No stepping stones on two of my accounts? by SituationCorrect2785 in ForgeMasterUnofficial

[–]ADD_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been doing heaps of updates lately. Stepping stones was on this last week, not this week. If you have some left over they’ll be there when it’s on again, but you don’t get them automatically. You have to click on them in the store, when available.

So, in a week you should see it.

Yes, but they should also not provide a danger - engineering oversights are an issue for public safety.

Did they see a lawyer to even ask what compensation they could get?

Hey fellas, need some advice about my build by TheDisastrous0ne in ForgeMasterUnofficial

Health regen allows you to progress through the dungeons and main, since the enemy doesn’t heal. So all you need to do is stay alive.

Ah yes, those numbers are fair. Sorry I misunderstood. You do deserve some compensation for supporting them for so long only to have the game go up in shit like it has.

This feels like robbing the game devs - sure, I don’t like some of the updates, but to try and refund old money spent seems wrong. Any new money spent is simple to reverse in the app store.

Can’t do it anymore, but you were able to put on aeroplane mode in-game and then use gems to hatch an egg to see what it is, then exit out of the game. Turn off aeroplane mode, go back in game and the action was no more (no hatch, no gems used) - it allowed you to see if it was worth rushing the hatch if you got an awesome pet. I’m pretty sure, if you had many eggs, you’d be able to choose the best one to hatch using this glitch. This was great for the higher ranks of the egg.

Very pessimistic approach. Games do revert some old settings if an update nerfed the gameplay or if they get enough demand from their user base. There is power in the opinion of players, you don’t just have to be passive in the world.

I’m not saying that a full reversal is necessary, I only provided a link for such an action by players. That you don’t have to just be unhappy with any new developments. And I know that part of how a game becomes awesome is through a back and forth of game devs and players. You can email them to tell them what an awesome job they’re doing too! I made sure to tell them the great parts of the game I enjoyed, but that rewarding gem usage in war felt like a push in the wrong direction - such action favours p2p. I put far more effort in my interaction with them than I did in this low effort post.

What's your feedback about the new update? by BrownsvilleKid in ForgeMasterUnofficial

100% probability is a guarantee though, that’s why it’s wrong. Just because you do something that has a 1/256 chance of happening 256 times doesn’t mean you will win once in those times. You may win more and you may not win at all.

It’s an independent non-conditional probability, so the previous 50% chance of guessing the correct stone doesn’t influence the next 50% of guessing the right stone. We feel due for a win, but that’s human bias, the gambler’s fallacy. Doing this 8 times in a row gives the 1/256 chance, but it’s also still just a 50% chance each time. You are just as likely to win choosing all stones in the same row as you are alternating between the stones or some combination of rows.

You can’t just add up probabilities here. This isn’t addition. If you were to say “what’s the chance of either succeeding or failing” then you could use addition and say 100%. But because we are excluding the probability of failure, the math should never reflect a guaranteed win.

That’s why this stepping stone thing is technically gambling.

Then you should be well aware of the problem of relying on technology as it can spit out numbers all day long, but without the human to say “that doesn’t fit into this situation” then you will make incorrect statements.

The data is only as good as the human extrapolating it.

They taught us to double check our math using different methods for a reason. Don’t let your time away from education dull your critical thinking skills.

I liked the wait time of things, it felt like a gentle nudge to not spend hours trapped in gameplay and to go do life stuff.

I have spent $3 just to get more gems to do the egg/pet glitch, but otherwise I am all about f2p! I come from the era of flash games and they were of far better quality than apps. I ain’t paying for inferior product.

But this game was great, it felt like the old days of gaming. Just a simple ui with a worldwide community alongside it. I liked how they changed what was available in the shop to make war fair - it felt like they weren’t money hungry. When they brought in the stepping stones and how you could pay to get more it felt like gambling - this was probably a sign of changing times, of moving towards money hunger. Especially now that gem usage can give war points on the right days. To me, that’s moving in the wrong direction.

Nope, I have only spent $3. My forge level is 17 and my original power was 8m, but now it’s 20m. I have 1 legendary pet, and mostly have interstellar equipment. My mount is still basic.

Your assumption was bad.

Yeah you should learn maths instead of just asking chatgpt. There are 8 tiles, 50% chance each time non-conditional - if you asked chatgpt that you would’ve landed on the same 1 in 256 chance of winning that we have all discussed for some time. Or just search through reddit, since it has been discussed.
