AAA

[frank aurora]

You should not have cheated ressource and medals, hero. 🤣

[humble cobalt]

lol woot, that special raid is sure going to bring me some cash. 11.74a on level 1 lol

How did they figure you used an auto-clicker btw? Just assumed you cheated because you reached the 100M medals that even Kong ended considering impossible?

[frank aurora]

More than a thousand times what I get...

Your reward from the event, not the medals.

[tall carbon]

I said it in the discord 1 month prior, maybe some mentally ill person reported me, or maybe they just assumed I reached 100M too quick, they won't reveal.

[humble cobalt]

So money reward is caped at 2.12b for special raid?

[humble cobalt]

oops wrong chat

[dreamy epoch]

If it was the later, I suppose they banned all accounts over 100M medals?

[dreamy epoch]

This is probably the most boring game of the ones made by kong squad

[cyan kraken]

hardest impossible badge ever made

[tall carbon]

then they only found me, because the others with over 100M medals didn't even play the game...

[tall carbon]

damn, I was recording myself playing the last 20 levels for the Impossible badges compilation, but then I remember that level 100 is for the hard badge and I already got the impossible...

[dreamy epoch]

Sad if you were the only truly affected

[dreamy epoch]

Yup, it is just a farming game. Lvl 10 is not that different from 66, and I don't expect it to be very different from lvl 100 too

[cyan kraken]

imagine having an hard badge that you have to get AFTER an impossible

[tall carbon]

Level 70+ aren't even possible without power ups, unless you stop playing and resume the next day, then they look like easy again... not sure if I'm making things up or they actually coded something like that

[cyan kraken]

mostly because of high hp jellyfishes right ?

[tall carbon]

and eggs

https://i.imgur.com/98fLgEL.png

[cyan kraken]

oh yeh screw eggs

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/ppdqYzO.png

a lot of them

[cyan kraken]

(also why does the game punish you for clearing the entire screen)

[tall carbon]

aight those are the screens for level 83, I'll be back tomorrow to prove my theory

[sage abyss]

Shielded items are random I think, so it just may be possible by rolling extra ball every time-ish

Still a true penis-worthy design

[dreamy epoch]

My lvl 70

[sage abyss]

don't you love that jellyfish have sex multply off screen?

[dreamy epoch]

Nope

[frank aurora]

Oh, would you rather that they multiply on screen then, Fabdlnltc?

[dreamy epoch]

Of course (?

[sage abyss]

if this doesn't sum up this game idk what will

[dire flax]

I'd say you're right

[sage abyss]

[tall carbon]

ding!

[sage abyss]

now onto carpentry

:kongDeadinside:

[tall carbon]

yes start chopping

[sage abyss]

wym chopping

you can buy oak logs in dorpat

I especially saved my 500k rpg mo coins to buy as much carp as possible

[tall carbon]

I think it will cost well over 2 millions

but I don't remember exactly

I chopped half and bought the rest I think

[sage abyss]

Yeah, well over is unfortunately true

If I were to buy oak logs from a vendor it would take 7.5m right now (half of it if I were to wait for 2x)

[tall carbon]

always wait 2x lul

[sage abyss]

🔔

[cunning mango]

nice!
i should work on that one, seems like pretty cool game
how long do the badges take

[tall carbon]

ding

a week for for all but 2

a hard takes some 3 wekks maybe

and the impossible 2 months maybe

which is, acceptable

and you can do it much faster if you put in the hours

you aren't really locked in progress

[frank aurora]

"Acceptable"... The damage is already done, it seems...

[sage abyss]

The game is actually pretty great, if I hadn't sold my soul to OSRS it might've become my "the MMO" to play

The only thing holding me back from praising it more is the utter state of confusion I'm in when doing anything

[sage abyss]

For what it's worth there is about 2 4 weeks of 2x xp going in RPG MO, so it's a great time to grind those badges down

[frank aurora]

Meh. I was not really hooked when I tried it... but I guess that I will have to try once I am not with Trif... truf... traf?... Well, once I am done with the game I started this week. Is this experience boost really good? How much does it impact badge grind time?

[sage abyss]

I'd recommend Trifling Truffle Trouble in extremely small doses, the EXP boost is fantastic, you could probably do everything but the imp in the span of 1 week with the boost active

(usually you do material gathering in 1x just to boost craft skills during 2x, it's that good)

[frank aurora]

What about the impossible badge?

[sage abyss]

If you were to focus a lot of hours, you'd probably get it in 2 weeks

[frank aurora]

Define "a lot".

[sage abyss]

You'd need to kill ~1 million health on the Cordial mode (that grants double Health xp but nothing else), given that I can get through about 1000 hp an hour with mediocre stats I guess it'd take you the entire 120+ possible hrs while making a good build of which I have 0 knowledge

While possible, it'd definitely strain enjoyment quite a bit

[cunning mango]

i tried rpg MO, wasnt too bad but i didnt like the layout too much
time to start grinding that one too ig

[frank aurora]

I am not going to spend that many hours in only two weeks... Nonetheless, I could still progress far...
Fine, doing that after Trif... blablabla.

[sage abyss]

you're going to hate yourself once you reach lvl 70

[frank aurora]

Unable to remember the name of that game. Haha, jellyfish killed the remnants of my brain.

I reached it yesterday...

After losing my sanity (apparently, I still had some sanity left) on level 64.

[cunning mango]

how long does your character grind for in RPG MO while you go afk?

[sage abyss]

In combat? Not at all. In gathering/processing? Until full inventory, but be aware that there are CAPTCHAs to solve when performing actions sometimes, 5 captchas lost in a row is a soft ban (technically a mod can take you out of jail, but it's unlikely)

You have 3 mins to solve a captcha once it's on screen, and they're not difficult at all

[cunning mango]

oh ok. damn. was hoping i could leave this game on overnight n then check out progress in the morning

[frank aurora]

"Captcha"?

[cunning mango]

at least i can leave it on n keep my eye on it while i do other stuff

[sage abyss]

yeah it's not an idle game whatsoever

[sage abyss]

As a reward you get a token amount of XP in a skill of your choice when solved

[frank aurora]

What the hell?

[sage abyss]

It's there to stop rudimentary bots

[frank aurora]

I have trouble reading that kind of things half of the time. 😭

[sage abyss]

You can reroll 2 or 3 times (can't remember) so you'll most likely get it 🙂

The number stays the same, the font changes

[cunning mango]

how significant is the XP bonus?

like i feel like early game its really good but how good is it later on?

[sage abyss]

The Captcha XP scales with lvl, although it's nothing to write home about

As you can see I get 250 (500 because of 2x) when I need 15k to next level

[cunning mango]

ah ok

[sage abyss]

It's useful to skip early Carpentry as the basic logs give .1 xp per log which is atrocious and possibly avoid farming entirely, but otherwise it's just "yet another" xp source

[cunning mango]

so significant enough to not go "this xp bonus is worthless!" but not enough to go "i can level up just by solving a handful of captchas". interesting.
i'll get on RPG MO soon, maybe after i get 14/50 on inc cubes challenges

[sage abyss]

Just farm the first challenge, it goes by super fast with the attack helper

[cunning mango]

thats what i was doing, but i had to stop to push my max dmg
been trying out oneshot challenge n i can already see that grinding those will take forever

[sage abyss]

The very moment you can buy 1% attack, you'll kill cubes up to lvl 10 with one swing (assuming you boosted the single attack with the tick speed manip)

[cunning mango]

yep. save up for billion cubes n then nuke to your target phase
gotta have good max dmg tho, otherwise you'll go pretty slow after t2

[sage abyss]

I focused badges, so I never got past t2 😄

[cunning mango]

nuking method is also good for quick skill point gain b4 you start another challenge. i always get at least a few thousand this way
but you gotta prestige afterwards, otherwise your progress is going to be stupid slow

[sage abyss]

I mean, the progress was very decent from the time I started up until the imp badge

[cunning mango]

for example:

[sage abyss]

the first challenge goes to T1P10 and you can repeat it 50 times for the imp

your stats are so far beyond mine it's insane lol

[cunning mango]

really? im on 12/50 for normal challenges n my next target is t2 p2

[sage abyss]

At least that's how it was on Steam version when I imported the save

[urban prairie]

So you can cheese the impossible badge via steam?

