Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Automated "Save file" backup for windows 7 users

Edited my pastebin to remove the day so that it sorts automatically.
Have a couple of things to add for people using the script.
1. THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR CHROME UNLESS MODIFIED! You must make changes to the script, or to chrome to use this backup successfully if you play Anti-Idle in Chrome. I will see if I can make a Chrome version in the near future.
2. This only works if the backup script is on the same drive as your flash cookies (Almost always this is the drive that has your Windows folder on it.)

shynthrlir: Your script will only work on your computer and on that installation of windows. You removed the part that automatically detects the flash cookie dir.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Speedrun - Formal protest against removal

My first though when I saw that announcement was “Aww, I was having fun with that.”
Then my second thought was “But I hardly ever play it, so I guess it won’t be a big loss.”
My biggest problem w/ it is that I will lose my daily streak and stuff, and the progress I can make in my main savefile is much more than in a speedrun file. And I had no idea (besides quests) what the point was.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Easy Badge - Purchase Battle Arena

I had to check my calender to make sure it wasn’t April 1st.
I don’t think this is bad, I was just blindsided by three years of “this will never have badges” and then getting a badge.
Hey, I’m all for 5 points, a badge, and an entry for a game I love and play anyways.

I love Icy Gifts 2, played it 100% before badges came out. By the logic in this thread should I have been pissed about it getting badges? I don’t get it.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Frequently Asked Questions & Ask stupid questions here!

I have a question about a temporary perk. It says “Career EXP gain increased by 20%”. Does that mean the careers themselves gain 20% more EXP when I do the related tasks? Or does this mean that EXP I gain from careers (like Gem Trader giving me EXP) increase by 20%?

Does that mean you can’t get uniques any more?

Does anybody have an update list of what streaks give what rewards?

I was curious about this too so I did a little spading. After getting to 1000 streak (I’m not going any further) here are the results:
Rewards now are awarded when checkpoints are reached.
200 – Mystery Identifier
400 – Accessory Unobtanium Enhancer +1
600 – Accessory Unobtanium Enhancer +2
800 – Accessory Unobtanium Enhancer +3
(All of the above have a 2 day lifespan.)
1000 – Immortal Pendant – No lifespan, current rank required Crit 18%, HP 16% All 3 bonus colors, but they seem random.

What green bonuses should I be aiming for with my boss killing set? I can’t find a list of the green bonuses.

Oh I see. Well then either a) don’t allow the map in these areas or b) don’t stop spawns in these areas or c) stop the time too. I like stoping time, I’ve often wanted a pause button when doing the SD or SC and something explodes in my room.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Suggestions!

First I’d like to thank Tukkan for implementing the suggestions I posted before, my life is so much better because of it.
Two small, weird-ish suggestions. And one large really weird suggestion.

TukkanFCG:
I accidentaly found the log after playing about 60 games, it would have helped a lot before. Maybe put the text “Hold crontrol to show log.” on the game field? Relatedly, can the log show after the game ends? I often lose when I think I won, or at least had no idea I was about to die, and it would alleviate some frustration.

Battle Arena:
Prevent monsters from spawning if the map is opened before the first monster appears (maybe no spawns while map is open). Pretty simple here, sometimes I’m kicked to an area (like after the pyramid) and don’t want to fight there, but then get stuck by spawns. I find myself usually jumping right to the tavern to decide where I will go next, then going there.

Big suggestion: Auto-Adventure card
I was thinking about how rarely I use the quick adventures card because I often find I get adventures faster than I can use them. Perhaps it could changed to be more like the Auto-harvest. When you hit the cap, it uses one energy and gives you a small bit of exp and/or rep, but no (or few) other rewards.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Lost all of today's progress?

I use IE (only because Firefox started to lag, and Chrome does crazy stuff w/ save files).

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Lost all of today's progress?

I backup my savefile every night, so I only every loose one day at most.
Today I wanted to reset my browser because it was lagging (having flash open for a week can do that.) So I clicked Save, then Back so Anti-Idle was on the title screen. Then I closed my browser and opened it back up. When I came back to AI it gave me the daily bonus options again, and everything I had done since midnight last night was gone.
This has happened once or twice before, which is why I go to the title scren, but that didn’t seem to help. Does anyone have any idea why?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Thank you Draconi. That was the best, most extensive, most helpful, most useful thing I’ve read about the Secret Dungeon, ever.

I’ve gotten all kinds of ideas for how to improve my CHAOS battle now!

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

At level 8650 I can’t imagine your stats are too low, so that means you need to look at other things. Also, I was a lot stronger than you with just HG and a G1, so the answer isn’t really in equipment either. There are 5000 things that change how the BA works, and you aren’t giving all the crucial information, so I’ll just talk about stuff you haven’t mentioned yet.
Everyone says Rank is irrelivent, that it’s all in levels, but those people are wrong. Work on leveling up your rank so you can get more skill points (I used Smily Island because it gave good exp for it’s strength.) You will want to use skills to buff up your stats past what you can normally get. When I only had 25 ranks of Overpowered Tanker, I died much faster than when I had 50. Also, make sure you hit the stat caps (25 speed, 90% resist, 95% crit chance) but don’t go over. Those skills don’t give a good return on investment over that amount (yes, even Weapon Booster, Double Hit skill is beter.) Hitting the stat caps w/ equipment alone is almost impossible, you will need significant amounts of skills to get there. Plus, once your skills are high enough, you can drop the enhancers for those stats and use them for something else.
I killed CHAOS around your level on my first ascention, and the major turning point for me was my skills. I used HG armor and a GoS to kill him, nothing fused. But even with just the G1 and HG I still managed to take out anything in the dungeon really quickly. Enhance the HG w/ the random enhancers you get from the chests, because you won’t be using it much past the time limit (or so I’m told.)
Finally, the last key is use Super Knockback when attacking strong creatures. If you can kill things fast, or if they dont’ take normal damage (gems, aliens) then Quick Attack is the way to go. But the harder monsters, aka everything you are having trouble with, you NEED to use Super Knockback to do any significant damage. I don’t know the reason behind this, I’m sure others can elaborate, I just know it works.
I wish there was more help for newer players, hardly anyone who is in chat or the forums knows what it’s like not to play with all the toys already unlocked.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Need Battle arena help :/

