questions

As said, I lost all my kudos in one loss of an offline fight directed towards me.

How the heck does that happen. In a fight the winner gets 1/3 of the kudos... probably had their 100 fights of Aura of Eternity activated and just snatched them all up?

Probably just answered my own querstion..

He or she had the Aura of Eternity or Blitz's Bounty III on. As Ender would say, working as intended!

Yep, you answered your question. There is no other way to steal all the kudos off other bot.

Blitz Bounty III gives only 250% kudos, so it was AoE

I'm saving my AoE for... something like high ratio bots. Just feel like I'd waste it if I use it against some bot I gain normal xp from.

I love AoE :)

Gotta love the insurance :)

I'm depressed to say it wasn't until last week that I realized that you could steal all of someones kudos with a +kudos buff. I thought it was just for training. :<

Well since I won the previous fight against him and got over 5K kudos from him, then he won the second taking it all back, I didn't really lose anything.

and balance is restored :)

And yet using AoE when attacking a bot of my own for money, I didn't take it all at once... now how's that work?

Was it online? If it is the money received is greatly reduced.

Gr...yes. O well, now I know.

I'm only realizing this just now.

^ I guess you plan on fixing this? Because I realized this error within the first 30 minutes of playing how I would get like 20 kuddos and then if fought again I would get 1 kuddo. What will end up being the plan/modification if you do plan on fixing this "problem"?

I'm not convinced it's a problem (and not convinced it isn't), but I'll think about it.

If you do change it, you will have to somehow make it so you can't use up the kudos buff fighting.

Personally, I like it because there are the bots that make a shit-ton in a matter of minutes then there are the ones that make the amount they win in a matter of hours. It would be a problem however if the buffs stacked on top of one another (already tried that and realized it doesn't do crap) which is great. It leaves me to question if you can use the EXP buff and the fight speed buff in unison with one another to train 3x-5x faster.

It would definitely be a deterrence for new players Ender, to lose all your kudos in 1 fight is demoralizing for beginners.

^ Another valid point and view. It is true that it is unfair for the kuddo buff to take all the money away from the newer players. I think that perhaps kuddo buffs be edited to where you cannot use them in a fight until level 30? It would be beneficial considering you don't start banking decently until then.

Meh, there is insurance. Even without the kudos buff, you'd be surprised how fast you can drain kudos normally. You can drain, say, 900k, down to a little more than 16k in just 10 attacks. Don't want to lose kudos? Buy insurance.

^ another valid argument

I'm going to have to agree with Neps on this one.

I'd have to agree with neps as well. Is that not why insurance was started in Bots2, to have money left next time logging in? Also you acn insure any amount of money right?

When I started this thread I was only making an observation, not cmoplaining about kudos transfer.

working as intended