Even more than it already is, because it’s not hard, just time-consuming

[sage abyss]

I mean, every idle "game" is essentially a time spent proof and nothing else

If it weren't a bit too immoral I'd just drop my savefile

[sage abyss]

officially began the hard part of the badge

[tall carbon]

yes

[urban prairie]

And here I am, a fool, doing it on the website

[sage abyss]

It was by complete accident, I find it easier to run a Steam app instead of keeping track of every chrome window

[urban prairie]

I could double check tonight and breeze through it then xP

[sage abyss]

I lost my savefile in Trifling Truffle Trouble

(The powerups burned to bruteforce through Lvl 70™️ of course stayed used up)

[frank aurora]

Aw! That's rude!

[dire flax]

that was a good one to work on. love me some good puzzles

[sage abyss]

Gz! Roughly how long did it take you? I blazed through to level 33, do the puzzles get harder after 3 colours?

[dire flax]

stretched it over a few days. I think I'd say...4 hours? 6? Something like that. Difficulty picked up around 50 and there would be easy levels every once in a while (as a break i guess)

[sage abyss]

Interesting, I found it only easier after lvl 48

The game is still excellent though and I encourage everyone to get the badges in it!

[dire flax]

yaaaa around 48 something like that

[sage abyss]

I didn't need to get 61 Carpentry!

[cunning mango]

what i do for forging xp atm:
-buy iron ore instead of digging it up
-smelt it all
-craft iron stuff, then recycle it
-repeat previous step until you need more iron
-repeat from step 1

[sage abyss]

If you're willing to be just a bit slower, you can buy copper and tin in Dorpat and sell bronze bars on market

A lot of money can be made that way

You used to be able to buy skulls (50 each) in Reval and sell bone helms (4 skulls) to Dorpat Blacksmith for breakeven, but they nerfed it

Probably still a worthwhile smithing idea, but recycle the helms instead, but it's a guaranteed loss now

[cunning mango]

im prolly doing something wrong but it works n it doesn't cost me much

[sage abyss]

Nah, it's perfectly fine as long as you factor in losses for terrible smithing chances of iron

[cunning mango]

gathering event items from scavenger hunts n selling them on market got me a ton of money, people will pay a ton for them. im at 600k now xD

[sage abyss]

(600k isn't really that much money I'm afraid)

Although I did get both a Fledgling drop and Apple Pants

[cunning mango]

nice!
i got fledgling and baby pelican but then i died n lost the baby pelican :(

[sage abyss]

Did you not equip the pelican?

You always keep the pet and its inventory on death

[cunning mango]

i had fledgling equipped

[sage abyss]

😦

Well, a bit after the fact, but always put important items in pet inv before a risky fight

Also you can buy teleport scrolls from a city's magician, so it's always a good idea to have one on you

[cunning mango]

i tried to "cheap teleport" via suicide in clouds n messed up xD

its a good thing i don't care about pet xp

[sage abyss]

My gear costs like 14m, I could never risk deathtps now lol

[cunning mango]

lol

[sage abyss]

Dorpat tp is very cheap to carry for emergencies

[cunning mango]

dorpat has a magician? wow im oblivious

[sage abyss]

nah, the game is actually terrible at explaining itself and the EN chat is rarely helpful or nice to anyone <base 90s

Which is a damn shame I might add

[dreamy epoch]

Untrusted got one badge.... Is it Kong learning self-control?

[tall carbon]

is the game fun? how much is there to learn

it's kinda scary at first glance

[dreamy epoch]

Feels like too much at first glance

[dreamy epoch]

Yup.

But comments says that after 5 games, you will be understanding most roles.... Which still feels as too much. In my case I've done the Basic Tutorial only. The agent tutorial crashes

Feels like a cool game, but, requiring focus on it. Which I can't do it multiple times. Juggling between everything is my passion (?

[tall carbon]

lol I see

will try when I have more time to dedicate

[dreamy epoch]

I think we will need to agree on a time to play it because there are never enough players to play a game

[sage abyss]

Definitely, the game seems fun enough but last time I checked there was 1/16 lobby only

[sage abyss]

A Block Bounty? In the year of Our Lord 2023?

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/FXpnY40.png managed to get medium before easy lol but that's just skill issue

[sage abyss]

Yeah, I played vs 1 easy bot and made 25 flag passes around 60 kills, so I had to make a second game

But as a game I really enjoyed that one~~, which is a refreshing change for badged games recently~~

[tall carbon]

it's fun game, badges are easy, good one

[dire flax]

not bad. for some reason i thought i've played all of these color games but guess not! or played them before badges maybe

[sage abyss]

I love everything Bart puts out

[vital turtle]

Hello, any tips for getting the hard badge for raid heroes dragon age?

I only get green equipment with low stats such as armor with +15 hp

But the purchasable armor is around +130 for 20 kreds. Any way to get it without purchasing?

[sage abyss]

To get better equipment you most likely will have to forge it yourself

With 100 gems it's guaranteed to be you new BiS

[tall carbon]

get banned and claim missing badge

easiest way

[frank aurora]

Dha way.

still banned from this game?

[tall carbon]

yes I am, no answers

and I lost motivation to play any game after I got the badge that way

[frank aurora]

Oh. 😦

[vital turtle]

100 gems to get money?

[sage abyss]

No, in the Workshop you can use 100 coloured gems to make a new gear that will be better than anything you own

[vital turtle]

oh, 100 green gems

then upgrade the green equipment to orange with 100 orange gems

[sage abyss]

Yeah, but I haven't found a need for it yet, since I can still produce a way better green eq

[vital turtle]

thanks! gonna try it though I would need a ton of coins tho

[sage abyss]

Yeah, get Market unlocked ASAP, the free chest in there is nuts

Also prioritize gold mine and town hall, you'll need money for pretty much everything

[sage abyss]

(Diebrary)

The in-game description could not be less helpful if it TRIED

[tall carbon]

gg

[sage abyss]

A friendly reminder to play Dinogen again

[sage abyss]

||they deleted my savefile twice so i might have flunked on a few deadlines at work to get this finished before another save wipe happens||

[dire flax]

hell ya

[magic vine]

what the hell

[frank aurora]

O.O

hax

[magic vine]

it's a glitch

i was just playing the chapter 1

the final level

and it happend

[frank aurora]

How does the leaderboard look like? If the related statistic appear there...

[magic vine]

there no statistic for chapter progress

only arena and player level

[frank aurora]

Ah.

Report that to them.

This is a true badge, it should not suffer from glitches haha.

[magic vine]

can't

i don't know how

it only reports missing badge

not badges you don't deserve

[tall carbon]

just a general report, they can't remove you the badge, or if they do, you won't be able to achieve it anymore

[frank aurora]

Oh no, I was talking about reporting this to the Animation Throwdown developers so that they can fix this and avoid giving the badge when they should not. Also, they could not remove the badge from your profile (even if owned by Kongregate, they are not in the good department for this).

[next mason]

Hello! New here, hope everyone is having fun achievement hunting!

[cunning mango]

hi there!

[dire flax]

yup. got sucked into this game after the BotD 😛

[dreamy epoch]

Hahahah nice, prepare for the last impossible (of 410 achievements)

[sage abyss]

Also save often, it sometimes wipes the autosave

[sage abyss]

I knew it!

[frank aurora]

This much knowledge of the future is abnormal. We shall dissect you and get answers.

[sage abyss]

Sure, beats going to work

[cunning mango]

finally! unfortunately i feel a little square after that one

[sage abyss]

Don't worry, you'll come around

[cunning mango]

lol good one

[frank aurora]

Good, good... it depends on the angle you look at it.

