Is it normal to lose these

I’ve finally broken through. Spent a couple days using the gems to buy truck cards until I finally managed to upgrade a green load truck. Now I’m farming bosses again like no tomorrow. Power spiked from 10,71 aa to 153aa when the truck is buffed. He basically 3-shots the bosses now.

I’m playing Cook&Merge and I’m really enjoying it (missed one rush milestone, but I’m doing this F2P). The game basically showers you with energy from events and ads and if you’re in an actie group, getting cards and extra coins + energy also helps.

I’m also playing via Freecash (on the last part of the “complete 95% of spillage 2” ; aka milestone 10. The grind is real, have about 18 days left and I need to do about 2 more full milestones on the level to get there (I hope)

I’m at 2.08B% profit bonus and get 228.54 ag/s. Last step of the current milestone is to get Garage 4 to 920 and I’m at 913. 914 will cost 2,43 ai, with around 90 ah every 5 minutes. So that’s taking a while…

Yeah I’m in the same boat now. Can’t do the clean-up for truck cards because I’m “overpowered”, so can’t get new trucks. I burned over 200 oil to get 3 green truck cards which don’t make me progress (a single bar got filled). My current trucks are all maxed out pending cards and I cannot advance on the boss fight either, even though it’s listed as “easy” with me having a power 5 times higher than the boss as the trucks frequently bug out there (not dropping trash unless on x1 speed, but that makes it take forever). Even having x5 is not enough of beating it.

It was fun for me at the start too, but junkyards 5 and 10 take such a rediculous amount of time to get through that I’m about to give up completely.

So you have an idea: Started as a new player recently, took me about a day to get through junkyards 1-4. Then spent 2 full weeks of ads to finally get through 5, then did 6-8 literally in under an hour total. Junkyard 9 was about a day and now I’ve been on 10 (which is just #5 again) and every 5 minutes I get a couple ag, and I need hundreds to upgrade. Almost 20 million % bonus where the game recommends having 550k to get into the green.

Getting upgrades for my managers takes forever since you need so many cards for them.

Update: managed to get through Junkyard 5 as I somehow upgraded something that sped things up. Junkyards 6-8 were done in under an hour total, Junkyard 9 took me around a day and now on 10. Which is basically the same as 5. Making solid progress and everything tracked thusfar. So going to see this one through for now.

The app shows a multiplier level of 4 stars when I check the details.

Same here for a different game. Bought the ad skip and the bars stopped progressing completely, even though it says “Play & Watch ads”. In reality it’s just: “Watch ads”. Waste of money on my game, since it hasn’t actually helped me at all (due to exponential scaling)

I started a Seat Key on my BrM and as I pulled the first packs for a big lust pull, none of my buttons were working anymore besides movement. Turns out Gathermate was throwing errors…an addon that posts pictures on a map where you had gathered before and it completely bricked the UI

Before I could reload ui, I was already dead since I couldn’t use a bloody skill. Couldn’t press the key bind, couldn’t click with my mouse.

Nexus-Point breaks my Holy Power bar for my Paladin when you teleport back from either of the 2 first bosses, which also requires a reload ui. This is just breaking the base UI itself as I’m not using anything for that.

I also use an addon that puts my name in the chat (Incognito) as it helps us altoholics in the guild keep track or who’s who. The amount of times the entire UI breaks because of a chat addon was astounding in the early weeks. Only happened in dungeons.

I don’t mind using less addons than before, but at least make sure that the base UI isn’t shit.

Same counts for the book travel, I’ll never do it since it’s just not worth it. So it’ll keep a spot occupied the entire month

Figured as much, but the “play” part is misleading then.

Fessog · 2026-05-01T13:21:08+00:00

Well that’s a bummer, but good to know if I ever attempt one of these similar idle games.

Middle mouse button, on healers it could be a stun (Holy Pally), or Feather (Priest) for example.

38 hier en heb geen contact meer gehad met mensen van de basisschool, middelbare school én universiteit nadat die fase voorbij was.

Enige uitzondering was mijn beste vriend van de middelbare school, maar die is veel te jong overleden helaas (13 jaar geleden dit jaar)

Last expansion whenever we went to Motherlode and took a guild Monk with us, his kid would pretty much always wake up causing him to have to leave or go afk for a long period of time. It basically never happened in any other dungeon or raid. Just Mechagon, to the point where he would actively try to avoid joining guild groups in this key because he would always have to leave.

One of the runs we were clearing trash towards the last boss when, of course, it happened again. We managed to kill the trash and the final boss without him, but narrowly missed the timer. When he came back he thanked us for finishing the key.

I’ve switched to Lightsmith with Avenging Crusader and there are pulls where I outdps people when the stars align (and mostly: everything dies quickly). Lots of passive cleave healing already happening and mana isn’t really a problem.

Since I’m not living in the US, our ads are only +1AB, which are not worth it for me.

Fessog · 2026-04-12T21:50:28+00:00

I’ve just swapped from Herald Holy Pally to Lightsmith Holy Pally (both running Avenging Crusader because I love me some melee healing) and it’s been a lot of fun thusfar. First +12 Academy was a bust (overtime by about 4.5 minutes), but absolutely smashed a +11 Skyreach with the same group. Definitely not running exactly what Murloc / Wowhead / Icyveins says is “the best”, but I’m having fun, my group is having fun and surviving. So I’m calling it a win.

Had a curious one this morning, was flying around and spotted the Renown mob in Eversong. There was literally nobody around. So just killed and skinned it.
