I have never lost my progress for this game, probably because I did not delete my cookies, nor my browser's cache.

tender copper
#

Oh i've had it happen once

#

just from refreshing

#

no cookies or browser cache lost

#

just game failed to load it

#

and started trying to overwrite it and make me do it from scratch

#

reloaded a save from 5 minutes ago i still had on my pc

frank aurora
#

Ah, that is one of those, then... I hate games like that.

pallid marlin
#

Ya i don't delete stuff either and i lost saves on many games.

frank aurora
#

Bah, the Flash era is over... and so is the stable save files era. 😒

dire flax
#

hell ya. love this game!

frank aurora
#

I find it hard to believe, but I might just give up on Mergest Kingdom soon. I feel like I progress even slower than on an idle game.

tall carbon
#

It's definitely not an idle game, you gotta merge to score xd

frank aurora
#

I know, thank you...

tall carbon
#

don't forget to play Tropical Merge afterward!

#

( I gave up on that)

frank aurora
cunning mango
frank aurora
#

Oooh, well done!

cunning mango
#

I cannot find the gif i want that's related to this...

tall carbon
#

gg

sage abyss
#

the fact that you can't share progress between them is nothing short of a crime

tall carbon
#

yeah the fact they also have the same badges is just a joke

naive blade
pallid marlin
#

Does anyone know if i keep playing, i can get Split Personality in Diebrary?
I've done so many games and haven't got that plot twist yet, and its all i'm missing.

tall carbon
#

I think you can load a story with that already

pallid marlin
#

I think i did that once to see if it worked, the game might have crashed (it does that some times).

frank aurora
#

soon™️...

sage abyss
tender copper
#

fiiiiiinally

#

now i gotta grow the damage so i can get past this boss already without it taking forever...

#

Was told if i can get past this boss, that things'll get easier with the final badge

#

cause right now, it took so long just to get 1DC

frank aurora
#

This will take forever, yes...

sage abyss
#

Don't forget, you're here forever

cyan kraken
sage abyss
#

what else do we have but idle games

frank aurora
#

Mergest Kingdom!

cyan kraken
frank aurora
#

There is nothing outside. Kongregate is everything, outside is void and evilness. Do not go outside.

frank aurora
#

My progress on Mergest Kingdom is almost the same as a month ago...

#

I would enjoy ten idle games a lot more.

sage abyss
#

and the monkey paw curls another finger

frank aurora
#

Woof woof.

sage abyss
#

you should probably play the events for more stuff for the mainland

#

zoo thingy only gives money and money2 as far as I can tell

frank aurora
#

More stuff?! I keep running out of room for what I get...

sage abyss
#

what do i spend the gems in mergest kingdom on again?

tall carbon
#

islands

sage abyss
#

islands cost kreds though

tall carbon
#

what

#

WHAT THE HELL

#

IS THE MAGNNET

#

I wasted my life and now you have the magnet lol

sage abyss
#

merges all types of the same object regardless of their position on the map

#

25 gold per use

tall carbon
#

that is the ultimate update, but if you say that islands are for kreds now, then it's a pay to win

sage abyss
#

i'm tidy enough to not need the magnet

tall carbon
#

I'm screaming lol

#

they are indeed for kreds now even on tropical merge

#

I guess I'll never play it again then

sage abyss
#

assuming that you'd ever return to mergest kingdom "for fun"

tall carbon
#

no, I would've eventually returned to tropical merge for the imp

#

but they made it pay to win this way

sage abyss
#

it was always pay to win, it's jut a lot more degen I suppose but I get your point

tall carbon
#

nah it wasn't not even close

#

you can get here free to play

#

you could've*

#

now impossible

sage abyss
#

i'll probably just end up buying liquid rainbow to accelerate story progress or sth

tall carbon
#

I mean normally you would be able to merge and store but since u never gonna have space

#

uhgg, yeah sucks

#

they force you to play poorely unless u pay

sage abyss
#

i mean, if you focus on the newest items only and merge on 5's and 9's the space isn't that much of a problem

#

saving to 13s can be, but I do it for the special occasion stuff like last stage of buildings

tall carbon
#

5 is uuuggh

#

17 was the optimal one for me

sage abyss
#

5 is perfect for new tavern vendors

#

get 2, use rainbow, complete the set, move on

tall carbon
#

13 is nothing actually

#

it's just 9+5

sage abyss
#

9+5 is 14 last time I checked

tall carbon
#

o

#

hold my kong

#

I mean yeah I wanted to say that after 9 then next bonus is 17

#

unless they changed it

sage abyss
#

doubtful they made anything easier tbh

tall carbon
#

if they added the magnet lol

#

wiki still says 9-> 17

sage abyss
#

yeah, but the diminishging returns hit so hard lol

#

17 is 2.13 per result, 103 is 2.06

tall carbon
#

yeah after 17 is kinda pointless

sage abyss
#

17s if you can but 9s are still very nice

#

5s are "eh, if you want"

#

saves you just enough to be worth it sometimes

tall carbon
#

anyway idk if you heard that already but boxes aren't rng, the content depends on the tile you open them

#

so find the best tile, and you'll get a lot more resources

sage abyss
#

yep, but I'm still very early game, so box loot changes very often

tall carbon
#

ah ok xd

sage abyss
#

lvl 15, bamboo building, wooden dagger vendor

tall carbon
#

I think the big boxes for every building have the same tile

sage abyss
#

as a side note I hate how optimized for sucking the minesweeper game is

#

about 1/3 boards will need a guess

tall carbon
#

lmao

sage abyss
#

it gives rubies which are not even that strong nowadays, but still they have to rip out every last ounce of joy possible

tall carbon
#

If u got to have much money you can buy energy with the best offer, and repeat with different browsers

sage abyss
#

(4 of them at a time so not that many even lol)

frank aurora
#

The mineseeper is the only funny part of that "game"...

sage abyss
#

172hrs, my luck is non-existent

sage abyss
tall carbon
#

that one was for coins before

#

lol

sage abyss
#

yeah but somehow I never checked its price

#

must've clicked many, realized "oh, they're just paid" and promptly effed off

sage abyss
#

||of course i lost the guess, i had 13/20 chances of succeeding||

tall carbon
#

lol it's not that important anyway

frank aurora
#

The only logical option would have been to click the lower-right corner haha.

sage abyss
sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Yeah... and the fun vanishes when one is forced to guess... or trigger a mine on first click...

sage abyss
#

You shouldn't be able to click a mine on first click

#

It's pre-board generation

frank aurora
#

I entirely agree.

sage abyss
#

@tall carbon update - magnet doesn't merge, it rearranges everything to put all pieces adjacent

#

it's like a tornado went through my crops now

tall carbon
#

I would have pay even more for that lol, saves your fingers lategame

sage abyss
#

@tall carbon better to make lvl 1 of producer buildings one by one or just burn through keys for new land asap?

tall carbon
#

for level you can just keep going with wood til the end

#

more land = more efficiency tho

frank aurora
#

Do not higher materials give more experience?

sage abyss
tender copper
#

well that was neat.

#

there was no reason for me to get those achievements for the badge, just felt like it tho

tender copper
#

The bosses were the hardest part, mainly because unless you can anticipate the patterns, it can screw you about and lead to you dying.

#

The "survive" ones were the easiest, especially with not shooting and taking no hits, since it's honestly easy to dodge and find spots to kinda stand around in while rocks keep being thrown down, and honestly, shooting any asteroid would just make it harder unless you try to shoot them all down immediately, so yea.

sage abyss
#

yeah, it helps that the game is extremely fun and well-balanced for its internal challenges

frank aurora
#

I am just going to spam that magnet from now on... I did not want to waste my coins until now, but even the will to organize everything myself has left me.

sage abyss
#

just be sure to buy the event energy refills

#

those poop xp like they're on a slimfast meal plan

frank aurora
#

The event energy refills?

sage abyss
#

events are ridiculously good for xp

#

just as a side note - they tend to SET your energy to 90, not add 90 to your energy, so be mindful of that (although sometimes they do add 90, so spaghetti code I guess)

tall carbon
#

they used to add

#

so I would farm different browsers until I had like 2000 energy

#

and then do stuff

frank aurora
#

spending energy is too tedious for me already to buy that much more...

tall carbon
#

I mean that is how you make points lol

frank aurora
#

Yeah... 😔

sage abyss
#

that's why I suggest blowing it all on event energy - events are much more forgiving space-wise and they clear themselves out

sage abyss
#

this made me laugh way more than it should

frank aurora
#

🤣

#

Yeah, there are lots of sad ladies in far away countries...

humble cobalt
#

I know a website where you can find sad ladies close to you!