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/VAidaah.png

Pretty sure I can't get the Hard badge just yet... free to play xD

[cunning mango]

im working on that one rn
what did y'all invest your gems in? so far I've bought 150% extra dmg cuz why not. seemed better use of 500 gems than the +1 skill lvl upgrade

[little tangle]

Those badges look hot damn

Im on vacation so i didnt check em out

[tall carbon]

yeah I spent all on damage and money

50 and 75

[silk cave]

one more kongsquad imp left and i (possibly) never have to look at a laggy kongpanion again

[tall carbon]

lol gg

[little tangle]

They look tasty don't ey

[tall carbon]

they do

[little tangle]

Yeah

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/JoUHq3r.png not particularly difficult in terms of puzzle

[sage abyss]

Yeah, the only tbing that may stop you is the guessing levels and physics shenanigans

[cyan kraken]

phantogone has no right to be an impossible

[frank aurora]

"No" right? Is not this a hard one that would have actually deserved the impossible rank?

I might mix it up with another one, however.

[thin echo]

Anyone knows why the easy badge was removed from fancy pants world 1?

[tall carbon]

prob wasn't working idk

[thin echo]

Flash badges normally require you asking support to unlock it

[cyan kraken]

it requires beating the game (mighty knight
But the game isn't that hard , altho people tends to not use runes from what i've seen , and the game REALLY expect you to use some for like the final 2 worlds

if runes didn't exist this game would definitly be an impossible , but all you have to do is like 15 levels and a little bit of a grind for the final boss (he's fine even without maxed upgrades)

[frank aurora]

I just checked and this is indeed the game I was thinking about. I remember struggling A LOT with the boss, even when having everything maxed out.

I still do not understand your message from yesterday ("phantogone has no right to be an impossible").

[tall carbon]

I don't remember the game at all but I got the hard badge on day 2, along with the medium badge

[frank aurora]

...

[cyan kraken]

it's pretty short for an impossible , and the game isn't that hard
If kingdom rush 100% is an hard , then how the hell is this one an impossible

[frank aurora]

It is NOT.

This is a hard badge.

[frank aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/no-i-dont-want-tongue-out-bleh-mood-gif-15307528

[tall carbon]

in 2014 xD

[frank aurora]

Well... I did not get them in a go, for sure:

[tall carbon]

lmaoo

[cyan kraken]

I should try beating mighty knight without runes to see how hard it is

[frank aurora]

It is already hard with every runes!

[cyan kraken]

im expecting the final boss to be an huge pain

[frank aurora]

Oh, it is.

[cyan kraken]

no regen rune means the allies won't live for that long

And stats are heavely reduced compared to with runes

[clear umbra]

I just got the orbular and streamline impossible achievements on back to back days

btw does anyone know how to trigger the caravaneer achievement

https://imgur.com/a/H0VkWtt

Like, i have 20k in money, i tried buying 20k worth of clothes then leaving and it didnt trigger. Is there a specific type of asset i need to buy, i use pale moon with built-in browser flash

[dreamy epoch]

Caravaneer achievements doesn't work, even with flash. The game stopped submitted a very way ago. The worst thing is that the last badge doesn't have a screen to see that

So, to report that game and get the badge for sure, I continued playing up to getting 1 million in money, so I could show how much money I had, how many weight I could carry and how many thing I was carrying

Luckily, there is a point in the game that getting that big amount of money is very easy. I think you had to look for a sargeant (the president require you this task), and then escolt him to the big city. The president then gives you a big prize, and gets very easy to make multiple millions....

But with 1 million is enough

[clear umbra]

do you know how long before you get a response for missing badges?

[dreamy epoch]

It depends. In my case took more than 10 days because they were on holidays and I had to wait until someone got to work. (It is a manual process, verification)
It should be around 3 business days though, sometimes more, sometimes less. It really depends on someone being there working; on how many reports they get, and in how much time they feel like working 😅

[frank aurora]

It could also be a few seconds;. It happened to me once, a very long time ago. I ended up wondering if the process had been somehow automated haha. Do not count too much on that nowadays, however... Expect the report to be... erm... dealt with during next week.

Also, kongratulations of these two badges, Downpour!

[clear umbra]

thank you it was so much easier to get than when i was younger

[cunning mango]

after an hour of getting mad at my rng in this game i really overkilled the imp badge

[dreamy epoch]

Woooow, nice! How hard it was?

How long did it take to you since the first time you played it?

[tall carbon]

nice! gg very good one

[cunning mango]

don't remember getting 120k previously
that particular round wasn't too hard because i was able to get the right gear/spells. but it's often hard at the beginning, gets a little easier, then gets harder with some of the stronger enemies later

[frank aurora]

Nice one!

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/gNSKO72.png

[dire flax]

this diebrary impossible badge is funny. just tapped a magnet and get hearts. come on.... XD

naaaa the magnet gets picked up with pickup range. oy

so we want no pickup range to get this badge i guess. no prob

[tall carbon]

gg

how hard was it from 1 to 10

[dark dock]

Got mine too today. Played this game like 5 rounds in total or so. Didn't even know the requirements for the impossible badge lolz

[dire flax]

10 being hardest, I'd give it a 2

i got all the badges again for Diebrary but it says i have 17/19 on top of the screen? silly 🙂

[tall carbon]

that's a bit of the problem, an impossible badge should be 9 o 10 xD

I have 18/19 now, I did do the missing badge request at the beginning, but I'm still missing thepet rescue plot twist, I don't know if it actually works or what you have to do..

[silk cave]

for some reason i got it dying right after getting 7 pets, not rlly sure if that was a bug or intended

[tall carbon]

I should try to die then, I won for at least 2 times with exactly 7 pets, and more times with 8+ pets, but never got it

[dire flax]

Agreed. I imagine it may have been a 3 or 4 without all the upgrades? But still an easy impossible badge imo.

[clear umbra]

Does anyone know how to make the ships visible in Asteroids Revenge III - Crash to Survive

[tall carbon]

might be a ruffle bug, try with bluemaxima's flashpoint?

[sage abyss]

time to see what was this badge for

ohh, heart pickups. Yeah, health is overrated

[sage abyss]

🕺

[cunning mango]

this one doesn't seem too hard but idk im just farming daily rewards rn cuz 50 rounds will take me at least an hour which i don't have atm
maybe today I'll have time for this one

[tall carbon]

yeah just daily farm, also got the impossible way earlier than the hard badge, but the game is cool I'm still getting the dailys 😛

[sage abyss]

Truth be told it's not THAT bad, but you definitely need to be on top of econ to get it soon-ish

(worst part is you can't[citation needed] build uncommons for easy energy production)

*I didn't risk building anything but Stings

[tall carbon]

that's how it works, as soon as you buy something else the count stops

but you can spend all the money in artifacts

[sage abyss]

I mean, the late wave strat is to max artifacts anyway

I believe I was 30/30/27 by wave 50

[clear umbra]

are you allowed to request achievements using flashpoint

[tall carbon]

I think so

[frank aurora]

Yes, you are. However, you might to prefer to get your badges normally by playing with Adobe Flash Player. You will find all of the instructions in the following forum thread: https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/1954038-usermade-solution-to-the-flash-games-situation

[clear umbra]

the game glitches in flash

[frank aurora]

Oh?

Where do the ships become invisible?

[tall carbon]

just tried it, so it opens the game in a new window, the badges will work that way? 😮

[frank aurora]

???

I am playing the game normally here... this is weird!

Oh, there are comments about invisible ships from 2020... but I did not encounter this bug. I also got the badges in 2021 and was not aware of that bug. strange. Which browser are you playing the game in, Downpour?

[clear umbra]

pale moon since i want to get badges automatically

[frank aurora]

Weird...

There was something in the comments about a glitch related to... something. Could this be your solution?

[clear umbra]

i dont know how to modify the inspector in pale moon

also the way i get badges is i only allow myself to play games on the first page of oldest

loll

ngl i dont know how more people dont have the asteroids speed demon badge, you get used to the game after a few attempts

[little tangle]

Omg i shouldn't have attempted the tower of greed imp thinking it was a piece of cake

[frank aurora]

Good luck with this one, it is a frustrating badge.

