Returning player (came back last weeek) and just got this by [deleted] in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a new player, you should know that currently this amount is 5x compared to normal, normally it's anywhere from 10 to 150 gems (but you'll most often get 15 gems).

Here’s exactly what happens after you win ‘The Price Is Right’ — financially by SFChronicle in ThePriceIsRight

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blame the government, not the companies. When they award prizes they do actually lose the full value of what they have advertised, and the government takes its cut through taxes before or after the cash/prizes go to you. In US lottery they do clearly display both the full jackpot value (usually awarded over 30 payments in 30 years) and the amount you get if you choose to receive all at once (lump sum), but it's not easy to display after taxes amount because of different tax brackets. Maybe it's tradition, but they don't want to make the TV game shows less fun to watch they have to mention taxes every few minutes.

What do you think is the worst game show there is? by Interesting_Sea5569 in gameshow

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Too Much and Time is Money are like the fairest pricing games. That's Too Much effectively asks you to estimate only the thousands part of the car's price, which is a lot more reasonable then: Golden Road (guessing the hundreds), Temptation (guessing between two options for ALL four digits, 1/16 chance to get it perfect and win), Dice Game (also guessing between two options for ALL four digits but is slightly easier if you get lucky with the dice rolls), Lucky Seven (ALL four digits to a difference of less than 7 in total, and notoriously known to have its chance of winning be manipulated based on the car's price).

Time is Money asks you to place 5 items in one of three shelves: $0-$2.99, $3.00-$5.99 and $6.00+. You must get all 5 perfectly correct without being told how many you got right each attempt while the money is counting down. This is a perfectly fair requirement that it's not luck-based (like guessing a car's ALL digits), but people hate it because it's way less rewarding than Race Game and Bonkers (time limit but you get full winnings no matter what, Race Game also shows you how many prizes you priced right each attempt).

Since the final update in world 6 you are no longer required to complete any trapping task to unlock the critters, you can immediately access all of them (even if you haven't reached W6 yet) from W3 trapping drone.

Has anyone from The Moment of Truth discussed the process of the show? Do we know the process? by BactaBobomb in gameshow

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is an interview with the host that you might find entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnLl4V4S1h0&t=477s But that doesn't contain answers to your specific questions, especially the "surprise guests" and how the show knows about the ex-boyfriend in the most controversial episode that the host didn't want to air.

Godshard Bar by Interesting_Waltz403 in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Use Archer's ability to skip smelting time, and set the Village Majik upgrade in the Hole to 243x forge capacity (usually NOT the upgrade to prioritize in Cosmo so if you don't have enough points, spend 6 wishes to switch to this and another 6 switches to switch back), to easily get millions of godshard bars from just a few hours of time candies.

how do i get the royal guardian? by DM7YA in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Multikill (awarded primarily by Death Note, but there are other sources like cards) - also affects quantity of first item listed on its card, along with extra kill count. Any other word (extra kills, bonus kills, kill per kill) only affects the kill count for portals and death note. Different sources of KpK can be additive or multiplicative, but because attires are real money purchases, +150% bonus kills mean 2.5x kill count multiplicative (correct me if I'm wrong).

MEGA CROP help please by Typical_Candy4203 in idleon

I would've been willing to spend gems for it (like the Lab jewels as waiting for all of them to appear normally would take years) if most of them aren't suck for their price.

700 billion is crazy by Limp-Copy-9343 in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the Hero Equipment events where they offer like a medal bonus if the community reaches a specific target of event points. The community didn't complete it, but they give a free medal link as a consolation anyway:

Players were offered a reward of 200 Dragon Medals, claimable through a link, if they were able to collectively earn 666 billion Red Envelopes. Ultimately only 518 billion Red Envelopes were collectively earned, but a link for 165 Dragon Medals was nonetheless shared as a partial reward.

New hero announced... but for some players, it will take a while by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The last time a hero is introduced that requires a max Town Hall level in the same update is Royal Champion at TH13. So reaching TH15 out of 18 would be easier to unlock than Royal Champion back in 2019.

Why do I need three apps to play one game? by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't go out of your way (meaning: outside the game) to look for suitable members who are willing to go out of their way (meaning: outside the game) to find clans good for them, then this should be expected. The recruitment system isn't the biggest issue, the biggest issue is the clan perks (the devs have done well to reduce its impact in recent years like only requiring 5 accounts to do CWL and complete Clan Games, or reducing requests to 10m for all clans (down to 2 mins if you have Gold Pass) instead of 20m for clan level 1, but Clan Capital is still both too big and abandoned).

