Glad we're discussing Monostat items and not Monistat items... (Big difference) LOL 🤣

And this one even confuses me even more...

Not saying that the idea is flawed, but by that line of thinking, this should have been the LOSS column instead of the WIN section. (If I'm overlooking something, please feel free to point it out to me, I won't be insulted. I'm not a "game master" by any means, but curious if I'm missing something.)

No real opinion on that one except to say that I've been up against a lot of players who have on class a lot higher than their others and I usually roll over them reasonably easy although it isn't a given outcome by any means.

For my part, I'm a 218 and my HC/C/KH are 10173/10350/10342, yet the highest ranked player (by level) in my League is well over 70 levels ahead of me, even though I think I might be able to take them on since their HC/C/KH is a LOT lower. But realistically I'll probably get beaten. LOL Then again, some players over level 250 have zero wins/points to their credit, so they are probably not playing at all or biding their time. Just start at the lowest rank and start working your way up till you encounter someone you can't whip and improve what will help you out.

Thanks for the input, it's appreciated. 😎 Jut ran into the wall again after leveling up. 🙄 LMAO 🤣

And... Patience NOT being one of my virtues, my overall level just went up and it opened for added points. I'm assuming that you can only achieve a certain level of HC / C / KH at a given level. If any of the Advanced Members, Developers or Moderators have a link about it, I'd still like to read over it. Thanks y'all. 😎

Never had this one happen before. A level actually lists being at "MAXED" How often an occurrence is this? I've seen players a lot higher than that, so I'm a lil' bit confused. Sorry if I'm asking an already discussed thread, but I dont "forum" real well. (Kinda lost the ability back in the Windows 98 SE days when you'd be looking for a legitimate answer to an actual problem only to have the thread turn into an argument over what game chick was hotter or how to make Laura Croft naked.) Anyway, if there's such a thread, please feel free to chastise me for not digging around for it, but let me know where it is.

I have to agree that using Lola would be decidedly uncomfortable on the hand/wrist if kept in proper perspective and proportion. However... 😄 Either Lola or Salem (Salem for my personal choice) would make an excellent desktop area to lay my lead while I pondered why Fredy Sih Roko Sensei has to be such a tight-tentacled sh*thead and not drop any of his girls... 😍

With respect to the idea that during the next 16 hours and 50 minutes you will probably have to sleep since you were awake while I was not, yeah; actually I do, considering that there is a limit to the number of points that you can accumulate in a 24 hour period anyway. That of course is making the assumption that you're not buying refills. Correct me if I'm wrong on this line of thinking as well, if you could. With a maximum number of players to a League being 100, and being able to battle each player 3 times, and each win gaining 3 points. (100 x 3 = 300 and 300 x 3 = 900) Why is there so much worry over what time zone you're in anyway, considering that it is conceivable, although highly unlikely, allowing for sleep/meals/work or whatever, that with all of the rushing to complete battles and worrying about when I get my next points, all 100 players in a League could complete all of their battles and have a gigantic cluster-f*ck 100 way tie with everyone having all 900 possible points at the end of a League period anyway?

I'll give you the fact that I can empty out my combativity points or whatever than go back and have them filled at the start of a new session/week/league or whatever within an hour or so at the end of my waking hours, but it isn't that much of an "advantage" as is being made out. There are still only 24 hours in a day, and at some time, while I'm asleep / at work/ at the gym / interacting with family or friends or whatever, I get passed by, just like everyone else does. "X" time zone players all across the world are bypassing "Y" time zone players all over the world simply because they're asleep or partaking of activities other than gaming all the time. I've gone to bed in first place and woken up in 35th and had to start struggling back up all over again more time than I can count, so forgive me if I don't see a clear, undeniable "advantage." Now if this were a true PvP MMO, (like Call of Duty / Battlefield / Everquest / Warcraft) I could see the decided advantage of being physically close to the server or maybe living in a specifc time zone, but in a "my character's abilities against your character's abilities" situation with zero actual PvP interaction, time zones are irrelevant.

Before I say silly things...? Dude check your own nonsense before you call someone else out. I overlook my account for new activity before I go to bed, you overlook yours with your morning coffee, someone in India takes a look on their lunch break and a player in Japan checks theirs after dinner... Who the hell cares what time zone it is? "Unfair advantage"? How exactly...? We're all limited to completing the exact same tasks from the activities in a 24 hour period, the Leagues start and stop at exactly the same time worldwide, so forgive me for not falling in line with your rant. Because mine starts at a different time of the day for me DOESN'T give me any advantage, because; wait for it, at some time I'll be asleep while you (or someone elsewhere else in the world) is awake and playing. Seriously... And you tell me to think. That's funny right there. 🤣

Silly question... What the hell difference does your time zone make? Roll-out-time (in the game) happens everywhere, all at the same time, on what I presume is Real-World Wednesday morning at the developers location, which is 10:00pm where I'm at, so I kick off the big time consuming Activity and look at the new patches and Quest stuff before I catch some Zzz's. I'm not following why time zone is even a factor... 🤔 As a side note, my TARDIS won't lock on to locations/time lines in the Haremverse… Should I take it back to the dealer? (It's still under warranty.)

