Topic: Pockie Pirates / This game is so bad

I feel this game has no place on Kongregate and should be removed.

Remove the underline for the new playlist/fav/friends indicator at the top bar

Topic: The Grinns Tale / Disconnecting when dealing too much damage

In the Grinnfinite Dungeon I constantly get disconnected in the earlier levels (as early as level 3!!). Later, I replicated it (also in GD) when using a -defence potion on an enemy: instant disconnect.

It feels like this only happens when I deal ~ > 100 damage to enemies, but not always. Usually when I use my berzerker, who has an attack of 210.

I only got one badge, wtf?

Topic: Kongregate / [Contest] Aliens vs. Colonial Marines Quest (Colonial Marines Win!)

I can’t seem to get the second badge ? – earned 0 points from alien but other badge doesn’t trigger

Topic: Kongregate / Apocalypse Nao! (Winners announced...finally!)

Confusing: What exactly do we have to do for each game to get tickets? Get all badges?

Topic: Bush Whacker 2 / JB Whacker is over?

This morning I still played the event and was at 298 / 300 badges. Now I log in and the event is already over and I can’t get full reward? #FML

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Zombies Online] Who are they trying to scam?

Two posts removed by a moderator.. What kind of censorship is this? They did not contain any content that was against the terms.

For all of you who really want to discuss these so-called free to play games should read all chapters of this blogpost:

Topic: Kongregate Multiplayer Games / [Zombies Online] Who are they trying to scam?

+4

Stealing from young kids who have no idea of the value of money is criminal. Anyone else who is sane enough would not fall to this trap.

Wow.. fail

Wow.. fail-5 / 5

Wow.. fail-5 / 5Being a longtime Kongregate member I do NOT approve of this.

Topic: Kongregate / back yard monsters.. badged... wtf greg

I’m also a bigtime badge collector on Kong. Recent badges on games that can be played with Kreds is a very very sad change to see. When I see badges like the ones on Backyard Monsters appear I actually cry a little. And I’m afraid we’re not to blame GameStop this time!

Topic: Kongregate / Game Developers become Moderators?

That does not seem entirely fair. These developers of money-hungry games like Lord Of Ages, Heroes of Gaia, Utopia Kingdoms have gained Moderator status:

http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Faffin
http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/lydias
http://www.kongregate.com/accounts/Thundergore

Does this seem fair to you? They’ll never moderate chat as other dedicated moderators.

(It would be nice to have it in the “Awards” section though.)

Nah.. I found the joker faces quite badly implemented. An award however is always nice

Topic: Kongregate / What happened to the Joker's Carnival?

Even then.. why is everything gone? No trace left..

^- Title

Suddenly the page doesn’t exist anymore and the badges on my page are gone.

Topic: Kongregate / GameStop Tyrant giftcart contest

Originally posted by Sellyme:

I really hope Kong will think twice before doing a similar contest next time.

So you’d rather they not give away any free stuff than give free stuff to everyone they can?

Remember, Kongregate is not choosing to restrict this themselves

Also, please fix the title of this thread >.<

1. Think twice: Not in the way of not doing any contest, but in how this will turn out for their playerbase.
2. What’s wrong with the thread title?
3. Kongregrate had a great deal to do in this contest. They agreed, brainstormed and coded a challenge etc etc. On the matter of enabling the card to anyone it was their fault not to see there was another valid option.

Topic: Kongregate / GameStop Tyrant giftcart contest

Thank you for all the support you’ve shown in this thread. I really hope Kong will think twice before doing a similar contest next time. Many people have been posting they were able to obtain extra cards, though I haven’t received any yet. I’d be very grateful to whoever could send me a code, and if I accidentally receive more I will announce and give those away.

Originally posted by JKuang:

I went to a GameStop store yesterday and the cards had JUST ARRIVED, so keep checking daily around noonish. The clerk was kind enough to give me some codes, and they work for anyone despite not being in the U.S. or not. Persistence, GO!

In that case, could you be so kind and share one of those codes? As you can see on my profile I’ve been collecting cards/badges & coupons since the very start, and I’d hate to be missing out.

Also I don’t get why people say it’s not Kongregate’s fault. They put up the challenge and agreed upon publishing it in the current format. Their also the first people the developer would listen to.

Topic: Kongregate / GameStop Tyrant giftcart contest

Agreed with BerenAlsgaard, Darkruler2005, Dath_Sirov, Laxaria and 123aaa789. Not being able to get the badge on your profile is one of my main reasons I’m against this “challenge”. Earlier US-only competitions did allow this by not requiring IRL stuff.

Topic: Kongregate / GameStop Tyrant giftcart contest

This is the first time a contest involved acquiring a real-life item with a clear discrimination of geolocation: U.S. Stores Only. I’m very disappointed for not being able to participate and I can only hope we won’t see these kind of contests in the future.

Since these giftcards are claimed to be ‘free’ I would appreciate it if anyone could send me a code.

Also the claim that Tyrant is “Free To Play” is complete bull. Just like many recent games there a very early point in the game that playing without paying Kreds means frustratingly short play sessions and no chance to compete against someone with a credit card.

Topic: Swords & Potions / TURN OFF LIMITED DAYS!!!!!

Originally posted by chenhsi:

Eh, I’ve seen quite a few games that are like this, F2P but you can purchase benefits, that use a turn system (get turns slowly over the day, use them for actions). They’re definitely my favorite type of F2P/Gold combo games. I’ve found that the owners can still make money easily, even without a turn limit and a small memberbase. It’s a false argument that the day limit is needed to make money.

Not being able to play in itself is already a big turnoff for many players. If it was gone the playerbase would be much bigger and players would play longer increasing the chances of spending real money on it.

Also note that many important features are still locked or become extreeeemely more difficult to obtain without kreds
