Sometimes I am wondering if this game has so much AI that it gets obsessed by something. As I noticed here, it is pretty headstrong in giving one what one refused previously. My girlfriend reached Barbarian brigands {5} at level 6 by getting {3}, {4} and {5} almost in the row. I got in hunt Giants(14), Giants(17) and Giants(22) in less than 24 hours (the hunts with 17 and 22 one after the other - luckily me I leveled up :D).
So, all I can say, "game, you've got an obsession!" :) |
| re 17/18 thx Xerfer |
I have lost 1.5 reputation with a loss before...pretty sure...maybe even 2 points lol! Surely, I am not the only one ;)
But yes, I keep getting the 5 attempt army ones, but I have never seen most of the monsters (so most of mine are lvl 1-0 when I do finally get them). I think I am up to level 13-15 for every single faction 5 attempt army.
For a necro with a low faction, it is very difficult, I just pass them up.
So yea, I sympathize with you all...the 'random' code seems to 'royally' screw people over ^^ |
I think the same 'random' code is also used for roulette as well. This is why so many players think they can cheat the system and hit the jackpot.
No random code are truly random, but I think the code used by this game just lump random strings together, which leads to so many "obsessions". |
| you all lose because you do not pray to the god of random. start doing that for about 3 times a day + bring sacrifices (in the form of your dead soldiers), and the god of random will look in favor towards you :) |
Well the thing is reputation of MG is more or less worthless....
The only thing that it does is control how often you do quests. If you have done many qs for your combat level challenges are hard -> reputation drops -> slows you down. If you did too few reputation 10 allows you to do many qs in a row catching up and then you get at a point that you need to gain something major to seriously move on ( combat level or faction level usually ).
I've been in this situation for quite a long time, spent most of level 9-10 at reputation < 2-3 all the time, it really doesn't matter that much... There were also periods that i had reputation 8-10 for several weeks in a row. Don't get obsessed with this number! |
i think the game design is a sort of problematic. Just try to prevent players from winning.
if you win a hunting, the # of same creature will jump 30% more next time you meet them. if you pass them, they will appear again and again. so i suggest wear cheapest arts and lose the hunting. so you will not meet this type of creature in quite a long time.
the same as MG quest, if you refuse it, it will pop out more frequently, so just lose it. the game design does not allow you keep winning. if the quest is too hard, at least you still have chance to win when you level up. but in case of caravan.....i have nothing to say, just feel ridiculous. |
That design is very good... it makes sure that character advancement in guilds is parallel and requires at higher levels to do a variety of battles to be successful.
Also losing the hunt will not mean that you wont get same thing again soon... losing or passing has nothing to do with the amount of time needed to get same thing again. I've done a good amount of battles in every guild so far and the encounters are more or less random ( random means there is a chance to meet same thing 2 or 3 times in a row or meet one monster every 5-6 hunts for several days or never meet it for months.... ) |
| I think the game designs forces you to balance out and try out all the guilds. |
the overall design is good, my point is the game difficulty. what did you think most of the huntings are red, occationally yellow, rarely green, and never white? i think a large potion of the players are not like you guys would like to face extra challenge after a whole day work. losing more will frustrate them.
let's look at the data. there are more than 228k registered id, let's assume everyone has 3 multis, so there are 76k independent players. assume everyone appear just 1 hour per day and not show up at the same time, so devided by 24, there should be at least 3k+ players showed up. if look at the # of online, 500-1300 daily. that does mean something. |
people that register accounts on free browser games don't mecessarily stick to them..... i got account in more than 20 browser games to check them out but i never play...
one of the reasons this game does not have huge population is because for someone that has never played a homm game it is rather complex. But that fact also increases its value for the old heroes fans. |
#30 and #31:
Many people feel frustrated also because of slow development due to the in-game "economy", so, they just quit. There many other reasons which discourage people to play this game, but this subject is off-topic for this thread.
Coming back to the topic, there are two possible explanations for these "obsessions":
1. Casino rule: the house never loses.
2. In every good RNG (random number generator; "good" = very long period) the generated numbers tend to form local clusters for a short period, even if over all the RNG gives an uniform distribution.
So, just be patient and try from time to time the MG quests. When you see something you like, it may be you will have the nice surprise to get it over and over again. :)
About hunts, I will wait until combat level 9 or 10 to be able to say "my hunts are too difficult". By now, I was hunting "Top Hunters" records, so, I was pleased with the idea of +30% increase. But up to now, I combined hunting with MG quests and pvp combats, so, I haven't reached the point to say I cannot hunt anymore. This game offers different types of combats, so, if you cannot go further in one type, try other(s) (e.g., find/create a clan of friends and do friendly pvp combats). |
| I hate when i call for help and there is no one to help me but i know there are many level 9 online!I am traveling to other locations when player needs help and what i get for return!And computer give me back several times same army to fight like "here you are-100 more fks or minos".I think that is not fair and most players are nervous about that and cant enjoy game! |
I am traveling to other locations when player needs help and
... i am being ambushed =)
don't you?
I reached 5lvl HG. I can get next level, helping in hunt and asking for help. But i don't know how to reach lvl 7 even with help |
@34
Even if i am ambushed i still can help!When you travel with one recruit battle finishes in seconds and there is still time for help! =) |
#33:
The best solution is to make some friends in hunting and to ask for them to help you. I don't know how is in the clan you are, but this is the way in my clan (as far as one is able to help, he or she will travel and will not look at how much the combat costs). But I've seen players doing that even without being in the same clan.
#34:
I reached level 5 as well, but I still have something like 76 modern golems because the game loves to keep on giving me the same creature types. :) I suppose, I can survive by myself further. |
| I ever declined 5 times in a row too ... and RandhyDBest now just has 3 reputation .. ^^ |
