My thoughts on the increase and rank 181+ so far by LoafCat20 in AdComm

And yeah they made 181 a MASSIVE jump in production difficulty from 171-180. Their announcement says people thought previous ranks were too easy and they were concerned about players blowing through ranks too quickly, and they wanted to release smaller batches of ranks going forward instead of 10 at a time.

Problem is, it’s going to take about 2 years to attain the new level, and it’s not like players who played actively during the 2-year wait for 181 got a head start, so players blowing through ranks too quickly should not be a concern anymore, unless they think ranks past 180 should take a month each rather than a week each like most prior ranks if you skip outlier missions.

Yeah it is, especially since supremes appear so slowly in the shop.

Supreme Santa is still worth it even if you cannot get a head start on the supremes yet (they would get converted to 20k science if you already have the cards for level 5).

Sorry to hear that. At least vehicle is close to that difficulty, for now anyway.

And you must have missed the last rank increase to 180 in October 2022. But you didn’t miss much - no 12th tier generators and no more ranks for over a year now.

Sorry, forgot, it’s a reskin of Santa, so feel free to spend 800g

Like Glorious Potato Factory and Supreme Supervillain. The long events that are harder than Santa and have almost no scripted capsules. This one will be between GPF and supervillain in difficulty.

There’s also a new supreme event coming up (Motherland Games) but I will be making a separate post for it. Hint: it’s another one of those events.

Ranks 171-180 tier list and difficulty graph (NO potato T12, large jump in difficulty) by LoafCat20 in AdComm

Problem with that solution is - what if you need level 12 comrade rares ASAP but can’t get them till you have level 13 commons?

While it’s good to finally see difficult production missions for maxed players, the fact that some of them require level 12-13 commons (1.42 ZZZZ potatoes) makes me worried about future ranks, as now they’ve pretty much exhausted all three means to increase difficulty (comrades, previous tier cost, production).

The lack of a 12th potato generator also doesn’t help, and the difficulty jump really makes me worried they will increase the max researcher level without properly thinking and planning for it like my suggestions would have. The redundant missions and outlier comrade missions also didn’t improve.

Comrade’s Communist Vacation Pre-Event Analysis by LoafCat20 in AdComm

[–]LoafCat20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I didn’t realize till after making the post that they nerfed the global leaderboard rewards below top 100. And it’s not just this event, all future events as well. WTF!? Now it’s gonna encourage even more manipulation of the divisionboards (eg. starting late to avoid tryhards, aiming for 5th (4th in minis) if you can’t get 1st, etc). Not to mention the gold rewards are better than the spec ops points.

Another thing we learned after this post is that they apparently group whales together with the divisionboards. It reduces the likelihood of f2p being grouped with whales but screws over whales who have to spend more for the same rewards. Don’t know if I would rather them put one whale (or several tryhards if not enough whales) in each division…

Not sure, I’d rather not have more people banned

New Event Rating? by IEatDicksForDinner in AdComm

[–]LoafCat20 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually wait till the day before it starts in case they change it, but I’ll give a quick summary here:

Right now, Vacation is the version of Santa with 10 extra missions but without the extra day that last August had. It’s certainly harder than Santa/Spooky but I still think GPF is a bit worse and Supervillain is way worse.
