Thats what I figured... in those cases it doesnt even matter bc if he doesnt have a target, then that means everything is already dying super quick, which means you dont even need his dps anyway I figured thats the "issue", but I dont really see it as an issue. The Sparrow is invaluable against higher HP units because of his missile!
We're in the final phases of testing now. Hopefully Monday or Tues is when we'll submit - after that its up to Apple review! When all is said and done could be anywhere from end of this week to sometime next week before it hits the AppStore... it'll be worth the wait though!
I concur with Billy's conclusion about the sparrow. For me they do nothing until after level 500's since my units take more than 1 hit to kill the enemies. It makes sense if they are short range since they would die before they get into range. The negative money occurs at 2bil 147m. I noticed that some of the weapon damages cap at that number as well. My guess is it's the 32bit int limitation? Might have to up it to 64bit!
Hey! Excellent game! Totally addicted! I only have one complaint. On my Iphone 5c , 2 gig free space. In the levels around 70 up to 100 it lags soooo much. I have been reading a bit on this thread but can't seems to find someone with the same problem... I'm running the lowest graphics settings but still sometimes it's barely playable. Any fix for this in the next update? Thanks for your time and keep up the good work!
Ok, In completely wrong and you guys are absolutely right. I see exactly what's happening. Yesterday I played for about an hour and a half straight. When I logged in I was at level 336 wave 6. The icon to fight a boss was available so I tapped it. The wave was in the middle of progress. The sparrow squadrons began circling the war tortoise non stop. The wave slowly came down as enemy was killed. The sparrows still kept circling. The wave was defeated and bam the boss appeared. Immediately the sparrows all turned and ran off to engage. It was immediate. They started firing. Then when the boss died the next wave started and they attacked further as units appeared. So this is EXACTLY what you guys are saying. I was wrong. There is no issue. Thank you guys. They DO hover around the war tortoise though and it can make someone feel like it's a malfunction. Maybe you can change it so they stay out in the field? Billy
Hi! You mentioned some sort of compensation for the older players with rgard to the new update for the rescaling of perks. Any news on what it's likely to be? I sort of want to be able to be prepared for the update. Since reading about it, I've started taking those perks which won't scale, like range and money, so as to "future-proof" or something to that effect. Also, I would like to suggest a filter or new sorting for perks, possibly by the order their presented in the menus, or, just let is rearrange them at will?
No more R-rated ads Great game. I'd like to see the option of certain enemies/bosses having a chance to drop rare/legendary weapons/perks, instead of just perks after a period of time or getting to a certain level of completion. Really looking forward to the option to turn off ads permanently. Don't need to see anime boobs/underwear and slow-mo bullet-time headshots. Not family friendly.
Most of the time I get that bloody cooking frenzy one with the animation at the start that is unrelated to actual gameplay But yeah unfortunately that's how a lot of anime-style games lure half of the teen population to play
Can't wait for the update to drop, mostly because the game is pretty much unplayably boring at this point. Whenever I regen, I end up watching my iPad for about 45 minutes, waiting to get back to a level where I actually need to do something, except invariably I get bored and walk away. Then I come back to see a Continue in... screen, which means even if I wanted to play, I couldn't. So I do this a couple more times to get up into the 40s (which is where I am right now), and get a couple tries to progress further. Or I can just regen and waste another hour of iPad time. Given how slow the rate of token generation is, I cannot understand how anyone could possibly purchase enough level skips to make a difference, unless you guys are just feeding cash into this game.
The "retroactive bonus" will be that we're giving players a few free perks based on their current progress. All updating players will get at least 1 free perk, and then another free perk per 10 levels, up to a max of 5 free perks (ie, players on level 50+ will get 5 free perks). The Level Skip store item has been reworked to scale up based on your current progress. It will now skip 20% of your best level per Token (ie, at level 50 you're skipping 10 levels per token). Basically although we haven't increased the rate you get tokens, we've increased the value of the stuff you get with your Tokens by a ton. Head Start should be a heck of a lot more feasible to actually invest in now, and the with Perk scaling you should continue to see huge benefits from new perks no matter where you are at in the game.
