Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

tass sorry but I voted according to what I would have voted for the level. I'm not going to help anyone cheat in contests. IMO they aren't very well done...

Oh wow. Can you believe some people in the kongregate forums...

My understanding is that the rankings are set up so that an average player will plateau around Skill Rank 35. To plateau before Rank 20, you would have to really, really suck. (I’m guessing that the people describing the badge as hard just haven’t found an adequate strategy yet.)
That said, while it doesn’t require much skill, the “Reach Skill Level 20” badge is fairly long. It requires something like 30 wins, plus 1 more win for every 2 losses. We’re talking maybe five or six hours of gameplay, not counting however long it takes you to figure out what all the buttons do.
I’d be in favor of adding a second hard badge for winning 100 ranked matches or something along those lines. (Something for which it isn’t possible to lose progress, since that’s what makes the “Playing to Win” badge discouraging for some people.) The two hard badges combined would be a split impossible comparable in difficulty to the GemCraft split impossible.

I want to KILL him. Seriously.

27000 is possible -- I messed up in a few spots. Otherwise it's pretty damn near optimal.

Jon can get 1.7 on 1, I think, and 2.4 on 6. I got 3.2 on 5.

, but your score is ridiculous nonetheless.

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

Not even attempting Meat Boy impossible. I barely even got the hard. Badges seem to be uber lame as of late.

Re: The Kongregate Brag Thread!

Some of these badges lately are *hard*. Meat Boy is going to take me a while. Kongai is still kicking my ass, but I noticed something:

If it's taking you a while to find an opponent, cancel!

My theory is that it tries to pair you up with someone of comparable level, and when this happens, it happens fast. If it's taking a while, it's because it can't find any open players around your level, so it starts to branch out. If you're of high level without others around of comparable level, you're more likely to end up fighting someone of lower level than of higher level (either because the higher level guys aren't playing any more because they have the badge, or because, simply, there are more lower-level people).

Therefore, you wind up fighting some lower-level dude, with huge point-loss risk. Beating lower-level guys gives you squat for points, and losing is a huge setback. It's the main reason why I've been throttling back and forth. I end up losing to really good Level 11's, etc, and it murders any previous victories I had recently.

Losing to someone of your own level isn't so bad, but beating them gives a nice +100 reward. I can't believe I didn't notice this "time difference" issue sooner. Hopefully I'll stop getting stuck in this 2100-2300 range.

If it takes more than 5 seconds to find an opponent, I'm just going to cancel. I'll let you guys know if this helps or not.

EDIT: Yep, this is definitely the case. Unfortunately I just lost to two 17's anyway. Sigh.
