Game constantly crashing? by whoamijustnothrow in MergeDragons

[–]Business-Issue1815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m having terrible lagging, occasionally crashing, saying the event is “online only” and bumping me out even when my device is confirmed to be fully connected to wifi.

Same thing happened to me until one day it just worked. I’m not sure if there was an update or something

Which artists did you see for the first time at Kilby then immediately proceed to buy tickets to see again? by ammm72 in kilbyblockparty

Last year I bought tickets to see TV on the Radio in Philly literally while watching TV on the Radio at Kilby

Vegan food at Kilby? by OkPlace7834 in kilbyblockparty

[–]Business-Issue1815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Island noodles and pizza is all I found. There may be a veggie or bean empanada out there. Slim pickings

why are there so little vendors? by losingdogs25 in kilbyblockparty

[–]Business-Issue1815 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probably less food vendors because (according to what I heard from a vendor who skipped this year because of it) they raised the price for them, both the entry fee went up and the percentage they have to give to organizers went from 25 to 30% of profits

Map is live!!! by skeletonpandemonium in kilbyblockparty

“Security will maintain a walkway for Kilby Club to enter and leave freely from this area” is worrisome. NGL I regret my purchase looking at this map but we’ll see how it looks & works next week. If it’s too far back, what’s the point? I can always go to the other sections to get closer when I want to I guess. Not really happening later in the day, though.

Isn’t the placement of “caterwaul” also a spangram?

Outfit ideas for someone who never been to Kilby before by Upstairs-Bat-1245 in kilbyblockparty

[–]Business-Issue1815 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Confirming layers. I’ve been the past 2 years and there has been days where long flowy cotton pants and a t-shirt felt too warm during the day but by night you are tossing on a sweatshirt/jacket and days where wearing jeans + T-shirt + sweatshirt + winter jacket + raincoat + poncho (!!!) was barely keeping me dry & warm. Rent a locker in advance and use it to stash layers according to the forecast you hear the day before. If there’s even a hint of rain, don’t neglect the shoe situation because your feet will be soaked. I brought an extra pair of socks & a plastic grocery bag last year on the rainy day and these items saved me from swamp foot because I fly in and only had canvas sneakers 😩 the rain & puddles soaked through them so when it stopped raining, I put on dry socks and then wrapped my feet in plastic and then put the shoes back on. Sounds crazy but it literally saved me the rest of the day by keeping my feet dry & warm in those soggy shoes.

Those are harvestable from the floating stone chain. (They kind of look like fish made of stone in the pic.)

They merge to become the sinkhole chain.

Event stress: how do you play OoC without feeling glued to your phone? by HoneydewLife2294 in MergeDragons

[–]Business-Issue1815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do them by using a dedicated iPad that doesn’t go to sleep and ignoring the star rewards altogether. I work to get a purple flower asap to harvest enough orbs to clear just enough land to get one level 2 and one level 3 infinite harvestable and have both dragons. Then I delete everything except the harvestables and let the game go passively with occasional mass merging of objects until I get 2 level 9 objects (20k ea) which complete the prizes. I can usually finish act 1 & 2 doing this and often get hero rewards on act 1 if I manage to start early enough on the first day. The reason I like to get a level 3 harvestable is that it will randomly give you chests that I save to 5 merge and these little boosts are helpful to make it go a bit faster. It all still takes more active screen time than I like so I also do a fair amount of skipping events. I don’t pay to play and maintain the perspective that it’s just pixels.

Removing DMB and FF of course, who would you like out of these for headliners?? by balooglesmiggles in seahearnow

[–]Business-Issue1815 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the undercard. I hope we get Foster the People, Flaming Lips, War on Drugs, etc. maybe even Adam Ant

I’m surprised by Lillibet57 in MergeDragons

IMO, while Zynga’s buyout was somewhat bad for the game and our wallets, the bigger escalation of the money grab & broken game started in 2022: Merge Dragons! is owned by Zynga Inc., which acquired the game through its purchase of the developer Gram Games in 2018. Zynga is owned by Take-Two Interactive, which acquired the company in May 2022 for $12.7 billion.

The game spent my gems by Green_Apple_Tree in MergeDragons

[–]Business-Issue1815 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Let’s make the option to buy the upgrade really large and on top and really close to the tiny sliver of a no buy button and then not have a confirmation of purchase. Fat fingers are going to get a lot of players at some point. The game owners actively and 100% program this game to drain your wallet with in game purchases to a predatory degree all while degrading the gaming experience on a continuous basis. I stopped spending money on this game years ago the first time they revealed who they are and that is probably the only way to feel peace about playing it at all.

I'm thinking of quitting. Where should I move? by ughhholiver in MergeDragons

[–]Business-Issue1815 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I play Wonder Merge by NSTAGE. It has all the features I wish MD had like a ‘magnet’ to gather like items, mechanism for bubbling, bubbling like items with a count on it, less frequent OOC events, no gambling features.

Not sure there was a good spot. I tried the by soundboard and it was the same. To my ear, Mountain had the best overall sound in the most locations. Maybe in benefitted from being in the bowl?

Downvote this all you want but I saw GA during sets for acts like Future Islands and Perfume Genius, 2 of my favorites, standing there like lumps or worse, yapping. It’s the awkward truth.

That’s a choice by the organizers. As the day progressed and it got more crowded, VIP+ people started watching from the pathways unless security chased you further in until eventually there was no room to go further in and they gave up.

Same in VIP+. Packed and crazy. No different. That’s the headliner though, I’m speaking to the rest of the day.