#

Raid Heroes: Sword and Magic badges are super badly done. Got the Impossible one before Mediums. Day 5 on that Hard badge though

humble cobalt
#

Aaaand, got it

humble cobalt
#

I'm almost halfway into killing 1000 Dragons in dungeonners. The "every hero to level 18" badge worries me the most

#

275 awarded for 1000 dragons, 43 for the heroes one. Indeed

frank aurora
#

Yep...

#

Oh, there were more messages below that one. 🤣

#

I meant: yep, Raid Heroes: sword and Magic's badges were badly designed.

humble cobalt
#

But got my badge, won't go further!

frank aurora
#

No, I stopped at the last badge. I am still playing Total War, however.

sage abyss
humble cobalt
#

But nope, those 12 dragons counted as 12.

#

5times 1 dragon + 5 times 2 dragons + ... + 3 times 12 dragons = 366 dragons

#

I reached 479 from failing career after killing some dragons or for campaign (didn't killed many though)*

silk cave
#

WOOOOO idk where that singular point off came from but it only took a decade :ooo

tall carbon
#

lol gg

frank aurora
#

I remember a forum post from JohannasGarden stating that even her did not know the difference between these two columns...

#

...
Poof.

#

Also, kongratulations! Now, beat Jayisgames and the cheater.

silk cave
#

ty lol, i just gotta do this for another 30 years and first place is mine!

frank aurora
#

Yup!

#

Easy.

sage abyss
#

does this count? I'm just so dang excited about this badge

tall carbon
#

not a kongratulations tho

sage abyss
#

Understandable

frank aurora
#

Google...

#

🤮

livid maple
#

Nevermind, guys... As usual, things start magically working again when I ask for help 🤣

I'm using Chrome and clicked on the "Ruffle" button, and the level counter on the badge is finally being incremented, even though I had already reached level 4 this morning. Maybe I hadn't tried this combination before (Chrome + Ruffle), but I was really sure I had tried it thinkingKong Oh well 🤷‍♂️

frank aurora
#

The game does not want to load with Flash on my end. That would be funny if it only worked in Ruffle...

livid maple
#

I could neither load it with Flash in Pale Moon nor in Waterfox Classic. Only in Chrome, but the badge didn't work.

frank aurora
#

Hmm... I will have to look into that... someday™️.

pallid marlin
#

Forgot to post this a few days ago.

frank aurora
#

I feel your pain.

pallid marlin
#

I'd say it was more annoying then painful.
Just having to log in almost every day for a bit.

minor anchor
#

yar

frank aurora
#

One more done, too many left to do. 😭

sage abyss
#

you're telling me, I took a break from grinding those idlers, just couldn't take it

#

will get back to war clicks to hopefully put an end to it soon

frank aurora
#

I am still not done with Idling to Rule the Gods... after nearly two years.

sage abyss
#

oh, I abandoned ITRTG, it seemed actually not doable

#

on the fence about IEH2

frank aurora
#

Eh, what I abandoned is Incremental Epic Hero 2...

#

What will be my next goal? I am hesitating between Animation Throwdown and City Idle. The former is on the list because I noticed a few weeks ago that it was (very) smooth again on my computer; I should probably not let this chance slip by haha. Moreover, it is not an idle "game"... and I enjoyed it back in the days.

sage abyss
#

AT is very very easy, especially that it has a mobile version which syncs, so perfect poop game

#

take advantage of events with reg pinks, do not merge them and you'll have a fairly strong deck for a long time

frank aurora
#

Incremental Adventures is still ongoing, too. Progress suddenly slowed down, after unlocking ascension. I am only at ascension layer two... so very far away from the transcension re🇶uirement. I must be doing something wrong.

#

I see that Dyno is being mean to you too.

sage abyss
#

IA slowed down to a crawl for me, I got to Asc 1 and now all challenges feel like dragging my "peanut-sack" through a boulevard of broken glass

frank aurora
#

That is the main problem with those garbadges. Badges used to stop at the correct moment, but those ones... go far beyond that point.

sage abyss
#

flashback to Crush Crush which took me about 200 years

frank aurora
#

😭

sage abyss
#

I'm not even joking, I started jumping 24 years into the future by dha's advice to see ANY progress

frank aurora
#

Only?

sage abyss
#

was easier for me to increment the year than the day/month

#

just a quirk of Mint or whatever I run on my vm

river shale
#

Nice, AAA lives

#

Not toxic enough though

frank aurora
frank aurora
#

Well, the screen transition times made Animation Throwdown slightly less enjoyable than I recalled, resulting in the last few badges (arena, especially) taking more time than expected. Ah, playing a true game, with actual things to do when in front of the screen, feels so nice.
Anyway, City Idle, here I come. unamusedKong

tall carbon
#

matrix taking them all down xd

#

city idle isn't very idle so it's cool

frank aurora
#

I completely forgot how to play it haha.

frank aurora
#

Diebrary is so much funnier with a working keyboard... Getting the last badge I had not met the requirement yet was a piece of cake.
For those who do not know and, like me, refrained from going after those badges while they were broken: Adrian fixed them this week (and figured out why various statistics broke across the site on September 2023).

pallid marlin
#

Hated this.

frank aurora
#

I have been playing it for two years, since it got badges, and I understand a lot less than half of it haha.

tall carbon
frank aurora
#

Argh, #city-idle-chat is as empty as my islands...
I need help in that game: two days ago, I was above five hundred people on the huge island but some pandemic took place and the population there is now down to less than thirty. I am unable to repopulate it again. Does anyone think of anything that could solve that?

tall carbon
#

lol, I never dropped like that

#

I really forgor I'm sorry I can't help

frank aurora
#

Erf.

I am very upset to be stuck like that. Everything was going so well until the population suddenly crashed. 😩

frank aurora
#

Phew, I went out of the trouble.

frank aurora
#

Aaand I am done. Thankfully, City Idle has nothing idle. May the developer be blessed for this misfitting name.
Unfortunately, the genre still exists... Babel Tower, I am coming!

tall carbon
#

😄

frank aurora
#

Starting well. -_-

frank aurora
#

Aaaah. A true idle game. Kill me.

frank aurora
#

That one is very tedious. The increased speed should always be available instead of only a few minutes per day, and the costs quickly skyrocket.

frank aurora
#

I missed the elephant; it was too well hidden. Oups...

frank aurora
#

I do not like your golden bricks high score, Dha. Did you really need this many golden bricks to reach floor 20 or did you simply play for longer? I am currently grinding (but that will be fast) them for the hard badge, since I finally reached the "immediately restart for a brick" point, but grinding as many as you... ugh, no way.

tall carbon
#

probably not lol

#

I didn't really know what to expect

frank aurora
#

So you decided to grind enough to enter the top 100? 😂

tall carbon
#

I grinded for a while xd

#

no goal

frank aurora
#

Haha. And here I thought that your taste for speedrunning was what made you most crazy...

tall carbon
#

you can grind them so fast tbh

#

click click click autoclick click

frank aurora
#

Indeed.

#

Click, double-click at the correct spot, rinse and repeat. I am not even focused as hell on the game and might still end up finishing the badge today (I reached 200 this morning).

silk cave
#

i managed pretty easily with about half of dha's bricks so it isn't too bad, tho yeah an autoclicker makes it a lot less painful lol

frank aurora
#

Hmm... That is a lot. I guess that I will increase my golden bricks count from two thousand to twenty thousand, then. I would rather do this now, while I can instantly reset for two of those, instead of going further, reducing that bonus and realizing that I need more.

silk cave
#

you could probably do it with a decent bit less but i'm not like confident about that, gl either way tho

frank aurora
#

I will halve my previous goal. I was a lot more motivated to grind when the badge counter was incrementing haha.

vital turtle
#

I remember doing this for the badge

frank aurora
#

Yes, it is.

frank aurora
#

Bah, I am stopping the grind at 5,743. I want to "play".

silk cave
#

i believe in youuuuu i feel like that rlly should be enough 😭

frank aurora
#

Me too. It is going very smoothly. All I am lacking is time bonus... Such a shame that the game is that slow without it.

sage abyss
#

The daily bonus is determined by two LocalStorage values, Epoch-like determining next daily bonus and days_claimed, I believe day 3000 had some ridiculous amount of the golden bricks

frank aurora
#

Haha, I will not need ten years.
...
For that one.

frank aurora
#

I do not want to follow any of those suggestions. 😭

#

Oh wait! According to https://kongbadges.rahner.me/, the only badges on games labeled "idle" that I have yet to obtain are the Idling to Rule the Gods impossible badge and nineteen Incremental Epic Hero 2 badges!
Am I truly nearing the beginning of the end or are some of those idle lames missing their "idle" tag?!