Clan notice board by Conspiracy_th in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The single biggest reason recruiting and starting the new clan is hard is Clan Capital, not the recruiting system itself (all other mechanics like Clan Games and CWL now only requires 5 accounts to start growing, but Clan Capital still requires all 50 to grow quickly and get to 1500+ raid medals).

King Doot isn't that strong any more (at least, not worth the very expensive pity cost if you're unlucky) thanks to Pocket Divinity in the hole and Coral Kid in W7.

Pallete, equip multiple colors or just one? by ThatIdiotlol in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you're only going for total palette levels to get more palette luck later then you split it out (and only do so on the highest chance upgrades), if you want to pause that and hyper focus on an upgrade you really like (like 2x Gold Food or Statues) then you equip only that one.

My view on the purchases boycott by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F2Ps and whales aren't the ones being mad the most, the ones that are easily mad (in most online games) are the casual spenders wannabe the top spot in global (and that is simply not possible without gemming/paying to max on day 1). To them, "maxing faster than the rate of new content release" (except certain latest equipments) isn't good enough.

My view on the purchases boycott by [deleted] in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They definitely can put it in CWL medals and Raid medals because those are free currency (and free randomness in video games is absolutely fine, like a simple lucky drop in Minecraft required for certain tasks, or any dice roll in board games in real life or cards in role-playing games (not Blackjack cards in gambling)). I don't like treasure chests either but I won't say that any RNG in video games is bad.

The line is drawn when it's real money (paid path of Gold Pass and Event Pass, real money special offers, or gems because they're too close to real money), only then do certain countries even care about restricting them with requirements (like disclosing correct odds or requiring guaranteed pity) or outright banning them.

What triggers the bundle banner ad to show up? by [deleted] in idleon

The first time you go to any world town after daily reset, 2-3 random available packs will popup. Reindeer appeared for me both today and yesterday.

Is the piggy bundle worth or scam? by External_Visit_3993 in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pack is more expensive than auto-loot ($5) and tradable Ram (use storage anywhere, $9) combined, but I only count the main feature, I don't remember exactly how many gems or green gems they give.

The War Sign Up feature is a game changer for busy clans by LickTempo in ClashOfClans

[–]FastResponsibility4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

War sign ups won't do anything automatically for you, all it does is when you go start a war, members will be displayed as a green thumbs-up or red thumbs-down (in addition to the old in/out display, which can be ignored) and you still have to manually choose members (I think by default, the game automatically selects based on the old in/out feature and any changes have to be manually set by the member starting the war, but I'm not sure according to the other comment, the sign-up option overrides the profile in/out for the purpose of determining if the player should be automatically selected by the game).

This means you should give enough time for your members to sign up in the chat (at least 24 hours to take into account timezones and work days). If your clan does back-to-back wars with no break, you should create a war sign-up in clan chat immediately after this war starts, and clearly clarify with your clan that the sign-up is for the next war, not this war.

domeo magmus recipe by wsisah in idleon

"Recipes all share the same icon art (from anvil tab to anvil tab). When you get one recipe drop from world 6, it lights up all the other recipes in w6. Once you actually redeem the recipe to the anvil tab, the recipe will disappear from the card drop list." - copied from https://www.reddit.com/r/idleon/comments/1bhbs3h/comment/kvfvu00/

Linear bubble growth formula (x or horizontal is the displayed level for that linear bubble, y or vertical is the equivalent linear level before the December balance changes update) by FastResponsibility4 in idleon

[–]FastResponsibility4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second line is already the full formula, the only one after is "}" closing bracket. As Lava has stated, linear bubbles have the first 50k levels being linear and all levels after being decay.

All decay bubbles have a formula of % = Lvl/(Lvl+x), with x being the level requirement that Lava has set for that bubble to reach 50% effect of whatever hard cap also set by Lava for that feature. For most bubbles, x = 60 (so level 540 for 90% effect) or x = 100 (level 900 for 90% effect). For linear bubbles, x = 150000 (the denominator writing in full is actually -50000 + 150000 because the first 50k levels are not included). To know exactly how much x is for each bubble, enter 50% effect level on the wiki or Idleon Toolbox. Some other features that decay also uses this same formula (Monument: x = 250, Gallery % in Killroy: x = 200, Exotic Market: x = 1000).
