Why do players that have played this game for a period of months slate the game(?) You’re clearly not going to stop playing…

FIXED!

I assumed your first sentence was asking a question but for the life of me I couldn’t find a question mark!

Your second sentence suggests ownership of a ‘clearly’ with your usage of “Your clearly”. Since I do not believe there is such an object, that can have ownership over it, called a ‘clearly’ I have to assume you meant “You’re” or “You are”.

“Gunna” isn’t a word even by Ebonics standards/definitions. That’s just horrible.

I be butcherin the English language.

WTF?
We aren’t even getting 1st place on every pillar anymore.
Shut up

So what if I don’t? That’s my thought and I’m sticking to it.
I didn’t tell you to shut up.Don’t care if you get 1st or 9th place
that’s not the point. Just don’t like G8 okay?

Yeah, and this topic was clearly about how we all felt about g8. The entire community thanks you for your worthwhile contribution to the topic at hand.

Babbling – perhaps – already acknowledged likely due to the fact that I keep a lot of frags in storage- Forums are a place where players can vent. I simply am doing that when I was used to some gems and now with more visits don’t get what I used to get – also inquired to see if other players are experiencing the same things. I’m surprised to see you resorting to WTF and talking condescendingly Atomslaya – it doesn’t suit you.

What exactly is condescending about simply pointing out

1. your flawed logic about getting 2-3 gems a week before the patch, and
2. your straight out lie about the chest drop rate issue?

I have had the same thing happen to me numerous times. I do wish that PM would have some in-game mechanism for doing helps rather than forcing us to reload the game.

For me it can take 30-60 seconds sometimes for it to load properly too, meanwhile seeing a black screen. Eventually it has always loaded for me, it just takes a while from time to time, couldn’t really say why one would take longer than the other though.

For me I’ve been able to craft 2 gem raids since update and before I visited only 3 a day if that and would craft 2-3 a week.

Lets do the math here, so you’re saying with 3 visits a day, you got 2-3 complete gems each week?
3 * 7 = 21 visits each weak
2 * 5 = 10 gem frags each week (minimum to get 2 complete gems consistently)
3 * 5 = 15 gem frags each week (minimum to get 3 complete gems consistently)

So what you are saying is that out of 21 visits, (discounting double frags you can’t do anything with) you were lucky so that your odds of getting a gem fragment from visiting was between (10/21 =) 48% and (15/21 =) 71%?
Those are better odds than most people are getting for merely seeing a chest pop up when visiting, let alone getting a gem fragment each time and even more it being one you didn’t have 10 of yet.

Are you sure you could complete 2-3 gems each week?
_____

I’ve been able to craft gems a lot faster since the 10 free visits, now I’m able to get about 1-2 a week on average, where before it would take weeks if not months to get the correct frag to complete one. On top of that, my stock of double fragments has increased significantly too.

PM why don’t you list all changes in update notes? Is it to avoid backlash – it isn’t as if we won’t figure it out – for example when you reduced chest appearance rates. To me it just seems underhanded and suspect.

WTF are you babbling about? The one time the chance of getting a chest was significantly reduced, it was mentioned as a BUG FIX, because for some reason it was increased unintentionally in a previous patch.

pay-to-win players and pillars don’t go hand in hand. They pay to win pillars, but pillar reward what they’ve already bought, so that argument is null considering you cant get more of what they already have the most of.

So yes, while the golders will get more coupons, they’ve already spent gold to buy almost everything and if they still have some stuff to upgrade, it’s so high lvl that the chance is much lower than for non golders.
Hence the increased coupon income will have a more significant impact on smaller galaxies than on the stronger ones.

Topic: Time World / In favor of 300M starting HP

the only real “drawback” of pillars with so much hp that they stay alive for long, is that less galaxies get to claim a pillar, because pillars rotate slower and the stronger galaxies are ready to claim again by the time one goes down

and “drawback” is a pov thing, not a general fact

Topic: Time World / Bugs and Glitches

It’s just hilarious that everyone exploiting some loophole lately is claiming to be doing it out of altruism. That excuse is getting old and never was a good one to begin with.
Besides, you should’ve spammed PM’s account if the altruistic goal was to close the exploit, not TEO’s or anyone else’s.

I’ll give you a very likely scenario of what happened, first a few (well known) facts.

1. It’s better to end up 4th on all pillars than 1st on one and 7th on all the others, simple math will let you know why.
2. Stronger galaxies of course have a higher damage potential than weaker galaxies.
3. AP spent hitting pillars which doesn’t increase your galaxy rank is basically wasted ap, PvP will get most people more coupons (see other threads/posts as to why). **
4. A lot of people still don’t have 6th planet, which should be a priority for those with even a 50/50 win rate in ch13.
   ___

Now why did g12, g40, g333, … not increase their damage (as much) after the 300M patch?

They would need to spend more AP on a single pillar to place in the top 3 than before, meaning they’d have less AP left to spend on hitting other pillars, doing PvP and/or chapter missions. The economical thing for them to do is try to do just enough damage to (for instance) get 4th place on all pillars and spend the remainder of their AP on PvP (for either building or donating ore to pillar) or advancing in chapter missions getting closer to an extra planet. It’s just the smart thing to do. If you can’t reasonably achieve a regular top 3 rank it’s stupid to go for first on one pillar, just because you can, while completely neglecting what’s best for you and the galaxy. The bragging rights aren’t that great and it doesn’t get you anything, you’re actually worse off than when you’d played it smart.

- ** For the people too lazy to go find the other posts, here goes:
60 coupons = 60k ore donated to constructing lvl 3 wonder or repairng pillar. Most people will PvP for more than 60k ore against hostile/war galaxies and it also costs 2 AP. Plus you get credits and energy which provide you with funds to bid in the auction house.

