#988472 Fallen Sword App - Beta Information

Posted by BadPenny on 15 December 2017 - 15:05

What are the odds we will have anything reported on before the new year or even Easter? Surely since it's being actively developed you have projected dates for things and theoretical deadlines. Nothing has to be promised just a estimation on when you think. Just something to up our enthusiasm.

 

Even something as little as you might see an update in the next say 3 months.

The proposed development list is as much of a road map as we're gonna get, I'm afraid.   I can understand why as pinning down a date is difficult.  Estimates would be nice, but that brings to question is it cow time or real time.    

 

That said, I'm getting a little impatient and have started believing that the app won't come in what's left of my lifetime.

Oh ye of little faith... See, told you new content would come for the event....




#988469 GvG rework proposal

Posted by BadPenny on 15 December 2017 - 14:56

I'm 99% sure we have all of the Seasons Code in storage, yeah. It was the intent that we'd retro fit it to be a PvP event, which might be cool. Opt in, of course.

Wish it had been given a fairer shout to be honest.

~ Grim

Seasons had just begun when I took a brief break to help my husband get settled into treatment.  I remember thinking only two things wrong with it, the fact that we were automatically opted in and had to be informed we could opt out, and the random aspects of the bounty system changes.  It was gone before I returned, so I never rang in on the debates about it.  But had I done so, I would have suggested only 2 changes.  Revert the bounty system back to its existing form, and make sure everybody had the choice to opt in before commencement so that the uninterested were not inundated with multiple hits.   Other than that I think it was a fine idea.  The same could apply to GvG as well, without the bounties, of course.  

 

That said, I too have concerns about waiting for the app for some ideas.  This one, being more a tournament rather than commonplace and day to day, could be workable on a test run as a one off Global event.  Just announce a couple of weeks in advance, give a sign up deadline, and run it just so everyone can see progress is being made.  It would be a nice replacement for stale frag hunts...




#988438 10 YEAR FALLENSWORD VETERANS!

Posted by BadPenny on 15 December 2017 - 00:53

I remember you pollux.  I remember Strykes spending so much for TEQ too.  I wouldn't have been able to max stam and xp gain had it not been for his investment.   In recent times I have really missed the old days.  I was never lonely then, there was always somebody to laugh and cut up with on the chat.  I had hoped that Global chat would be as lively, but it's not so much these days, except during office hours when BG is there.

#988398 Optimal Hunting Buffs Setup For Double XP!

Posted by BadPenny on 14 December 2017 - 04:21

Weird then i guess we are spending billions of stamina to gain our gxp here in MoM. Because once your 25 levels over content you pretty much get 1 xp per mob. You are stuck in the past BP that was changed over 4 years ago. it's % of the base gxp a monster gives forever and always doesn't matter your level :).

 

https://forums.hunte...363&hl=sublevel

This is something I have never been told.  That thread was during my time away.  I didn't return to FS until late spring of 2014, and nobody has ever told me about it.   So how am I supposed to have known?

 

However, in the spirit of this event, I don't really give an iota about gxp anyway.  I'm going after the most xp for me, and I know from experience from spending years losing and regaining levels that at my level with all those fancy pots, 2 levels over that champ and I'm not getting any extra benefits....   I'm pretty sure my guild founder doesn't mind if I work on myself rather than guild standing for this event, as I contribute to the guild in more important ways.....   

 

I know I will never see EoC, but I never thought I'd break 1k either, and you can see I was wrong about that too....




#988385 FallenSword Shard Offers:

Posted by BadPenny on 13 December 2017 - 22:04

still forbidden...

 

btw has anyone figured out how to do the sidebar one  "click on sponsored content"

 

Choose a story and click continue!

 

and you have a choice of 6 different stories

 

this one has never worked for me

You just wait, the bar at the bottom will turn yellow, click continue, you get 6 shards or something like that.

if nothing happens after 30 seconds, it's broke, close it and open the next in queue.... it will probably work fine.




#988339 Optimal Hunting Buffs Setup For Double XP!