#

GAH, there is also Idle Grindia something and War Clicks... I guess that their names speak for themselves. 😭

frank aurora
#

I forgot the last badge of Incremental Adventures, too, so I guess that the list is endless...

frank aurora
#

War Clicks is getting slow. Once I have the hard badge, will there be any reason to continue going to war zone?

tall carbon
#

once in a while, more likely once in a month

#

you get a lot of coins in war

#

so you keep fuel for when that "day" happens

#

and you use all your fuel that day

#

it's the random boxes I don't even remember, they are 3 random prizes, but always the same after the same amount of waves, they change every day

frank aurora
#

Oh, this is interesting! I will keep my eyes open. Or will try to remember to...

frank aurora
#

Oh wait, is it the "resupply truck"? It is coming tomorrow.
Edit: nevermind, this is only the daily reset. 😂

tall carbon
#

no, sometimes a box spawn on screen

frank aurora
#

Hmm... It had not happened yet.

tall carbon
#

so If I remember right

#

every 100 waves you get 3 boxes

#

always at the same spot

#

but the prize is random

#

like one after 20, one after 40 and one after 15

frank aurora
#

This may have changed because this does not ring any bell.

tall carbon
#

hm, then I don't know xd

silk cave
#

if anyone knows, how long did it take them solely focusing on health in rpg mo to get to 90? i'm at 63 grinding nagas/those emerald dragons nd at this rate it's going to take 45 hours during events to get there 😭 not sure if it rlly is that grindy or if i just have a terrible setup

frank aurora
#

I do not know. This game is, in my list, below the idle games... If you can wait a bit, then I can answer in two years.

tall carbon
#

find some movies to watch

#

it's gonna take many many hours lol

#

I was too at the naga spot, with some decent equip so you one-two shot them often

silk cave
#

yeahh, i spent a lil bit at 2x nd got some better equipment for it but ig i'll just tough it out lol

tender copper
#

I am still farming on DPS Idle currently

#

84/100 away from the final badge which is getting 1e100 damage

frank aurora
#

That one was long, too. 😩

tender copper
#

If there was a save file here to just skip all of this and get the badges immediately to end the pain, i would've used it months ago

frank aurora
#

Aw, but pain makes the victory glorious!

frank aurora
#

In War Clicks, should I keep privatizing my army as soon as possible?

tall carbon
#

game doesn't load anymore for me

plush nest
#

is there info if there will be new badges soon ?

sage abyss
#

basically if you can't deploy 50% within a day or 2 I'd priv

#

the larger the gaps between privs the longer I'd try to go without one

#

f.in the gap between e270 and e300, if you can hold on to ~e290 or so you could soar past e300 into e310 easily

frank aurora
#

Okay, thank you. I am the kind of person that is unable to play any game optimally, especially idle games, but if I could avoid spending unnecessary months on that one I would be happy haha.

Glad I asked; I initially thought that I would be better to privatize immediately, eh.

#

No, DoubleN. We do not have any information regarding this, and to be honest, I sincerely hope that there will not be any new badge in the upcoming future. With their current state of mind and policies, that would probably be another disaster.

sage abyss
#

(the difference between buying stuff as soon as possible and just getting a lump sum from offline time)

frank aurora
#

Nah, no way I am leaving my computer on overnight.

sage abyss
#

i can taste the freedom so I do, went from e270 to e288 in 3 days

frank aurora
#

Every summer, I am already surprised that my toaster survived the season...

sage abyss
#

by agressive automatization I mainly mean

#

rest of the settings consume only on affected interval so they're free

frank aurora
#

I do not have enough automation points yet for too many hours a day, anyway.

#

As for the automatic deploy, do you usually set it to 50%?
Sometimes I set it to 50%, others 100%

sage abyss
#

yeah, if your auto points are ever accumulating you're doing it "wrong"

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

I do not even know what the latter does precisely, haha.

#

Stop deploying once that threshold is reach?

sage abyss
#

Yeah, it prevents you from deploying if you can privatize

frank aurora
#

Okay. No point in using it, then.

tall carbon
frank aurora
#

Yes, I already used it two days ago.

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

I wish this reset more often than a month, eh.

sage abyss
#

also, speaking of warzone, it exists only to serve daily tasks and potentially farm the 5gold random drops

#

never spin wheel without full fuel (you risk landing on refuel space)

frank aurora
#

Oh, good to know. I sometimes start with a few battles before spinning, depending of the tasks (even though the order here is not important).

sage abyss
#

Basically don't do anything not specified in task

frank aurora
#

I reached level 250 there, to unlock the third boot camp technology slot. Should I go further?

#

Or, is it not worth it to do anything besides the task and accumulating spoil points?

sage abyss
#

Not worth to do anything besides tasks and spoils

frank aurora
#

Got it. Thank you for relieving me hah!

sage abyss
#

Also reroll the task if it doesn't have gold, time skip or potentially wheel spin

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Okay. Until then, I never rerolled.

#

Farm mode on. Okay.

sage abyss
#

It's better to get 2 good rewards than 5 bad ones

frank aurora
#

Indeed.

#

When should I use my time skips?

#

I have only been accumulating them.

sage abyss
#

Ideally on events (1-3h) since they let you "convert to gold", else it's your call, I use mine if I can reach a milestone or a deployment when I'm stuck

frank aurora
#

I never know when to use this kind of things... The more I wait, the better the reward but then, better to never use them. Eh. Vicious circle.

sage abyss
#

We will get through this, this game made me quit for several months but I'm not backing down

tall carbon
#

I wanted to check the game once again but this is all there is for me ._.

frank aurora
#

Events? I only participated in one, on the last two days and I did not notice that time skips could be used there.

#

Damn. It happened once or twice to me, but refreshing fixed the game.

sage abyss
#

All events (the exact same event with different skins lol) take 1,2 and 3h skips but limit how many you can use

frank aurora
#

Okay. So, if we can get gold, I am assuming that I should not skip those?

tall carbon
#

no fix on different computers and different connections, bah

frank aurora
#

Erf!

sage abyss
#

Not only gold, they give permanent boot camp boosts too

frank aurora
tall carbon
#

ooh it worked

frank aurora
#

Ah yes, I remember now. That is even why I participated in the first place. 😂

sage abyss
#

Also, as a note, do not ever do all 3 country invasion clickfests at once!

#

it's an easy task to complete and it disappears for the day if you have no attempts left

tall carbon
#

I'm a proud Casanova, who will be the next Egg-Citer!

sage abyss
#

How much premium have you spent to get those lol

tall carbon
#

ahah it was like x2 multi, all the time skips kept for the event

#

And letting the game run all day and night on autoclicker

frank aurora
#

I will never waste my kind-of-hard-earned free kreds on those things.

sage abyss
tall carbon
#

oh yes and all my giveaway creds went on this game pretty much lol

frank aurora
#

Ouch...

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Spinning the wheel is not an issue. If there is no spin left when the task pops up, then it is automatically completed.

sage abyss
#

I never received a spin the wheel task when I have 0 spins

frank aurora
#

As for invasions, I never thought about having several tasks for it the same day, so that did not even cross my mind.

#

Even though... I would have thought that they would work like the wheel.

#

Daily reward... Same as the wheel, if I recall correctly?

sage abyss
#

From what I gathered, they just stop giving you the tasks if it were incompleteable for the day

#

I just let the tasks decide and then clean up excess invasions, wheels, dailies

frank aurora
#

AH! I see. They are the easiest ones, so better not risking getting a longer one instead.

sage abyss
#

Also feel free to spend spoil points on battle stars to have better warzone stats for some easier time

frank aurora
#

Oh yes, I do it every day.

sage abyss
#

Just make sure to have 5k for priv refresh

frank aurora
#

Well, since it takes one month to refresh... saving this little amount up is not that important. if I forgt or was unluck, I could wait a day.

sage abyss
#

you do not want to wait a day

#

the cooldown starts on purchase

frank aurora
#

... Indeed. I realized as I typed.

#

Yes, I know.

frank aurora
#

Well, yesterday I got a task about invasion, participated once, then later got another invasion task, which was automatically completed. So, these ones indeed do not need holding back. Only the "do one more X" tasks are annoying (battle, units, deploy, time challenge, sometimes refueling [if the first task is that one, then the daily refueling seems to count toward it]).

sage abyss
#

Deploy is the worst task unless you have 10% at the ready

frank aurora
#

I am only at the beginning so I can always deploy when I log in for the first time of the day.

sage abyss
#

(I'm not but the message doesn't seem like it would autocomplete)

frank aurora
#

Huh? Did you win an additional chance to spin the wheel? Are you truly out of chances?

#

When one can spin it, then indeed, the task is not autocompleted.

