You did it to yourselves - why the LTQ is so much harder

I'll say it again, the increase in this had absolutely nothing to do with pre-staging. If Gree didn't want players to be able to take that advantage, the solution would be simple. Just repeat missions several times like they did in a couple LTQ's already. It minimizes the benefits of pre-staging your missions. Or do 25 one-hit missions instead of 5, five-hit missions. There are options that make much more sense then "oh, just double the energy requirement".

This has everything to do with the fact that the LTQ's were completely unbalanced with the rest of the game. Selfishly, I'd love to see them like they were because you could get enormous stat increases for, relatively speaking, minimal expense. Couple this with the easy awarding of the +2 energy boost last event, and the problem was magnified even greater. Enormous stat gains from indestructible units for hardly any "cost". If it seems too good to be true... what? It probably is!

I've been wrong many times before, but I would expect that we'll see another adjustment to the LTQ's soon. They'll keep the mission count down from the earlier events, increase the energy requirements for each missions (as compared to early events), but keep the total energy requirement around for the event around 115-135k energy.

I doubt you'll ever see a 25k raw boost to your stats available for 2k gold again. We might be lucky to see 15-20 indestructibles awarded and around a 6-8k raw stat boost. But rest assured, the reason that is the case has absolutely nothing to do with pre-staging and everything to do with balancing the event.

whats all this dumb talk about exploitation? You want to know where the exploitation is? how about Gree allowing players to buy victory and advantage in their advertised and marketed "strategy game". The only ones being exploited around here is us.

only read first few posts and yes i also keep my mouth shut no matter what cus i don't want gree getting any ideas about how to make things different aka harder. forums can work against us too

.

yes，i agree with you。all of us keep sharing how to prestage and the trick in the game and of cos it will definately spolit the gree plan。guys hope all of you understand，gree is not a charitable organisation that create games for all to play for free。they need to earn profits to pay wages，bonuses for their staffs as they command high wages，rental cost and operational cost is another factor too。they are sandwich in btw but they cant voice their misery out。imagine if u are a worker and yours boss expolit so that he can pay u lesser，how will you feel？

there are many other tricks or ways to get stronger why you guys dun share？for eg how to get the lead soldier etc。

please think of others，if all of us save on spending who is gg to pay for all gree programmer，staffs and wages。if gree goes down，do you think we still have the joy of these game。

i had been reading the forum constantly，all i see is constant complaining and fussing，but lots of you dun understand the real logic behind。the previous ltq is used to narrow the gaps btw those who spend and those whom played for free。this will help those playing for free not to feel so inferior and shock by the difference in stats。if majority of the free player slowly feel that tis game is craps and impossible to compete start to quit what left will be those spending。

hackers spolit the games but those with million in stats also spolit the game，when majority of the player stats are ard 100k face such opponent how will they feel，it is like impossible to match，even they spend hours farming building etc。majority of us are only thinking of individual gains but neglect the feeling of others。so what if you are rich and willing to spend，remember without the poor there wont be the rich，without those free players even if you are strong，you will only be fighting among yourselves。

sadly speaking all have yourselves to be blame，this forum is just a platform for gree to understand how majority of us feel to work on it，in another way counter us back。so majority are dumb enough to fall into the trap。i had played mw for nearly a year and just spend time reading but not expressing a single comment until today。

lastly if those whom had or willing to spend big money since day 1 of the game y complain？isnt 4k gold meagre to what you had spent since day 1? further more most of us had gain，the +2 energy and health boost，our energy reg faster then ever，we have 6 days to complete it。hence if you fully utilise yours energy reg，you wont need to spend 4k of gold to complete。gree give us 6 days to complete，no one else had force or ask us to complete it within 2 hour。aint that dumb？secondly you can always increase urs energy when you level up，but many of you choose to pump stats and waste energy reg。。base on past ltq or event，the reference was said to est 2000+ gold to complete，but if you fully utilise the time frame it can be done with less then 1000 gold。tested and proven。so dun blame other，blame only yourselves。。

pun and ferr killer

Annoys me too. The well reasoned arguments from seasoned players all agree it's nothing to do with staging. Keep using the forum folks. That's what it's here for.

So where did Gree write that pre-staging is forbidden? No where.

Plus, pre-staging has benefits for Gree and disadvantages for the players: they make you level up faster. This is probably the main reason why Gree authorizes it.

Hi actually that is something I remember from living in France. Here in North America it's about being told what to do while over there it seemed more about what you could do. A very refreshing change.

Used to drive the autoroute from Paris to my place just outside of Arles and always chuckled when I hit the billboard of the topless woman holding up the roll of toilet paper. Over here that would never fly, sadly.

Prepare the maps or not... All Gree wants is for us to spend the gold so that we have to buy more. They have tried in CC once, in a more straightforward way, in the "buy what ever you like with 2000 gold and recive this unit" event. That we did not like...
Therefore Gree gave us something less obvious to spend the gold on. The main reason is still the same... Spend the gold...

LTQ's have ruined Kingdom Age. A character that took a year to get to 200k stats with mild gold spending can now (and has now) gone to 800k stats in 3 months with very little gold via LTQ prizes that are better stats than most World Domination prizes.

Personally I hope they totally nerf the LTQ & Boss events so we don't end up in the situation in KA where if you don't have 1 million stats - you can't even find a target to attack during battles.

Inflation in the game with the LE sets was already bad enough - but at least that was still based on a choice to spend gold - now the highest gold units bought last year don't even make it into my Top45 - probably not even my Top 100 :/

So much for being an elite player because you built an account over a long period of time - now a player 3 or 4 months in the game can have stats near those who have played for 16 months - smh