[dreamy epoch]

Wow, seriously? 😮

[tall carbon]

wasn't that bad, you gotta learn all the floors

how to execute them

[frank aurora]

Dumb mistakes are so easy to make.

Oh, and also... I HATE THOsE POGO sTICKs

[dreamy epoch]

I think I understand...

For you tower of greed is like balloon invasion for me

Easy..... But deserves so much hate....

[frank aurora]

Ballon Invasion? Aw, this game is just long.

[dreamy epoch]

And repetitive

[frank aurora]

Indeed.

It does not have any pogo stick, though.

[little tangle]

Fr the pogo sticks are annoying

but there is some annoying platforms like going for white gems but can't get back up

[cunning mango]

timing is also large part of it
some floors i can grab the gems i want, others i gotta rush past
better to move on than stay to get as much as possible

[clear umbra]

does anyone know how to do the hard badge in oroboros

[clear umbra]

got it, it was really not obvious you could change stats mid level

but after that it was pretty easy

[tall carbon]

For some reason I did all Aces in 2012 but never finished in < 160 seconds xD

[sage abyss]

you're on fire m8

[tall carbon]

I'm on a streak!

[sage abyss]

Now do SCGMD2 next

(i was messing in my pale moon scripts and learned it was removed from Kong 😦 )

[tall carbon]

already have all the music games xD

including SCGM, Dj Maniax, a Santa Christmas piano game I remember it was such a struggle

[frank aurora]

You are on a steak, which is on fire.

Gah, this was a reply to a few messages above but I had not realized that there were other messages after...

[sage abyss]

There's a nifty "Reply" feature on Discord, never look like a fool again!*

• Looking not like a fool not guaranteed. Consult your doctor for further advice

[frank aurora]

Yes, I know. Again, I had not realied that there were messages after.

[little tangle]

dammit was gonna snag the imp first try

welp now im gonna suffer getting hit by the yellow ball cannon

[sage abyss]

i still can hear the intro from multiple resets

the voices never stop

[livid maple]

Since the forums will be deleted, this page will be gone too :(

I already downloaded it, but I think it would be useful for new users to have access to it somehow

[tall carbon]

along with hundreds of other posts

[frank aurora]

If only there was a way to archive web pages... We could even call it, I do not know... the wayback machine?

I will probably edit the thread a bit and archive another version within the next few days. I checked and every links on the page should be valid, also.

[livid maple]

Yeah, if only...
Thanks, hahaha. Totally forgot that :P

[sage abyss]

it's probably worth forking Pale Moon to have the Flash player and Tampermonkey with kong scripts preinstalled

Especially since Kong tampermonkey scripts are very hard to find nowadays with the main page used to share them seems to not be working

[frank aurora]

Wow, too complicated. With how fast the potentially interested playerbase is shrinking, it is absolutely not worth it.

Also, a fork with Flash installed would probably be illegal.

What do you mean by "the main page used to share them seems to not be working"? The thread on the forum is still here... somewhere... For the time being, I mean.

[sage abyss]

https://userscripts.org/scripts/show/27015

Can you load anything from userscripts besides the cat on the main page?

The script above should be some form of Kong One

[dreamy epoch]

Hahahahaha that's true. I hear the music in my head too hahaha but I think it is because I played it a lot of times, got the impossible badge on different profiles too

[dreamy epoch]

Probably no. In that case someone will have to maintain it and keep looking closely to their releases. Too much work for something that every user could do in a couple of minutes

[little tangle]

Great now i can't physically get the streamline imp cause it lags

[cyan kraken]

reload the page ?

[little tangle]

i always lose one life at the final part

[frank aurora]

Aaaah okay! You were talking about the site hosting them. Yes, userscripts.org left the world of the living ages ago, then replaced by Greasy Fork... and one or two others. All the Kongregate scripts hosted on userscripts.org were put by someone on Greasy Fork however (besides a few ones, as reuested by their authors) and you can find the link to the page on the Kongregate thread dedicated to it if I am not mistaking.

[sage abyss]

Yeah, I did grab some (and wrote one), but the best ones are either too reliant on old design or MIA

Although the script to add the Beta logo to the new logo is wonderfully janky

[frank aurora]

"MIA"?

[sage abyss]

Missing In Action

[frank aurora]

Okay.

Well, yes... I only used (and am still using) one, but I had to update it.

[silk cave]

idk why i didn't do this one sooner but way easier than i remembered despite the lag

[frank aurora]

Hmm... I am failing to remember this game.

Besides this screen haha.

Woot, KongBot became KaungBot!

[tall carbon]

gg! I remember that one very well

It was one of my first impossible badges, and when I got it I shared it in chat, and they all bullied me to admit I was cheating because nobody gets the badge without cheating

and I was noo I didn't cheat 😢

[frank aurora]

Hahaha

I see that your cheating record started a long time ago...

[tall carbon]

nooo I didn't !!! arharhar

[little tangle]

ill attempt that badge after i beat streamline's

[sage abyss]

(jkjkjk)

[little tangle]

i got close to getting it the thing stopped but they went back and tricked me

[sage abyss]

You'll get it soon enough, memorization is key

But are 60 points worth not being able to unhear this?

[little tangle]

jesus the anxiety is nosebleeding

[sage abyss]

Congrats!

[little tangle]

Thanks

finally done with this nightmare

[sage abyss]

you'll wake up in a cold sweat, the sound of bitcrushed song still in your ears

[little tangle]

the song hurt my ears

[sage abyss]

Do check the original I've linked

It's way better quality than AS2

[tall carbon]

gg! cool badge

[little tangle]

id say a lot are cooler

[sage abyss]

it's an iconic impossible, one of the first skill based as opposed to time based

[little tangle]

The yellow cannon and final room are scary

[sage abyss]

bombs can s my d, one of the only truly random elements in the game

Especially when one of the particles flies off screen then jumpscares you a good 10s later

[little tangle]

i just hate the ones that fall from sky and they run so fast you can't even dodge properly

so you just gotta go random directions and hope not to get hit

the final room is pain you can get jumpscared by a cannon ball when you're busy dodging the levers

[cunning mango]

i like that song. also for the last room iirc i went in a diagonal oval of some sort

[cyan kraken]

Despite having everything needed to use flash , it insist on using ruffle
Anyone knows why ?

[frank aurora]

... Is Greasemonkey enabled? What about my script?

Are the "Flash", "superNova" and "Ruffle" buttons missing?

[cyan kraken]

there's the buttons

clicking on flash just do nothing and reloads Ruffle instead

[frank aurora]

What is your version of the script?

[cyan kraken]

6.0

[frank aurora]

Oh!

Update to version 6.2.1.

We will see if it is enough.

Wait, before you should enable automatic updates.

Nevermind, Greasemonkey cannot disable them.

... Apparently.

[cyan kraken]

automatic updates are currently on , not sure on how to make it detect tho

[frank aurora]

Ah, it can:

Oh, weird.

Anyway, go to https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/438325-kongregate-flash-games-fixer and update manually.

[cyan kraken]

oh k

[frank aurora]

It updated today?

[cyan kraken]

I installed it today

[frank aurora]

To this version, or do you need to reload the browser to get the latest?

...

Which link did you use?

It should have installed the latest version... unless you specifically went to an old version page.

[cyan kraken]

forgot , I got it by going through the links in here

alright works fine , thanks

[frank aurora]

Okay, this is my fault. You followed the archived version of the thread... which contained a link to the archived page of version 6.0... -_-

Meaning that people would not install from Greasemonkey... and not even benefit from the automatic updates. I am fed up...

Did this update the script, or do you now have two different versions at once?

[cyan kraken]

updated

anyway time to do the gemcrafts badge
This is going to take a while

[frank aurora]

Okay... weird...

gOOD LUCK§

Good luck!

Okay, the new URL is https://web.archive.org/web/20230904134953/https://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/1954038-usermade-solution-to-the-flash-games-situation
There should be no problem from now on. I will also edit my message from yesterday with the not-perfect link...

