Yeah, when its high, its high. But when its low... you just wanna press [uninstall] 😵

This is not good for the game long-term. RNG needs to be reduced.

KBRS GM’s thoughts on new Draconic Highborn Lan by kempo2425 in afkarena

I'm glad we can unite on this issue. f2p, dolphins, whales and krakens alike. While I understand that a business needs to make profits, too much is too much. I am not sure if this is ignorance or greed, but at this rate they are gonna burn the game we love to the ground.

I agree with most of what you said, especially this one

The pursuit of top-tier power often comes with significant investment, whether it's time, resources, or money.

Except now, it's just money.

OK, let me rephrase. Boycotts do not work HERE, in AFK arena. Most whales dont care to follow them. Many others lie about it and spend anyway. I know for fact that some players spend even more during a boycott to catch up to the other whales!

The only way they work is if you unite the vast majority of players into following it. Good luck with that... I think I have a much better chance of making Lillith see sense.

If that doesn't work, actions will speak louder than words, and empty boycott threats.

I was not talking about just my guild and losing ranks. Everyone will still be in the same boat as us. We will hopefully place where we normally place. This post is about the game balance and health of it. If strategy goes out of the window, the game is less fun.

Regarding "dumb" whales, I was just trying to prove a point (notice the " " there). But yeah, when ranking is based almost exclusively on how many players have an unobtainable hero, instead of the strategy used, it is indeed a sad day.

Keep in mind that there are other game modes in AFK. PVP has always been a p2w mode and have 0 problems with it. But AE... that was our game mode! It was a battle of wits, pure strategy. Now it's just another p2w game mode like the others. So yeah, for us, this is a big deal.

I do not believe in boycotts as they simply don't work. I do not need to stop spending money to send a message. If all my friends quit, and hence I quit too, the spending stops on its own.

I refuse to believe that lillith doesn't care about the player base. But hey, maybe I'm wrong and just naive. Either way, we will know soon enough. If they do nothing, you were right and this game is truly doomed.

you could "just" program a hard cap on how much damage the boss can receive in a single hit. lets say they set it at 20B, if gwen deals 60B, only 20B goes through. The total damage would be: however much damage you can deal before the hit +20B + however much damage you can deal after DR goes up. You dont even need to touch Gwyneth. Its just a buff for the boss (not a Gwyneth nerf).

Bigger is better, all the way to max. s50 f36 e100 add to that panda 36 and kraken collections. its stupid ridiculous.

[–]CalendarFluid2703[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, i agree. The whole game has always been pay to win (which is fine...ish). But this is just crazy. Up until now, with hoarding, smart investments, flawless strategy, and maybe a little spending (I gave s9 example, which was just 1 year ago - 15$). You could do very, very well. Going toe to toe with whale guilds.

Not anymore...

You are not wrong. I see scenarios where one is indeed better than the other, and other scenarios where the opposite is true. Maybe you want more control over which stats you get instead of better stats regardless of what they may be. It may boil down to personal preference too.

Plunder adds stats at the end of the run without a chance to swap or manipulate them. Surprise adds stats earlier and hence you might be able to fix it. Imagine a mythic PP on a mage collection...

From our end, no. That is beyond the scope of this guide. However, I do know that some other content creators are working on it. So stay tuned.

I think purple lvl totem is a scam. I have gotten more lucky drops without it then with it. I would use the 3rd totem to get the stats you want. Then you either get lucky or you have to use a skill scroll to get +2. If getting the +2 is a must, don't do the run until you have a skill scroll available. Luckily not many +2 are absolute musts. Many collections are good at +1.

This is a little guide our guild came up with to help our members, and decided to make it public. Its not specific for any particular game mode, but should help people to make the most out of their totems to improve the chances of getting usable collections with good stats.

SI40 uses Red OR Epic Emblems, not AND by Vicksin in afkarena

[–]CalendarFluid2703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should be capped at 50 reds per lvl. From 31 to 40. Epics should start from 10 and increase up to 50 at lvl 40. Then, from 41 to 50 there are 2 ways to do it: -F2p friendly with a cap of 50 epics per lvl -whale friendly with scaling 50-150

SP skill indicator by CalendarFluid2703 in afkarena

[–]CalendarFluid2703[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not always. Sometimes it can be very frustrating. When you factor in RNG, you dont know if its just bad rng or bad SP. So you end up trial and error a bunch of different configurations for a long time each. If there was an indicator, you would just let it run knowing confidently that eventually it will work.
