    Has anyone noticed an issue with the Sparrow Squadrons? I didn't notice this behavior in the beta, but since I got them they are spending a lot of time just doing circles around the war tortoise. Circles and circles.

    Also I finally hit level 1000 with the main machine gun and I've lost all of the bonus damage including all of the token perks I've purchased this generation. It was 5000 damage and then another 5000 damage. Now after finally hitting level 1000 the extra 5000 has disappeared, it says the gun is at level 1070, and my max damage is 5,900.

    Still love this game. In my mind, the point of am idle clicker is the grind. Not so much, how far can i get today, but more of a look back a week or a month and see how far i have come.

    Ive played lots of clickers and incremtal games and honestly find the imagination and creativity behind this to be top notch!

    I look forward to other updates and watching your careers take off! Been an avid follower since bug heroes!

    Is there an optimal time to go next gen? I read someone said as soon as possible. What's the implications if I try max level before going next gen

    I regen when I die. I always try to go as far as I can go. Until I die. Then regen. This is after I unlocked all of the units. Before that the key is to keep regening quickly to unlock your troops.

    Haha very insane. The avarice is astonishing like hey forsaken, love your new free game but could you add this this this this this this this this and this? Fix the issue with the forced timer, that's it. That's all this game needs. Can't you make the turtle move? Stfu and make your own game lol.

    The only added thing I've seen mentioned that would be cool would be a bestiary, but I'll still sleep at night without one. A lot of these suggestions just seem nitpicky. I digress, I'm sure FM knows what needs to be done and they'll try to please everyone in due time.

    I know people are just giving their input and trying to improve the game but slow your roll people. Haha. Maybe I'm wrong though just reading through the thread it seems a bit much

    Exactly. If he thinks this is anything, should check out the original Bug Heroes thread. People love discussing their games in excruciating detail :D

    What makes Foursaken so awesome is that though not all their games work for all players, they care to make unique gaming experiences, and they care to make each experience the best it can be within the confines of the design.

    If I'd downloaded this game from some developer I'd never heard of or a big developer not known for giving a rat's behind what people thought and started seeing the imbalance issues after such a short while I'd have already deleted the game and moved on. It's precisely because there are genuine issues with the current design AND Foursaken has a track record of responding positively to player feedback that I am still playing and provided the feedback I did. I know from past experience that our feedback is taken seriously and efforts will be taken to improve the game.

    It's not that we're nitpicking or freeloading. They DID ask for suggestions and, of course, issues. I love the game as it is already, ads aside. I personally have no issues with the timer. The "forced" break reminds me to finish whatever I'm working on. The only issue with the timer is if you die before you can next-gen. Then, the possibility of continuous play FM claims the game has is not there.

    Do I think it's cool for more utility-based, game-changing perks to be added to the game? (Like range and aoe?) Yep. Am I going to harp about it? Nope. It's just food for thought, and whether FM implements it or not is up to them.

    On the one hand, FM is trying to avoid making the game too complex. It's an idler. On the other, idlers themselves tend to crave multiple layers to their game. I'm just thrilled to hear there's going to be more content added to the game, period. Heroes? Can't wait!

    Don't you think Mouse Assault Squad are a little overpowered ?
    I was stuck in low level (around 10-12) and then, I put 4 mouses on the field, upgrade them the most I can and this morning I reach level 30 nearly in automatic mode :|

    After playing amore I think this game need a system of additional quests, like in Wh40k Freeblade (except forging quests of cause).

    a question about mines. is the max number of gems the number of mining tower rate you have?

    like if i have a mining tower rate of 4, will only 4 show up at one time? i tried leaving the four gems out and no new ones spawned. i had to click on them to get them to spawn again.

    Is it interesting to invest in Mining Tower ?
    I never found it really helpful. At the begining, yes but after the level 10... :/

    While I love Foursaken games, I never take the time (like I should) to figure out strategical things like if it's more beneficial first to upgrade the number of drops the Mining Tower produces or if it's better to increase the $ amount for each drop first... Mostly I just go down the list upgrade whatever items I have money for - which probably explains why I'm still not that far along in the game :rolleyes: (I can't even imagine how low of a level I'd be if I didn't invest in that double earner IAP from day one, LOL)

    Man, I was just zooming the camera in and around and noticing just how nice the detailed graphics are, sheesh. Always love the crisp menus Foursaken games have, and sounds, etc, but the level of detail on this one when zooming in is pretty amazing. Very nice. :)

    Correct - mining rate is not only the max amount of orbs out at once, but also the amount of separate orb spawns. So with a rate of 4, you'll get 4 separate orbs spawning on their own individual timers.

    Yep, there are some scaling issues at level 30-50+ in that you get diminishing returns for the value of the upgrade (not quite at level 10 though; there is still a lot of room to get a good amount of mining cash by upgrading the value!).

    We're visiting a lot of "later game" balance issues (later game as in, levels 30-50+) hopefully for this first update though.

    Anyone else get a craving for Bug Heroes 3 after playing this? :D
     
  17. I actually really am enjoying these new IPs! Bug Heroes is awesome, but this one in particular looks like it could be a great one to spinoff of or make a sequel.

    Im glad they are unofficially revisiting Block Fortress in the next year or so, at least that is what Mr. ;) implies in the Twitter world.

    Still think a FoursaCON would be fun, a small convention for Foursaken and maybe some other indies, with some behind-the-scenes and community gathering, previews and just playing these games together.. if I or someone else would just put their mind to it :D

    Not the brightest xrayon are ya. Hes saying, free to play games that have boosters and powerups thaallow player to advance farther, more easily, amd quicker are a turn off....especially with gamecenter integrated games..because then you can only be a top player if you pay money. There isnt an option to earn those perks in game(doble money,damage), so it can be a turn off for some, especially with all thr f2p games that have scarred many of us.

    I love the game, just saying you didnt undertstand that guys point

    Someone posted he's level 278 or something is that even possible? How did he climb up so high when there's balancing issue?

    I think that is Billy aka LordShadowz. Word has it he is a multi-billionaire, and when he cant be playing games, he has a number of minions that play for him, pretty much 24/7. :D