So to conclude, the 300M health impacted very negatively on g12, g40, g333 (or any other lower galaxy), since they were spending more AP than before, while not really having a chance to place on the top 3 spots.

You really didn’t read what I said now did you?
The not top 3 galaxies DIDN’T spend much more AP trying to rank on pillars, they usually only spend just enough to place 4-7 depending on how many people they have on. The top 3 galaxies however more than doubled their damage output on pillars to take them down. So for whom are the 300M pillars a bad thing then exactly?

1. The top 3 that spent (more than) double the AP on pillars getting the same galaxy rewards as before?
2. The other galaxies that didn’t significantly increase their overall AP spent on pillars for the same galaxy rewards?

That’s right, nr 1 is the correct answer. Their coupons / AP spent raiding pillars was reduced far more than for nr 2.

ps. “Crying” about how weaker galaxies aren’t getting top 3 spots anymore when they’re on average doing 1/5th – 1/10th the damage a top 3 galaxy is doing is ridiculous. If the difference is that big, do you really expect the devs to devise a system to eradicate that difference?
Why would anyone bother with trying to get stronger if it doesn’t really matter in the end?

Topic: Time World / Chapter 14 rewards?

you don’t need to be anywhere near chapter 14 to know that 310 gold != a random purple item

the people that already managed to beat ch14 most likely already had all the equipment they need for their battle heroes, so I’m pretty sure none of those that got the 310 gold actually used it to buy a royal chest
upgrade books, hero lvl’s, … that what that 310 gold is going to, not a random purple item
hence it’s not a fair trade off really

However I do understand why it’s less of a hassle to just award 310 gold instead of making sure they get their royal chest, with possibly full inventories and other stuff.

When reassigning ships through the army screen, please add a “0” and “Max” button so we can easily remove all ships and add full ships to heroes.
This only requires the army screen to be made a bit bigger, but is a lot more user friendly.

You should contact savi, okm, and teo then. But they dont know what underdogs are.

You think g1, g8 and g42 just magically appeared out of nowhere with all their current members?
Forming and maintaining a top galaxy takes work, it really reflects bad on you when you act like this out of what seems to be pure jealousy. If you can’t get into one yourself, try forming one too, you’ll see how “easy” it all comes then.

I’ve had it happen once too, it’s probably a bug in the flash player, not on the server side. When refreshing it was fixed for me.

GET PILLARS HP BACK TO 150M!!!!

PM listened to this guy? HAHAHA

Do we all need to exploit the game to be heard? :)

PM didn’t just listen to sherlock here
A lot of people have posted in numerous topics that the 300M starting hp was a “tad” too much atm. 150 could be too little, we’ll see in a few days when most have adapted and things have evened out again as all pillars have started the day at 150M.
___

EDIT.1: starting hp was increased to 210m, which imho seems manageable in a day.
___

EDIT.2: SUGGESTION:

The 1 million damage cap has been in effect too long imho. Several people now solo for more than this, the top 100-200 or so players will do more damage in duo and over half the active player pool would certainly do more than 1 million in a team of 3. Yet pillar raids are designed to severely punish people for attacking with less than 3 players. How is that consistent?
Maybe instead of dropping the starting HP to 150-210M, have it at 300M, but increase the damage cap to 1.5 million.

However, if you really want to level the playing field, a total damage cap isn’t the solution, then you need to cap the damage per player in the team, e.g. 500k damage per player in the team. One could also set a system of “diminishing returns”, e.g. 1 player team = 600k, 2 player team = 1.1m (= 600k + 500k), 3 player team = 1.5m (= 600k + 500k + 400k), 4 player team = 1.8m and 5 player team = 2m.

It’s a hard decision to make, how exactly to cap damage in order to level the field a bit, I’m only offering a new way of thinking about it. Maybe the devs can come up with a solution that would improve the current system.

One final thing though, if you set a cap per player, make sure it’s reasonable or I reckon you’ll have a lot of the golders quitting. Some actually like to solo, so setting it too low would ruin their experience.

I don’t think the “even if it’s reached help limit” part is true. When the task gets 5 helps, it doesn’t allow any more visit to the planet (yes, I still have help available).

true, i hadn’t even noticed the patch notes said this
it most certainly will not give you a free visit when a certain build has already received it’s 5 helps, which imho isn’t a bad thing, you wanna know why, because there are 2 scenarios:
1) you lose 1 of your 10 helps and it thus gets wasted on a build that can’t get more help; or
2) a virtually unlimited source of free visits is made available

1) I agree on losing 1 of my 10 helps (I still should have a visit) since I am already losing my time to wait on a refresh of the game in the new tab, losing all the chat in game and in kongchat (and frankly, “nice” implementation on virtually increasing game play kong counter).
2) what???? I have 10 limited help, where is the unlimited free? This is the same as I have 56 limited ap and my guildmate has a 6th planet, which is “unlimited source of visits”.

Of course, the better implementation would be some way to tell if a help request has been fulfilled (in or out of the game).

I guess comprehensive reading in school isn’t what it used to be. You seemed to have missed the OR.

1) Either you lose 1/10 helps not helping someone and thus wasting one, but you do get the free visit.

OR

2) You do not lose 1/10 helps, but do get the free visit => Following help links that are already maxed would provide a virtually unlimited source of free visits.

Mine is sorted properly o.o

Same lol, KaRaal is going KaRazy

If you have bought all lvl 50 purple equips nothing changed prolly on the sorting of those, but if you have demon gear, bunny gear, x-mas gear and some random blue and purple equips, they’re all over the place now. It doesn’t even necessarily sort all equipment types together.
Also if you don’t believe things are sorted differently, you might wanna check where complete raid gems are sorted now.

the fact there weren’t any specifics is no real excuse, we all know what a normal expansion brings