[humble cobalt]

Got an impossible badge without even trying. That's a first

[frank aurora]

Haha, yeah same. I was greatly helped by the fact that half of my movement keys are broken, though...

[little tangle]

that fold imp is making me suffer

it can be so easy but difficult when u reach certain levels

when u reach hexagon of doom from there every level is pain and can take all your lives

[silk cave]

there’s some decently consistent tricks you can do with most of the later ones nd restarting as soon as you’re in danger

tho it does get so annoying especially when it just decides to lag for no reason or not register smth😔

[little tangle]

there's a precise trick you need to pull off in this level where you stand next to the edge and teleport to the portal

but it a small chance of workin

you either miss the portal

or you fall

it can take up all 4 of ur lives

[silk cave]

i honestly just did the slow but safe strat for that one

[little tangle]

and i hate when you're in bubble the controls become backward and i run into a spike

(im gonna post my review and each level after hexagon of doom)

[silk cave]

especially when you’re sideways half the time it just doesn’t click

wooo

[little tangle]

there's certainly no fun in funnel here

the backwards control really f you up when you take the leap of faith

you can get lucky by surviving by a pixel

oh no

this one is ughm scary

i was cheesing it on my earlier attempts

but rn i just can't seem to do it

and finally U-turn

here's my strat for it (which worked on ghost mode)

two up bubbles there and hopefully you dodge the spike

The End

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/lgHlx2k.png

colourPod 2: dimensionPod is HARD

[clear umbra]

I got the fold impossible badge also

Gravitee why

[tall carbon]

gravitee strategy

put a piece of paper on the screen

and write down the pixels where to click lmao

[dreamy epoch]

HAhahaha I did that toooo!! The same for pyro

But, I didn't use a piece op paper exactly, I used the plastic cover that used to came on those screens 😛

[tall carbon]

ahahah nice

[clear umbra]

is there a way to find what pixel your number your mouse is in a window

[dreamy epoch]

I think he wasn't talking about a software solution, but to actually take a paper, place it on your screen, position it to stick to one corner, and use a pen to mark in the paper the points on your screen that lead to your right result.
If you have multiple points and don't remember the order, you can write a number next to the point to remember the ordering. Nothing fancy

Nice tool here, thanks to Kong forums before dying: https://zalbee.intricus.net/kong/badgerank.php

[sage abyss]

Ooooh, that's a nice tool indeed!

[cyan kraken]

why does cursed treasure badges gave more user earned then plays ???

[tall carbon]

Also it's not totally updated, I guess the update is manual, but yes, very nice tool

[cyan kraken]

uh , my first badges were learn to fly elephant quest and btd
great games

[sage abyss]

I do wish Badge menu gets through an overhaul of some sort to help us hopeless overachievers

[frank aurora]

Woah! Well done! Everytime I tried playing this... I could not finish it because it was taking too much time...

[frank aurora]

Because the HTML5 version of the game was released as a separate entry from the Flash version and the badges were moved to the new version. This caused some.. weirdnesses in the statistics for these badges.

[tall carbon]

you know right, very long and boring and then suddently becomes impossible xD

[dreamy epoch]

Why do you say that? Feels like some periodical process should be there updating the data because most recent badges are there

Even the newest diebrary ones are there. Good thing is that it shows all removed badges too

[sage abyss]

You say good, I say bad. It's very confusing to have badge% be obscured by unobtainables

[dreamy epoch]

It is to remember you that you can't 100% complete badges anymore.... stupid backyard monsters and caesary badges

Two days of waiting a loader to complete in backyard monsters to get the game removed on the last fifteen minutes

Caesary lived short

And other badges like ring pass not where like... okay, I still wanted to achieve them

[tall carbon]

oh it's bern updated then xd

[dreamy epoch]

Dreamworld badges are going to become the rarest ones

[tall carbon]

far orion impossible will be, depending on how many cheaters will get it

or if they decide to remove it

[sage abyss]

far orion's badge is ridiculous

you'd have to become one of the very best players to get it

Dream World's badges are """just""" an extreme version of an idle game

[cyan kraken]

Didn't like no one legitimatly do Dream World impossible level badge or something ?

Also , incremental hero 2 requiring more then a year of playing every hour

Yeah 10000 swarms , which are one every hour

A bit more then a year if you do one every hour
Altho good Luck doing it under 3 years , require some heavy commitment

[tall carbon]

I imagined Incremental hero was also like that, but I only played it for a while so I didn't calculate... 3 YEARS??? wow..

They can't leave such badges on the site

[cyan kraken]

That's the swarm quest
No clue how Bad the other quests are

(lets be thankful they don't add more NGU idle badge)

This game is LONG

[cyan kraken]

About 1 year and 2 months minimum for the swarm badge
2 year and an half is maybe possible if you're really dedicated to it , but if someone wants to get it I feel like 3 years is more realistic

But yeah multi year long badges are a thing now , even if it seems like they stopped

Crush crush , idling to rule gods , Dream World , far orion...

[tall carbon]

they tecnicaly stopped AFTER those

and those were the problematic badges xD

[cunning mango]

for crush crush i kinda cheated so it only took a few months xD i wonder if I can do the same with some of the others

[tall carbon]

you can cheat the local time or smth?

[cyan kraken]

yeah basically

besides the spam reset for max time boost takes like 1 day if you do that
Still cheating tho

[tall carbon]

still need to collect the money tho

unless the time travel also give you money

anyway the gameplay is literally not play and come back in another couple months so xD

[cunning mango]

time travel does give money iirc
also crush crush was what got me to finally install an autoclicker

[dreamy epoch]

A forever on going bug there, if you change your system time, the game will reflect as advanced that time.
You can't advance more than a week per change because the game consider that as having leaving the game. No risks in Kongregate version, but yes on the platforms having event participation.

So, by abusing that bug, you could complete the game in a couple of hours

[tall carbon]

interesting, but I already maxed out the multiplier as free to play so

I'll just wait xD

[clear umbra]

Thanks for the paper info

[cyan kraken]

I have a black screen on a lot of games , no clue why :/

is it because of the maintenance ?

[tall carbon]

yep, they killed ruffle

and everything

[sage abyss]

murdered it to death

[tall carbon]

I hope it's a bug that they will fix, or I will leave permanently, no reason to stay

[sage abyss]

I'd absolutely hate to be in the developer's shoes right about now

[cyan kraken]

good luck getting more badges when 80% of the game are unavailable

Forge and fortune do work tho , so i'm gonna start working on it I guess

Any tips ?

[sage abyss]

don't sweat producing pinks until later

blues usually will get you through the bosses no problem

[frank aurora]

They managed to break the iframes of the Flash games... Hopefully they will have just accidentally unplug something that can be replugged.
In the worst case, they pushed a big red button...
Let us hope for an easily fixable accident.

[sage abyss]

I mean, I would be fine with an all-in focus on HTML5 games, withmaking all Flash content legacy

[frank aurora]

Focus? Well they stopped adding badges to Flash games, adding new Flash games and featuring Flash badges on the daily rotation... They already seem to be focusing on HTML5 games.

[sage abyss]

I mean, the focus is lukewarm at best with the haphazard approach to the new titles, so I'd like them focus on it a bit harder if you catch my drift

[frank aurora]

The problem is not the focus, but the love they put in their projects.

[sage abyss]

Fair, if we could some of that nowadays we would be golden

Alas, the well has ran dry

[clear umbra]

Man I want to play but my arms are in throbbing pain

[frank aurora]

I am sorry, but coming from someone with a "stickman" as a profile picture, I could not resist smiling.

Is it serious? Or just something that will ease itself before tomorrow?

[tall carbon]

[cunning mango]

finally done with that game. not a bad game tbh but i dont have time to play it every day

[frank aurora]

Which one?

[cunning mango]

monster tiles TD

[frank aurora]

Okay.

I do not even know what it looks like.

[tall carbon]

it's chill tower defense that is supposed to be played like 1-2 rounds a day

for daily bonus

[sage abyss]

Login bonus is applied without playing

[frank aurora]

!