At least, that is what happens to me:

  • if I can spin the wheel, then I must spin it
  • else, the task is complete
#

I would be worried if that game treats us differently...

sage abyss
#

This message appeared despite me having 2 spins, but it doesn't exude confidence from my side that it will just give it to you if incompleteable

frank aurora
#

I see. All I can tell you is... trust me!

frank aurora
#

Well, today my first daily task was to spin the wheel... but I could already claim the reward before doing anything. I am lost.

sage abyss
#

I mean, I lose sessions 18 times a day

#

also this is way less glamorous, but hey, an imp's an imp

frank aurora
#

The second part is a lie. The blocks system has been broken for nine months.

#

Wait... Nine or twenty-one?

#

No, only nine. Time flies, but not this fast!

#

Are those badges still broken?

sage abyss
#

oh yeah

#

BBLL doesn't track anything

frank aurora
#

😩

sage abyss
#

in good news, I think I'll complete War Clicks in 21 days

frank aurora
#

Woohoo!

sage abyss
#

I'm stuck at e290, but next free priv is at e300

frank aurora
#

... How many time will that one have stolen from your life?

sage abyss
#

a little over a year

frank aurora
#

...

#

I need a gun.

sage abyss
#

I definitely made some mistakes, so a year would suffice methinks

frank aurora
#

I was hoping for a few months. I do not know why. 😔

sage abyss
#

Oh no, dha with his reckless spending took 8-9 months too

frank aurora
#

Okay, so a year and a half minimum for me.

#

I will die before being done with those. Sigh

sage abyss
#

Is your health that bad you won't last 18 months?

frank aurora
#

Hey, eighteen months is for only one game. I have more left in the list.

sage abyss
#

Depending on your availability, War Clicks can be done alongside others

frank aurora
#

Then, if I ever get close to running out of badges or garbadges to hunt... they will do the same thing that they did in 2023 and make hundreds of new ones. ><

sage abyss
#

They won't do jackpoo

#

No new badges will ever be issued IMO

frank aurora
#

I am still mad at them for that. I was just nine badges away from being relieved.

sage abyss
#

now to relearn wtf was I meant to be doing in idle wizard

frank aurora
#

... Aaaand another one that I have probably not finished yet.

sage abyss
#

once I get to the point where I know what I'm doing I'll let you know how bad is it

sage abyss
#

okay idle wizard wiki has guides on guides on guides so I won't know what I'm doing ever. seems quick-ish though

frank aurora
#

😂

frank aurora
#

Idle Grindia: Dungeon Quest is a lot funnier than War Clicks... and, hopefully, shorter.

sage abyss
#

definitely shorter, I did that one already

sage abyss
#

also sweet Lard those guides for idle wizard are good

#

went e70-e100 mysteries (some thingy from the first reset) just by trying to unlock the things they recommend

sage abyss
#

Sweet Rebus that last mission took long

frank aurora
#

All I remember about this game is its name and the blue thing haha.

#

Also, I was sure that I had already replied...

tender copper
#

I am so, so close now...

#

This has been going on for so long now

frank aurora
#

Yay!

#

The end should be very near... If I remember correctly, it should be possible to make a big jump at the end but I forgot how.

tender copper
#

I've now finally managed to reach to Location 3's boss which is uh... quite a sight

#

But yea, just need to reach a good bit more in damage and i'll finally have the achievement.
And i'll basically give the save file here because genuinely, this game is not worth the idle grind on, its one of the worst idle games i've played on the site.

frank aurora
#

Worst?! Naaaah, there are far, far worse.

tender copper
#

At least most others have SOME kind of strategy outside of "just keep prestiging" and "pay for stuff"

frank aurora
#

... They do?

tender copper
#

I'll say one that is worse is Mighty Party

#

But i hardly call it an idle game much

#

And then there's those facebook-ish games of combining one object together in a row of 3 to get a new object

#

At least those are a little bit more visually interesting than... this has been

frank aurora
#

I did not recall it as an idle game, but I have not played it for years. I logged in there when it received garbadges, but my progress since the previous time (when I got the badges) was completely wiped... ._.

#

Ugh... Mergest Kingdom... I prefer idle games other that. Do not make me repeat that. 😭

tender copper
#

Pretty much any Mergest game

#

They're all the same

frank aurora
#

"Any"? Do you mean that there are more than Mergest Kingdom and Tropical Merge?!

tender copper
#

But yea, at least other idle games have something more to it to make it a little bit interesting. DPS Idle literally just uses an asset pack for most of everything, makes a horrid idle game out of it and effectively feels more slower and tedious than any other idle game i've played thus far. And it has a autoclicker detector, which is the worst.

#

And with a few idle games where i could say they're worse, at least with their badges the experience is done in a few days, not months to over a year though

tender copper
#

Fairyland: Merge & Magic and Castle Craft: Merge Quest

frank aurora
#

Blergh

tender copper
#

Literally all the same kind of game

#

and all facebook games too

#

We should be glad only 2 of those merge games are on Kong with badges

frank aurora
#

Do not say that too loudly...

#

They could hear you.

tender copper
tall carbon
#

the problem is not the games

#

the problem is the badge choice

#

and to make the same identical 6-months long badge on both games

frank aurora
tall carbon
#

and then later transform them into pretty much pay to win, because you can't earn the islands anymore

frank aurora
#

I do not even want to go back there...

tender copper
#

I genuinely will always despise the pay to win cycle

frank aurora
#

Pay to win, wait to win, merge to win... A lot of despicable concepts.

tall carbon
#

but yeah I refuse to play the other one, even if it's the last badge left

sage abyss
#

I have very good news for the next badge suggestor

frank aurora
#

Aaah the goold old bugs. The only ones I can bear.

tender copper
#

IT IS DONE!

#

You're welcome, just hit the blue vial and you're done.

#

My 7th impossible badge, too

#

Took me almost a year since the previous impossible badge, and then 14 years since my 5th one.

sage abyss
#

Massive congratulations! You deserve to take a break on some old Flash badges you may not have completed yet

#

This one was very fun

frank aurora
#

Oh yes, I love the Ultimate Assassin games.

tall carbon
#

or was it another one, anyway I remember getting stuck on a map, it was 100% luck

sage abyss
#

eh, as soon as you realize invis is ueseless it goes fast

#

also you just need to get perfects in all easies and all meds, so not a "hard" hard badge

frank aurora
#

Invisibility was pretty useful in some levels. Maybe required, sometimes.

#

I last played those a long time ago, though.

#

I loved the bloody footprints..

sage abyss
#

I found that pretty ironic that Trouser snake was the best at farming deaths and deaths on tail to unlock the missing game modes

sage abyss
#

the race has begun and deployment is losing hard

frank aurora
#

Ah, you will soon be free. I envy you because I only reached the "e70" mark two days ago.

sage abyss
#

Until e170 or so you're good, that's when the slow starts

frank aurora
sage abyss
#

Spend those automation points, they make such a huge difference

frank aurora
#

How silly I am. Thinking that it was already slow. I am so naive. 😭

sage abyss
#

I mean, it definitely isn't fast fast, but you aren't dependant on the repriv perk just yet

frank aurora
#

I am not sure that I want to know what this is.

sage abyss
#

As soon as the gap moves from e+10 to e+30, you're in deep doodoo

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Ah, this.

#

+30, huh? Sigh...

sage abyss
#

Yeah, that's where I'm stuck right now for instance. My last free priv was at e270

#

Also I hope you're researching all the time

frank aurora
#

No, I am not logging in every three hours... 😛
I do research everytime I log in, though.

sage abyss
#

Good, good. THe perks are strong enough to have to pay attention to this unfortunately

frank aurora
#

I did not pay much attention to the mechanics at the beginning, so I lost the interesting rarity boost on some of those items... I hope to fix my mistake before the end haha.

#

Oh by the way, do you know how often the discount on unlimited autoclicker appears?

sage abyss
#

Supposedly every month, I call BS as I had to buy it full price despite waiting for 4 months

frank aurora
#

Had I started working on that game a few days earlier, I could have bought it...

sage abyss
#

it's not THAT important, especially if all you have left is boot camp

frank aurora
#

Okay, thank you. I was hoping this would be the case. Let us hope that it will reappear soon.