This question is directed to GeorgeMTO and Chthugha in particular, sine they seem to have a more intricate knowledge of how the system is working. (Any other moderator or Kinkoid Staff feel free to answer as well.) Looking at the League board that I am in, am I correct in assuming that the Leagues are going to consist of sets of 101 players with a maximum gainable points being 900? Calculated at 100 people in a League (101 - Yourself) x 3 points per win x 3 battles per Player... Am I close? Curious. 🤨

I think that it's good that the developers listened to the people who tried to explain that they do actually have other pursuits in their lives, (work, family, sleep, etc.) and were effectively being punished by not being continuously logged into and actively playing the game and stretched out the full recharge time and storable points for League Tower Battles to allow a player to reach a full charge of 15 over a period that works out to be 8 hours 45 minutes. (By my math anyway) I have to say that I am a little disappointed that the developers didn't eliminate using Kobans to keep fighting, that would have made it more fair overall and would have done a lot (in my humble opinion anyway) to combat the "Free to play, Pay to WIN" feeling that seems to be developing. Anyway, I know (like always...) there'll be a fair amount of whining, but I think my response to the developers would have to be... Overall... Well played. Well played indeed. 😊

In response to Chthuga and natstar, yeah I had realized that a long while back. Granted the part expending energy makes in a contest is small, but sometimes the difference between two finishing scores is only one point... (It is the Haremverse after all, weird sh*t happens.) I was more to the idea that instead of just being "stuck" you could use the saved up Energy to buy a couple Combativity points Fight a World Boss and maybe buy something you can use in the Market with the game cash, or maybe, just maybe, win a new girl from the World Bosses. 🤔

Thank you... It leaves us old timers out in the cold in the Contests part of the Activities because we can't expend energy and some of the contests require it. Maybe something like, "Trade 50 Energy for 1 Combativity"

Oh! Dear Sweet Lordy Jesus! Can't we all just get along? 🤣 Okay I hope that didn't offend the sh*t out of everybody, but let's face facts... Regardless of whatever actions the developers take, what direction they lead us in throughout the game and whatever improvements they make SOMEBODY will have their panties so bunched up over it that they won't be able to breathe. Even if was randomly giving away Kobans by pulling names out of a hat. ("Look! Look! Look! MY paper with MY name on was 0.000000002 shorter than YOUR paper with YOUR name on it! That's not fair and I should get the prize too!" - Sorry to say but there's people like that.)

I was actually thinking the same thing about Players whose character's name begins with "K" but I file that thought right alongside of, "Be nice if the Leagues were bracketed better so level 10's wouldn't be in the same group with level 200's..." 🤣

