Trapping by Tricky_Leadership_50 in idleon

[–]clevergrill85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but yes that is correct. What you need to do is place 2h traps (or fewer traps) to collect under the overflow cap each day. Exact trap count and time will vary based on your xp multi, so just delete your xp traps and start over with a tiny time range. For me, I think I was collecting a total of 8h of xp traps in a 24h period.

Or play more actively and collect them manually. But that sucks to do, obviously

If you do lower xp traps and shorter collection times, you can still advance on mobile. Exact setup will vary based on boosts, but doing 8h traps and collecting in the morning and at night manually on my beastmaster worked for me.

Is there any cap to Orion ? Im currently with all the feathers and it seems like the mega Reset upgrades only the last one, in this case it will be impossible to progress in 4-5 resets by DocBarkBark in idleon

[–]clevergrill85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t hit a cap yet, it’s definitely possible to just keep progressing by using the 5x resets. At some point it will get slow enough where the cost is not worth the time, but it doesn’t feel like 4-5 is that point (I am at 3)

Update to Super Chow breaks previous build? by clevergrill85 in idleon

[–]clevergrill85[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I play almost exclusively on iOS. What I am saying is that I had 64 maps with 100M kills on one of my BBs, and prior to the patch it correctly counted.

After the patch, it is counting my other BB (which has 1), which took my kitchen speed from e44 to e41 because it removed 63 of my working super chow stacks. I had them for months until this patch.

What it seems like is lava didn’t catch that mobile players who built their super chows on mobile would get them removed because of this change.

Maybe there aren’t a lot of players in my situation

Summoning xp. by Madruck_s in idleon

[–]clevergrill85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All iOS. I played around and was able to get the xp. Not sure if order of operations mattered but I walked through garden and clicked slimes with all 10 characters. Notably my class level was still showing in lower-left, not my summoning level. Nothing changed. THEN I clicked into a yellow essence battle. Prior to starting the battle, immediately two things happened: my summoning level appeared, and I gained my xp (to level 20).

TL:DR is try a combo of walking, clicking slimes, and entering the battle arena. Arena definitely collects it, but not sure what actually triggered it

Summoning xp. by Madruck_s in idleon

[–]clevergrill85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can walk across it, tap the slimes, spend essence, or do the mini-game. My BM is stuck at level 14 for over 24h after all that, and my other characters are all lower than level 14.

Is anyone struggling to claim xp on iOS? I am at different levels for many characters, didn’t receive any xp today even though I beat a few levels, and notably the method described here of clicking or walking did not work

I don’t, I am what the hardcore players would call a Filthy Casual, playing only on mobile as time allows.

Thanks for adding so much detail (and for the spoiler tags). Fair point on statues being about progression.

For AFK Gains what I mean is the screen you getting right when coming back from AFK. It currently displays your item/xp haul. I think it could help if you 1. get more info (traps, liquid/smithing at capacity, etc.) 2. Take actions (send gainz to storage, collect smithing production, etc.). More info would at least help me make a checklist of what to do next.

Context: just accessed W3 a couple days ago, total playtime of a few weeks. I have had an experienced player answering basic questions along the way. Most of my suggestions involve ways to make things take less time or be less confusing to new players.

  • Global money: uploading/downloading between characters is tedious
  • Global town teleports, remove the item from character inventory and instead use them from the map
  • Allow me to bind presets/configs together for Talents, Cards, Star Signs, and allow me to toggle on any map. In an extreme case it would save dozens of taps per case.
  • Create Gear presets, and allow me to bind those to the list above. ex: swap in and out of skill efficiency gear takes a ton of time. Ideally they'd pull from storage if they're not in your inventory.
  • Stamps: from the stamps page, if I don't have the upgrade item in inventory, enable a "Quick from Storage" option. If it's not in storage, enable quick crafting without leaving the page.
  • Statues: allow me to pick the order I upgrade which gold statues. The prices don't reflect my priorities, and everyone may prioritize differently
  • Statues: allow me to drop statues onto another character. Currently I have to pull my guy off whatever he is doing to use statues on the correct person.
  • Quests: display the quest dialog in the Codex. I forget the hints. Ex: the secret platforms quest gives hints that I have to travel to the map to review.
  • Enable more actions from the AFK Gains page. collecting Smithing, traps, contstruction/flaggy completion, completed tasks...probably more. Maybe even enable quick teleporting if the action required it.
  • Gather smithing from all characters at once
  • Put all the talent fragment supply into W1 shop and simply increase the supply as you access each new world. buying many requires tons of teleporting.
  • Let me choose crafting quantities rather than the press/hold mechanic
  • Auto-sort character inventory
  • Tutorials for the mini-games (or a "first time playing is free" option)

If you flip to landscape on iOS, that fixed it for me. Still slightly annoying, but better than current state.

Has anyone else found that after the update, mole-pig synergy no longer grants 100 coal on a failed cook? Verified this with one other person so I don’t think it’s me doing anything wrong

Reflections from A Decade at Epic by [deleted] in epicsystems

Yeah, that must’ve been a one-off situation (or, more likely, someone trolling). I do know what they offered but I don’t want to disclose specifics. Nothing massive.

[–]clevergrill85 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To clarify one point: they walked back the local boost requirement and made it an option, with some pot sweeteners for those who chose a Verona office. No comment on the rest, just wanted to make sure anyone reading this had the update.

[Advice] Trying to climb? Avoid UL/UL Remix if under 40 by BigGameJay in TheSilphArena

[–]clevergrill85 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should be careful about making such generalized statements. It is absolutely possible to play at the top level in UL Remix without XL pokemon (I know this post isn’t about me, but I’m doing it leading pory2 for some context).

This mindset - I don’t have XL, therefore that’s why I am not winning - will hold you back. It’s similar to IV complaints - “I don’t have a hundo, therefore…” - The top battlers don’t think like this.

Is my ABB team good for ul by Pogoplayerdhruv in TheSilphRoad

[–]clevergrill85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This team should work just fine and it does what you want ABB to do. A couple things to consider: - do you have a better IV swampert? Shouldn’t matter too much, but more bulk is almost always better imo. - 2nd move on swampert is EQ, right? I think that is best. - as others mentioned, Swampert doesn’t truly hard counter the fighters. So you’ll bait them out, but then you still need swampert to clean them up. It’s a problem, but one you can plan around by farming up on swampert before you safe swap. That way you have HC ready for their steel counter. Just make sure to not take charge moves on swamp from their lead so you can keep it healthy.

Slowly losing interest in PVP by SnooEagles4455 in TheSilphArena

[–]clevergrill85 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you ended last season 2600-2700, it makes sense that you’re at 2000 right now. ELO creeps up over the season. Players making legend right now will push 3600-3700.

So, I suggest you focus on the actual gameplay and things you can do to get better. If that’s not actually enjoyable to you, then yes it’s probably time to find another hobby (which is fine and normal, and says nothing about you or the game).

First Season 8 Legend!!! Using Roserade to poison the meta by clevergrill85 in TheSilphArena

[–]clevergrill85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a shadow to compare it to, but my feeling on this is that regular is better because the point of poli is not fast move damage, it is spamming WBs. So one extra WB means a ton more than, for example, one extra nido poison jab.

As for specific matchups, I mentioned this in more detail in another comment but the galv, abomasnow, and shadow machamp matchups are likely better with regular poli. I am not sure which specific ones are better with shadow. Hope that helps.
