  1. I think it was a test that Tacticsoft made a while ago, with the intention of implementing it for everyone. In the end it wasnt implemented, but neither did they eliminate the characteristic to the few who had it.

    Either way, you have to see what "extra chance" means. Because if the extra chance is like hot sale days, then most likely you will only get epic legs.

  2. What?? This has to be a joke....

    We have a major problem for a "top player" who was benefited with a private agreement to divinized his main account and his alts and you want to improve the rewards to the "tops" ... please!

    Do you really think this encourages the game and is good marketing? This only increases the rift between the elite and everyone else. It´s a way of eternalizing them always on the first positions. With this method of giving the best rewards to the top is that Lyll managed to be for years on the first place. Do you really want to go back to that?

    Do you think that only paying players keep the game? Those who keep the game are the f2p who peel their asses watching ads, which is a constant inflow of money. The payer is there today and tomorrow is unknown.

    On the contrary, what needs to be done is to improve the rewards of low ranks, so that the f2p player and the noob dont leave the game and so that the p2w has an incentive not to rest on its laurels.

  3. We would have to do an off-topic topic about food and recipes. I don't eat meat, but I like good food and I´ve some recipes of my own.

    ..................

    Here it isn´t difficult to find Italian food, half of our population is descended from Italians, so pasta, sauces and pizza in all its varieties is very common. In addition, our climate is very similar to the Mediterranean climate, so the ingredients are grown very easily.

    Personally, I adore Catalan food, very well seasoned. The more fire the better.

  4. He might be a vegetarian like me, but I doubt it ...

    Whatever he eats, I could assure that he´s overweight, little gymnastics and a lot of time in front of the computer. Overweight and vision problems for sure ... in addition to oral anguish due to little person-to-person social contact.

    wait, bestplayer and poppers dont play anymore?

    Supposedly BestPlayer passed away 3 months ago. I´m not convinced that she really passed away, but Im sure that she wanted to leave the game and she did it her way. Either one thing or the other, she´s no more.

    Someone has Betsy's account, maybe Reiko or Happy Poppers himself or neither.

    Poppers main account is on Reign now, along with Gorgon ....

    Heavens! Here people change clan like change shirt! But is only a game.

  6. I guess the absence of BestPlayer hit HTK very hard. That clan can survive without Gorgon and even Happy Poppers, but the lack of Betsy is too much. I think the only one who could rebuild HTK is The Hunter (Optimus), but I don't know if he has time to do it.

    .....................

    As for Ivar, he´s Cadbunny and Cadbunny is one of the most unstable players on the game. Lately he had found some stability in Reign, because according to what they say someone was investing money on his account. I don´t know. Nor do I know if he was still piloting the acc or was someone else. What I can say is that cadbunny is totally unstable, you never know how long you can count with him.

  7. Your thread is much deeper than it seems. So much so that it exceeds the purpose of this forum.

    I'm not going to get into the bad criticism towards payers, because at some point I was also a payor and I had my personal reasons for it. At the time, the game helped me to get out of a situation of work stress, although looking at the distance now, I could have paid 10 psychologists with what I invested here.

    But the first myth is that rank 1 players are the best. That isn´t like that. I know of several rank 1 players with fabulous inventories who play terribly poorly. All their merit consists in having paid a lot (which would not be a virtue, but a cult of ignorance, in the best of cases).

    The second myth is that rank 1 players get better rewards. Definitely not! For weeks I´ve struggled to reach rank 1 on the last day. With my outdated inventory it's quite an achievement! And for what? I only get 5 epics from the weekly reward box, I've forgotten the last time I got a legy´s

    So for all this, this week I´ve decided to keep as low as possible. I'm between rank 4 and rank 3 and I feel more comfortable there. Unfortunately I can't go down to rank 15 even if I wanted to. I play with an energy troll and a free energy heat. I use the troll to go down if I go up a lot, and when I´m quite low at rank 4, I start the free energy heat.

    I haven´t bought for 9 months and I think I will never buy again, so I will surely go down the rank more and more, which is fine for me. It isn´t that I have lost the will to compete, only that I´m well aware that I can no longer compete on the high ranks, but the inner satisfaction of having mastered the habit of paying to play is my greatest reward. I feel like I´ve a gold star every week for that.

    Boxes are a very effective system of monetization used by basically every game right now 😛

    Well then I'm happy about that word "basically", because that means that not all game developers think that stimulating interest on gambling in children and adolescents is right.

    It depends on the neighborhood in which you move. If you live in a neighborhood where most people steal and you haven´t seen how the rest of the people live, you will surely think that stealing is good and normal, because "everyone does it".