#

To be honest, that would relieve me from some pain. The 100% fuel daily mission is a pain to me and I cannot even let the game alone for five minutes... >.>

sage abyss
#

Honestly? Fair

#

Use 2x charges to burn fuel faster, but that's all I can suggest

frank aurora
#

Do the thirty seconds ones burn fuel faster too?

sage abyss
#

I think so?

frank aurora
#

Okay. I did not think about using them. Actually... I save them up in case they become useful. 😂

sage abyss
#

They won't

#

Time challenges aren't worth anything either

frank aurora
#

Aaaand done with Idle Grindia: Dungeon Quest. Yay. A total time of about two weeks, I believe.

tall carbon
#

lol gg

frank aurora
#

Next target: Idle Wizard. I will have to remember what it is about haha.

sage abyss
#

Idle Wizard has guides on guides

#

I still don't know what I'm doing but number does go up rapidly

#
Idle Wizard Wiki

Updated for v1.70 ish. This major guide, like all pages on the wiki, is maintained by the community and can be regularly updated by any player for clarity or new information in later versions. Never be shy to ask questions about it on discord and to make updates that help you and everyone else.

frank aurora
#

Thank you. I will go back to that game later today, trying to remember it, and will try to read this tomorrow.

#

Far too early to even say soon™️.

sage abyss
#

Cat God wasn't too bad

frank aurora
#

Presence rate of Incremental Epic Hero 2 among those: 19/28. Haha.

sage abyss
#

Can't say anything about IEH2, the acronym sounds like a cat dry heaving so that's all I can tell

frank aurora
#

Order will be Idle Wizard, Law of the Cat God and finally Incremental Epic Hero 2, after taking a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong break from that one. Others are only ongoing.

tall carbon
#

you can't finish IEH2 tho

frank aurora
#

Excuse me?

tall carbon
#

somebody did a calculation that you would need to play actively for just over 3 years for one of the badges

#

some might be longer

sage abyss
#

The day I finish War Clicks I'm doing IEH2, with ITRTG somewhere there

tall carbon
#

clock manip doesn't even help like at all

frank aurora
#

Holy mother of Squaresponge Bob! That is even worse than Idling to Rule the Gods...

#

More than two years in. unamusedKong

tall carbon
#

and for actively I mean, be there every hour 24/7

frank aurora
#

I will get it by next decade.

sage abyss
#

well, time to employ my AHK skills again or sth

frank aurora
#

I need a T.A.R.D.I.S.

sage abyss
#

I think it would be faster to get employed at Kong and deleting those badges myself

#

Reckon they need a remote-only DevOps?

tall carbon
#

They will have to remove those badges at some point, like they don't make any sense

#

played for a couple months I only have 3 mediums, not even halfway through for the second mediums

sage abyss
#

yeah those all should be imps

frank aurora
#

I am sorry but they will never hire you. They only accept incompetent beings.

#

Even my chair would be rejected.

sage abyss
#

I may not be an idiot but I'm sure I can play the part

#

First change: Adding marquee to all game windows

frank aurora
#

Ah, the classic lies on a job appointment...

#

This always backlashes.

sage abyss
#

this is my resume

tall carbon
#

lol

frank aurora
#

You forgot to scroll down and uncover a failed randomly generated description because of a lack of remaining space or money, or whatever.

frank aurora
#

What a break!

tender copper
#

Nearly 10 years since my last medal...

#

I feel accomplished in my goal on getting so many of these medals and badges

#

At this point, until Kongregate make another medal quest (if ever), i can only think of 2 final goals in my head

#

10 impossible badges and 2000 overall badges

#

I can probably manage that.

frank aurora
#

Well done! The most painful part of that quest was ... well, we all know.

#

Do you have all of the other medals?

#

Oh wait, they removed them, sorry. I had forgotten. Traumatic amnesia...

#

Not even aiming for 3,000 badges? 😦

sage abyss
#

@frank aurora get in here that egg score is WEAK

tall carbon
#

lmao

frank aurora
#

Too many games, not enough time...

#

I could only spend five minutes on Idle Wizard yesterday and the day before. 😭

frank aurora
#

War Clicks' unlimited autoclicker is finally available again for 4,500 gold. Four or five weeks after last time.

tall carbon
#

who needs the autoclicker anyway

frank aurora
#

People who do not enjoy restarting it every two minutes.

tall carbon
#

I mean you don't really need to do that minigame anymore after a while

#

also you can have your own unlimited autoclicker for free

frank aurora
#

Well, for now I still need gold so I need it.

#

I am already bored of Idle Wizard. Erf, I will not last much longer, at this pace.

sage abyss
#

i'm like 2 days away from this badge i cannot wait

tall carbon
#

congrats bro

frank aurora
#

I envy you so much!

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

No need to, nobody is doubting your accomplishment. 😂

sage abyss
#

oh no no, so you can take my accomplishment without sacrificing a year lol

#

maybeI can share my secrets so you can log in as me in the iframe?

frank aurora
#

Aw no, pain is glory.

#

I will become more glorious than anybody before... 😭

sage abyss
#

too much pain for not that much glory

frank aurora
#

Oh, not in the eyes of my beloved... reflection.

sage abyss
#

warn me more please

sage abyss
#

I stayed up late to see this

#

Now I need to find what the he🏒 🏒 am I going to do with all that free time

tall carbon
#

gg!

#

funner games I suppose

sage abyss
#

Oh, the whole time I was waiting for this to tick over on the 3rd screen I was happily playing HiFi Rush lol

tall carbon
#

xd

sage abyss
sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Kongrats Elleander! What will be your next Hell level?

#

Also, those offline production caps are dumb. Everywhere.

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

It takes only a few weeks, indeed.

#

... Or months. I forgot precisely.

sage abyss
#

Anything less than 16 months will be a welcome change

frank aurora
#

Haha, I guess.

#

Just keep in mind, in case you were not aware yet, that the "boss rush" (or whatever it is called) mode will not submit waves five by five for the badge, so your last run will have to be a thousand waves.
I only used it once or twice for testing, anyway.

sage abyss
#

Yup, I've seen it update. I can't even get past wave 200 yet so it will be a while

frank aurora
#

Do you participate in tournaments, too?

sage abyss
#

opened a ticket since I can't

frank aurora
#

Aw, why?

sage abyss
#

says Tournament is N/A

#

as to "why" that's a question for the support team I suppose

frank aurora
#

I forgot what it looked like... so this does not ring any bell. I hope that they will fix this quick.

frank aurora
#

This one took twelve years of daily, yet casual, playing.

tall carbon
#

and you are not even remotely close to the other one

frank aurora
#

There is a way to speed that up, but I am too busy with the other garbadges.

frank aurora
#

🤣

#

Updating it might be a good idea, then?...

sage abyss
#

It's in LTS

frank aurora
#

"LTS"?

sage abyss
#

Long Term Support, not updated but not yet declared as killed

tender copper
#

ooof course its broken

#

To be fair, this one is more unusual in how it breaks to me, but still

tender copper
#

...i actually have a problem now

#

how exactly do i show that i did 52 levels, as well as get all the bonuses?

#

I can only really upload 1 image to the badge report...

tall carbon
#

you can post a random screenshot honestly, but anyway send screen of the bonuses as you unlock those by completely the other levels

tender copper
#

I think this screen alone is enough for the 52 levels badge, since i think you get this if you just beat every level

#

I have done all bonuses tho, so that should hopefully be my 8th impossible badge now

tender copper
#

My 9th impossible badge

frank aurora
#

There are two ways to send them several screenshots:

  • merge them into one, either manually by using something like Paint or, more conveniently, by using a website that offers this feature
  • upload them on an image-hosting website (like prnt.sc or imgur.com) and add the links to the description in the report
sage abyss
tender copper
#

Took me effort but, that's Pixelvader done

#

also i think kongregate is confused, im already playing pixelvader haha

sage abyss
#

If you liked Pixelvader, you should really check out Pixelvader

tall carbon
#

he got a point

frank aurora
#

Why trying new things when one already found something they enjoy? Why risking disappointment?

frank aurora
#

33/40 and two privatizations saved up... Seeing the progress bar of the War Clicks impossible garbadge filling up is extremely demoralizing considering that I already know that I have more than a year to wait...

tall carbon
#

I'm sorry for you lol

#

btw are you on boot camp 1? I never knew if it was better to stay there or go boot camp 2

frank aurora
#

I thought that boot camp 2 was only available after finishing the first one...

#

I do not want to restart from scratch anyway. The bonus would probably be too low to be able to catch up quickly enough to finish earlier.

tall carbon
#

heh, we'll never know I guess xD, I went boot camp 2, and I felt really depressed at some point because I didn't see much advantage

#

I was wondering if very late game it helps

frank aurora
#

Those games... Resetting everything, resetting resets, resetting resets of resets...
I never know wheither or not doing those things help, nor when they do.

sage abyss
#

You can switch bootcamps after e200 or sth like that, however I did not notice enough of an upgrade switching from BC1 to BC2 to warrant delaying the e308

tall carbon
#

the only good think is that, knowing how the game works, I was able to be more greedy with privatisations so I had a better run overall

sage abyss
#

the more of us assemble through the pain, the better guide we can make for any future souls trying to cross that river

frank aurora
#

How greedy were you the second time, dha? I am also wondering if waiting too much is not less efficient.

