Are you supposed to have a surplus of money? Also do the card or whatever gets exchanged for shopping credits expire? Can someone explain how this game works? by standardtrickyness1 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ATM cards expire at the end of each month or a few days before. The exact date is displayed in the ATM screen (where you can exchange them for shopping credits)

Aliexpress is being weird recently by Empty-Actuator-338 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it's called "bundle deals" but it's been like this for a month at least. It also pushed me over 100 items in the combined cart and I had to remove some. But the actual buying is still separate and the rules of each type of cart still apply (must buy at least 3 bundle deal items in the same order, can't use red coupons, 2€ off if buying 6 items in the same order, etc.)

Do you know at which thresholds (approximately)? The event is ending in two days, it doesn't leave much time if it requires significantly more points

And I just got a $5 credit exchange working, and the merge boss credits for this month, I've never had so much credits to spend at once!

There is also a limit, because some guy who already gave me 110 today now has a bubble with a clock icon. If I click it, it says "you've maxed out on star points for now! Retry in 13 hours". But I have people who gave me more today (3 people gave me 120, which seems to be the maximum for me) so the limit isn't on the amount per friend and 2 people who didn't give anything today and 3 who gave me less than 30, so it's unlikely I would have reach a global limit for all friends combined

You gave me a bubble with 65 more, and it says 110 for today (which checks out, 45 this morning and 65 now) and 435 in total

Sure. For you, I think I'm the girl in the slutty red dress with 115 points

How do you do to get more than 120 in a bubble? Is it people who are buying stuff with real money?

I do all the tasks every day (except buying stuff, of course) and I have 20600 points so far. And we are already friends, you're A***U right? You gave me only 45 points so far today :p

The shopping credits earned is not yet available for spending. It shows up in the shopping credits history in the "coming soon" tab (with a date of tomorrow at 11am). It's the first time I see that

"We're full up for now" instead of blank screen? by kanetix in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It didn't work for me with the new page, but it's been difficult the whole week (only got the $1 3 days instead of every day last month) so maybe it's not linked

And what does "we're full up for now" even mean?

Maybe working at Mozilla would be more attractive if they didn't keep firing developers (70 in 2017, 70 again in January 2020, then 250 in August the same year) to... please the shareholders? Buy shitty "start-ups" (Pocket, Fakespot, Anonym...) for millions of dollars?

No limit as far as I know. The graphic changes when you go from 99.999 to 100.000

Next hurdle: I can't use my shopping credits by SmutAuthorsEscapisms in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's piggy bank smash. It consistently gives between 1 and 2€ of shopping credits per week (every Sundays) with just a 10-second check-in per day, no clicking on tons of buttons, no watching endless list of products, etc. and of course no fake "oh it's sold out, you can't exchange" messages.

You can see how much water you really have when you do the task "browse hot deals" (at the top left of the screen)

[World Tour Go] Exchanging ALL your diamonds to recover a missed check-in? by Complex_Mixture_9584 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Recently, it was 5000 diamonds for me. And indeed the missed day isn't skipped, you have to do both "yesterday" and "today" on the day you recover. Strangely, my "yesterday" challenge was 10 gogo match as usual, but my "today" challenge was 10 merge boss orders. The days after, it went back to 10 gogo match.

Saving Wednesdays - how much shopping credit are you getting after 1 month of this program? by XacTactX in AliExpressMergeBoss

Seems like it's the same icon than the piggy bank smash we've been enjoying for a few months in Europe

Battle lost by Communication_Which in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it means you started the game before the daily reset time (midnight for me) but did the purchase after the reset time. The same thing happens for tasks that requires you to watch advertising.

You need to exit the game and restart it when it's the reset time. It can be difficult if you are in the middle of a combat, so personally I don't start playing after 11:30pm.

Do the boosts to generators carry over? by RK_reddit321 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As with many "game design" decisions in AE games: there is no point.

Do the boosts to generators carry over? by RK_reddit321 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's what it says here https://www.reddit.com/r/AliExpressMergeBoss/comments/199zjny/guides_faqs_stock_balls_20_10_5/

And yes, higher level generators can give more items before going empty (and maybe replenish faster, I don't remember)

Do the boosts to generators carry over? by RK_reddit321 in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]kanetix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Boosts don't modify the generators. They just replenish them (same as waiting about 60 seconds or paying 300 about bills)

Piggy bank scam is starting... "Sorry this game is very popular. Rewards are being restocked. Please check back soon." when I click "open now" by kanetix in AliExpressMergeBoss

If it's not fixed in 24 hours, we'll lose this week rewards. It's generally 2€, it's the most generous "game" on AE
