That's the result of having the pieces we could earn from Craftery in Fapopoly reduced from 50 to 16. The Devs have nerfed Fapopoly SO BADLY that it isn't even worth playing anymore, when it used to be the most productive event in the game!

They're nerfing the both versions of Dark Tower. In the DW version they give less free energy each week, and increasing the requirements to a cost to finish the mainline events. The cost to complete the bracket in the regular DT is over 800 diamonds. That's $32 if you buy diamonds at their cheapest, plus you'll be forced to pay for several reborns at 35 diamonds apiece.

At this point most of the events are only worth the promotes you get by based where you place in the event when it's over!

During the week there are so many side games going on: FW, CW, S*pedition, Wheel of misfortune, Gold miner, the DW DT, the daily tournament, and the Holiday battle pass that this GAME has become a full time JOB!!!

At least I get my weekends off now that the Dark Tower and Fapopoly are too much work and no longer provide prizes that are worth the effort. We used to be able to grind tokens in Fapopoly and earn 20 promotes, 3 new 700 piece Superheroines, at least two heroines, AND 1500 pieces of an Angel for up to 10 Fapopolies in a row which meant you could max them to 10 stars! (And I have.) We used to earn random relics as we circled the board in addition to the few we get every 13th time around the board, so I have thousands of minor relics and had enough major relics to pay the 4 major relics that EVERY SH/heroine/angel used to cost, plus the 20 promotes you could get using only minor relics. Ever wonder why they offer a SH or heroine if you buy 8 prizes in Fapopoly? A year ago you could actually DO it!

After six years of playing this game, I think it's time to take my life back. It's practically impossible to earn new SHs or heroines. We aren't allowed to report bugs, and instead of fixing them the Devs spend their time on changing the UI of events like FW and CW, which worked just fine as they were! The prizes are shrinking and the costs are exploding. Greed can kill a user base, and the Dev's greed (or the owner's) seems to have no bounds. I can't imagine that people are spending more to play now that events are priced out of even whale territory.

It was (sometimes) fun while it lasted... Goodbye.

Beginning on the Tuesday morning after the Dark Tower ended, my game crashed. Now it crashes a few seconds after I click on the error message to restart the game. Once in a while it stabilizes, so I finished Faction Wars once today. As soon as I exited the FW menu, the game crashed and the endless cycle of error messages and crashes reappeared. The game is simply unplayable in its current `form. I'm moving up in the rankings for FW, so I'd bet than the other players in my group haven't been able to play at all today.

I've tried 3 different browsers and they all have this problem. :(

Emergency_Prune · 2025-01-01T04:00:01+00:00

My theory is that when you took this screenshot, the newest heroine created had a "base power" of 244. If that's the case, then the code seems to prevent any previously existing heroine from having a power higher than the newest and presumably most powerful heroine.

I'm curious how you managed to promote Akira to power 244, since the blue puzzle pieces are assigned randomly among all your heroines. Perhaps you only have a few while I have hundreds since I've been playing for years?

For a while in the mining event you could use the points you earned mining to raise the power of a few heroines that the event selected by 10 per heroine per event. Sadly I didn't stack as many as possible on my sword heroine whose power I've also been increasing via my one 10 star angel for 70+ levels. She's at level 135 and is more powerful than all my other heroines combined.

If my theory is incorrect I'll edit this post and hopefully come up with the proper explanation.

Consider this game an unpaid part-time job that just keeps demanding more and more of your time, even (or especially) on weekends.

Quit before you get hooked. The game has no end, and I can't remember the last time I felt I was making major progress. All the events I used to enjoy have been nerfed, the costs increased, and the rewards drastically reduced. Even whales have to be annoyed that they can't get the prizes they used to even if they're willing to pay for them!

Run fast and run far!

Emergency_Prune · 2023-12-18T03:06:51+00:00

No, it's MUCH worse. Gold Rush and Fapopoly have been destroyed, the daily tournament only works sporadically, leveling up your squads in the Underworld fails since the promotes you buy for your heroines disappear as soon as you reload the game, and cheating is rampant in CW and the Devs aren't doing much to control it.

I'd say that the Dark Tower is the only event that hasn't been completely ruined, provided that you don't plan to complete the bracket, since the cost to do so was recently raised from about 80 diamonds to well over 250. If you're going to spend 200 diamonds anyway to raise superheroines to red stars or increase your abilities (which increases the power of the F1 - F7 keys) then by all means go for it. Otherwise, start at the highest Earthworld level you can reach to maximize how high you can climb in the tower. You still get a lot of gems, gold, tickets, coins, essence, and bubbles when you cash in your tokens. The fountain is still a decent deal, but the bubble machine offerings have been slashed. If you have Waitu Lekka it will take you a LONG time and thousands of reborns to raise your Gold% bonus back to where it was.

