenshots attached.

I can say first hand that I was rather upset that I got this token generic response email when I emailed them WITH a screenshot to begin with.

Edit: Scratch that. Seems Kong credited me 80Kreds. So at least they’re understanding the problem.
Edit2: On mentioning to guild of being credited, apparently there have been some people in guild that have attempted to buy VIP again. VIP is still currently not working and this requires a response directly from R2 games.

Won’t ever really happen in this game, sadly. Unless you mean Months=Years.

dude CinderDragon77,

It’s been ages like this have moved on.. it’s always people who pays benefits more than a player who doesnt. Cant stand it? live with it.. throughout all MMORPG that’s F2P are always like this ..

People work harder to get their way up without being able to fund the game… whose alt? I’m the main player myself just so because you wan an easier way out by doing trading and get more gold .. you wan to use the torches to abuse it too? :)

If it ever implement i hope it’s in a party of 5 for a 15min buff like this current Easter event (Guessing Game) and you only can do it once a day, I’m sure people like you will still complain.. I’m sure you will always feel it’s unfair but then again life is never fair ~

Feel free to voice your opinion on torches after you’ve seen the leveling grind vrs income of people Post60. Thanks.

Topic: Crystal Saga / *** SUGGESTIONS ***

Suggestion: Fix your latency issues and artifact spamming in Survival of the Fittest. Rubber Banding 397394 times onto lightning isn’t pleasant because it’s not a skill issue. It’s your lack of being able to program shit properly.

Topic: Crystal Saga / *** SUGGESTIONS ***

Merge the servers. Making S2 with a lack of incoming players has effectively killed both servers.

Topic: Crystal Saga / *** SUGGESTIONS ***

NPC Fixes:
Torch NPC should actually sell torches.
Daily Hunt, Day at Vidalia and Potentially Guild Turnins at major hub points. (Or just make it accessable through our daily events tab)
Fix the Daily Sign-In NPC.
Make the Auctioneer actually do its job: Saves a lot of potential Lag on L1 Starglade.

Potentially make an Item Synthesis or NPC Tradein for MUT→GMUT, because the gross oversaturation of this drop alone is outrageous, even if it’s a 10% Chance on a 5:1 Ratio. It’s still worth it to not have an item that doesn’t see use after 2 weeks of play.

Make XP Boosts rollover |Make Guild Boosts effect the end-result, not the primary.
Example: NonVIP nonGuild would get 350 per kill. VIP Gets 385. Guild1 Buff gives 393 (w/ VIP), 6x XP gives 1100? The card/vip/guild skills should have a stronger influence.

Make Bosses not have a Min/Max drop table – so that 2x Drops are actually worth using rather than being detrimental.

Augment the Dragon Coin System so that there is a potential wheel drop for [x] coins of the same type or potentially an upgraded coin.

Remove Normal Hammers from the Dragon Wheel. They are quite possibly the biggest detriment and unused item in the game.

Fix the Valentines event droptables from Mobs, they have no use yet they still drop teddy bears and eggs.

Make unused items such as Ethereal Dragon Sword Shard have use finally.

Topic: Crystal Saga / Unable to pick up Crystal Ladder Quests

No. The Crystal Ladder Challenge (10, 20, etc) Quests from the Quartermaster have been bugged for a few days now. They are in your “Available” Quest tab but the NPC to interact with no longer notices them as an applicable quest. May have something to do with the few patch updates we’ve had.

The same issue occurs with Vega the Mad quest “Not the BOSS of me” for killing Vega the Mad on Nightmare Difficulty.

Leave a message and I will work a time to trade.

Topic: Backyard Monsters / BADGEHUNTERS PLEASE READ!!!

“Compensate for something”

Sure sounds like LOL U B JELLY SON?

Topic: Backyard Monsters / BADGEHUNTERS PLEASE READ!!!

Now you see. There’s this thing that people don’t quite understand. Emotions run high and so do egos… but so does an extremely vindictive personality. All those people you tried to berate when they first started the process of getting their map rooms… are almost at the end of it.

I just decided to conveniently remind them of how bad this games community really is, users that multi-account to harass lower tiered users “because they can” (Oh, btw, it’s against the TOS, you should read up on it), Pseudo-elitists that play an empty game and feel threatened that other people may actually be better than them. All of you that have been existing purely off of this sinking ship; you’re welcome.

Sure looks like the “no lifer” badge hunters get a 1-up on you this time. Just like every other time really.

BAIIIIIII~

Hate away. I’m still finding it funny that every “badge hunter” now is giving the proverbial finger and permanently occupying your precious game in ghost town fashion.

Moral of the story: Get your ego in check, you’re not that amazing.

Topic: Backyard Monsters / BADGEHUNTERS PLEASE READ!!!

Gage: Pretty much, good sir/ma’am. All of this as a whole was incredibly insulting and then trying to sprinkle a “oh but pretty please after we’re done berating you, can you please do this little favor for us after you quit?” statement… made me chortle.

Ok, look now. This is my alternate account. And by veteran, I meant veteran player. Might as well destroy you, little brat.

EDIT: Look for the account with 2000 posts and one of the most respected and known players around here.

And with that type of attitude, you wonder why people attempting to play a game become “annoying” and “spammy”.

Try not treating the playerbase like they’re scum for discovering a game that hasn’t been openly promoted on Kong and as if they’re infringing on your “personal universe”. You might get better results.

TL;DR – PEOPLE? PLAYING MY VIDEO GAME? HOW DARE THEY!

Topic: Call of Gods / Turn off online/offline notification

People don’t defend anyways.

Topic: Swords & Potions / Is there any other games like swords and potions?

Recettear is pretty much the first thing that came to mind when I first started playing this game.

Topic: Dragon's Call / Bug in game

The text in mail subject is DG – this does not dictate the quality of the item. Putting your cursor over the item in question in mail will show exactly what the item is. – This is not a bug.

Topic: Dragon's Call / Bug List (October)

Dintymley26: That is an intended mechanic of the game and not a bug.

Topic: Fantasy Online / Pumpkin carver bug (it's working now!) √

Ace: Because there’s more relevant bugs to fix right now than an item not showing up on a playermodel or a weapon not having the proper function.

Topic: Remnants of Skystone / new weapon ideas

Words cannot explain how bad these ideas are.

As smooky has said; the game mechanics aren’t changing.

And I’m too damned tired right now to write a thesis to expand on why.

Topic: Remnants of Skystone / Stop Complaining About Expensive Weapons

1-4 Damage is not very impacting once you get Silver or Gold based Mimics. That’s one HUGE reason why NG’s get Post-Gold based Events. I’d have to take out a 200hp Slugrat at L30 without Circuits and Weapon benefits. Let alone the other mimics that go HPCrazy along with 4-7x more damage than before. Honestly, I went with Luck→Attack→Skill in that priority on my weapons early in. You can read about stats and their influences on the Wiki.

In the long run, with Daily Surveys, NG is a better “bang for the buck” to pay monthly. The Extra 10 levels alone are better than a single T2 or T3 weapon – not to mention you get approx 85(Cite me if I’m wrong here?) Brass a day for completing every Daily rather than a potential of I believe 10?

NG Dailies
Mimicology
Foraging
1 Extra Cooking Quest
Golembombers
5 Play CoOp for each class @ 8 Brass each, stacking with Decathalon for another 4
Clothing pickups

While Fizz doesn’t give you brass, you get a GIANT list of Fizzes to make, rather than just Makopas and whatever you get from gardening. So you save spores for other purchases.

When all else fails – you can use a spare character space to “rush” Mission 30 and access the secret room. That’s still worth 100 Brass.