[little tangle]

enchanted cave is a really annoying game

[dire flax]

I don't remember too much about the first one but I absolutely LOVED the second one.

[little tangle]

Oh

the first has 100 floors and if you die on a floor you go back all the way from the beginning without the items you aquired and saves are weird

[dire flax]

Sounds a little wonky. I think it was a kickstarter project so maybe there was some learning to do. Oh well I guess 🙂

[errant crescent]

why did all my saves get deleted, all my games are starting over from 0

[sage abyss]

Have you switched browsers? Or cleared your local storage?

[cunning mango]

rpg mo grind is fun sometimes but mostly hard...can't really do anything to speed it up besides waiting until there's 2x exp events that last for hours
and personally I don't have time to focus on this a whole lot

i thought about making an alt to help me but they don't allow that so maybe some of us can group together and farm resources for the forging/carpentry badges, i would be willing to help with this even after im done with all of the badges

[silk cave]

oh my god d4 is gonna show up in my nightmares that took an hour alone but it's finally done

just wish i got it before it hit 5 hours 😔

[dreamy epoch]

Nice!

[tall carbon]

beamball! nice yes

[sage abyss]

yeah, it's the issue with an MMO badge, you're meant to enjoy the ride, not rush for badges. Do check out NPC stores, as they often have items for cheap or basically free that will get you to high 40s

[cyan kraken]

being in a CS course really helps

easiest hard mode badge for me

[little tangle]

gonna skip enchanted cave badgers for now id rather have fun

[little tangle]

good game

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/PJBME3Q.png

https://i.imgur.com/3RcXITj.png

took me exactly 6 months for the hard badge

the impossible is a no go, goodbye shit game

[frank aurora]

👋

[sage abyss]

Yay, you finished taht russian pos

[sage abyss]

idle game badges will be the end of me i swear

[dreamy epoch]

That's far orion?

[sage abyss]

Correct!

[cyan kraken]

random idle game #345 get badges
Why am I surprised

[sage abyss]

You're surprised because it wasn't an MMO with insanely high badge requirements

[tall carbon]

idle wizard? is that not insane?

[sage abyss]

Technically it takes one person with a comlete savefile to "skip" the game

Something that an MMO can't do

[cyan kraken]

No clue
They really decided to badge the most random and bland idle game
Im not even sure if clicks will scale to idle gain at one point (plus the gameplay is super boring)

[sage abyss]

It's unlikely a new player will get the badges within 365 days

[cyan kraken]

Fun : )

[sage abyss]

So it's about on par for new Kongregate's badges

[sage abyss]

idle game
gameplay
Pick one.

[cyan kraken]

Played like an hour and still didn't get the easy badge

[cyan kraken]

I mean there's some idle game with actually good "gameplay"

[tall carbon]

I guess you can make this doable with local time abusing, that's true, a mmo or cloud game can't do that, it will still take some effort tho

[cyan kraken]

The early game of thisis literally waiting until part of your screen become purple and click that to get a temporary boost gain

Else you gain pretty much nothing

Clicking is USELESS

Probably one of the worst idle game in the website

[frank aurora]

Click click click click click click

[cyan kraken]

Na
You're rewarded for just sitting in front of your screen

[frank aurora]

...

[tall carbon]

autoclicking is heavily limited by the game

[cyan kraken]

Literally a wish version of realm grinder

[sage abyss]

I just want more Loop Loopp Loots or Diebrarys, is that so much to ask for?

[cyan kraken]

Apparently yes

[tall carbon]

they never badged a platformer game either

[sage abyss]

Fancy Pants?

[frank aurora]

Are you kidding? They gave badges to dozens of these!

[tall carbon]

not in the past year

that's what I'm referring to

[frank aurora]

... Oh, I see.

[tall carbon]

all they badge nowdays is idle games and cash grabs

[frank aurora]

Right, the new Kongregate has never badged any.

[tall carbon]

but I finally got the hard badge in cactus mc coy 2 ahhh yes

[thin echo]

Has new Kong received any platformers even?

[dire flax]

trying to think of a decent platformer that came out recently

[sage abyss]

https://www.kongregate.com/games/SojoStudio/viscous-ventures is pretty decent and very recent

[silk cave]

huh, that wasn't even the last badge in it nd it doesn't register anyway but that's a lil weird

[frank aurora]

They also broke that?!

[silk cave]

for a while it was giving me badges but not showing the award page too but it seems like that fixed itself

happened last time there was a connection issue as well so i'm assuming it's just a thing that'll happen from time to time now on kek

[sage abyss]

I didn't get a free SVG with my quests

[dreamy epoch]

Nice, you have to parse that in your head

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/XnP67ye.png A little bit of local time abuse and you're done in a couple days ok

[cunning mango]

awesome! I'll keep that in mind

[primal junco]

yellow!

[cunning mango]

is Aerows Elona Shooter guide still around or did it get perma-deleted?
doubt it would answer a question i have tho

[frank aurora]

No idea. If you have the link, you can throw it in the wayback machine and see.

Elona shooter's guides... Erf, these ones are hugely useful. I hope that someone archived them.

sweet!
biggest tip for me was turning on laptop difficulty mod, makes life so much easier. i didn't realize that you could still get the medals even with mods turned on

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/Hn2dlEH.png

Was fun, took EXACTLY 5 months of grind, but never again.

[frank aurora]

I guess that the badge reuires to reach livello 35... but which game is it?

[dreamy epoch]

Mergest Kingdom

[frank aurora]

Okay.

[silk cave]

gg jesus even level 12 with timeskips was such a pain, i can't imagine

[dreamy epoch]

Finally... Goodbye forever to that laggy thing

[frank aurora]

Which game is that?

[tall carbon]

this is how we roll

[frank aurora]

Feel free to roll however you want to.

They forgot a "G" in the badge's name, then...

[dreamy epoch]

But they remembered to add the killer for its low fun factor

[frank aurora]

Eh.

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/36qXXSq.png

skill issue xD it's the least earned of this game but got it before the medium

[dreamy epoch]

That was the first badge I've earned too! Then I won the others

[frank aurora]

Raid Heroes: Dragon Age is so tedious...

One battle completed every few days. Yay...

[tall carbon]

Wait until they block you because you played from a different IP lmao

[frank aurora]

Haha

I always log in from my living room so everything should go well...

[tall carbon]

but yeah it's painful game

[frank aurora]

Total War is much better that this. They tried to make improvements... but they did the exact opposite. They are truly impressive.

stupid archers never hit.

The begging popups are also getting on my nerves.

[tall carbon]

the rewards are just incredibly useless

[frank aurora]

I would like better bows... but I cannot even find one for my fourth archer.

Oh, and the stats are... terrible. What am I supposed to raise for an archer? The archer stat does not increase damage, just double-damage chance... and by a very small amount...

[tall carbon]

Oh maybe that's why my archers sucks

I think mages are better lol

[frank aurora]

The magic stat is even worse. This is only when it reached near 60 for one of my heroes that I realized that its only use was euipping items (the highest encountered reuirement so far being ... TWO)...

The concept of mages is so bad. They only use magic every once in a while, when very close to enemies... meaning that they must be built as melee fighters in hope that they survive long enough for a shot.

[tall carbon]

there's a wand special bonus that damages all enemies I think if you get a team of those you can get really strong

[frank aurora]

They all do.

[tall carbon]

and build them as melee exactly

[frank aurora]

They die very uickly...

[tall carbon]

at least I encountered a very strong opponent in the arena with a mages team

xD

[frank aurora]

I set their speed to as low as possible in order to earn time, but they do not always stay alive long enough to fire.

I wish they hired Greg back. -_-

[tall carbon]

a Greg-like person lol

[frank aurora]

Yes, and nobody is more Greg-like than Greg.

[cunning mango]

damn rpg mo. I died and lost most of my gear...again. ima just do daily rewards until i can afford to buy myself some new gear :(
the jewelry in particular is usually super expensive

[tall carbon]

ouch that sucks xD

[thin echo]

Greg wants to come back! He just got unlucky and applied already filled positions iirc

[tall carbon]

I got lucky when I started I could drop easter eggs from cows and those were selling pretty well, maybe they will do something similar for halloween? who knows

[vital turtle]

This is patience

But yeah congrats!

