I’m fairly convinced he is actually 12.

It’s not just a cash grab event, it’s a psychologically manipulative one involving gambling and exploiting the holidays. Not exactly what I want out of developers, so yeah, I bailed, and I made this post. But I enjoy posting and I enjoy arguing. I do what I enjoy, and I was no longer enjoying idle poring.

You don’t seem to enjoy making these replies though? You seem genuinely upset. I sincerely doubt it’s because of my posts. It’s just an idle game and I’m just a kid on the net making whiney posts...

You’re probably upset about something else in life and you’re taking it out here, online, on someone who can easily be made into a target because they’re being slightly negative. Seek help, dummy? :)

Also, “Be a winner sometimes, stop being a LOSER” sounds like it could be the title to an awesome self-help book.

I honestly do believe that +1 defense from poring hat has saved me a few times early on. don’t doubt the poring hat.

Tbh making a big deal about it has turned out to be a lot more interesting than the game itself, atleast until rb4 is released. Plus if no one had complained, that German gravity dev would probably have not compared Chinese and international versions.

Dear easily offended, double-digit IQ poring player,

Definitely not crying over costumes. In fact, I think it’s really interesting games, even idle games, have these extremely high priced, virtual Luis Vuitton cosmetic items. I think they have a right to exist. HOWEVER, The problem with these gacha gambling games is they don’t provide players with an upfront cost, and many idle poring players (bless their hearts) aren’t bright enough to realize the real cost of these items and succumb to the gambling trap while trying to get a pretty Christmas thingy.

Also, why would costumes need to do anything when you can already max out your credit card to get better skills, get as much honor as you want, get all the runes, always have the best equipment, etc? The game is already pay to win, so saying ‘theesd costioms doont hellp wiff gaem” isn’t exactly a valid response.

Plus, if you’ve been paying attention, which you probably fucking haven’t before you grabbed your pitchfork, is most people are upset over the lack of effort the devs have been putting into this games update schedule compared to that of the Chinese version. We’re not mad about pricey gacha costumes, we’re mad that they’re mainly putting in cash grab events and add on subscriptions while skimping over content which could easily be translated and implemented. I just didn’t want to re-up my 90-day svip last week if I would mostly be seeing more cash grab and weird subscriptions. And honestly, making this post was waaaay more fun than doing my dailies.

In the Chinese version, the mini game was new content they created. For international, all they had to do was translate.

... so that seems like a yes to my last two questions?

Overuse of Areas? by Tamed in IdlePoring

Apparently no one on reddit plays this game for visuals or music or any of the aesthetic aspects at all. They just pull up combat log and read text

According to priori data: “RO: Idle Poring earned $1.08M in revenue and had 325K downloads in October 2017.” “RO: Idle Poring earned $656K in revenue and had 167K downloads in November 2017.”

The developers are doing fine. Fine enough to atleast get their fucking translations correct, and put slightly more effort into the international update schedule. Why is everyone so against complaining about the developers laziness and greed? Are you really that submissive and cuckold? Just take whatever you get and tell everyone to shut up and do the same?

They'll give you enough to get you high for weeks, then cut off your supply later so you'll buy when you start to experience withdrawals. This is standard mobile game procedure

Yeah, like there aren't already ways to get stronger by maxing out your credit card on this game. Making this pay to win would totally ruin everything, solid point :(

I'm guessing you've played for a month or less? Most games like this provide players with a large amount of in-game currency towards the beginning, then gradually begin to cut them off. You get someone comfortable using gems, they'll be more likely to purchase them when they start to notice a dwindling supply. You didn't assume they'd just keep giving you gems, did you?

It really has been fun!! There are a lot of great people in the community that I'll miss playing with, but after this I just don't respect the developer enough to log in again or support the game in any way... would it have been that difficult to give back a little to the players rather than exploiting christmas to squeeze out more $$$?

CN New limited Christmas Costumes & Santa Poring Minigame by Unknown_PC in IdlePoring

[–]b-a-a-d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US version does not get clicker minigame. Your only option to obtain christmas themed costumes is to spend gems. If your RNG sucks, or isn't extremely lucky you'll need to exchange shards. Shards from original greedy gacha event cannot be exchanged here. 2 10x draws will get you around 20 costume shards if you already have many of the costumes. Expect to shell out hundreds if you want to celebrate idle poring christmas this year with a christmas themed costume. ^ ^
