May as well get in early... it is after all 4.53PM in Eastern Australia.

Not only do I not have any bricks from my small effort yesterday.... but the 7 MILLION PLUS SE I had accrued via the bricks system have vanished.

Ummmmmm..... *insert appropriate Shakespeare quote here*

ditto on lack of Crystal attacks, although not at war. Haven't checked messages.... pets okay number-wise..... time for tea, bye all.

Cruel

I guess the main difference is that the amount of SE that can be taken is limited. Oh.. and W3 is a gentler kinder place to live

Since I know folks like to drag folks into the TC (guilty) that involves the defender either having no SE or sitting out the day. Or like in last event basically saying to hell with it and still going on a killing spree.

From my perspective, I won't be changing how I play... until I can't do anything else but twiddle me claws.

So if it is intended that Worlds 1 &2 only receive the same SE as if they were residents in W3 I see no great difference. Maybe the difference will be that W3 folks will find more appetising meals in W1 and 2 if they receive the benefits of the rules (?) in W1 and 2.

Wombat reporting:

Had a pretty uneventful three weeks.

Kills : 1258 (top 10 W3)
Potions : 314 (top 10 W3)

Clan position : 3rd

Result: 153 horde trophies and Diamond Medal (How the heck do I spend 3 HTs???)

AS spent.... about 60

SE spent... A Damn lot LOL (healies and stats )

Went from L104 to L106.

General comments:

Started with over 280 DPs and 700 APs plus 30+ duel and lesser duel potions and 25 hunters loots. I ran out of DPs (a ToD task completed for first time EVER!!) yesterday before close of event, by which time I'd done 70 winning duels for the day. As Elvenwind can attest, I come out of the corner in these events swinging like a banshee to get into top 10 and stay there.

I started on the take on all comers level (15 DPs a day) but after a while switched to the more difficult level as I saw my DPs dwindle. Now, because I know that there are guys stronger than me I expect to lose the odd fight and this happened... once or twice two times in a row. It also meant I had to pay careful attention to my health level as it appeared that when I dropped below 15% I lost the fight..... which when you have over 8K in HPs is a shock (Only those stronger than me who I avoid usually do that amount of damage to this little wombat). It also was caused by just hitting the fight button without thinking *sigh*, but hey, I's a wombat.

I also missed a couple of days, but that was a help in getting a supply of DPs up.

Tactics:

At the start, I received a message from Stistka suggesting that all Diamond horde members attack the middle rows, which I duly did until it became obvious that not all was doing to plan. I decided to just click on every square and see how Diamond was standing on that square and if less than 1% behind current leader, have at that square. If we were ahead by less than 1%, ditto. That gave me the purpose and aim. As we slipped to 4th I had my doubts and then.... well we crawled our way back.

Opponents:

The thing I liked about this was that we didn't select the opponent. It was a random generation that was based on us. To all those guys who have specialised in doing magic damage and were getting it back.. WELCOME TO MY WORLD !!!!!!! My character is a balanced character. Yes, my pets took a bashing, but never to the extent that they were killed..... three or six MBed Heal did the trick. Usually I got through at least 7 opponents before I had to heal myself and because I have a lowish constitution 3 L100 healies did the trick. Heck, I was even able to complete the ToD Magic regen task. So yes, the opponents were stronger than normal, but since I have no stand out ability the damage was not usually mind bogglingly astounding. To be honest I was more surprised a few times when I lost or won by less than 1000 damage. THAT (to me) means the system worked.

Conclusion:

Leaves the old map event in the stone age. Next time can only be better if what Miklos has said is enacted. That the opponents reflect on your character is brilliant. Now we know what to maybe expect, planning will be easier.

Finally, when the worlds do unite I expect there to be a line of guys wanting to take the wombat's pelt. Many have tried... but I still shove my plated backside in their faces as I march ever forward

Hi Miklos

Sorry for the delay.. real world events etc LOL *sigh*

YEs, I changed my password the day I first tried the beta worlds.... and since it was actually a password generated by you *grin* and stored in FF *Groan* then I can't remember it, nor did I write it down.. because I mean.. FF KNEW it *sigh*

So as a consequence, I receive the following missive when trying to log into the beta server:

"Invalid login information."

Which is not surprising in that it was based on the old password. SO... guess I just wait and see what the new-fangled beastie looks like when it goes main stream *grin*

Edit: big fingers, clumsy typist... keep on hitting upper case button rather than 'A'

This wombat has tried unsuccessfully to log in on numerous occasions. Could it have anything to do with my original name (Pelzmeister) still being used by some part of the system... ooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr would changing the password before trying to login to Beta world(s) have anything to do with it? I tried and the new password works on W3 entry, but not the new... plus.... where do I add the player number to log in? I am getting the same old page but at the beta site.

*wombat shakes head and meanders back into burrow*

Bloke takes a break... and look what happens. New events sprout up

Should have come here first to read about it of course.. but like all wombats, just charged in regardless LOL.

Now I know what the Horde medal is, although dag nab it.... two EPs after just 65 victories per day? Sheeesh *sigh*

Re:squeeze level 80+ pet

I too trained a pet for this expected task and like you used Strong Bones when required. I also had it wear a Ruby mind-stimulator from day one and put all animal skill points into 'intelligence' and just got him to level 62. Of course, I didn't actually start him til after Easter since he is an Easter Rooster, so I had the choice of either squeezing an RD or a mature pet.

From our clan forum:

"So, there goes my 172 level pet... *sigh*

Oh lookie:

"You squeezed 661500 soul-energy from the pet. (you found 10 catalyst essences)"

Ah well, ya win some, you gain a lot LOL

Next time I WILL have a low level L80+ pet, cause have already started his growth, equipped as previously stated and with AAs ready for the level boost.