#

Wait, in this context "greedy" means that you privatized more often, doesn't it?

tall carbon
#

no, I only privatized when I couldn't make any more progress for like 24 hours

#

the less the better

frank aurora
#

Ah, okay. Well, then I am already playing optimally. Yay...

tender copper
tall carbon
#

gg

frank aurora
#

Hmm... Bob the Robber?

tender copper
#

yea im dealing with another idle game...

frank aurora
#

I feel you.

sage abyss
#

forge & fortune is supposed to be one of the better ones

frank aurora
#

Which does not necessarily make it a good one.

sage abyss
#

there are no good idle games, not on Kongregate at least

frank aurora
#

Not in this universe.

sage abyss
#

I will conduct a lukewarm defence of Cookie Clicker

tender copper
#

I was actually surprised at the fact i had to have some kind of strategy with the 4th boss in the idle game, knowing how each hero's special ability works and what team up is best to use for bosses

#

That was a nice surprise to see

#

...too bad the amount of time spending waiting on equipment to be made so that i can make the rare stuff and all is getting reeeallll slow

#

I will agree that it is a good idle game so far, minus the stupid long wait time with crafting items

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

A good idle game is a dead idle game.

#

Also, this waiting time is nothing compared to how long you will have to wait to fill the museum...

tender copper
#

that took nearly a week

sage abyss
#

"I can generate progress once every 4 days, that's so fast!" a thought briefly passed through my mind, then I realized I might be going insane with idle games

#

(for context I can generate 1000 gems every 3-4 days in Idle Monster TD, which lets me purchase Tech Scrolls which equal progress)

frank aurora
#

I forgot the details of this game... but I am almost sure that this is considerably more than I could.

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

I believe that this daily mission does not explain everything. 😂

sage abyss
#

It definitely helps, as it's daily 13 gems that are insanely overlooked due to the nuts requirement of 8hrs playtime in an IDLE

#

but yeah, I just read a bunch and am trying to focus on what people are saying to do

#

I'm just mad at the game in general since they did a baffling decision regarding the tower unlocks - you go through the game as normal, most of the towers are "Other element towers in its radius are better". There is one monster early on (wave 200? sth like that) which is "This monster is better for other monsters in the same element" which is the one you should be building around, however later unlocks do not let you replace it until Wave 800. That is pants-on-head stupid design. Why space the "obvious build around this" monsters THAT much?

#

And it's not like I can pay to reach that progression point much faster than what I can do as a f2p (unless I would be willing to spend a TON), which would at least put greed as a main design paradigm (money spending lets me rush "exotics" - support only towers which cannot do damage, helpful and worth building around lategame, but not helpful in reaching higher waves)

frank aurora
#

I am not sure to understand.

#

If you focus on two elements, you can build two good monsters with their appropriate boosts around them (plus a few others).

tall carbon
#

save abuse to draw good cards

#
  1. save
#
  1. buy card
#
  1. bad card, refresh page, good card, keep playing and save the game
#

repeat

frank aurora
#

Evil.

tender copper
#

my progress so far

#

I dont even know when the museum thing shows up

frank aurora
#

After seventh or eighth boss, if I recall correctly.

tender copper
#

its after boss 8

frank aurora
#

I believe that I am bound to be slower than anyone, everywhere haha.

tender copper
#

And now i've put myself in a bad situation haha

#

Cause i thought that Synthesis thing would actually help improve things

#

Instead, it actually made things worse and now i've wasted all my essense to cause my entire crew to perform worse

#

so now im having to gather as much items as i can to regain like, over 10 hours of essense to undo all of that

#

I did not manually save beforehand cause i legit havent been doing that at all the entire time

frank aurora
#

I forgot what it is... Is this not the thing that can be reversed?

tender copper
#

It is the thing that changes the stats, though i thought it was to boost it since thats what it advised

#

But no, just changes it from either life to damage or damage to life, except i swear the reverse just feels worse

frank aurora
#

I believe that I only used it once, just to try it.

tender copper
#

Playing RPG MO Sandbox feels... nice, after dealing with idle games

tender copper
#

god, finally.

frank aurora
#

Haha, I guess so.

tender copper
#

so close...

frank aurora
#

Yet so far!!

#

Jokes aside, going for one more badge on RPG MO Sandbox?

tender copper
#

I got an idea on what game i wanna get my 2000th badge from...

frank aurora
#

Mergest Kingdom?! 😄

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

As long as it is not the last badge...

tall carbon
#

the hard badge is longer

sage abyss
#

2 days tops and I'll get that badge

#

I just need to gather 500 gems for a pack and it should be done

frank aurora
#

Nice!

frank aurora
#

I have been taking my time in Idle Wizard, completing challenges along the way. I am at 87% done but progress is slowing down now... I hope that they will be useful haha.

frank aurora
#

Incremental Adventures: I finally ascended on layer four and got my first three points. Transcension unlocks at one hundred ascension layer five points... That is so slow.

All those games are so slow... 😩

sage abyss
#

open idle game
look inside
idling

sage abyss
#

Finally

tall carbon
#

gg

frank aurora
#

Well done!

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

No, I just play as unoptimally as I am used to.

sage abyss
#

also who tf is responsible for balancing the time to progress ration in one among zombies

#

I play Clash of CLans where a 21 day timer is not unheard of but this is like "come back in 2 months to make an incremental improvement also explore self-pleasure"

frank aurora
#

This sounds appealing. I am putting that game right after Mergest Kingdom and Tropical Merge in the priority list.

sage abyss
#

You are correct that it's more appealing than Merge slop. This is yet another confirmation that Merge games are the evil spawn of satan

sage abyss
#

I simply adore the singular Congratulation in One Among Zombies

frank aurora
#

ONE among zombies. ONE.

sage abyss
#

raid heroes: dragon age will have me throwing a fit - there is one wood generator and so many wood consumers I'll have to spend next 15 years upgrading the sawmill

#

of course wood generator is upgraded by wood, so i once again have to explore self-pleasure

frank aurora
#

That one should not be that long. Shortly before I got the last badge, they nerfed the battles' difficulty which helped me finish.

sage abyss
#

I'm hard stuck at battle 82 with near 0% hope of progressing

frank aurora
#

I forgot almost everything so I cannot help much. Craft/build/buy equipment, maybe? Enhance it?

#

Oh, also more heroes could help... even though most fell like flies.

sage abyss
#

yup, that requires gems, which require gold which requires wood

#

6/9 heroes, for more I also would need more wood

frank aurora
#

Ah, correct.

sage abyss
#

oh no the only way I can make progress in One Among Zombies is to craft 2 strong healing items for each mission do_not_want

it's gonna take like 5 years for me to get anywhere

help

tall carbon
#

you are allowed to cheat on that game imo

#

it's a paywalled russian absolute garbage

sage abyss
#

most of the new wave of badges are absolute trash garbage dump

tall carbon
#

yes, but this one is also paywalled lol

sage abyss
#

I mean, I haven't encountered a paywall so much as a timewall for now

tall carbon
#

well your estimate time is pretty accurate then lol

sage abyss
#

shame that free kred thing is broken, like 10 kreds would save me weeks lol

#

all the p2w items require you buy 512 of them, so they're obviously doodoo, but the cheapest packs for 1/2 kreds are where the value is

tall carbon
#

oh that is also the game where, the impossible badge was killing lvl 25 kavader, but there were only lvl 20 max

#

so... 2 devs tried to fix it without communicating

#

now there are 25 bosses and the badge is lvl 20

sage abyss
#

yeah, it was redone to lvl 20 boss out of 25

#

and I just killed lvl 13, with lvl 14 looking plausible

tender copper
#

a good load of those days was spent getting museum items up past level 3

sage abyss
#

those are realtime days or playtime?

frank aurora
#

This is precisely why I call them garbadges™ since the beginning...

#

Oh, there were more messages after the one I replied to... Oups.

sage abyss
tall carbon
#

they prolly balanced it based on cheaters

#

it was full of them when I played it

frank aurora
#

🤦‍♂️

sage abyss
#

that might have been one of the easiest imps I ever did

jade solar
#

Healing my poney is my favorite game 🙂

frank aurora
#

Eating my poney is my favorite game.

