Topic: Card Monsters / Magic, annoying both ways

I find magic attacks to be quite useful because you can aim them. Even if my magic damage does the same amount as my ranged damage, I can make my magic hit the enemy with ten health, while my ranged only has a 50% chance.

Topic: Terra Monsters / Suggestion Box

I didn’t read the thread, so I’m not sure if it was mentioned yet, sorry if it was, but the chat box doesn’t give any kind of notification that you received a message. Perhaps make a pop-up with a link to the chat box if you receive a message while you don’t have the chat box open?

actually, you do have to train everyone, because you need to beat all of the survival tournaments.

also, was I making a horrible mistake when I decided to stick with Elwyn, Gloria, and Solaar, even after I got Legion?

Geraid, spend a little less time ranting and showing off your grasp of rhetoric so that you might actually be taken seriously by people like myself who would normally be somewhat concerned about these issues by going over your grammar when you type up an entire essay on a free internet game.

First issue quests: You complain about the click adventure setup of many web browser based games. Do you see what I’m getting at here? Because later you go onto to mention Dream World and use it as a reference to a better game from the way you stated it. If you are going to reference another game then maybe you should pick one where the basic design of the game isn’t the same.

Second issue market: I’ve got an idea! How about you don’t be lazy and click on one thing to go to your profile screen and remember the number and then, this might be very hard for you, click just one more time to go back to the market.

Third ridiculous issue battles: I’m sorry I was under the impression that every Kongregate point and click RPG wasn’t exactly like that.

Fourth issue profiles: First of all you can see what stats each item gives as well as your total. Oh yeah, and that “detailed” profile that you mentioned is more detailed if you actually took your time and used it. In case you didn’t know it gives you a more detailed look at your equipment. I also take it you are heavily involved in code as well as being able to easily design concept art for every combination of items so please just feel free to do the work for them.

Fifth issue library: You and I actually stand in a way somewhat eye to eye but not entirely. I feel that things like these should be ignored until basic game mechanics are generally accepted.

Sixth issue raids: If the bosses would fight back new players would be screwed or higher level player would just have an advantage.

Seventh issue allies: I got an idea how about you ask somebody and I’m also fairly certain that it tells you in the beginning of the game that the more allies you have the more damage you will deal in raids. Not to mention that if you knew nothing of how allies work why would you care to know their stats beforehand.

You ask why people would purchase something that doesn’t even exist and has absolutely no value? Lets just assume that this is like every other aspect of life and there is always people who want to be the best. Yes, at the moment armor really has no purpose but mososh is going make stats have an affect on raids.

You also seem to think that you know the developers intentions. How do you know that it isn’t just to get attention for the game so that more people can give their feedback? That’s because you don’t know and because you aren’t some almighty omniscient being who can read everybody’s thoughts.

So I think its time to move on to reviewing your review. You have some childish diction and while this game may be intended for younger audiences don’t expect to be taken seriously. Grammar mistakes that are very obvious and that you didn’t fix are present throughout this article/essay/review/rant. You call the game an alpha and proceed to be concerned about it being underdeveloped. Honestly if you hadn’t complained about so many just plain lazy things on your part I would have never even written this counter rant. I myself have spent no money on this game and have played it since it came out find your review terrible, for one, but also borderline belligerent.

