    We have secret alliance strategies? I'm always the last to know... icon_rolleyes.gif

    Look, we all know you guys take the game and alliance rankings more seriously than you let on in public. It's a thing, that is known, and we all know it

    Anyone in Terran Dominion know Miley? We can lock the twerk game down if we can land her.

    Playing Ying Yang Twins as a mating call...
  • Actually I feel bad about the slight derailment. I swear my crew could derail an obituary thread.

    On the other hand, as a member of a very active 20 man alliance, I am really looking forward to ISO awards. Hopefully anyone who wants to and plays seriously is also either in or able to get into an alliance where they, too, can get these rewards.

    OMG YAY! Hopefully, this fixes the "MPQ app freezes and crashes every 12th time I try to send an in-game chat message", ahem... issue.

    I'm glad that people think we're a bit more serious than we appear, else everyone would think we were marginally literate, and that's only true of TU1.

    What allorin says is true, though: we don't tell him anything. The rest of us quietly strategize using a Caesar shift cipher with a key that changes daily. We do not tell allorin the key, under penalty of trout-slap, 6hkigaykgrruxotoygroskehgyzgxj.

    And the exclamation point means she is excited and happy to do it. How cold blooded. She didn't even offer us a choice.
    This was a triumph! Huge success!

    Uhmmm, have we even been top ten the last few tourneys?

    Don't get me wrong, I play to win. It's these other 19 slackers that keep letting me down...

    You know nothink, Manuel.

    Edit: Ooh, ooh! or: "You know nothing, Jon Snow." Bit more current, that one.

    That would be correct, yes. This is not a "non-Alliance tax" or taking anything away from those that don't want to be in an Alliance. It's a bonus for those that *are* in an active one.

    Thanks for the clarification IceIX, you're an awesome community manager icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Do you agree that the in-universe patch notes could be made clearer or more descriptive, though?

    This is what comes of letting all the djangoliers loose at the same time. The havok they wreak is overwhelming and usually the reason why dlaw only lets the out a couple at a time.

    On topic: this patch came out a lot quicker than R50. Was it just because R50 contained alliance chat that it took so long?

    To me, this reads as "members of an alliance receive an ISO-8 stipend based upon the number of active players in the alliance each day."
    This would mean: 1) Larger alliances yield higher stipends 2) Everyone in the alliance has to play every day to receive the maximum stipend for an alliance's size

    Is this the correct interpretation, IceIX?
    That would be correct, yes. This is not a "non-Alliance tax" or taking anything away from those that don't want to be in an Alliance. It's a bonus for those that *are* in an active one.


    If only I could receive tribute from all 4 of my alliances! This is he only feature I am interested in, and as far as alliance features it doesn't really come into the top 10 most wanted by anyone. How about you guys code a demote button? It shouldn't be so hard, you just switch an attribute in a SQL db. Do it... Do it!

    Event tokens not turning into heroics kinda sucks since it's often nice to wait on a heroic if I don't need the hero from the token.
    Yeah, it makes the Hulk pvp token completely worthless, since it's now daken/bullseye with a 'chance' of Hulk, instead of a tiny chance at a good 3-star.
  • The R51 patch is up in the Google Play store.

    Alliance members are reporting daily alliance login bonuses of (25 ISO * # of people who played yesterday in alliance [collecting daily reward as a qualifier?]), capping out at 500 ISO per alliance member at 20 members (25 * 20 = 500).

    Also the types of events are now clearly called out on the event cards. For example, Smash Hit now portrays a green border with a "Versus" tag on it.
  • So it means I'm now stuck with the Smash progression token? I can't use more Hulk or ** covers, and was waiting it to convert to heroic -- for the negligible but at least existing chance to get something useful.