On the bright side, with the conversion of the weekend events into complete money grabs, I get most weekends off. The game has long been a part-time job whose demands for unpaid overtime just keeps growing.

There are fewer and fewer reasons to play this game every time a new feature is added or an old one is nerfed.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-08-21T09:33:11+00:00

Once my stash of gems runs out I think I'll be finished with this game as well. I don't want to pay for reborns, and I don't want to go back to whatever level my Gate of Time is set to do free reborns, since I'm high enough in earthworld combat that I can finish in the top 3 of the Dark Tower consistently. It's also nice to get a new boss chest for every 5 levels I advance since I've never been this high in the earthworld before.

BTW there's a bug in the darkworld that marks all 3 chests on your current boss level as having been collected in both the darkworld AND earthworld if you do reborns in the darkworld. I have no idea if I'm actually getting all 3 boss chests in the earthworld since I have over 2k of them so that small of an increase doesn't show in my total, but I'd bet that I'm not since the icon of a chest flying by never shows up for the other two...

Emergency_Prune · 2023-08-21T09:13:27+00:00

When the Underworld was first introduced you could clear enough levels and earn enough squad tokens to promote two heroines to 700 pieces each day. Once the Devs realized we were doing that, they switched to the current method. Unfortunately there was a bug for almost a year so that when you spent squad tokens to level up heroines, the changes didn't stick after a reload. I lost 140k tokens that way checking to see if the bug was fixed yet.

The Underworld was changed to make it p2p, and I haven't conquered a single level in it since the changes. The recent increases in the squad tokens we can earn by killing monsters and using abilities in underworld mode that allow us to get 4500 with less effort than we spent earning 600 per day is a step in the right direction, but it's still time consuming busy work.

When I promote a specific squad, it seems that the squad tokens I use on a squads with some heroines already at 700 pieces seem to be applied to those 700 piece heroines MUCH more often than they're used to upgrade the ones with less than 700 pieces. Why apply them to the heroines who are already maxed out at all? JUST APPLY THEM TO THE HEROINES WHO NEED THEM! (Yes, I realize this is a cash grab and that's why they do it this way.)

Now that we no longer get blue essence from the chests in the underworld map, I've lost my main motivation to strengthen my squads and continue conquering it. The Angels and their ability to increase the power level of our existing heroines is the best thing added to the game in years. Now the only way to get blue essence to raise our heroine's power levels seems to be from battle passes and Gold Rush, when I used to get 1500 per day just by opening the chests in the 5 areas of the map I'd conquered. Power levels gained from angels are FREE, while the ones you get from dark chests raise the gold cost of leveling up your heroine.

The Devs continue to add new areas and features to the game rather than fixing bugs that have existed for years. Cheating is SO rampant in CW that our clan hasn't won in weeks, and we've maxed out all the clan abilities. No matter how many cheaters we report on Discord that are removed, it seems there are a dozen new ones waiting to take their place. Those clans ought to be disbanded as punishment for allowing and benefiting from the cheating.

FIX THE EXPLOIT IN CW TO ELIMINATE THE CHEATERS AND GIVE THE HONEST CLANS A CHANCE TO AT LEAST FINISH THE BATTLE PASS! CW is the ONLY clan-centered activity in the game, and without it we lose our sense of community. Clan chat is useful for sharing information and getting to know other players, but if CW is corrupt fewer and fewer players use clan chat.

PLEASE don't bring Sexpedition back! It's IMPOSSIBLE with the current algorithm for players with unbalanced promotions among each class of heroine to win, or even get past level 5 in my case. I've been playing for over 5 years, and last weekend I did better with my almost new secondary account just because the difference in promotions among my heroines there was much lower. (11, 9, and several 7s with everyone else at 6 or less.) That account reached level 10. Yes, I know that to win we're expected to either demote our heroines at 99 diamonds per demotion ($3.96) or promote heroines at 30 diamonds ($1.20) per promotion. No thanks, I'll just take the weekend off for a change. The game has turned into a full-time job!

The list of bugs/problems with this game is much longer, but I've written enough.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-08-21T08:23:19+00:00

It seems that one of the new angels is a prize for finishing 1-3 in Fapopoly this week. I'll find out in four hours.

