Thread: Fap CEO

I think there were two real nerfs.

The first was the adjustment to minimum level required to sell your company, which made it near impossible for people in the lower ranks to progress. This one was fixed, I believe, by raising the cap where this adjustment took effect.

The second was the lowered ruby payout for placement in tournaments. Even could I place at the top (which I absolutely cannot, and I'm upgrading my chairs to 50 right now), I would receive less than I did pre-patch. I didn't jot down the numbers, but I feel that I'm getting more keys instead, which COULD translate to the same amount of rubies, depending on luck. I'm guessing the idea is that more keys translate to more scrap for chairs, which could be good if you haven't been playing since the start. I don't know, first thing I did was convert 6M scrap.

The company level thing didn't really hit my screen since I can reach 10K levels in seconds, but it sounds like a slip that they corrected for new players. Mistakes happens, I wouldn't call that a nerf.

I see your point on rubies, but I can't work up any irritation about it. Most of the Nutaku games have a premium resource tied to real-world money, rubies in the case of this game. Even with the reduction of rubies for mid-level players, FapCEO still gives out a lot more of it's paid resource than any other game I've dinked around with.

I think we should also consider how much faster it is to make progress, now. When I started playing there was no such thing as gains week, which introduced big new bonuses but didn't reduce payouts. A couple months ago they reworked the skills, giving you greater potential for bonuses there without reducing payouts. Now they've added another big new bonus with chair upgrades, and reduced your tournament gem haul while giving you more keys (which fuel chair upgrades).

Is that a nerf? Is it a rebalancing? I dunno which word is most appropriate in this case, but either way the change doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