I haven’t played this game very much, but some of the stuff you said here just sounds stupid, and wrong. For example, “If you are going to reference another game then maybe you should pick one where the basic design of the game isn’t the same.” this is just wrong. If you want to say that a car is not a very good car, do you compare it to a motorcycle? No? What about a toaster? Or maybe a bath tub? You should compare something to something else that is similar in as many ways as possible, so if you want to say one Final Fantasy game isn’t a very good Final Fantasy game, you compare it to another Final Fantasy game, and if you want to say Need for Speed isn’t a very good series of racing games, you compare it to another series of racing games. “In case you didn’t know it gives you a more detailed look at your equipment” I could be wrong, but I can’t find anything more in the detailed view of an item than in the normal profile view, except for name and flavor text, which both have no actual effect on anything, plus a “detailed profile” should have some more detail about, you know, your character, it is their profile after all. maybe it could show their HP somewhere? Or maybe tell me what my quest level apprentice 1 means? Or tell me how to advance it? Or really, just say anything at all about my character, besides level, allies number, wins, and Current streak, it doesn’t even mention my highest streak anywhere, that I can find, other than right after the end of a battle. I do agree with you on the avatar with your items on it, but it probably wouldn’t be too hard to make a generic “sword” and then have it shown if your character has a sword equipped, with maybe custom models for rare stuff. “If the bosses would fight back new players would be screwed or higher level player would just have an advantage” What’s that you say? Higher level people being more likely to beat a high level boss than lower level people? Not everyone being able to easily take on the biggest bosses at level one? Unheard of! “I got an idea how about you ask somebody and I’m also fairly certain that it tells you in the beginning of the game that the more allies you have the more damage you will deal in raids.” While asking someone is a good idea when you don’t know about something, the game never tells you what allies do, at least as far as I’ve been, and leaving a game mechanic completely unexplained, or explained in such an out of the way manner that you could easily miss it is just sloppy. One final note, you criticize his/her grammar, while having an obvious mistake yourself, “If the bosses would fight back new players would be screwed or higher level player would just have an advantage.” unless you mean to say higher level player is an idea, or a collective noun? Because having a singular there makes no sense whatsoever.

Edit: now that I look at it, the makes one post every six hours for eighteen hours. Yay, patterns.

Topic: Elements / Card Trading?

If there were a trading system, using it to trade away cards you have too many of would be the purpose, not a form of abuse…

What if you could only trade cards of equal value. So that you couldn’t transfer cards to one account, but you had to trade. So you couldn’t trade a Red Nymph to one account without that account trading say a Gray Nymph or something along those lines. Dragons could be traded with dragons, creatures without skills with creatures without skills, and so on and so forth.

There is a flaw in your suggestion as you said “Only trade cards of equal value” and it’s that If i had 2 accounts, 1 named A of which has 8 titans and other named B having 5 titans but also have 7 Druidic Staff. I would just trade 1 titan from A over to B for 1 Druidic Staff because i already have 6 of the weapon already. With this trading system alot of players wouldn’t be selling their extra rares if they can trade it for those which they don’t have. Think about it noone will trade common cards since there sold in the bazaar so it’s all about Rares. Don’t exclude nymphs because i heard of some players already having 7 of the same 1 nymph so see how the abusing can still occur.

Topic: Critter Forge / Healing is a Waste of PP: The Noob Guide

I might be missing something, but if your strength costs 47 PP, with a duration of 36, and you gain 5 PP a turn, you are going to be sitting on maxed out PP for most of the time, which is much more of a waste of PP then any skill, and if you can heal faster than strength, the most damage dealing ability in the game, there isn’t much reason not to put on a heal when pp is maxed skill, and it could be helpful if you’re fighting something that isn’t a healer. Also, your post shows not that healing is a waste of PP, but that strength is more powerful than healing. if you coun’t up the PP usage, the healer uses exactly 10 more PP than the strengther, and very soon the strength user is going to be sitting a full PP watching it’s PP regen going to waste. additionally, this battle goes for 7 turns. with missing one in every five attacks, if the strength user gets unlucky and misses twice, the healer survives long enough to use heal again, buying it an additional attack before it dies, so if the healer gets lucky and doesn’t miss at all, although chances are with 8 attacks it will miss at least once, it ends up winning.

Edit: actually, the healer can, I think, miss once and still win if the strength user misses twice

Do I support Facebook? Yes. Do I support Kongregate? Yes. Facebook provides my needs for communicating with my cousins out of the country along with keeping up with those friends who have moved away. Kongregate provides the entertainment for short study breaks (if I go out to play ball or go out with friends, I can be out for hours..) or even enjoy some competition of a different sort.

All in all, I hope no one takes this too seriously and gets stressed out because it’s well not worth it. Games are to relax and have fun, not pull hairs and have breakdowns over. Let the games begin!