We would like to hear from you if you have any ideas, feedback and advice and regarding the upcoming balance changes. Oh boy... Where to start? 🤔 The number of players in Brackets. 1. The minimum number of players is changed from 100 to 120 😣 HORRIBLE IDEA - Under the current functionality it only sticks more people in your bracket that you have no hope of winning against anyway. Challenges and Recharges: 2. The recharge time is changed from 60 minutes to 30 minutes per 1 challenge (Dev. commentary: This will save time and will make the game better) 🤔 Not sure how this classifies as "better," who ever thought up the "5 Hour Recharge time frame" in the first place? Make it simple... Time from zero energy to complete refill of ten should be eight hours, more simply; three times a day (check when you get up, check when you're off work, check before you go to bed... EASY) 3. Amount of charges is up from 5 to 10 😀 Actually a good idea to bump the total up... Kudos 4. The price per minute for the recharge changes from 0.36 to 0.48 (0.06 to 0.08 in Nutaku Kobans) 😝 Eliminate purchasing energy refills with kobans. (I'll apologize to the developers and backers now so I don't forget...) The whole assumption that someone will buy kobans with real world money just to win a weekly bracket that makes them LESS kobans than they spent is just silly. Doing it the hard way makes players think, plan and build their teams more carefully. It also gets rid of the whole, "Oh... I see... Free to play, but pay to WIN," mentality that y'all are putting into people's heads and it leaves a sour taste in your mouth; like buying the really cool new game only to discover that everything you need to be competitive is "Credit card required for activation of any/all DLC." (Down-Loadable-Content) Change in Rewards: 5. Experience gained per battle is lowered by 50% / Kobans and Money rewards stay the same. (Dev. commentary: This is a reflection from point 2 of the changes, lowering the minutes by half) 🤔 Offsets the recharge change so I get this one... Seasons: 6. League Season changes from 2 weeks to 1 week, for rewards to occur more frequently. 😀 Like it... 7. League season start day will be changed from Monday to Thursday; 🤔 Can't figure out why everyone is freaking out over this one... Nearly everyone logs in more than once a week anyway right? Why does it matter what day? Although with the roll out date for changes/updates being Wednesday, why not start the new "season" then...? Please feel free to share your opinion! (You asked for it...) Over all not bad... Not great, needs work, but not bad. My biggest concern was/is; work on making the brackets a little more even. You can read this as, "Don't throw level 10's against level 200's," it only discourages the lower level players and makes them more apt to stop playing. (That can be read as players thinking, "This is hopeless, screw this crap, I'll spend my money somewhere else.) I brought this up in another forum and got told, "That's what the Arena is for..." Yeah, yeah, yeah, that response aside, playing PVP against someone your own level is more challenging and (in my opinion) more fun. My secondary concern is that, as someone just posted, "Participation is not mandatory." That is both true and is not true at the same time. No one is holding a pistol to my head and making me click the mouse, but if it is absolutely true that participation in the Leagues is not required, why were the expirence points for daily quests reduced? It was already noted (in another forum) that reducing the amout of expirence points of the daily missions was to offset what would be gained in the Leagues, so to accumulate what had been a player's previously normal daily allowance of expirence points, they are required to participate in the Leagues or be bypassed by players who go into the Leagues of their own accord. Sorry it turned into a novel; feel free to give me a thumbs up or tell me that I'm full of sh*t, after all that's what forums should be for. Exchanging information and sharing/discussing opinions. Take care y'all. 😀

Granted, the timing is a lot different, but my point was more, "I get rewarded more for beating someone who is not much of a challenge as opposed to beating someone who is," which, in of itself, is kinda messed up. One can only assume that the arena is on the way out with Tower Leagues being the next big thing, which would probably (buy more kobans) be to the developer's (buy more kobans) advantage, along with the (buy more kobans) backers and other type (buy more kobans) of investors. (I would HOPE everyone sees the satirical tone... LOL 😁)

And as a side note (kinda…) how did they come up with this point system? I can battle a guy close to my level in the Arena and get a whopping 11 EXP points for barely winning, but turn around and get 121 EXP points for b*tch-slapping a level 21 player around in the Tower League? Remember my "kid in a junior dragster with a hopped-up lawnmower engine square off against John Force and the full Castrol Funny Car Team" comment? The current points system would have the Mr. Force and the Castrol Team taking home a million dollar prize for beating the kid and a handshake for winning the Gator Nationals, that's just silly. 🤨

The Goddess of Random numbers is decidedly fickle b*tch to be sure... I've farmed all of the World Bosses enough to get all of their lovely ladies except for Fredy Sih Roko Sensei, he's being a tight-tentacled b*stard and won't let go for sh*t. I've tried refills, prayers, contacted a couple different churches of varying religions, (got told I was crazy and asked NOT to call back) and even thought about sacrificing a virgin, (had to give that up, couldn't find one..) all to no avail, but I intend to keep trying. Good luck with your quest.

So far the only thing I can say about the Leagues is that the current bracketing system is kinda, well... f*cked up. (for lack of a better term, my apologies for the implied profanity) The "League" bracket that I am in has a player at level 21 and a player at level 288. How the h*ll does that work? That's kind of like going to the drag races and watching a kid in a junior dragster with a hopped-up lawnmower engine square off against John Force and the full Castrol Funny Car Team. Can we say "Canon Fodder"? I personally think there should be more thought put into leveling the brackets out to pit high level players against each other and lower level players the same opportunity so that they can advance in the game. (Maybe Levels 1-50 in their own, 51-100 in another and so on.) To drop a player into a situation where they can look at the majority of the other players in their "League" being 100 plus levels ahead of them will kinda give them the, "Well THIS is f*cking pointless," mindset and discourage them from playing. Discouraged players play less and ultimately leave the servers for other pursuits, ultimately costing the developers, their company and their backers money. Just saying...

Just to check... I went into the Arena with Maxed out Energy and zero Combativity points and did three arena battles, no loss of energy and no restrictions from having no Combativity points. 🤔
