hello,
im just wondering if we can get the forest fight accumulated day after day.
Like if you dont use up all your forest fight today, the ff will accumulate to the next day. :lol:
Since im getting only between 10 and 20 forest fights a day, which is too little.
I have seen some people saying that they have 50 or 60 ff a day. :)

Additional forest fights, like additional attack or defense, are something that the more advanced players have accumulated by playing the game for a long time - i.e. from multiple dks or via their higher level mounts.

We have considered allowing players to "carryover" unused fights (within limits), but the coders are busy on other things at the moment.

Actually, I don't support the idea of FF carryover. It seems to me that it's natural to reset that along with HP and "sobering up" - after all, leaving work 4 hours early doesn't make working 12 hours the next day any easier...

its the thing that i m at level 14 now, and everytime i log in, i got beaten up and lost some amount of my experience, and from only a few forest fights, i cant reach the experience level required to go to level 15.

hopefully there will be some ff carryon to the next day, (within some limits will be fine)

Are you logging on more than once per game day? If not you should be able to more than make up for getting killed...

So you're saying you want to accumulate 5 days worth of turns and spend them in one day so that you only get slaim once instead of the 5 times you would? That sounds cheap to me.

I have been trapped at level 14 for months now, but i still don't think that it'd be fair. But you should only carry over the forest fights left over from days when you log in. Otherwise i could wait for a week, log in, and then have 100 forest fights to spend in one day. Plus people at higher levels would have even more advantages. They just wait a week and they don't have to worry about running out of forest fights almost at all. The wait, log in, and have 300 forest fights waiting there for them. But overall i'm against it.

I don't see how somebody can be stuck at level 14 for so long. If you are only killed once and thrillseek (pretty easy at that level) and PvP some then there really isn't any reason to be stuck there.

no, i mean just to accumulate the ff u didnt use up the previous day.
And i only log in once a day.

And to PvP, i always lose :cry:

Assuming you've maxed out weapons/armor by this level (if not, this may explain that), Acemaster's tactics of thrillseeking works well. Heal after every fight. And fight round-by-round if you have to. Lose as little as possible. PvP is a huge gamble, and normally not worth it at lower DK levels. Maybe you can find a better way to spend your unspent PvPs.

If you follow this and only log in once per game day, you should progress quite quickly. Good luck.

And for the actual topic. I don't understand why you would want to have rollover. I guess that if you have to leave halfway through the day, yes, it could be beneficial. But people who would want to log in for 10 straight days to accumulate FFs doesn't make sense to me. You're going to lengthen your DK time just the same.

well, looks like everyone is against the idea.
:lol:
Anyway, i have advanced to lv 15, and had my 1st dk.

I just don't see how that can happen unless you're logging in multiple times each game day. You can only be killed in PvP once each time you log in, and you only lose 5% of XP. If you have maximum weapon and armor and heal completely after every fight it should only be a matter of days from 14 to 15, even if you're a Farmie.

Any you guys ever played Earth 2025 on Swirve? They have a feature where you gain a few extra turns by delaying logging in, which helps server load.

So if you were to wait a few hours after turn of new day, you may gain a benefit by not weighing down the server because 500 people are all playing at the same time at 10:00am MT.

The other thing is advertising. A small advert that you pick up say 2 turns for clicking it. Of course lotgd would get the clickthrough commissions which may help in continuing to bring in funds to perhaps upgrade servers, pay staff, etc.

I do realize that we are pretty much advertising free now and rely on donations, but just another idea.

And I do know that there are benefits turn-wise when donating. You'll know that I donate quite well...

Just some ideas.

Just a quick side note: I do do all those things, and i still am stuck. Why? I just have awful luck. Lately, many of the times that i have a large successful run, and i get a pile of forest fights, then when i travel to Degolburg, i am swamped by 5 waylaying attacks in a row, and i die because i don't have any good powers left because i used them up in scrapes earlier on. And i want to go to Degolburg because i still have days where i'm not killed in the inn if i come back the next game day. I also keep trying the side quest, and i keep not meeting the creature, and i'm forced to use up my powers to defeat it so i have none left to try again on the side quest. But thanks for the advice, i'll keep it in mind.

Survival may depend on running, don't try to be brave.
