Well, like I said, all dissent was being shut out on Discord, so if I have to be a little more abrasive here to vent, then so be it.

And if I have to deal with the same amount of stupidity as I did on Discord, then that's not going to help matters either.

Only one person bothered to discuss the points I made about "Dendrobium master race", and Taon admitted as much that he doesn't have an alternate solution, so at best he's appealing to emotion and doesn't have an actual counterargument.

Okay, I know I said I was done beating the horse here, but me saying "I don't have an ideal solution" isn't an appeal to emotion; it's saying, literally, "I don't have an ideal solution".

But is that the same thing as not having a counterargument? No; in fact I made the counterargument, I just didn't have a specific method in mind when I mentioned tweaking the TP calculations.

I don't work for Nutaku; it isn't my job to find specific solutions. At the same time, I don't have to find the solution to know that one exists; it's not like FKG is quantum physics or curing world-wide illiteracy. But I do know the solution cannot be to launch an emotional crusade against the perceived evil, money-grubbing company.

And now I really am done with this.

If you don't have an actual solution to the TP calculation, it's the same thing as not having a solution at all.

This isn't a difficult concept.

Meh, it's only TP ranking. Might as well have been a "Who gifted most Regular Books" ranking. That's how little TP actually means. If I'd used my manyus and ampies differently, I could've gotten my TP well over 450k, possibly even close to 500k. But, it's "only" 430k, yet I know my team's way more effective than it would've been if I had gone for the maximum TP.

When my Counter Squad was just taking shape, with 3 gold and one rainbow counter girl, some of them not even at lvl 70, and only 2 of them with all equipment slots unlocked, that squad already did more damage than some of those "High TP All Rainbow" helpers I had. If people like to brag about being a moron, then I'm not stopping them. I'll just ignore them, or pester them about their lousy squads that need to be carried.

I'm neutral on the issue. Just having fun. Seeing people you know on your list.

oh yeah, I want to see if they implement a feature that let you see how many waifus that guy has. That would be fun

If it's new features we want to talk about, I'd like to ask why this ranking system came before multiple secretaries or secretary emotes. You know, stuff that actually emphasizes the waifus that this game should be all about.

At least these events have been giving us more garden stuff. Hopefully it won't be long until we start getting the pots and pest things.

pretty much my thoughts, I would only check the old ranking list when I just wanted to see how strong (generally) my friends where and how well I can support the ones lower on my list, in the end though i couldn't care less about rankings.

But come on, these games die. XOverd was a different game with a different set of circumstances. It's silly to point at it and go, "But XOverd closed." XOverd isn't FKG. It's like being good at soccer, seeing your buddy kicked off the team when he's garbage at the sport, and then worrying yourself sick that you'll be next. Eventually that stress is going to boil over and manifest, like it did this morning..

Putting your hand over your ears and pretending doesn't make your argument any valid.

....

As an aside, no one has pointed out the real reason why Nutaku is killing this game.



Seriously, if spelling is so hard, that alone is sufficient reason why this game is going into the toilet.

....until we know WHAT is happening WHAT are we doing?

It could be they saw lots of people saying they wanted it back so though 'OK we'll bring it back, and add some pointless freebies - they'll like that more' followed by torches and pitchforks and much scratching of heads.

We know very little, I'm still confused how we're linking this to DOOOOOOOM - by all means a few 'well lets hope they don't make this so powerful it becomes the game' I can see some of the fear as they could think that power = money and could push this but I'd hope they're smart enough to know the backlash and will just throw some fun shines and maybe a few 'milestones' like 2,3,400k that give something nice

If you mean 'strenght' Mindrunner already made fun of it to death already. And not just FKG, Nutaku more or less screwed up with most translation and spelling anyway.

Well Guess I'll throw my 2 cents on TP ranking as well.

TP, or I prefer to call power level, is pretty much a gross way to indicate
how strong your team is. But I think synergism is more important. Passive skill that works well together can easily outdamage team with high power level only. So in short... power levels are Bullsh*t! 😆 And I don't care about it too much unless I fall too far behind my allies. Which is not, yet. it's not like you need to fight super strong pest that take 2-3 digits of damage unless you hit with solar blast, to get bloomed materials anyway.

About rewards from global ranking, again I don't mind whales get something better. Like loads of FG, couples of dress/skillblooms, 5*tickets or somerhing like that. They keep the game alive, so they deserved something good. It will be a real problem though, if the rewards are exclusive, something you will never have a second chance to get if you not whale now, and continue to do so on the future. Or like previous post several pages back then said, difficulty got ramped up to fitting whale environment. If they do this, this game can begin its countdown to destruction.
