Topic: Kongregate / RSS Feed for Badges broken?

Ok, I made another one. I have (had?) absolutely no knowledge on this matter, but I think I managed. Here it is:

Topic: Kongregate / RSS Feed for Badges broken?

I’m sorry, but I don’t know. I use Chrome’s RSS Feed Reader to get notifications. It worked for kongregate’s badges until recently.

Topic: Kongregate / RSS Feed for Badges broken?

I’ve been using http://feed43.com/kongregate_badges.xml for quite some time, but it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

Is there an alternative?

TIA

Topic: Technical Support / Fixed - Favorites list no longer shows all favorites

Now it’s working fine again. Am I doing something wrong? Does it just take some time before a game you added actually shows up?

Topic: Technical Support / Fixed - Favorites list no longer shows all favorites

Actually, I guess it’s not working properly. Maybe only for two favorites? I added a third one and not it’s showing only two favorites.

Topic: Technical Support / Fixed - Favorites list no longer shows all favorites

It’s working neatly for me now

Topic: Kongregate / Suggestions

There should be a direct link to Monitored Post. Like when you hover over the “Community” tab. If you’re monitoring them, it’s because you want easy access to it, right?

As for the “random button” suggestion, didn’t we have that option some time ago? This suggestion’s also on the first page on this thread. If they deactivated it, I’m guessing there’s a reason, even though it IS something good to have around.

Me, too

Topic: Technical Support / Fixed - Favorites list no longer shows all favorites

Same here. I have only two favorites, only one showing. Using up-to-date Chrome, btw, on Vista. I can see both my favorites on my profile page, though.

Topic: Kongregate / New feature "Playlist?"

I find it very useful. I used the favorites as a playlist, but there were some game that I could play again (like Edmus, which I like), but I unfavorited them so I my “playlist” wouldn’t get too large. Now I can have those two lists and I’m loving it!

Topic: Kongregate / New feature "Playlist?"

I have the option mentioned above, but also a button on the game window, close to where you rate and mark as favorite:

Topic: Kongregate / Petition: Bring back 50 comments per page

include my name on the list… it was hard to navigate through comments before… I hate that I can’t just skip to let’s say, page 50 (like 2500 comments behind), it’s even harder when you have 10 per page.

Topic: General Gaming / Arkandian Explorer: My House - Post Yours

No, jim_vierling

You get the area limited byt the thin golden frame (since the beginning of the game). So, yeah, that’s pretty much all the area, but, no, the layout is customizable. You use dig and fill tools to make the rooms (or just a big room) as you like. You put the walls, too, which is kinda boring, since you have to steal them from dungeons.

Topic: General Gaming / Arkandian Explorer: My House - Post Yours

Updated! Is the picture working now?

Topic: General Gaming / Arkandian Explorer: My House - Post Yours

Hey

I’ve playing this game for a long time and I’m wondering how other player’s houses look like. I know it’s not important at all for the game, but I guess we could share what we managed to achieve there.

EDIT: Here’s mine (final version):

Topic: Cloudstone / REQUEST: Confirm before spending Rubies!

I just accidentally hit “get new missions” and lost 3 rubies. I lost my missions as well, which were better than the ones I got. You devs have to be careful, because rubies are real money. People will start to get pissed off and won’t want to pay for more rubies. I also heard someone who lost 8 rubies for accidentally clicking on the finish contract button. Not asking for confirmation is the same as making me buy a product I just accidentally looked at, even though I wouldn’t buy it.

If I could get my 3 rubies back, I’d be a very happy man. (I’m not daydreaming that you’ll give it back, but just add the confirm button ASAP!)

Topic: Cloudstone / Petition: Add action bar slots

First of all:

short·cut
n.
1. A more direct route than the customary one.
2. A means of saving time or effort.

So when we call it shortcuts we’re assuming there is or should be a longer/harder way to get to those. But there isn’t. Thus it doesn’t save me any time because there isn’t any other way to do it. It’s more like the skills and items can be equipped. First of all, it’s totally weird and dumb that they would share those limited slots. Second and most important, there should be a longer way to use all skills and consumable items you have without having to equip them.

My suggestion is that there were a /shortcut/ key to open a menu that could look exactly like the one that pops up when you’re equipping skills/items, but instead of equipping them to slots 1-6 you’d use them immediately. Make it accessible only in places where you can fight, if needed.

EDIT: Not to mention that in the heat of the battle it’s effing hard to find and click that arrow that allows you to change the equipped item/skill.

Topic: Cloudstone / Selling prices and rarity

Obviously, those are really off.

I got an Autumn’s Armour at the arena and I have a Blooming Wand. Let’s compare:

Level: 30 (AA) X 12 (BW)
Rarity: Epic (AA) X Rare (BW)
Extra: Part of a set (AA) X … (BW)
Usefulness: Great for warriors (AA) X err… (BW)

Selling Price: Both are worth 120 gold.

And Breathy Cotton Shorts, for example:

Level: 19
Rarity: Uncommon
(nothing special to add)
Selling price: 1000 gold.

At least give us the option to trade!

Maybe it’s the rarity system that’s effed up? First thing that comes to mind is the bat tongue, which is supposed to be common, but I got only a total of 6 while I was playing.

Here’s a hint to devs: if you want ppl to pay, you should work on these issues. The energy/vigor thing was a good step (despite its downfalls…), but we’re still far from something really good. You wanna make money? You should work harder.

Topic: Kingdoms CCG / Bug Reports

I have a “Deck 9” (I think I got it from starter pack), but there’s no way I can select it. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Topic: Technical Support / Google Chrome 21.0 & save

This thread can save lives (I mean it)! It would be nice if Kongragate sticked it, at least for some time, or maybe there should be a link to this thread on a sticky post. I KNOW it’s Google’s fault, but why not? It would also reduce the amount of ppl asking about the same thing…

Topic: Technical Support / Chrome Problems

Solved.

Uninstalled Chrome and installed the stable version (I was using beta). Everything, including save files, is back to normal.

Topic: Technical Support / Chrome Problems

Hmm, this seems to be a bigger issue. All chrome sound effects are weird. But here’s an update:

I tried restarting my computer again, adobe updated itself automatically, but the issue didn’t go away…

I’ll try chrome forums, since it doesn’t seem to be specific to games or kongregate.

Topic: Technical Support / Chrome Problems

Since about an hour ago, I’ve been experiencing some problems with flash games. At first, I thought my cookies had been cleared and I’ve lost all my save files. Then, I realized the sound was glitchy, too. I checked and the cookies were still there, so I wondered what was causing all this. I tried restarting my computer and the problem remained. I tried playing a game in another game site just to test it and it also didn’t work.

When I opened the same kong games on IE, everything went on smoothly, save files included. I tried updating chrome and adobe flash player, but both were up-to-date.

I don’t know what’s causing this. Does anyone have any clues? What can I do to fix this? Please, don’t tell me to move back to Firefox—I obviously know this option, but I’m reluctant.

Topic: Technical Support / 400 Bad Request Errors

Will do! By the way, I found out I’m using Chrome’s latest beta release. I hope it’s just a temporary problem =) I’ll tell you if/when it’s solved.