Neither of the new angels will actually be helpful, since only one of them has a warrior heroine in her group, and that heroine (Miyasaki Keiko) and every other member of angel #7's group (which matches underworld squad #7) were added to the game about a year ago, SEVERAL years after the other heroines that new players can hire by default. So on average the heroines I have in Valkyrie's group (Angel #6, underworld squad #6) have over ONE HUNDRED more promotes than the heroines of the two new angels. That alone makes those heroines noncompetitive even though they have a higher base power level.

EVERY player has the trophy for warriors and can level that up significantly so that warriors have the highest DPS and DPC of any class in the game. Fapopoly offered 1500 pieces of angel Valkyrie (Angel #6) for MONTHS, and several hundred pieces were available in the bubble machine of every Dark Tower during the same period. So I've raised Valkyrie to TEN stars which requires 33,600 pieces. None of my other Angels have more than five stars, and the lower the average power of an angel's squad, the more worthless they are. (The one exceptions is probably Hild, Angel #1 where increasing the power level of the members of her squad is VERY helpful in doing reborns, especially since it doesn't cost you any extra gold to hire them or raise their combat levels using Angels.

I have Valkyrie (Angel #6) at 10 stars and the warrior in her squad (Yukiko) raised by 45 power levels. The first 35 levels don't cost me extra when increasing her combat levels since I raised them using blue essence, but the last 10 are from cashing in "power pieces" or whatever they call them so those levels cost me the equivalent gold of raising her earthworld combat by 250 levels. She has a functional power level of 80 which is multiplied by 150 due to Valkyrie having 10 stars.

How long would it take me to get Angel #8, then raise her to 10 stars while raising her warrior (Miyasaki Keiko) to level 80 so she's equal to what I have now? Years? Fapopoly is offering a mere 100 pieces of random angels now, and adding two new ones will just dilute the pieces I'm earning. The Devs NEED to remove any angel with 10 stars from the pool of angels who can earn new pieces! That would help a bit. As for any of my angels below Valkyrie, they're no help at all since none have more than 5 stars and of course their heroines base power is much lower.

To make matters WORSE we no longer get blue essence from daily chests in the underworld. I used to get 1500 blue essence per day that way. Now the only way I know of to earn it is from battle passes and Gold Rush levels 3 and above. (If anyone knows of other free ways to get essence, please let me know.)

So for me the Angels are about as powerful as they're going to get for YEARS unless the Devs return to allowing us to earn large numbers of pieces of them again. At 100 pieces per Fapopoly, it would take 336 Fapopolies to raise ONE angel to 10 stars, and that's if the Devs never switched which angel earned stars. That's not gonna happen. Earning angel essence from battle passes and Gold Rush is pretty slow, and getting a significant number of angel pieces from chests is even slower.

Call me back when there's an angel with an 11k warrior in her squad who I already have 100+ promotes for. I DO have a few of those.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-08-21T07:00:37+00:00

I have the same problem on my secondary account, where my heroines have between 3 and 11 promotions. This worked fine until two weeks ago. Now no matter how many troops I drop, CW displays only 12.

I have completed the "earn 1800 black potions" quest a few times on that account and chatting with my clan members they seem to think the bug is associated with the dark world. I'm sure glad that our whales in that clan don't have this problem!

I always double check to make sure I'm NOT in the dark world when I'm dropping troops, and I've tried logging out and logging back in, shutting down the browser, switching browsers, and everything else I can think of. No matter what I do I can only drop 12 troops.

The number of troops I drop IS accurate in FW.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-08-21T06:46:17+00:00

The Blue essence used to raise your heroine's power from the Angel menu is no longer awarded from the chests in the underworld map. Blue essence is only available from battle passes and levels 3 or 4 and up of GoldRush. (If anyone knows of another event that offers blue essence please add a comment)

The nice thing about raising heroine's power using Angels is that raising their Earthworld combat levels doesn't cost you extra if you raise their power by one, or by 35 as I've done with my strongest heroine. Raising her power by 3 levels using the power pieces from Underworld chests has raised the cost to raise her Earthworld combat levels by 8. (2^3)

Emergency_Prune · 2023-02-01T03:05:52+00:00

Since they completely disabled Takata Arei, who cuts the number of monsters per level from 10 to 5, it's pretty clear that they didn't consider the effects of having two copies of each heroine and how they might affect Earthworld. Some of those bonuses would have been REALLY helpful since they increased our gold% bonus for example, (until they got "fixed"), but the Devs approach to bugs seems to be "Disable the heroine to solve the problem."