[sage abyss]

Less glamorous than a regular pop-up, but I'll take it

[frank aurora]

You can still get the pop-up by completing the badge reuirements, provided the scores submits of course.

... Well, maybe you cannot if you had to report it. Does it submit only once?

[tall carbon]

It might be saved as when you beat your score it says "personal best"

[sage abyss]

the easier badge 🎉

[little tangle]

Im cooking

final setup

nvm got my ass kicked

[little tangle]

Finally done cookin

[tall carbon]

gg

[little tangle]

Thanks

Not really big on rpgs

so it took some time

[sage abyss]

I'm free from this POS

[tall carbon]

freedom! up next, another piece of garbage 😄

[sage abyss]

yes

I need to speedrun OCeania

those people scare me

[tall carbon]

oceania is chill

[sage abyss]

but why do I get a bajilion friend requests as soon as my profile says "Playing Oceania"

who has a bot set up to snipe oceania players 👀

[tall carbon]

they probably already requested you

friends are... very important in oceania xD

[sage abyss]

nah, not really

unless you need to feed an army of kangaroos

Friend actions cannot really impact your island, feeding/healing animals and collecting/reviving crops are actually useful, but most of the time you just get a few extra wood pieces out of it

When it comes to ingredient gathering and structure completion it's still on you and you alone

[tall carbon]

harvesting in your friend islands gives you spices

which you can craft for energy

so you get a lot of extra energy!

[sage abyss]

I'm growing wheat just to burn my spice collection

and it's 3 or 5 per, so okay I guess

[tall carbon]

you also get +2 food per cookie

I haven't crafted food for a while

[sage abyss]

but my cows 😭 they burn through my supplies super fast

[tall carbon]

your friends will take care of your cows lol

[sage abyss]

very rarely

when I had hens they actually got fed by friend visits on the regular, but cows are a different story

[tall carbon]

request all the top players in the leaderboard

[sage abyss]

probably because friend hens are a daily task

[tall carbon]

they have food to spend

[little tangle]

Done cooking again

[dreamy epoch]

Not hard, but first to post it here (?

[tall carbon]

pretty long for free to play, then I had the saving problem, so still grinding on it 😄

[dreamy epoch]

I know. I could had it in two sits with the no-ad anyway. But to be fair, I've had as free to play multiple perks bought before, but lost the progress and started from absolute 0 too

If my progress were still saved, I would have taken less than 8 hours, because I had most perks already bought

[frank aurora]

Ouch...

[tall carbon]

I might have to reset at 47-48 papers because I miscalculated something lol

[dreamy epoch]

But to time travel, not to reset the whole game

[tall carbon]

yeah obv

[tall carbon]

got 2 impossibles in the span of 15 minutes xD

[dreamy epoch]

Niceeee

I'm currently playing One Among Zombies.... I hate my life

[frank aurora]

The zombies will probably solve your problem by turning you into an undead.

[tall carbon]

I'm worried about the "kill a level 25 skeleton", but the bar says 0 / 25

[frank aurora]

I guess that the game reports the levels of the skeletons that you defeat.

...

A pretty odd way to do it.

Or maybe not, actually... I never played this game.

[dreamy epoch]

I hope that's the new shiny way of handling a boolean value

[frank aurora]

Haha

Looking forward to a badge which reuirement will be something like "get blue ending".

"Best so far: 0/blue"?

[tall carbon]

it's levels of the cadaver bossfight, you need to beat the bossfight 25 times I guess, each time more difficult, and someone says it's pretty much impossible

Also there's some hours of delay between each boss attempt

[dreamy epoch]

I don't think so. I think it is beating the new zombie on lvl 25 only

I will try beating the boss to check if it grows to 1/25

[tall carbon]

I beat the boss twice and got 2 / 25

the top guy beat 14

also it says 2/20, meaning it doesn't even exist level 25 ???

[frank aurora]

Push further and tell us!

[tall carbon]

yes, I'll just have to wait 3 more hours to get smashed on level 3

[frank aurora]

This is getting even more ridiculous than it already was.

[dreamy epoch]

Sad

That's worse than I expected

The 500 zombies hard is easier than the medium

Well, in this game, easier means faster

Also, the medium badge is broken

And, I'm not sure if you have a way in game to prove that you crafted many times

[frank aurora]

sigh

[tall carbon]

the medium got fixed

but you have to craft 5 more items

[frank aurora]

.........................

[little tangle]

Im bleeding tears

[frank aurora]

How odd! I already cried blood, but I never bled tears...

[tall carbon]

oh you did it!! gg

[little tangle]

gg

its a nightmare on lost sector

[tall carbon]

those are rewarding badges

[frank aurora]

Absolutely! True impossible badges.

[little tangle]

this is an impossible badge that stands up to its name

unlike others who are just time consuming

im sure there is harder badges than this maybe the money seize one

[frank aurora]

Ugh...

Yes, definitely.

Even though this one is pretty frustrating. I remember that a few bandaids are really hard to get.

[little tangle]

i honestly forgot what other bandaids were like since the last bandaid level was so hard

but i remember some frustrating ones like the killer mountain with a lot of precise jumps and ones where you have to jump a lot and hope to not die

[dreamy epoch]

It is

[sage abyss]

how do I even begin on the seond one

[tall carbon]

you don't, it's unachievable, you could keep on farming for a few days until maybe adrian will pass on the feedback.. or just ignore the game

and don't forget to rate 1/5

[sage abyss]

oh, I always do

most of the games that are recently badged I rate 1/5

[tall carbon]

yeah

[sage abyss]

DIebrary being a notable exception

Level1 cadaver was on par with the 500 zombies difficulty

[tall carbon]

I beat level 2 but 3 is already too strong

best player of the game got 14

and it says, if you open the boss panel, 1 / 20

meaning 25 doesn't even exist

[sage abyss]

I could probably do lvl2, but I have too low acc, lvl 1 was already 85%

[dreamy epoch]

What about burriiittoo?

Or maybe, dinogen?

[sage abyss]

Burrito Bison 3 is an awful cashgrab.
Dinogen was actually fun

[dreamy epoch]

Still playing to the cookinator on burrito is still fun
Deck adventures was cool too. Leaving aside that is a demo and not a complete game, and the badges originally were behind a paywall

[cunning mango]

posting this here for the new players going after these badges, it helps: https://idle-monster-td.fandom.com/wiki/Idle_Monster_TD_Wiki

also logged in for the first time in like a year or two, all game progress saved! which means ima get the imp badge for this really soon hopefully im at wave 960

[tall carbon]

ahh makes sense

[frank aurora]

Are we facing another grindpossible garbadge?

[tall carbon]

yes but looks like people already played the game a bunch, already 40 awarded

[frank aurora]

sigh...

I am fed up.

[dark dock]

what's the best way to earn that badge? Hard badge I have (rift 14) .... do I have to start time travelling? Candy use those? ?

[tall carbon]

answere in another chat lol

[dreamy epoch]

Yes, you have to. Also, there are some useful upgrades you can buy with recipes. Like the zoom out and swap a launcha. There are also special gummies that helps you to get more cards which helps to progress (chili bombs!)
Lastly, if you really want it, you could buy all food recipes for another luchador

[tall carbon]

oh, didn't know this part

[dreamy epoch]

Well, having bought the 25 food recipes first, made it cheap for me to spend the spare recipes when time travelling

[cunning mango]

dammit why did they word it like that? it basically means 1000 consecutive waves. I'm less close than I thought i was...

[tall carbon]

and without bossrush

[cyan kraken]

Literally went from floor 30 to floor 80 in a full 2h30 run

this game breaks apart once you get access to mana and health regen

[frank aurora]

I want to wait for Kongregate to fix the styling here (if this ever happens...) before attempting to fix the three buttons.

[cyan kraken]

oh yeah didn't notice

[frank aurora]

In case anyone cares about this.