I forgot to mention one thing.. if anyone would like some help, I’d be more than willing to provide my services! : D

Yeah, this is exactly the reaction I expected from these people. It’s hilarious. I think I may just brag a little more and see how much hate I can boil up here.

“Brag a little more”? what happened to not bragging, and never having been bragging?

Topic: TDP4 Team Battle / Ways to earn coins, cash and exp

No, yoky, he is saying it is like it being fine to cheat on a test, if you were absent the entire week before and thus had no chance to learn the material everyone else knows, but still need to take the same test.

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Heroes of Kung Fu] banned words

Sleel, Hok has nothing against you thinking what you want to think, but when you make an account you agree to certain terms of service. You may not have read these (I know I didn’t) but they probably include something about not using profanity in chat. also Hok has every right to choose what you are and are not allowed to enter into something that they own. Don’t get so self-righteous about it, Hok isn’t telling you what to think, it is just telling you not to use profanity in its chat.

Topic: Elements / Dimmensional shield is cheating!!!!

Originally posted by Teaisgood:

Mono-Aether is a standardized deck, if you use 10 dim shields in row, you usually can’t summon monsters (you’ll need around 60-70 aether quanta.)

If you use them in a row yes, if you use them once every three turns then you have a decent supply of quanta. Also it is 50-60 not 60-70.

I have better.

Started off with a 3/31 Armagio with Deja Vu for 1 Gravity Quantum. It split off into a 3/34 Armagio with Ablaze for 1 Gravity Quantum. I PU’d it and got a 5/35 Armagio with Devourer. Needless to say, I won.

@ the “god creature” Ares, this is just silly. If this card existed, Rainbow decks with plenty of Quantum Towers and Supernovas could very easily field an Ares in no time, and it’s basically an instant kill (100 dmg). Even if the opponent had a Shard, they would only last another turn before dying. Ares is GROSSLY overpowered. A better idea for a “god” type card please see this link

he meant it to be a way over powered card, not something that the maker would realistically implement

Topic: Dream World / I'm not getting my skills?

At the beginning of the game you get 20 gems, for 16 (I believe) gems you can buy learning points. Did you buy any? Also as you level up more it yields more learning points, maybe he spent his later level than you spent yours? Finally he may have spent $ on the game to get gems and purchased learning points more than once. Any of these could give him more points in gun than you so he got the skills earlier.

yes, because it is horrible that developers make money for their hard work…

Topic: Dream World / 'This game is a failure.' Thread.

edit: apparently you can get here without starting the game through use of google, thank you Doon_Doon, rendering the whole entire post pointless, sigh.

I would like to take this moment to tell all of you people flaming the game that you are morons. what is your biggest complaint of them all? ‘there is a stupid energy system that forces me to play over and over which gives the maker $ so he doesn’t need a good game and makes the game look more popular’. well I got news here for ya, to get on the forums what must you do? start up the game! you go complain about him forcing you to log on more to play, and what are you doing? logging on of your own free will sometimes not even to play the game!so don’t call this game a failure. threads like this are where the game is successful call the game stupid say hes just trying to get money say its a failure whatever you want, but please don’t say that it is a failure at the same time as saying he is just trying to get views, and giving him views!

Topic: Kongai / >]~NEW IDEA~[<

1) learn to spell
2) using letters instead of words makes you look bad
3) this is a card game not a gba game or a tv show
4) the pokemon card game doesn’t let you do that
5) what would the pokeballish item and how easy would it be to get?
6) the pokeball was the big thing of the pokemon series and thus making a virtually identical item might be copyright infringement
7) (in my opinion) this would remove the reason to spend $ making it even harder for the developers to make the game good
8) would the person you used the “pokeball” on lose their card? if so that would make it so that new players would probably lose all there cards in a battle or two and make it so that if you started to lose there was a very good reason to just sit there and do nothing at all so the time ran out and they wouldn’t lose and if not everyone would have every card and people would figure out the most effective combo so only 5 charecters and 5 items would ever be used

Topic: Dream World / no energy

i think the main reason for energy is to make it hard to constantly pvp but the time should be moved down to about 2 minutes as 4 is enough to make it difficult to play for a decent amount of time if you aren’t leveling alot
