#931021 Content Roadmap.

Posted by Pardoux on 06 May 2015 - 21:02

Hey there Everyone.

Running a little behind with this content. Trying for tomorrow, but failing that, hoping to have it ready early next week. Figured it best to let you all know.

~ Grim

 

It's already into the 2nd half of "next week" :( - or will be, when you're back in the office again.

Are we still on for this week ?




#930551 Champions' pack

Posted by Pardoux on 01 May 2015 - 20:19

I read it initially as a composing template and thus thought it wasn't "that" good of a deal. Once I re-read it to be an extra composing SLOT, it became a very good deal and one I snapped up :)

For me, PvP will be a success when it's like EVERY other facet of the game - you CHOOSE to participate in it (be that as an instigator or as a target).

I think you need to see two separate statements here, Pardoux. The "positive" in the second sentence is not because it enables trading, but because it allows PVP to be indulged without any negatives. There has been some discussion in the forum about people avoiding certain guilds when doing prestige hits for fear of consequent retribution, and removing XP loss from 10-stam prestige hits would leave no grounds for retribution.

 

I'm not a fan of PvP (I know that may come as a surprise to some people) but swapping prestige hits with other players is, IMO, not PvP - that's collusion, something that has been STRONGLY frowned upon by the cows in the past.

 

PvP HAS to have consequences .. Otherwise, we just give free rein to those who participate in it.

 

I don't know what the answer is - hopefully the cows will - but perhaps prestige shouldn't occur unless 100 stam hits are done to discourage collusion ?

PvP (In-general)

 

2) OR is 10 stam hits going to have XP loss removed? I know EOC players would like this since we relatively trade 10 stam hits to get 10% prestige before hunts. This would also promote pvp as a POSITIVE aspect in the game which it currently is viewed as starting trouble with another player / guild (aka negative viewpoint).

 

Ummm, exactly HOW is EOC players trading 10 stam hits for prestige PROMOTING pvp ? - that's collusion, pure and simple, exploiting the system for personal gain. Also your generic use of the "WE" is incorrect and unfair to those of us that DON'T do this ...

 

OK, this happens a LOT in the game, in various aspects of the game, but I've never seen a ...

"I trade hits with other players for personal gain, so that's a positive aspect of pvp"

 

type of message before ....




#929720 Shadow Bunny Showdown & Springtime Forest

Posted by Pardoux on 24 April 2015 - 05:50

OK, now how about you compensate those who did not quite reach 15k kills? Either that or remove the bonus from all players. All I want is fairness! Those who did 15k+ kills do NOT deserve any more than those who did 5k. (Excluding top 100) If this is something you plan on doing from now on, I highly suggest you post the "6th tier" to get the bonuses, that way those who did go the extra mile are knowingly rewarded, and those who choose to not hit this bonus tier will not receive the bonus. Action is needed from the cows!!

 

Umm, no, it's not.

 

This was a BONUS reward - not part of the tiered structure.

 

If you want to receive a "potential" bonus whilst not making the top 100, do more than the bare minimum (I'm not saying you only did that but a lot did).

 

When I saw the kill count was smashed outta the park, I gave it a lil thought and realised that perhaps there may be something extra forthcoming from the cows - so I jacked up my kill count accordingly, just in case. Would I have been disappointed if there wasn't ? - No, but there was...

 

SURPRISE from the cows is the element here, not EXPECTATION ..




#929574 Shadow Bunny Showdown & Springtime Forest

Posted by Pardoux on 23 April 2015 - 03:59

I really didn't liked the random prize for 15K kills, there is only 3 kinds of players who did over 5K kills:

1 - Composers, to farm fragments.
2 - Those who tryed for Top 100 but failed.
3 - Those who just burned their stamina for no reason, because the comunnity had achieved Ruby already.

If HCS had said something like "We will give an extra Ruby Chest for those who break a hidden criteria, we will announciate when the event ends" I could swallow this easily, but giving a prize that shouldn't even exists is nonsense.

Next time please just let us know that will be a prize, don't need to say the criteria, but at least let us know the prize exists!

 

Baloney ...

