Topic: Kings and Legends / Get rid of first boss battles!

Originally posted by jkgames2:

no one cares about the first boss battle, you recieve no rewards, all it does is make you waste 15mins to fight the real boss. either allow rewards after first boss too or get rid of it entirely, pure waste of time. and u really cant auto and win either. just dumb.

just get rid of quests making you fight 8 people in pvp imean all the other 7 fights just waste 3hrs getting to the real fight that makes you get rewards

They can also contain 5* cards.

So you think it’s a good thing that you’re either matched with someone who doesn’t stand a chance against you, or someone who wipes the floor with you, both regardless of how well or poorly you play?

The nice thing about this game is that wins are determined by who has the better built deck, who is luckier on the draw, and who plays their cards the best. Everyone’s decks aren’t meant to counter or be countered, and everyone can win against nearly any opponent. Even if someone’s paid over 100 dollars, a free player can build a deck good enough to beat them, or just get lucky.

i think you are quite wrong on that. a free player won’t win a paying one and that is what db1 said.

I suppose I’m some sort of prodigy then? Sure, it’s harder to beat paying players, but I still win against them about a third of the time or so.

dnaimagery, you’re insane friend.

There’s no way for a free player to compete with a vip 3+, apart from massive luck or the vip player being unable to play half as well (which would translate into always doing the wrong things). Even if the free player is significantly more skilled, if the vip is 5+ he can rather safely auto-play and win the fight. That isn’t high tier strategy but the definition of p2w.

If this needs explanation, a card such as King Vel’assar (vip 5) will alone stomp an entire free player creature deck. Why? There’s no creatures that can even hurt it. Apart from using (two consecutive) damage skills he won’t ever drop. There’s no free cards that won’t get hurt and due to first strike, best range and attack interrupt when he damages anything, a card like this can’t be hurt by free play creatures.
Having 1-3 skill cards for each played vip creature won’t ever be an option due to both drawing 1 card each round.

At alchemy 35 about I suspect you might be able to craft a legendary with a month or so of playing. Maybe. (It’ll after all take 10 of the same epic or so to actually succeed since it increases exponentially with the rank, and then we’re not at the top rank cards yet.)
I’d wager that rather than the gap getting smaller, it will widen significantly. This is a fun, but not a long term game. Cash dump.

Paying only gives you a temporary boost. It’ll make you stronger than everyone else at a low level, but once you’ve been playing for a couple of weeks, free players at your level will have access to all of the cards you do. If the game was meant to make cash players untouchable, they would get things like the ability to draw twice a turn, a free godlike card daily, etc.

“The game has the option to spend money on it, that means the developers are greedy and the only way to do anything is spend money”

That is the lament of people who aren’t allowed to spend money. They are jealous of the small benefits that paying players receive, and it clouds over their eyes and makes it look like they have to pay.

I can get it, but I’m passing on it. Why would I want to play a card with a cow on it? Really…

Yeah, cool people only use cards that look cool… /sarcasm

When I first looked at him, I thought he was a two-headed cow, but there was another cow standing behind him.

i played this game (not on kong) for a while. Got to like top 50 in 2v2 and 1v1 then got irritated and quit. The gap between free and paid players is enormous in this game.

Its not one of those spend 50 bucks and you will be fine. This game rewards the whales that spend thousands.

So there were only 50 or less paying people on the original site? I think not…

Topic: Kings and Legends / Standard pack or Elite pack?

Originally posted by TheSilenT:

If you have a deck that’s all Rare or above of the cards you want, start buying Elite packs instead.

Standard pack helps fill out your collection since it’s cheaper, but when you’re just looking for Epic or Legendary cards, Elite packs are more cost efficient.

Elite packs are usually composed of 2-star cards and 1 or 2 3-star cards. Standard packs have just about the same result for me.

Topic: Kings and Legends / Battle Priestess and Battle Abbess

A creature with heroic does physical damage and has to be in the front (except for repeating crossbow captain, but he at least has to do damage) to inflict damage to grow stronger.
A battle priestess can just sit behind a wall of tanks and gain attack AND health every time she heals (which keeps the wall of tanks alive).

How are people who don’t pay going to get red star or orange other than the rewards?

I think you can find white-orange in any pack, but it just shows the most common types found in the packs under them.

Topic: Kings and Legends / tutorial issues

Originally posted by utgold:

Like the games concept and will keep playing for the moment but you just earned one star since I couldn’t find a way out of the ranking board and then when I did figure it out I had already refreshed and now I’m stuck waiting for the next time I can levy taxes since the bimbo tutorial chick wont let me move on till i do.

I agree that the tutorial tax thing is a problem, but rating the game 1/5 because you couldn’t find the “back” button and because you didn’t just follow the tutorial for a few minutes is spiteful and immature.

When you click on a mission, you can see your progress.

Topic: Outernauts / Best form of leveling new beast

Originally posted by AndrewVictor:

I’m not sure but you should add him as first member of your party (leader)
and (In the battle):simply switch it to your stronger member before using any ability or item
(that will prevent it form taking any hit)

That only works on pokemon. Exp gain (past the amount gained for just being on your team) is determined by how much damage the creature does.

Topic: Ederon Trading Card Game / Help us reach our goal!

Whatever you do, DO NOT let Kongregate add badges. Thousands of kids that think they’re “badge hunters” will swarm the game, complain that an MMO has badges, complain that you have the option to spend money, and complain because they lost, and they will rate the game 1/5.

Topic: General Gaming / Games with Permadeath

Mystery dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer is a roguelike for the SNES that was re-made with better graphics and sound, and more bonus dungeons for the DS. When you die, you lose all of your items (except for ones you put in storehouses near the beginning) and have to start all over. It’s extremely hard and laughably unfair at times, but it’s addicting.

I’m gaming and I’m offended.

But honestly I can’t stand politicians who believe that video games make a child a criminal.Was Adolf Hitler playing Cod before he came powerful?

If anything, games like that help people let out their anger and/or bloodlust.

Making more immersion for Pokemon is great and all.. but I can’t help to notice that some of the new Pokemon looks more like disfigured aliens.

Those are Elgyem and Beheeyem, they’re intended to be disfigured aliens.

In the Dragon Quest series, you save at churches.

Topic: General Gaming / Epic battle fantasy: 3 or 4?

The backup character receives the same exp and AP as the fighters, so they’re equal to the fighters. You can just pretend they’re not there if they somehow ruin the game for you.

I got mine from floor 8 the second time I completed it.

Thanks. I don’t understand why they changed it, though.

I think it’s funny when people complain about new pokemon designs as if the first and second generation pokemon are all beautiful and perfect.

If you’re going to complain about every little one you don’t like, then don’t play the game.

The point is that since after so many pokemon games and so many pokemons, the originality of the game is gone. Also, the new pokemons are worse beacuse as they do more pokemons, less ideas remain, which leads into horribly stupid pokemons.

Sure, the originality is gone, but the gameplay is constantly being improved. The large number of pokemon keeps the games from becoming stale, especially when you play against other people. If you could only compete with the first 151 pokemon, the limited amount of possible teams and strategies would become boring very quickly.
If the pokemon designs were all great, they wouldn’t be diverse. There are very few possible designs which people would consider good, and they would be of similar appearance and type.

The search bar’s only results are games for anything I type in. Is there any way I can search for threads and profiles?
