Topic: Wartune / 1.6 Preview

If you thought clothing couldn’t get better… you were wrong,
LOL another reason to quit as Level 9 Outfits make male players look like drag queens.

Topic: Wartune / [Announcement] Wartune Server Merges 05/16 @ 10:00 PM EDT

WOW already merging S10, Hope Kong has enough sense to banish more servers from being added.

Topic: Wartune / Do you know the players of this game are gradually quitting? Can you feel it?

Originally posted by Kinly:

I have already half quit. This game is very attractive at the start but just gets boring after a while. Same task again and again, same person kills you again and again, same guild is winner again and again. Unless you have spent a decent amount of money on this game i advise you reconsider playing it. Not sure if everyone will agree now but sooner or later you will. Trust me..

I agree, Game has gotten stale, boring and repetitive even their events are just rewards for doing the same tasks we’ve done since day 1, Anything i can’t do in AFK mode I no longer bother to do other then the odd WB.

Topic: Wartune / [Guide] Patch 1.5: Part I

Events show BG and WB both at 22:00 is that an error?

Topic: Wartune / Sorry to complain, but..

I think Wartune should change it 2 (or more) fights instead of 2 wins, That way it’s more fair for lower levels and increases activity from those that think they can’t get the wins.

Topic: Wartune / Are free players important?

Yes, Free players are important as most games can’t attract enough spenders and without them the game becomes more boring due to lack of chat and less opportunities to run multi-player areas such as arena’s and dungeons, etc… when a lower player base requires you to wait for players to come on who have time to do them with you.

When a game like this one ignores them and it results in a high quit rate they will soon find their spenders will also become bored as most spenders want to play the game now and not wait to play areas that require more players to complete them.

Topic: Wartune / Is opening a ticket pointless

Yes R2 is well known for it’s lack of support.
I would file a complaint with Kong or try to reverse the payment since they won’t reply to your ticket.

Maintenance is expected to take 2 to 3 hours for the remaining servers.

Why are you confusing players with times for another sites maintenance?
Post Kongregate times only please.

If you don’t know that maintenance occurs the same time every week, I feel for you. I really do.

WOW seriously I don’t think that was unreasonable request.
Also maintenance is not the same time every week so it does mislead us.
and newer players won’t be aware of poor posting practices of terrible mods so feel sorry for all of us.

Topic: Wartune / [Activity] Wartune January Events!

That’s quite funny, I’d love see the percentage of weak players that planned a strategy to get around the BG, while this won’t affect me it still shows a flaw in R2’s “tad” unfair claim for these players when they have no option for their ores prior to the next event and it would be nice if R2 thought it out better to prevent players from quitting all the time as I’m seeing too many friends quit this game.

I’d say yes it solves the issue of some people not being able to get three kills in battlegrounds stronger players don’t get the advantage of getting both rewards cause they can get three kills. Then again maybe it’s coincidence and it just happens to be like that. One way or another thats how it’ll work out.

This.

It wasn’t designed to give players a shot at 2 boxes a day – it’s just that they realize BG can be a “tad” unfair for some players. :)

Hmmm Interesting how we weren’t given 2 ores as the BG seemed unfair for some players and yet at the moment the only way to get your box is in the BG as their isn’t another option for those players?

Topic: Wartune / [Promotion] It Pays to Consume: Kongregate

Great news for those going for the Wartune Hall of Fame, LOL

Topic: Wartune / Pros/Cons of Wartunes

Cons
10. Too much clutter on the screen, Which is most noticeable in the BG and makes the game less enjoyable to play.

Topic: Wartune / [Activity] Wartune Hall of Fame

WOW to think that the current pay to win players still have a way to go to qualify after all they have already spent, this event is pure greed from R2

I agree with the fairness but shouldn’t the event post clearly have stated this to avoid confusion for example,
The Dungeon Slayer! quest can not be redeemed if you complete the Rule the Battleground! quest as the Unrefined Ore can only be used once per day.

Topic: Wartune / [Announcement] 1/11 Wartune Emergency Maintenance @ 1:00 AM EST

various Wartune servers at 1:00 AM EST
To me that says PST is not included yet it was shut down?

Another long emergency maintenance for the same problem is ridiculous as game stability is becoming a bigger issue.

Topic: Wartune / Pls bring back afk mode for catacombs

I agree, removing it makes the catacombs an annoying and tedious process since the point and click movement sucks, If money is the issue then at least a next fight button would be appreciated so we only need one click per fight.

Topic: Wartune / r2games version of support

Not surprised R2 support has been terrible since day 1

Topic: Wartune / [Announcement] 01/09/2013 Wartune Server Maintenance

More typical stupidity from R2, All long maintenance’s should be done outside event times, I personally don’t care if other servers got the update before us if it can reduce the ridiculous update times I’d be willing to wait.

You can’t expect 100% uptime on anygame ever, Things have to be done sometimes, and if it’s to fix exploits that ruin a game, it’s well worth it.

Your Reply never addressed any of the issues i pointed out?
Where did i ask for 100% uptime or have an issue with them fixing the problem?
I simply stated that if these exploits were being used for a while then it’s not unreasonable to get time to finish the day and have maintenance start at the beginning of the new day, I never used these exploits but I am affected by not being able to complete my quests etc… and surely they were working on this problem a lot longer then the 30 minutes they gave us notice for.

Topic: Wartune / The 99 Rose Gifting Animation

Agree, no one gives a crap about this annoying feature except for the people receiving them, So only show this animation to the receiver of this gift why lag the rest of us?

What ad i didn’t notice it, I only seen a balens promotion, guess a game full of clutter makes things easy to miss, I need to find another game as R2 sucks too much clutter too much lag and too many other issues to list them all.

Beside the animated countdown bar?

Every time i look at it, it shows “[Promotion] A Little Extra Holiday Magic” and that’s what it is displaying now, Maybe they should try a more reliable messaging service called “MAIL”