#

The hard badge on Raid Heroes: Sword and Magic does not take that long, if I remember correctly. About a week, maybe?

sage abyss
tall carbon
#

I was hard stuck at one point like it was really impossible, then I came back some months later and everything was just piss easy

#

they either make it easier or you should come back in a few days lol

sage abyss
#

Oh, I am already putting a lot into gem/gold generation, so I won't get hard stuck per se, it's just claiming poop daily and seeing results sometimes

#

All 3 games are urination easy and about resource management, they just remind me so hard of like the worst type of idle game where you have to claim daily but progress is ~monthly

sage abyss
#

just konkr.io but I suck major booty at that game lol

frank aurora
#

Yes, dha. They did make it easier at some point. This is how I got the hard (impossible?) garbadge I had been struggling with for a while.

tender copper
#

50 days in, and this is my progress thus far in Forge & Fortune

#

The mastering took me a long time due to waiting for me to get every item down to 0 cost because of the items just kinda eating materials before im able to make a levelling happen.

#

also me having to get a bunch more gold too

sage abyss
#

Hmm, smells like 3-4 month imp then?

frank aurora
#

Are you doing the museum part before the last boss?

frank aurora
#

Well... I just completed the last challenge in Idle Wizard but I have not even unlocked the requirement for the hard badge. I guess that my progression will not be sped up as much as I thought...

humble cobalt
#

8 months later...

tall carbon
#

gg..

frank aurora
#

Only eight?! Yahoo!

humble cobalt
#

Could have been done 30 days earlier if I had been more effective with "Privatization Points" on the first privatizations.

frank aurora
#

Almost 37/40 and four months in... so I guess that I am halfway there. Absolutely logical, by the way.

frank aurora
#

Two years, five months and two days.
MORE THAN TWO redacted YEARS BUT I DID IT!

I DID IT!!!!!!!

tall carbon
#

gg matrix

frank aurora
#

I will hopefully never have to touch this game ever again, but just in case some disaster that forces me to do so appear and another one messes up with online saves, I will put my save file here as safety measures. I would not survive having to start that from scratch. 😭

#

Yes, I consider Discord as my remote USB disk.

tall carbon
#

should I load this savefile now 🤔

frank aurora
#

...

tall carbon
#

it's very tempting ahah

frank aurora
#

No, suffer like I did.

tall carbon
#

nah I gave up after a month or 2

silk cave
#

i think they're tied to the user but it would be nice to skip that whole grind 😭

frank aurora
#

Idle Wizard has slowed down considerably. Gah... At least Law of the Cat God looks like it will not require too much time.

sage abyss
#

Law of the Cat God also slows down, but it isn't completely awful

tall carbon
#

cat god is kinda funny

#

idk the real time it takes because it was basically still in beta when we played it

#

and was unfinished

#

now it should be finished (?)

sage abyss
#

eh, it's somewhere, but eh, unless you're hardcore into cutesy anime cat aeshetic you'll check out long before the badges and could not care less after

frank aurora
#

There are still various "coming soon" things.

humble cobalt
humble cobalt
frank aurora
#

No, because something could happen to the server. Servers of Idle Wizard have been acting weirdly lately, for example...

frank aurora
#

Oh, also, I never understood how to play Idling to Rule the Gods so I did poorly the whole time, too.

frank aurora
#

Well, Law of the Cat God took less than two weeks. A week might be enough for people who play more actively.

Only four idle blerghs left! Three of which are actively being worked on... and terribly slow.

frank aurora
#

I am disappointed. I thought that Spite and Malice would be funny but I was quickly bored.

frank aurora
#

I speedran the hard garbadge for an extra accomplishment... and I lost once... What a hard badge!

#

Oh, by the way, as one comment suggests, playing against only one opponent greatly speeds up the games.

sage abyss
#

those facebook solitaire tier games were just... lame. not maddening, not stupid high requrements, they went through me without much echo

frank aurora
#

The other one (Passport Rummy?) was a lot more enjoyable, if I remember correctly.

sage abyss
#

it did make me giggle

frank aurora
#

What is this?

sage abyss
#

It's the base server address for One Among Zombies (or Alone Among Zombies I guess)

frank aurora
#

I see.

#

Hahaha
They have some good sense of humour.

#

Actually, no. That is not hilarious... Just funny enough to giggle, yes.

#

Why did they change it to One among Zombies? Alone among Zombies sounds better, at least to me.

tall carbon
#

Because there's only One active player

frank aurora
#

Haha

#

Ugh, everything moves so slow in that game... I spend more time waiting for movement to end than actually playing.

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

No, that is me.

#

Wait, are we both me?

sage abyss
#

You cannot be me, I am me

frank aurora
frank aurora
#

That cooldown of three hours between cadavres was not needed... 😒

sage abyss
#

almost none of that game was needed, especially the RNG on mission drops being so brutal

frank aurora
#

Indeed.

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Like I typed, this was not needed.

frank aurora
#

Constant lack of energy... Ugh!

sage abyss
#

i'd have infitely more energy if I didn't have to spend 30+ for each barrel

frank aurora
#

To do something, I have to wait even more than in an idle blergh.

sage abyss
#

except to claim your 1- 1 pet food you need to be semi active 😠

frank aurora
#

Yeah... I cannot always get it. Is pet food this important?

sage abyss
#

Well, pet food is the only guaranteed way to get the items that usually only rarely drop from missions, so I'd say yeah

frank aurora
#

My pet level was not high enough when I asked. I now fully see what it can do.

sage abyss
#

I finally got a crit, 15/20

frank aurora
#

All these shiny colours!

sage abyss
#

And the third skill basically rendered the second one obsolete

Disgusting

frank aurora
#

Very nice! I have yet to unlock the second one... I would need to increase my perception, but I would like some intelligence first, in order to improve damage of my cone atack and grenades (so there is a point in using them...).

sage abyss
#

The only benefit the second skill has is that it technically doesn't end the turn, but getting to 3 energy is such a pipedream it won't matter

sage abyss
#

this is a flat +75 damage which helps a ton, cone shot will not match it for a heck of a long time

frank aurora
#

Really? Being able to hit several enemies at once again would be very useful.

sage abyss
#

Yes, but you won't get the damage to kill them in one shot, making the endeavor pointless. Much better to have the movement to hide so that only 2-3 zombies can attack at once

frank aurora
#

That is indeed a strong skill... Well, good that I did not spend points in intelligence yet.

#

I will stay dumb, and I am proud of it!

sage abyss
#

Just a friendly reminder to first spend the cans on maxing researches, since you can't do it any other way

frank aurora
#

I am short on them so I am saving them for a gun upgrade.

sage abyss
#

Fair, equipment upgrades are also a chokepoint

frank aurora
#

I have not unlocked the damage research yet (that is he next one but I need two more cadavers) so that is not an issue, I guess. If I recall correctly, I already maxed out one (health?) or have one level left.

sage abyss
#

Also, the amount of stars you get depends solely on health % remaining at the end, so just take powerful healing items and the dog skill to cheese a 3 star so you can use hourglasses

#

Often Benny Hill tactics with an antiseptic and 1 zombie left help

frank aurora
#

This is what I assumed about stars. Thank you for confirming. Do you know more precisely how much health need to remain for three stars?

sage abyss
frank aurora
#

Okay, thank you.

frank aurora
#

I finally unlocked realms in Idle Wizard but changing realm now would only yield 1,44% of total impossible garbadge progress. Does anyone know when I should change realm and which upgrade I should buy in order to minimize the time spent on that game?

sage abyss
#

Ideally, you want to get 6.5e3 memories (mems) before realming. This is not a hard requirement, and if you are not already close to this amount, then don’t stretch your realm. This is for “Reclaimed Methods” - it takes this amount of mems to max it.

#

Under Realm Upgrades, in the bottom left of your Idle Wizard room next to your Character/Journal/Expedition buttons, the first thing you should do after Realming is to go to your Realm Upgrades, under the Heritage tab, max out Reclaimed Methods. Nothing is more important than getting more crafting dust.

#

Put any leftover points in Heritage under Tools > Restored Rituals and Reinvented Techniques
(...)
Under the Imprints tab, Memories Within Memories is the best imprint, followed by Overlapping Cycle, then Quasiacoustics, and after that the others barely matter. For your first realm, the spectrum synthetics imprints are probably your best bet (red then blue then green). Headstart is the worst imprint,

frank aurora
#

Thank you! I have twice as much as that requirement, so I guess that I should go for it.

sage abyss
#

Told ya, their wiki is godlike

sage abyss
#

i'm so mad I'm like 60 damage off 16/20

frank aurora
#

Aw!

frank aurora
#

I would like health bars to display the exact amount of health left...

frank aurora
#

93% hit chance: miss
97% hit chance: miss
In the same fight...

sage abyss
#

yup, that's why you go for a hundo or bust

frank aurora
#

"hundo or bust"?

sage abyss
#

100% or don't bother

frank aurora
#

I should get back to 100% tomorrow. Should.