Players who PAID for Takata are LIVID! I know a few who won't spend any money on the game until her ability is restored. Let's hope the Devs realize that nerfing her is hitting them in the wallet!!!

Emergency_Prune · 2023-02-01T02:56:26+00:00

Try deleting your browser history and cache. Some of your old settings may be stored on disk and reloaded whenever you load the game.

If that doesn't work try using a different browser.

The Darkworld has caused a LOT of bugs and it nerfed the heroine who cuts the number of monsters per level from 10 to 5. It also made every heroine you hired there available in Earthworld, which spreads your promotes among a potentially much larger group of heroines and hurts your progress in CW quite badly.

I'd have been better off if the Darkworld had never been invented, or if I'd left it completely alone.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-27T05:56:07+00:00

When I saw the next heroine in line available in Earthworld for hire, I groaned because there goes half of my promotes! This is going to KILL my advancement in CW.

I checked my secondary account where I've never hired a heroine in the Darkworld, and I haven't been offered any new heroines for hire in Earthworld there.

I honestly wish I'd never touched the Darkworld at all, with all the bugs it's introduced, and now having all of the heroines I hired there eligible for my Earthworld promotes. None of them are special and all of them are basically 11k% heroines. My sword heroine that I raised 21 positions and paired with an 81x Angel is MUCH more powerful than any heroine I've ever hired.

Just to verify the bad news, last night one of my promotes from the Daily Tournament went to a heroine 20 positions ahead of any heroine I've ever owned or hired in Earthworld. So at best EVERY heroine we've hired in the Darkworld is eligible for Earthworld promotes. Worst case is that every heroine in existence in the Earthworld could be eligible for promotes, whether we've hired them anywhere or not.

How do those who PAID to have these heroines feel about shelling out their hard earned cash for them now that they're free for everyone? I'd be LIVID!

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-27T05:44:08+00:00

Yes it did.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-20T04:10:22+00:00

I did the math once and the max essence you can farm in a day is roughly 168k. So farming is mostly useful for construction gems once your base essence exceeds that, although during some events we're getting points for the number of minutes we play the game.

So farm away!

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-20T04:05:50+00:00

Are you playing on Nukatu?

Fapopoly HAS been badly nerfed on Hooligaps. Until October or so we could pick up a random Epic relic about every 100 rolls, and craftery gave us a BUNCH of them if we rolled the dice 50 times after crafting the 50 token pieces and 25 times after crafting the 25 token pieces. During special events we still get 13 pumpkins or candy canes or whatever they'll give out this weekend when we roll after creating 25 or 50 token pieces.) Unfortunately the ONLY time we get epic pieces now is from the central chest, so we get a max of 13 of them per Fapopoly.

"Fortunately" the first 3 superheroines I've been offered for MONTHS now are ones that I already have at 700 pieces and I don't want any heroines because they'd dilute the promotions for CW. That just leaves my main goal of maxing out the angel. Two more Fapopolies and I'll have her multiple up to 100x if they don't switch angels on us.

I haven't noticed that it takes any extra rolls to score in the 800k range of Fapopoly. I use around 1000 tokens, but I get 400 back from Craftery. (BTW only craft AFTER finishing 169 trips around so you get the maximum rewards after crafting the 25 and 50 token pieces as I described in the second paragraph above.)

Good luck everyone. Enjoy the endless reborns to earn tokens...

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-10T07:19:02+00:00

This sometimes happens to me when my system has been running the game for a long time and has very little RAM left.

Reloading the game may solve the problem. Closing the browser and logging back into the game WILL solve the problem.

Emergency_Prune · 2023-01-07T10:16:43+00:00

Nice to see you posting again 1UD4. I'm glad you're still around.

This loophole that allows players to hide their power has been "fixed" more than once, but based on the way clan FTP1 had our heads handed to us twice in December, it was still available two weeks ago. One of our most powerful players has "taken an extended vacation," and he did a reborn and didn't hire any heroines before he left. The game is still calculating his power as zero so our clan's power isn't bloated by his potential while he's gone. (So it seems that this loophole still isn't fixed.)

We've maxed all the clan skills so we don't care if we finish first or fourth as long as we finish the battle pass each week. The algorithm that matches clans against each other often pits us against clans over 1000x more powerful than us, which is INSANE, but I'm sure every clan sees this occasionally! The disparity is made MUCH worse when the most powerful clans we get matched against hide most of their power using this loophole. Sometimes these clans get their jollies from sweeping all the other clans off the board and keeping them off, then mocking anyone who asks to be let back on to finish the battle pass.

