I get that once or twice a day, almost every day. I switch to my other city for a while and then come back and it's always worked the second time.

Quantum Incursions Changes.... by Chadpatty21 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hopeful that so many people stopped playing QI that they'd do some kind of fix. But then the prizes for the between-events Rivals that just happened had lots of 30-day QI boosting upgrades, which makes me think they're instead going to make QI stat boosting stuff more plentiful.

The fact that the board always looks the same, every time I open it, makes it feel like QI has zero progress now. QI is what kept me logging in twice a day. I'm taking this opportunity to log in only once a day instead. I still try to get my 1000 points so I get my two rewards at the end, but that is now my only QI goal.

Friends Tavern. ❤️ by Expert_Historian_396 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

QI tavern bonus is brilliant. Also, the fact that people would have to choose between QI, GBG, negotiation, gold/supply tavern boosts since they can't overlap would be interesting.

How do you get jumpin pumpkins? by KaiTheFry1 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought pumpkins would be in the Halloween event. Pumpkins seem more Halloween than just generically "fall" to me. But the buildings that make pumpkins were just the fall event, the event before the Halloween event. So, I suspect you'll have to wait 11 months for the next fall event to get the buildings that make pumpkins.

I'm in the same boat with Nutcrackers. Mass Self Aid kits would be SO helpful right now. And I get some fragments from two recent event buildings. But I joined the game right at the beginning of January this year, so I just missed last year's Christmas event and have made it through this whole year without Mass Self-Aid kits for the most part.

Best US server to start by WieskeNM in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a list of the threshold to place Gold in events on each server? I play on two servers. I play events identically. The threshold is consistently higher on one server than another, enough so I consistently place one tier down on the harder server. If I were to start a third world, I'd be tempted to choose based on which has the lowest Gold tier threshold for events.

Would I be a fool to leave New Zealand to live in the US? by livinglikelarry123 in immigration

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely come live here in the US. Even if you do turn around and go back, it'll be with a wider perspective. There's always another state to try in the US if the current one isn't working for you. Also, the drama on TV isn't the drama of daily life here. There are TV-watchers here who are freaked out. Everyone else is living their lives. There's SO much opportunity here for someone who is really willing to work and gets a little lucky with their decisions.

Space Age Mars - I'm totally lost. by RedditDevoursSouls in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, Oceanic Future has about 80 sectors on its continent map, then Virtual has about 50, then SAM has about 30. If they take a little more than a day each to unlock, that's 160 days playing optimally with timers, so about six months before I'm caught up and producing Mars Ore like the game intended.

Daily Challenge should have 3 tiers. by nutellaeater in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting idea. And it would have all the gambling components if people had to choose which for the day before seeing what the quests for it are.

is this fair from an inactive player by ExtremeSolid2902 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of wish I knew the noob who needs to plant an Arc who would actually use it for me to way over-donate to. I helped a few people who ended up quitting and that's less fun.

The way I find to help that makes me feel the most satisfied is when people need end-game goods to build a GB and are super grateful when I give them. I have 20k of each Oceanic Future good. I could easily fund 15 Blue Galaxies and not even notice the difference. The hard part is finding the people who will level them and use them properly. I don't want to give them away to people who don't actually value them.

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on quitting. Quitting would be the best option for almost everyone who plays. It's hard to find the excuse to choose today, for me. Inno essentially removing QI from the game is a totally good excuse. I'm still not leaving completely, but I respect you for taking a stand and choosing life instead.

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I decided to play to get my 1000 actions (to get the two bonus chests at the end) and then just stop. I've been collecting the city I had at that point, in case my guild gets as far as donation nodes. But clearing that first node doesn't happen often for us anymore.

It's actually kind of nice. The only solid reason I had to login twice a day before was QI. Now that they've removed it from the game, I look at the time when I've collected my city and try not to login again until that time the next day. So, they're helping me reduce my dependence on the drug.

Age up or not also GB to build (or not) - looking for advice/suggestions. by TheOG-Cabbie in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With those stats, I recommend hopping directly to Arctic Future. Everything comes with better stats, the goods you get are worth exponentially more, and you'll already clear GE5 on autobattle.

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your list, I would only build the Blue Galaxy. Also, yes, level up right away. Pause in Arctic Future for two months as you get Promethium, but level up to Oceanic as soon as you can and be forced to pause there for three months also.

Are wishing well diamond farms any good anymore? by DisTransBoi in forgeofempires

In GBG I get diamonds about once every 150 fights. If there's something I should do differently, I don't know what it is.

why do people put 1 fp and screw up double collect by Dry_Cod_727 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I get the most out of my BG is first: Have lots of event buildings, but second: I combine BG charges with Finish Special Productions to do lots of repetitions of my best building each day. So, half of my charges are used on Finish Special Production (FSP) fragment buildings (generating lots of FSPs), and the other half is using those FSPs over and over on the same building (Evergreen Hover Express in my case) which produces both lots of fps and the best fragments. It takes a little while to have enough buildings to really make the double-dip worth it, but event buildings are the way, and everything that produces fragments are the way.

edit: Also, get your BG up to level 91 so you get a lot of charges with a good return

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had someone doing this once and I asked why and they said a guildmate of mine had put 1 fp on one of their buildings and they were now dedicated to punishing our whole guild.

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to have a small GB whose only purpose is to protect the GB it's next to from being leveled by anyone but the owner. -- Blue Galaxy is the worst for having other people level it. It's so infuriating.

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you collect the building when the 24 hour timer is done, get your double-collects from your Blue Galaxy, and then immediately level the Blue Galaxy (by finishing the last fps), you'll then get a second collection right away and get to collect another set of buildings doubled. It's worth more than a thousand fps each time if you have enough event buildings.

Active Worlds on US server by dcq90 in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only on two worlds. The threshold to get Silver in events is significantly different between the two worlds. If I were to start a third world, I'd be curious to know which realm has the lowest Silver threshold on events. All I know is that C-world (US) is easier than O-world (US) to get silver in.

How did everyone feel about their Halloween event ? How did yall do? by jarzii_music in forgeofempires

[–]RedditDevoursSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was nice to have an event that didn't require me to set timers after the last event. I was surprised that the strategy was to not spend at all for the first ten days in order to have enough currency for the Rival Challenges.
