I must say that watching people give strategies to each other is highly rewarding for me. It's one of those small things that game development can provide and that no money can buy. Really, this is awesome, and I thank you all very much for doing it! That being said, here's how the painting drop is calculated: 1. Each hit done with a weapon type adds 0.25% chance for the painting to drop. 2. Depending on your luck level, this total chance can be sligthly enhanced. (Luck level 1 to 4: No bonus, level 5 to 8: total x 1.125, level 9: total x 1.25) 3. The subtotal is then capped at 6.25% Example 1: 1. I hit the enemy 13 times with a Scepter so I have a total of 13 x 0.25 = 3.25% chance 2. I have a luck level of 5 so my total is now 3.25 x 1.125 = 3.66% chance 3. My chances are lower than 6.25% so no change here. My chances to get the King's Painting at the end of the battle are 3.66% or about 1/33 chance. Example 2: 1. I hit the enemy 31 times with guns so I have a total of 31 x 0.25 = 7.75% chance 2. My luck level is 2 so no change here. 3. Since I have more than 6.25%, my chances are down to 6.25% or 1/16 to drop the Gunner Painting. Basically, this means you never have more than 1/16 chance to get a painting. This also means that to get the maximum chance to drop a painting, you must do 25 hits with a weapon type. All other hits are wasted for that battle. With a luck level of 4 or more, you only need to do 22 hits and with a luck level of 9 you only need to do 20 hits. Finally, for the first painting, the rules are slightly different to give you more chance to get your first painting. (Each hit = 1% and caps at 20%)
Thanks for the info Multimage So that means that if you haven't won ANY paintings yet, I highly recommend going for the King's Painting first. As that is probably the most annoying one to get.
It is but its hard to win a battle when you just come to lvl 4 because you probably dont have the right power yet. Just received my kings painting, after 93 battles with 1 scepter and the rest robots. Now farming wooden lvl 4 on which I luckely got gold after 2 matches. Now its every 30% of the time a win. I love the game, farming for all lvl 10 weapons now. Can't wait for the update to arrive. I finally get to get the hang of he game, lot of depth in it.
Firstly thank you for the great game, really enjoying it. Just wondering when a update will be released fixing the fact that "normal" chests are better than "super" chests? I'm really keen to start using my 2 superior DAN4-H3 in farming.
Oh, so this IS a bug! I thought I was just imagining things! btw Multimage, you didn't mention this in the update, but thanks for fixing the thing where listening to your own audio would stop whenever you did any action in the game.
Hardcore bug So in hardcore mode, when you lose, it deletes your game. I have a game going in which I have never lost, though on one of the enemies, it shows I have a loss. I don't remember when or how it happened, attached is the screenshot:
Did you by any chance got a phone call and went on with something else afterwards? Then going back to the game it started from the beginning? The order in which you get each party member is random and the drops from chests are all random too. Replaying the game usually means you play with a different strategy because of which party members are the strongest in your team. Also there's a hard mode and hardcore mode so many things to try, many secrets hidden, etc. I'd say it has a lot of replay value but I'm a little biased
You can "lose" a battle by quitting the battle mid way. I suppose in Hardcore mode, that doesn't count as dying.
If you quit the battle before it is over in Hardcore mode, it will delete your game. I did figure out how it happened, though. If you are in the middle of a battle, and put the game in the background, and then iOS shuts it down, when you come back to it, you are out of battle. It then shows as a loss for you.
Multimage: In fact, this brings about an easy cheat you can do in Hardcore mode. I have been quite flustered at the top of the Hardcore leaderboard, who just came out of nowhere, after I'd been diligently grinding my way up for weeks. It turns out that Spoiler in the middle of a battle in Hardcore, you can use the home button to go to the home screen, then double tap it to bring up the running apps, and kill the King Cashing 2 app. When you come back in, it reloads the game, and you are out of the battle. With that trick, there is no fear of ever losing, and you can just keep replaying battles when it looks like you might lose, with no consequences. Not sure if you care to fix that bug, since apparently only 46 people out of over 8,000 have even played it! Thanks again for an amazing game.
Yeah I knew about that but I prefer for someone to not lose his game legitimately. That situation can happen normally to anyone playing on an iPhone. Plus, I think it's a burden to constantly kill the app and you also must pay the price to enter the level anyway. So yeah, if someone wants to do it, go for it!
multimage, and word on fixing the black vs. gold chest loot? Seems like black chests give better loot than gold chests.
Finally got my king's painting after 100+ battles.... Now farming wooden farm but have 1 quick question, how do i get the weapon Superior Spiked Flail (20% chance of chest)? Had won near 200 battles and this one still not drop.. so every time only 1 chest drop... Thx in advance
Luck of the draw I'm afraid.. Though you could try to equip Bonus Weapon Loot to try and have more chance of that dropping from the one chest
I have to say I'm loving this game everything about this game is great and gave you a 5 star review on iTunes and I'm now a fan of this series.
