When I first started the gigashadow package for xerj (the highest badge or w.e to buy hydarians) was $50 now it's something like $700. The prices go up every month consistently and have been for 4 or 5 years.... Everything they do in this game is to get more money from the big spenders. It's like those cell phone games... they profit off the few big spenders rather than masses of small players. Everything they do is to get spenders to spend. TBH it works out well for them since they wouldn't be able to handle the server load of having a good game for all people who play it.

So with these changes they target the big spenders who have invested so much time and money that they probably won't quit after the almost monthly terrible changes, and causes the smaller players who don't spend money anyway to quit, freeing up server space to maybe catch another big fish.... It's just the way it is lol.... gotta just except it. I'm one of those who have just simply invested too much TIME in this game.... I got some generals from the premium page from when you could buy them for 14 hydarians than 28 then 56 and so on... now they're 100 then 200 then 600 then 2398467238 so I stopped putting money in this game A LOOONNNGGG time ago.... Even caught some crap for it but that's another story.... The point is... just play the game, stay away from very large players, build slowly and try and set goals as you would in any game.

TBH I don't even mind this new expedition change.... it really changes nothing for me as I send my fleet on long journey's to hide them since it costs like 20x less gas to do it that way than to send on expedition (sure you can't recall your fleet on a moments notice this way but there really isn't much need to do so for me personally). Now that I've written that here though, I'm sure they'll try and think of a way to prevent that as well.... But yeah they'd have to increase the speed of some ships whicch they won't do, or just make journey's 20x more expensive which they won't do.... so..... I'm sayin it ;D

Every change they make leads to people abandoning their accounts.... It's possible that it is even intentional. They aren't going to lose the whales, who will just spend more money, and they will lose the smaller players which maybe help with server load. The goal should be to expand but the few people who spend REALLY BIG is better for them I guess...

Here's a change they could make that wouldn't change anything in the game practically, but still be a welcome change.

Fix the dunkleosteus engine fires on all the dunk past level 1...

That link you sent didn't work, but I did end up finding it. I can't believe I didn't know you could click that "1st level costs" sentence to open the list like that...... I been playing this game for over 6.5 years and I never knew that LOL

The evolution chamber? You said "this thing in info-panel".
I guess... what is an info-panel? I opened my evolution chamber and I don't see anything showing a cost table....



Where exactly am I supposed to be looking?

Where do you find the cost tables?

"For xerj the technology will become unavailable, with 50% of its old total cost compensated."

So then my compensation is DEFINITELY glitched. I had colonization tech level 8 and the compensation I'm getting is nowhere NEAR 50%

This is nowhere NEAR 50% of what I spent on 8 levels of colonization tech for xerj.

OH I see it now.....

So..... What is it? What does it have to do with this thread?

The description says it's a flagship that carries the population, and it's so large that whales inhabit puddles on the thing....... Then there is a video attached of a whale swimming.... Why are we talking about it here?

What the hell is a Losif?

Just because someone doesn't have crazy amount of points doesn't mean they're a beginner....

Also... This account was @ 1.2m points a few months ago, but for whatever reason they decided to nerf everyones points not long ago....

Is there an explanation as to WHY this is happening? Like... Is it just a big F you to the players or is there some legitimate reasoning behind this other than making it so it's more difficult for us to produce resources just for the sake of trying to obligate people to spend more money? I gotta say, that's certainly what it feels like. What were the last few changes? Making pirates more scarce to make it harder to get resources.... and before that.... Make pirates harder 2x harder to kill so it's harder to get resources..... and before that... increase vespene cost for fleet missions.... Let's not forget the change making minerals worth more than vespene.... That one was, AT LEAST, something that really effected the Toss players more than anyone... you know... the players more likely to spend more money....

Why change it for everyone that's the real rub here.... I've been playing this game for over 6 years now, you'd think someone like me would get grandfathered in.... It seems to me they desparately want to push out the people who try to play without paying money, but why screw the people who have been with the project for years even further than they do every time they make a change? I mean, we spent a lot of time building up our accounts just to have them slashed in half because of a game change. Every time I accomplish something in this game there is a change that negates the accompishment.

Anyway, maybe I'm just pessimistic.... maybe the reason is to lighten the server load for benign reasons, or there is some other fairness factor we're missing..... An explanation as to why they're doing this would probably go a long way.... Unless of course my "pessimism" is just "realism" then I suppose an explanation would make things worse. So, in that case, not getting an explanation is an explanation in and of itself.

