Devlog [KAG] Build 1591 - Maps and Bombs!

i read it differently as a shot towards people who thought the game should be played correctly (ie people who do not want you to change mechanics to help players who dont bother to learn the mechanics before they use them) hopefully you can see my confusion then.

 

I dont believe constructive criticism would come through to geti. I understand that ranting doesnt do much good either but atleast its good for venting out the frustration his weird decisions bring me. And I honestly believe he should use some more sense:
Geti, dont make these half assed test builds, test that shit out properly before you release it! Alpha is over mate and we arent testers we wanna play a game that has its core mechanics in order and doesnt keep balancing back and forth the whole time. IF KAG IS STILL BETA ATLEAST SELL IT AS BETA AND DONT MISLEAD PEOPLE INTO THINKING YOURE SELLING A GAME THAT IS DONE(money scam?). Thats pretty much what I mean with common sense. And I hope that this was constructive enough so that geti doesnt discard it as a mindless rant.

 

The old trap block excels at keeping traps teamsafe from the movement impaired
I also appreciate all work you've done on kag geti

 

Hello I am too lazy to check but does adding fakespin.as to spikes fuck them up? Or does it just make it look like a spinning ball of death? I've been trying to imagine it in my head and each time I imagine good things. Is my imagination wrong? Is a spinning spike when dropped a good thing? This is my philisophical dilemma. I no longer understand reality. Two weeks later I no longer eat food. Just water and the burning question of spinning spikes. I also have heart burn and the burning sensation of my heart is intensified by the burning desire in my eyes to see a spinning flying spike of death launched from a tramp cannon. Also Geti I got top of the score board with spike tramp sniper kills on KAG captains. I think it's the first time I had positive k/d since classic. If anyone else in the usual mumble crew tells you to nerf tramps you need remember this. It's too much work and they'll forget about it in a week or so, so it's not worth you doing anything about it. It also brings me enjoyment and happiness and helps me remember that my heartburn isn't a burning philisophical desire but probably from the steak I ate on Friday. I want more steak... But the heartburn... These are the questions out youth must ask themselves. Steak and heartburn? Or no steak and depression?

 

wow Faas chill a bit man, you don't need to be aggressive that much...

Geti is best customer service representative. He speaks Aussie English, and doesn't sound like he is from India. He also doesn't get mad at me, like this one time I was talking to customer service for Banana Republic and it was this Indian guy. His accent was so thick that when I was trying to open up a store card of some shit I made him upset because my income was something I didn't want to discuss on the phone. He got pissed and apparently wanted to talk to the employee at the store. Lesson learned Indian Customer Service Representatives are weird and Geti understands and speaks Aussie English. He also doesn't get mad when you make fun of him and tell him racist jokes about Kiwis. If I was the customer service rep of Kag I'd tell you, "we will look into it sir and your views are being heard." Then I would promptly write five variations of that put it into Microsoft word to save for whenever someone got mad. Then I would go about my day wondering if I should risk heartburn for a steak.

 

Fellere off his meds again

 

I thing that I more than plenty have gotten the value outta this game for sure, and kag is definitely worth 10 bucks how it stands now. But still you are selling it as something that it is not; a finished product. Thats the scam i am talking about.

Kag is probably my favorite game I have and my real problem with it is that it keeps changing and changing and it doesnt allow me to settle in(seriously why didnt you guys finish the balancing before you went to full game?). After all this time it still frustrates tons of people with its unbalanced and undone crap, and it doesnt reward getting good at it(you can be a great knight and still get stabbed to death in a second by some lagging newb. or your bombs get stuck to your damn hand when you wanna toss it back(fix that already!)). And classes are unbalanced(If your team doesnt have a good builder you simply lost the game already and archers are just there to annoy the living crap outta everyone, they dont even really contribute to the team).

Baseline is that im just speaking for myself here. these are the problems that i have with kag as a knight. I can simply say that kag used to be way more fun for me, and when you buy a full game you expect the game to stay as much fun as when you bought it. Maybe im so aggrevated on the forum the whole time because i dont even wanna post all this crap. I just wanna play my damn kag the way I enjoy it, not that everything I like keeps getting taken away from me.

Heres a simple comparison to whats happening, geti. You gave out sweet candy and now youre grabbing it back. And people get mad when you steal their candy.

 

More like he gave you cherry sourball but changed the flavor to raspberry, most people like both or the latter, but you prefer cherry. He didn't take your candy at all, it's still here.

 

You're right about this.

Team-based game :)

I know some archers that are like a one-man army, I agree that archers are annoying for me too (since I'm used to play mostly knight), but on the other hand sometimes you can't win without their assist (water arrows help? bomb arrows opening a gate for you? arrow ladder? ... ).

 

can we nerf bombarrows now? why should i take damage when i get hit by one while shielding?

 

I think it would be good to increase again the ranks of the bomb of a tile.
I agreed to a nerve of the bomb but not as much :p

 

You're doing it wrong, then. I've seen lots of knights succesfully block bomb arrows. Even saw someone jump off a tower to block one, and use the blast to launch himself over their tower, without taking damage.

 

wth, i always take a part of damage if i block a bomb arrow

 

Geti has been more than accommodating to this community... That's why I was confident in the generous donation I made earlier this year. I've never seen developers with more passion, patience, and care than the THD devs. Instead of focusing on the few bugs and downsides to kag, we need to remind ourselves the beauty of the game in the first place. Think about it... Would you even bother posting on these forums if you didn't care about kag in the first place? They made a quality game that I've spent thousands of hours playing... Not many games have done that. I don't see a problem with giving suggestions and ideas, but please be mindful of the hard work the devs have put in before complaining and criticizing their work.

 

I've been surprisingly enjoying the bomb nerf lately though it also significantly decreases the chance of you getting a full propulsion from a single bomb jump. Yes, you can successfully get a proper full-on, erect bomb jump by dropping a lit bomb and by jumping over it, however, I find it hard to doing a bomb jump whilst mid-air or by quickly letting go of it due to unstable ping and my latency in and around while playing the game resulting from flaccid to semi-flaccid propulsion (it used to be semi-flaccid to mildly full-on with the previous bomb). So I either have to release the bomb prematurely to get a mediocre bomb jump or I'll risk blowing myself up with it. I guess it's just me since I've always had an unstable ping but I will keep trying to get it up to what it should be at the very least.

Thanks again, Geti for the update!
