Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

I agree with qazz, I find entropy and dark as a duo deck really slow and not worth it. If however you want to keep the duo, take out the diss and replace it with dusk shield. Unupped diss shield is only really worth it with mono entropy decks and dusk shields have 50% miss chance.

Also I would advise against grinding against ai4, it’s not really worth it. Grind up to 1200 electrum then get a liquid antimatter or cover and cry(2700 electrum) deck, jump straight into FG grinding, ai4 is a huge jump from ai3 with much lower gain in comparison to the jump to FGs.

Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

Nah, you need the earth quanta for the lava golem. Out of everything you’re using the least death so use arsenic would be my idea. Although discord really is the best by miles.

I sometimes think that other may not know the meaning of their post.

You say nothing alike, Lets see about that,

1. The deck uses a combo of Quantum Pillars + novas.
2. The deck uses 2 Lycantrope + 5 Graboid + 2 out of 3 Forest Spirits.
3. I am sure he/she didn’t have the Arsenic so that’s why the other 2 weapons were used. (Same weapon limit).

Plus the deck bummy2 is using has to many Quantum Pillars.

About your deck you mean Pillars and not Towers, If you upgraded your Pillars to Towers then you wouldn’t need the Immo’s but even now you’re only using 2, Seems odd.

But that’s where the similarities stop. Over 1/3 of the deck is completely different so although they’re similar just to look at, they’re completely different in practice.

Yes I meant towers. The 2 immos are so I don’t have too many clogging my hand incase I don’t get to pull a phoenix early.

That’s true plus now you need creatures with high HP since these Ai3’s have so much CC.

bummy2’s Deck:

Cut some of those pillars also your deck look similar to,
PVP Graboid Rainbow

QI = 5.77

So far I’m getting 90% against AI3 and 60% against Bronze league. I may add in another couple of towers to build the fire quanta up but immoing the phoenixes usually works to give an extra 12 fire quanta and help stop denial a bit.

Topic: Elements / Rare Cards [List]

SoV barely even seems like a shard to be honest and SoR is a workable shard I suppose, I’d forgotten about that one.

Topic: Elements / Rare Cards [List]

Most of the new shards are WAY op or complete game breakers. To be honest the only three shards I like are SoG, SoD and SoSer, they’re the only three that don’t break the game or are stupendously overpowered.

You will hardly see anyone say “Shard of Divinity” as saying SoD is much more common for those who play also the card has been out for a long time. The Elements Glossary will help those who doesn’t know the elements acronyms.

I know, but if they just played without ever joining the community… It’s just a thought. It took me ages to figure out what SoSac etc meant, just because I’m not used to the acronyms.

He didn’t, he was saying he used SoD’s, he said nothing about only using them.

Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

Eventually all of them. The nightfall, then the staff, then the pendulums. After that I’d say it’s your choice but probably vamps then all the remaining life cards then finally the devourers.

Reasoning;

Nightfall gives +2/1 instead of +1/1
Staff Deals 4 damage instead of 2
Pendulums give an extra dark quanta when you play them giving you an extra 7 quanta to play with.
Vamps cost more but hopefully the upped pends will counterbalance that, it’s your choice though.
Getting the Life cards upped will lower overall cost meaning you could possibly swap a couple of pends for pillars?
Getting the devs up only increases their health so they should be done last unless they keep getting killed by thunderbolts heh.

Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

Personally I would swap 2 nightfalls and 1 dusk mantle into 1 nightfall and 2 dusk mantles.

Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

Actually I think it just got a shed load of lucky draws against me.

I didn’t know much about the arena decks as it was my first time trying it, I thought the mark was forced upon you much like the 5 creatures. Thanks for the advice anyways.

Topic: Elements / DIC (Deck Improvement Center)

It’s actually for my arena deck, the entropy mark is forced on me, as are four black dragons and an obsidian dragon. I aim it at being original and different as it suggests you do, but still with an aim I can use and that the AI would actually use (it’s wooped my ass 3/5 times.) Plus I’d like some advice about my current deck instead of just a point at someone else’s deck, it’s fine using other people’s decks but I like to try out different approaches and I know that the vets get sick of us newbies copying decks. Also, I have to have at least 35 cards in my arena deck.

EDIT:

I have double mark, 5 upped card limit and 115 health on it btw. I am willing to completely recreate it because it seems to be doing not so well against anyone but me.

EDIT2: I’ve since found you shouldn’t keep it for more than a day or two anyways so never mind, thanks anyway.

I know I have too few Entropy quanta, please don’t comment on that. But everything else I would like a bit of advice about. Obviously the idea is to throw out devourers every chance I get before pulling out as many Dragons as possible then nightmaring my dragons at all given oppurtunities. Any advice on changes/next upgrades?

Debating taking the devourers out and just upping pillars and dragons as I go along.

You missed the big picture, so I edited my post to “You can’t know for sure anyway about what they do with the money.” They most likely just won’t tell you like most companies.

I’d buy K+ in a heartbeat if it meant no more MMO badges.