#

Then I will upgrade health again... I lack a lot of that.

sage abyss
#

I never ugrade health tbh

frank aurora
#

I believe that I am too fragile right now.

sage abyss
#

I'm fragile as frick as well, but not being able to kill anything in 1-2 hits (preferably 1) is slready a death by surround so I gave up

frank aurora
#

I am able to kill everything so far in two hits... but I cannot survive long enough in the fifth level of the office. Moreover, more health will help with stars.

sage abyss
#

1045 health is the amount that pushed me through the third chapter for reference, a lot of it coming from gear

#

65 helm, 60 gloves, 110 body

#

The issue with bumping health is that all healing is automatically less effective at cheesing stars

frank aurora
#

Well, healing is pretty useless to me at the moment for this purpose. I would need better items. I do not craft those as I do not feel the ones unlocked worthy enough.

sage abyss
#

and I could take 3 of those into battle if I really wanted

frank aurora
#

Hmm... I have 940 health and level twelve cadaver already beats me far too easily. I do not like your glassy style haha.

sage abyss
#

Fair, but everything becomes such an HP sponge you'll be relying on crits soon enough

frank aurora
#

Which level of the workbench unlocks this item?

sage abyss
#

Armor takes me far more than HP ever could

frank aurora
#

Okay. Four more levels to go, then...

sage abyss
#

Yeah, push workshop with extreme priority

#

Better workshop = better gear = better stats the quickest

frank aurora
#

I do my best. I only beat level four of the office yesterday but I need to farm it manually while being cautious...

#

I did not focus on it enough today. I will go after that last cast iron chain tomorrow.

sage abyss
#

Friendly reminder that with 10str you can reliably outrun a fair portion of zombies

frank aurora
#

Honestly, I regret half the time raising it to this point as I very often run too far to be able to hit them...

sage abyss
#

5 Perception gives you a lot of range, but you could push it further I suppose

#

oh, sorry, attack range is solely a weapon stat

frank aurora
#

That is clearly not enough... I will see what to increase after reaching the requirement for the next promotion.

#

Ah, that is what I initially thought. You surprised me.

sage abyss
#

+4 lets me cover almost as much as I can run

frank aurora
#

That is too short for me. I was hoping for a better weapon range later.

#

I like this damage, though.

sage abyss
#

16/20! I finally got a crit

frank aurora
#

Yay! Good luck with the remaining ones. I beat the twelth one today.

#

I am almost at 38/40 on War Clicks... but I finally exhausted all of my available privatizations. Sadness.

sage abyss
#

Yeah, that's the misery zone

#

If you can make some progress before the monthly reset via timeskips this is the time

#

Also buy the 10/20/30 gold temp upgrades (the temp investor thingy)

#

They cost next to nothing and help a ton when facing the dead zones

frank aurora
#

I thought that they cost hundreds of gold.

sage abyss
#

reset on deploy, so it's best used sparingly, but it's perfect for the slog of the lasst privs

frank aurora
#

"Nope"? Ten trainers with three upgrades each... Yes, that makes hundreds of gold coins in total.

sage abyss
#

I mean, yes, it's 600 gold total, but that's not a bad cost

frank aurora
#

Well, for something that resets with each deploy, it does not cost "next to nothing" to me.

frank aurora
#

I can finally use a pet skill. This looks promising but only if I upgrade it enough... like the rest.

frank aurora
# sage abyss I finally got a crit, 15/20

I am only at +295 damage so I am still far away from you back then. I wish upgrade time was much lower. I luckily beat cadavre 15 today and I lack both damage and health to go further. What about you? Are you getting close to the last one?

sage abyss
#

I took a 3 week time off, but I have a strong hunch I could basically beat level 20 with a single crit

#

Materials for grenades are running low so I will have a noticeable slowdown in attempts, but it's basically all there if I get lucky

frank aurora
#

A single hit?! Woah!

dreamy epoch
#

Came back to play

#

I thought this "idle" game was going to be a long one. But it took less than 5 days

#

Grow Defense

#

I know it is possible to achieve it in even less time, but I didn't have the time to actually play

#

I will keep playing it anyways just because I want to complete it, and use the rebirth mechanic, also, I'm at floor 7 of mining. But no more badges in there...

#

About data:
15m+ missiles dmg
98k+ lasers dmg
Didn't spend on other weapons, just "spare" coins.
175k+ hp (Abusing the inventory equipment switch, so, first used the bronze ring for the extra 40% hp, later switched it with more dmg)
Round 1401 in the forest
Level 801 - 300 lvls on the 3 of the bottom, and the rest on lasers
Lvl 30 on missile with power gems

frank aurora
#

Only five days?! HOW?!

#

Oh, is it because of that new mining thing? I have no idea what it does.

dreamy epoch
#

I don't think is because the mining thing. I've just upgraded the missiles mostly and abused the yellow potions to keep buying missiles. Today for example, I have with over 50m+ dmg and I DID NOT use potions today

#

But killing the last boss is easy already, without having to swith inventory or anything

#

But literally did a single rebirth ever

#

Literally missiles and lasers were my only focus

#

And I know that I didn't play optimally, because you can farm infinite rebirth coins from the lvl 5 if you want, and at the same time, you can save your game, kill a boss, and get their legendary item or load your game again, but I didn't do any trick

frank aurora
#

Untrusted will apparently vanish on December 15th, for some reasons. I guess that I will have to put some games on hold to go after that one.

#

Anyway, two cadavers and privatizations (excluding the last free one) left for One among Zombies and War Clicks. The slug is getting there!

frank aurora
#

Ugh, that game (Untrusted) goes too fast. By the time I finish thinking, I am already one turn later. 😂
I do not even understand half of what people type in the chat... sometimes I feel like they are just hitting their keyboard with their head. Or their cat's head...

frank aurora
#

Well, I accidentally got the medium garbadge on my way toward the multiplayer and last easy garbadge. I had not even understood properly the requirements haha.

thin echo
#

This thread's name is how I feel about Kong diff now

frank aurora
#

Pff, I took down the twentieth cadaver earlier but I did not even get the garbadge...

frank aurora
#

Now the site tells me that my e-mail address is not valid, which never happened until now... Okay, no problem: I will just submit the stat manually to the server if the game keeps refusing to do it itself...

frank aurora
#

Ah, switching to the old layout made the tracked progress go from 18 to 20. Tss.

#

Anyway, I wonder what my next target will be.

#

That will be Melee Mojo: pvp auto chess, whatever that is about. I never touched it.

tall carbon
#

goes down quickly

frank aurora
#

Well, it has been refusing to load, today. Did it shut down? 😭

#

Astral Raiders, here I come, then.

tall carbon
#

choose your favourite raider

#

._.

frank aurora
#

Ah. That one does not load either.

..I need to kill someone.

tall carbon
#

try diff browser

#

it had problems since the beginning

frank aurora
#

Nope, no change. Ugh, let us try This is how we roll... A game from Kongregate cannot fail me, right? Right?!

frank aurora
#

Grr... If it was not full of bugs, I would need less time.

frank aurora
#

Please Don't Eat Me's impossible garbadge may be the worst one ever invented.

tall carbon
#

just make a little macro and let it cook overnight

#

it's too repetitive to be considered

frank aurora
#

Macro?

tall carbon
#

pulover's macro creator

frank aurora
#

I am finally done with War Clicks! This only took eight months and a half. Yay!

...

-# Yeah, yay...

tall carbon
#

lol amazing you are still at this

#

so much endurance

frank aurora
#

Only three idle blerghs left.

#

I still need to get back to Incremental Epic Hero 2, though...

tall carbon
#

that won't be completed until 2033

#

and there's no way to make it faster, matematically

frank aurora
#

Shhh.

#

Not even power of friendship?

tall carbon
#

it was something about how many swarms can happen in 1 hour

#

if you play 24/7 vanquishing them all

#

it takes many many years

#

oh I see over 11.000 people got the badge now, it's either an error, or there's a complete savefile that is available for the public

frank aurora
#

I see. I believe that I hoped at some point to find something that would increase their spawn rate.

frank aurora
#

Maybe the problem was for another garbadge? The ascension one, maybe?

tall carbon
#

oh all of them takes very long

#

but yeah all of them now have 11k+ people so there must be an obvious way to import savefile

#

I just wouldn't bother to have them that way

#

I'd prefer if they remove the badges entirely or lower the requirements

frank aurora
#

All? Hmm... This seems weird. Aaaah, could this be related to the infamous "glitch" that popped at the top of the Kongregate leaderboard this year? They might not have removed all the badges illegitimely acquired by those hundreds or thousands of accounts.

tall carbon
#

huh? I'm unaware of a glitch like that