PvP prestige should be the full 10%.   you don't have to use all stored, and choosing part still gives the 10%, because time is the factor.  IMHO if you have not yet reached that threshold, you should forego using it till summer.    With the new DQ's, it doesn't take much effort to get there...

 

Also, when using pots for any event, you need to start by using a pride and a zombie brew (if you have access to SH 380 you can also get a pride) and don't forget brewing master *after these 2 pots*. once you've used all hunting pots DISABLE PRIDE ZB AND BM!   You don't want to waste a reckoning activation on them....

 

 

BM will be free on request, just send me a note. I plan to be around for most of the event.




#988281 Christmas Special Offer - Delivery Update

Posted by BadPenny on 11 December 2017 - 20:16

I agree with you but everyone is dancing around and avoiding to mention the obvious about why Christmas packs were to be delivered after Dxp. 

 

The people complaining are the ones that have put in money. These are higher value stakeholders compared to your average player. The more important a stakeholder is the more important it is to listen to them. But otherwise bunch of people have mentioned their issues about gvg or seasonal titans or even high level potions. Look where those went. Them changing the constraints of game to keep the players happy would be what you are referring to :)

I feel I donated plenty in the years before my husband died and my finances changed.  I was not in favor of this change, but I accept it as I do more often than not when Hoof makes a decision about his game.  I feel it's not about me, but all of us.   I'm happy for those that got their way in this matter.  The break in tradition makes me a little sad.  Guess I'm too old to feel comfortable with such change.....




#988250 Double XP Incoming!

Posted by BadPenny on 11 December 2017 - 12:21

Presents getting delivered on the first day of 2x event would be a good idea.. cows should have thought about it when planning the event and the offer.  :rolleyes:

Edit: presents I referred here as Xmas gift boxes and fsp too.

I surrender.  

Just gonna say this.  I have no agenda here.  I neither know nor care whether I have a present coming.  It's a little disheartening that I can't buy presents for my friends, but I'll probably farm death bloom christmas eve to send instead..... don't ask me for Christmas a week early though.  didn't work on my kids, won't work for you either.  and please, send me mine on Christmas day or Jan 6, not early.




#988222 Double XP Incoming!

That would be because a number of FS players brought up the idea on page 1. Josh and moneypants initially, it seems. Followed by Swiggity, Hiddn, and wil. The Cows are entertaining the idea, so it must mean SOMETHING to them that they can help their players as much as they can. The cows have always been opent o ideas in changing certain things if it could benefit the population of FS. This is no different.

 

Being INCONSIDERATE of the idea and completely discarding the idea completely would be the worst thing the Cows could do. If they choose not to change anything, c'est la vie. If they choose to change something, also, c'est la vie. The fact of the matter is not everyone will ever be pleased with whatever decision is made. That's just how it is. The Cows have done great thusfar, and I'm sure they'll come to the decision that would be the best for the community, whatever that may be.

 

Before now, I have only pointed out that logically, from a financial and business marketing standpoint, it makes sense that the players would have access to their FSP and the potions DURING the 2x XP event, and anyone who has ever had a hand in business will tell you the exact same thing.

The thing is that the Christmas offer was not intended to fund the 2xp event or  any other Christmas activity.  It was always a way to purchase gifts for our friends, hence the delivery date rather than an instant purchase.  Now everybody wants to flip the script, not for the good of the game, but for their own personal interests. 

 

Now this would be an interesting poll. Of the 8 or 9 that want the delivery, how many are donating?

Of the 13 or so against, how many are donating?

;-)

No, I didn't donate this year, since my husband's death, I no longer have money for games  but I feel that this particular offer should remain as it was originally intended.  Just because I'm an old woman without money to burn, doesn't mean I don't have a dog in this hunt.  If I had the cash, I'd buy a package or two for my friends, not for myself , as this is what I have always understood the Christmas offer was for.  IMHO, those that want it changed are self serving and have little concern for the community as a whole.

 

I stand by my opinion folks. If you want your 2xp hunt funded, PLAN in advance.   I bought no FSP for this year's stuff, I saved some for the occasion.  I have 5 Global chests and a punkin pie for the event.
