The rubies added to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place PvP and Arcane Rift rewards are greater than those given to 4-10 even though it may not appear so. That's just a visual bug. 1st place gives 30 rubies // 2nd place gives 25 rubies // and 3rd place gives 20 rubies. :P
All-Time Top 100 scores in the game touched 376 flowers. Then you have player that managed to touch over 400 and almost 800 flowers....I'd like to see someone try to defend the "merits" of hacking.
I'm assuming that player aren't aware of this: PvP opponents are determined by both you're level and by you're ranking compared to those of other players // the number of points a player can be worth can range from 1-60, but the average player can get opponents between 20-50 points depending on the player themselves // up to 3 rounds (5min each) best of 2, and you automatically lose if you run out of time // the experience gained from PvP has recently been GREATLY increases and can be used as an effective way to level up as an added bonus to the possibility of PvP rewards :D
I bet that in the time it takes for a player to make a wall of complaints about a game, they could've already resolved any issues that they'd have with it. :P meh. (If this comment can stay at *exactly* +4, I'll post info about an Easter Egg)
Mainland maps were given cool-downs so that they can't be "farmed" for certain resources. A much better compromise from the previously-used energy system.
If I recall, you're allowed to change your character's name once *free of charge.* It's more of a counter-measure to prevent players from changing their character's name willy-nilly. As least this game gives you the option. :P
Keep in mind that the quality of your Cloudstone gaming experience is dependent almost entirely on your Internet connection as opposed to their server. Hence, issues that include lagging and Flash Player crashes are problems that can only be fixed by the user. If it's something like "Black Magic" then you'd likely see other users mention it in chat.
#for player who dislike games that ask for money: WAYS TO EARN FREE RUBIES ON CLOUDSTONE 1) Day 5 Daily Bonus // 2) Cloudstone Contracts // 3) PvP League Top 10 // 4) Arcane Rift guild Top 10 // 5) PvP 1st in League or Top 15 Global // and 6) (one of the fastest ways to obtain rubies) Kongregate Free Kred Surveys meh. >.>
Just for the record, the PvP in the game is Player versus an AI Computer. I think we all know how laggy and impractical the game would be if player had to fight each other in live PvP. The Computer has it's own stock of "potion" that does not affect the player's stock. These potions add a small amount of hp and power to the AI when it is at low health (25%-ish). They're limited to 0-3 potions per round and are implemented to make up for the simplicity of the AI computer. Have fun~!
