How come when we get the 100 Ratiop plat trophy we can get all the other ratio trophies at the same time, but it's not the same with energy and energy month trophies?

This month I got the top 10 clan and top 100 energy month trophies, but not top 25 clan, 250 energy month, top 100 clan, top 100 energy, or top 1000 energy month?

I'm really confused why I didn't get the top 100 energy because I was 34th in energy. The next cut off isn't until 25.

If the top bots got each of the lesser trophies they would simply get too many trophy points each month.

For instance getting the top level would give you:
180pts (top) + 90pts (top10) + 30pts (top25) + 15pts (top100) = 315pts

Then imagine the bot gets several other top 10 trophies as well. The top bots would never run out of points if they just kept using the tier 1 or tier 2 buffs.

Ya that makes sense then. So to collect all those trophies you have to start sucking..that sucks.

I think I'd prefer to be able to get all of those trophy points in one month, rather than having to deliberately do badly to get the other trophies.

Btw, you were 34th for monthly energy but outside the top 100 for total energy last month. Judging by your monthly and total energy you were probably only 1-2k energy away from the top 100 energy trophy.

Damn it.. I was so close then >< I was only looking at the HoF, but our bot pages shows us our rankings with level, wins, evnergy, etc. maybe this month :/ I hope to hell I can stay in the top 10 energy month for that plat. I would love it.

Now I'm 83 energy, can December be over right now? lol

Yes, but reversed. Energy is collected by (usually) lower levels, and then dumped on main bots by attacking and losing.

So maybe I should give up now? Cuase I'm not at lvl 20 and can't get as much energy as I did in the last few days of last month as quick

Not really, several of the big dumpster users are not scoring and your level isnt that high yet.. Also not too late to make some dumpsters on the go.

Just do the easy thing and make a level 20 bot. You will get levelled though, if you poke your head too far out.

Jans pointed out about dumping bots, attacking higher level bots and losing. That's an awful slow transfer of energy, whenever I lose it's only 10 or less at a time, it would take days to transfer a significant amount of energy.


 
neps [271]

My personal experience with dumpers:

About 180 energy per minute
9-10k energy per hour, yay

  • Collector's statement:

Does not compute

That's if you sit there with no other tabs open or anything else, and click fight again for an hour straight. Not all that tempting :/


 
neps [272]

[13 years, 213 days ago]

The same could be said for normal energy gathering, and if you click once per minute, well, even with 120 energy per hour regular gathering (compared to 60 energy from dumping), it is always going to take, as he said,

take days to transfer a significant amount of energy.

Also, you think the time it takes to search for a target doesn't add up? Attack, back to fight list, attack, attack, back to fight list, 2-3 seconds scanning for a target. The argument that dumping is more inefficient than regular attacking if you are doing something at the same time is an absolute falsehood. Dumping is precisely what you want to be doing if you want to multitask, regular gathering is much more involved and requires much more attention. Which is why I can afford to dump for several hours/day, it's easy, I can do it while working/doing other stuff. Gathering the regular way for hours on end requires actual attention too often and for too long, something that I can't afford to give if I want to be actually productive at other things.

I used collector to dump energy up to me to try it and the 50 fights I could do took only like 5 minutes and usually only transferred 9 energy, which is only 450 energy. Not that much. That's why I said what I did (through Collector). I was speaking from my experience so you can't really tell me I was spewing falsehood.

Please read my entire post again, and not just a tiny bit of it. Or are you actually arguing that

A. Actively searching for targets while working/browsing at the same time.

is easier than

B. simply clicking a link at the side of your screen every time it pops up?

If you don't realize that I am correct, then I can arrive at only one conclusion:

Dumping: you're doing it wrong. Don't worry, as time goes on maybe you can learn how to make it work better. Learning new things ftw.

You could stagger when you replace equipment if you can, then it won't break all at once.,Aand start looking once it's down 75% durability, with a shop chance you'll find some things before others. Assuming you're training against train bots you'll always have enough money too.

Really, to be competative you need a kudos bot, either your own or one you find. It's tough winning fights by pure luck to get enough money for uniques. It seems most bots c ratios lower than 1 are abandoned and have already been stripped of their kudos.
