Agreed. But from ngmoco's perspective maybe we have been earning too many credits (which I disagree with of course). What I don't think ngmoco realizes is that on top of allowing everyone to earn more credits, taunting for a lot of credits really does add something to the game that is now gone.
They should just cap it to the number of credits that you can earn with constantly taunting without hacking. So, for example, if you can get a total of 8 credits per body, multiply that by 10 and make that the cap. So that'll be 80 credits for taunting, plus the credits you get per kill. You'll be able to get about a maximum of around 150 credits.
Once you're skill level 7000 and above you will get 70 credits max for being first... because other players are too good and no time to taunt!
I'd just like to say that ngmoco has really made it harder for the lower level people to win or rank up now. Increased prices (Unless they changed it in 1.1) for upgrades, reduced taunting credits, and the messed up matchmaking. yesterday I lost to a 44 by 3 and my skill went down over a hundred points. He was double my level BTW. so Ngmoco can you please put more weight on levels in matchmaking? I dont care if I get matched up with 40s, I can still win, but when I do lose I dont want to drop skill like crazy.
I think 150 is still a lot. In our games we don't get more than 80 in total since we all play with vap.
I know. I remember back when I used to use a PC and kept taunting bodies, I got around 130 credits or so in a match. So yeah, I don't think it's a lot. If you're constantly taunting bodies, you can reach that amount. Terrorist has gotten loads of credits before, without hacking. I think he got over 140 once.
Punishing regular players for the antics of cheaters? That's not even the real reason. The reason is so you can limit the number of credits earned, forcing players to buy your energy packs. Uninstalled. 1-star.
Was 1star rating really neccessary? I mean everything else works fine, cept the matchmaking and this. I go with 2 or 3? I'm just saying that I've seen too many games get one star reviews because they dont have something that people WANT not NEED. just saying
Dishonest business practices always get 1-stars from me. Reducing the reward of playing in order to gain more money under the guise of trying to curb cheating is unacceptable.
Oh makes sense I guess, but is it really 'dishonest'? I mean it is pretty lazy but still. Actually lazy might be equal to dishonest.
No you didn't uninstall it They've made a good decision to lower the credits earned from taunting as many use this flaw... now they should instead increase the credits for performance... How about 20 credits more for #1 16 credits more for #2 12 credits more for #3 10 credits more for #4
and add credits per kill seriously does ANYONE know how much credits per taunt? I'm super curious to know
It's just insulting that they think we're stupid enough to believe the reason they lowered it is because "it looks stupid to shake your phone on a bus". Honestly. Is there anyone in this forum who believes that is a reason? If so quote me and say "I do". I would like to see.
Who plays this on the bus anyways? My hands need to be steady... the bumping, stopping and accelerating of the bus would throw me way off. I'll stick to tic-tac-toe on the bus.
That's not the reason that gave for establishing the cap. Get your facts straight. He said it looked stupid if you're basically just shaking your phone the whole time on a bus (the hackers). That's what he meant with that statement.
"and frankly, you look silly when you're shaking your iphone on the bus), so even if we were to fully address the ability to modify controls, this cap would remain." Facts are straight.
Yeah:youre about to take a winning move against the hard AI and suddently the bus stops qnd you make a wrong move and bam! Its tic tac toe for the AIand youre like noooooooooooooooooooo i was just about to beqt him lol but honestly who plays eliminate in the bus???i would probably miss my station cause i wanted to finish the round!!
