Hello dear compet deed makers!

Crone likes the drawing style. However the animations during battle seem like a quick finish to him.

The disconnects are irritating and the message blames Crone. His wifi is perfect. Crone keeps checking it for nothing.

The game takes a long time loading. Please give Crone an option to turn the loading screen animation off. The way to move around town is pretty well thought of, but again slow.

Crone likes the auto battle a lot. He plays 1 or two battles to a enemy or so and then uses auto battle. However he forgets to tick the box quite frequently and all of a sudden he is fighting the battle himself. Maybe change the tick box in a second button.

Last but not least the progress at start is very fast which Crone enjoyed, however Crone felt bored after 5 battles and felt bored after 20 battles. If it wasn't EU related he would have deleted the game. The start is just too easy.

Crone also did the tutorial a couple times and even then his wife needs to tell him how to level his pet simply because the game keeps crashing on him while trying to make a connection. Sometimes the tutorial remembers to start where it was disconnected sometimes it starts all over and sometimes it just skips what it was explaining.

Crone also lost one battle, one has to test everything, right? Although the battle was lost, out of hp, the battle did not finish, Crone had to hit the give up button to move on. It was not Crone's intention to test the button at that specific time, but it worked. Losing the battle did not work out.

Crone also finished a battle against a creature he did not pick a fight with. Some kind of special roll? The reward in gold was about 4x the reward he would have gotten from the creature he selected. It was a nice surprise. Unfortunately it was also an auto battle. Crone would have liked to see it and fight the battle himself.

So in recap:
Slow, nice graphics, slow, bad animations, slow, to easy at start, did Crone say slow? Disconnects and wrong error message.

On the good side... uhm... Crone can delete the game and hope others do like it since he and Mai have a good amount of deeds.

He does have one question. In EU it takes quite some time to level your pets, it is not free either. Crone was under the impression it would be possible for him to have his pets in compet. Although he could not find a way to connect his compet to EU, that could be because of beta. His worry is that levelling a pet in compet is rather quick and so far cost him nothing. Will this levelling in compet influence the level of the pets in EU?

Thanks for you attention. Crone will be back to write more.
 
So, Crone has been playing some more ComPet, slowly, painfully, but playing a few games each day. And it is just a boring game. The battle process is so slow, Crone uses auto battle for every single game. Hitting, forest, auto, battle over and over again is not very entertaining. Then again, Crone is only working on his second level 5 pet.

If you need heaps of money, simply hit the raid button and raid every none guarded settlement you can find, easy peasy.

This really worries me: level 5 pets took some time in EU, if those pets are how do you call it, interchangeable (?) Crone would expect people to be pissed off. Especially those that paid a fortune to level theirs.

Crone's lady Mai seems to have regular connection problems still, Crone does not. However he did run into some code while searching for raid options every once in a while. Closing the raid screen and reopening it helped out.
 
Crone can worry less about pets leveling up to fast. Forest battles will be limited to 10 per day once out of beta when we're not testing so much. Kim posted this somewhere a couple of days ago.
 
Ya and pets are not interchangeable, they in the future MAY add in a way to bring in pets from EU using the stables but it has not been absolutely confirmed action or any timelines set. There has never been a mention of them allowing pets from Compet game to enter the EU game but most likely will just be a one way transaction.

If you think about it, it makes sense that way as the games from the start were never intended to complement each other, they were always intended to be two separate games.

The only real connection since beginning is deed holders will generate revenue off compet battle pack fights which looks like rakes in 20% of battle pack worth between both combatants. So 20% of both peoples battle pack, multiply 30% of the take divided by 200000 deed and that will be your share of one compet battle per deed it appears.

so two 5 PED battle packs enter arena, 2 PED is raked by game from winnings, .6 PED will go to the deed holders in EU 1.4 ped is kept by MA and or their partner or however they do accounting on their end. The final per deed split will be 0.000006 PED. So there will need to be 1667 5 PED battle pack battles fought in arena every month to generate 1 pec per deed :p If my math is right.
 
Crone is now in the process of testing missions. Hopefully his pets make it through and they will get a nice XP boost.

Levelling ofcourse in EU has never been any fun. Well it still isn't. Anyways, Crone will not be playing this game for a long time.

Thanks two everyone clearing up my worry about pets in game and pets in compet. It is really disappointing though to realise the games are separated. Missed opportunity if you ask me.
 
So Crone still did not give up on Compet. The last few days he did just a couple attacks in the forest, when he needs cash he just raids some and he has been sending his pets on missions.

So far every mission was a success (even the ones below 50% chance), some of the missions have good rewards. If Crone does not like the reward he just hits the X and the mission disappears, which is good. About an hour later a new mission appears.

Also Crone opened a veterinary. This should help regenerate health after lost battles. Crone is not sure what the use is to do this since health is rather cheap and gold is easy to get through raiding. Crone did like 10 raids he encountered only 1 that actually had a guard. Crone simply chose one of the other three options without a guard.

During one of the forest fights an opponent decided to join Crone's stables. This time, yes it happens quite frequently, it was a golden rooster. YAY, he thinks. Crone has a special place in his stable for golden roosters.

This morning apparently was the end of seasonal ranking, unfortunately he keeps getting that message about every 3 screens, which is quite irritating. Crone won gold and diamonds. If he added the value of all that he would have had more diamonds than the average diamond mine.

Anyways, the game play is still slow.
 
So, Crone did some more missions, fought a couple more forest battles, did some raids, then deleted the game. It is simplying not worth Crone's time. Anyways, Mai seems to enjoy it and she is still gradually improving her pets.

For Crone it takes to much time and no fun. It's a good thing the deeds are increasing in value.
 
Crone is Crone obviously :D

But feel free to do a search on the forums. To see what other messed up things come up.