Beastiary Bonus. As you level up your Beastiary, you get a bonus to XP (denoted by the +X%). At first the Beach will give less experience, but as you kill them, they will begin giving more.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Beach/Secret Beach is where the BA really slows down. You’re gonna be stuck in those areas for a long time. Probably at least till level 2500 or 3000. Level affects your stats. When you can, save up your Pixels to increase attack (buy the more expensive option, it’s a better deal), that will allow you to move to harder enemies quicker.
Your greatest foe will be the Spirits, they are much tougher than any other enemies in those areas. When you can kill them, you can move on to the next area. When you can kill them easily, you can probably idle those areas (but use a protection ring the first few times just in case.)
Around that time I started working on a couple of the raids. You should be able to do the Pyramid, (healing is an ok way to clear it at low levels.) Prehistoric and Defense Mission (with a properly enhanced wand) on Casual. Even if you can’t beat them, they will still give good drops that will allow you to beat them after several tries. Corruption is ALWAYS a good idea, because the monsters get stronger as you get stronger.
Little advice for the Defense Mission: Quick attack and heal should be all you use in that battle. You can equip Robacon because he won’t attack “DON’T ATTACK” but be sure to change your IA.
Don’t worry about ToD, Secret Dungeon, or Megaboss’s Revenge, those will be a bit later. You can try the Special Arena, but don’t expect to beat it for a while. It’s not a bad place if you just want to burn the keys for the rewards.
The rest of this is second hand info that worked well for me. I defer to more knowlegable players if their info contradicts mine.
Your armor will basically be fine until you can afford Berzerker pieces. You should craft and upgrade a Premium Sword (3) and a Super Machine Gun, then Fuse them. That will serve you well until you get enough for a Glaive (don’t bother with anything stronger than that, it’s just a waste of pixels.)
When enhancing weapons, your first priority should be to get your attack speed up to 25, don’t forget the skills and armor bonuses that can affect it too. Your second priority should be critical chance to 95%, and after that attack. (I am not sure about the stuff that can’t be enhanced w/ attack.)
Hope this helps.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

I can barely kill 0-chest CHAOS on Casual. I end up missing a lot, and eventually his damage increases so much that I can’t survive one hit. I’ve got most of my skill points in STR/DEX tab skills (aside from Dex Enhancement, 1 point there), and I’m not sure how useful some of these stats are. Can anyone give me some general advice on what would skills would help me kill CHAOS? (I have plenty of pixels to switch between farming stats and fighting stats.)

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Well then what is the point in fusing it with a bacon sword? Wouldn’t a stronger weapon or another Gold Cannon be better?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Really? Shooting bullets is a special unlisted, unspecified ability with unusual effects that is only on a single item that works differently than any other in the game?

I think you need your head examined, or your sarcasm trigger adjusted.

So if that doesn’t work, what’s the point in fusing them? Is it just to troll players? Bacon Sword isn’t very good for it’s cost.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Glad to see Bacon Sword is trending, cause I have a question about it.
I’m afraid to craft it because I dont’ want to get a non-legendary and have to make it again.
Also, I’ve heard people suggest fusing a Gold Cannon with a Bacon Sword. If I do that with the Gold Cannon as the primary, will it allow Robacon to use all his ranged skills and still not consume bacon?

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / Quick Poll (BA)

Raids Raids Raids.
I’ve recently broken into every raid, and scouring the net for information. Finding anything besides Secret and Prehistoric (that are still useful) is really rare. Also most of the raid guides use specifics, like “craft this, put X points in these skills, use this skill X times then X other.” And those things are in a constant state of flux. Having some basic information about the raids that is less likely to change (and if it does, doesn’t make the whole guide useless).
I spent a long time trying to figure out the defense mission, ToD, Special Arena, and Megaboss’s Revenge. I still don’t know everything about SC.
After that I’d say crafting, because there are 300 items you can craft, and only 5 you want to. Once people realize how much of a waste crafting is they will want a guild for it.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

I am using the Chuck Norris IA. What is “5? AI”?
Tried to do an Anti-curse run earlier today and couldn’t beat final CHAOS. Don’t know if I used a master potion, if not, that could be why.

Topic: Anti-Idle: The Game / MEGATHREAD: Battle Arena

Finally getting my first set of HG gear (Casual) and I was wondering if it’s likely I’ll be using the temps long enough that I want to enhanception them. If so, what do you suggest? (4 crit/ 1 att is my current plan).
Second, anyone know how if there is a trick to the BoD, I get him half dead then die, can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong? (Yeah, I know he’s not required, I just want to be complete.)
Finally, I can beat all the monsters in the SD fairly routinely, but even w/ an AC I can’t beat CHAOS. Anyone have any pointers?