    Surely, when you go to buy shoes, take a good look at what you are going to buy, try on, choose, review, ask before opening your wallet. That´s what we all do! But here people open their wallets without asking anything and without the right to return.

    Then, someday someone will take the bull by the antlers and put limits to this liveliness of game developers where 4 cats living to naturalize the interest in gambling in the minds of very young people who still lack life experience to determine what is right and what is wrong.

    What a shame that a person has studied and dedicates so many hours of work to a profession as noble as the development of a game should be (one of the best contributions that someone can make to a society), to end up making money with the bets of loot boxes. The world upside down.

    ...........................

    And I congratulate a member of this community who one day wrote "I am not going to spend my family's money on a game."

  9.  Events of Gato? And who said Gato will do daily events like is now?

    This administration was there before and at that time there were no daily events.

    Hopefully this doesn´t change and the events are better, but the truth is that we don´t know if they will do events on a daily basis.

    This same administration did bad things in the past as well. I think one of the worst was when you had to pay with gold to play pvp. The pvp wasn´t free. And if I remember correctly, there was no reward for daily visit.

  10. I agree with you. A balanced Energy build needs too many modules and there is no slot for HP plates, which is why the Energy balanced has become cannon fodder.

    That's why I built an Energy troll, it's the only way to face Phys and a certain kind of Heat.

    Phys continues to dominate the game, with a few honorable exceptions.

    .....................................

    That said, what will happen when Energy has a buff? If the improvement consists of balanced Energy being able to increase HP by 300 points, it becomes dominant. Free energy heat dies and Phys will be in trouble. I see it for my troll Energy. My troll has 3000 HP, that makes it a winner in most cases when facing Free Energy Heat and 80% of the time when facing Phys.

    So you have to be very careful when trying to correct something that is wrong, because the remedy can be worse than the disease.

    The problem here was all the advantages that were given to Phys.

     

    I think if the only way to fix this is to nerf the dual modules, then there is no solution.

    They will never nerf these modules because they are the workhorse to sell more. If dual modules are the problem, then admins will tell you to buy until you get them.

    You have to find another solution or at least request that access to the dual modules is not so difficult.

    and hackers ? i did not know that the game can even be hacked i am in rank (11 to 9) and already battle against 3  maxed mechs

    If you have read the forum, on another thread, someone asked a couple of days ago if there would be another banwave  and the admin replied that there will be a small banwave soon and a bigger one later, because they want to start the next 3x3 with fair play. ...

    Which means that:

    * The current management recognizes that there is cheating.
    * Honest and confident players will have to wait 2 more weeks for cheaters to be banned. I mean, everyone who is competing this week and next in the hope of climbing the ranking list ... well ... I don't know how to express it without making it seem offensive ... but they are truly dumb.
    * There were bans a few weeks ago, but it seems that cheating wasn´t removed at all. Therefore there is no guarantee that cheaters will disappear. So I don´t understand how there are people who still invest real money on this and believe that the competition is fair.
    * I was right, there are too many people with good items and not all are payers. In fact I was about to ask where they were giving away VIP items ... if we had to sign up for a raffle or something like that ...

    In the past there were also cheaters. And sometimes the administration took months to ban them. But before they were better identified. Now they are so scattered throughout the game and there are so many and with so many alt accounts, that there is no way.

  12. Don't be mad Manolis ... this game is a joke. Look at the one on first place now, level 83 and all divinized. It isn´t known if  is another alt account of the unnameable, the original account that changed its name and flag, or another sorcerer's apprentice.

    Don't take it seriously, it's not worth it. For weeks I've been struggling to reach rank 1 on the last day and only get epics from the reward box. So I think the lowest rank box is better even though it has 1 less item.

    The important thing is: not to be tempted to put real money here.

    But Tactisoft going bust isn't a foreign possibility since they were sinking before the transfer, anyways.

    What? Who told you that Tacticsoft was going bust? Most likely they are involved into another project. Or simply the owner decides to close the business and save the money while waiting for an opportunity.

    The pandemic and the lockdowns gave these internet site development co. a very important boom. And with the aggressive sales campaign that TS developed in 2020 (in addition to minimizing personnel expenses), they surely accumulated a lot of money.

    We also don't know exactly what GatoGames is, it could be a totally independent Co. from Tacticsoft (as they are presented) or it could be a second subsidiary Co..

