DHarry Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 "clearly" I'm sure that if I had studied the timer I would have noticed, but I didn't. Lesson learned. I guess it's smart to make this stress point on the server separate from the regular deadline to prevent lag or worse. Still, it could have been mentioned in the announcement I got pop up twice for the event? Well, water under the bridge... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But regardless of reason, they did a pretty shit job of notifying players of the early end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 5th at 58k. I was waiting until the last 2,5-3 minutes, if the first guy or somebody else from the top 4 would start scoring to decide whether to go for top 1, or go for top 4. I was planning to do refills for ~ 80-85k points quickly and check the standings. But just about time, when I started to smash refill\execute x15 button, a huge server lag appeared. So I couldn't check the standings anymore, I had to act. I calculated the number of refills to beat top 1 guy with 101k beforehand, so in this "stress" situation I decided to stick to the plan and did the calculated refills (well, frankly, when I was doing them through the lag I was just doing as much refills as I could, but I was counting them 😃 and, luckily, did the planned amount). I was in pure dark about my opponents actions, but, luckily, they just decided to do nothing (or couldn't do anything because of the lag). I finished doing everything just in time, at the very last 10-5 seconds. Pure luck. 😀 Sounds reasonable. My solution to this is have different game pages in different tabs. Of course, playing this on a desktop has it's advantages, and that's one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I wouldnt be surprised if some of the spenders/people that dont care about kobans did a shitload of missions and collect none of them so that they could stomp in XP contests... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelom Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Coming back to the second day of the contests, the Pachinko and Ymen Donation one. Did I said two days ago that 500 M Ymens would suffice? Perhaps I was a bit short. One player has spent 250 M in the first hour! Well, now I don't have to hold back anymore thinking on the league 😈 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've saved up combativity from the league and that free pack we got one time for an event a few days later before. It's valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were actually a couple of regulars on the Discord doing this exact thing. When you consider the amount of Kobans spent for league refills vs the amount of Kobans lost from not completing dailies, it ends up being roughly the same sort of point value per Koban. As for myself, my main snuck into top 25 with no Kobans spent on this first day. All according to keikaku. And apparently I wasn't being too optimistic with my alt. Filya got on day one (3rd place position) also with no Kobans spent. I guess I'll collect some Mythic orbs there... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zteev Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 For those 6x Mythic Pachinko orbs, the value is really in the 5 Legendaries, right? 25 random girl shards doesn't seem to be too great, but I guess they can add up if you get enough, or need few girls..

Baycastle Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Ok, so first impressions of this event: Pros: + Filya is great. Fantastic art! Just wish the rest looked like that! Cons: - I don't like competing with other players for girls, even though it is pretty easy. I got Filya first day, spent about 1200 kobans. Probably didn't have to do that but I don't want the stress. This event was not as bad as I feared, but I much prefer the POA myself were I am not dependent on what other players do. Great kinkiod that you are trying new things and developing the game! Pssst, perhaps some new champions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulli23 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 So I was trying to snipe a top 4 spot this morning: and suddenly the servers lagged out 5 minutes before the timer ended? Just random timeout preventing me from sending or clicking anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