[cyan kraken]

Byeh I believe this took like 4 runs ?

turns out that when you heal around 80 per battle it stops being hard

started needing to actually manage my health and not killing everything in the room when the wisps started to appear
They do so much elemental damage so fast jeez

[tall carbon]

it's hard not to notice them xD but even if you fix them the rest is still a mess

[cunning mango]

there we go
i can give out tips n tricks if anyone wants

[tall carbon]

yes thanks

but It's probably just a matter of time

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/UdOGVdM.png

I'm focusing on those 2 guys is that alright?

not at wave 800 yet

and what's the best way to use gems

[cunning mango]

first you need to buy the 2x game speed, then maybe research tiers 2 and 3

[cunning mango]

after buying those first two, if you're at wave 750 yet I'd reroll artifacts, it makes pushing to 800 super easy

[tall carbon]

I've being rolling the artifacts by save-abusing lol

I'm at 920 now

[dreamy epoch]

It took some days...

[tall carbon]

gg!

got it in 2013 I don't remember

[dreamy epoch]

The games from undefined are kinda cool, but you have to find his strategy

[little tangle]

never tried any of them

[tall carbon]

https://i.imgur.com/dEGSWr4.png

took a while

[dreamy epoch]

Naaaiz

[cyan kraken]

not giving me the badge E

[thin echo]

Flash Games don't have badges working

[tall carbon]

unless using palemoon with matrix script

[dreamy epoch]

Is that dungeoneers? Nice, an ugly badge done is always nice to have it

Except when they add badges to that same games years after....

[tall carbon]

no it's hard badge in far orion that takes 6 months

gg for the endurance, you should be able to get the other hard badge as well now

[dreamy epoch]

That's even worse. Congrats! 😛

[dire flax]

lol i think i remember reading your comment about this somewhere. 6 months is a long time. I applaud you for it, though. I'll probably never get it .-.

[humble cobalt]

I reached the "8 dragons" part. Starting to be a bit hard without premium :D. But the game is enjoyable and the impossible badge isn't the worst

[silk cave]

finallyyyyy kinda sad tho since this was one of the more fun games i had left 😔

[sage abyss]

Ayy Clay Brother!

[dreamy epoch]

Both together today? 😮

On my life, I've always pursued the least awarded badges section forever... Know, I see sooo many 5 minutes games badges on the most awarded badges that I don't have, woot

[tall carbon]

gg guys, yeah oceania is chill

[tall carbon]

on the last awarded badges page I see 3 broken badges, at least 3 badges that nobody has ever achieved (only cheaters) and all of them are 2023 infinitely long badges

there's no proof of skill

[dreamy epoch]

Nope, I wasn't talking about skill. I was talking that I'm able to farm some points very fast now

[tall carbon]

ooh quite the opposite

[dreamy epoch]

Yup, good that I've saved them. I'm havinga great time with multiple point and click adventures and platforms games today

[dreamy epoch]

This was the coolest game I've passed today

[silk cave]

man i thought the new badges would be really easy and then there's just a huge spike right as you're about to finish it all 😔

[dreamy epoch]

Looks cool. I'll definitely play it today

[tall carbon]

the spike is real, and little practice can be done without playing out the other 20 maps, not friendly if it's your first music game, otherwise it's ez

[cunning mango]

rip the first 2 missions i got are bugged, first one will say 1/2 on progress when i squash him but then resets, the other is broken cuz the timer for it runs way too fast. imo dont wanna time travel yet cuz i still got 9 missions i can do n thats a lotta time candy shards

[tall carbon]

for the first mission, there is a cash bag in the air, you need to collect it and then kill the guy

[cunning mango]

oh

[sage abyss]

I cannot let Rhythm category go uncleared

[tall carbon]

gg

[sage abyss]

Surprisingly it's like tha badges of old

[dreamy epoch]

The second mission only works on normal mode. Not in rift. Just touch the gummy bag at start to put normal mode

[cunning mango]

yea ik. when I do normal mode the timer ticks down from 75 but it goes too fast

[dreamy epoch]

Weird, it was always a 1 try mission for me, lol

[cyan kraken]

kinda free points tho
Nice change of pace from the 1 year long impossible badges

[dreamy epoch]

I'm top 1 this week (?

I remember when leaderboards were very populated daily

[tall carbon]

which game

[dreamy epoch]

I already forgot its name 🤣🤣🤣

Oooh, i remember

It was a game to kill Mario

Found it

Kill the plumber

[tall carbon]

lol

does the highscore even work if not using flash?

ye doesn't work for me without it xD

[dreamy epoch]

Yah, doesn't work

Only with flash

Talking about it, I think I will need your help with one game in particular 😅

[tall carbon]

if I played recently maybe

[dreamy epoch]

Or whoever wants it

[dreamy epoch]

No, it is shellshock

Somehow, their servers are still up

The game has badges

But it is flash

And I saw no one in the last two weeks

But the server works (?

If you don't have its badges, well, better for me (? Hahaha

[tall carbon]

I don't have them in shellshok 2

let's see what happens in flash

[dreamy epoch]

Oh, there are two versions?

[tall carbon]

oh yeah works

ShellShock Live 2

[dreamy epoch]

Yes, somehow works

You don't have those badges then?

[tall carbon]

i have them for the first one

if it's short enough I can join with you

[dreamy epoch]

Heck, I know Shellshock live 2 only, not the other. Maybe I don't have either

[tall carbon]

ooh

let's play the second one lol

[dreamy epoch]

Incant play right now, i'm voting, but I will in an hour if you are still around

[tall carbon]

yes sure

[dreamy epoch]

🎉

[frank aurora]

Hmm... are not these two versions compatible with each other?

I forgot.

By this, I mean being able to place against someone playing from the other version.

[frank aurora]

I have never met an inexperienced veteran yet.

[tall carbon]

and that's the other one gg

[vital turtle]

Yeah Thanks!

[tall carbon]

now for the impossible badge, I have no idea why I keep playing, it's not gonna come

I can play it for 3 years

it's just unreachable xD

[vital turtle]

I'm gonna stop there lmao that's too much time for me

[tall carbon]

good to know it's quick

I won't be playing 2023 games no longer until a badges rebalancing is done

since it's 100% down to kongregate and they refuse to adjust the requirements even after a specific request from the developer

it's really disrespectful to both the community and the devs

[dreamy epoch]

I don't know how you went to hunt most badges from these games....

I got tired on February literally

[tall carbon]

I thought they were learning, not that they are doing on purpose

[dreamy epoch]

Again, they are using the badges with the focus to "increase retention" metric. And they are so smart that they think, "if you create a badge that takes a year to get it, you will get all this number of players for a year"

x.x

[sage abyss]

just to resurrect this convo, they also put impossibly long badges on games with Kreds purchases that speed up the gameplay, so it's probably also boosting the MTX stats (for the investors I presume)

[dreamy epoch]

The whole gaming community really came down af when business men did notice how much potential money this sector was able to amass. I would say Electronic Arts was very ahead of time, but today the market is filled with them just with different names, hurting the community on multiple different ways

[dreamy epoch]

I firmly believe at least 35 players hacked this game, please don't eat me.

[tall carbon]

I left the game running for 2 night with autoclicker

but yes, it's only me there and

[dreamy epoch]

It is stupidly hard. And almost everytime, getting on lvl 30 is something like this:

Where you don't know which food you actually have to clean for that table (Note, there is only 1 food on that table, all the others are fake bugged)

[tall carbon]

ooh the bug, I thought they fixed it at some point

they must have broke it again after some update

[dreamy epoch]

Nope, they only told people they fixed it, but right immediately after they told that, I reported again, because that bug it was still very present. And you don't even need to fast click to get it

Your score of 122k is actually insane, it alone deserves an impossible badge

But in general, I believe 100k is a very arbitrary point, and already very hard, and worse, very boring

I believe, the best strat for me would be to play the game up to lvl 30 and leave it there. Then on a good day, play it, check if I am at my 100% by playing on a separate tab, and if I get very in the zone, continue the other play from lvl 30