    What really stands out is how these game development business (most of them) evolved from real fun sites to real businesses that exploit people's weaknesses (competitiveness, need for social acceptance and recognition, anxiety, addiction to gambling ), to collect money.

  14. It's not right, Manolis. Considering that you are an older player than me, you should act differently.

    We are all in the same boat, we are all suffering the consequences of the poor management of this game. Hopes that GatoGames would turn things around have been in vain. It's still the same shit game. Mediocre and demotivating, as you say.

    Accept defeat, you already had the battle lost. We lost a lot in this game, but at least we should keep honor and good taste ...

    F#ck! What we should do is abandon this game and let them keep cheating fools with their ambition!

    i can't explain strategy cuz lenka told me that she don't want to help other clans

    lol ... Lenka tells you what you can do and what you can't do ...? hahaha (excuse me but it's really fun to read that)😂 ...

    Tell Lenka that RAID doesn't have much to do with clans. I think Lenka is mistaken for the Clan War.

    .................

    And by the way ... I think this week you could get a perfect score if you have that new heat bomb that hits from ranks 4 to 8. Today is pretty obvious, because the only dmg I took, I would have avoided it if I had that bomb. And I think yesterday (tier 3) too.

  16. One thing is the format of the new forum and another thing is the environment of the new forum.

    I don't dislike the format, I love to change my profile picture every day! (It's the only entertaining thing I find to do here ...). But the atmosphere is like those movies of the future where everyone acts like controlled robots and nobody gets out of line. Those who try to think and get out of line are the "subversives" and their messages can be banned.

    We said that on the previous forum, some were toxic because they were publicly telling the truth that they were trying to hide from everyone, such as poor game management (which continues despite the appearance that "something is done"), bad drop rates or players who have obtained extra benefits in exchange for advertising to the game.

    Then they called us toxic, subversive, because we took out the rags in the sun that Tacticsoft / GatoGames prefers to hide. Now it seems that "toxicity" is on Discord, because Discord has no public view on the web and therefore the truth continues to be hidden.

    It seems to me that the truly toxic thing is to pretend that everything is fine, when in reality everything is quite bad (imbalances continue, there are still favorite and protected players, the drop rates are a real shit, etc. etc.).

    Someday, when people get tired of the pressure to pretend that what is happening is not happening, the issue is going to explode somewhere. There is a lot of hormone around here.

    I think you should quit the game.

    Sounds like you're wasting a lot of your time for no reward or satisfaction. 

    No. That isn´t the correct answer. The relationship between the players and the game is as if you were a citizen within a small community. You cannot hide your head in the ground like an ostrich or you will live your whole life fleeing from everywhere and not taking root anywhere.

    The correct attitude is to insist and fight to improve what you consider unfair or badly managed.

    He doesn't want to leave the game, what he wants is for the game to be a better place where things are done well. Maybe in time he will finally get what he wants or maybe not, but at least he won't back off with his tail in his legs. At least he will have tried to be heard. He´s doing his part and has no reason to leave.

    Whether is wasting his time or not is a personal view and only he knows how he feels about it. Nobody cannot think for him.

  18. By Googling, you will find a lot of information about what constitutes abuse in video games and a little less about how and where to report them. What you will also learn is that there are many loopholes about it. Most of the legislation in force in the main countries is aimed at child protection.

    Google Play will give you little help in this regard (in fact, I didn't find anything referring to poor drop rates for "loot-chests" or referring to over-advertising).

    But there are countries that have been concerned about these issues and have legislated about, such as Spain, where there is even an Office where you can direct your complaints. The important thing is that these Laws not only regulate video games developed in the country itself, but also those foreign games that penetrate the Spanish network. Find out if there is any of this in your country.

    We can only hope that in the not too distant future, and given the growing video game industry, more countries will legislate  and adhere to international agreements that limit the activity of these companies that abuse marketing and betting on loot chests through micro transactions (of which minors, by principle, should not participate).

    As long as these loopholes exist, you will remain a beggar of the administration, asking please not to abuse of their Right to marketing or manipulation of bets (for items and rewards) in games.

  19. lol ... it seems that we all want to know something here or clarify some "mystery" hidden under 5 keys.

    I also want to know ... I´ve been wondering for months if this Co. (both the previous one and the current one) complies with all the rules. In other words ... if they pay their taxes properly, if regularly make the contributions to Social Security. I would also like to know if they receive any kind of inspection or control of activities and the personnel that work here. If they have  accounting books up to date and  authorizations and certificates ... I would like to know if they have legal claims in process or have had and for what reasons.

    Anyway ... it seems that we all want to know something (each crazy with his theme ...).
