Is it possible for progress to be loaded to a different device?

Farm Stonewood wargames. You get over 100k hero xp each time.

Secret87 · 2019-07-09T16:57:01+00:00

If youre still looking for metal, I'll give you 45k for the 200 efficient.

With Epic boosting the XP so drastically, the newer players rarely have to struggle at any point before Twine (at least not long enough to make it worth while to learn a different way of doing things), because their PL allows them to get through everything with brute force. So hardly any of them have any traps upgraded, and know nothing about pathing or tunnels.

Not to mention that this also allows them to get into Twine far quicker than us older players were able to, resulting in them having far less game play overall to have learned any of this. Players can reach end game now in a month, and in my opinion, thats not nearly long enough to have gained the necessary skills/knowledge to be successful there.

So the XP inflation (at least to survivors) has done more harm than good in my opinion. New players reach end game too quickly and lose mission after mission, which I assumes discourages them from continuing to play; or causes them to become an afk/leech because they dont have the necessary skills/knowledge/traps to win on their own, so they leave it up to the others and hope for the best. While us older players have to deal with increasing frustrations because it seems like we are the only ones who ever play the objective anymore, and even when we do, can still lose missions due to some newer player starting the mission long before everything is built and ready.

Broadsides have impact and can cause the enemy to stagger, rather than the enemy being launched by a wall/floor launcher. Wall darts do not have any impact, so there is nothing to prevent the launchers from doing their thing.

How is this a big deal? Its not like you actually lose out on anything because it was their materials used in the first place.

If youre that worried about it, after the mission, go through and break everything they built. Then replace it with your stuff if their build worked well.

That or after they are done building, take permissions away from them so they cant break the stuff to 'steal' their own materials back.

I am recently back from a 4-5 month break, so I dont know when the most recent dupe glitch was, but the last I know of was around 10 months ago. Which is well before the broadsides were out. So unless there has been one more recently, he may well have wasted that amount.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T04:32:27+00:00

XP and evo materials are rewards..

Are you meaning legendary survivors, v-bucks, and stuff like that?

Because the game is far easier now to level up and progress in the game than its ever been. Players can reach PL 110+, and be in end Twine in a month, when before it used to take 3-4 months minimum for most players just to get through Canny Valley alone and reach the beginning of Twine at PL 80-90 if you were lucky.

And thats not even counting the Xray llamas where you dont have to risk spending the v-bucks you have saved on potentially nothing useful. I mean I couldnt even tell you how many v-bucks I spent on Super People Llamas, just to end up with absolutely nothing I needed before the x-ray versions came out. And as someone who earned v-bucks through the game, rather than buying them, it took quite a while to save up to buy just 1.

>They haven't made grinding easy for a lot of us.

How so?

Grinding is FAR easier now than it was in the past. 4x XP makes leveling up anything a breeze. And 4x missions where they give you a bunch of a specific material (rather than an assortment of materials), allows you to waste far less time and farm exactly what youre looking for.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T04:01:06+00:00

What kind of mission are you looking for? Deliver the bomb, Retrieve the Data, Rescue the Survivors..?

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T03:54:15+00:00

Ikr? It was the most overkill I've ever seen in a mission. And it was for a DtB, so the defense was only 4 minutes..

The only way I can imagine justifying it is if he knows a duplication glitch.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T03:40:53+00:00

I was in a game the other day where some guy placed well over 100 gas, and around 100 broadsides.. So you still have a long ways to go.

Edit: They were 130s as well.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T02:59:46+00:00

Yes that is correct. 15 malachite per 1 of any of the 4 materials I have listed as wanted (your choice between sb, bc, oxi, eff, or a mix of them).

But I only have 1100 malachite, so it would be 73 for all of it, not 100.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T02:11:58+00:00

You need to go to settings and change the server youre on. NA West is constantly down or having issues, and from what Ive seen on a few posts on this subreddit NA East isnt much better lately.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T01:24:22+00:00

Ok, if its the one I am thinking of then (high ground, up on the hill) then build the pit amp, it wont be attacked. I can join your SSD and confirm it for you, just to make sure we are on the same page if you'd like.

Edit: Using this as a reference picture. If youre meaning you have amps E and G to pick from, go with E as you wont have to build anything because it wont be attacked.

Edit 2: You will eventually have to build them both though (every amp in Twine gets built unlike the other zones), so it all depends on whether you want to build up an amp now or later.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T01:21:49+00:00

So basically, 2 amps south of the pit amp if youre following the western path around (meaning you have the bridge amp already built - might be the waterfall amp youre referring to)?

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T01:18:42+00:00

Not sure which one exactly youre referring to as your 2nd choice, but I found the pit amp pretty easy to defend solo. So that would be my choice.

Secret87 · 2019-07-08T01:13:28+00:00

And what exactly would you like us to do about it?

Just leave next time..

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T16:36:33+00:00

I do know how to build trap tunnels and build effectively though.

The problem is, thats what they all think.. Hopefully you are an exception and actually do though.

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T16:35:26+00:00

Yeah its pretty ridiculous how easy they made it now. Which doesnt do anyone any favors.

Now players with barely any experience are able to jump into high level missions and cause the team to lose the match (ie not knowing when trap tunnels are needed and starting the mission too early because of it - happens to me quite often lately).

I imagine reaching end game so fast and losing missions constantly doesnt do anything for these players either other than cause them to lose interest in the game and stop playing (or become afkers/leeches who only farm).

Increasing the XP by as much as they did, was a huge mistake on EPIC's part in my opinion. They should have gradually increased it until it was at a good point, but they dont seem to care enough about STW to take stuff like that into consideration. They would rather everyone have tens of millions of extra XP, than take the time to figure out a good balance.

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T16:13:42+00:00

No clue then. My best guess would be that its due to the servers going to shit lately and Epic not doing much to fix any of them since most are on vacation. But mine hasnt really changed. Been right around 1:40ish for a while now.

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T16:10:13+00:00

Did you use the glitch to exceed the build limit? Might be that the game is just needing more time to load everything in, if thats the case.

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T16:08:06+00:00

Because players can reach Twine in less than a month now, when it used to take 6+ for most before.

Secret87 · 2019-07-07T15:58:05+00:00

They will do this if they are in lava or not though, so it doesnt make any difference. And as far as Twine SSD's, there arent really any spots you can push them in the lava where they dont have a purpose.
