    Anyone else have a problem with the 'Like on FB for 200 coins'? I click the button to open Facebook - which it does - but it doesn't open to the Rubicon page or anything like that; just to my timeline. What do I need to 'Like' to receive the coins?

    Thanks,

    Jamie

    Dear Rubicon,

    I have spent about $85 in game myself and had 2 other people use my referral for a total of about $120 in game Rubicons and I am still missing many of the key cards in game while other cards i have 6+ copies.

    Can I suggest some type of increased chance to win missing cards? I understand trade is coming sometime in the future but who knows how long until that functionality is added.

    Multiplayer: please quick fix the issue with 95% of all players being AFK.

    Also, some skill animations take way too many seconds to cast.
    * For example the card that gives you 1 mojo for fre Hjrnir or something takes a whopping 3-4 seconds to activate... If this game combat animations could be increased or atleast allow us to do multiple commands at same time without having to wait for previous one it would increase the fluidity of the game.
    *For example if i want to do +1 mojo skill, move and attack, use another spell on a separate target and end my turn why not allow me to quickly do all 3 actions and end my turn? The action can all happen at same time rather than do one action and be forced to wait, can't even select next unit until previous action is fully finished... This is not bery iser friendly and slows down the action wayyyy too much. Perhaps a real time so units have energy gain and can act as their energy gets full sort of like Champs battlegrounds.

    Suggest: legendary weapon warriors can use and their attack becomes archer ranged at -1 penalty.

    Please add more Bows and mage Staffs, there are wayyyy too many warrior weapons

    *If you buy in game Rubicons use my above code and you get 50% more of Rubicons! You only get this 50% bonus once total so make sure your first purchase with the above code is as big as you can afford so you get the most benefit. Your 2nd purchase and so on will have no bonus 50% as option will not be available for you to use a referral on subsequent purchases!

    Thanks for the reply!

    Do you mean that we can get 50 coins for ads indefinitely? I tried a few times but could not proceed anymore. So only limited times for one account?

    Anyway, my point is that from time to time I got kicked out of the game for "not responding after 90 sec". I've experimented a little bit and found that when the opponent quits during my turn or from the very beginning, this could happen. Hope this helps!

    There is a limit imposed by the advert supplier of about 20 a day, but we're trying to get that lifted.

    Sometimes there just aren't any ads to show though, although they do promise a fairly full supply.

    @Chaos, the upcoming trading system will clear up most of those issues, but we can't start doctoring the randomness else people will rightly start calling foul. We're on the multiplayer stuff already but we have to tread carefull with live server udpates.

    I find it odd that watching adverts is bar none the best way to earn free rubicoins (and probably the best way period). Beating an easy campaign level gives you around 60-80 rubicoins with a tripler. Battles last around 10 minutes. Adverts give you 50 rubicoins with NO tripler. An add lasts 30 seconds max.
    So what if you can only watch 20 adds a day? You get 1000 rubicoins a day by doing this (no tripler) and it takes 10 minutes max. Meanwhile, the guy who is actually playing the game only gets 60-80 in the same time, less than a tenth of what the add guy gets, and they have to use a tripler to get that much while the ad guy doesnt!

    Conclusion? Give heaps more rubicoins for winning. Maybe lower the amount of rubicoins you get for adds. But earning money through the game, even with a tripler, is crazy slow.

    We might look to tweaking all this soon, but playing the game is meant to be the fun part. :)

    Once you pull in a few posse members and rank up a little, you can earn about 150 coins from every win with the tripler, especially when you play in games with >2 players as there are bounties to be had for killing heroes.

    The video payouts are currently overpaid though. It's based on an ad length of 1"30 as described in the advertisers blurb, but they don't seem to be serving many of those. Get in while you can!

    I'm earning around 100 with the tripler. Looking forward to try a three way match!

    Playing the game IS the fun part but an immense amount of gameplay is required in order to purchase the chests (apart from the little 'random' one which for the most part gives you junk) - so like others I've spent what is really a silly amount of money on IAP's. I personally feel the game offers way too little rubicoins by gameplay which is a shame.

    ... and the facebook 'like' is definitely broken too ;-)

    HOWEVER... the gameplay is really fantastic - which on balance makes the game a winner (begrudgingly, though).

    Part of me wants to agree that even with the tripler the payouts are low but then another part of me doesn't want to collect all the cards to soon, I'm torn becuase the game is really great and opening the packs of cards is part of the appeal for me, having all the cards would lose some of the magic.
    Guess what I'm trying to say is IMO it's fine the way it is.
    (And facebook like worked for me?)

    I turn going with a theme for my decks, like my current one is all orks, and my leader is the guy with the blue lightning crackling around him as he gives you 6 energy a turn by default at the cost of health and attack.

    For people saying Easy pays too little, just be aware that there is a big pay out for clearing all the Easy levels (600 if you have the trippler I think) and then the medium levels pay +10 (so +30 w/ trippler), and hard levels pay +20 (+60 with trippler).

    Really like the battles but advance in the game is too slow.
    I really want another hero next to my starter hero but it is 3000 coins! With 100 coins gor a win I need 30 wins for a hero that is insane.

    And that is whitout chest and you sldo need those, I am now on medium difficulty and get smashed by the AI because he has cards I can only dream of.

    I'd agree with that, the heroes could do with being cheaper, especially since they don't really give any bonus or negative, there more of a play style choice.

    First of all let me say that I am really enjoying the game. I bought the tripler, and I am about halfway through the Easy campaign. This is a great mix of turn based strategy and CCG mechanics. My only concern is the heavy emphasis on the multiplayer experience. While I know that is Rubicon's emphasis, I personally do not enjoy playing real people online. Reading through these pages gives some of the reasons why. I prefer playing the AI. I hope that there is either an expanded single player experience added, or simple allow us to replay single player missions while still getting some rubicoin reward. Possibly getting half or third of the "regular" reward when you replay.

    I agree that these should be cheaper, as it really is heavy price to pay for a play style choice.

    I hope that a referral thread can be made somewhere so this thread can be about game impressions and discussions, not just referral codes.

    location, location.
    Have been having great fun with this so far. Competed the tutorial and easy campaign and then bought the trippler as I found myself hooked. The game has really started to show its depth now that I've got a few more cards (currently using a deck of around 60).

    Have only ventured into multiplayer once (got my arse whipped) but will be spending more time on that in due course.

    Only complaints so far are that I've had a few crashes when playing the medium campaign and my battery life is taking a hammering.

    Sorry about the crashes, we know exactly what they are and a fix is in with Apple right now. They've been taking a while to approve stuff though lately. :(