Oh and I now have two pets that will grow and strengthen as they use the additional skill points from the Kennel.

Ummm anyone else notice how things sorta tie-in and relate? Sorta like the Pyramid, ain't it?

Hi E

I played a game called Tagoria, where the developers took a good game and opened up the cashcow and the game went downhill so fast as to become boring, cause the only way to win ANYTHING was to buy gold and the same applied with character development. I don't want to see this game go the same way.

There were at one stage over 20 different worlds and I still get emails from them saying that they have opened up a new world and old characters can be transferred to it. Shame really, cause the community of players was a great one.

I guess it is finding the right balance between cash and player satisfaction that developers have the greatest problem in coming to grips with, cause I can see the same thing happening here with Miklos' reply to the joined worlds.

Maybe the idea would be have a separate "race to the top" category for those who want to beat it in 24hrs, and have the rest fight over the Ruler title thereby giving the two different players different but similar goals within the one event. Oh and the RDs used in the Race component would count triple in the Ruler (*WEG*) and be listed separately.

Basically as it stands what the programers are saying is you are all equal, but this is a new way to buy stuff, so spend your SE and we'll give you rewards and if you are lucky enough to get a rewards by doing it the dumb (read cheap) way... well, aren't you a lucky cuss.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It is the PENALTIES what need to be changed. The event is not supposed to be a walk in the park, but a test of stamina (resources saved and used) and planning.

Let's be quite honest. After the first event it was patently obvious that the penalties were inadequate and didn't penalize those who used RDs as much as actually DOING the tasks. That is all the change that is required in this event. Let those who want to set records spend their way to the top, but have penalties that reflect the short cut. That is, to put it bluntly MAKE THE PENALTY FIT THE RD'd TASK!!!!

If this means that you RD 100 hunts, you are penalised 500 minutes or 8.33 hrs. 200 hunts and the penalty is 16.66 hrs. Hey guess what... the players that use Hunters Loots gain... what... over 496 and 992 minutes respectively. The squeezed pets tasks..... well, if you haven't figured out by now how to get pets squeezed and the Lvl 80 pets squeeze? Umm, wasn't that is the last RotP? And wouldn't it make sense to have a pet of that level to squeeze? or at least a newbie to replace an old one.

If this event is to become a TRUE Ruler of the Planet event, then re think the penalties, or else it just becomes a boring who-can-spend-most-so-that-ego-can-be-ignored-by-the-rest-of-us event.

Alternatively, credit those who do complete the event for 0 or1 RD. THEY are the TRUE RULERS.

And why are half of the Crystal Horde still hidden in their cave in W3. Makes completing the duel challenges drag out as I refuse to use RDs (unlike others) on things I bloody well can do!!!

And how many RDs did you use? CAuse NO EFFEN WAY DID YOU COLLECT 150 SHARDS in ONE DAY

Yes, that's right, Beholder Ltd, Wombat is still pissed at the innocuous peurile pathetic penalties that apply to the use of RDs. That 56 tasks can be completed in less than 36 hrs by the use of RDs just so that an egomaniac can buy a title...oh wait, that is the European way isn't it. BUY TITLES!!!

BAh, Humbug

Carrier,

You are getting the repeats because you may be one of few answering the questions at that time. Some folks answer the max they can and then sit back and just hunt until they need to answer another batch of questions to continue "free" hunting.

With the RotP event coming up, and I presume over 500 hunts (in total) required to finish four or five levels, the categorizing will improve. Then again, maybe not if these hunts are not in the event.

So the penalties for using the decrees still do not relate to the actual task avoided. Why am I not surprised.

Kalann, Sbart,

Since we are now allowed to retain old epic treasure chests but find a new one during the 3rd week, it may have something to do with the programming in that they were all three connected in someway, so deleting both would also have deleted the Epic Treasure Chest. Better to have the other two as freebies that risk the ire of some folks when their promised retainable Epic Treasure Chest(s) went walk about into the ether.


And are you really complaining, or just ..... pleasantly surprised at an unexpected bonus... or two.

*Wombat curls up in corner, shining equipment, licking lips in anticipation*

Good couple of changes there, too........ Also glad don't have to rid self of epic Treasure chests, cause I knows what I is saving them for WEG

But:

Idézet: Trackur - 2013.05.08. 13:25:30

But still not for ToD?

I'd say that it is a total reset... or else I will be doing nothing for the time period. Given that one reward from the RotP event reduces to a normal medal, this would also seem to confirm my opinion.

And hopefully, * wombat mounts his speechafying box* "the PENALTIES WILL BE PENALTIES, not some fetid slap on the pinkie. and there will be a 24 hour window to start the event before automation takes over."

*Wombat ponders for a second, then steps down from box and carts it back to his Burrow*

Thanks. Hatsepsut for the reply.

As for not being announced earlier....... well, was in 2013 Schedule; Our W3 clan has had it as an announcement as an upcoming event for over a month and we also have the Ruler of the Planet listed as well.

WEG, Guess some folks is in wrong world and wrong Clan

Oh yes, and this is a Wombat grinning cheekily

Idézet: Kalann - 2013.05.05. 23:37:31

Guess it also helps if a DD player has creative affinity maxed out as well if doing the odd duel.

In a month, I might only pick up 1.5 million, but that's some extra SE for building/whatever.... when Crystal buggers declare war LOL

Also gives a rest from those pesky Crystal blighters (Donors LOL) when you have a long term plan you wish to start. Besides, sometimes a day off gives one a renewed vigor for repetitive tasks.

Miklos, Thought I'd be the first to ask this question this time:

Is the Landragor event going to start as advertised? On May 9th 2013??

*wombat drops to rear paws and prays*
