The 1.2M barrier... Whoah! (in General)


ThunderHyde July 16 2016 2:32 PM EDT

It was like hitting that nitro button in Mad Max as I was racing up the rankings. I could hit targets with a score over 1.1M with a MPR of 200K.

Until...

I hit a gigantic mud whole when I started having to pick targets with a score of 1.2M or higher to get 100% challenge bonus. LOL!

Almost no one with a score over 1.2M has a MPR under 850K. Those that do still have MPRs way over 700K and they have have those scores because their strats are bullet proof against characters with lower MPR. Well, at the very least they are all bullet proof against me. LOL!

I guess I just have to be patient until my MPR rises a bit so I can challenging them.

I love this game!

Theres a huge dead zone for bonuses after roughly 900k mpr. I managed to keep a positive challenge bonus all the way to that point, then the scores just start falling through the floor. I got lucky that there were a few active players to help get me where I am now, but my fight list doesn't have a single positive challenge bonus at this point. Every time a NUB is made, it gets harder on the next guy to catch up lol. I wish I would have known just how important the NUB was when I started, I wouldn't have made 2 characters. Its weird that the bonus pretty much forces you to play one character or you wont get close to the top ranks. I mean, what kind of new player doesn't want to try out multiple strategies before settling? it sucks that the system pretty much punishes you for it.

Indeed, maybe the solution would be not to activate the NUB right away. You let new players know that the NUB gets be activated once they reach the 2nd or 3rd realm realm so they could prepare for that moment adequately.

Until that moments, you encourage them to rent stuff so they can try it out and get prepared for the NUB activation.

... of course, the NUB XP bonus should only apply to one character while leaving extra BA free during the NUB.

The BA activation would not be optional or conditional. It would be set to activate on the day of the next user login after the trigger time. The user would then have something like 24 hours to create the NUB character.

damn dude, that's actually a REALLY good idea. You should add that to the list of new changes we want lol
