  1. you got yourself a pretty good heat build with those. Not bad at all.
  2. I rolled the dice and lost badly. Not a single decent L+. Ended with 12 myth foods. A complete waste.
  3. the ascention relic event (which many Kong'rs missed out on) also helped elevate a lot of people who went ultra grindy that day
  4. One of those in the back of my mind things.... If a weapon has damage and res drain.... Does the res drain happen before or after the damage is applied? Logically, one would think it would apply (technically) after since the damage would roll against the target as it is, and then the res-drain reduces around, but this game's coding often surprises me. Anyone know for sure? Reason for this is something like the new armor dissolver. It has an ok punch for an armor melter, but that backfire. but if the damage is applied after the melt, the payback point for using it comes down alot.
  5. R4. Its not too hard to get there, only have to dodge a limited number of wallet warrior wankers. You can get to R3 with just a little work for the box, but you dont have to stay there.
  6. I recommend messaging @Alexander to see if there is something he can do to help you get registered to move over
  7. Make sure you are using IE. I tried Firefox and Chrome and they didnt show the code but IE does. (IE and not Edge either)
  8. TY. Spreading the word to Kong for people to check to see if it worked for them
  9. Any update on the transfer? Success? Failure? Issues? Any news is appreciated.... well except the news that everyone's account but mine transferred and mine is forever lost.
  10. I put in to have it happen about 3 hrs ago, nothing so far, but I would wager 48hrs give or take. Nothing so far. When I tried the desktop app, it asked for my login, and it seemed to take it, but it still doesn't load anything (still has the new player button)
  11. The image on the register never appeared in Chrome, but did in IE. Thank you Alex.
  12. No it is not. I am an Electrical Engineer by degree, but 80% of my industry work has been software (15% interface, 5% HW). I have done bids from a couple of dozen $K to 8 figures. The process is the same. Its called accountability. Some times all your risks turn into unrealized opportunity, sometimes you get left hanging because you totally missed something. And sometimes the customer screws you over and PM won't go back and ask for more money because they added scope. At the end of the day, you signed off on the bid, and its your responsibility. SuperNoGo missed a lot of things in their bid. They didn't ask the right questions to the customer (Kong). They didn't build in enough schedule. They get a lot of blame.
  13. Why, yes; yes you can. Its part of risk analysis when doing a bid. I got 25 years of being an engineer under my belt, and if I fail to identify a problem going into a bid, I get blamed for not having done my job. You have a risk register that is there just for the "unseen" things, because you can't always see the future as you said, but if you don't build enough into your bid and schedule to cover the unseen, then you didn't do your job; "Failed to estimate the scope". Which is why I had naïve as part of SuperNoGo's part in this. They didn't understand fully what they were signing up for. Over promised and under delivered.
  14. Not to kick SuperNoGo while it is down, but..... 1) They are on contract by Kong, in which they are getting paid for this or 2) They are freelancing it and promised what they couldn't deliver. Either way, the mantra is under promise and over deliver, not over promise and under deliver. They simply were arrogant and/or naïve and now its coming back to bite them, and by extension all of Kong. Kong should have had something in place at least a month in advance to work through these exact issues. And Gato... well you are a victim of TS selectively moving accounts when as you say, it was 'illegal', and now your users are separated into the have and have nots. And we, the people at Kong... well, yeah we knew this was coming for a long time, and we trusted Kong to have a fix in place, and/or TS/Gato to move us like it did others if it all went south, so shame on us for being over trusting. tl;dr Lots of blame to go around on everyone.
  15. If the following is true, its the death knell for the remaining Kong players, as no Kred purchases means no money for Gato which means there is no incentive to keep the game running there. From Kong: (https://www.kongregate.com/forums/7-technical-support/topics/1933753-running-list-of-current-issues-complaints-about-the-supernova-post-flash-killswitch-switched-kongregate?page=3#posts-13565007-row) Updated #3 to update that Kong is going to update BotD so that Flash games are not selected as BotD. (citation). This implies that there is not going to be a fix implemented so that there is a way to earn flash games using SuperNova. Also, if the issue with Kred purchases and availability of premium content is linked to this same issue, that might not get fixed as well. -Pip
  16. tl;dr There is plenty of blame to go around, but in the end, it is moot. Its best that the Kong players just find a new game, because its just not worth it to start over.
  17. And lets not forget the number of Kong players that got their accounts moved over as well. Yeah, pure number wise, Kong was probably a low number of total players, but in terms of the higher ranks, way over represented. But I am just an R2-3 scrub from the 1.0 days, so what do I know, right?

  19. To be fair, I have had this talk with Alex already, and there is a case of legality of it based on the agreement TS set up with Kong regarding 'ownership' of the user data. So it might not be quite so simple from a legal stand point, regardless of how simple it is from a technical standpoint. And yeah, missing out on the relic portal sucked bigly.
  20. With fuel in the mix now, running through PVE is still limited by fuel regen, so a 5x or 10x would just alleviate the time sunk into PvE grinding, freeing time for PvP.. its not a terrible idea.
  21. For the record, Maxthon is a Chinese browser known for its security holes, including allowing anyone to get admin access to your machine through it to install malware. Be *VERY* careful if you go that route. Google "maxthon browser security issues" if you are curious.
  22. Spoiler Alert: They didn't. Kong is straight up dead right now.
