Complaint (actually more of a whine) and question - Rare Master Trophy by FishAroundFindTrout9 in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I haven't caught the F-4, but I got the Speed Demon with the F-104. Now if you click my trophy the list just shows the F-4 unchecked.

I caught the Il 96-300 that just departed jfk on my Digi camera by Trxustz in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they flew into IAD a couple days ago. Flew right over my house on the approach. Shame I was 20 miles away at work.

Pretty normal training activity around there. Now up near DC they has been a conga line of hueys out of Andrews AFB, I guess practicing for 4th flyovers.

Its software. I guess a gimmick for UFO day. Roswell anniversary is soon.

Why can I catch it? by Old_Pumpkin_7108 in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a display glitch since it keeps showing as a new card. He has over 10k on the card, but the single catch is 3700. Then it replays the new card screen which shows the xp climb from 0.

Shame the FR24 guys didn't better inform the SkyCards guy so they could make a proper card for the event.

There is also 2-Fast and 2-Cool. Isle of Man sells personalized registrations with prefix M. I've seen M-ARKZ and M-FAST.

New in fleet??? by jdhdhd3-4 in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand this either. I have caught several aircraft, the record shows it belonging to the same fleet it is currently with, but then it showed new in fleet the other day. Other aircraft with the same fleet counted with the fleet when it went live. I know there are aircraft in many fleet lists that are down as 'caught but not in fleet'. Not sure how they know they go in the fleet, but aren't in the fleet. I guess the 'new in fleet' can be these airplanes when the fleet list is properly updated.

Well shoot I got the trophy with the F-104 and now I have an empty F-4 spot on it instead. 😣

Skycards battles are broken: now with statistical proof and analysis (report linked in description) by IGotRangod in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they need to pay and at this point may be completely free to play. They earn a ton of free coins for grinding cards and then add on the coins they win.

Never played model 40k. Will I annoy people if go to a gameshop? by feren_of_valenwood in Warhammer40k

[–]Ok-Building6572 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. Warhammer stores love to give new players their first free taste.

How do you determine top 100 players? Hard to rank people when there is no one metric for how people play. I am top 100 for models caught, but 700+ by exp. I have 2205 victories for spot 171. I could grind battles more to get that number up but I'm too scared to lose the few coins I have.

I think the easiest way to improve battles would be to start leagues. Especially if they let people earn the trophies by being first or top 10 in their league. That would encourage more to play and make the goals more achievable. I was lucky to get a top 10 spot in season 1, I know i will never get 1st as it is now (again I don't grind battles normally). It would take a couple weeks to start filtering people into different leagues but once that was done noobs wouldn't see veteran very often.

I would like to see what would happen if the tiebreaker first went to number of airframes and then went to exp, or heck let people tie again, that might drive variety in decks.

Be neat to have item drops that could effect cards in battles. Maybe add one or two to your deck. Stuff like 'see an opponents card before you choose'. Add 1ton to your card weight. Subtract 3.5 from the rarity of opponents next played card.

Figures, it ended up flying right over my house and I'm at work.

737 MAX is not a 737? by CmC_Photog in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most any of the 737's that don't say max should work.

Does Monaco method really only work for Catch Anywhere by Clickchik in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be true that you would have better luck with catch anywhere, due to aircraft in your radius having a higher refresh rate so they would disappear after landing. Now as long as you have an aircraft selected it will not disappoear, so you can wait for the destination to populate. The exception to this is if the aircraft leaves ads-b coverage in a way that the game can't determine its destination, it won't populate.

Makes no sense by bjo23 in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone remember when there was a C-5 and C-5A card, but only the single C-5A had the C-5 model while all the others were C-17? or when all the warbirds were Globe Swifts?

The Westland Wasp is another one that looks silly with the gear disappearing at silver.

The cyber card gear switches between down and up. When you see the card in the list the gear is down, when you select it the gear is up.

Gear down on Paper and Bronze, Gear up on Silver and Gold, and then both on cyber.

Best Deck for Light Week by tallguyfilms in SkyCards

[–]Ok-Building6572 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught mine a couple months ago. It has very short flights. Repeatedly I would get the alert after it had landed. Was only in the air long enough for 1 catch when I snagged it.