You no what, no more multiplayer badges, ever, would probably be the ONLY selling point for K+ for me. $30 is a ridiculously high price for what is being offered (practically nothing) but I won’t mind as long as kong stays entirely free. The minute that you start making people pay for something that makes kongregate kongregate, I’m leaving and I’m sure I won’t be the only one. Kongregate is fantastic as it is and was even more fantastic before Gamestop bought Kong (there’s FAR too many ads nowadays.) but as they say, why fix what ain’t broken? You’re making change after change after change and to be honest it feels more like you’re pulling away from the original idea of kongregate – a platform for inde developers and more into a store, when companies start caring more about money than their customers or their staff (in this case developers) it starts to go downhill and it’s really starting to feel like kongregate care more about the business side of things than everything else. Just try not to let that become a reality.

Much love!

Add at least three more pillars, take out the immortals, add in another shield and two phase dragons.

If you feel like having a bit more fun instead of just grinding all the time, add in three quantum pillars and three mindgates and maybe a PU or two.

However in this community, I asked for a brief guide on how I should set up my first few towers and got a raging ‘OMFG why don’t you read the ing forums you ing noob, go *ing die.’ That is NOT the right attitude to have and the mentality of the players already on here have convinced me not to continue playing after the hard badge.

The first post on this thread really sums up the attitude really, ‘We don’t give a flying damn about you and if you ask for help, we still won’t give a flying damn about you.’ I understand and appreciate the request for recycling the map room, but can also understand and appreciate the viewpoints of why people are leaving them up just to spite you. I personally will be recycling mine as I don’t feel it’s fair, but maybe you should think of rephrasing your first post so that not everyone thinks ‘what a dick, I’ll leave it up just to annoy him’

Just my two cents.

were mad because the world map has 10000 squares there are like 4000 of you that means less space for tribes less outposts so small empires until no empires and then the game just gets boring
P.S. what is the point of badge hunting like really

Just thought I’d reiterate the bit about the forums I’ll point out that in SSC, a game I used to play and was relatively highly levelled in (nothing to shout about though), if someone asked me something that had asked time and time and time again and it had already been answered in the forums, or there was a guide in the forums or something similar, I’d give them the link to it and say ‘everything you need to know is in there, if you still need help after that, come back and ask.’ I never ever just snarled at them.

Yes but you could either put a nice post (and no, the OP WASN’T polite and concise, it was a jibe)

As for badgehunting, what is the point in building an empire in BYM, like really.

Exactly. We enjoy aiming for badges, it gives a certain goal and challenge in games we may not have played previously (for the more intelligent of us it does that is) and it’s much like anything with achievements. Weren’t you trying to get the achievements on BYM? Yeah…

Topic: Backyard Monsters / Suggestions for improvements/new features for the game

0) Ahh, thank you. I didn’t know that.

1) I see that yard planner two has pretty much been shot down, which is a shame because it’s one of the main points that I’m considering not continuing with this game

2) It’s repetitive and tedious and it takes long enough to irritate the living snot out of me

3) yeah, I know it’s unlikely but we can always dream eh ;)

Topic: Backyard Monsters / Suggestions for improvements/new features for the game

So I’ve not seen a topic like this on this forum yet so please put any ideas for the game you have on here. Please no flaming like, ‘they need to get rid of shiny’ or ‘they need to cut the times down’, Genuine comments only please.

My idea would be for a yard planner level 2; 1 million twigs, 1 million pebbles, 1 day to build.

The yard planner has a tab which when you click on that tab, you’re confronted by a blank yard with a scrollable menu down the side of it with all of the buildings you have available to you so that you can build your yard from scratch without having to first move everything out of the way then back again. Also on the yard planner 2, when you click something to put it down, if you have more than one, after you’ve placed one the next one should come immediately to hand.

For the next idea, make it so that if you hold a certain button (I suggest shift) while placing an item (for example; blocks) you can place more than one of them at once, if you try and place one when you have no idle workers, it’ll ask you if you want to speed up the other workers before placing it.

For the next idea, Make it so that we can upgrade all blocks at once for resources, PLEASE. If I’m going to spend shiny, it’s certainly not going to be on blocks! Make it so that you have to upgrade all available at the same time and for 1.5 times the normal price or similar, that way people would be less inclined to do it and wouldn’t be able to if they can’t afford it, but would be able to if they had the resources and didn’t want to spend half an hour upgrading them.

Last idea, although probably the least important and one I don’t really expect to see implemented; Let us buy extra yardage for resources or at least make it cheaper to buy it or a bigger increase. After buying three yardage increases I’m already starting to feel cramped but I can’t really afford to buy a lot more to give myself sufficient space. For the resources they could be an extortionate amount, 1 million for the first one, 2.5 million for the second, 4 million for the third etc.That way the shiny would still be a viable option for most people but for those on tight budgets or without a way of paying, are still inclined to play after the first map.

Any more ideas, please post!

Congrats on reaching level 65! And if you mean the cake thing, then yes. Someone else posted a picture of the drop down menu for level 65, and it had a cake, as well as some other minor changes. I would think everything with yours is normal.

Ahh thank you. I wasn’t mentioning the cake (it’s a lie) incase it was a secret heh. But it makes sense if it’s a new thing, I can’t find it anywhere outside of the drop down list.

Topic: Kongregate / So, what do you guys think about the new Kongregate layout?

I personally thought the previous was was clunky and unappealing to the eyes, the one before that was far superior to it. However this new one is probably on par with the better of those two, I like the new layout and I feel that with a few swapping arounds and making it so the badge of the day in the drop down updates properly, this layout will be the best one so far. (I have Number 3 btw.)
