Yummy goodness.

These machanics are great in theory but the "bug sqishing" in the form of actual long term execution stopped before it was polished. For instance, here are some ideas that could have polished these mechanics in various implementation.

There should be 9 more "homeworlds" and 9 more "Mirrors" to support an active playebase. There should be a limit on the amount of squads allowed acrossed all battlefields. Be that through manual moderation or a "battlefield registration page" for instance were you register 10 squads for battlefield use and that is all that is allowed acroiss all battlefields. Adjustable but you get the idea.

The hoarding exploit of using the Market as a storing facility to bypass the warehouse and resource limits is a key factor in exploiters benefiting from the battlefield/squad exploit. Her "game play" now consists of 99% logging in every 30 days to relist 10 years worth of exploited reasources. (what kind of life do they have, i mean seriously LMAO, theres no one to sell it to and nothing left to build...I mean, just WTF lol.).

The "fixes" and "Adjustments" are pretty elemntary and have various ways of being implemented, raning from manual moderation to actual recoding and various spots in between. Until or unless that occurs, there's nothing left but groups of players to self moderate and assist each other in positive goals for the game as it is.

My answer to the lolo issue, if you don't sincerely need the resources, and they sincerely do let them have it for awhile then.Same goes for anyone, anytime. Also, I agree, the Send Message button is there for a reason. No question can ever be answered if it is never asked.

Well, they've been here since 2014, if they've returned or only now discovered that world 1 has been freed, or liberated or whatever, for halfway decent fair play, I know for a fact none of us have our "send message" buttons turned off. Nor is this club exclusive and is open to any legit players who agree with the goals and care for the game

Sorry for intruding, but who are you all talking about? I, personally would love to know so I could be careful in the future. I have just started taking an interest in the battlefield, and would love to know about this...problem. I would prefer a PM so that way it isn't werid i guess.

Lol, it feels like everything is just based on "ifs" and prayers. I disagree with the idea of having 20 mainland/mirror battlefields tho. The battlefield is just for a small supplement of vermillion, an extra  boost. Relying too much on the vermillion from the battlefield is inefficient and only enough to uncover one pet's genes a day. That's why the explore tab is there, to supply most of the verm that you use

The problem with having 20 battlefields is that players would log on, use their vermillion they got, and then log off. I doubt most players would be as commited as yall and they probably wouldn't put in so much effort to create perfect breeding stock and fix the game, they're just here to play. imo, removing the battlefield could solve a lot of things, it wasn't every thought-out in the first place. 

Good work @BobbyMcGee on kicking off that exploiter on the battlefield. No way are they reclaiming the battlefield again, not without resistence. Soon, their "Mirror Kingdom" will be reclaimed by the true players of Beastkeeper, and balance will be restored. DOWN WITH THE EXPLOITER!!!

Except your theory has already played out. Your suggestion here was already done for you and did not achieve the results you indicate you believe it would,. You see, For approx 4 years the "Battlefield" part of the game was totally disabled for all but 2-3 exploiters. So in essance 100%, there WAS NO BATTLEFIELD part of this game for those years. The only people who did as you said, "log in and use the little verm and log out" was the 2-3 exploiters. As far as the BF itself, there is more to it than just that (except for the unopposed exploiters mentioned), it is the fun of making squads and playing the silly casino rolls of the Battlefield one arm bandit as well. BUT regardless, your theory WAS the game for 4+ years and achieved nothing,  so that plan has already been tried...and failed..  

What did having the game as you suggest produce?  98% of the playerbase quit, that is what it produced. So since the battlefield was ALREADY "Removed" from this game for 4+ years to no success for the game. You say having "20 battlefields " would just produce some players who log in and play around for a small time and log out". I say there would at least be more reason for more people to log in AT ALL. Which would be at least more hopeful than it was.  No harm in trying a different idea or direction, because yours most certainly failed, as it was done already, repeat, the battlefield WAS removed from the game for over 4 years. It didn't help lol. 

This is true in essence. There really was no battlefield for all those years. If removing that whole part of the game was going to do anything postive it had 4 years at the least to prove that theory. It did not. Seeing exploiters have free reign actually harmed the game as is obvious in the results. So I don't think that makes any sense to suggest since it was already done and for a very long time at that. And even now there's only half of one..lol

Morning everyone. 

My name is Jamie, I have chosen Lykos as my main species project. So I'm the wolf girl of the club. Projects include an Ice Spike line, a Beserker Line and the Ice Aura line. Genetics seem to be limtied in the game, with each species seemingly having a specific DNA line-up perfected and the other "best" genes ignored. Hoping to remedy that with a bit more diversity.within the parameters of perfection. Takes a lot of the "red stuff" however and can be quite tedious due to that. But still very fun. 

 

Thanks Jamie for the invite, it is a cool place, thanks for the assistance and the work-arounds for the current situation. Glad to be part of the group , game and mission.