 

The fun is in the fact that there WAS a surprise reward.

 

Will the cows do it again after all this moaning and groaning from players ? - who knows ? - but I'd like to think they will. I just hope they've got thick skin - they'll need it..




#929482 Shadow Bunny Showdown & Springtime Forest

Posted by Pardoux on 22 April 2015 - 01:45

Or, folk could just see it as a nice gesture from BG because we slaughtered the total requirement for this Global Event.

 

Bottom line, some you win, some you lose..

 

Remember the fubar where Forn refilled everyones stamina ? - some players got 100K+ free stamina from that, others got little to nothing. Some won, some lost.

 

The reward chests from this GE are the best they have ever been - 5K kills (or, if you prefer, 1K bunnies) got you 3 chests that would, if bought in the AH, cost at least 200 fsp each.

 

Stop complaining folks ....

So everybody with low stam banks did not work hard? Seriously? 

 

Really your comments have nothing to do with the subject. But I can certainly understand that some players are disappointed with the random number of 15K kills. And it is not fair just to say they did not work hard enough.

 

I don't think it was a RANDOM number ...

 

The initial event was 3 containers for 5K kills .... The cows have given out "bonus" awards historically for smashing the overall kill count out of the park ... this time, the overall kill count was tripled, ergo, to me at least, it seemed a reasonable guess to say that 15k kills maybe the cut-off ?

 

Did I make the cut-off ? yes - I did 15012 kills (I started late, after the event was already secured) so did what I thought was an amount that MAY get something extra. Would I have been bothered had it not have ? no.




#929227 GLOBAL EVENT REWARD

Posted by Pardoux on 19 April 2015 - 08:25

one thing that shouldnt have changed, every square you moved there was a person on it moving with you and it was a race .... just to get to the map where the LE mobs were, then u had to fight for your drops, now i remember cool moments :D

 

I remember those (good old) days ...




#929105 Triple Shard Event

Posted by Pardoux on 18 April 2015 - 02:52

1000+ FSP could really improve a players gameplay.. If only these offers were available worldwide.. They weren't available for me because of not having a cellphone.. Sad when this game is a browser game and hasn't adapted to the new digital age yet rewards those that are far better off in that realm than others...

 

I prolly made about 1500 fsp all up, and not a single one of those was in any way connected to a cellphone. Mine were earned purely watching videos and then doing the swagbucks offer.

I refuse to use bank cards / mobile numbers on ANY offer because I'm too cautious. Maybe I need to get one of those prepaid cards so that IF it gets scammed, I won't lose anymore than is on the card.

 

The gist of what I'm saying is that, the offers I did involved no use of cards / phones - they were just "normal" offers that are (or not) available to various geographic locations but with a 3x payout...




#928966 Titan Securing

Posted by Pardoux on 16 April 2015 - 21:58

Why is it about "those that hunt them" maximising their profits ?

 

What's wrong with letting supply and demand determine price ?

 

Now that BG has hinted (at least) that epics may be used in recipes to improve them, the price will surely recover any drop in price that the new buffs / quicker secures will / have cause(d)

Quite you ? LOL *passes over a dictionary ... *


#928656 Triple Shard Event

Posted by Pardoux on 15 April 2015 - 11:09

Bloody awesome event ... I'm sure folk have made a lot more FSP from it than I have, but I'm certainly not complaining ..

 

I just wonder how much this event will have hurt YOUR income - folk earning thousands and thousands of fsp's (as some have) means they're not BUYING those fsp's from you ..

 

Thank you for running it tho - even though not everyone benefitted equally (but that's never gonna happen, given ads are placed on a geographical basis)




#927788 Sneak Preview: Teleport Skill

Posted by Pardoux on 09 April 2015 - 22:09

Two questions ..

 

1. Will teleport just work on the map it's cast on, needing to be recast once you change maps ? (after all, 1 stamina to move from 1 side of the map to the other is pretty "cheap")

 

2. What will be the energy charge to cast this ?

 

Also, I agree that it shouldn't work on Titan maps until the titan has been secured. Leave this massive benefit for clearing up TKP, not securing..