So there will be some kind of prompt a week before this change that will open up a menu so we can choose which planets to decolonize? Is this correct? And as Xerj I will get 50% of the resources I spent on colonization tech levels back? Which planet will those resources go to?

And if I don't decolonize... Which planets will get auto deleted?

And LOL @ the vote thing.... Clearly they do everything to milk the whales. Every change they have ever made has made the game worse for the smaller players and simply more expensive for the players who will spend the extra money ANYWAY. So unless you get those whales to put their foot down, good luck on any petition....

When this post says "Regeneration no longer restores armour during battle. It now "heals" some of the damage when damage is dealt to armour, reducing incoming damage by 1.5% per level" that is a direct contradiction....

How can "no longer restore" and "but heals" be said in the same without being a direct contradiction. Is it just that regeneration no longer restores armor, it just reduces damage to armor?

Then, how does ""Healing" does not affect mass attacks or shots that kill a unit." make sense, this is also contradictory..... So If it's true that the change means that regeneration only adds 1.5% damage reduction per level but does NOT effect the kill the shot, how/when is that calculated?

If I have 100 more armor, and 20% regeneration protection, and an attack deals 80 damage... do I die? According to this post, the answer is yes..... Which makes no sense.

Can someone read the rule in the Russian forum maybe, and write it here again so it makes sense please?

Every single change the admins make to this game make it worse. What is wrong with you people?

I can literally list a TON of changes I remember being made to this game and NOT ONE is good for the player...

"It is now impossible to hide an object without special stealth ability in local coordinates" Ok that's dumb, but you didn't tell us how to obtain the "special stealth ability".

This is yet another ridiculously bad change to the game. It's one bad decision after another. Every year we face multiple bad decisions that make this game more unbearable and bad.

Will they ever make a change that is good?

I've seen this kind of thing first hand and have been affected by it myself with absolutely no doubt what-so-ever about whether it's ACTUALLY happened or not.

This game is the most greedy underhanded game I've ever had the displeasure of getting so far into I can't quit.
First of all I can't understand the English 90% of the time....
I was ripped off by this game and when I asked for what I should get I was ignored until the price of what I could've gotten went up by 300%.
 
Admins have given information about my account to other players.
 
Since I've started playign the prices have gone up as far as 500%.
 
If you pay money into this game you're an idiot and you contribute to the problem.
So many people are quitting their answer is to charge more money from the people who are dumb enough to spend it in order to make up for their player loss it's a terrible business decision and a piece sh*t decision for the people who have been playing.
If I hadn't stopped giving any money to these greedy f**ks a year ago for the same type of underhanded greedy tactics i'd be doing it now, and I encourage anyone who reads this to do the same.
 
 
If this message gets deleted then it just proves my point even further.
 
There has not been ONE SINGLE CHANGE that the "players will LIKE" that I've ever seen. And sine i've been playing (for about a year) there have been so many chnages I can't count, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has been designed to get ppl to pay more money.
 
It's disgusting.

The beastiary covers this. Yu cant' trade achievements but you can unlock the achievement get the corresponding fleet and sell it in the beastiary.

What does this mean?
 
Your expedition found some fleet in perfect operating state. Unfortunately, no one in your fleet was able to control those units.
 
!? I had enough fleet slots to send more attacks so IDK what else it could mean.... Do i have to send specific troops on an expedition or something? Why does this game have no info!?
 
 
 
 
 
 
EDIT: Never mind I figured it out. it means that the fleet troops that I found I could've taken back, however they need to match the troops I sent.
 
So if you send 10 battlecruisers....... and you find a bunch of steal fighters, then you won't get them, but if you find battlecruisers you will.
 
I assume this is to avoid the complication of making an algorithm that makes it so you only find level specific ships.
 
This way if you send a bunch of fighters you won't bring home a bunch of deathstars xD
 
 
 
This is the answer, unless this is incorrect this post can be closed. Thanks to no one to answered :P

What are all the differences between a capital planet and a normal planet?

I have been asking questions in the question tab for days and have yet to get a single response..... I play another similar browser game (not space related) and when i ask a question to support the longest they take to respond is 13 hours.....
 
Considering that the information on this game is severely lacking, as well as the information that IS out on the game that is in English is poorly translated and sometimes completely impossible to understand, you'd think after 5 days I'd get a response on specific questions in which there is no answer anywhere else.
 
Am I really to be forced to go to the forum every time i need a question answered?