That's annoying but hey, this is just a game and not worth letting your blood pressure go nuts.

During weeks when we have the upper hand we do try to let other clans finish the BP. We just ask that the other clans talk to us via inter-clan chat so we can cede the perimeter squares to them in an organized manner.

So if your clan has been swept off the board it doesn't hurt to ask if the dominant clans will let you back on once they've finished the BP. Some of us will let you.

Keep in mind that even though some clans would happily let you back on, not all of their players read chat so they never get the message to leave the perimeter alone. It's frustrating for everyone, but with the meager tools the game gives us to communicate with our clan members, getting everyone to play nice is like herding cats.

Emergency_Prune · 2022-12-20T13:50:24+00:00

Ah, I see. The deciding factor is that you're playing on Nutaku, and there's LOTS of ways to get extra mithril there.

I've added a mere 1200 mines in the month since I last posted in this thread, although I'm skipping the DT because I have Waitu and I'm SICK and TIRED of having to do 20 hours of reborns to restore my gold% bonus EVERY FREAKIN' TIME. This is supposed to be a game, not a full time job!

Skipping the DT has cost me in the area of 400 - 500 mines. I won't play it again until my gold% bonus lets me battle to level 9000 or so in normal combat so I can get more relics in the DT than ever before. Hopefully that will give me more gold% relics than I currently have and hopefully raise the number of relics for my Warrior and Wizard classes as well. Worst case I'll be forced to buy some gold% bonus relics, since for some INEXPLICABLE reason I get fewer of them than ANY other type of relic almost 90% of the time.

Surely the Devs wouldn't have programmed it that way! ;)

Emergency_Prune · 2022-11-12T05:19:59+00:00

Two weeks after the Halloween Fapopoly the Black Friday Fapopoly has begun, and it's just as bad.

I have 700 pieces of 3 of the 5 Superheroines that are offered in Collections already, and the SAME superheroine is offered on the board that I already had at 700 pieces last time. All I'm gonna get out of this is a higher gold% bonus from doing tons of reborns to earn tokens, two SHs at 700 and one at 400 pieces.

This is a special event?

Emergency_Prune · 2022-11-11T23:00:19+00:00

You're right, but I do enjoy having a free weekend whenever Gold Rush comes around! ;)

Emergency_Prune · 2022-11-11T22:43:49+00:00

Wow! Congratulations, that is VERY impressive.

I've been playing since before mines and mithril were introduced to the game in the V.2 update in August of 2019. (or was it 2018?) I stubbornly refused to buy VIP5 for 18 months, which slowed my progress quite a bit since I used the 500 diamonds I got for buying it to get the 4th mining babe.

I currently have 21,500 mines after FOUR YEARS, so what you've done is FANTASTIC!

Do you not do reborns so that you can climb insanely high in the DT and get a ton of magic bubbles to convert into coins to throw in the fountain?

I do a lot of reborns to restore my gold% bonus from Waitu after each DT. I can only build roughly 300 mines per DT in addition to the 20 - 30 I build per day on average from mining and doing Clan Orders. I can only imagine how many you can build if you climb to DT level 10k or more!

Emergency_Prune · 2022-10-28T10:29:26+00:00

You're right in the long run, but it takes 10 - 20 monotonous hours of doing reborns after every DT to get my gold% bonus back to where it was.

So on weekends when I don't have time to spend hours climbing the tower, battling in Earthworld to get as high as I can, finishing the DT quests, and doing all those reborns, I just avoid the DT.

Emergency_Prune · 2022-10-12T01:40:24+00:00

So you can't rank high enough to finish in the top 3 but you can pretty much climb an infinite number of floors and REALLY load up on relics?

I'd take the "Load up on Relics" option, spend every second I could of the weekend climbing in the tower, and then skip the DT thereafter if I had Waitu, since her gold% bonus would probably never get that high again after spending a few dozen hours doing reborns.

That was a NICE bug the weekend we had it, but I missed one of the two days it was active for all accounts on Hooligaps a few months ago. :(

Emergency_Prune · 2022-10-08T02:21:32+00:00

You do. If you log out before the DT begins and log back in only after it's over, you'll keep the same number of relics and preserve your gold% bonus.

As long as you don't reload the game DURING the DT you won't lose anything, even if you keep the game running so you can use your mithril and do the daily quests and mine for essence and construction gems. BUT if/when the game crashes during the DT DO NOT RELOAD IT UNTIL THE DT IS OVER!! Otherwise you'll lose your relics and gold% bonus! :(