I've spent $25 and I have my level skip pretty high plus all of the permanent perks plus a ton of c3 perks for this generation. If you play right you can earn a ton of tokens everyday. I earn about 15 a day. Billy
Ok, really worked hard to get this update right - been listening to feedback from all avenues to hopefully nail most major issues from early to late game! We'll obviously keep working to get things perfect, but as it stands we'll be submitting the update tomorrow. Final change-log: -Added new Hero units! Heroes have unique abilities and powerful specials to help dominate the battlefield in different ways! -Added a store item to remove Ads (and instantly skip video ads) -Newly generated Perks now scale significantly based on you current Best Level -Lesser tier units now get bigger bonuses from perks to help scale them better -Increased the damage of all primary weapons (MG, sniper, howitzer) -The “skip” store item now skips significantly more levels per Token, based on your current progress -Mineral Orb value now scales for a much lower cost, making them more viable late game -New “Quick Buy” rollout to allow you to buy upgrades in the 10s or 100s at once -Money cap while away is now based on your best Level instead of your current Level, generally increasing away money for all players -Will no longer generate perks for units/weapons you haven’t unlocked yet -Decreased required level to go to next generation -Continuing now requires watching a video ad instead of using a Token if you have been defeated and can’t go to the Next Generation -Enemies with heavy weapons are now marked with a red exclamation -Rebalanced enemy ranged damage (less one-shot kills) -Increased tracer fire speed (less support units missing) -Fixed a bug with the 2x Damage store item - players who purchased this item should see a HUGE increase in power -Fixed a bug with Mortar AOE perk not applying -Fixed a range display bug on Support Tortoise -Fixed a bug with money values in the billions -Lots more fixes and tweaks
that's one hell of a first update! you guys continue to impress! Thanks again for being so active and trying to stomp out as many frustrations as you can in a timely fashion!
I see my post went unoticed. # Anyone else having lag problem? Specially during later levels around 70 up to 110 and beyond. When theres lots of enemies and things going on it's barely unplayable. Î'm on iphone 5c, 2 gig free space and graphics on the lowest setting. Thanks! Amazing game by the way!
Will it scale automaticaly or will it be fixed based on your best level you nad in the time of purchase? I am so glad to see mortar rack aoe perk fixed, I have a pretty high value here, I thought it was just a display bug
I fight atleast two bosses a day. Then I get some goals. Then I've been getting some when I log in so far I've kept a reserve of 20 tokens and everyday I'm using one instant x3 perk. Everyday. So that's why I said I make 15. I get to 35 tokens and hit the instant perk button. EDIT- ok for instance I just logged in for the first time today. I got 300k and 1 token from watching the ad. Then I used the ad to get the free perk for the next gen that was due. On the screen the button to call in a level 400 boss was available. I got 4 tokens from that. And then I played for about 20 minutes and actually just beat level 400 and got 2 tokens from that. This is just the start of the day. This just happened. If you play, the tokens can be earned. I'm now at 27 tokens. When I get to 35 I go to the store and do the instant x3 perk for 15 coins. I do this about once a day. I'm pushing it to see how far I can go. Plus with the upcoming update I want as many bonuses as possible. Billy
Dude, That's an awesome freaken first update change log. I can't believe you've gotten all of that in there so fast. I can't wait for these changes. You've definitely earned more money for sure. I'm absolutely buying the no ads and whatever hero auto collects minerals so that I can concentrate on actually fighting. Plus you are beefing up the machine gun? That's so kick ass! I can't wait! You guys are awesome! I have a question. Has anyone reported any issue with the permanent double perk token purchase? It says active but after all this time I just realized I never get 2 choices. Only 1. Billy
