Looking forward to the new cards.

Topic: Games / Kongai Art in Game Mods

IT’S ILLEGAL! YOU ARE A PIRATE.

Seriously, you might have been better off not asking permission. Since you’re not selling it, they’ll probably just ask you to take it down if they notice and care enough to get in touch.

My guess is they’re probably not thrilled with the idea of artwork that they commissioned for a fee being used as clip art, but maybe they’re warm and generous and they’ll wish you good luck.

Topic: Games / Ether War

Upgrade gun, and go for triple shot early. This will allow you to gather Ether faster. Enemy upgrades are based on time, so being able to upgrade quickly is a big win.

You may want to upgrade your allies once or twice to defend the base. However, the best way to defend the base and to begin winning the game is to focus on destroying the enemy suns. By staying away from the base, you will draw most enemies to your location. As soon as you get triple shot, and can keep up with them, begin destroying the outer orbiting suns. Upgrade engine and shields as necessary to keep up with orbiting suns, upgrade cannon when possible, upgrade allies only if they are in trouble.

Smart missiles are also fairly decent, but I only got them at the very end. They might be an interesting choice instead of the triple shot.

Topic: Kongregate / Getting Banned...

Wait, wait, wait.

You guys (the moderators) aren’t answering the real question here – It says, according to this guys, “You can swear at the games but not at people.”

So as I understand it, saying the F word, the SH word, etc. are all absolutely OK, as long as you’re not using it to be offensive to another person. Which is beside the point, since if you’re insulting another user, that’s against the rules whether you use certain words or not.

Is that the correct understanding?

EDIT: I can tell we’re going off-topic here, but there’s nothing inherently bad about using those words. They are English language words, we all understand them, they’re in dictionaries, etc. Even if you prefer to avoid using ‘crass’ language, please don’t presume to tell other people how they should talk.

I reject any claim that a word is offensive simply because you say so. If I am offended by the letter ‘e’, it doesn’t make the letter ‘e’ offensive; It makes me an idiot.

Topic: Kongregate / plz Put Card Trading Into Kongai

Yes, pustulio, I really do want all the cards. Then I’ll be free to mix up my deck as much as I want. A game you are only playing for in-game rewards is a stupid game. You should play because it’s fun. If the game isn’t fun enough for you just by itself, stop playing. Me? I think that the game would be much less frustrating if I were free to pick whatever cards I wanted.

I haven’t played a single game of Kongai in about a month, I think. I just come back and do the challenges a couple times a week. But that’s a lot of effort, and as ChadMiller just said, can you imagine recommending Kongai to somebody in its current state?

“Yeah, come play random mini-games here for a month or two and then start playing! But you have to check in at least once a week or you’ll miss stuff. And you already missed a ton of stuff, by the way. You probably shouldn’t pick any starter cards, either. No, you can only do a couple challenges at a time.” The more I think about it, the dumber I feel for having stuck with it this long.

ChadMiller: Yes. Exactly.

I was playing Hyper SF2 today. You guys hear that Sirlin made it to top 8 at EVO?

Topic: Kongregate / plz Put Card Trading Into Kongai

ilk1986: See the first part of my post: What is the problem with people getting cards? Why are people so worried that players will get all the cards?

What’s the big deal if people can get the cards? I don’t really care if somebody out there farms cards and gets them in 1/2 the time. The real problem is that they would be able to get them in about 1/100 the time, because it takes so god-damned long to win cards through matches once you get 10 cards or so.

So, the upshot is:

1. In our current situation, nobody can get all the cards.

2. If you allow trading, and don’t fix the fucking drop rate, then only cheaters can get all the cards.

3. Or… fix the fucking drop rate! Trading optional. Then everyone can get all the cards. If you allow trading, cheaters will get them a little faster. Oh, well.

It’s the question that drives us.

It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

I HAVE QUADROPLE CARDS

Topic: Games / kongai

149 isn’t enough, but 151 would be too many.

Topic: Games / kongai card game

27 wins, 24 losses = 52.9% wins. That’s actually pretty close to even, and not a good argument that you don’t suck at the game. I’m not saying you do, I’m just saying you could think up a better argument, like “no u.”

Also, it’s been like an hour. I think maybe I’ll make a new “we need trading in kongai” thread now!

Topic: Kongregate / plz Put Card Trading Into Kongai

Wait. What is the problem with people getting cards? Why are people so worried that players will get all the cards?

You know what would stop people from farming for cards? Making it unnecessary. I’ll raise my hand here and say that a 10% drop rate is what I’m hoping for. Better yet, one card per 10 wins. People like having concrete goals to work towards. There is enough chance in a single game of Kongai, I don’t need an extra roll of the dice to see if I’ll get anything or not.

Also: I see no reason to exclude match-won cards from a trading system, were one implemented.

Topic: Kongregate / plz Put Card Trading Into Kongai

Can we get some trading in here?

I think maybe I’ll make a new thread for it.

Topic: Kongregate / Official Kongai storyline?

Yes.

ONCE, LONG AGO, there was an online card game known as KONGAI.

Then roleplayers, weeaboos, and fanfic writers descended upon it, and all was cast into darkness.

That’s where we’re at, now. :( Also drop rate is low.

Topic: Kongregate / Winning cards on disconnect in Kongai

But the fact that people can’t tell means that the drop rate for cards is way too low.

You’ve probably won via disconnect dozens of times, yet never received a card for them.

They should increase the card drop rate.

Topic: Games / Kongai Fan Fiction

too long; didn’t read.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongai 1.1

It appears the game was updated today. Or yesterday.

Is there a version history somewhere? Sometimes it’s hard to know what has changed.

Also, I think seeing all the updates might make some players feel happier, knowing that it’s being worked on.

Topic: Kongregate / Kongai Suggestions

The reason people play 3-card matches is because they are faster. Just what Steelsauce said. At least, this is true for me.

If I already had all the cards I wanted to use, it would be a different matter. As it is, I want to end the match as quickly as possible to minimize the time spent gaining cards. Thus, if I get off to a very bad start, I forfeit, since clawing my way back is going to be time consuming (if it’s even possible).

Also, while I can put together a decent 3-char deck at this point, I don’t really have the cards to put together a good 5-char deck right now. Which blows.

Drop rate is too low. ;_; Without the cards, I feel no sense of accomplishment and fulfillment in my life.
